Tbora, ,ha, Wilson obe, "a Or lcrs from Sherman and
notifying him and Canbv and all commanders on the
Miss. .nni 70 take measures to intercept tho Ecbe
G. iefs and THEN plumber.
.sThe specie taken with them is estimated here at
from six 10 thirteen millions"
As Mr.. stanton publishes this recommends
tion Of Gen. Halleck, il may De presumed he
approves it, and has followed it. The H.
evitable inference is that Gen. Sherman mas
been superseded. or that the Secretary ol wal
means to compel. him to resign. II Is very
nIein that \ commar Ter in the field whose sub
ordinatcs are publicly notified to disregard ms
orders cannot long retain with seli-respect,-
or even be retained n,--his present position.
Gen. Grant reached Morehead City on the
ODD and started at once by rail to join Sher-
mans army, which he would reach on the 2lth.
Before he could arrive, Sherman would have
been informed that his negotiations and agree
ments were dsapproved and annulled. Undoubt-
edlv. therefore whether Sherman remains III
command, or has been relieved, his army was III
motion by the 25th, at latest. Gen. Halleck
does not give the date of Beauregards dispatch
TO suspend the movement of the Sixth Corps,
but since it speaks of "new arrangement
ii must have been after Sherman had heard
from Washington and before Gen. Grant ha@
arrived. But il is of small consequence, as it
was instantly upset, and operations went on, at
least from the North. without interruption. And
there will be no little curiosity to learn what
sort of truce Sherman could have entered into
with Beauregard after he knew his agreement
with Johnston had been totally and emphat-
cally diSapproved at Washington.
We have no information whenthc Sixth Corps
marched from Burkesvillc for Danville, so there
is nothing to 90 by in specializing upon the pos
sible arrival of that body in Johnston's rear
The distance is so great, however, that unless
the Sixth started before Sherman's treaty
was known in Washington, it must be doubted
whether the movement was made in time. 1t
is stated that Grant had intended Ia detach one
or two corps Immediately after the surrender
of Lee, but was induced to desist on the
assurance of Lee tia. he would advise Johnston
10 surrender. We doubt it. Gen. Grant is not
quite the man to be fooled BY sugared promises
from the Rebel he had just beaten in battle.
But there is no positive information either way,
and we cannot count on the presence of force
in Johnston's rear. A stronger reason against
ii, is the fact that Grant would presume Sher-
man to be abundantly able to take care OF his
antagonist, and he would he reluctant to seem
to interfere with the projected campaign OF
Sherman
As for the escape of JEFF. Davis with his SIN
to thirteen millions of specie, it must be re-
membered that such a sum of money is not
easily transported over half a continent II
Davis embarrasses himself with an escort com
petent to defend, and train big enough to
carry, such a sum of money, he is not unlikely
to be captured. If he wisely contents him
| self with making the best of his way to the
Mississippi attended only by small body
tguard, he will probably get to Texas. And ye
