DETAILS OF THR sURRsNnER. rogs3 O.
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 seemedipartichlarly pleased to meet
again, after lapse OF so many years.
They were old friends in the navy Colonel
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, dashed to an aithea twig with
white cotton thread, emblematic of the
straits to which the people of the rebel
ious States have been reduced.
Gen. Candy used plain goose quill.
I 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 CITY.
Dispatches were sent to Oorinth by way of
Meridian, where q, break of eight miles only
interrupts through communication. This
gap will be filled before Monday, after
which Mobile viii be in direct communities
ton with all points North and East. As
one of the fruits of the settlement oil
affairs in this section, its Importance cannot
be overlooked.
