Sherrnan's Surrender! 7!

The month Of April will be long remem-
bered as the most eyentful month in our his
tory. One week the nation is elated with the
capture Of Richmond; the good feeling is
heightened by Lees surrender on the follow
ing week then the nation is bowed with
grief at the assassination OF the President,
and on tho heels Of that event our grief
experiences Indignation ut the base trcachery
or impudens eeccntricity OF Sherman. The
terms of the armistice, with the comments ct
the Government, will DO found elsewhere,
and therefore they need not be recapitulated.
We have failed to notice single approval of
his action by the Democratic press, save the
Saco Democrat, which, true to its trcasona-
HE proclivities, is ever ready to approve any
thing which Acknowledges disunion, and
aver:s punishment from traitors.
We find il impossible to account for this
nc, of Sherman. We have long been aware
that no was not in sympathy with the policy
of tho Administration but we could not
make up our mind that he was susceptible OF
bribery. much moro Of treachery. Charity
will revive tho story circulated some time
aro of his absrration Of mind at times, and
will seek to cover his unfortunate blunder
with that mantle. We can not forget how
he saved our army at Pi,,sburs Landing, or
Of his triumphant lead Of our army FROM
Dalton to Raleigh but hisc course shows how
pujdculy a brilliant reputation may DO lost.
What makes tho capi,ulation Of Sherman
moro suspicious is tho remarks Of tho Rich
mond correspondent Of the London Times,
published April 5th. The article is devoted
to Gen. Sherman, and predicts for him great
power. The following sentences arc weigh.
y;
If in the Aru,agcddon which seems now
approaching, Gen. Sherman once gets the
south down. il may confidently DO predicted
that his politics will bs moro in harmony with
thoss of Gen. Leo than those OF President
Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln has found him hith-
rrto u very valuable friend. 10 IS possible
that before the end comes no will find him a
still more dangerous enemy. Gen. Sherman
possesses character which Is OF the stuff oil
which great and mysterious actors in history
are oftsu made.
Zen. Sherman owes 10 to himself to ex
plain, II he can, his unfortunate act, and
that right quickly. While we can eee no pos.
,ibls explanation that can possibly lessen the
disgrace into which he has plunged himself,
IL, us hope for the bcst in regard to the man,
and "think Of him at his best" Gen. Gran,
j. in direct command at Raleigh, and though
the advantages lost BY Sherman OF prevent.

y The Saco Democrat, speaking of the
funeral Grafton pronounced by Mr.. hpley,
piously takes exception to the remarks Of the
speaker. who, in citing the condition of the
country Immediately preceding Mr.. Lincoln's
administration, said that he succeeded cor
rupt and imbccile Administration, and terms
the sentence "uncalled for and out OF place. "
1t was necessary, in order to show the late
Presidents wisdom and virtues, to state the
embarrassments which no met at the onset,

Tho following are tho reasons of the gov

eminent for Disappearing the afmistice:
lst-It was an exercise OF authority not
vested In Gen. Sherman. and on its face shows
that both no and Johnston knew that he
(Sherman)had no authority to enter into any
such arrangement.
2d-It was practical acknowledgement
Of the rebel government
3d-It Is understood to 70 establish the reb
81 State government that had been overthrown
ut sacrifice Of many thousand lives and i'm.
mense treasure, and to place arms and anmu.
milton in the hands Of the rebels at their re-
spective capitals. which might be used rs soon
Ms the armies OF the United States were dis
banded and employed to conquer and subdne
loyal States.
4th-By the restoration OF rebel authority
to their respective States, they would be en-
abled to establish slavery.
5th-It might furnish ground Of respon.
sibility by the Federal government. to pay
the rebel debt, and certainly subjects loyal
citizens of the rebel States to pay tho debt
consummated by rebels in the name Of the
State.
Gth-Tt puts In dispute the nxistcnceof the
loyal State governments and the new State OF
Western Virginia, which has been recognized
by every department Of tho United States
Government.
7th-It practically abolishes tho contisca-
ton laws, and relieved rebels Of every degree,
who had slaughtered our people. from oil
pains and penslties for their crimes.
8th-It gave terms that had been delibcr
ate, repeatedly and solcmnly rejected by Pres.
ident Lincoln, and better terms than the 70.
bells ever asked in their nest prosperous con
dition.
9th-It formed no basis of true and lasting
peace, but relieved rebels from the pressure
Of our victories. and left them in condition
to renew their efforts to overthrow the United
States Government, and subdue loyal States.
whenever their strength was recruited and
any opportunity should offer.
