HEADQUARTERS GEN. GRANT, NEAR VICES
BURG, Friday, July IS p. MAT eight this
morning flags Of truce appeared before A.. j..
Smiths front, when Major General Bowen and
Colonel Montgomery were led biinafolded into
our lines. They bore communication from
General Pemberton of the following purport.
although feel confident of my ability to
resist your arms indefinitely, in order to stop
the further effusion of blood, I propose that you
appoint three commissioners, to meet three
whom shall select, to arrange such terms as
may best accomplish the result"
General Grant soon replied substantially in
these words:
"The appointment OF commissioners is I'M
necessary. While should be glad to stop any
unnecessary effusion OF blood, the only terms
which can entertain are those of uncondi-
tional surrender. At the same time, myself
and men and officers in this army, are ready to
testify to the distinguished gallantry with
which the defense OF Vicksburg has been con-
ducted.''
At eleven o'clock the messengers returned.
This afternoon General Grant met General
Pemberton between the lines, and after an
hours consultation settled the surrender.
General PembertOn urged that the soldiers
might be paroled here, and furnished rations to
carry them to their lines. In view of the bra
very tn ey have displayed and the advantages
OF the plan, Gen Grant will consent. The
number of prisoners, wounded, &c, it is said,
will be eighteen thousand, of which twelve
thousand are. in fighting condition now. The
immediate cause of surrender is exhaustion of
supplies and ammunition, and the failure of
Johnston 10 come to their aid. At daylight
our whole army will enter triumphantly and
celebrate the double glorious anniversary. Not
a shot has been fired since eight o'clock from
our lines, except from the river nortars. A
general interchange OF ciyiiiies extend all along
the lines,

DISPATCH FROM JEFF. DAVIS TO
LEE CAPTURED,

Capt Cline, of the Sd Indiana cavalry, on
the 1st of July, accompanied by Capt. Dahl
green and . men, in their late gallant dash
into Greencastle, Pa, captured Lees private
orderly and his entire escort, who had very
together with orders to Lees various Generals,
muster and pay rolls, and other army matter
The most important OF these dispatches was
letter from JEFF. Davis to Lee, and showed the
weakness, of the latter, and had q favorable
effect upon the results which followed the bat
tie of Gettysburg. The following are some of
the points contained iii the letter, which is dated
Richmond, June 29:-Davis feared that his
raid into Pennsylvania was a great mistake. 1t
was an error TO suppose the army of the Pcto-
mac had been so reduced by the discharge of
two years and nine months men as to make
victory an easy matter. Accessions to our army
by new troops and militia were three times
greater than our losses.
These facts, when the expedition was
planned, were unknown. 1t was utterly I'M
possible to organize reserve army at Culpep-
CT, as Lee had suggested, owing To the fact that
ID. w. Hills command had been largely re-
duced by reinforcing other points, and it was
Btauregard'S command. Horses were needed
Johnston could not succeed against Grant
without them, and Davis had fears for the fate
OF flckSburg. Davis was sorry that he could
not forward money to Lee.
The 9uartermaster General tells Lee that ne
