TO ne Editor Of The National Republican;
sIm The following is an extract from work en-.
titled with General Sheridan In Lees Last Cam.
paiGn":
general Sheridan, connding IN the flag oftruce,
= rode out In front Of his cavalry and
struck out across toward Appomattox Courthouse
he had hardly gone hundred yards when
some rebel troops In front OF him suddenly fired
his little party. Major Allen, of our staif,
rode rapidly Into the euemys lines aud
demanded to know the cause of this violation Of
the flag general In command, who evidently
supposed himself to be General Taylor IN Mexico,
replied that South Carolinlans never surrendered,
aud declined 10 receive any order 10 suspend hos.
tilities. Custer hearing the firing ia the
direction the general had taken, promptly moved
out TO look into II.
Meantime the general wended his way more
carefully to the courthouse aud there met GEN
erals Gordon and Wilcox. Just MS they
began to talk firing was heard on our right, where
the cUntumuclOus South CGrolir!ans were. Gen
eral Gordon looked up anXiously and ordered u
staff officer 20 go rapidly and lind out what Il
meant but General Sheridan said Never mind
never miudl / know what II Is. Let them fight 1t
out + and then explained that the bold general
who never surrendered had fallen IN the hands of
Custer and was likely TO come 10 terms or grief
very shortly" Third DIV.
