of their influence and opportunities. If
they arouse the nobler sentiments of
mankind, they do we'll # they make
impressive eyent5 tha occasion for ap-
peaIins TO the dire passions of humanity,
they use them to brutalize and dehase.
The heart must be lightly touched by
the national affection: which can find re-
lief in thoughts of terrible satisfaction
on the murderer and they must be lack
ing in moral sense who can use such an
occasion to appeal to popular vengeance

appIause OF the excited assembly. drive
passion to the top of their bent
: We expect the American people TO do
their duty in the settlement of this war,
and to, provide indemnity for the past
and security for the future. But the
worst evidence of the capacity for this
would be the reaction between the e5-
treme of moral and political weakness,
DIT one moment. which would throw away
the lesson Of the past with allits terrible
cost, and would surrender all security for
the future, and at another moment the
extreme of bloody vengeance, which cries
havoc. The way Of either of these ex
tfenes is by reaction from the other. il
Win require more substantial stuff than
either to settle the affairs Of this insur
rection.

Furaher About the Conference He
tween Sherman and Johnston



New YORK, April 26-A special to the
New York Times from Washington oath
saws: I'VE have information from Sher'
mans army of an important character
1t appears that Johns6n's first letter to
General Sherman proposed surrender
of his army OH the same principles that
Lee surrendered. A meeting was AZ
ranged at which Wade Hampton was
present. He protested against the terms
of surrender and declared he would not
surrender his cavalry force, supposed to
be only about 5000 strong. Therefore
Sherman consented to delay for the pur-
pose of giving Johnston and Hampton an
opportunity to consult Davis Another
meeting was arranged for the next day.
On that day the parties again met, and at
first sitting the remarkable memoran-
dunn or basis of agreement was present
ed and at once signed.
The Worlds Raleigh correspondent of
the 10Th says: The conferences between
Sherman and Johnson have come to a
conclusion, which is believed in the ar
nv to be eminently satisfactory. What
passed at the interviews they had is pro-
badly known only to themselves When
they met they locked arms, walked to-
gether into the house where the confer
ences took place. and there shut them
selves up for several hours, leaving their
respective followers and staff officers to
fraternize and get along as best they
could. No one who accompanied Gen.
eral Sherman has any idea of what sub
iects were discussed, or what terms were
proposed, accepted or declined. General
Sherman is never a communicative man
with respect to matters of Importance,
and on this occasion he is even more re-
tcent than usual.
The Herald's Washington special says
there is news in Richmond to the effect
that General Johnson, while negotiating
terms with General Sherman, marched
off most of his troops toward South Car
olina.

President of the United States Abraham
Lincoln, was assassinated by one who
uttered the State motto of Virginia. At

fate.
Thus it seems that our enemy, despair

gins to resort to the assassins tools
Your General does not wish you to infer
that this is universal, for he knows that
the great mass of the Confederate army
would scorn to sanction such acts, but he
believes it the legitimate consequence OF
rebellion against rightful authority. We
