why his Arrangement with
JOlsasaOs, was Es5sapprOVeG.


The proceeding Of Gen. Sherman was
unapproycd for the following among othar
reasons.
frst-It was an exercise Of authority
not vested in Gen. Sherman, and lis face
shows that both lie and Johnston knew
that he, Gen. Sherman, had no authority
to enter into any such arrangements.
.Sccond-It was practical acknowledge
ment of the rebel government.
Third-It undertook 10 re-establsh the
rebel state governments that had been
overthrown at the sacrifice Of many thou
sand loyal lives and an immense treasure,
and placed armes and ammunition in the
hands Of rebels at their respective capt.
tails, which might be used as soon as the
armies Of the United States were disbanded
and used to conquer and subduc the loyal
states.
Fcurf6-By the restoration of the rebel
authorities in their respective states they
would be enabled to fe-establsh slavery.
Fitth--It might furnish 4 ground OF
responsibility by the federal government
to pay the rebel debt, and would certain
" subject loyal citiz ems Of the rebel states
to the deb. incurred by rebels in the name
OF the state.
S.rM-It puts ia dispute tie existence
Of loyal state governments, and the new
state Of West Virginia, which had been
recognized by every department of the
United States government
Sepenth-It practically abolished the
conii>cation laws, and relieved rebels of
every degree, who had slaughtered our
people, from all pains and penalties for
their crimes.
Eighth--it gave terms that had been
deliberately, repeatedly: and solemnly re-
jectcd by President Lincoln, and better
terms than the rebels had ever asked il
their most prosperous condition.
-NmM-It forms no basis of true and
lasting peace, but relieved the rebels from
the pressure of our victories, and left them
in a condition to renew their efforts to
overthrow the United States government
and subdue The loyal states whenever their
strength was recruited and an opportunity
should Offer.
