Hunter and Campbell—The Policy of the Radicals. OUS SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. ‘Wasamarton, April 10, 1965. Distinguished rebels—probably Messrs, Hunter and Campbell—are expected to arrive in this city shortly, on ‘business connected with the restoration of the rebellious States to the privileges of the Union, sm The peers ates i eastery Ya health renders it that any conference to which he is a 'y should be held here; and as there is known to be wide difference of opinion existing between him and the Sumner-Butler radicals as tothe proper terms of such restoration, @ consultation has been decided upon, to take place previous to convening Congress for legislation upon the subject. The adroitly put speech of General Butler to-day in- dicates the radical plan for treating the different classes of rebels in their personal relations, The territory they would consider e@ “conquered,” and require it to be admitted as new States. The policy of the administra- tion having been based thus far upon the !dea that States cannot secede from or otherwise leave the Union, it is now too late in the day to adopt that of the radicals. Senator Hunter, of Virginia, to Visit Rich: ~anens ake ‘Wasumaros, April 10, 1865. Reliable information has been received from a gentle. man, who left Richmond yesterday, that General Shep- po pital Kaneda yy given safe conduc! to Hunter to come and go from that city. He is supposed to be on his ostate in Essex county, miles from Richmond. ‘The only iaformatian received in Washington of Prest- dent Lincoln’s peace proposition to Judge Campbell is ‘that it was of a very liberal character. ‘There were no prayers offered in the Richmond churches on Sunday for the President, and, of course, none for the Southern confederacy. ‘The citizens genorally rogard the war as ovor, and further resistance, therefore, as unwise. A number of gentlemen returned from a visit to Rich- mond to-day. Joona SBIR The President About to Adopt a Concili- atory Course. a {From the National Intelligencer, April 10.) ‘We learn from an authentic source that Judge Camp- bell, of Alabama, formerly of the United States Supreme Coart, and one of the Hampton Roads commissioners of the rebel governmont, called upon the President at Rich- ‘mond, and urged him to tesue a proclamation of @ con- cilistory character, expressing his belief that is would have at this time a most salutary effect. ‘The President, however, was not then prepared for this ftep, and it was quite reasonable to suppose be would decline action upon this subject while Grant was prees- ing upon Lee's retreating forces, ‘The President will now adopt this course, the Inieli- gencer has additional reasons for believing. A Committee of the Virgin Legtela- ture to Apprise Governor Smith of Pre- ident Lincoln’s Terms. {From the Richmond Whig, April 8.) ‘The statement that there would be « meeting las ‘evening of such members of the Virginia Legisigture as still remained in the city was not strictly correct. There was no meeting of tho Legislature or others, but simply ‘an Informal conference and consultation of private in- dividuale—among whom were five or six members of the Legislature, The motive of these gentlemen coming to- gether was to hear from Judgo Campbell the terms upon which President Lincoln had expressed himself as wil- ling that Virginia might return to the Union. Mesera. J. R. Anderson, David J, Burr, Nathaniel P. Tyler and H. W. Thomas wore appointed » committee to inform the Legislature and Governor Smith of President Lincoln's terms, and Judgo Campbell was reqnested to accompany the committee, who were to leave the city as 800n as passports could be procured. Tt was sald to bo probable that they would get off this morning. ‘We prefer not to state our understanding of Mr. Lin- coin’s torms, a6 our information on that head is not ohoia. aii.

The ope- rations of Stoneman upon the railroad between Danville and Greensboro had severed telegraphic commun:cation before General Lee’s surrender. No oxpectation existe that any further trouble will be experienced from that army after the surrender of Lee becomes known. WORK OF THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION “N RICHMOND.

DAHLGREN, Rear Admiral, South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, Travan Orsra, Baooxiyn—Manerzex’s Buvertr.—The complimentary benefit to Mr. Maretzek came off at the Brooklyn Academy last night, on which occasion Bellini’s grand opera J Puritani was given in a manner which elicited continuous applause, and encores of the finer passages of the work almost without limit, Piety and patriotism being the strong points of the reshy dents of Brooklyn, the fact that this is “holy week,” the last of Lent, and that General Lee has surrendered, more or less affected the house as regards numbers, but not at all in enthusiasm ; for both artists and impresario were received in the warmest manner. The optra was very finely sung throughout by Kellogg, Lotti, Bellini and Susini. This evening Mr. Maretzek will accept the graceful compliment from his artists and his friends of a farewell benefit in the New York Academy. We believe the house is filled, or nearly so, in anticipation; and we expect that the welt merited favor to the most conscientious of directors will be such as he desorves from the public. II Poliuto, the third act of La Forza and other attractions are on the programme. That there will be a magnificent house this evening there can be no doubt.

The house was rather slim, owing, we presume, to the weather, but the acting of Mr. Charles appeared to meet with the approval of the audience. Miss Melville ts a vocalist as well as a very sprightly actress, and sang two or three songs, greatly to the delight of thove present, who vociferously applauded her.
