The manner in which Grant received the
surrender of Lee at Appomattox was in
keeping with his whole life. Gen. Lee came
in with his staff as though prepared for
review. The uniform they wore was new,
and the gray cloth that covered the con-
quered leaders form was almost covered by
the gold lace that the Confederate regula-
tions called for. His staff officers were all in
full dress, and they made fne-looking
body of men. When Gen. Grant
entered the contrast was so marked that it
could not escape observation. The Union
general was dressed in a uniform that had
seen its best days long before. Heavy riding
boots came up TO his knees, his coat bore
traces of hard riding over muddy roads, and
there was not so much as plume in the dark
sloucn hat he wore on his head. He did not
even wear a sword. The members of his
staff were in as hard plight as their COM
mander. Their work had been too hard to
give time for dress parade show.
VICTOR AND vANQUIsHED.
When the two generals shook hands the
differences between them could be noted
again. Lee, a superb-lookiug soldier, had
all the manners of the grand gentleman, and
even then showed no embarrassment Grant
was quiet, simple and business-like. He had
won but he had none OF the airs of con-
Queror; Indeed, an observer unacquainted
with the circumstances and Judging from
appearances, would have naturally taken Lee
for the victor. Grant had but little to say, but
his words were to the point. He sat down at
the little table that has since become histor-
ical and wrote out the formal terms Of sur
render When II was done Gen. Lee offered
his sword, drawing 1t from the scabbard and
. ~ loft xsrflt four orJ
Gen. Grant. 1t was a magnificent piece Of
workmanshi the blade being engraved and
the scabbard rich with precious metals. Gen.
Lee had never worn 1t until that day, when
be beted it around him for the surrender.
II he had meant It to be one of the blades
to be talked of in the days to come he had
made a mistake. Gen. Grant put up his
hand aud waved the sword aside and Gen.
Lee wore 1t when they parted.
TREATMENT OF THE REBELS.
In his treatment of the rebel army Grant
showed the determination that had always
been characteristic. There were demands
for severe measures from some of the men
who had fought in safe places like Washing
ton. He refused TO listen to them, aud
threatened TO resign IL his actions
were not approved. The rebels were
fed Immediately, and orders issued to
the troops, requesting them to abstain from
all tumultuous rejoicings. They are our
countrymen again, he wrote. On April -
the Southern hosts marched out and laid
down their arms, a division Of Union troops
standing IN front of the field where this ccrc-
mouy was performed. Then the rebel flags
were furled for the last time, and in peace
the rebels turned uumolested, by Grants
orders, for their homes. Two DAYS before
that Grant had gone to Washington, not
waiting TO see the fnaltriumph of his genius
In the lighting before Richmond he lost Co.
600 men, oue-third of the force he used in
the siege, and Lee lost 30, 600 men, half of
his available force.
