LEES SURRENDER.
General Chamberlain Gives u Description
Of the Memorable Event.

AS we stand there in the morning
mist we see the rebel army breaking
camp, and then slowly and reluctantly
forming ranks for the last time. And
now they move, the great Innss break
Ing into column of march; General
Gordon with the Stonewall Jackson
corps, commanded by Heath On
they came, the rebellion battle flags,
with the diagonal cross and thirteen
stars. The head Of the rebel column
comes opposite our right, and mt the
bugle signal we come TO the carry
arms The rebel commander,
General Gordon, ut the head of the
column, observes this little COURTESY,
and drops the point OF his sword and
gives the command to carry Not "A
sound from the trumpet nor roll of
drum, but In stiffness. as If the dead
were passing there-thus they moved.
Then they stacked arms and took oil
their cartridge boxes and laid them on
the pile. Lastly, painfully, they furled
their battle flags and laid them in the
dust; some knceling down over them
and kissing them with burning tears.
And then the star-spnngled banner
was left alone upon the field.
But all Is over now, and fast van
ishing with the years. see n new
generation standing before me and
around. But though sometimes the
heart viii yearn for those stirring du-
ties and those high companionships OF
the field, stlll when think of
all the noble spirits that have passed
In battle aud the storm, and how
those little Virginia rivers are flow
Ing on tonight, just ~ they did while
yet those earnest young eyes were
wont to gaze across their silent waters
of how many hearts are still tonight
that then beat stronger than their tide.
Let us not forget, dear friends, the last
martyr, who In the supreme moment
of his victory, with malice toward
none, with charity for all, following
the right as God gave MIN 10 see the
right, went to join his 300, 900 that

JAY Gould, who has desolated more

Those who have read the lives of

Judge Mills, Of the Police Court, on Sat

This is the first case under this section of
