general sherman.

There is the best authority for saying
that General Sherman never refused to
obey the. summuns of the Committee on
the Conduct of the War; and tEiatihe never
received notice until Friday, and he will
be examined tomorrow. His official re-
port, fully explaining his arrangement With
General Johnston, has been on Gle in the
War Department for some days. No doubt
it will soon be publish ed, and upon this
he rests his defence against all slauderons
imputations.. He knew inothing3of Score
tary stanton's REASONS, General 5HaIleck's
order, or the ciamors against him, until he
passed Qspei Henry, ten days ago. and then
made his rep oft, under q full sense that he
had been treated with injustice. Jtmay
here be stated that General Sherman re-
fused to recognize the rebel State author-
| tiles until after his irstinterVieW with GENT
Johnston when he received the order of
Gen. Weitzel, issued while President Lin
lcoln was in Richmond, recognising the
rebel State authorities of Virginia. he
notified Johnston that he would pursue the
same course as to the other rebel authori.
ties. With regard to the question of sIa
very he has repeatedly recognized the
validity of the emancipation proclamation
and laws Of Congress on kindred subjects,
and did not deem it necessary, in order to
EeuueF them Vallo, tnat he should 30 state
in the Convention. As for the truce, 1t Was
all to our advantage. While it was pend
ing l2miles of railroad was built, the roads
were repaired, and supplies transported,
and Gen. Wilson was moving to occupy
strategic points in the South in order to pre-
vent the escape of Jeff Davis. Its stated

We have observed, going the rounds of
our exchanges a very interesting statement
written by the private secretary Of one of
JEFF. Davis cabinet. 1t aflrms that Davis
was unpopular with the leading men Of
the South. Orr, Toombs. Wigfall and
Graham openly opposed him. Campbell,
Cobb, Hunter and many otheFs, though de.
ploring his errors, did not think it best to
oppose him. Davis did not conceal his
contempt for his Congress. Hunter, Gra-
ham, Campbell and others we're convinced
before the Peace Conference at Fortress
Monroe, that the rebel cause was hopeless,
and urged Davis to allow the conference,
hoping that before the armies were dis
banded better terms could be obtained than
afterwards. They preferred reconstructiOr
to subjugatiou. The rupture between
DAVis and Hunter became complete, ant
the latter retired TO his home. Wfgtal
openly proposed to compel Davis ant
Stephens to resign. .THE5.-
The specie which Davis and his asso
CiatCs bore away from Richmond, wa
about 5000, 900, aud chiefly in silver. Blu
they had money 10 Europe, which the
could have drawn, if they had reache
there. Davis seemed to labor, even to tn
last, under the fatal delusion that the rebe
government could sustain itself. q
halted at Danville, and again at Chariot.
IN the expectation of setting up his gov
eminent, and at the latter place espresso
his surprise that Lee should surrender wit
$4,000 men. The writer of the stAtemeu
estimates tho rebels In arms east Of tn
Mississippi before the 6nal campaign a
100000 men. Az early az the 9Th {
March, Gen. Lee wrote to, Davis that b
could not hold his lines or save his army

We perceive that our contemporaries are
unanimous in recommending for JEFF. Davis
the mild puuishmentof hanging. In view
of the blackness Of: his treason, his COM
plicity with plots Of assassination, arson,
murder on the high seas, starvation Of
Prisoners of war, ETC., it might have been
expected that some would have, demanded
q more terrible punishment. 1t is crafty.
ing to seer however, that reason rules the
people, and that they demand simply that
he should be executed in the ordinary way
of those who have forfeited their existence
by their crimes. The New York Indepen .
dent of this week concludes an article on
this subject with the following paragraph:
The question now leaps to all mems lips,
what shall be the punishment It is a
question which may be safely lodged with
the GoVernment-where, alone, it responsi-
bly, belongs. Shall he be tried for treason2
Shall he be tried for inhuman treatment of
prisoners2 Shall he be tried for assassina
toni Or shall he be tried for all these
crimest Bat, on " hateyer charge he may
be tried, let his trial be dignifed, passion
less, and impartial, and, after the sentence
let the death penalty be sOlemuly execut
ed. Opposed as we are to capital punish
ment, and hopeful that the nation will on,
day abolish the scsffold, yet since the
American people have chosen to punish or
binary culprits with hanging, how shall
they permit the greatest of culprits to q
tree2 We build our argument upon thi
rock: If the Government shall not han
JeVeT'on DaVtS, then let iIneVer hang Gnothe
man while the World stands.
