Every voting man is eagerly asking the
best way TO get on in life. The Bible
gives short answer TO the question
"Walk in the way of good men, and keep

The Provost Office-sCpI. Wilmer.

Orders have been issued for closing up the
business of the various Provost Marshal offices
and recruiting statians as rapidly as possible;
no more recruits are to be forwarded and no
more deserters arrested. In pursuance of this
order nearly all the officers and clerks in the
Provost Office at Wilmington have received
their walking papers" This includes the
commissioner, surgeon, ail the clerks but three,
and all the deputy proyQsts, detectives and
special agents throughout the State. The
Quartermaster Department has also had a
like reduction of its force, The expenses of
the Provost Office have been estimated at
from $50, 900 to $40, 600 per month, and though
light in comparison to the expenses of other
provost offices and but drop from the trea-
sury bucket, when this business is taken as a
whole it stops large leak Already the ex-
penses of the Government have been reduced
one million dollars per day. And not the least
encouraging thought to us who have shivered
under so many drafts is the fact that there will
be no more of that business to modest or make
us afraid
We are informed by those recently connect

The Terms of Surrender.

AS there is much speculation with regard to
the meaning of the terms conceded to Lees
and Johnston armies by Gen. Grant, we give
below the ~ \. Tri6une's Interpretation:
Gen. Grant announces that Johnston surren-
dered to Gen. Sherman. The terms are the
same as those accorded to Lee and the Army
of Northern Nirginia-terms which have been
partially interpreted by Attorney General
Speed, but which still seem to us very general
ly misunderstood. 1t was matter of course
that Lees army should surrender as prisoners
of war, the belligerent character of the Rebel
armies having been hundred times before re-
cognized, and judicially affirmed by the Su-
preme Court OF the United States. Now all
that Grants concession superadds to their
character as prisoners OF war is the concession
of parole aud permission to 60 to their homes
with immunity from disturbance by United
States authority, SO Tong us that parole Su6S1Sts
and no longer. Ii an officer surrenders his pa
role, he becomes simply prisoner Of war. But
suppose the war at an end-what is he then?
The character Of prisoner of war implies a state
of war. He is held prisoner that he may not
again take the field against the Government
holding him. Paroled, his parole subsists so
long as the wa lasts, and III the nature of it
cannot subsist longer Were he exchanged, all
consequences flowing from the stjrulati0ns in
his favor when he surrendered become abso-
lutely null. Nor does it appear how by mill
tary convention he can be protected beyond the
existence of that state of affairs which a mill
tary convention supp0ses-viz the continuance
of the war. GeU. Grants power, as the At
torney-G General declares, was wholly that of a
military Commander, and could not extend to
the granting Of an amnesty or pardon for civil
offences 1t follows that the surrender of the
armies Of Lee and of Johnston put the officers
and soldiers composing them simply in the con-
dition of paroled prisoners of war, free from
molestatiOn by civil authority so long as they
continue paroled prisoners of war. They may
be declared exchanged, or by the force of cir
cumstances may cease to DO prisoners of war.
Gen. Grant therefore, is not open to the re.
proach of having bestowed pardon ON these
men, nor is the Government concluded by his
action, except within the limits OF his authori.
ty as General commanding.
The practical bearing Of some Of the ques
tions arising under this stipulation has aread,
been shown by the opinion of the Attorney
General, and the limitations above indicateC
seem to be justified by the course of his argll
ment as well as by their intrinsic necessity
And yet we apprehend their value is incident
al and subsidiary--notv vital. The Governmen
does not mean to play tricks, nor to break an,
bly, by the surrendered Rebels as if they ha,
, dealt honoraby by it. But it clearly does no
mean to tolerate the insolence of Confedorat
uniforms or Confederate opinions in loyal cite
nor on loyal territory The officers of Lee
army were slow to learn that; possibly John
ston' may profit BY their experience.

THE WAR NEWS.
Surrender Of Sherman.

The dilemma Ill reference to the rebel army
of Gen. Johnston is satisfactorily solved The
Lieutenant General has sent official informa-
tion to the War Department from North Caro-
lima that j Ohnston has surrendered the forces
Of his command on the basis agreed upon, on
the 9th instant, for the surrender of the army
often Lao. We need not say that this will be
perfectly satisfactory to the country, as it as
suredly is TO the government.
The rebel forces embraced in this surrender
includes all dGt ore IN arnaS between the south
ern border of Virginia and the Chattahoochce
River, The ChattahoGcl,ee forms for a great
distance the Western boundary of the State of
Georgia; so that the territory covered, or rath-
er upcGvored, by this great surrender, embraces
the States of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, or distance of over frt
huadped miles from east to west.
The rebel ram Web is reported to have run
out OF the Red river on the evening of the 23d
