"Both General Sherman and Gov ernor Vance are mistaken in relation tothe character of ray services in con nection with - the negotiations' with Gen. Sherman that have been alluded to iii the present controversy," said Dr, Warren. "I was a member of the Governor's staff and one of the mili tary officers in charge of the flag of truce under which the commission proceeded to Gen. Sherman's head quarters. The facts, in brief, were these : ; "The war was about concluded, and the Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johnston were . in camp in and about Raleigh, N. C Sherman began to approach with his -victorious troops from the direction of Golds- boro. Gen. Johnston retired to the west of Raleigh with the main portion of his army, leaving that city uncov ered, with the exception of General Wade Hamptons command of caval- ry, wincti was posted as a picket line between the city and the enemy. "Uov. Vance then had a cousulta- ion with Gen. Hardee, the ranking Confederate commander nearest him, he members of his 6tafF and persons of distinction in the cityv It was de- termineu to make an enort to save Raleigh from the fate of Columbia, which had just been burned. With this end iu view Gov. Vance selected and dispatched a commission, compos ed of sHjX -Governor Graham and Ex Governor Swaim, both of whom are now dead. Gov. Graham had been Secretary. of the United States Navv in the cabinet of Mr. lilmore, and a candidate Jor the Vice Presidency when General Scott was the Presi dential candidate. Mr. Swain had been Governor of the State, and was then the president of the University of ortn Carolina, ihese two pen tlemen were citizens of the highes character and position. They, as com missioners, were sent under a flag o truce, which was accorded them by Gen. Hardee, and it was accompanied byj Mai. Dovereux, Coli Burr, of Wil mington, and myself as a military escort. self a medical oficer and asked lsthe protection of therson iu commanct. The officer: immediately rode iup and said that he was Colonel Godfrey, of Gen.lKilpatrick's stafl; Wheh jliold him tliat I was Surgeon perieral of the State oforth Carolina he said: 'AH right ; but keep close !to rae.' I then sprang to the ground and ap proached him, and 1 at the same mo ment! looked, towards the back of tlie car t0 see if my corarads were safe. I saw thecommissioners and my broth er officers descending from it. u AT KILPATRICK's HEADQUARTERS, r "In the sudden fright and general cptrfttsioi), while I was parleying with the officer Jn front, the soldiers had entered fromhe rear aiid gone thro Ujie- car' and the commissioners, too.

Our con versation was brought to a very ab rupt conclusion by a sharp skirmish hat commenced at that moment. As we wjent to the rear we had to pass a number of Federal cavalry regiments, and as the corumisioners wore liisrh tats and were dressed in frock coats. hey iwere objects of merriment to the soldiers, who had not seen a man in civilian's clothes' for months. The commissioners, being all men of great dignity, marched on without respond ing to the chaff of the soldiers. We were, taken back and confined in an old house. We were kept in suspense several hours before Geli. Kilpatrick paid 'attention to us. When he did ie said that he had determined to send us to Gen. Sherman and let him make such disposition of 11s as he pleased, We were then placed "upon a hand car, and I was made to stand up 11) front in my Confederate uniform as long as .it.was supposed we were in Con tetlerate J 1 nes or wtj 1 u . lha ca nge. of Confederate pickets, and their the federal officer took mv place when we reached the Federal lines. evervthinsr he had with mc.

We at once went to him, but he I was not disposed at first to be fneiidfy, but when we pre- sentetl General j Shermau's order he immediately accepted it and. gave or ders to post guards so as to protect the town. He then marched in great state, surrounded by his staff aud body guard, up the main street of the city. The Mayor, f members of the Governor's staff and other prominent citizens marched abreast of him on the sidewalk. As we approached the capital two Confederate marauders, who had been engaged in pillaging a store, suddenly. 1 rushed out, sprang upon their horses and fired deliberate ly at Kilpatrick, Ihe greatest excite ment immediately prevailed. His staff surrounded him at Once aud his body guard deployed as skirmishers. I rushed up to hiai at the very moment aud asked him very earnestly not to hold the city responsible for an act of individual misconduct: I urged that these men were violating their orders in remaining behind and were acting without the knowledge or consent of any Confederate1 officer. Geueral Kil patrick immediately gave orders to have them pursued and hung within ten minutes after they were captured and said if this were not done, he would hold somebody responsible for the act. ihey were pursued, captur ed and brought to the capital grounds aud there hung, just after General Kilpatrick had taken possession of the public buildings in the name ot tire United States.

We had passed beyond our own pickets, aud were proceeding to fulfill the mission upon -which we had been dispatched, when an order of recall was suddenly received from Presideut Davis, who was then at Charlotte, Nf C. This actidn'of the Presideut was no doubt based upon a serious misunderstanding of the por- I poses of the commission, and is doubt less the real. cause of the present con troversy. ' We of course turned back, re-entered the Confederate lines ami journeyed as rapidly as possible to wards lialeigh. Tho train which was carrying us was still flying the flag of truce. Y hen we were well within our lines it came to a very suddeu halt, and ljumjed to the front door to see what bad happened.

There were never a happier set of people in the world than we at Raleigh who kuew of the intended order, for all expected that before night North Carolina would practically be back to her original place in the Federal Uuion. When General Blair reach- ed Sherman s headquarters he was stunned with the terrible intelligence that Mr. Lincoln had been assasina- ted. Finally when this subject of the order restoring the State to her place iu the Union was broached, Geueral Sherman said that owing to the changed condition of affairs con sequent upon the death of the Presi dent lie did not feel willing to act uuon so important a matter: that A. m w although he was well acquainted with and. was authorized to inter pret the sentiments and desires of Mr. Lincoln he did not know what the temper and ideas of his suc cessor might be.
