ferring to an interview with the Rebel Com
missioners at Richmond says. The FIRST con-
ference lasted but short time and was ad-
journed to the flag ship Nnlvers. The result
of the conference cannot be made public at

gagged in the business of peace; that yester-
day evening he had private conferenence
with Judge Campbell, who with the advice
aud consent of JEFF Davis, remained behind
to see what could be- done in behalf of his
desponding associates. It is also understood
that Wednesday is fixed for another interview,
at which Weitzel and others on our side,
and prominent rebel leaders on their side,
were to be present.
The Times Richmond correspondent says ::

amount to teas of millions of dollars. i is
confidently asserted that Breckenridge gave
the order to start the Ere. Mail communica-
tions with City Point was to be established at
once. The city is perfectly quiet and the
conduct of our troops is admirable.
The Tribunes Richmond correspondent
says: When Davis received Lees dispatch
in church, he rose much agitated and lettssthe
church. All eyes were conferred upon him,
and when the services were concluded the
minister was handed q note and he too has

There are seven distinct lines offortifca-
tions surrounding Richmond, protected by a
new style of a most formidable kind. This
consists Of sharp edged sticks projecting like
spokes from hub, SO close that they cannot
be crawed through.
Among the first to seek an interview with
the president was Judge Campbell, of Ala
He was with him for half hour, and again

PURSUIT OF LEES ARMY AFTER TIE CAPTURE OF
RICHMOND.
The Herald's correspondents account Of
the pursuit OF Lees army says: The Tween
ty fourth Corps reached near Black and
White Station, on the Southside Railroad, on
the morning of the 9Th, with Gems. Grant
and Ord ;the Fifth Corps and the cavalry
pushed on the Jettysyille, on the .Danville |
and arrived without any fighting.
The Second and Ninth Corps were following
closely in the rear, and by the night of the |
9TH they were all upon the Danville road, and
The Twenty fourth was up to Burkesvlle |
Junction.
1t appears that Lee ordered that portion of
lis army which was cut of, by Ord piercing
MS line Sunday, to join him at Amelia G. H.. |
earring to leave them to attempt to reach I
3urkesylle Junction and go on to Danyille /
When Grant reached Nottaway c. H., staff /
officers arrived, stating that Sheridan had
the enemy in small force at Jet
ysville, driving him and making important
.aptures.
Our column had intended going into camp,
tut Grant cought Lees only hope, which was
II forced marches, and SO, therefore, ordered
he advance to be continued.
The men who were already transported, on
'eing informed of the stirring news from
sheridan, clamored to march all night, and
tarted off with cheers. Wherever Grant was
as he rode along the line, the de-
light of the soldiers was expressed in the
most enthusiastic manner. AS one division
itself in cheering, another would
axe it up, and SO it went along the whole
olumns Soon another dispatch was received i
rom Sheridan, and its contents were such as
0 cause Grant to leave the road aud cut
cross the country to Sheridan's headquar-
ssS. On the night of the 9Th, the army lay
D line of battle across three or four miles of
onntry and facing Jettysvilte. Custar's di-
isiou of cavalry lay on the right flank, and
TcKenzie's on the left. The infantry were
,rmed with the sixth corps on the right, the
fth corps in the centre and the second on
le left. During the night Lee moved off
lany of his trains, and it was supposed he
ould attack the column Ord was to march
the morning towards hynchburg and cat
e his retreat to any point south ofthat.
wHERE He WAS.
