A Letter frea 0ens sAesn.aa IL " q
Jshnssen.
Id. Qrs. Mil. Div. Of the Miss.,l
In the Field, Raleigh, April 81. :
Gen. ]. E. Johnston, commanding Con
fedente Army:
GEEERAL / send you letter for Gen
Wilson, which If sent By telegraph aod
courier. will check his career. He may
missrust telegraph; therefore bettsr sssd
the original, for he cannos mistake my
hand writing, with which he il familiar,
He seems to have his blood up and will
be hard to hold. If he can buy corn OF
fodder and rations down about Fort VAL
ley, it will obviate the necessity of his
going up to Rome or Dalton.
II is reported to me from Cairo that
Mobile is in our possession, but it is not
minute nor official.
Gen. Baker sent in to mo wanting TO
surrender his command, on the theory
that the whole Confederate army was sur
rendered. / explained to him or bis staff
officer, the exact truth and left him to act
as be thought proper. He seems to have
disbanded his men, deposited few arms
about twenty miles from here aud himself
awaits your action. will not hold him
bis men or arms subject to any condition
other than the final one we may agree
on.
shall look for Major Hitchcock back
from Washington on Wednesday. and
shall promptly notify you Of the result.
b. the action of Gen. Weitsel in relation
to the Virginia Legislature, l feel certain
we viii have no trouble on the score Of
recognizing existing State Governments.
It may be the lawyers will want US to de.
fine more infinitely what is meant BY the
guarantee Of rights of persons and pro-
perry. 1t may be construed into a com-
psc, for US to undo the past as to the
rights of slaves. and leases of plantations
on the Mississippi, of "vacant aud aban-
neutrality-suspicious.. / wish you TO talk to
the best men you have on these points and
if possible, let US have our 6nal conven-
ton make these points SO clear as to leave
no room for angry controversy.
| believe that if the South would sim
ply and publicly declare what We all feel
that slavery is dead; that you would in
augurate an era of peace and prosperity
that would soon efface the ravsges of the
past four years war. Negroes would re-
main in the South and afford you abun-
dance of cheap labor, which otherwise
will be driven away; aud it will save the
country the senseless discussions which
have kept US all in hot water for fifty
years.
Although strictly speaking. this is no
subject Of military convention. yet am
honestly convinced that our simple dec
laration of result will be accepted as
good Law everywhere. OF course, have
not single word from Washington on
this or any other point Of our agreement
by know the effect of such q step by US
will be universally accepted.
l am. with great respect your obedient
servant, w. 7. SHERMAN,
Maj. Gen. U. s. A.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF THE TREASURY
Over 100000 WORTH OF BONDS STO-
LLN-THE ROBBERY COMMITTED. OVEt
A YEAR SINCE-THE ARREST OF THE
PARTY-HE CONFESSES THE CRIME.
On Saturday last Detective Clarvoe, OF this city
proceeded 10 New York in search Of Mr.. Wal
lace w. Whittlesey, formerly clerk in the loan
branch of the Treasury Department, under Mr..
Marsh, who he had reason to believe had abstract
ed frIm the Loan Office in the Treasury Depart
ment. on or about June 8, 1864, one hundred Five
tw, nty bonds OF 1900 each.
On Monday the detectives met Wbittlesey on
Courtlandt street, near the Western Hotel New
York. arrested i'm aud took him 10 the New York
police headquarters. where Whittiesey confessed
that be had some Of the coupons. The detectives
then proceeded TO his house, on the corner OF
Forty.eghth street and Second avenue, where
they found a large arount of the coupons OF
bonds in the bottom plrt OF chandelier. IL had
been unscrewed, the stolen property placed in,
and then screwed fast again.
Messrs. ClaryOe and McDeyitt arrived here yes
terdsy morning with their prisoner, whom they
now have locked up at police headquarters, and
awaiting an examination. lie tried TO escape from
the cars while en- route 10 this city. The detec.
tives say they can account for the one hundred
bonds.
Whittlesey was appointed from Ohio in 1861, as
registering clerk of certificates of Indebtedness and
had nothing whatever to do with the bonds The
bonds we've prepared in the same room with Whit
tlesey, and placed in safe in that room, TO which
Whittlesey had access, and in which he placed his
surplus of certificates in the evening before leaving
the Office He resigned his position in that depart
ment on the 9th of December, 1864. Mr.. Whittlesey
stood very high while in Washington, and his
wife, beautiful and unassuming lady, moved in
the higher circle.
He IS a grandson of the late Elisha Whittlesey,
who was for number of years the faithful First
Comptroller of the Treasury, and was at one time
engaged in business in ST. Louis, No.

THE PROVISION TRADE.

4 late Cincinnati circular says:
The provision market during the past week has
been in feverish condition, and prices of all ar.

Of prime mess at s25 and under, but took no bacon,
though the awards are supposed to be not fully

November delivery, and ] think there would be

prices have advanced fully - 90 per barrel
since my last, closing with sellers at $50 90,
and buyers at S29 o. for choice city, hnd

from New York OF further advance have fur
