NEW YORK, April %. The Tribune's

Lincoln was in Richmond, Judge Camp.
bell told him that in an interview with
Davis, Breckenridge and Benjamin, Just
before they left, he said to them that as
there was no hope for the Confederacy,
and as President Lincoln would not ne
gotiate with them, he (Lincoln) would
negotiate with the State and recognize
the right of the Virginia Legislature to
control the troops of that State. He
then told Mr.. Lincoln that if he would
permit that body To convene it would
doubtless recall the Virginia troops from
the field. Mr. Lincoln cautioned Judge
Campbell against any misunderstanding
and gave him in writing his only terms,
which were those rendered in the Hamp-
ton Roads interview, to which he added
another, that i'm case the leaders per-
sisted in the war their property should
be relentlessly cOnfscated On the way
to Washington Mr. Lincoln wrote an or.
der to Gen. Weitzel to permit the Viz
ginia Legislature to convene in Rich
mond for the purpose of withdrawing
the Virginia troops from the rebel army.
but not to allow the use of any treasona-
BILE language, nor the adoption of trea-
sonable measures; but on the very day of
his death he read letter from Judge
Campbell tinged with the usual rebel in
science, ignoring altogether the propO-
sition which the President had made to
him, and urging that though the militia
ry power of the Confederacy was des-
troyed the spirit of the Southern people
was still unbroken. If You wan: to con-
ciliate them it will be wise for you to
grant an amnesty and necessary for you
to treat leniently their leading public
men and seek their assistance. This was
too much for Mr.. Lincoln's good nature.
He characterized Campbell's course AS
ungrateful and outrageous. Meanwhile
the surrender of Lees army obviated the
necessity for convening the Virginia
Legislature and he sent an order coun-
termanding the call.

as follows: We find in Mobile and its

munition and supplies of all kinds, and
about one thousand prisoners. lnvento-

Major General Hancock reports that
nearly all of Mosby's command have sur
rendered, including nearly or quite all
the officers except Mosby himself Some
of Mosby's men are hunting reward of
500, 900 offered for him by General Han
cock. who has been directed to establish
his headquarters at Washington.
The counties of Prince George, Charles
and St. Mary's, during the whole war
have been noted for hostility to the Gov
ernment and their protection to the reb-
el blockade runners, rebel spies and every
succor of the public enemy. The mnr-
derers of the President were harbored
there before the murder and Booth fled
in that direction. If he escapes it will
be Immediately to the rebel accomplices
in that direction. The military COM
mander of this department will surely
take measures to bring these rebel sym
pathizers and accomplices in murder to
a sense of their criminal conduct.

The People Of North Carolina A nxieus
for the Old Union.

The Herald's correspondent at Colds,
boro says that on Sunday last the dispo
sitiOn of General Sherman's force was
such as to insure Johnston's capture in a
very short time. Fitzpatrick had pursued
the rebels some thirty miles beyond Raj
eigh, without meeting any resistance
from them, Raleigh being in the indis
puted possession of the national forces.
The railroad was being rapidly repaired
and trains would be running through to
that city from Wilmington and Newbern
in few days.
The majority of the people of North
Carolina, wherever General Sherman's
troops penetrated, are represented as be-
ing exceedingly anxious to he allowed to
resume their former position in the Union,
and perfectly willing, in order to attain
that object, to give up the institution of
slavery entirely
The old 10th army corps has been re-
organized, and is commanded by General
Terry.

The CrowninR Evil

In Virginia is the constant and increas
ing influx of the negroes into Richmond
1t is doubly an evil. They multiply SC
much an already too extensive pauper
population, and they denude the farm
lands of the labor necessary to putting
in the crops and securing the harvests
the present year 1t is not intended to
imply that these negroes should remain
on the plantations in their former condi,
tion, but facts plainly stated will show
that the Government should now, when
all danger of their deportation by their
former masters is over, discourage, if not
positively prohibit, their hegira into the
cities. Here they are the most unproti'
table of consumers.
Bred all their lives to agricultural pur-
suits. they are ignorant Of the mechani-
cal trades, and cannot expect employ
ment that would be profitable to them
selves or the community On the other
hand, they would be Invaluable on the
plantations during the present season.
A trip over any of the Virginia railroads
reveals the fact that a large proportion
of the soil is lying idle, while the whole
State is numbered with starving popu.
lation. This soil must be cultivated, and
as in many instances its owners have fed,
sound policy would dictate that, for a
season at least, it be turned over to the
negroes, to make what they can from it.
They could certainly support themselves,
and that is more than they are doing here.
General Ord has this matter of the in
flux of stranger population, both white
and black, under consideration, and some
policy in respect to it will shortly be an
nounced by general orders, and in his
hands it may safely be left.

have come to the knowledge Of the Gov
ernnent render it nearly certain that
Booths horse fell with him on Friday
night, l4th inst, and it is believed caused
a fracture of one of his legs. 1t is also
reported that he has divested himself OF
his moustache. The likeness OF Booth
published in Harper's Weekly is said to
be correct. The attention of surgeons
and the public is called to the circum-
stances. If Booth is lying concealed and
wounded. the rewards offered and the de-
lection of his crime to all loyal citizens
will soon bring him to light.

IT is believed that the extended publ
cation which has been made of the arrests

tragedy of Friday last, has defeated,
somewhat, the ends of justice. A re-
quest has therefore been made that no
such publication be made for the pres.

ably be no objection to the full details

that the Presidents murderer may be
forthcoming at any moment. Ii is

GRANTS TERMs.-A correspondent OF
the Tribune says that the terms upon
which Lee was permitted to surrender
the fragments of the rebel army under
his command are regarded with disgust
and unqualified Indignation by large
numbers of the most sensible, loyal and
influential citizens in this region" This
correspondent represents the opinions of
few people who refused to volunteer,
and who excused themselves upon the
plea of weak eyes, weak knees or weak
backs when they were drafted. To call
them either sensible, loyal or inhuen-
tial" is absurd They are willing to have
our brave soldiers killed unnecessarily |;
but they are not willing to go TO the war
themselves. They p ofess to have more
patriotism than the Lieutenant General /;
but they are careful never tn show their
faith by their works.--Ner York Herald.
