NEGROES ON THE TRAMP.-A gentleman
writing from North Alabama, draws the fol
lowing picture of affairs: "Our negro popu'
Iation is in fix, and pretty considerable
one at that, the men, for the most part, roam
ing about in the exercise of their. new found
liberty, doing but little and that little bad.
They have no supplies, and how they are to
live nntil green corn and blackberry time
next year, God only knows. thousand UNI
questionably will and must die Of starvation.
Their old masters cribs and smoke houses
are either empty or closed against them"

The New U. s. SEN4ToR.-A Sacramento
correspondent of tho Territorial Enterprise
| is soreIy erieyed over the election Of Corne
lius Cole to the U. 8. Senate. lie says
Now. don't say Cole has sold out to the
Short Hairs, but I beIieye Ae bas. believe
it from this fact, that he entered the cam
paign without auy other record than the fact
that be had served one term ip Congress-
This term he owes entirely to Sargent, who
procured bis powihatiop after Sargent had
been defeated for Governor in 1853, and
Sargent secured this nomination as the only
triumph of The Long Hairs in that cam.
paign. Cole made as good record in Cou'
gress as he was capable OF. Everybody
knows that be is no speaker at all; he draft
ed the China Mail bill and got it passed.
Cole was an early Republican, and has main
tanned his character for honesty until now,
unless he has surrendered to Governor Low
and Barney MulIigsn to be made Senator
Barney clams him as bis own. Adjt'Gen
eral State Senator Evans lthe man without
any brains) claims him. I'm afraid they've
got bin. I'm afraid OF it fyom this fact,
that Cole has succeeded in attaining posi-
ton to which his abilities do not entitle him.
That end The fact that the trough" Short
Hairs claim him and are going around our
streets making bad Wusic, lead me to think
so. That's all.

GROWING RoH.-Nothing is more easy
than to grow rich. Il is only to trust no,

as sure as disease, disappointment, and a

Governor BRA mleife ON Slavery In
AemlmcIcw

CINCINNATI, April 25.-Gen Brisbin. gu
perintendento of the organization of colored
troops in Kentucky has written letter to
Gov. Bramlette calling attention to the dis
turbed condition of labor in that State, and
urging him to call the Legislature to pass
the constitutional amendment. The General
says: The slaves are nominally free. Mas
ters can no longer depend on their labor.
lie points out the evils that must arise from
the present half slave and half free condi-
ton OF the State, and claims that the pass
age OF the amendment would quiet the
MINDS OF the negroes, cause them to remain
at home and till the soil, now SO much in
need of their labor. More than twenty
thousand of the most valuable slaves have
already gone into the army; that Kentucky
must choose either to have her slave popu-
lation absorbed and freed by the army, or
to save her labor to the soil by granting un-
conditional freedom to the slaves at home.
The Governor replies, concurring in the
opinion that slavery can no longer be
retained in Kentucky; that labor must
be reorganized on free basis, and
says the war has eXterminated slavery
and revolutionized the public mind in
regard to it. Slavery being ended in the
rebellious States, the Governor thinks it
should be ended in Kentucky by most di-
rect and speedy means. He recommends
the passage of the Constitutional amend
ment as the most practical method thinks
its adoption may save the State from dirth
of industry and suspension of production;
calls to mind the patriotism of Kentuckians,
and says they were always for the Union,
with or without slavery.

sheridan's Chase after Early.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Richmond
Whig OF. the oath has the following: Cen
eral Sheridan routed Early at Waynesboro
about the middle of March, and put him in
dividually upon the most tremendous race,
which concluded by bringing up in Rich
mond, attended by one Of his staff, minus
coat, hat and almost everything. When
Sheridan's column had swept by Richmoud
Early was ordered back to Staunton, and
was there at the time of the evacuation OF
this city. Upon hearing of this event he
hastened to oLynchburg and thence towards
southwestern Virginia, where, ranking Gem
eral Echols, he took command of the forces
that were retreating before Stoneman and
Thomas. 1.7fi tsasss sY
When last heard from, being unable to
Withstand the forces in hisfront and afraid OF
Gen. Grant in his rear, he had detected to
the rightand was apparently making for the
Kanawha Valley. 1t is doubtful whether
he has yet become aware of the surrender
of Lee. We look with interest for tidings
from him and his command. IN

Rebel News from the soutI,west.

CHATTANOOGA, April 2l--The Chattanoo-
ga Gazette has rebel news from Wilson up
to the 2Oth inst. West Point, Columbus,
Griffin, and, it is believed, Macon, fell into
our hands. The rebel Gen. TYLER was killed
and l42 men captured at West Point. Two
bridges, the depot and all the rolling stock
of the West Pointand Montgomery railroad
were destroyed at the former place. One
thousand rebels were captured in Columbus
and paroled. Gov. Brown, of Georgia. has
called out all the militia between the ages
OF sixteen and sixty. On the 10Th inst, a
body of raiders were on the West Point and
Atlanta railroad, forty-three miles south of
Atlanta. Wilson appeared to be heading
to the westward, probably Savannah. Rebel
papers give no dates. Atlanta papers know
of the assassination of President Lincoln,
but make no comment. They deny the sur
render of Lees army, and say he was all
right on the 10th inst- and that Grant lost
5000 men in the battle at Amelia Court
House,

The Conference Between Sherman
and .BOhnntOn-UniOn Sentiment
i'm NOrtl, CarOlina-GOv. Vance
NOT Captured.
New YORK, April 25.-The Worlds
Washington special says advices received
here to-day direct from Raleigh, state that
the conference between Sherman and john
ston took place at Chapel Hill, some fifteen
miles west of Raleigh. Johnston's army,
composed of abQuG 10000 men, including
Hampton's and Wheeler's cavalry, lay 30
miles from the city, on the road running to
Charlotte. On the second interview Breck-
inridge, the rebel Secretary of War, was
present, and participated in drawing up the
already published memoranda of terms of
capitulation. During the conversation he
freely admitted the failure of the rebellion
and declared that peace was almost at hand,
and, in alluding to the Constitutional
amendment, said it was strictly the legal
way OF abolishing slavery, and he predict
ed its ratification by more than two-thirds
of the States.
1t was understood that during this con-
ference, which lasted two days, jeff. Davis
was at Hillsboro, and in telegraphic COM
munication with Breckinridge at john
ston's headquarters. The mass of the rebel
army, with the exception of now and then
some officer, were anxious for peace and de-
sired to go home.
Throughout North Carolina there have
been most earnest exhibitions of loyalty.
When our forces entered Raleigh the pa
pers there, the Standard, edited by Holden,
and the Progress, were found to have been
such strong Union sheets for some time
past that their publication was in no wise
interfered with. They continued with their
regular issues. No public or private prop
erty was molested by our troops, and the
citizens, including large numbers of ladies,
appeared as usual on the streets. Business
was not even suspended.
The news of the Presidents assassination
reached Raleigh last Wednesday. That night
q very large meeting of citizens was held,
at which resolutions were passed denounc-
ing the deed and expressing sympathy tor
the nation and the people. The size Of the
meeting surprised the army, who stood
aloof from it.
Gov. Vance skedaddled before our troops
entered the place. The report of his cap
ture is therefore untrue.
When this intelligence left Raleigh twas
the opinion in the army that the terms of
Johnston's surrender were unconditional
submission. Among Generals OF high rank
no others were known or even limited at.

Decision by the Attorney General
on the Terms of Lees CapituIa-

PHILADELPHIA, April PA special dis
patch to the Bulletin from Washington to-
day says Attorney General Speed has made
highly important decision on the terms
of the capitulation of Lee. In reply to
letter of the Secretary of War relating to
these points, he decides: ....
First That the rebel officers who surren-
dered to Gen. Grant have no homes in loyal
States, and have no right to come to places
where their homes were in the loyal States
prior to going into the rebellion.
Second, That persons in the civil service
of the rebellion, or who have otherwise
given it support, comfort and aid, and were
residents of rebel territory, have no right
to return to Washington under that stipu-
lation. ..0.- .}
Third, That rebel officers certainly have
no right to be wearing their uniform in
any of the loyal States.
The Attorney General adds, that such
rebel officers having done wrong in COM
ing into the loyal States, are but adding in
suit to injury in wearing their uniforms;
that they have as much right to bear the
traitors flag through streets of loyal city
as to wear the traitors garb, and that the
stipulation of surrender permits no such
things, and the wearing of such uniform is
an act of hostility against the Government.

THE LATE TRAGEDY.
BY e. f. W.

Harkl Methinks hear tolling bell!
All. no, it cannot be, for only yesterday
A nations shouts rent the air
With joy and gladness, that all is WELL"
All, what means that noble flag,
Which only yesterday foated proudly
In the air. and peace and joy dwelt everywhere,
While sorrow now seems to prevail in the yer, airl
All. what has turned this joy to sorrow?
And every countenance seems stamped with horror
It's for one whom every true patriot loves so WE'LL
Who by an "assassin's" hand hath fell.
Yes, by an assassin's hand he fell,
Amid the gay and those he loved
The hand did strike that cruel blow,
Which has caused widows tears To flow.
And We would her sorrow gladly share
Have saved her from the cruel blow;
But He that rules above us ALL
Knows what is best for US below.
