with pride so long as the English
tongue is spoken. In pursuance OF
an arrangement Of the six commits
sioncrs, the Confederate army
marched by divisions, on the MORN
ing of April the 18th, to spot on
the AppOmattoX Court House, where
they stacked arms and deposited
accoutroments. Upon this solemn
occasion Major General Gibbon rep
resented the United States authori-
ties. With. the same exalted and
conspicuous dclicacy which he had
exhibited throughout these closing
scenes, Gen. Grant was not again
visible after his final interview with
Gen. Lee, About 1880 Confederates
marched with their muskets in their
Hands, and they were followed by
about $4,000 unarmed stragSlcrs,
who claimed to be included in tho
capitulation. Each Confederate SOL
dier was furnished with printed
form of parole, which was filled up
for him by his own officers, and II
duplicate furnished to designated
Federal officer. BY the evening of
tho 10Th the paroles were generally
distributed, aud tho disbanded men
began to scatter through the coun-
try. Hardly one Of them had a
farthing of money. Some of them
had from 1,2OO to 1900 miles to
travel over country the scantyrail-
roads of which wcro utterly ami
hilatod. Many an interesting diary
Of the adventures Of these individu-
ais, as they journoyed from Eastern
Virginia to Western Texas, or pos
sibly to Mexico, may we'll have been
written. tits to be hoped that ono
or two such will yet be given to tho
world.
Shortly after noon on the 18th,
Gen. Lee, escorted by guard Of
honor Of Federal cavalry, mounted
his horse for tho last time and start
cd for the City of Richmond. On
the road he arrived about evening at
the headquarters of his "old war
horse Geh. Longstreet, and tho
last and saddest of their many inter-
views took place. There are scenes
which are too sacred and affecting
even for description, even though
the pen were guided by Macauloy
or a Hoffman. If ever there were
two genuine simple minded menup-
on earth to whom anything melo-
dramatic or theatrical is utterly alb.
horrcnt, they are the men Of whom
I am now writing. / close this
brief chronicle with the remark
that in proportion to the readers
estimate of tho sustained heroism
with which Lee and Longstreet, for
four years bore up and stood erect
under snch burden as never yet
was laid upon man, will be his ap-
probation of the circumstances and
emotions under which their parting
interview took place.

CEASE FIRING AT THAT OFFIcER.-
The Montgomery (Ala.,) Mail,
dwelling upon the fact that South
erners generally prefer soldiers to
represent them in Congress and else
where, says:
"To vote for such mon is not to
hurl defiance at The conqueror, but
rather. to exercise the privilege Of
complimenting gallant men, without
a thought whether it may or may
not please the conqueror. The truo
conqueror is not only devoid Of
jealousy, but is willing to share his
meal and couch with the vanquish-
ed. He has learned to honor his
prisoner from the electric sympathy
which is always generated by bull
lets and bayoncnts.
"At Rich Mountain a gallant South
Carolinian, in command ofa section
of artillery, had fought his guns
well, until he had not men enough
left to work them. Our lines wcre
broken, and the enemy was dashing
upon them. A shell dismounted ono
of his pieces, killed his horse under.
him, and shattered his right arm
Gaining his feet, the gallant fellow
mounted his remaining gun, and
standing erect as it dashed away
under a shower of bullets. shook his
sword at the enemy with his left
hand. Just at this moment the or
der come, sharp and clear, from the
Federal lines, "Cease firing at that
officerl' Such spectacle of ardent
valor drew a spontaneous shout of
applause, even from his mortal
foe! As it was then, SO it will be
hereafter. When the fanatics of the
North abuse the men who consider
ed it their duty to obey the mandate
of their State, an universal shout
will come from the true Union men
of the North "Cease firing at that
officer !"

She appeals especl,..y to the Old AleXhn-

Episcopal ccrgymen, who both fell, with the

THINGS IN DINwIDDIE, VA-A spicy cores
pendent of the Petersburg Express: writing
from Ream' Station, says: Hog stealing is
much in vogue; the fever and aguc has be-
come epidemic, and the chils, if divided, would
furnish man with good size ague every day
Of his life. Sweet potatoes are abundant but
not remunerative at seventy cents bushe
while apples are scarce, nearly the whole
crop having been manufactured into cider and
brandy. There will be but little wheat seeded
owing to the high prices Of guano, the scarcity
of money and the precariousness Of labor.
Sambo and Rose become more and more
welded to the idea day by day, that they must
'set up on their own hook" No farther back
than yesterday heard an aged negress reply
10 a lady who desired her services next year as
cook, that she could not get them;" and
then with an impudent toss OF the head, she
added, whats de use of beiu' free, if | got to
work for white folks all my llte?'' And this is
the idea which seems to have seized upon the
great majority of the unfortunate race.
Game of all kinds IS to &c found now IN this
region. Partridges are more abundant than
for many years; hares jump from behind every
bush; coons intest every corn field; opposums
desp0il every perslmmon tree; squirrels Til the
forest; foxes bark around every henucry, and
the music of the hounds resounds on every
breeze. The crack of the sportmen' 5 rifle aud
the dawn of day greet US simultaneously, while
the huntSmem's horn and the set OF sun, bid
farwell to the parting day.
