Bui the darkev, who bdn't the means to fork ov r, was, at lt advices, arguing the case, and urging exce.Mifc chxrgf, ic. RrDucTio.t or Wauu. We understand that two of our railroad companies, the Terre Haute and the Cincitnati, have reduced the compensation of the laborers they employ twenty five cent a dav from $1 65 to $1 40 a day. The, machine hps have reduced the wape? of their hands, from thi dtte, fifty cent a dar The retton of th'n i the diminished demand and j rices of their products. The upply of labor is also greater than the demand, and thi is having its eli'er t in the reduction of wnges. Thi move rnit!t Ins caused considerable excitement among the mechanics and laborers, and we understand meetings have been held by them t devise ome mettia lor a. general reduction of prices, ?o as to correspond with tho diminic hed coropetwation for Ub )r. But few articles of family consumption and use Lave yet fallea in price njatrrially. Ret.t are as high as they have been, and the cost of living is nearly the same as when the highest wagte were paid for labor. How ctn the disparity be reconciled? Not by resolutions of puMio mtetiua that one shouM correspond w ith the other. The eU'Uen stop pipe ol the war au 1 the va-t expenditure of money which it occasioned must necesstrily derant!f business affairs for awhile, and cau-e a ' od de 1 1 of i nconvenience, if not suffering This c mnot be avoided, and the people will he compelled to adapt themselves to the changed circumstances With the reduction in wages, prices generally must come down, but the former will decline mora rapidly than the Utter The only remedies we can suggest are Mrict economy and a general determination to be as generous towards each other as possible. Let the landlord reduce his rents, the merchant his profits, and the farmer the price of his products to ih. lowest possible joist, until the bu-ine-". of the countrv has htd opportunity to adtpt itself to the changed condition of affairs, which we feel confident will only require a btief period, then the burdens of the tim will be distributed, and not fall disproportionately upon those least ab!e to bear them.

Shermtn. in reference to b4 operations against General Johnston, aod bis Legotutions and agreements with that General, will be officially published to morrow. The following is an abstrsct covering the most important poiuts of the documents. The first is a dispatch from Gan. Shermae to Gen. Graut, is follows:

HaatQ'aa Mil Div or tbk Mi.Miasirn Is Tut riitD, RaLtion. N. C, Apul 2i. ltC3. GtKKAi.: Since yoa left yesterday I have teo the New Yoik Times o! tbe 2?ih, containing a bcdgel ol mihury news, authenticated by the signature of the Secretary ot War, which is grouped ia uch a way s to gie a very erroneous impreMon. It embraces a copy ut the ba.-ii ot ag-eement bctwieu tnyelf and (ien. John ston ot April lefib, with commentaries which it will be time enough two or three years hence, after tbe Government has experimented a little xoore io machinery, by whicü power reaches the shattered peopte ol the fast area of country known as the South; but io the meantime I do think that my rank, if cot past services, entitled iae at lent U ihs respect of keeping secret what waa known to none but tbe Cabinet until further inquiry could hare been made, instead of giving publicity to documents I never saw, acd drawing Intereoces wide of the truth. I never f aw, or had lurai'bed roe, a copy of Mr Lincolu s dispatch to you of the 3d of March uutil alter the agreement. Sir. L. did not, cor Mr. Stanton, or any human being, erer convey to cne its iutetance, or armhine like it, but, on tbe contrary, 1 had seen (Jeu. Wentels invitation to the Virginia Legislature cade in Mr. LiDcolu'i very presence, and had failed to discover any other official bint of a plan ol reconstruction, or any idea calculated to allay the fears of the peole of the rtouth after the destruction of their armies and civil authorities would leave them without any Government at all. We should not drive a people into anarchy, and it is simply impossible for our military power to reach all the recesses of their unhappy country. I confess I did not wish to break Gen. Johnston's army into bind a ol armed men, roving about without purpose aud capable only of infinite mUcbiet. Put you said on your arrival that 1 had my army no disposed that bid escape was only possiole in a disorganized shape; and, as you did not choos a to direct military operations in this quarter, I inter you were satisfied with the military situation. At all events, the instant I learned, what was preper enough, the disapproval ot the President, I acted in euch a manner as to compel the surrender of Geu. Johnston's wbolo army on the same terms you prescribed for (Jen. Lee's army when you had it Mirrounded and in vour absolute power. Mr. Stanton, in stating that my orders to (Jen. Stotiemsn were likely to result in the escape of Mr. Davis to Mexico or Europe, is in deep error. Stoueman wss not at Salisbury then, but had gone back to Statesrille. Davis was uppoed to be between us, and therefore Sconemau was beyond Li in. lij turning towards mc he was appioaching Davis, and had he joired me us ordered, 1 would have a mounted force, greatly needed Icr that and other purpoej. But evea now I do not know that Mr Stanton wants Davis caught; aad as my official dispatches, deemed f acred, re hastily published to the world, it will be imprudent lor me to state what has been done in that respect. As the editor of tbe Times has, it may be logically and Jairly drawn Irota this singular document, the conclusion that I am insubordinate, 1 cau only deny the intention. 1 have never in my life questioned or disobeyed an erder, though many and tnauy a time have I risked my life, my health and reputation, in obeying orJcr or even hints to execute plans aud purposes uot to mv liking. It is not fair to withhold from me plans and policy, if any there be, and expect me to guess at them, for facts aud events appe.r quite different trom d.flVrent stand-points, For lour jeais 1 have been in camp dealing with soldiers, and 1 can assure you that the conclusion at which the Cabinet airivedwith euch singular unanimity, differs Irotn mine.

It is true, that non-combatants, who sleep in comfort and tecunty, whilst we watch in the distance, are better able to jude than we poor soldiers, who rarely see a new.pupcr, can hardy hear trom onr (amtlies or atop long enough to get our pay. -I envy not tbe task of reconstruction, and am delighted that the Secretary has relieved me of it. As you did not undertake to assume the management of affair of this army, I inter that on personal inspection your mind arrived at a dif ferent conclusion from that of the Secretary of War. 1 will tberelore go on and execute your orders to their conclusion, and, when done, will, with intenae satisfaction, leave to tbe civil authorities the execution ol tbe task of which they seem to me eo jealous; but, as an honest man and eoldier, I invite tbem to follow my path, tor they may see some things aud bear some things that may disturb their philosophy. VTith 6ifiCere respect, W. T. SlIkJLMAN, Major General Commanding Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant, Gcneral-in-Chitf, Washington, D C. P. S. As Mr. Stanton's singular paper, his been published I demand that ibis also be made public, though I am in no manner responsible to the press, but tj the law and my proper superiors. W. T. SuiSMAX, Major General Commanding. Under date of City Point, Virginia, May U;h, General Sherman forwards a detailed report of his operations Ircm April Ut, to which time it appears they bad been brought down io previous reports, lie says: At that time all were busy in repai;ing the wear and tear ot our then recent bard march from Savannah, and replenishing clothing and stores necessary for a lurthcr ;ro gress. 1 had previously, by letter and in person, notified the Lieutenant General commanding the armies of the failed States, that the lUth of April would be the earliest possible moment at which be could hope to have my things in readi ness, and we were compelled to ue our railroads to the very highest possible limit, in order to fulfil that promise. Owing to a mistake the Railroad Department iu sending locomotives and cars of a wrong guage, the four foot eight and a half inch guage already in North Carolina, with such ot their old stock as wss captured by Major General Terry at Wilmington, nd on his way up to Goldboro, had to be used. Yet euch ju Ji c ous u?e was made of these, and such industry displaced in the railrord management by Generals Eattons and Betkwith, snd Colonel Wright aud Mr. Voudyte, that by the 10th of April our men were alt teclad, the wagons reloaded, and a lair amount of forage accumulated ahead. In the meantime. General 3:oneman operating Irom Tennessee with a Division of Cavalry, remaned and destroyed the railroad about Greensboro, North Carolina, and had pushed along to Salisbury and extended the break in the road to Catawba bridge This was latal to the armie ot Lee aLd Johnston, who depended ou thitrjad lor supplies, and as their ultimate lines of retreat. He also details the operations of Geu. Wilson, with bis cavairy Corp, which also co-operated effectually in carrying out the grand combina tiou. lie received news of the battles about Petersburg, April 6 His purpcee bad been to move rapiily northward, leigning on Itaieigh, and striking traifht tor Iturkeaville, thereoy in terposing between Joht:iun and Lee, but the ausp!c:ot.B events in Virginia had cbacged the hoie military f roblem. Iu the exprtss langusge of Lieutenant General Grant, the Confederate armies it Lee and Johnston became the suagelic poiui. General Grant ws lully able to uke ctre of tbe former, acd my task was to capture or'destroy the latter. Johnston at that time 'April Cib) bad bis army weil in band, Smittfieid interposing between me and Ktleigb. 1 eotimned bis iniantry and artillery at thirty five thousand, and bis cavalry at Irom til to ten tboussnd. He was superior to me in cavalry . and thea I hld Geueral Kdpat rick in reserve at Moutt 01 ve, with orders to re cruit his horses and be retdv to mte a tuddeu and rapid march on the lUin of April. He then goes on to detail bis own movements and those of the enemy up to April 14th. These

bare already; beea substantia!! published. Jobni ton's army wss retreating rapidly on tbe roads from Hillsbcro to Grceciboro, be himself beng at Greetiroro, alth ich oat of plaew aa to tlae. I here invite all n.ihury critics who s:uiy the problems of war to tke their maps acd compare the position of my arm on the' 15ib and 16ih of April with that of Gen. Ualleck: about Burkesville and Petersburg on tbe 26th of April, when, according to his telegram u Secretary Sun too, be offered to relieve me of tbe task of cutting c!f Jobnston' retreat MajCT Gen. Stocemaa at tte time was at Si!tcrville, and Johnston's only line el reueat wa by Salisbury and Charlotte It may be that Geo. Halleck's "trocps can ont march mine, but there is nothing in their past history to show it; or it may be that Gea. ilalleek can inspire his troops with more energy of action. I doubt that also, save and except in this single instance: When he knew the enemy was read? to surrender or disperse, as advised by my letter of April 15th, addressed to him when chief of staff, at Washington city, and

delivered into his hands on the 21?t lost, by Major Hitchcock, of mv st.ff. He (Shermsn) met Johnston, May ICtb, as arranged. The interview was frank acd soldierlike. General Johnston gave him to understand that further war on the part of the Confederate troops was folly; that the caue was lot; and that every life saennced after tbo surrender of LeeV army would be the highest possible crime, lie admitted tbe terms conceded to Geueral Lee were migcasfmoui acd all he could ak, but wanted some concessions that would enable him to allay the natural fears and anxieties of bis folowrrs, and enable him to maintain his control over them until they could be got back to their homes. He also wanted to embrace in some general proposition the fate of all tbe Confederate armies that remained ia existence. I never made any such conception as to his own army, or rmutned to deal authoritatively ia regard to. any other, but it did t-ecm to me that tbere wit9 presented a chance for peace that might be deemed valuable to tbe good of tbe United btates. and was at lcat worth tbe few days that would be consumed. In reference to pushing an armv whose commander had so frankiv and hon estly conferred bis inability to cope with me, it were cowardly and unworthy the brave men I led. As General Johnston did not feel authorixei to pledge his rower over the armies in Texas, they adjourned till the text day. Gen. Sherman re turned to Kaleigb arid consulted with his officers every one of whom urged bim to conclude the terras that might accomplish soue.irable an end. They met again the Isth and returned to and renewed the conversation. All dreaded the weary, laborious march after a fugitive and dissolving army back towards Georgia, the very country where we had tarried so long. There was but one opinion expressed, and if contrary ones were entertained, they were withheld, or indulged in only by that clas who shun the fii;ht and the march, but are loudest, bravest, and fiercest when danger is past. 1 again met General Johnston on the lwth, and we reuewed the conversation. He satisScd me then of his power to diband the rebel armits in Alabtma, Mis-issippi, Louisiana, and Texas, as well as those of his immediate command, namely: North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, and Florida. The points on which be expressed ct-pecial solicitude were lest thoe States were to be dismembered and denied representation in Congresä, or any separate political existence whatever; and that absolute disarming of his men would leave the South powerless and expoped to the depredations of wicked banda of as8o-ii)8 and robbers. President Lincoln's menage of lbÜ4, bis amnesty ptoclamation and Geu 'Grant's terms to Gen. Lee substantially extending the benefits of that proclamation to all officers above the rank of Colonel and the invitation to the Virginia Legislature to reassemble in Richmond by Gen Weitzel, with the approval ot the President n4 Gen. Grant, then on the spot; a firm belief that I had been fighting to re establish tbe Constitu tion of tbe United States, und last and not least, the general and universal deaire to close a war any longer without organized re staLce, were the laading facts that iuduced me to pen the in eine -randum of April ldth, signed by myself and Gen. Johnston. It was designed to be and so ex pressed on its face as a mere basis for reference to the President of the Uuited States and Cou stitutional Commander-in-Chief, to enable him, if he chose, at one blow to destroy the military power of the Confederacy which bad threatened the national safety for four years. It admitted of modification, alterations and change; it had no appearance of an ultimatum, und by no fake reasoning can it be coi.tttuid inluausurpatiou cf power on my part. I have my opinion on the questions involved, and wili ftand by the memorandum; but this forms no part of a military report. The r.ewnol President Lincoln's, assaagination of the 14th of April, wrongly reported to me by telegraph as having occurred on the 1 1th, reached me on the 17th, and wag announced to my command the ame dav , in special field orders No. 56 1 was duly impressed with its horrible atrocity and probaole effect upon the country; but when the property and interests of millions still living were involved, I saw no good reason to change my course, but thought ratber to manifest real respect lor his memory by following, after his death, that policy which, if living, 1 felt certain he would have approved, or at least not rejected with disdain. Up to that hour I had never received one woid of instruction, advice, or counsel, as to the plan or policy of the Government, looking to a restoration of peace on tbe part of the rebel States of tbe South. Whenever aked for an opinion on the points involved, I bad always evaded tbe subject. My letter to the Mayor of Atlanta has been published to the world, and I wat not rebuked by the War Department for it. General Sherman then gives his ideas upon reconstruction, end refcra to interviews with Mr. Stanton, in which the latter appeared to approve of bis eentimeuts, and bad urged upon bim tbe importance of bringing tbe war to a close for financial reasons. On the24:h Major Hitchcock returned, accompanied by General Grant ind a member of bia staff, bringing information that the memorandum was disapproved, and orders to give at once tbe forty eight hours notice, and resume hostilities at the close of that time.

Judge Advocate Bingham objected to theques tion Mr. Ewing contended that the question waa pcrtioeut. Arnold had made a voluntary confession that tbere was a plan to capture tbe President, which Chester, in his testimony, corroborated. Tbe object in asking tbe question waa to show that Booth bad nobody in tbe theatre to affiist bim. An answer to the question was important, in justice to Spangler. Judge Advocate Bingham said this was cot a question of irrelev ancy, therefore Dot absolutely necessary to ask it. The Court sustained tte Assist ant Judge Advecate'a objection. John T Ford, manager ef the theatre was recalled; he was ihown tbe rope found in Spangler'i carpet bag, and etid it mi ght bare been used lor trapping or for other purposes; the witness was in Richmond when the assassination occurred.

Tbe Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald asserts, the news of opening recruiting offices in New York aud Washington created immense sensation. The Paris Moniteur refrains from any allusion to it. The geueral impression is that Napoleon will not ftand it, and will direct the French rquadron to intercept any reinforcements for Juarez. Strange rumors were current iu the stock exchange, London, on the 3ih, but though unconfirmed, bad a depressing effect. The most prominent was that Nspolcon bad been urgently recalled to Paris in consequence of a prospect of American aggressiou upou Mexico; also that Maximilian bad issued a pamphlet highly favorable to It al J, and declaring bis conviction that Italian unity was now firmly established. The Paris correspondent of tbe London Times says: There are two subjects of disquiet which make the Empress ard Ministers long for tbe return of the Emperor. Tbeee are recruiting offices for volunteers for Mexico, said to be opened in towns in the United Slates, and the opposition of the Committee of Chambers to the alienation of the State Forest The London Globe editorially remarks that Maximilian will be highly favored by fortune, and prove bis ability if be can vanquish tbe adverse circomitances which surround him The Globe tbinks Maximiliin's success is very doubtful, and hopes it wil Inot be the caue of a calam ity to the people.

He contended slavery was abol"bed, and the reconstructive policy of the Administration, as set forth in fbe Proclamation for the reconstruction ol; North Carolina, was the absolute surrender of :he hrlm nf iK TTr;nn into the hands of A.
