DETAILS OF THE suRRsNnER. ,:1g 81
The utmost good feeling was manifested
by the rebel officers towards the represent
atives Of our Government, and Commo-
dore Farrand and Lieutenant Commander
Myers seemed particularly pleased to meet
again, after lapse OF so many years.
They were old friends in the navy lColonel
Christensen, a. A. G., has shown US the
pens used in signing the terms of surren-
der That used by General Taylor was
steel point, lashed to an althea twig with
white cotton thread, emblematic of the
straits to which the people of the rebel
lious States have been reduced. ~1
Gen. Candy used plain goose quill.
Full particulars of the affair were tele-
graphed to Washington by Gel. Christen-
sen, and it is known that Secretary Stan.
| ton had received the intelligence prior to
the return of Gen. Candy to this oity.
Dispatches were sent to Corinth by way of
Meridian, where q, break of eight miles only
interrupts through communication. This
gap will be filled before Monday, after
which Mobile will be in direct communica-
ton with all points North and East. As
one of the fruits of the settlement o1
affairs in this. section, its Importance cannot
be overlooked.
