RumOrs OF Joe JOhnsIOn's surrender.
A spscial dispatch TO the Commercial

RumOrs OF Joe JOhnsiOn's surrender.
A special dispatch to the Commercial
Advertiser says that Johnston's entire
army has surrendered to Sherman. We
have had the same ramor several times al
ready, and have learned to receive it with
due allowance. A more probable state
nent is given in another dispstch, to the
effect that Sherman has offered Johnston
the same terms which Grant held out to
Lee, and thst he will probably accept them.
There can be little doubt but that John
ston will soon surrender, if he has not al
ready done SO. There is a general feeling,
however, that in view of the lest and great
est crime OF the rebellion-ths asssssins-
tion of the President terms laid down
are entirely too lenient. The people will
demand at lesss that the parole and i'm
piled pardon extended to the rebel armies
shall not include a single civilian leader in
treason
