end, and Lieut.. Gen. Grant is expected

Gen. SherAnNn's BluMler.

The most probable theory relative to
the amnesty that Gen. Sherman proposed
to Gen. Johnston and his army, is given
in the following extract from the A,my
and Nary Journal:
Sherman has usually had some reason
for his actions, satisfactory to himself, ON
whatever fallacy it may be founded He
went into the war to restore $ the Union
as it was " as nearly rs possible. lie has
come out of it with the same intent
Here he has committed great and fun
dimental mistake. The country has made
a long stride in opinions and in aspirations
since the opening of the war Shcrman's
project cannot and should not be enter
tanned. 1t is needless to cry out for the
Union as it was, when everybody seeks
what is perfectly attainable-a Union
better than it was-a Union without
slavery, and without the possibility of Sc
cession. President Johnson proposes to
punish the leaders in the rebellion Sher-
man did not. His Georgia letter, con-
tanning his advice to all rebels to 90 home
and put away their guns, and return to
the Union like good citizens, comprises
the form and substance of his doctrine then
and now. Even within the past six
months public opinion has changed, has
advanced wonderfully, with regard to the
terms of restoring the Union As the
certainty of crushing the rebellion has be-
come more obvious, public opinion has al
so become more stern, and a disposition
has been aroused to destroy with the
rebellion the origin and support of any
possible future instructions in the South

The army is to be reduced to two or
three hundred thousand men at once.
These will garrison the cities and impor-
tant central points of the South until the
process Of reconstruction and reconcilia-
lion is fully completed. Most Of these
will be colored troops.

60 Some one well suggests that the
government offer reward for jeff. Davis
as 1t did for Booth, He is the greater
criminal OF the two; and if he has not al
ready escaped the country, the negroes
would catch him in less than week were
suitable reward offered.

As he passed by one of the creviceS in the
barn fired at him. aimed nj his body:
/ did not want to kill him; | took DELHI
crate aim at his shoulder, but my aim
was too high. The ball struck him in the
head, just below the right ear, and pass
ing through, came out about an inch above
the left ear. think he stopped TO pick
up something just as l fired. That may
account for his receiving the ball in the
head. l was not over eight or ten yards
distant from him when l fired l w:,S
afraid that if | did not wound him he
would kill some of our men. After he

floor. | asked him" Where are YOU
wounded ?"
He replied in very feeble voice. his
eyes glarins with a peculiar brilliancy, In

He was then carried out of the burning
building, into the open air, where he died
about two hours and half afterwards.
About an hour before he breathed his last
he PRAYED for us TO shoot him through
the heart and thus end his misery. His
sutierings appeared TO be intense. Booth.
although he could have killed several OF
our party, seemed to be afraid TO fire.
Mine was the ONLY shot fired on either
side When he fell lac had in his hand !;
six-barreled revolver, and AT his feet was
lying seven-Shooter, which he dropncd
when he was wounded. I've other To-
volvcrs were also near him. He declared
that the arms belonged TO him. and that

went in search of doctor, whom Nc

Statement of Corbett, who shot him.

At three o'clock, or little after, the
barn was fired. Before the flames were
kindled Booth had the advantage of us in
respect to light. He could see us, but we
could not see him. But after that the ia
bles were turned against him we could
see him plainly, but could not be seen by
him. The flames appeared to confuse
him, and he made a spring toward the
door as if to attempt to force his way out.

The Raleigh Conservative Of Friday says that IL is
understood that Goldsboro is in the possession Of
the enemy aud that Sherman and SchoHeld have
formed junction. "Whether the enemy cohtem-
plate an advance on this city or movement nortf :
ward by the line of the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, on to Virginia, we are not prepared to-
say but the general opinion appears to be that he
will move westwardly by this city. The force Of
Gen. Johnston has been largely augmented, and
heavy achievements are still looked for. The
large numbers of the enemy may enable him to keep
up his propensity to flank rather than meet our
forces in 'front.' but the depicting operation which
Gen. Johnston has performed upon hisranks within
the last week, will soon bring him to grief"
Tho Confederate remarks that "within two weeks
Sherman has lost about ten thousand men. In the
meantime Gen. Johnston's force is growing larger. >
His family increase is almost miraculous. His pro-
geny from day to day is by Regiments, Brigades,
and Divisions. We wouldn't be surprised if by the
time Sherman adds IS 900 to Grant that Johnston
will multiply Lee by hundred thousand"

snERMAN,S DEFEAT.
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN VASE

HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IL WASHINGTON,
WAsuINoTox, March 23.-We- have had rumors
all the evening to the effect that battle had been
fought in North Carolina; that General Sherman
had made his appearance before tue deiences of
Raleigh, and had demanded the surrender Of the
city.
These rumors have doubt less grown out of the
rebel reports of a9 engagement al Bentonyille on
Sunday last. II is not Improbable that battle be-
tween Johnston and Sherman occurred near Ben
tonyille on Midday last. Ii successful Sherman
doubtless marched directly upon Raleigh.
WAsHINGfbS, March 23-ll P. M.-The report Of
Johnston to Lee, that he had met the enemy at
Bentonyille and routed him, Is regarded here
erring to the cavalry bankers of the extreme left
wing OF General Shermans army. 1t is surmised
that General Sherman may have sent a small
force in that direction Tor tie purPose Of cutting
the railroad connection between Goldseoro and
Raleigh, and drawing Johnston away from Colds
b 10 while il was being occupied by the main body
of SherInahs army Authentic Information has
been received that the occupation OF Godsboro
was effected on the same day OF the reported battle
az Rcntonrille, Johnstons despatch states that the
Union tire ops subsequently, assumed the offensive,
thus admitting that his success only temporary
and unimpottant.
Rumors of Q movement of the army of the Po'
tomac in circ ulstion to. night, but without
foundation. General Sherman does not require an
a ,tive movement on the part of General Grant TO
enable him to complete his grand march, in spite
of all the rebel forces lee caa combine against
him.
The military itpatiok Is entirely satisfactory te
the military authorities here, and only foreshadows
tho unavoidable denOuement-the cornering and
ulti mate capture Of the whole of Lees army at
some point between Richmond aud the Carolina
line
