OUTLINING REBELs.-Gen. G. G. WASH
BURN, commanding the district of Memphis,
has issued an order reciting that further fght-
ing on the part of confederate soldiers with
in his district can only be from spirit OF
malice or robbery, and without hope of good
to the Confederate States; that few such
bands are yet in Tennessee, keeping TIE citi-
zens in q state of alarm, and, when captured,
claim to be confederate soldiers. He notifies
such that, if captured within his district af
ter the 25th inst, they will not be treated as
prisoners of war, but held for trial as felons
The order is not intended to discourage any
fir ON laying down their arms and taking the
amnesty oath, but declares that those in west
Tennessee who continue in open hostility shall
not be exchanged or allowed to take the am.
nesty oath when captured.

The New York Press on sherman.

We subjoin brief extracts from the New
York Dailies showing their views of the re.
cent extraordinary agreement entered into
by Gen. SHERMAN with the rebel chief JOHN.
sToN.
The Tribune (Republican) says:
We can hardly guess whether Johnston
was to surrender to Sherman, or Sherman TO
Johnston.
The Times ADMINISTRATION says
Johnston evidently believed himself die.
tating terms rather than receiving them, and
laying the basis of a new Government, based
on the theory of State rights, as absolute and
complete as Calhoun ever dreamed Of
Floyd, himself, never conceived a plan or
basis for rebellion superior to this. Sher-
mans act, viewed in its purely military bear
ing bearings, must be regarded as one of the
most dangerous insurbordinations."
The Herald Everything by starts and moth
ing long, says:
fisherman, distinguished as an admirable
soldier, has fatally compromised himself, we
fear, in entering the forbidden field of diplo-
macy as a peace maker. His splendid mill
tary career is ended, and he will retire under
a cloud from having undertaken to act outside
his legitimate sphere.
The World (copperhead) disapproves of
SHERMAN's course, but sharply rebukes Secre-
tary STANTON for assailiDg him so violently.
1t adds:
Government, with its intentions and COM
initials, could not have accepted Sherman's
plan of settlement, but it owed to his SER
vices and patriotic intentions to treat him
with more consideration and candor."
The Daily NeaOs (secesh) thinks SHERMAN
assumed too much authority, although it sees
no objection to the terms proposed.
THE Post (ReDublicanl says From JEFF
DAVIS down to his orderly sergeant, every
man is frankly forgiven, without penalty, on
the simple condition of getting home for the
present to repair damages, and recruit re-
sources for another future onslaught"
