, WHAT GRANT'AND SHERRAN nAID.
It is reported that Gens. SHERMAN
and GBA NT stated that the Southern
soldiers have made a gallant fight and
deserve the most butiorable ternms, and
that if they were not granted honorable
terms the war would .-be ifterminable.
'That honorable terms'should be granted
them, and that if they were not, they
(SmERMAN and GRANT) iwoidd diaband
their armies, and ead their men home.
What gives credibility to this is that the
truce has been resumed for ten days.
[The above may be relied upon,, as
we get ' a etleman whose ve
racity' cannot be questioned, from" the
fact that he is in a position to know
what has been,related.-Eb:Ton Nawe.]
