II is a generally admitted fact that Major
General Sherman is as gallant q soldiers a;
ever drew sword. He was among the first
to deDouRce the slave holders rebellion, and
crush out the internal conspiracy. His sere:
of glorious victories upon the battle field, i.
well known 10 every one, and they claim the
admiration Of the world-he was, in a measure
first in the service achieving brilliant victore:
TO the fall OF the rebel capital and the crush
ing out of the rebellion; and it would appear
that bis present great bluuder in his conference
at Chapel Hill with the rebel chiefs was ar
error of the head and not the heart To use
the language Of cotemporary I'VE think be
misapprehended the terms granted to Lee, by
giving too broad construction TO the ideas
which impelled the Government in granting
those terms. Being very good fighter but a
very poor diplomat, we apprehend that be was
induced to believe that be was substantially
following the course Of principles marked out
10 Lees case, though be had given to them a
broader application. At all events, for the
sake of his military renown, bis action in the
premises is greatly to be depored"
The Sacramento Union of the 9th, closes
long article upon this matter, by saying that
Grant, we suppose, will promptly employ the
ample forces at his disposal to prove that our
Government had no authorized representative
in this Chapel Hill conference. When he or
ders forward movement he will probably fiud
nothing more in his front than thin line Of
pickets. The men who are badly wanted for
the hangman will not be found in North Ca
rolina. That State will be cleared of rebels
without q fight. Hampton and Wheeler will
doubtless go to bushwhacking in South Caro-
lima. But Sherman's folly cannot infuse any
new life into the rebellion. nor do We suppose
Breckenridge or johnson believed it could be
turned to such account. The so called army
of the rebellion in North Carolina did not
comprise as large force of effective infantry
as single corpse of the Army of the Potomac
Augusta will be taken by an expedition mo-
wing from Savannah. Wilson's army of noun
ted iniantry can go anywhere in Alabama or
Georgia without meeting serious opposition.
The Alabama rivers are open and will be gar
risoned by Csuby. Busbwhacking will be
continued the rest of the year in the Gulf
States, while movements for reconstruction on
a trustworthy basis are in progress, but, east
of the Mississippi, the war is over, and the
most obnoxious of the rebel leaders will get
out OF that region as fast as they can fiud con-
veyance and safe lines for evacuation. 1t a
great pity, however, that after such brilliant
close of the struggle the confidence of the peo.
pie and the Government in the judgement and
discretion OF one who has contributed SO
grandly 10 the national triumph should be i'm
paired by this absurd conference at Chapel
Hill.

Upon information being received by Gen.
Wright, that the Colusa coanty traitors we're
exulting over the assassinatiou and death Of
Abraham Lincoln, orders were Immediately
sent to Capt. Starr. of Chico TO go forthwith
with bis company to suppress treason in Colu-
So" and see that the exultant Coufederates be
dealt with as their oHeuse required. Captain
Starr sen, two of bis soldiers dressed in citizens
clothes two days in advance OF the arrival Of
the company, that they might get full e1.
preston from the dasiardly rebs. On Thurs
day Of last week, Capt. Starr and company ar
rived and arrested the following na,oei rebels:
A. D. Shepardson, District Attorney. G. Price,
Deputy Assessor, J. ScroggiDs, Justice of the
Peace, and ranchman named John Campbell
This was the result of the first day The cap
tured rebels were marched to the commons uu
der the shade Of green oak tree, where, guard
ed by nine soldiers, they made their beds 10 the
green grass. The next day blacksmith named
Jonas Baer, Goodman, copperhead salooi
'SlI " WILL q lailCunlal, 6uQ lue 6Ol-
tor of the Colusa Sun, were added to the num-
Der, all Of whom have been marched to Camp
Union. The seige at Colusa is still going on,
and is not likely to cease until all the exultant
rebels have been arrested and taken in charge
by the proper authorities. There were but
two flags flying in Colusa when. Capt. Starr
arrived, but be soon caused the rebel Sheriff
and others to raise their flags at half mast.
Speaking of these traitors the Independent ap-
propriately remarks:
We hope that their punishment will be at
least six months if not six years, and that the
next Legislature will divide up Colusa county
among the counties adjoining, and its name be
bIotted from the map of the State. The soil
Of Colusa has been accursed Of God for the
past seven years, and it perhaps requires some
strong measures to appease His wrath.

IHE UNIUN REUURD.
OR0vILLE. SATURDAY, APRIL %

We should like to have az explanation as
to Long Hairs" and Short Hairs" Who
are they and what is their object? We don't
believe there are ten or dozen men in this
State great enough TO create faction 10 the
party. II it is the work of few political
aspirants forming themselves into "cliques" for
Office and profit, it would appear to be wisdom
for those IN the secret to expose such rotten
combinations. There are plenty of good men
in this State, who are not aspiring and entering
into combinations, to Gil all our Offices with
honor and ability, and the people will ask that
all cliques be blotted out, and men more worthy
placed in high positions, both State and Ma
,ionaL We know DO long hairs or short hairs
hers-our party Is one and undivided, and in
favor of wiping out oil cliques that would dis
turb its harmony 10 acting together.
GENERAL Mcdowell has declined to consent
to the resurrection of any Of the papers recently
Suppressed" and now in the hands Of the
Provost Guard, on the ground that the public
interest would not admit of the issue of any
more publications of that character. The
editor of the Monitor published card in the
Call, few days ago, denying that his paper
ever advocated or sympathized with secession
or uttered reasonable language. The Marys
vile Express also declares that it was never
known to talk treason. We may next expect
to hear of JEFF. Davis endeavoring to show that
be was never connected with the rebel "Con
federacy," but, on the contrary, has ever been
q truly loyal man, always opposing dissolu
tioD Of the Union. Secession and treason are
no longer respectable, but Northern advocates
of and sympathlzers with the hellish doctrine:
will experience considerable difficulty in making
people believe their present professions, in view
OF their past course
