Surrender to Gen. Sherman. The telegraph gives the particulars of negotiations between Generals W. T. Sherman and Joseph 13.

Lf.E. The terms exacted by Gen.

are bitterly denounced by blood-thirsty abolitionists and persons who are making money out of tho war but they aro approved of by tho conservative masses who want 1'caco and Union. Siikrman'h terms are substantially in accordance with all tho views ho has publicly expressed Mncc the commencement of tho rebellion, yet ho has undoubtedly assumed more authority than was delegated to him by tho Administration. Garrison and Thompson. Among tho distinguished visitors present at tho raising of the flag on rort Sumptor wcro W.m. Lloyd Gauuison and Okoiioe Thompson.

So far as the first-named gentleman is concerned, we can cntortain some respect for tho fierce and fearless fanaticism which, in conjunction with his eminent qualifications as an agitator, made him for years the leader of tho abolition party. He is the father of that party, and promulgated its doctrines when they were regarded as treasonable and malevolent. He braved obloquy, contempt, and mobs, to dissemi nate his idca. As a man, he had and has many estimable qualities, but as a subject of the government of tho United States, he was heart as great a traitor as tho most rabid and violent secessionist in Charleston who assisted iu the assault on Sumptor when IJEAUitroAMj opened his cannon against it. What has ho to do with tho raising of a Hag which symbolized the authoiity of a constitution he had denounced as "a league with hell and covenant with death His pros encc was an insult to tho nation to tho men who devised tho flag and framed our government; to tho memories of all who havo died in defending cither and to all who live and regard either with love and reverence.

As for tho Englishman Thompson, his hatred of tho Union sprang not from an impracticable but hinccro philanthropy, but was the hereditary hatred of a liriton, mindful of the defeat of his country by Americans, and unqualified by a noble, generous thought, llelefthisown countrymen slaves to want, ignoranco and degradation, tocomc hero and hypocritically whine and clamor over tho imaginary sufferings of our ncgroos. He tdtould bo an olu'ectof loathing to Ameri cans, and bo given clearly to understand that his presence in tho celebration of any national event is only tolerated becauso ho is too detpicablo to receive tho attention his U'cctmcnt would require. Death of Richard Cobden. The death of Richatui Coiiukn i.s a loss not merely to England, but to tho whole world, lie sprang fiom the people, and through all his life ho was their firm friend, their constant advocate. His sympathies wero not limited to the eau.so of rofonu in his own country, but reached (n tlio progress of democracy every where.

Particularly was Ibis tho case with respect to this conn- try and its institutions, both of which ho know by actual contact. His ideas wcro not houndodby tho littlo island of Groat Britain, but extended outward until they assimilated and sympathized with, and comprehended tho interest of, tho people ovory whore. Wcro we not so much absorbed iu our own national loss, wo should not only morn thoroughly appreciate tho death of Con-dkn, but we should also make tho event the occasion of universal icgrct. Imports and Exports. Our imports for tho year ending JunoHO, 1801, wore included in which aro frco merchandise ll.l'-ti.Slii!, and specio nnd bullion, These figures are given nt their foreign gold cost, duty and freight unpaid.

Our exports for tho samo period wore 3 ID.OnS.SSO, included in which woro $10.1, 7,10 in specie and bullion. Tho domestic products othor than specio in tho abovo figures aro reckoned in currency, and this fact will to fdiow how greatly tho balanco of trade was against us during tho last fiscal year. Our export ofspecioand bullion greater than in tho preceding year, and for that year it was omo $13,000,000 greater than iu 1857, when it was moro than in any year preceding 1803. President Johnson. Tho course foreshadowed by Mr.

Johnhon teems at tho veryoutset to bo likely to meet with formidable opposition. It seems dctei mined to hang all tho leaders; and among these leaders is General This ofiicer has, however, received tho promise of GltANT that lie shall not be disturbed as long as he observes tho laws of tho government. If General Lkk. bo interfered with. not only Giiant'h promise, but tho faith of tlio nation, will bo broken.

This fact will probably have hut littlo weight. Promises, tho faith of the government, tho constitution, aro all miinll mutters when compared with tho fierce desire of tho radical for vengeance.

Colonel IIjlX, commandant of JoIiiisou'h Island, says of tho rebel prisoners at that place, speaking of tho assassination of Lincoln In justice to thu prisoners let mo say right hero that before 1 had indicated my purpose iv un iiitiin, us tar as i count see, every one who had heard tho newu, of tho more tbttB'jyWO officers before me, appeared to i3MSressed and sorrowful over icli.il Imd occurred.

At tlio mouicnt that he utruclc Lincoln- ioak struck liim-e 1 Lincoln and Johnson. The New York papers aro publishing tho last public addresses of Mr. Lincoln and Mr.

Johnhon. An extract from each of these will give us not only a view of tho temper of tho men, but possibly will foreshadow tho future. Said Lincoln: "With. malice towards none, with charitv for all, with firmness in tho ni'ht. as (rod gives us to see the right, let us htrivo on to finish tho work wo aro in.

to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall havo borno tho battle and for his widowaud orphans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a lust and lasting peace among our-1 selves and with all nations." baid Mr. Johnson "Treason is the highest erimo known in catalogue of crimes: and for him that is guilty of it-fin- him that is willing to lift, his inijuous hand against tho authority of the nation 1 woultUay death is too casv a punishment. i iiouoii is tuai treason uiusi no maid i i i that traitors must bo iiunislied and inipoverislied, their eir social power broken, be made to the pen- s. Hence I av this I he though I hey must altyof their crimes, halter to intelligent, inlltioiitial traiton And thu.s Mr. Lincoln passes away, his last official utterance to the nation filled with a morcy that is childlike in its quality and magnitude.

And thus Mr. Johnson takes his place, with threats of vengeance still fresh upon his lips. The one has departed "with malice towards nono and charily for all tho other has come threatening death, punishment, hanging and impoverishment! in his train. The one is like tho now reve lation of Christ mercy, goodness and kind ness; the other like the old levelation, in which nations wcro exterminated and the fierce doctrines of an eyo for an eye and a tooth for a tooth were enforced to the utter most.
