not prove anunapt scholar in the school in
which he has heretofore and SO recently been
taught, and judging of his future policy in the
administration of public affairs, at least as far
as stubborn relentless Rebels are in question,
from indications already made public, we reach
the conclusion, that leading influential Reb-
els who induced this wicked rebellion, will be
held to strict account for their deeds. In the
language of the new President, 'that there is
q distinction between the offence Of Petty Lar
oeny and Treason, and that Rebels must and
shall learn by due punishment, that it is the
highest and greatest offense which can be
committed in civilized country" we compre'
heud his future policy.

~ The death Of the late loved President
however sad and deplorable, we trust and be-
lieye is not without its benefits on the country
If properly directed and enforced, though his
loss is irreparable. The heartfelt sorrow and
mourning which prevailed throughout the
country on the day when his funeral obsequies
were celebrated, and the immense gather
iugs and symbols Of mourning which
swsited the arrival of his mortal remains In
the various cities onits way for final sepulchre
in Illinois, are sufficient evidences Of the high
estimation in which he is held by the great
masses Of the. people throughout the entire
country: 80 also the significant fact, that al
the daily and weekly newspapers of the day
including those of all parties, were in their
next subsequent issues draped in mourning
for hia loss; and the equally significant fac
that expressions of the disloyal and disafect

R6F Last week we had the modification to
lay before our readers peculiar document
mutually signed by Generals Sherman and
Johnston, proposing the surrender OF the
esprit d cmps of the latter to the former, pro-
vided for under certain contingencies, which
were nepatived by the Government at Wash
ington: by whom General Grant was ordered
to proceed to the headquarters Of General
Sherman and terminate the impolitic suspen-
sion Of hostlities with the enemy, with all dis
patch
The current week we have the pleasure to
announce that General Grant, on reaching
Raleigh, promptly announced the determlna'
ton of the Government in the premises and
we further learn, through official sources, that
Johnston instead of deriving benefit from his
diplomatic strategy, to which General Sher'
man was very absurdly induced to subscribe,
has gladly availed himself of the opportunity
offered of surrendering all the forces under
his command to General Sherman, from Ra
leigh, N. C., to the Chattahoochie. on terms
similar to those granted to General Lee
Also, we have the satisfaction to report ths
surrender Of rebel brigade, 1000 strong, tt
the commander Of the post at Cumberland
Gap, on the 2Sth inst.
Thus has the rebellion been frittered away
until there is mol longer force in arms against
the Government east of the Mississippi, OK
cepting small body under the command o
Taylor, which by this time has captulated' o
been cut to pieces. 1t is therefore clea
case, that the Chivalry are in reality icon
quered people" Notwithstanding their ante
cedents, and that it only remains to reinstat'
our authority in Texas, to finish the work, 81
patiently and successfully prosecuted againa
rebels and their sacred rights" We ar
now satisfied that few days at most will en-
able the Government to announce the pleal
ling intelligence, that the rebellion is thorough
ly subjugated, and all the forts, arsenals an
public arms taken by the enemy, are re-po'
sessed.
