ARRIVAL OF GRANT IN WASHINGTON. ‘Wastisaton, April 13, 1865, ‘Fhe headquarters of the Licutenant General command- Qing the armios of the field have been to-day removed to @wcity. It is understood that they will remain here fae the present. Lieutenant Gencral Grant, ac- @ompanied by Mrs. Grant, General Rawlins and wife, Genserals Ingalls, Williams and Dent; @olonels Parker and Babcock, Captain Bobinett and Lieutenant Dunn, of his staff; Major General Meigs, Quartermaster General; . A. Dana, Assistant Secretary @f War; Colonel Hillyer, of New York, and Colonel Pride and Mr. Barnard, of St. Louis, arrived this morn- fg from City Point, in the despatch steamer Mollie Mar- tim, and took rooms at Willard’s Hotel. Goneral Grant has avoided all public ovations to-day, snd, a5 usual, has been devoting all his time to the pub- Mec service, The moment that he had secured his quar- tere at Willard’s ho started for the War Department, and ‘ma fow moments afterwards an order was telegraphed all over the country stopping the draft. ‘This order will bea great relief throughout,the North, ‘end will save the expendituré”of’ a luge amount of mo- mey in all localities. "Several other measures were , @dopted, which will materially reduce the dally expensos @f the government. General Great has not yet visited Richmond. He la- ered nearly a year to capture it, but now that it isin ‘the possession of his army he has not set his fect in the city. Most genorals would have gone here and had a flourish before returning to Washington. ‘Met vo with General Grant. He saw that by coming im- {mediately to Washington he could secure the adoption of ‘measures which would reduce the expenses of the gov- @pment many millions of dollars, If he had gone to Richmond he would have been detained there at least two days There is no telling how much the mational debt might have been increasod in those two Gaya, which has now been stopped by his fow hours of practical work at the War Department. His services to tbe government in this respect are worth another victory. Ts be estimated that the suspension of the draft, the re- ‘veeation of tho charters of the large fleet of steamers on ‘Western waters, the reduction of she navy, &c., will at emce reduce the expenditures of the government one ‘malltion of dollars per day. THE DRAFT STOPPED. Be Major General Dix, New York :— ‘The Department, after mature consideration and con- @eRation with the Lieutenant General upon the results @f the recent campaigns, has come to tho following de- Qemminations, which will be carried into offect by ap- Qeapriate orders to be immediately issued. ‘ire—To stop oli drafting and recruiting in the loyal Getes, Seomd.—To curtail purchases for arms, ammunition, @@artermaster and commissary supplies, and reduce the maiiitary establishment in its several branches. fhird.—To reduce the numbor of general and staff @@icers to the actual necessities of the service, Beurth.—To remove all military restrictions upon trade ‘and commerce, 90 far as may be consistent with public enfety. As soon as these measures Gan be put in operation it ‘will be made known by public order. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. VISIT OF LEE TO DANVILLE. ‘Wasuixaror, April 13, 1866, ‘was generally rumored, on the arrival of the boat Bringing General Grant and his party, that Messrs. Hun- ter, Campbell and Goneral R. E. Lee were also on board. ‘Zils, however, proved not to be the case; and it is said {Mat General Lee has gone to Danville, on # vimt to John- fton, in order to advise him to surrender his army to the @evernment, as his suporior officer had already dono. Bis bo would do on the ground that they fought as long @a there was any reasonable hope of success, and that Sarther resistance would be nothing short of simple pre- Meditated murder. There is no doubt that his advice will Be scoepted, and that Johnston will surrender to Sher- ‘man or Sheridan. General Grant represents General Lee aa zealous in his @@oria to stop further effusion of blood, and, instead of @oming North, is now engaged in urging all other com- ‘mmnders of Bouthern armies to surrender without for- @er resistance. General Lee considers this work as fepportant as General Grant did bis in ooming to Wash. fmagian to reduce the expenses of the government. GENERAL NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, Warren | 066. PEDIATR REDUCTION OF OU» % roram. owen of the (ormination of Lie Dis a collapse of the rebellion, there is to be immediately a great reduction of the mumber of naval vessels in com- mission, and a discharge of the crewa 4 portion of these will be laid up for the present, while a number, if not all, of the merchant vessels which have been ineor- porated into the navy, will be sold and returned to their logitimate business, This reduction of the naval force will, of course, make @ considerable saving in the ex- pense of that branch of the service. CRLEBRATION OF THE VICTORIES. ‘The capital of our one common country has been in ‘@ blaze to-night. The illuminations which have pre- ceded that of this evening have been but rehearsals for this grand performance, in which the people displayed their joy and happiness that the hour of trial and of danger had passed, and that the nation, one and undi- vided, triumphant over treason and rebellion, stands forth redeemed and disenthralled, The display was highly creditable. Our wide streets and avenues are espe- cially adapted to such exhibitions, giving s good chance to spectators to witness the full effect, The public build- ings wore all splendidly illuminated, and bands of musio were stationed at several of them, The Navy Depart- ment was especially brilliant, and the front extensively draped with American flags, The Marine band was in attendance here, and, together with the profuse display of fireworks, attracted the attention and admiration of a very large crowd throughout the evening. The recent iluminations of the War Department and President's mansion have rendered any additional description of their appearance needless. They presented no additional features, except that om the roof at each end of the War Department there was exhibited a very large calcium light. In Jackson Square, opposite the White House, there was very liberal and brilliant display of fireworks, which lasted throughout the evening. The City Hal! presented « most brilliant appearance, Across its front gas jets displayed the words, ‘‘Grant—Union—Sherman.”” The headquarters of General Augur’s Department of Washington were also magnificently illuminated, anda fine band here discoursed most excellent music, Along the upper front of the building, extending its whole length, was a transparency displaying the names of “@rant—Thomas—Sherman—Farragut—Sheridan.”” At the lower entrance of the Treasury building was a new transparency, representing a fifty dollar seven-thirty coupon note, and underneath it the motto:—‘‘The note ofa free government, endorsed by a free people, and guaranteed by the power and wealth of all the United States.” : Jay Cooke & Co.'s banking house was also magui- cently illuminated, and displayed three trensparencles, upon which wore inscribed, ‘Response of the loyal peo_ ple to the cry of traitors,” “Let us alone,” “Glory to God, who hath to U.8. Grant’d the victory,” “The Busy Bs—Balls, Ballots, Bonds.” The main office of the American telegraph line also Presented a beautiful appearance. The office of the United States telegraph, on Fifteenth street, was also il, luminated. The New Yoru Heratp office, on Fourteenth street, prosented a brilliant appearance, and the other newspaper offices on that street were also illuminated Even the hotels took part in the display, and were generally brilliant with lights and draped with flags. ‘The citizens all over the city took part in the illumina- tion, and for a time Washington presented the appear- ance of a fairy realm, its dirt and dinginess being for the time hidden by the brilliancy of the illumination and the corruscation of fire works,jwhich irradiatedjthe darkness and gloom of the evening. ‘The Arlington House, on Arlington Heights, the former residence of General Lee, was illuminated, and attracted much attention, it being @ conspicuous object from al- most any point in the city. The Lunatic Asylum, on the Rastern Branch, also preseated a splendid appearance. ‘Those two buildings are six miles apart; but from the Capitol grounds both were visible and notable for the brillianoy of their appearance. ‘The iJumination was unparalleled in this city, aad has been a brilliant success, and highly creditable to the national capital. The streets were thronged by all classes of the people, and everything pamed of in # quiet, orderty and rational manner. JEFF. DAVIG REFUSED PEBMISSION TO LEAVE THE oouNTBY. Jeff. Davis recently sent a particelar friend of bis to inquire at General Grant's headquarters whether it wes thought that General Grant would agree that Prosident Lincoln would permit him (Davis) to take ship at one of our ports for a foreign country, provided that Lavis would give his parole never to return. His messenger was informed that the business of General @rant was to make war upon the rebellion, and that he had no power to give passports to foroign countries. PROFITS OF JEFF. DAVIS AND M18 FRIENDS OF THE BLOOKADE RUNNING BUSINESS. It has transpired that the rebel Secretary of the Trea- sury (Trenholm), in connection with a rebel quarter- master and a Mr. Farnham, owned the controlling inte- rest in some thirty-seven blockade runners, by which they bad amassed, and deposited in safe places in Europe, over twenty millions in gold. Jeff. Davis was also inte- rested in these oporations. The exposition of these facts among the rebel leaders in Richmond hes caused the greatest indignation, though the excitement as yet is nothing to what may be expected when the deluded people of Rebeldom shall be made aware that the im- mense profits, arising from the starvation prices which they have been obliged to pay for the last two years, went directly into the pockets of the hypocritical blood- suckers who were sitting in the highest places of their pretended government. THE FIRING ON THB NIAGARA AT LISBON. No official information has yet beem reosived in regard to the @ring upon the Niagara in tho port of Lisbon, and of course, until the reception of Commander Craven's report, no official action can be taken im the premises. If ttehall be shown that the Niagara was simply shifting her anchorage, the Portugese government will be held to astrict accountability for the outrage upen our flag. ASSUMPTION OF TRADE WITH THE REBELS. ‘The order of Genoral Grant, rescinding hie former or- der suspending trade operations in certain insurrection. azy districts, the military necessity for such suspension having passed, gives general satisfaction, and operations under the act of Congress willat once be resumed and prosecuted with renewed vigor. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL SMYTH’S REMAINS. ‘Tho body of General ®myth, who died from the effects of the wound received on the 6th, arrived here to-day. A Bumber of our wounded, now at City Point, will be shipped to Annapolis, where they will be placed in the hospitals, CONDITION OF MR. SEWARD. The side of Mr. Seward’s face, injured by bis fall, has been placed In wires instead of bandages, since which time the swelling has become reduced, and now he does not suffer so much pain. He is unable to leave his bed as yet, and is generally more easy in the day time than during the night’ As talking is very painful to bim, owing to the injury of his jaw, he usos a slate and pencil to communicate with others, FORT SUMTER CELEBRATION. The employes at the arsenal in this city have made preparations for a Fort Sumter celebration to-morrow evening on an extensive acale. jgThey will have a torch- light procession, fireworks, &c., in honor of the rostora- tion of the old flag over that fort. MOSBY GOING TO FIGHT IT OUT. The notorious freebooter Mosby declines to recognize the surrender of the rebel army by General Lee, aud says he will Oight as long as he-bas @ man loft. A short shrift and plenty of rope will soon settle him and his highway- men. IMPORTANT TO PAYMASTHRA.

OUR PANAMA CORRESPONDENCE. Panama, April 5, 2866. ‘The Pacific Steam Navigation Company’s new steam- ship Paita, Captain Woolcott, from Valparaiso and inter- mediate ports, arrived at her anchorage in this harbor yesterday morning. Her dates are Valparaiso, March 17, Ooquimbo 18th, Caldera 19th, Cobija Zist, Iquique 22d, Arica 22d, Islay 23d, Pisco 25th, Callao 28th and Paita Sist.

One Spartish vessel-of-war, the Vencedora, had arrived in Valparaiso, and @ second, the steam frigate Reso- lucion, was daily expected; and it was the opinion of a few only that they were the advance of Admiral Pareja’s entire squadron, coming to demand indemnification; but the ee give no credit to such reports. The Probability of war is not mentioned, and business is pur- suing its usual course. Some changes in the boy are spoken of, but nothing definite is known on point. In Bolivia the new government is quieting matters as fast as possible and disposing of those.officials who may possibly interfere with the new order of things. Peace pond be expected in this republie for a little while at Your Lima correspondent furnishes some most inter- esting information frow Peru. His detail of the progress of the revolution, and the causes of the present disturbed condition of that constantly disturbed country, is vala- ablo, for it exhibits how apparently impossible it is for the people to govern themselves, and how they need some strong hand or power to rule them. This remark may be considered anti-republican; but whatever it ts, there is not a word but truth in the whole of it. The Central American news is important. The proba- ble death of Carrera, President of Guate: will have ‘strong influence upon tho affairs of that the other Centra! American republics, and it may be the means of restoring Barrios to power in Salvador; forthe latter rson has still a strong party in his country waiting for Just such an event as Carrera’s death to operate openly.

Avnasy, April 4—1 A.M, The aspect of the legislative chambers all day have been most animated. The Senate chamber this evening is crowded with spectators, and the scene is more intense in feeling than any presented here for many years. ‘The Central Railroad bili is virtually passed. This re- walt has for some time appeared impossible, and votes have been, it seemed, pledged irrevocably against it, as it was sought to make it a caucus rule of the majority to defeat any increase of fare of the Central Railroad. The bill came up in course to-day, and was elaborately treated by Senator Hastings against the adoption of the bill. In the evening session, Senator Havens epoke in reply, charac- ‘as fectious, and made in obedience to popular clamor based upon selfish and unjust demands. Senator Coris- de has conducted the it of the bill, and re- plied briefly to each sueceasive amendment.

A recent occurrence is significant as an evidence of the sentiments of the leading citizens of Richmond. It ts stated that William G. Crenshaw, Eaq., oneof Rich- mond’s woalthiest and most influential merchanta, volunteered in the Union interest to go to Lloyds, Essex county, the home of R. M. T. Hunter, for the purpose of inviting that gentleman to this city to aid the members of the Legislature in the matter of the pending recon- straction. The Crenshaw family represent more wealth im Richmond than any Ofty of its citizens, with perhaps two exoeptions—the representatives of which do not ex- ceed the Crenshaws im wealth.

THE CALLING OF THE VIRGINIA LEOISLATURE— FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE RESTORATION OF STATE TO THR UNION. {From the Richmond Whig, April 12.} Tt Is understood that this invitation has been put forth im pursuance of thé beh! Proceeding assented to by Prosideut Lincoln. At all events it will be hailed by the greet boay of the people of Virginia a the frst sep toward reinstatement of the Old v Dominion in te Union It is probable that some of the members of the Legislature may decline to come. In every such case the people of the county or Senatorial district should select some in- fluential ana inteliigent citizen, who is hip to take part in this business, and commission him, as far as they can, to represent them at tho conforence. ‘The views and purposes of the members of the Legis. lature should be ascertained at once. Every one can foresee difficulties in the way of formal action; inthe Deginning several complex questions are to be met at the threshold; but ‘where there is a will there is a way,” and whatever the difficulties presented the portant business must be underuken. ‘The Interview Between President Lin- colm and Judge Campbell. THE SUBJECT OP THE CONSULTATION THE RESTORA- TION OF PEACK IN ALL THE STATES. {From the Richmond Whig, April 11.] A special despatth to the Now York Tribune, from Washington, dated 7th inst., says:— The rumor that the President is earnestly engaged in Richmond in settling upon some if and generous proffer of pardon to the rebel rank and file gains credence in inflgential quarters. It is known that Secretary Sew- acd was summoned to convene there with the President the dey of his serieus accident.

He only remained herea few hours, aad then proceeded, we believe, to Fortress Monroe. In this connection we may say that the recent inter- view between the Prosidont and Judge Campbell related te the restoration of peace in all the States, and not to Virginia alone, as might be inferred from the brief motice of the ‘‘consultation of citizens’’ published in the Whig of Saturday. Whilst every one will Tejoice at the restoration of peace and prosperi- ty ta afl the Mates, we cannot refrain from the expression of the hope that the public men whoare te take part in the reinstatement of Virginia to her anciont position tm the eisterhood of States, will address them- eelves to that business without unnecemary delay.

Goupsnoro, N. C., April 6, 1865. The capture of Richmond and the great victory of General Grant were telegraphed here this morning from Newbern, and the joy and enthusiasm which the good news creates in Sherman's army {s beyond description. The Union citizens in Raleigh have also celebrated the event, in spite of the rebels, who are now powerless to prevent such loyal manifestations of joy, which refugees say are also belng openly displayed in different parts of the State. Here at Newbern and at other points in the department bells were rung and guns fired. Carl Schurz has just arrived at Newbern, and it is rumored that he is on his way to Raleicb. No movement for the return of North Carolina to the Union will probably be made until Raleigh is occupied by our troops, though it is now the general desire of the people throughout the State. A portion of Genreal Sherman's army was under crders to move prior to the reception of the news that Richmond was captured. It was generally belleved both im and out- side of our lines that Sherman would move from this point, to assist Grant in the capture of the rebel capital, Mr. James C. Fitzpatrick’s Despatch.

An accident occurred last night on the Wilmington and Goldsboro Railroad by which » soldier, just discharged from the service, was killed and several others injured. The train ran off about four miles north of Magnolia station, owing to the breaking of an axle, and the second and third cars were demolished. A lady from the ince. rior of the State, a refugee, who had taken passage as Goldsboro, had her leg broken. HARBOR MASTER, Captain 8. A.
