Over 70,000 rebels were surrendered by Johnstf the general-in-chief had proceeded to their designed development. The forces of Stoneman and Canby moved on the 20th, and those of Wilson on The 22nd of March. No formidable army opposed either as checked by the news of the surrender of both the great rebel armies. On the 27th of March, Canby's force arrived before Mobile; it was in three divisions, commanded by A. J. Smith, Gordon Grang and Sheridan were approaching from the North. The troops that escaped from Mobile were between Canby and the cavalry, and if they had tried could have done no better than their fellows. The rebell

decidedly of opinion that he ought to operate by Montgomery and Selma, and connect himself with Canby and Farragut on the Alabama river, thus severing the northern part of Georgia and Alabama, and almost Mississippi, from the rebel confederacy. This view was taken in his letters to General Canby, copies of which were sent to the Adjutant-General's office, and in his opinion I fully concurred, and so wrote both to him and Canby, directing them, however, to make no important movements until they received your instructions. I judge, from a dispatch just received from General Sherman, thatas early as possible. Large requisitions have been received within the last day or two from General Canby's staff-officers for water transportation, and quartermaster, commissary, and medical stores more navigable for our gunboats than the Savannah. 5th.

Lieutenant-General. Second Bulletin. War Department, Washington, April 27, 9.30 A. M. To Major-General Dix: The department has received the following dispatch from Major-General Halleck, commanding the Military Division of the James. Generals Canby and Thomas were instructed some days ago that Sherman's arrangements with Johnston were disapproved by the President, and they were ordered to disregard it, and push the enemy in every direction. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War. General Hhere have information to-day that Jeff Davis's specie is moving south from Goldsboroa, in wagons, as fast as possible. I suggest that orders be telegraphed, through General Thomas, that Wilson obey no orders from Sherman, and notifying him and Canby, and all commanders on the Mississippi, to take measures to intercept the rebel chiefs and their plunder. The specie taken with them is estimated here at from six to thirteen million dollars. H. W. Halleck, Major—General commanding. Genera

Mr. Lincoln declined to submit to so strange a pretension, and would not allow that a simple court, setting up for a legislature, should pass judgment upon the law instead of enforcing it. He prudently waited some time, and consented to lighten the burdens, truly excessive, imposed upon the State of New York; afterward, in the course of the month of August, when Lee had recrossed the Rapidan, he concentrated in the great city nearly twelve thousand men, under the immediate command of General E. R. S. Canby, detached from the Army of the Potomac, and the proceedings, resumed on the 18th under the protection of this formidable force, were concluded without disorder. We have finished with the insurrectionary attempts which characterized the summer of 1863, and come back to military events, and first to those of the same period, which we were obliged to set aside in the preceding volume. While a powerful Confederate army was entering into Pennsylvania, the Southern standard was also

th Smith in his turn crossed. The transports then started, and reached Morganzia on the Mississippi, where all of Banks' forces were mustered for the last time. The laborious and unfortunate Red River campaign was at an end. On the 19th, General Canby, assigned as commander-in-chief of the whole new department of the Trans-Mississippi, had reached Simsport. The authority with which he was invested, and that which his vast experience conferred upon him, were guarantees that henceforth the the next day. This tardy arrival did not permit him to take part in the campaign undertaken by Sherman. The latter was thus at a critical moment deprived of the co-operation of an important part of his old army. Banks, placed henceforth under Canby's orders, returned by water with his troops to New Orleans, where Grant, who did not wish to entrust him with any military operation, let him continue in the exercise of his functions. His vast plans, based on the sale of cotton, were abandoned,
