Washington special says:
Advices received here to-day direct from
Raleigh state that the conference between
Sherman and Johnston took place At Chapel
Hill, some Is miles west OF Raleigh
Johnston's army, composed Of about 80,
600 men. including Hampton's and Wheel
er's cavalry, lay 30 miles from the city, on
the road running to Charlotte.
On the second interview, Breckenridge,
the rebel Secretary Of War, was present and
part cipated in drawing up the already pub
lished memoranda Of the terms of capitula-
ton. Daring the conversation he freely ad
mitted the failure Of the rebellion. and de-
clared that peace was almost at hand, and
abiding to the Constitutional amendment,
said that it was strictly the legal way Of
abolishing slavery, and he predicted its rati.
fcation by more than two-thirds Of the
States.
II was understood that during this con
ference which lasted two days, Jcil. Da-
Wis was at Hillsboro, and in telegraph com
munication with Breckenridge at JohL sons
Headquarters. The men OF the rebel ar
my, with the exception OF now and then,
some officer, were anxious for peace and de
sired togo home. There has been most
earnest exhibitions Of Royalties.
When our forces entered Raleigh, the two
papers the Standard, edited by Holden, and
the Progress, were found to have been such
strong union papers for sometime post that
they were in no wise intericrcd with. They
continued their regular issues. No public
or private property has been destroyed by
l. our troops, and the citizens. including large
number Of ladies, appeared as usual on the
! streets. business was not even suspended.

reached Raleigh last Wednesday. That
night very large meeting OF citizens was
| held, at which resolutions were passed de-
nouncing the deed, and expressing sympa
thy fer the Nation and the people. The
size of the meeting surprised the army, who
stood aloof from it. Gov. Vance skedad
died before our troops entered the place
The report Of his capture is therefore an
true When this Intelligence left Raleigh,
it was the opinion in the army, that the
tern OF Jnhnston's surrender were uucon
| ditional submission among generals Of high
| rank No others were known or even hint
ed at.
