THE NEW MILITARY MOVEMENT—
ONWARD TO MEXICO
WASHINGTON 1 NOWS.
A New York Herald Correspondent lias
an Interview with Gen. Hardee.
This morning General Hardee’s party left
Raleigh at five o’clock and reached Durham’s
at half-past seven. By invitatiou they break
fasted with Geu. Kilpatrick, after which they
Continued on to Greensboio. I accompanied
the party from Durham's. Gen. Hardee re
ceived me in a very cordial, generous, unre
served manner. He and I talked freely on
all subjects of interest at the present time.—
In speaking of the war he made this remark
able assertion: 1 'Sir, I Accept this war us the
providence of God. He intended that the
slave should be free, and now he is free.—
Slavery was never a paying institution. I
have often told my friends so. For instance,
my wile owned about one hundred negroes;
forty ot tbs hundred were useless for work,
yet she had to feed these forty, in order to
get the work of the other sixty. The negro
will be worse off for this was. Will any of
your abolitioni-ts of the North feed and
clothe half a dozen little children, in order
to g.-t the w f ork of a man and woman ? Sir.
our people can pay the working negroes a
fair compensation for their services, aud let
them take care of their own families, and
theu have as much left at the end of the year
as we had under the old system.’’
“Colonel, do you think we will soon have
real peace ?”
“I do. I think the people of the the
South are anxious for it. They wanted it
two years ago. I then saw T that our cause
could not succeed.”
“Will we not have guerrilla warfare ?’’
“So help me God, sir, if we do I am wil
ling and ready to fight to put an end
to it ?”
‘ls the same spirit entertained by the
other General officers who have been in the
Confederate service ?”
“It is. I have not the slightest doubt but
they will use every means they can com
mand to bring quietness and security again
in the laud. They will in no wise support
those who do not obey the laws.*' •
“How will it be in South Carolina ?”
“South Carolina is the worst whipped
State in the Union ” . %
“But will not her leading spirits control
the masses ?"
“They, too, are crushed. She has no
leading spirits now. Let me impress it upon
you that the people of the South want to
live in peace with the people of the North,
and you will find they vrtll do it. They will
do It cheerfully, provided your government
does not resort to measures. If it does
resort to such measures, I eannpt answer for
the consequences. We staked our all on the
success of our arms, and they failed us, and
now we are willing to return to and live
under the laws of the United States as we
find them, although they may not be as we
would desire to have them.”
“Your officers have no money. What are
they going to do ?”
“They must go to work. The prospect, be
fore tbmn is most gloomy indeed. It will be
very hard on old men like me. I cannot now
commence a profession.”
“Do you think Jeff. Davis was pleased at
the assassination of President Lincolu
“I do not think he was. The people of the
South do not like Andy Johnson. How cad
they, compared to Mr. Lincoln ? Lincoln had
been in office four years, and knew who he
could trust. He had also learned to govern.
He had made a name. He could have done
many thiugs for the South that Johnson can
not. Ido not believe that Lincoln was a
party man—that is, that lie was particularly I
so. Johnson is a party man. He is now, I
and the tear is he will be radical. I hope he
will not, for the good of the [country and the
welfare of the people.”
“It is said that Jeff. Davis went off with
several millions in specie. Is it so ?”
“I cannot particularly say whether it is or
not. I know that General Johnston asked
Mr. Qpvis to order some of tfic troops to be
paid off in gold, and he replied that he had
no control over the money. He said that the
most of it had been taken from the Virginia
banks, and that when these were again able
to receive it he would see that it was pro-
perly returned.”
“Do you think that if Mr. Davis takes the
money out of the Confederacy that he will
return it to the banks ?”
“I think lie will.”
“Is there much cotton in the South, Gen
eral ? ’
Aud *Q ,) y the way, let me sav
°«. P R ress the People of the South
very much ts the government of the United
States confiscates the cotton belonging to nri
h . busincSH cm.
They are the only armies they have to sell
Gwe them a chance to sell their cotton and
Slfrevii t T, Cenb^ k9 in J r °duced and trade
will revive. The cotton which the Confeder
ate government owned I beheve to be the
rigbttul property of the United States and
further, believe that the'people of the South
should lie honest, and turn that property in
to the agents authorized to receive it. One
man told me he had some Confederate cottou
on his plantation, and that he intended to
burn it before the enemy should get posses
sion of it. I told him he wouid be doing very
wrong in committing such an act. On mv
wife a plantation in Alabama I have some
cotton that belonged to the Confederate gov
ernment, aud which I am well guarding, and
will turn it over whenever the United States
agents are ready to receive it.”
At this juncture a special train, with Uni
ted States troops and Generals Schofield, Cox
and Killpatrick on board, arrived close be
hind ours, at a station where the engine was
stopped for wood and water. The second
train had left Raleigh at seven, A. M., and
was also bound for Greensboro. Gen. Har
dee and two other rebel officers repaired to
the car in which the Union generals were sit
ting, whereupon introductions took place and
agreeable conversations ensued.
Conversation with Gen. Jamtou.
A remark was made on the hopelessness of
the South contending against the North with
her vast wealth and unbounded resources,
both in men anJ means. While this war has
depopulated and devasted the South the
North was never so flourishing, nor never
had so large a population.
“True enough; yet we did not fail so much
from the want of men and means as from
mismanagement. Had we your goverineut,
sir, the result might be quite different ” He
thinks the mass of the people will quietly re
turn to their homes and conform to the new
state of things. He was bitter on the mur
der of President Lincoln. “Lincoln, sir," he
said, “was a good man and a conservative
man. H : s death placed iu power a man of
radical principles—a Southern man—a man,
I fear, of strong private prejudices, who will
not try to heal up the wounds of the nation.
The scoundrel Booth was a hot brained man,
full of a kind of tragic desire for immortali
ty. He was no friend of the South. If at
any time such an act could complicate the
federal government it is just now. Even
should the President’s death help our cause
for a season It would be sure to bring a curse
upon it; for never did a cause flourish by
assassination. All good men and true sol
diers deprecate the assassin. I hope he may
be taken alive, in order to come at his ac
complices.”
General Johnston spoke in very flattering
terms of General Sherman’s military abilities;
but was very bitter on Jeff. Davis, in tact
attributing the whole failure to his bungling
administration.

Gen. Johnston was not (orraally paroled.
He simply pledged his verbal parole to Geu.
Sherman.
Gov. Vance Redlvtvus.
Gov. Vance has issued another proclama
tion, which the Raleigh Progress character
izes as sneaking, and hypocritical, command
ing all paroled soldiers to abstain from law
lessness and to avoid assembling together in
crowds. He says that—
Should it become necessary for the protec
tion of citizens, I also appeal to the good and
true soldiers of North Carolina, whether they
have been surrendered and paroled or other
wise, to unite themselves together in suffi
cient numbers in the various counties of the
State, under the superintendence of the civil
magistrates thereof, to arrest or slay any
liodies of lawless and unauthorized meu who
may be committing depredations upon the
persons or property of peaceable citizens, as
suring them that it wili.be no violation of
their parole to do so. And I would assure
my fellow citizens generally that,under God,
I will do all that may be in my power to set
tle the government of the State, to restore
civil authority in her borders, and to further
the great ends of peace, domestic tranquility
and the general welfare ot the people.—
Without their uid I am powerless to do any
thing.
Forwnnl-IKtrch-Por Home,
/ Richmond, Va„ May C, 18G5.
On the 2fith ult., Morgan, Baird and Wol
cott moved to Morristown depot, fifteen miles
from Raleigh, ou the Raleigh and Gaston
Railroad, where the corps was concentrated,
supplies laid in, and all other details made
lor the march.
At 12:50 p. m. on the 30th, Wolcott’s divi
sion, with Hanibrigbt’s brigade in advance,
Droke camp, and moving eastward, struck
Ti,UV r H* o,n ?’ fricnds aud civil life. The
Bfra-ir, briga^e uever travelled faster, the men
striking out upon the smooth level road at
the rate of four miles per hour. The trains
moved along as fast as the troops, and be
fore dark seventeen miles of the journey were
put behind them.
The army pushed forward joyously with
much friendly rivalry in quick marching l>e
tween the Western and Eastern troops.
A good story is told, which is pretty well
authenticated, attheex|>ensc of Gen. Slocum.
He left Raleigh, with Mower’s column (Twen
tieth Corps), on a road to the right of that
upon which Davis was moving. Leaving
Mower near Oxford on the 2d, he announced
that he would go on and make Oxford Court
House that night, and wait for Davis’ column
to arrive up. In due time the General ar
rived, and when about to establish his head
quarters, learned that Davis had encamped
there the night before, and had left early in
the morning, on to Richmond. Just as Wal
cott’s division was crossing the Roanoke, Gen.
Slocum came up to the front aud took the
advance tor some miles. The General laugh
ed heartily at the friendly competition be
tween his two corps for the honor of be'mg
first in Richmond.
Tlte Plot to Burn Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 8, 1805.
Forney’s Press has obtained important in
formation regarding the recent plot to burn
Philadelphia. It discloses the fact that on
the Wednesday night previous to the night
when the city was to be burned, a large
barn, located within fifty yards of the State
Magazine, situated near Point Breeze, was
fired by au incendiary ; but the flames were
fortunately extinguished. The magazine
contains nearly one bunded tons of powder,
part belonging to the United States. The
Legislature had passed a law for its removal
from the magazine, but the new building has
not been elected, and the magazine remains
witbiu two miles of the city without a guard
to protect it.
The News of the Assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln in England.
- The news by the steamship Nova Scotian
of the assassination of President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward was published
throughout England on the 20th ult, and
created a most profound sensation. The
strongest feelings of sympatay, indignation
and horror were universally expressed.—-
There was but one voice throughout the
country, and those who sympathized with
the cause of the South evinced quite as
much indignation as the warmest friends of
the North.
The London Times of the 27th says This
evening it may be expected that the leaders
of the great parties in the House ot Com
mons will take the opportunity of express
ing, in the name of the nation, the horror
which is everywhere felt at crime, and of
assuring the American people, whatever dif
ference of opinion may exist in this coun
try as to the present war, there is but one
teeliug of Sympathy with them at the loss of
au honest and high-minded magttrate.
The London and provincial journals alike
describe the intense excitement which the
news created, and all unite in warm eulo
giums upon Mr. Lincoln, and bitter denun
ciations of the assassinatiou.
The Paris and continental journals contain
a number of articles.
The scene ou ’Change at Liverpool will not
soon be forgotten. The excitement has rarely,
if ever been excelled.
Late in the day a requisition to the Mayor
was drawn up requesting him to call a pub
lic meeting to express the sorrow and indig
nation of the people. Hundreds signed it
aud the Mayor issued the proclamation for a
meeting at St. George's Hall on the afternoon
of the 27th, lo be adjourned to the evening
of the same day, that the working classes
may likewise have an opportunity of attend
ing.
she flags on the Town Hall and other
buildings aud the shipping at Liverpool were
displayed at half-mast.
The Americans resident in London, also
the Union and Emancipation Society, aud
public gatherings at Manchester, Birming
ham, &c., were likewise to meet on the 27th,
to express their sentiments.
The Liverpool Post of the 27th is printed
with its columns in mourning.
The London Times says that nothing in
political history can be remembered ihathas
ever drawn forth a more unanimous teeliug
than this new's. Personally, President Lin -
eoln enjoyed the kind regards of every one
iu England. The extent to which his influ
ence w r as estimated in upholding amicable re
lations between England aud the United
States lias been shown by a fall of unusual
severity In all classes of securities.
The Loudon Times editorially says that the
News will be received throughout Europe
with a sorrow as sincere aud profound as it
awoke in the United States. Mr. Lincoln’s
perfect honesty speedily became apparent,
and Englishmen learned to respect him. It
also says: Unjust as we believe it to be, the
Confederate cause will uot escape the dishon
or cast upon it by these wanton murders.
The London News says that Mr. Lincoln
has not fallen in the flush of triumph, for no
thought of triumph was in that honest and
bumble heart: but his task was accomplish
ed and the battle of his life was won, and in
all time to come, among all who think of
manhood more than rank, the name of Abra
ham Lincoln will be held in reverence and
love. The News theu continues : We will
not, without further aud overivheleming
proof, lay the charge of this horrible con
spiracy to the leaders or abettors of the
Soujh. - -.
The London Star pays a warm tribute to
Mr. Lincoln, and eulogizes his steadfast poli
cy of peace, iu spite of all provocations, to
wards England. It also expresses great
confidence that the North, even in its hour of
just indignation, will bear itself with that
magnanimous clemency which thus far has
attended its triumph.
The London Telegraph says: From vulgar
corrnptiou, from factious hatred, from mean
est jealousy and uncharitableness, this gnat
ruler was wholly free. At last came what
seemed to be the fruition of his labor—the
reward of his patience and courage. He en
tered Richmond as a conqueroor, but he
launched no decree of proscriplion against
the South, for the fight appeared to him to
be over, and.it was not in his large heart to
bear malice against a beaten foe. He spoke
very kindly ot Gen. Lee, says Secretary Stan
ton, and on the same night that he pleaded
for mercy and for peace, a villain killed him.
Not for Lincoln himself can the end be con
sidered as unhappy.
The New Military Movement against
Mexico,
The New York Herald says :
The short sketch of the new Mexican ex
pedition which we published in Sunday's pa
per lias given rise to the utmost excitement
and interest in this city and throughout the
entire country. There can no longer be any
i doubt as to the true character of the move
ment, Ostensibly only an emigration move
ment, it is in reality a grand hostile expedi
tion against Maximilan and the French in
vaders of Mexico. The managers of the ex
pedition have contrived a plan by which they
hope to avoid an open and embarrassing vio
lation of the neutrality laws. Persons offer
ing themselves to go out with the expedition
are informed that they are accepted as mem
bers of a party which is intended to settle in
the region of Sonora, under the authority
and at the special invitation of the constitu
tional government ot Mexico. The prohibi
tion to carry arms out of this country having
been revoked, of course the emigrants intend
to start on their journey fully supplied with
all the necessary weapons ot defence to pro
tect themselves in the strange iand for
which they ure bound, and also on their
way thither. The inducements offered to
common emigants are one thousand dollars
and eight huudred acres of laud in the rich
and fertile regions of Sonora. This liberal
offer has developed the most surprising en
thusiasm, aud has impelled a large number
of adventurous people to volunteer their ser
vices. Only yesterday morning the head
quarters of Col. Allen, corner of Howard and
Crosby streets, were, opened, and yet hun
dreds of people crowded the place the entire
day. The books of enrollment were filled
up in a very short space of time, and among
the names Avere captains, majors, and even
colonels. The bulk of these volunteers are
old soldiers who have become seasoned in the
business of war during the hard and tryin<«-
campaigns of Grant, Sheridan, McClellan”
Gillmore and other military leaders. They
embrace this new military project with a
buoyancy of spirit and hopefulness that indi
cate the highest degree of confidence iu its
speedy and successtul accomplishment.
The expedition assumes to have three ob
jects. The first is a quiet colonization of
Sonora by Americans. Juarez isolated to be
very anxious to have a good company of his
friends in this country a little nearer to him
than they are at present. With this view he
offers them land and authorizes them to set
tle down aud develop the beautiful region of
Sonora under bis autboiity, and also to pro
tect themselves as circumstances may lender
necessary.
The second object is to aid in the overthrow
of Maximilian. The professed intention of
the emigrants is not to commence the offen
sive. They will not strike the first blow.
but if attacked by the French or Mexican
adherents of Maximilian, they will then re
turn blow for blow, and perhaps give more
than they take.
In the third place, it is considered that
Maximilian will not Avait to be kicked out,
but pick up his traps and vamoose the mo
ment he learns that the American emigrants
intend to become such near neighbors. If,
then, Maximilian should make up his mind
to run back to Austria some fine morning,
the next question, of course, would be how
to reorganize the government. It is believed
that tbe church party iu such an event would
make a tremendous efforts to regain its as
cendency. A large army of Americans would
prove an irresistible ally to Juarez or his suc
cessor in such an enfergency.
It is understood that the chief agent of the
Juarez government in this city is General
Ortega, who, it will be remembered, arrived
here not long ago. He is said to be supplied
with funds sufficient for every emergency,
and ihat be has the aid and sympathy of many
of our Avealthy citizens and prominent public
men.
WASHINGTON NEWS.
Important Cabinet Meeting. —There was
a special Cabinet meeting to-day, continuing
over four hours, at which important and con
fidential matters were discussed. The sub
ject of trade and commerce with the insur
rectionary S'ates was under consideration at
the meeting, hut will again be considered at
the regular Cabinet meeting to-morrow, when
it is hoped that matters may be arranged 50
as to throw open the door as widely and as
freely as existing legislation will permit. The
importance of unrestricted commercial inter
course, as an agent of re-construction and
pacification, is fully appreciated by the Pres
ident and Cabinet; aud the only discussion
is as to how this can best be accrftuplished
under the laws of Congress framed for a very
different condition of affairs. The general
financial condition of the Southern States, as
affecting commercial returns, has also been
fully considered in the Cabinet consultations
upon the subject.
It may safely be stated that the country
will be gratified by the promulgation of
much more liberal and satisfactory regulations
in reference to Southern trade than have
heretofore been deemed advantageous or ad
visable.
The Disposition of Rebel Prisoners of
War.
The statements of a general discharge of
rebel prisoners, on the taking of the oath of
allegiance, are premature. Until the issuance
of the order of to-day,directing the discharge
of all who had made application for permis
sion to take the oath previous to the capture
of Richmond, it had only beeu administered
on special order of the Secretary of War in
individual cases. It is true that a large, pro
portion of the prisons now express a desire to
be allowed the same privilege, and it is pro
bable that an arrangement to that end will
soon be made, applicable to all but excep -
tionabie cases.
The first National Bank at Richmond.
Jay Cook & Cos. received to-day an order
for lilty thousand dollars tp the seven-thirties
from the National Bank of Virginia, at Rich
mond. This is the first subscription to the
national loan from the late rebel capital.
President Juarez Issuing Letters of
Marque.
Washington, Monday, May 8.
It has been vaguely reported heretofore,
that President Jaurez, of the Mexican Re
public, has issued letters of marque for the
reprisals against French commerce. This is
now an established fact. I have the author
ity for so stating of a gentleman who saw
four of these documents a month ago, intend
ed for the Pacific waters; and it was stated
at the same time that similar letters for the
Atlantic waters had been issued.
The well known Mexican Gen. Ortega, and
Staff, who has been spending several days in
New York, are expecting to arive here to
morrow.
Mexican affairs are looking up.
Trial of Ex-Congressman Harris.
The court martial to try the charges against
ex Congressman Harris, of Maryland, reas
scmblea in Washington yesterday, when the
accused presented a paper taking exception
to the jurisdiction of the tribunal over his
case, and also to the specifications of the ac
cusation against him. At bis lequcst this pa
per was placed ou file. Further proceedings
in the case were postponed until to-day,
owing to the absence of w itnesses who are
to appear in Mr. Harris’ behalf.

Hereafter, no private buildings, except such as are

The use of bnildings owned by loyal persons subjects
