Governor Morton has suggested to the
Secretary OF War the propTiety of issuing
orders directing all field and sts # and line
officers, now in the service and about to be
mustered out with their commands, who
have been promoted and COMMISSIONED TO
high grades in their respective regiments
ana companies, but who have not been
mustered into said grades their co onmsnds
being below the minimum strength, to be
mustered in as of the date OF their muster
out. 1t is claimed the officers have as
sumed Gil responsibility, and discharged
the duties of the positions for which they
have been commissioned for mefisorious
services, and that while their muster in as
proposed would not increase their pay, or
in any manner affect the Government, it
would be looked on by them as a valued
mark of appreciation, and
a recognition of their faithful services in
saving and restoring the country. The Co
operation of the Governors Of other States
has been obtained to secure the issuing OF
the order mentioned.

GeneraI sherman,s Armis,Iee.

From ths London Times, Mayel rF.
We sre not disposed to blame the view
taken, under the circumstances, by the
Federal Government As to the generaT
right of the supreme power in State to
rescind an armistice, If it can be go called,
of this kind, no doubt whatever can be
entertained. The power to conclude is
not, and could not be implied in any mill
tary commission, and the agreement here
beans ON the face of it an seknow ledgment
that it vss executed without any special
authority. Modern history furnishes nu.
merous instances 10 which conventions fall
ing more nearly within the scope of q
Generals sushOIl.y than this have been
dlsAlowed by ibe Sovereign. Such was
the case of the treaty signed by Sir. Sid
ney Smith for the evacuation of Egypt by
the French army; and even. the famous
convention of Cintrs, it will be rememb ber-
ed, was formerly condemned by the Kiag.
In short the oaly question is not one OF
law, but of policy. 1t is not whether Pres
ident Johnson has right to set aside Sher-
mans terms of pscitcstion, but whether,
for the sske of checking further tffusion of
blood, it might not have been an act Of
wise elemency to sdOpt them. Bystanders
may naturally incline to this alternative,
but it was hardly to be expected thst
President who processes to regard Oonfed.

cspitulstion which Teinststes them in the
position OF good citizens. Mr.. johnson
viii treat the enemy, once at his mercy,
with greater lenieney than he affects. Now
tina. Lee has surrendered, Mobile has fallen
and General Johnston has confessed him
self exnausted, the Northern people, whose
minister he is, esn EtfoId to be mRgnani-
nous, and We do not believe that they will
sully their victory with deeds Of cruelty.
