results expected. Custer, ever on
the alert, aften anticipating the COM
mand ofsuperior officers on the field
of battle, was among the first in dis
cerning the object of mounting the
troops and had his division in the
advance, with Deven close upon his
heels. Brigade Commanders Pen
ningham, Copehart, Gibbs, Fitzhugh
and Stag were active and Jealous to
move the whole body, without q
break in the formations, hastily, but
etfectually made for the work in

horsemen IS they thundered by the

CUSTER SlMoRTALIZED.
General Custer is now the most
conspicuous man on the field. He
rides out from the charging column,
observed by all He meets q Con-
federate. A white flag Is trium-
phantly waved in his right hand as
he dashes back to his command : the
halt is sounded and a Wild shout Of
Joy went out from the throats of
thousands of brave men that filed
the air for many minutes. Huzzah
after huzzah, cheer after cheer rolled
back to and was quickly caught up
by the thirty thousand infantry

war.

The roads were in good condition,
the country open, quite thickly set
tied and well improved and the in
habisants generally conversant with
the situation, many of Lees men
reported to be going home and the
negroes gleeful wherever met. Nov
ing on the flank of the advance for
the greater part of the:day with a de-
tail of well-meunted and disciplined
soldiers, we had ample opportunity
to learn what was known by the resi-
dents and returning Confederate SOL
diers, many of whom were captured
by our party in their flight to re-
ceive them and quite conscious that
the struggle was practically over.
The usual depredations and name

ed to US by many households as We
tarried for a moment or hurried by
them, and an unusual amount of

adventurous foraging soldiers of the
whole corps on this famous days
march. The very air elong the
column was rich in the fumes of the
old and savory intoxicant No re-
sistance impeded ou- steady march
CUSTER THE DEBoNAIR.
We met and reported to Custer
twice during the day. He was in
tent on getting on, reticent beyond
precedent, evidently exercising his
best efforts to suppress his natural
vivacity. We think it was about
two o'clock p. %. that We met him
for the second time during the day.
He was riding with the leading reg
imens and was satisfied that he was
south of Lees most advanced troops
had heard that trains and supplies
were at Appomottax Station and
was hopeful of reaching that point
before dark. He wore on that day,
as usual with him, gay uniform
and two Colts revolvers, army size
in holsters attached to his sabre belt
This was, as he frequently said, his
custom for the protection OF his body
having horror of being shot in the
stomach or bowels.

A GAY BATTLEFIELD.

Headquarter standards and cap
tured battle-fags were unfurled on
the right of every command; stream
ing guidons flashed their star-fire in
the sunlight of the day; well-dress-
ed lines showed walls Of cleaning
steel; the very horses seemed to
catch the inspiration of the hour
and moved with nimbIe feet; the
whole outline suggested one of the
most magnificent pageants of the
long and cruel war. If the ~survi-
val of the fittest" be in the will and
eternal economy of God q part o!
human destiny, then those of the
blue and gray who last met on the
plains of Appomattsx have high
place in the worlds book and tat

Y.M. q. A. Meeting Tonight.

The building fund Of the Young
Mems Christian Association is growing
in amount as public interest in the sub
ject is increased. Two very pleasant
receptions were held at the rooms
of the Association during the past week,
at each ofwhich something was realized.
They were given by the - Ladies' Com
mittee,' who have often assisted the
Association in similar entertainments.
The site for the building has not yet
been selected, though the general desire
seems to be to find some location where
stores could be placed on the lower
floor. The rental from these would
furnish a fund for the general expenses
of the Association. 1t is thought that
s40, 900 is the least amount with which
suitable building can be erected.
The committee who have in charge
the raising Of the additional amount is
composed as follows Charles +. Whit
lock chairman and treasurer. A. S.
Buford, Joseph Bryan. j. I. Ellyson,
and f. ID. Taylor.
In furtherance Of this object mass
meeting will be held at DR.. Hoge's
church tonight at 8 o'clock, and ad-
dresses will be delivered by Rev. Moses
d. Hoge, d. D., Rev. j. b. Newton, ID.

In the Office of the Register Of the
Land Office there are now open books
for the recording Of land-decds. Gene

Der Of the Assembly, shortly after the
war, was instrumental in having an act
for this purpose passed. Tho books in
the Registers Office show that only
General Taliaferro and neighbor OF
his have ever availcd themselves Of the
benefit Of the act. The late fire in
Kirg William county, which destroyed
the records in the clerks Office, shows
the wisdom of General Taliaferro's act.

ter of news to many to know that they

The thirty-fifth annual report Of the
Manhattan Life-Insurance Company Of

column, illustrates clearly two import

times of depression, and the other is
the disposition to abandon speculative

conservative and prudent investment in
insurance for the benefit OF families and
friends. Old and new patrons will find
