Lre's Surrender aud The Apple

IJtbe Editor of the World:
SIR. | learn from the columns of
your esteemed journal that there Is IS
dispute as to whether General Lee sur
rendered under an apple tree or at Nc
Leans house. | don't know that the
question is very important, but rs 1t IS IN

statements in the simplest manner, 1

n a0a. The truth of the matter is that
Og,h 81 the parties are right in a certain
sense. Ga the morning OF the surren

near At last we saw approaching on
horseback a Federal general and his
aide de-camp, who dismounted when at
aijstauce of ten yards from General
Lee and advanced towards the spot
gaere he sat. General Lee arose and
the Federal general saiuted him with
.9urtesr not unmixed as it seemed to
me, with 4 certain awe. General Lee re
turning the civility with decorous gray
ty. This occurred Immediately beneath
az old apple tree. After the exchange
Of a few words in an undertone-the
unyersaton not lasting more than one
mGute-General Lee mounted his horse
and rode with the two officers in the di
Esetion of General Grants headquarters.
None of our officers accompanied Gen.
Lee on this ride, and | cannot say from
PERSONAL knowledge whether the two
chiefs met under another apple tree or
not, but it Is certain that no especial ar
list was present to sketch the scene ]

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
Cotton Factories in the South

Austin States mani
If new England factory can make a
profit of one cent on pound of raw cot
ton it has done well. A Southern fac
tory has an advantage of one cent, some
say more. on the raw material. Has it
been considered what this means? This
is equal to twelve per cent. on the capt.
tai stock If well managed it must
make twice as much as Northern fac
tory. This, in fact, has been done gen
orally by the factories in Georgia and
South Carolina. A factory that cost
$4,000 in the South will make as much
clear profit as one that cost 500, 900 in
the North. A factory in the South will
make twice the dividend of one in the
North. Can our capitalists find bet
ter place to put their money than in
such factories?
