army to Gen. Grant had created great
sensation in Europe. The London Times

great American war is virtually closed
by, Lees surrender of the Virginia army.
The tone of the correspondence between
Generals Giant and Lee is honorable to
BOTH The conditions were such as it
was 10 disgrace for an overmatched
army to accept. Not. even Napoleon's
grand army could count series of more
brilliant victories than the Army of
Virginia. They were victorious until
victory was no longer to be achieved by
human vaior, and then they fell with
honor. Two years ago Lee might have
escaped to hynchburg, but now the
Federal Generals move with as quick
rapidity and attack as Napoleon's Mar.
shals. The Federal army is entitled to
rank among the very first of military
nations. An attempts to establish a
Southern Confederacy must be aban.
doned."

{ - for the South at Liverpool, the in
telGgence of Lees surrender was received
with great satisfaction, causing an in
creased confidence in commercial circles.
