The capture Ot !StE0SbHFD.

Since the 2lth ult, the bombardment
had been terrific and almo-t incc>>ant,
and the breach in the walls became large
enough to admit an army. On Tue
day, the 9th, near 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, a white flag was beheld flying
from the cathedral. This was speedily
followed by The same token of surrender
from the citadel. a young lieutenant
of the thlrty-tourth German regiment
was the first TO discover the flag, and
the firing Instantly ceased. At
ter the steady booming of the artillery
a profound silence prevailed Then gen
cral attention was called to the tlag by 4
universal cheer which rose from one pOr-
ton of the be>ieging lines and was soon
caught up and echoed throughout the
entire army. The scene which followed
was indcscribably exciting. Officers
sprang to their feet and embraced each
other, clasping hands. The men fol-
lowed this example and some actually
cried with joy. The sight i'll the city,
which was impressive aud sad at the
same time. was relieved by the evident
iov of the citizens at their release from
their terrible condition of suffering and
suspense. The commanders Of the two
forces, Gems. Werder and Uhrich, met
lor the first time, September IS, after
the terms of capitulaIion had been ar
ranged The meeting took place just in
side the gate. on the east side. Gen.
Chrich advanced TO Gen. Werder, and
with a voice much agitated, said: 81

Werder, much affected, placed both

and said: "You have fought bravely.

was understood that the two former
