Gen. Terry has arrived at Richmond and
assumed command of the Department of
Virginia, in place of Gen. Old, who goes
Gen. Turner has been assigned to the
military district of HenriCo county, en-
braetug Richmond. His first act was to
squelch the rebel Mayor Mayo, who had
been reinstated, with his negro -hunting
rebel police.
A band of guerrillas, five hundred strong,
have lately collected in Patrick county,
Virginia, threatening the Inhabitants with
vengeance Four have been arrested, and
TWO were at once tried, convicted and seu-
fenced to be shot-the others were sent to
the penltentiary.
The Tribune's Richmond correspondent
says:
The military authorities under the COM.
mand OF Halleck, Patrick and Ord, in
connection with the rebel Mayor
Mayo, have inaugurated system of op.
preston and embargo upon the colored
people of Richmond, which has created
Intense excitement. The correct details of
these Outrages have already been printed.
The Tribnue's Washington special says:
Sherman's friends assert that Halleck's
placing the responsibility for his order
upon Grant is dishonest quibble. Grant
notified Halleck of the Government's dis
approval, but Ihe'specifio auuuilment was
Halleck's, and nnknowu to Grant.
sherman has letter from Halleck, in
which he says in what he did he WAS ouly
carrying out what be knew to be the
wishes of the War Department. Tit
