A great deal of curiosity and interest have been felt since the surrender of the Army of Northern Vi; ginia to know what would become of Mosby, and a dozen conflicting rumors have been ip circulation concerning hiin. At one time he was said to be hoveiing arouud Richmond for piedatory purposes at another he was reported to have crossed to' the south of James river' at Colombia, en route with his command for the Ttans-Mississippi. These stories were, Trow-ever, soon refuted by authentic- intelligence that the sul ject of them had been engaged in an unsuccessful skirmish with a portion-of the United States cavalry, fifteen or twenty mile, south of Alexandria, and had been forced to seek safety by scattering his forces in the Blue ltidge From the date of this skirmish which occurred about the 12th instant, until last Monday week, osby-and his men were lost sight.of by the public, and many believed that the partizan chief had disbanded his forces. But now it appears that he has acted in a wiser and more regular Advices f. om Winchester of the 18th instant, state that at 12 o'clock, on the 17th he surrendered his forces to Gen.

Chapman, at Berryville, a Lieutenant Colonel of his ctmmand having come into Winchester on the day before and arranged with Gen. Hancock the terms of the surrender, which are similar to. those accorded to Gen. Lee's army. It is understood that General Rosser has r.sk that-his commanj be also included in the cartel.

The exact number of men in Mosby's command is supposed -to be about seven hundred, many of whom are Mary landers. During the past two years he. has heen prohibited by the rebel conscript act from enlisting men liable to conscription. Rosser's force must be very small, in- deed a mere handful. At the time Sheridans's last advance onStaunton, Hoss er was scouting down the Valley with only one hundred men, at least half pf whom were lost by collision with Sh-i dau'a advancing column.

It was believed that the Union not he able, on account of the condition of the roads. to resume active operations before the first of April, and acting on this delusion, Ross er division were temporarily ishanded to ref to their homes in search of fresh horses, clothing.

Com. Arniy of U. S- in North Carolina. J. E.

Johnston, General, Com. C. S. Army in North Carolina. It is reported that this proceeding of General Sherman was disapproved for the following reasons: First It was an exercise of authority not vested in General Sherman, and on its face shows that both he and Johnston knew that General Sherman had no au thority to enter into aijy such Second It was an acknowledgment of the rebel government.

Third It is understood to re-establish rebel State government that had been overthrown at the sacrifice of many-thou sand lives and immense treasure, and placed arms and munitions of war in the hands of rebels at their; respective capi tals, which might be used as oon as the armies of the United States are disbanded and used to conquer and subdue loyal States. Fourth By the restoration of the rebel authority in their respective States they would be enabled to re-establish slavery. Fifth It might furnish aground of re- sponsibility, by the Federal Government, to pay the rebel debt, and certainly sub jects loyal citizens of rebel States to debts contracted by rebels in the name of the State. Sixth It puts in dispute the existence of loyal State Governments, and the new State of est i- ginia, whicflf had been reconstructed by the departments. of the U.

S. Government. Seventh It practically abolished the confiscation law, and relieved the rebels of every degree, who had slaughtered our people, om all pains and penalties for their crimes. Eighth --It gave terms that had been deliberately repeated and solemnly re jected by President Lincoln, and better terms than the rebels had ever aiJced in tneir most prosperous condition. Ninth It formed no basis of and lasting peace, but re ived the rebels from the presence of our victorious armies, and left them a condition new their effort to overthrow the United States Government, and subdue the loyal States whenever their strength was recruited aud any opportunity should offer.

Wae Department, Washington, April 22, 1365. Major General. Dix, New York Yesterday afternoon' a bearer of des patches arrived here from Gen. Sherman An agreement fr a suspension of hostili ties and a memorandum of what is called "a basis for peae" had been entered iu-to on the lsth inst. by Gen.

'Sherman with the Rebel (general Johnston, the Rebel General Breckinridge being present at the conference. A Cabi et meeting was held at 8 o'clock in the evening, at which the action of General Sherman was disapproved "by the President, by the Secretary of War, by General Grant, and by every member of the Cabinet. General Sherman was ordered to resume host.lities immediately, and he was dir cted that the instructions given by the late President, in the following telegram, which was penned by Mr. Lincoln himself, at the Capitol, on the night of the 3d of March, were ape-proved by President Andrew Johnson! ani were j-eiterated, to govern the actions of military commanders. On the night of the 3d of March, while President Lincoln and his Cabinet' were at the Capitol, a telegram from General Grant was brought to the.

Secretary of War, informing him that General Lee had asked for a conference, to make arrangements for terms of peace. The letter of Gen. Lee was published in a mes sage of Davis to the Rebel Congress. Gen. Grant's telegram was submitted to Mr.

Lincoln, who, after pondering a few momen's, took up his pen, and wrote with his own hand, the following reply, which he submitted to the -Secretary of State and the Secretary of War. It was then dated, addressed and signed by the Secretary of War, and telegraphed to General Grant president Lincoln's instructions. Wa8Hinotov, March 3, 1 2 30, M. Lieut.

The country Thay and dpes rest satis fied that wheu he is done dealing with, (he rebellion, treason will never again lift its hydra head in this fair land. According to the best writers on criminal law, the object to be attained in the', punishment of criminals, is the prevention of crime, and "as the "most efficient means to this end, certainly should be aimed at in punishment. The rebellion just being extinguished is the first-in our history.

Public justice, the sense of the living and the manes of the dead, unite in demanding that" a fitting reward be meted out to its authors and conductors. They should, and we believe will be, punished by the offended laws of their country, administered by the proper constitutional tribunals. TVe owe i public justice, to ourselves, but especially we owe it to those who are to follow us as owners of this. land of ours, to establish a prece- dent at this time, that will teach all who may hereafter meditate treason, tht a just punishment uTill certainly follow its commission. We are not bitter or revengeful.

This was the taught by the agi.ta- to" the people of the South," and it was not until they had succeeded in inducing them with this notion, that they "exposed then ultimate object of establishing a Southern Confederacy, which they had carefully concealed, and in fact, denied. Now we think that an universal amnesty or a passive permission to the Rebel leaders to emigrate, without trial and conviction for treason, in the criminal courts of the countrv would, when taken in connection with the treatment of the Rebel Goveminentas a belligerent power, be a tocit admission of this' heresy, and we think there can be no sufficient' guarantee of perfect tranquility for the future, so long as any party respectable in numbers hold to this belief. If for no other reason than to have this question solemnly adjudicate.
