Capture Of Fayetteville Gen. Sherman .Mor-
ing on Raisigh-Panic .fmong the Negroes.
New YORK. March 10.

New YORK, March 10.
Refugees who have arrived in Newborn oil
state that Fayetteville, N. c., was IN our pos.
session asst week, and Sherman was within fbr-
~ miles Of Raleigh, and that the rebel soldiers
were deserving by companies. and In some I'M
stances by regiments; that most OF them were
retiring to their homes; that the people pay
hut little heed to the proclamation OF GoV.
Vance calling them to arms; that In most pia.
ces in North Carolina the people GO forth with
words of welcome to meet Sherman, and are not
particular about placing their stocks and sup.
plies out Of his reach. Many Of the Inhabitants
Of western North Carolina were on their way
10 meet their relatives and friends In Sherman's
army, with their wagons well stored with pro-
visions. native wines, and such other comforts
as Sherman's Union visitors will relish. ~.
From the tone Of the Raleigh press, with the
exception of the Confederate, II would seem rs
though no one could have the hardihood to en-
terrain n hope for the success OF the Confeder-
acy The Progress says Sherman will soon be
in possession Of Raleigh, and will 60 wherever
he desires. Quite panic has prevailed among
the negroes in North Carolina since the an.
nouncemen, that they are to be conscripted to
fight In the rebel army. The rebels are now
gathering them up for this purpose. A strong
combination exists among the conservative
Shareholders to resist this measure, some of
whom are arining their slaves In order that
they may be able to delay the. authorities, and
thus detain their servants, who exhibit read
mess to fight for their for their masters and
their homes rather than for the rebels.
The Progress says great numbers OF negroes
are focking to Sherman's army, with the MS.
sistance of their masters, with the promise that
they will return and work for wages rs soon as
Il will be safe for them to do so. This gives the
negro question an interesting aspect. II will
not delay Sherman's movements, however.

The Administration of Abraham Lincoln.

The New York Times has an article re-
viewing the Presidential term Of Abraham
Lincoln. which concludes as follows: '
The Presidential term has been supcrlative-
" successful. But for the great practical
wisdom of Mr.. Lincoln, not only in shaping
his action. but in recognizing the appropri.
ate tim, for his action, the result would have
been very different. His forbearance aud
conciliatory language during the first period
were necessary to convince the bewiliered
North that the South had absolutely ceased
3, no sinsible 10 any such influences. With
out having any effect upon the South, they
had prodigious effect upon the North.
They settled all doubts, assimulated all SEN
tiuents. and prepared the people, rs nothing
else could, for that unparalleled uprising
which followed the first fash Of rebel artille-
~. So, too. the restricted mode OF warfare
that ut first prevailed was an immediate ad-
vantage. IL kept the great body Of the
Democratic party reconcied to the war, gave
time for old party ideas to take away and
gradually scbooled all classes Of the people
up to recognition OF the necessity Of fight.
ing with che rebellion and slavery, its nurse,
Just M there could have been no united
North but for the Executive forbearance dur
ing the first period. and the casting upon
the rebels the responsibilities OF the first vi
olent act. Just 80 the North would have been
afterwards fatally divided if the removal Of
Mcclellan. or the issue of the Emancipation
Proclamation had been hastcned. All this
tremendous peril was ayertcd by simply leav-
ing Time to DO the great monitor. President
Lincoln went no faster than popular support
would firmly follow; and the result was
that his final policy Of cxterminating not on.
" the rebellion. but tho institution out Of
which it grew, was ratified by his reelection
with n majority hardly equallcd by any Of
his predecessors
Nobody pretends that this Presidential
term has been without errors. To say this
would be to sy that Mr.. Lincoln is more
than human. In the thick darkness that
has 20 often closed in upon all public coun-
sells, IL would be miraculous IL the President,
like all other public men, had not sometimes
made misstep. lie has sometimes erred !;
yet has always been quick to retrieve him.

scans Mr.. Lincoln's path through all the i'm.
mense difficulties OF this Presidential term.
that he has traversed it with such forecast,
