Wo publish iu another column Mr. KwiSo'm letter, upon what has been called Sherman's mistake. Kwing is unable to discover in what tho mis-take consists.

Those journals which havo spoken of Sherman's action as a mistake, understood tho mistake to be iu agreeing to terms which wcie out of harmony with the temper of (he people mid (he purpose ol tho Government. If Sherman attempted to arrange terimi laeceptublo to tho people and tho Geverwmont, then ho made a mistako, ftirho (onus were not ap proved, Our defenco Sherman from the first bus been I.

Wu notice ItirlhiT that indictments have been found in l'eiisylvaniii ai'aiiiBt certain rebel ollicera who ac-eomiiiiiiod Leo lo Gettysburg, for murder and arson. AIho that thu rebel Kxehange Commissioners Ould and Hatch have been arrested for misap proirialing siiplius and money sent to our prisoners.

Jeff Davis should bo arrested by Virginians and tried 1 burglary, for he is now fleuing with tlio gold taken from the Virginia banks.

Nevertheless, in all the' say, wo notice tho old insolence am' arrogance breaking out. General Lec says that tho war was to settle the Stale Sovereignly question, and it has been settled against them; I hit I.

Jeff. Davis is no more to hlamo than any other rebel, and that the Government should forglvu the rebels, or they wi I continue tho war. JIo talks id' rebellion as though il were a very slight mistake which ihvy made, and which oulit not lo olVend nny body very much. They haio the effrontery' lo think that they should he allowed to return with all their fi rmer rights aid fr.iuchi cs, and have the old e.nideni-lion shown llieui; General Kwell has w.ilteii a letter to General Grant denouncing tho assassination, and feeling very nint shocked that the people should connect 'Smillifni men" with it. Ila would bo ashamed of the nilh did she not reprobate Iho crime.

This will do to beg oil' with, lint the tact is, (hat the Southern people did advise tho assassination of Lincoln, that before his first inauguration it was boldly talk id of in public speeches, iu newspapers, and in public and private invcisalion, and that tho plot was laid lo assassinate him on his way to Washington Tho memory of peoplo is not ho bad that they havo forgotten this in lour years. Tho thing has been threatened and talked of during tho whole war, not only by rebels but by Northern Copperheads, and it is a little surprising that the peoplo were so much astounded at the deed us they were. At a meeting ol Southern men held in Memphis, on tho 1st. instant, the following resolution was adopted: That tho United States ought lo bo as magnanimous to torgive as sho is powerful to punish, ami wo recommend umuosly, repeal of con lis-cation, and removal ol civil disabilities." powerful government! (), soft snap! Ol course, repeal (he confiscation laws and remove all civil disabilities, and set tho rebels up again, lo domineer, and lo corrupt tlio nation. Heaven save us from that.

The peoplo aro looking" anxiously Tor this document, ami we have no doubt it will bo read with interest. It belongs to the history of tho and is another instance in the long catalogue of persecutions for opinion's oako. Eitqlc. There is a cool impudence in Iho above which reminds us forcibly of the Southern rebels.

They seceded, organized a Government, raised an wont to war, and all iho timo had the effrontery to charge us with making war upon Thomoaning of tho above is that the Ohio Legislature persecuted Judgo Van Trump' for opinion's Jsake, when the fact is, that a political friend of Judge an Trump, and one who al 1 yotoJ with and worked for tho party, 'and wdio mado Shislcr Sheriff of the county, had a complaint 'presented to tho Legislature, charging tho Juilgo wilh secretly consulting with a fugitive from justice, and with conduct and languago unbecoming a udgo. Tho Etujh: calls this persecution for opinion's snko. It cannot mean that tho complainant persecuted the Judgo for opinion's sake, for they agree in their opinions. It means, of course, that the Ohio Legislaluredid tho persecuting. There is a coolness and impudenco in this which would bo sublimo if it wcro not ridiculoi s.

Wo fail lo see the persecution. The complainant, Charles Miller, sworo lo tlio main statements of the complaint, but Samuel Lantz very conveniently could'rit remember anything about it. His, stuck until ho reached tho corroborating point, and then, oh base- treachery left him suddenly. The ''report1 of tho Legislative Com'-millee liilei in Ihnt, so fnr as ihi'ij had ij-)i, there was not soflicieut in tho evidence to justify the removal of Judgo Van Trump. 'i are rather sorry that the caso did not go further, Jf Van Trump is innocent, wu should like to havo bis innocence established and if guilty bo should bo punished.

Mr. Miller is not to bo condemned by Ihoso for whom he has worked in Iho party, us guilty of false swearing. lie has had Iho honesty to denounce several of tho Judgo's decisions us partisan, and wo do not like to havo him choked ojT without a further hearing.

Our readers will remember that during tho campaign of last fall, tho friends of President Lincoln wcro frequently told that they might elect him a second time, but ho would ntvrr scrne a Irrm. That his assassination was so-riously contemplated and approved by thousands of tho Knights of tho Golden Circle, wo havo no doubt whatever. The article from tho National Union concludes ns follows "Who, then, we ask again, in nr. dcred President Lincoln J'lach loyal heart responds "Thu traitors ill home!" Yes, tho traitors ut home, supported by disloyal and venial press, which hurled its maledictions at "Lincoln, the tyrant," "Lincoln, the usurper" 'Lincoln, tho author of tho war," "Lincoln, tho dcsolator of homes," and "Lincoln, tho murderer of men and children." llavewugono loo far in I his enumeration ol opprobiotis cpilhels hurled ngaiiist our murderer President when in the flesh Not a whit.

this condition of things, the two Generals met and discussed not only the surrender of the nrmy under Johnston, but tho other Rebel forces in tho South puu West, in tho expressed hope that they might save further effusion of As tho proposed action, except as far ns concerned forces under tho command of each was beyond their they agreed to a suspension of hostilities, their armies romains ing in statu quo, until each could con-suit and obtain the instruetion-of those in power, Sherman, of course, that of the President, of the United States and his Cabinet, lie rcportod at once, and -reojived- instructions to confiuo himself to tho mero military surrender of tho robol troops in bis power. Ho accordingly received the surrender of Johnston wjith his 27,000 men with their arms and munitions of war, precisely' what ho would havo dono bad tho Cabinet directed him not to negotiate, but without nnyntUmpt to excito a public clamor. This is nil Sherman did and till bo proposed to do until bo should receive instructions from the Deportment. Ho held Johnston and his nrmy firmly, ho lost no advantage which bo could havo gained had he attacked Johnston immediately without negotiating, but saved no doubt tho effusion of blood. Now I am at a loss to find tho mistake.

Was it in the propositions which were sent to the President and Cabinet? '1 hey nro greatly misrepresented in the Secretary's Bulletin. But it is no matter what they were, they causo without authority, bliermau assumed nono, but simply sent the proposition to be passed upon' by tho Cabinet. Sigma," a very ablo writer in the Commercial, and ono who represents the caso fairly, is of opinion that tho propositions wcro themselves tho best praitical. It may bo so nnd probably is, but a year's experience will show us. Hut in this mailer General Sherman could hnnllvbe charged with thinking for himself.

The propositions sub milled were conceived in the spirit of Mr. Lincoln last speech, while Gen oral Sherman no doubt had scon ns it was in all tho public prints nnd there is no proof and indeed no pretence that he had seen Mr. Lincoln's instiuctions lo General Grant, with which tho pro positions are so elaborately contrasted in tho Secretary Bulletin. ho pro imoIiI.iiio l.o tlo bo.jt, or ilia worst possible, but in cither caso I have yet tearn that ihero was a mistake in making them known to tho President.
