nrd. The dispatches eominunicitmg the infoi ivih ivih-lion - lion ivih-lion are dated on ths l'Jih. ' Liucohi and Seward wero kilied on the night of tho Mth. It would have taken at least four day to have brought (he news to .Sherman's beadcpiai t.'r : from the unfil unfiling - ing unfiling after the. assassination, which would have brought it up to tho 1-Slli. On Ilia lidh our dii-patch"-- -'.iu:i;r.c:i;g tho umlalieo are dated. It is likely that tho authorities st W'jst-iiiglnii were panic struck upon t ho ns'safs;n:ion of Liaroh; and Seward, and in ttioir fright, with tha news ol the event which they sent inimediutely to the orrnies they directed them if possible to procure a cessation of hostilities, in the expectation that a revolution had been inaugurated m j u CuLlce1 ytotes and thnt they might be compelled to with withdraw - draw withdraw their armies from the fc?onth to sustain Ibeii own government. Wedo not believe as the extra niioffieislly stater, that tbo armistico was the result of two great vic victories - tories victories achieved by Leo. Weliavu ihr.il't llu.t ths fight nt Petersburg was very disastrous to the enemy. Tlioir loss must have been immense, and is estimated ly dm. Leo, who is seldom mistaken, at forty to sixty tlio'Kiuici. But it is certain that in.that hattlo thev broke our lines and compelled us to evacuate Richmond. We doubt whether Lee bad & subsequent lisht with them. Ttiat he surrendered with a small portion of his men to save tho balaneo of Lis army we have just as lit little - tle little doubt. It is not worth while to deceive our ourselves. - selves. ourselves. Let us keep our eyes open. The junc junction - tion junction of tho greater portion" of Leo's arifiy with that of Joe Johnston makes Johnson formidable. Tho death of Liaeoln and f-'ewar-l has produced v panio among the United .States authot iiics nod induced them to ask for a cissatnn of hostilities. This pause may i.lhnv tho tempers of men to cool and perhaps pesult in a trea'y of peace. We may now hope for the best. We think that the suu o'f ouriudependenco will soon appear.
