Lee commanding the cavalry, and Gen.
l4ongstreet, held consultation with Gen.
r. E. Lee At this consultation it was
agreed that Gen Gordon should try the
Federal strength on the following day,
Sheridan was in command opposite Cor
don. In accordance with the programme
Gordon made his demonstration the next
day and was met by Sheridan's cavalry,
which he gallantly repulsed, but, find
ing Sheridan supported by large numbers
of infantry, fell back and sent this intel
ligenee to Gen. K. +. Lee. Upon its
receipt Gen. Lee ordered the firing to
cease, and displayed the white flag, UNI
der which the surrender was subsequent
ly made. During the cessation of HOSTILE
ties, and while Gems. Grant and Lee
were in consultation, Gen. Sheridan,
with large retinue of officers and men
about one hundred in all-was seen
approaching Gen. Gordon's lines. OF
course this cavalcade, as it came dashing
across the plain, challenged the atten-
ton of Gordon's entire force. CHANGING

We are under obligations to the New

following sensible suggestion:
But, seriously, it has often struck me
that our agricultural societies may do
something to arrest the progress of this
truly deplorable tendency. They offer
liberal premiums to women and girls for
bread and butter, patching and darning,
painting, embroidery, fancy work, &c,
&c, and rejoice that they do it. But
never word is said about boys That
is not as it should be. The boy should
be recognized as a member of society
Let our State society, or any society,"
