. Tue Terms or, SHenman.—The recent ‘news from Sherman was received by none swithout. astonishment, and -all °loyal men ead the terms which he offered the rebel _Jobnston, whose-army he held in his grasp, With feelings of indigiétion; that's Union General, whose reputation was as bright as any upon: the page of history, and whose valor-has made his name a household word thougliout the land, should propose terms to traitors which would disgrace vur Government and humblethe American name through out the world. The terms offered by Sher; man toJohuston could net bave been. in dorsed by the Administration without surrendering‘all we have been fightingfur, and as Sherman entered. into negotiations ipon political matters, he assumed the right of disobeying explicit instructions from the President. Stanton in giving his instruc: tions to Grant said: “He (the President) . instructs me to-say,that you are not to de. gide, discuss—or—confer-upon any—political question. Such questions the President holds in his own hands, and will submit theni to no military conferences or conven+ ~=tions.” “In obedience to this instruction ~ Grant aceepted the surrender of Lee’s army. Sherman. was instructed to offer-the-terms . accepted by Lee to Johnston, but in direct disobedience to the above orders to Grant, he proposed to conclude the war and settle all political questions at issue. According’ to his terms, forty-eight hours notice was to be given befuro the resumption of hostilities. The rebels were td-be permitted to carry their arms to their respective State capitals,vach to file an agreement t obey the State * gad Nationat mithority. He attémpted to bind the National Government, to recognize the State governments, their officers and Legislatures, upon their taking the oath, ‘and Where two Legislatures existed to leave the matter to the Supreme Court. The rebele: were to be permitted to enjoy the rights of person and property, including the right ‘tohold slaves we suppose, undisturbed by t authority. General Sherman assumed the-right of closing the war by giving the best possible terms to the’rebels. Had they been furnished the blank paper upon ‘which to write the terms, they could not have demanded more than they Were offered. At the time this was done be cannot-be excused _ upon the ground of necessity, for ha-had the . army of Johaston in his power. Lee had given up the contest and could not aid the rebel army of North Carolina. Sherman could have crushed Johnson and added fresh and brighter laurels to his already great name. But for some unknown reason the ‘wagacity of Sherman wes at fault, and he suffered himself to fall a victim to the strat~ egy of Johnston. He suffered Davis to eseape and opened the door by whieh Johnston could get away. Had not the Government promptly . repuiliated the proposed terms and sent Grant to asaume. control in North Carolitia the result would have been. . serious, butas itis, cun only seoure a delay of @ few days. Taking the most favorable view of Sherman's conduct he has shown -bithself'totally incapable as a negotiator.— But how much confidence. will be inspired by the prompt action taken by the Govern. ment ia this matter. The President, his eotire Cabinet and the Lieutennnt Genera) promptly repudiated the terms, showing that it matters not how high may be the name @ad fame of a man, he must be removed if attempts to compromise the honor of the mation, This last act will teach rebels that the Government is not. to be trifled with, While it will assure friends that the strong arm of authority will be used to punish those who have attempted to destroy the nation. one >. « ium Courr House, Gaovnps.—The ‘Brounds ground the Court House now preseut a beautiful appearance. The. seed 4own some. time ago has sent forth its blades of grass, and the lot is now elothed in a magnificent suit of green.” The locust trees will soon be “in leaf” and will add greatly te the already. fine appearance of the surNw hy Joseph Beebe and. C. H. Wilkintoanorrow night. It will be wilancingshouldattend. =e ~ Ss. Yildioasd bade a sone noteras, * nomen: A A A thet ae fs Gitizéts meeting, to be held at the Methodist Church, “il be largely attended, in order that a fair expression of the wishes of the people may be obtained. At no time was it more’ necessary that good business men should be selected for Trustees than now. If the finanees are properly managed the ‘corporation will not owe a dollar on the first day of December next. The -taxeswill belight-and ouf @itizens will enjoy all the benefits of the city government without being heavily burdened. We doubt if there is-a-city-in the State which is so nearly clear, of debt as Nevada. In addition to this we want a Board of Trustees who will use every possible meansin order to. secure a thorough and efficient organization of the Fire Department. The dry season is rapidly approaching and.we should be prepared to meet, the fiery element. A little energy directed to the reorganization ‘of the Fire Department may save an immense loss of property. Other matters of-equal . importance will be brought before the Trustees, and the very best men in the. city should be selected for the office, There citizens will come out. ~~But if our business men and good citizens ‘permit the meeting to go by defanlt, and a few who havo their own selfish purposes to secure to control its action, who can tell the damage which will result to the ¢ity. We hope that every man who desires ‘fo see good government and prosperity in this city will be on hand to night and ‘exert himself in securing this desirable end. Lj ee 4 Eastern News.—Secretary Seward is reported free from pain and stronger. His recovery seems to be assured. _ Stanton announces that the War Departmént has information that the conspiracy for the assassination Of President Lincoln was organized in Canada and approved at Richmond. “Itis said to be ascertained that Booth had his leg fractured by his horse falling on-him on the night of the murder, and is probably concealed somewhere in Maryland. President Johnson has delivered another important address, indicative of stern and radical policy. Arrangementi have been made to prosecute the war with overwheluning energy. NG Jeff. Davis at last accounts crossed the Mississippi river at Tucker's Bend, trying to get away to Texas. He has half a mitlion in specie with him. — tomar: 5 ~ BEAL AND BAKER.—We learn that these two men, whe were lately convicted of the murder of Delaney, says the Eugene City Review, have madé a confession of their guilt. Their confession. implicates sevear! others, and the greatest excitement has pre-. vailed in Salem since the 12th, the day on Which the confession was made public. The main facts of the confession are not yet made public: It is suid that the Sheriff has in charge two or three men who are implicated m the murder as accessories after the fact. Some interesting. developments may be looked for, — hth CusToms.+—The receipts for duties at the Custom-house from the 13th tothe 2Uth inst., inclusive, amount to $60,354 30, making a total for April of $177,923 86, and since Junuary Ist of $2,103,997 94. a _————eE__ ee TO THE TRUSTEES OF PLEASANT VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT. ~ Notice is hereby given to the.
