The surrender of Lee was soon followed by like submission of the other rebel armies.
But Johnston, under instructions from the fugitive rebel government, attempted to gain from Sherman what Lee had failed to obtain fro lement of civil as well as military matters.
Sherman, less prudent than Grant, and anxious to secure peace, agreed with Johnston upon terms which confessedly exceeded his authority, and which assumed to settle some political questions contrary to th nds the fruits of his brilliant operations, and giving him the entire credit of enforcing and receiving the surrender of Johnston.
The great achievements by which he crushed the rebellion, and put an end to one of the fiercest wars of modern times

An English officer asserts that he met one of Gen. Johnston's aids in New York on Sunday, and that he personally knew him to be such.
The rebel spy — for he was nothing else — told the Englishman that Messrs. Davis, Beauregard, Lee and Co. consider their victory at Bull Run as a defeat, in comparison with what they expected and ought to have made it. They had their lines so skilfully arranged as to draw us within and beyond their flanks — to catch us in the most deadly kind of trap, attac ter, and, instead of going straight to the Junction, as had been positively ordered by Beauregard, he stopped the cars near the battle-field, formed his men in solid squares, and marched superbly to the ground.

Being attached to the Twenty-seventh regiment of Virginia Volunteers, forming part of tile brigade of General Jackson, in General Johnston's army, the company has shared in much severe service with credit to itself, and finally, at Manassas, proved itself equal to the rest of our heroes in the desperate struggle of the left wing.
The officers, Captain Daniel M. Shriver, First Lieutenant John S. Mitchell, and Second Lieutenant John B. Lady, led with great gallantry, and the men followed with the determined courage of veterans in a successful charge of their regiment and others on one of the enemy's batteries, after sustaining for hours a sto
