Lee’s Advice to Johnston. ‘Waenrvctox, May 1, 1865. Information has been received that immediately after the surrender of Lee’s army General Lee wrote a letter to Joe Johnston representing that further resistance to the Union armies would be in vain, and urging him to surrender without reference to the wishes or advice of Jeff.

Ratmon, N. 0., April 98, 1865, Mr. Holden, the editor of the Raleigh Standard, who {s suggested as the Governor of the State, takes decided ground against the restoration to power of Governor Vance and the existing Legislature. He favors the adoption of the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, and recognizing the constitution of the United States as paramount to any State constitution. RICHMOND. Mr. Wiliam H. Merriam’s Despatches, New Yorx Hrxatp Rooms, Ricumoxp, April 28, 1865, SOUTHERN PZOPLE WAITING TO MOVE NORTH. Tam informed that many citizens of Virginia contem- plate moving North, from an impression that they can enjoy more freedom there thau here. They believe that being there merged in the general population they would enjoy the privileges accorded to all, and not be made special objects of attraction by the national State or municipal authorities; while here they apprehend Persecution, or, at least, the abrogation, to some extent, of the rights and privileges they formerly enjoyed. THE NRGROR, The exodus of Virgin'a negroes from here North te very large. The citizens, including the'r former owners, are exceedingly gratified at the fact, as the blacks became 80 insolent ag to render their presence loathsome. 1 understand that the ladies of the city keep mostly fate of those misguided and unfortunate men who have thus wickedly exposed their families to the sad priva- tions which they are now enduring. I learn that has been tendered to them by our authorities, and that every effort is being made to relieve their physical wants. FINANCIAL QUESTIONS AT THR SOUTH. An embarrassing question {# likely to arise here in regard to the gre, Na banks to depositors. Of course their responsibility to . depositors ef rebel notes is a matter equally unimpertant to both, since the deposits, if available, would be worthless to the creditors. The main difficulty will arise in respect to deposits in their own iesues; and of these, itis said, a large amount has becn secured by their transfer to Danville and other points in the interior some daye before the evacuation. A considerable amount of speci s is said to be also secured 3 like precaution. An ap- prehension is felt that the banks will plead inability to pay, as @ result of the late fire. It is said that the mat- tor will be tested before the proper authorities as soon a8 affairs are righted here. A similar difficulty fs likely to ariee in respect to some million of Treasury notes signed by the State on her own account since the war commenced. The holders of Virginia bonds seem to have no apprehension as regards their ultimate redemption, it being supposed that the same terme of responsibility will apply to Southern as to Northern and European holders, @ owners of lands at Present—are very auxious to dispose ofghem to Northern italiate. In the absence of the necessary means to develop the rich resources of that region, they are de- sirous to sell, in order to procure capital to engage in commercial enterprises. New Yorx Herat Rooxs, Ricumoxp, Va., April 20-4 A. M. } ARREST OF CAPTAIN (REBEI) WM. B. HATCH, Captain William H. Hatch, rebel assistant agent for exchange, under Judge Robert Ould, was arrested last evening and committed to Libby Prison upon charges of the gravést character. Those charges are \ derstood to seriously compromise his integrity in relotion to the affairs of both Union and rebel prioners of war recently in part under his jurisdiction. The whole (late) rebel community was stirred to ite utmost depths on the an- nouncement ef the arrest and confinemegt of this noted favorite, and handsome officer of Lee's army and ally of theirs. The amazement among them was beyond measure It has been deemed proper to withhold the details that suggested the arrest, to the end that the Cap tain may explain away the grave accusations. He was arrested at the instance of our authorities, and it may be added in his favor that he was always, next to General Malford and Judge Ould, popular with the prisoners of war on both sides.

INFLDX OF PAROLED PRE'ONERA, AND WHAT THEY THINK, Thourands of sunburned veterans of many battle, from the late rebel army, are arriving here, either to be forwarded to thoir homes on parole, or to take the oath of allegiance, and endeavor to obtain employment North. Tho majority are greatly elated with the pros- Pect of peace, but a few hotheads feel very bitter at what they term a disgraceful surrender, Those who are here awaiting transportation are well treated, and re- ceive such rations as are issued to aur soldiers, The offieers are at liberty on their parole of honor, and can go around where they please, They are becoming satis- fled that the United States government is a stable insti- tution and worth living under, A very intelligent officer, who served with distinction four yeara in the rebel army, furntshes me with the fol- lowing highly interesting details of the death throes of the rebellion. DANVILLE, THE LAST CAPITAL OF THR REBELLION, Danville, on the Dan river, one hundred and forty miles from Richmond by rail, was, before the war, a flourishing Itttle place of about threo thousand inhabit- ante, beautifully situated on a hill overlooking the river, which rolled gracefully between the hills beyond until it was lost to the vision, turning abruptly from its couree, by a sreall valley of great loveliness, Its chiof com- mercial Mature consisted in the tobacco trade. The counties adjacent to Pitteylvania (in which Danville is situated)—Henry, Patrick and Franklin—are all in the richest part of Virginia, and the yield of the soothing wéed was enormous, Like all Southern towns, Danville has suffered greatly from the war by the utter stagnation of business and the premature decay €0 common to the Southern climate. JevP, DAVIS’ ARRIVAL Danville,.on the morning of April 3, presented an uny- wually lively aspect. The mews of the evacuation of Richmond had reached the place, Crowds of men, wo- men and children, black and white, gathered around the depot at the telegraph office to hear the newn, 4 thou- sand and one rumors were rife. Boon the ‘But, alas, for the blind devotees of the cause of the re- Dellion, the worst had met yet come. Mr, Davie wae immediately invited to the palatial residence of Major W. B, Sutherlim. Mr. Trenholm and several ether digul- taries accompanied him. Here he remained antil he was obliged to leave the place a few days after. Mr. Benjamin, the fat little Secretary of State, with the air of a French dancing master, had a smile—I should have said a grim—for every onc. By the vast influx of strangers Danville was thronged ; every place was filled to its utmost, and the depart- mental clerke who accompanied the effects of the dif- ferent offices remained in the cars, converting them into officer, wareliouses, kitchens and bedchambers. The Greensboro extension Railroad was used to its utmost capacity in transporting people who were em route South—eome to their homes, others to visit rome friends, under whose roofs they might tarry until they could shift elsewhere for themeelves, The greatest state of uncertainty prevailed, and the people were beginning to feel really alarmed in not hearing from General Leo's army. Six days paseed of this terrible suspense, Brigadier General H. H. Walker, who commanded the line of defence on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, was in command of the place. He was in daily communication with Mr, Davis, still no accurate information could be hear from General Leo. It was confidently expect’d that he would make his way to the Danville Railroad, and make tho Staunton river the line of his defence, Suftiient time had elapsed for his plans (if such they were, and snch war | the general impression,) to be developed, and not one | word was heard from him, | ‘THE NEWS OF LER’ FURRENORR, General Waiker sent out rconts, to be carried down the railroad to Staunton river, then to make the best way | they could to General Leo's army. They went within sight of the armies, and returned with the informa- fon of the surrender, vahich at first was gencrally disbe- lieved, It was kept secret; by the time General Waiker had ridden to Mr. Davis’ house the news began to spread, and two hours afterwards every one knew it, Nearly all night was spent by many in the discussion of the situation. Morning dawned, and, like the people's heart, was dull and heavy looking. ‘THR GANERAL BXODUP, Then began the exodus, Stoneman’s raiders were reported between Danville and Greensboro, causing painful apprehension to those who contemplated | flight southward, It was over one week from the evacuation of Richmond before the news of the surrender of Lee was known in Danville, By this time the wagon trains and those who had left Richmond on foot b¢.0 to arrive, and the place was more thronged than e As all the cara were packed when they arrived in Danville, and the wagons also, many valuable stores of great variety were destroyed.
