grey pants with flowing though rlbbony Yankee
overcoat, and the other making his decencY
apparent by ccncealing the defects of his upper
garments with an old oil-cloth fly, awfullY be-
daubed with mud. Tewksberry staCed to the
Colonel that he and his party stopped on the
AppomattoX, about seven miles above the city,
after the evacuation of Petersburg, for the pur-
pose at first, of resting; that they stayed longer
than they expected, and were cut off. They then
made VOW to live on that spot, and never go
home or give up until the Contederacy was CON-
pletely annihilated. They sought out a cave on
the banks OF the river, which at that point is
very rocky, and after some little industry sue
ceeded IN erecting for themselves most COM
Portable little home. Here they lived upon fish
and game, and occasionally roasting ears, during
all last summer, and upon bread made of corn
they had gathered from The corn-felds, and an
occasional pig they found without mother, in
their rambes during The winter. This spring
and summer they lived as they did last
summer, but recently, hearing from an old negro
man that the Confederacy had undoubtedly
gone up" they concluded to quit barbarian

yesterday morning, with their muskets and
accoutrements, stacked arms in front of head
quarters, sent in word that they were the rem

they wished to surrender upon the conditions
accorded to the main body. Colonel Milton
cordially assented to their request, gave them
transportation to their homes, and bade them

for short time, had new suits of clothing given
them, and after being made about half drunk,
embarked on the Southern train for their homes.
