ALBANY, April 20, 1865
The termination Of the Erie war has been as sudden
its proportions were vast. How little this result
was imagined Oh Saturday evening may be inferred
from the uneasness with which both parties left the
capital to spend the Sunday recess at home All were
afraid Of any mishap to trains or other emergency
which might prevent them from being in
their seats bright and early on Monday
morning. Indeed, great many remained in
the city during the recess, and as many more came
in on the Sunday night trains. For the accommo-
dation Of the New York city members special train
was run over the Harlem road, leaving Twenty-sixth
street of ten O'Clock last night and arriving here
early this morning. This train left OF after
the compromise between Drew and Vanderbilt had
been consummated, and while the majority Of its
passengers innocent Of having been ''sold out"
1t was run in pursuance OF an agreement made with
the New York members when they went down on
Saturday. The secret of the compromise was known
only to q few OF the passengers.
The first known of the cessation Of hostilities
was about nine O'Clock this morning. when Jay
Gould received despatch announcing the fact that
the Vanderbilt party had withdrawn all opposition

The adjournment OF the Legislature Is no longer
indefinite. The members have been sitting several
days without remuneration. The termination Of the
Erie war removes one reason for prolonging the ses-
