.e Herald's Washington special says
drant represents Lee % Jealous 10 his
efforts to stop further effusion Of blood, and
instead Of coming North, is urging oil other
commanders Of the Southern armies TO sur
render without further resistance. Lee con-
siders his work IS important as Grant did
his in coming to Washington to reduce the
expense Of the Government.
1t appears that messenger was sent to
inquire Of Grant whether the Government
would allow him to leave the country never
to return. Grants reply was that his bu-
sincss was to fight down rebellion and not
answer such questions.
| 1t also appears that jeff Davis and other
rebel officials were interested personally in
the blockade running business, and made
handsome fortunes.

l. The Herald's Richmond dispatch says:
1t is known here that Lees troops dc
serted him by thousands, and 20 weakened
the fallen cheftain that he was obliged to
surrender. They would not leave the
State.
The French Consul has gone to Washing
ton to Law claim to the French tobacco.
The Herald's correspondent says:
| The frs meeting Of Grant aud Lee was
private for a few moments, when the staff
officers we're admitted. Lee looked faded
and worn out, and was neatly dressed in
grey clothes without ornament During the
| interview he was almost taciturn; but
showed no temper or modification. He BIZ
vouaced the night before in grove near by
and in the morning breack tasted on corn
dodged-no one but few Of his officers sus
pectcd that he contemplated surrenderine
his army.
The Times correspondent says
Lee asked Grant to explain what was
meant by personal effects and said, many of
| btc o1r.-n oil ri. H.
the horses must be turned over to the U. S
which Lee admitted it was entirely correct !;
but Grant said he would instruct his officers
to allow those men who owned their horses
to retain Their. as they would need them TO
till their FIRMS
Lee oppressed great qualification for such
gener Gus consideration, and said it would
hs We good effect. Lee could not tell now
many he had to surrender, as so many had
been killed and deserted. Lee informed
Grant that his men were short of provisions
, whcreupon the latter ordered %, 600 rations
served to them, when Lee announced the
liberal terms he had secured to his officers,
they expressed great satisfaction. The
, troops received the announcement with
cheers. Afterwards an hours fricnely inter-
course took place between the officers of the
two armies.
The Times correspondent says:
In the skirmish of Gen. Reed on our side

! forces, held tourment of death, fghtir %
