THE LAST coNFEOERATEs.
Three Men Who Didn't Give Up Until
Long After the War.

According to q story in Albert Lawson's
War Anecdotes, " the last Confederate did
not surrender until fifteen months after
AppOmattox. The story is that on the
morning of Fourth of July. 1866, the
Secretary OF War, who had plan ned a
fishing excursion to the falls of the Poto-
mac, received telegram from the Provost
Marshal OF Richmond saying that q squad
OF Confederate soldiers were at his Office
ready 20 deliver up their arms and be am
nestled.
knowing that joking Of that sort would
subject the perpetrator TO Court-martlal
the Secretary hastened TO the White House
10 consult with President Johnson. The
result was telegram 10 the Provost Mar
shall
who are they and where did they come
froml"
Answer was prompt and TO the point;
Sergeant Tewsbury and guard from
Dismal swamp. Did not know the war was
over
After good deal of laughter the Provost
Marshal was ordered to receive their CO.
pitulation, which was conducted in due
form. Tewsbury, an old VirginiGn, order
ed his squad, a couple of Georgians, to
give up their guns and sign the papers, re-
Serving himself as the last man OF all the
Confederate forces to surrender. The old
Sergeant's description of the way he found
out the war was over was amusing.
He and his companions had been posted
on the edge OF the swamp 10 watch the
movements of the Union troops from Nor
folk, with orders to remain until relieved.
he was never relieved, and subsisted on
game and fish for three years. At last he
met an old negro, who told him that the
war had been over for about year, which
"tickled him better than If he had been
kicked by o mule as he expressed it.
