The New York Press ON sherman

New YoRK, April 24.-All the morn
ing papers speak editorialIy of General
Sherman's armistice with Johnston
The Tribune says: We can hardly
guess whether Johnston was to surren-
der to Sherman or Sherman to John
ston.
The Times says: Johnston evidently
believed himself debating terms rather
than receiving them, and laying the ba-
sia of new government, on the theory
of State rights, as absolute and complete
as Calhoun ever dreamed OF. Floyd
himself never conceived plan or basis
for rebellion superior to this. Sherman s
acts, viewed in a purely military bear
ing, must be regarded as one of the
most dangerous insubordination.
The Herald says:
Sherman, distinguished as an admira-
BILE soldier, has fatally compromised him
self, We fear, in entering the forbidden
field of diplomacy as a peace-maker.
His splendid military career is ended
and he will retire under a cloud, from
having undertaken to act outside Of his
legitimate sphere
The World disapproves Of Sherman 8
course, and sharply gebukes Secretary
Stanton for assaihng him SO violently.
1t says: With its intention and commit
tails it could have adopted Sherman s
plans of settlement, but be owed it to
his services and intentions to treat II
with more consideration and candor
The Daily Neacs thinks Sherman as
sumed too much authority, though il
sees no objection to the terms proposed
The Post says 40
From JEFF Davis down to his orderly
every man is frankly forgiven without
penalty, on tine simple condition of their
going home for the present to repair
damages and recruit their resources fol
future onslaught

More OF the sherman-JOhnston Cor
respOndence--The Raleigh Papers
New YoRE, April 25-The World 3
Washington special says:
Adyices received here to-day, direct
from Raleigh, state that the conference
between Sherman aud Johuston took
place at Chapel Hill, some ! 5 miles west
of Raleigh. Johnston 8 army, composed
of about 10000 men including Ramp-
toms and Wheeler s cavalry, lay 80 miles
from the city, on the road running to
Charlotte
In the FIRST interview Breckenridge,
the rebel Secretary Of War, was present.
He participated in drawing up the al
ready published memoranda Of terms of
eapitulation. During the conversation
be freely admitted the failure Of the re-
bellion, and declared that peace was al
most at hand, and in alluding to the
constitutional amendment, he said it was
directly the legal way of abolishing
slavery. He predicted its ratification
by over two-thirds of the States
1t was understood that during this con-
ference, which lasted two days, JEFF.
Davis was at Hillsboro, and was in tele-
graphic communication with Breckin-
ridge at Johnston's headquarters.
The men of Johnstou's army, with the
exception Of now and then an officer,
are desirous for peace and anxious to go
home
Throughout North Carolina there has
been most earnest exhibition of loyal
ty. When our forces entered Raleigh
the two papers there, the Standard, ed
tied by Holden, and the Progress, were
found to have been such strong Union
Aheets for some time past that their pub
licstion was not interfered with. They
continued with their regular Issues. No
public or private property was molested
by our troops, and the citizens, including
large number of ladies, appeared as
usual on the streets. Business was not
even suspended.
The news Of the Presidents assassina-
tion reached Raleigh last Wednesday
night. That night very large meeting
of citizens was held, at which resolutions
we're passed denouncing the deed and
expressing sympathy for the nation and
the people. The size of the meeting
surprised the army, who stood aloof from
it,
Gov Vance skedaddled before cur
troops entered the place; the report of
his capture is therefore untrue.
When this intelligence left Raleigh it
was the opinion in the army that the
terms of Johnston's surrender were un-
conditional surrender. Among the Cen
erals of high rank no others were known
or limited.

NEW YORK, April 25 A constant
stream Of people has been passing
through tho room where the remains Of
the late President lie every since yester-
day. They pass at the rate Of eighty per
minute at midnight. The German sing
ers, numbering about 1000 voices chant
ed dirges throughout the night. Though
the large line of citizens anxious to
view the remains was kept moving early
this morning, it seems diminished but
very little, and soon after daylight was
heightened greatly, extending from War
rem to John street on Broadway on the
/ West side of the City Hall, while there
was another line Of greater length run
ming through the street on the East side
Of the Hall All places Of business were
closed, while the upper stories Of every
building along the route of the process
sion are occupied by anxious spectators
One Oct0cE-Tbe procession is now
moving with the remains to the Hudson
river railroad depot. IL ia one Of the
most imposing and impressive spectacles
ever witnessed in New York; indeed,
perhaps it was never equaled. There
I are no vehicles in the line of procession
/ and II moves with an air inspiring SOL
/ emnity to the mournful music of the va
! riOus bands The military are out in
full force, as also a very large number
I of civic societies.
One Of the festoons on the front Of
the City Hall, took FIRE this morning,
/ causing great excitement As the cry
of Gre was made, the presence Of mind
of an officer, who promptly tore down
the burning drapery, saved a rush in the
crowd, which would, in all probability,
have caused loss of life.
The crowd in Broadway was so great
that it was found necessary to run chains
around the space through which the pro-
eession was to pass in the Park. The
number who viewed the remains is esti-
mated at 10000
