1T appears Johnston:s first letter to Gen.
Sherman proposed surrender OF his army on
the same terms Lee surrendered. A meeting
was arranged, at which Wade Hampton was
present. He protested against the terms Of
surrender, and declared he would not surrender
his cavalry force Thereupon Sherman con-
sented to delay, for the purpose OF giving
johnson and Hampton an opportunity to con
suit JEFF. Davis. Another meeting was ar
ranged for the next day. On that Day the
parties again met, and at the first sitting the
remarkable memorandum OF basis OF agrees
ment was presented, and at once signed. 1t
is further said that before Sherman signed
the memorandum be had received the news Of
the assassination of President I.incoln. -
