Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1865-04-11

Dattlei AhllluR III WHICH MS sufEsuuoE Ut
dissolution of his army will be matter of
necessity.
Through the adroitness of one of Gen.
Sheridsn's scouts, General Bsrringer who
commanded a brigade in Wade Rampton's
cavalry, was captured, along with his staff.
The scout offered to put the General and
bis aids in the way to avoid our troops, but
instead, he brought them within our lines.
The HeraIGs 9th Corps special of the
5th, says that strict orders have been Issued
for the prevention OF house-burning, and
thus far very few have been consigned to
the flames, and none in which the original
occupants were still remaining; neither
is the destruction of other property in
dulged in TO any considerable extent
though e find that the inhabitants are
nearl destitute Of provisions.
The South Side railroad is apparently in
need of very slight repairs to make it avail
able for transportation. Uuless some large
bridge has been destroyed it is more than
probable the road will be in use next week.
The immense trains that are moving un-
der convoy of this corps, are getting over
the ground amazingly well. The roads
are quite smooth and dry.
VIRGINIA TO RETURN TO THE UNION.
The Times Richmond correspondent
says he has had free conversation with
some of the most thorough and radical
Union men in the ecountry-men of wealth
and position, whose faith has never Wa
vered fors:an instant, and who, slsvehold-
ers as they are, demand that Virginia shall
be taken back into the Union under the
emancipation proclamation; that no YES
tige of rebellion shall be tolerated; that
usurpstion, State aud Confederate, which
has wrecked Virginia shall shall not be
recognized in one single respect; that the
State Government must be organized anew
by a Convention of the people as soon as
that can be properly effected and the State
and its inhabitants thoroughly puIged Ui
treason in every shape. Union sentiments
in this strong form exist here, too, and
far greater than has been conceived, not
alone among the poorer classes, but in the
wealthy and influential circlos, where may
be found men who have never lost faith in
the Union. These sre the absolute msjori.
ty of strong men in Richmond.
WASHINGTON, April 10.
GEN. BUTLER ON RECONSTRUCTION.
Among those who delivered speeches TO-
day was Msjor General Butler. His re.
marks were principally directed to the
future disposition by the Government oi
the participants in rebellion. He recon-.
mended that all the leaders be disfrsnchis.
ed and disqualified for holding any Office
under the Government, but that the masses
including negroes-should have the
rights of citizenship. The address was
loudly spplsuded, and at the conclusion
the crowd dispersed
Very little public business was done to
day, and even the courts adjourned.
Within the past two weeks over 10000
rebel prisoners have been sent away from
City Point, and large number still re-
mains there.
DAVIS AT DAGvILLE.
The National Republican says: Parties
have arrived from Dsnville within our
lines, who report that JEFF. Davis arrived
at Danville on Monday last, and that he
was accompanied by two or three members
of his Cabinet. Several hundred persons
gathered before the Executive Mansion
this afternoon at three o'clock.
Frequent calls were made for the Presi-
dent who appeared, merely to say, if the
company had assembled by appointment
some mistake had crept into their under
standing. He had appeared before larger
audiences than this to- day, and he would
repeat what he there said. He supposed
owing to the great good news, there would
be some demonstration; he would prefer
tomorrow evening, when he should b
quite willing, he hoped, and ready to say
something.
He desired to be particular because ev
erything he said got into print. Laugh
ter) And occupying the position which h'
did mistake would produce harm, there
fore he wanted to be careful not to make 6
mistake.
The President was greeted with cheers
and after bidding the crowd good evening
he retired.
