since assuming command in Richmond, has
established in that city bureau of public
archives, in which are to be deposited and
preserved all documents found within his
department. bearing on the history of the re-
bellion. rf. s.... .-y,.... .t- r-'
A new sub-district, to be known as the

in the department of Virginia. 1t consists
of the territory embraced within the bound
aries of the York and Pamunky rivers on the
north, Chesapeake Bay on the east, James
river on the south, and the Fredericksburg
railroad on the west, with headquarters at

endeavoring to obtain terms favorable to
the traitors. .3'27 2"

EDITORS OHIO STATESMAN:
GENTs-As the subject of insurance has
been discussed to great extent during the
past few months, throughout this section OF
the State, the advocates of each holding up
the merits of their own company to the
best possible advantage, as being superior to
all others; but, as the real substantial mer-
its of any company are exhibited and tested,
only when they are called upon to settle q
loss on property insured by them, and hay
ing been, unfortunately, favored with an
opportunity Of judging of the merits of one
company under such circumstances, feel
1t my duty to let the public know the re-
suit.
On the 10th of January, 1865, insured
my house in the Home Insurance c. mpdny Of
Columbus, Ohio, for $4,000. On the 26th OF
April my house caught fire in the roof from
a burning chimney, and it was by the
prompt and persevering energies Of the
good citizens of Westerville that any por-
tion of it was saved from the devouring ell
ements. 1 notified the Secretary of my
loss, when he Immediately sent his Assist
ant General Agent, Mr.. L. P. Hubbard,
who, after the loss was appraised by COM
mittee of my neighbors, settled it to my
entire satisfaction Oh the 9th inst.
This promptness OH the part of the Home
Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio, in set
tling its losses, recommends itself to the
favorable consideration of every person
having property to insure. Truly yours,
[Signedl . L. WATERS.

Preparation to Receive the StOne-
YnIl-ReductiOuO Of The ARMY.

New Y DIRK, May LIN view of the fact
that the rebel Stonewall is afloat and sup
posed to be making her way to the coast,
the Government has made preparations for
her reception, by placing .ron-clads in our
harbors. The Roanoke and other iron-clads,
besides a torpedo boat, are in readiness in
this harbor.
The Herald's Washington special says
Gen. Grant, Immediately on his return to
Washington, set about making an arrange
ment for the contemplated heavy decrease
of our military force and consequent reduc-
tion of Government expense. 1t is thought
the army will soon be reduced 100000 men.
The Herald's correspondent says the I'd
army corps has exclusive charge of affairs in
the vicinity of Burkesville Junction, pro-
tecting the inhabitants from marauding of
Lees discharged men. The inhabitants are
so poorly off that our commissaries have to
feed them. Upwards OF $50 families, aver
aging eight adults, are thus kept froms tary-

Grants Return 10 Washington
His Interview with Gen. Sler-

man. III
New YORK, May 1.-The Herald's WASH
ington special says Gen. Grant has returned
to Washington in excellent spirits. He eX-
pressed much qualification at the prompt
execution of the orders of the Government
in reference to the agreement between Gen.
Sherman and Joe Johnston. Gen. Sherman
met the Lieutenant General 20 miles from
the front. He received the order of disap-
proval with most commendable good grace.
There was no hesitation, no murmurng, nor
any expression of dissatisfaction at the dis
approval of the terms entered into between
him and the rebel General; but without
any delay or argument in defense of the
course previously pursued, General Sher-
man and his Generals, with true solderly
mien, set to work with alacrity to carry out
the views or the Government communicated
by General Grant. Within five minutes
dispatch was sent to Johnston terminating
the armistice, upon the receipt of the no.
tfication by the rebel pickets; and orders
were given for our troops in the rear to
move up to the front. In few hours Gen.
Frank Blair, with his corps, was in motion.
General Sherman had informed Johnston
that the Government would not sanction
the terms proposed, and that he should i'm
mediately resume hOstilities. Immediately
upon receipt of this notice Johnston sent
back flag of truce asking an interview
with Sherman, to arrange other terms of
surrender, which was promptly made upon
the basis of the terms given to Gen. Lee.
The Worlds special says Johnston has
pledged himself to exercise his authority
and vigilance to prevent guerrilla bush
whacking or any kind of illegal warfare.

New YORK, May 1.-The Tribune's WASH
ington special says: Harold has made
voluminous confession.
1t has been ascertained that JEFF. Davis
and party have not more than 100000 in
specie with them. ,-- ..e--....-
Gen. Grant is reported to have said that
when he informed Gen. Sherman of the
disapproval of the terms he had forwarded
to Washington, the latter frankly admitted
that he had made mistake in not having
it put in writing that slavery was dead; but
that was the understanding between them.
AS to permitting the rebel Legislatures to
assemble, he agreed to that, because he had
just learned that the Virginia Legislature
was permitted to assemble by authority of
the President, and in the absence Of official
instructions he interpreted the Presidents
desire to be that rebel civil Governments
should be retained for the preservation of
order and to avoid maintaining u military
force in these States, as well as to do away
with the irritation likely to grow out of
military Government. AS to the amnesty,
it was only to cover slavery and soldiers
When his attention was called to the word
ing he replied with much spirit, 'That does
not express the understanding between u.s."

To the Creditors mud StOcl<h Olders I0f
the Central Ohio Railroad Company.
The Trustees who purchased the proper
ty and franchises of the Central Ohio Rail-
road Company on the 2Sth of March last
under the decree of the U. s. Circuit Court
at Cincinnati, on behalf of the parties to the
agreement for the adjustment and capitali-
zation OF the debts and stock of the Com
pany, have determined to extend the time al
lowed to creditors and stockholders to SUBJ
scribe the agreement, until the confirmation
of the sale. The agreement provides that
all interest warrants on the 4th Mortgage
and Income Bonds, and all accrued interest
on judgments, notes and accounts shall be
relinquished, and the principal of these
several classes sofindebtedness, and the stock,
to be converted into stock in the new organ
ization, as follows:
FOURTH MORTGAGE BONDS.
Common stock at par, or preferred stock
at eighty cents on the dollar.
INCOME BONDS.
Common stock at eighty, or preferred
stock atsixty cents on the dollar.
FLOATING DEBT.
Common stock at sixty cents on the dol
lar.
Common stock at forty cents on the dol
lar. .-
The total amount of stock and indebted
ness of the new company will be only about
$5,0O0,000, on which basis it is confidently
believed it will soon become regular divi-
dend-paying company.
The opportunity, therefore, afforded the
remaining few, who from want of informa-
ton of the agreement, or from apprehen-
sions of its ultimate success, have not SUBJ
scribed it, to avail themselves of the bene-
fits secured by it, is necessarily limited to
the confirmation of the sale. The alterna-
tive presented to them is, the reduction of
unprOductive securities to paying basis,
or the abandonment and loss of them alto
gether. Those who wish to escape such
loss may address William Wing, Esq, Sec
retary Of the Company, at GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
or the undersigned, at Columbus, Ohio, in
closing at the same time their securities.

OPERA HoUsE.-The new dramatic season,
under the management of Messrs. Kent 6,
Weaver, was opened before fair and appre-
clative audience last night. George Cole
mans delightful comedy of 'The Heir at
Law" was handsomely presented, and some
of the more comic scenes rendered with
a skill rarely equaled, Miss Mollie Will
liams and Mr.. Felix Vincent who repre-
sented respectively the characters of Cicely,
and Ezekiel Homespun, provoked no little
mirth as well as applause by the aptitude
and grace of their comic renderings. Lord
DuberlY had good representative in Mr..
H. A. Weaver, as did his son, the Right
Honorable Richard Dowlas, alias Dick, in
our old favorite, Mr.. F. L. Kent. We were
also much pleased with the style and man
ner in which Mr.. H. Davis personated the
pedantic DR.. Pangloss, IL. d. and A. S. S.
In fine, all the personages in the play had
very good justice done them.
.,To-night,rthe very pleasant drama of
''Satan in Paris, will be produced miss
Williams appearing in eight different char
acters, and Mr.. Vincent representing Count
Vanille. The afterpiece will be "The OBJ
jeot ofInterestp--a most amusing farce--in
which Miss Williams and Mr.. Vincent will
represent the leading comic characters.
We think theal lovers of good comic and
dramatic representations may safely count
upon the present Opera House Company to
give many choice entertainment during
their stay in our city. c,l,,., r-.....
