General Sherman.

The country will receive with feelings
of the most profound regret, the news of
Gen. Sherman's arrangement with Gen.
Joe johnson, commanding the rebel for
ces in his front. 1t cannot be called a
surrender, unless a surrender of every
thing honorable on our part to the rebels,
except the army itself. Hitherto Gen.
Sherman, has stood in the front rank in
the estimation of the people; and we re-
gret, for the sake of his good name, that
he has permitted himself to be so horri-
bly, overslaughcd by the wiley Rebel lea
ders.
At no time, we verify believe, within the
last two years, would the rebels have hes
itated a moment at receiving just such
terms as Sherman has given them; and
we'll they might, for they would have
been receiving, as reward for their treach-
cry and for the evil which they have in
Aictcd upon the country, all that they
could ask, save the acknowledgement Of
their independence. Itgives them the priv
ilegc of going to their homes as discharged
veterans, rather than as prisoners Of war;
it guarantees them against being called to
account either in person or property for
their crimes, and it places them in posi-
ton to rule, in the future, as they did in
the past, for the ruin of the best country
under heaven. Thank God there is a
power behind stronger than the power
which did this wicked thing, and that
power has promptly repudiated the ini-
quity, and sent Grant to remedy the evil
done, by vigorously pressing the Rebels
to an unconditional giving up of their
treason In another column we give the
official report of Sherman's arrangem cnt,
as well as the official Reputation Of it by
President johnson and his Cabinet. We
believe this is Shermans first attempt at
Diplomacy. We hope for his own sake,
and the sake of the country, that it may
be his last.
1t is said that the Indignation exhibit
ed by Sherman's troops, on receipt of the
news of the arrangement was of the most
startling character. Little less startling
was the indignation expressed by the 10y
al North. For the moment the people
were stunned by the enormity of Sher-
mans folly, but that soon gave way to an
expression of opinion by no means COM
plimentary to one who has hitherto been
looked upon as standing in the front rank
of loyalty and patriotism.

Rumor of JEFF Dayis's Escape.

1t is rumored that JEFF Davis crossed
the Mississippi River at Turkey Bend
which was occupied by Texas cavalry, on
the night of the 10Th, escaping the OBJ
scrTation of the Naval forces; and it is
given as the opinion of well informed
gentlemen that he will be able to organ
ize a force of 10000 men in that State
with which he will move into Mexico, in
the event of being pressed by the United
States. Doubtful all around.

Going Home.

The funeral cortege, with the Presi-
dents remains, which left Washington, on
Friday last, is slowly vending on its way
to the last resting place, in Springfield,
Illinois. At all points along the route
large crowds assemble, and by the unccy-
cred head, and other demonstrations of
sorrow, show their respect for the deceas-
ed, and their coincidence for the bereaved
living. In all the prominent cities along
the road a rest is taken, when funeral
honors, in form, are bestowed upon the
remains. Truly, we are nation Of
mourners.

Gates that they intend holding this place, no mat

A skirmish of considerable proportions took place
to-day, between one of Gen. Clusters brigades and
the enemy, in which the 18th Connecticut Volun-
teers and 9th Massachusetts, were nearly all cap
tured The former had recently been filed up TO
the maximum standard, whereby we lose about
900 good men. The casualties were few, but no
names can be reported at present. The force here
is much larger than is generally supposed, and Is
considered fuzzy competent TO perform any task
likely to be assigned to it. The roads are almost
impossible and rain falling in torrents Gen. Seho-
