wss not rapid by any means. Everybody
felt the overPOwering influence Of the
scene. Every one present felt that they
were Witnessing the proceedings between
the tso chief actors in one of the most
remarkable transactions of this nine
teenth century. The words that passed
between Grant and Lee were few. Gen.
eral Grant - endeavoring to apologize
for not being fully equipped-and MOTTO
ing the faultless appearance of Lee
while the secretaries were busy, said:
General Lee, have no sword; I have
been riding all night" And Lee, with
that GOODNESS of manner and all the pride
almost haughtiness-which, after all,
became him wonderfully well, never
made any reply, but in a cold, formal
manner, bowedl And General Grant, in
the endeavor to take away the awkward
ness of the scene, said: II don't always
wear sword, because Q sword is very
inconvenient thing" That was a re-
markable thing for him to say, consider
ing that he was in the presence of one
who was about to surrender his sword.
Lee only bowed again. Another, trying
to relieve the awkwardnes of the occasion,
inquired: "General Lee, what became of
the white horse you rode in Mexico2 He
might not be dead yet; he was not so
DID," General Lee bowed coldly, and
replied: ~ left him at the white house
on the Psmunkey River, and have not
seen him since" There was ono moment
when there was q whispered conversation |
between Grant and Lee which nobody in |
the room heard.
The surrender took the form of cor
respondence; the letters were all signed
in due form by the chief actors, In the |
presence of each other. Finally, when |
the terms of the surrender had all been
arranged, and the surrender made, Lee
arose cold and proud, and bowed to
every person in the room on our side.
remember each one of US thought he had
been specially bowed to. And then he
went out and passed down the little
square In front Of the house, and be-
strobe that gray horse that carried him
all over Virginia; and when he had gone
away, we learned what that whispered
conversation had been about. General
Grant called his officers about him, and
said: "You 60 to the Twenty-fourth, and
you to the Fifth" and so on, naming the
corps, "and ask every man who has three
rstions to turn over two of them. Go to
the commissaries and go to the quarter
masters" etc.: "General Lees army is on
the point Of starvation!" And twenty
five thousand rations were carried to the
army of Northern Virginia.-From Gen.
George Fl. Sharpe's Decoration Day 3D.
