To such persons as are in arms against
the confederate states of America. do
hereby tender absolute amnesty on con-
dition that they forthwith desist from an

SURRENDER OF LEES ARMY.

There has been no so important militia
ry event during these four years of war
and blood as that which happened on
Sunday last-the surrender of Lee and
the armies Of Northern Virginia to Gen.
Grant and the army of the Potomac.
With the capital of the so-called confede-
racy in the hands of the National author
tiles, with the bravest and best appointed
army they have ever raised, prisoners of
war, with their best military leader and
their strongest representative men so
completely beaten and baffled as to quiet
ly acquiesce in the terms of surrender
named by his conqueror, the rebellion is
is practically ended. It's force and vital
ity are gone, and we shall no longer fear
or dread its military strength 1t is an
achievement great and grand, and no prai-
SEES are too strong to award to the officers
and men, who in this glad hour, find
more than full reward for all their tolls.
The army of the Potomac, from lieutenant
general to drummer boy, has claims upon
this republic that can can never be over
paid.
The days Of darkness and doubt are
over; the days of gladness and victory
have come. We accept this grand offer
ing ofour victorious army with full hearts,
and thank God that in the days of our
republics sorest trial He raised up such
brave and worthy defenders.
1t has not been a priceless victory.
There arc vacant chairs and sad hearts ev-
erywhere, but the victory and the joy are
for all. We honor the living heroes; we
more than honor our fallen braves. They
have vindicated our nationality, and have
secured an honorable and righteous peace
for their country.
