The Alabama Claims.

President Johnson, on Monday, trans
mitted message to the House of Rep
resentatives, enclosing letter from
Secretary Seward, in response to Fer
nando Woods resolution, requesting the
President to communicate to the House
If not incompatible with public interest
copies of the letters of instruction to the
Am erican Minister at London, relative
to the settlement ofthe Alabama claims,
and any subsequent correspondence
with him or the British Government
on fhe subject. Secretary Seward re-
plies: I'm his annual Message trans
mitted on the 9th of Decent err, after the
resolution referred to was passed. the
President informed Congress that ne
gotiations on the subject referred to in
the resolution, with some other inter-
national controversies between the
United States and Great Britain, were
pending, and that he was not without
hope of being able to lay before the Sen
ate for its consideration during its pres
ent session protocols calculated to bring
those controversies to an end. The me-
gotiations to which the President thus
referred, have just now been arrested by
the retirement of her Majesty's late
Ministers from administration. There
is re ason, however, to believe that the
interruption will only be temporary
one. Under the circumstances the Sec
rotary of State is of the opinion that the
publication of the correspondence call
ed for at the present moment, would be
premature and Incompatible with the
public interest"

they should clpitulatc on most any
ter ms. His heart was tenderness
throughout, and as 10 as the eae-
my laid down their arms, he did not
care how it was done. After hearing
from Sherman a description of his posi-
ton, he proposed that the same terms
should be offered to Johnston that
would have been given to Lee. TO This
Gen. Sherman strenuousiy objected, de-
claring that he had Johnston cooped
up where he could not get away, and
der ut all hazards, whatever terms we
proposed. / never saw him more ener-
getic in my life than while he was ar
guing the point; but Mr.. Lincoln leaned
toward milder measures fearing that the
Confederate General would escape South
by the railroads and have to be based
again. Sherman declared this to be i'm
possible. 81 have Johrston,V said he,
where he cannot move without break
ing up his army, which, one disband-
ed, can never be got together again.
The Sou .hern railroads are all broken
up. 1 have destroyed them so that they
cannot be used for long time"
Gen. Grant asked What is to pre-
vent their laying the rails again ?''
Why" said Sherman, my bum
mers don't do things by halves. Every
rail has been placed over hot fire and
twisted rs crooked as rams horn. They
never can be used again till they have
been through rolling-mill?
"The President, however, was very
decided about the matter, and insisted
that Johnston should be induced i'm
| mediately TO sure nder bygranting him
most liberal t rms. Grant, too, was anx
iousthat Johnston should not try to get
into Richmond, where he might give us
a great deal of trouble: and Sherman
was compelled to yield, though he did il
very unwillingly. The terms of capitu,
lation which afterwards made such a
disturbance ,Oere in fact substantially
arranged by Mr.. Lincoln himself, and il
he had lived, he never would have al
lowed Sherman to bear the responsible
