THB GRAND FINALE!
|URRENDER OF GENERAL LEE
With the Remnant Of his Army
HE WAR VIRTUALLY ENDED

Since the defeat Of Gen. Lees army near Peters
|rg, on Sunday Ia>t and the vigorous pursuit
his demoraIized and fugitive forces by
Union troops under the command Of
eueenant General Grant, no event of the war
s been anticipated with more certainty than the
innate surrender Of the Army of Northern
irginia."
The anticipation has been realized, and the peo-
J, North and South, who have forged for the re-
eraton of Peace may now rejoice at the prospect
an early r.ation of their hearts desire.
rhe surrender of General Lee and his army is
ptamount to an end of the Rebellion and the ter.
nation of the war.
We are indebted to Hon. c. A. Dana, Assistan
Icretary of War, for the subjoiheo official state
ent OF the surrender
some correspondence with regard to the surren-
T of Gen. Lees army took place on the S;h in
lut, and on Sunday letter was addressed by
bn. Grant TO Gen. l. ee, as follows:
b Genersl-In accordance with the substance Of

ceiye the Surrender Of the Army of Northern
rgiuia on the following terms, to wit
Rolls Of the officers and men to be made in du-

As railroad property is not taxed by the State,
the valuation Of this class Of property does no; ap

1t is proper to remark that the annexed figures
