threatened to cut off Gordon from
Longstreet, his cavalry at the same
time threatening to enveiop his left
flank. Gordon withdrew across the
Appomattox river, and the cavalry
advanced on the Lynchburg road and
became separated from the army.
Learning the condition of affairs on
the lines, where l had gone under the
expectation of meeting General Grant,
to learn definitely the terms he pro-
posed in a communication received
from him on the Stn, in the event OF
the surrender Of the army, l requested
a suspension of hostilities until these
terms could be arranged. In the in
terview which occurred with General
Grant in compliance with my request
terms having been agreed on, | sur
rendered that portion of the Army Of
Northern Virginia which was on the
field, with its arms, artillery, and wag-
on-trains, the officers and men to be
paroled, retaining their side arms and
private effects l deemed this course
the best under all the circumstances
by which we were surrounded. On
the morning of the 9th, according to
the reports of the ordnance officers,
there were 1892 organized infantry,
with arms, with an average OF seventy
five rounds Of ammunition per man.
The artillery, though reduced to 63
pieces, 63 rounds Of ammunition was
sufficient. These comprised all the
supplies of ordnance that could be re-
lied on in the State of Virginia. l
have no accurate report of the cavalry,
but believe it did not exceed 2,Ioo
effective men. The enemy was more
than five times our numbers. If we
could have forced our way one day
longer it would have been at great
sacrifice of life, and at its end | did
not see how a surrender could have
been avoided. We had no subsistence
for man or horse, and it could not be
gathered in the country. The sup
plies ordered to Pamplin' station from
Lynchburg could not reach US, and
the men, deprived Of food and sleep
for many days were worn out and ex-
hausted.
With great respect, your obedient
servant, r. E. LEE, General.

Suggesting An Experiment

1t was at the theater, and the young
man had seen the play before. He
let everybody for four seats around
know that, and he kept telling just
what was coming and just how funny
it would be when it did come. He
had a pretty girl with him and he was
trying to amuse her. At length he
said:
"Did you ever try listening to a
play with your eyes shut9 You've no
idea how queer it seems"
A middle aged man with red face
sat just in front. He twisted himself
about in his seat and glared at the
young man.
"Young man. said he, "did you
ever try listening to play with your
mouth shu,?"
And the silence was almost painful

ATLANTA'S BIG EXPOSITION.
North Carolina Ought to be Repre-
sented, but No Provision is Made
for the Purpose.
IMOrgantOn Herald.I

We noted in the Atlanta Journal
the other day the statement that OF
the Southern States, North Carolina
was the only one which had made no
provision for display at the Cotton
States and International Exposition,
which is to be held in Atlanta next
fall. The Journal also remarked that
with the magnificent display which
North Carolina made at Chicago, still
practically intact, no Southern State
was in position to make display SO
creditable for such small outlay. 1t
is matter for deep regret that the
late Legislature did not make pro-
vision for an exhibit at an exposition
that will be visited by SO many thou
sands of people who are looking to
the South for homes or investments.
Heretofore, on similar occasions, North
Carolina has stood in the front rank.
At Boston, at New Orleans, and at
Chicago her displays surprised the
world, and have resulted already in
the investment of many millions OF
dollars within her borders. No money
was ever spent by the Commonwealth
that has yielded and is still yielding
SO large return. The benefits derived
from the advertisement Of the States
resources have benefited the people of
all sections of the State, by the estab-
lishment of new industries that give
employment to labor and furnish
better market for the products of the
farm. While it was important that
the State should make fine impression
at the three exposltlons mentioned, 1t IS
especially important that at such
distinctively Southern display as will
be made at Atlanta, the space assigned
TO North Carolina should not remain
empty. No patriotic citizen of the
State, no matter to what party he
belongs, can fail to realize that the
Legislature made grave mistake
when it thus failed to uphold the repu-
tation of the State by showing at
Atlanta the products of our farms and
mines and forests and the handlwork
of our manufacturers and artisans. 1t
is now too late to remedy the matter
SO far as Legislative action is con
cerned but what the Legislature failed
to do may yet be done by the citizens
of the State There is need of organ
lied effort in every county to raise
f funds for carrying the exhibit made
by the State at Chicago to Atlanta.
The counties and towns and railroad
and manufacturing companies and the
great hotels and many other industries
of the State ought to contribute llber-
ally to the fund, and this, supplemented
, by individual subscriptions, ought tc
be sufficient if the press Of the State
$ will urge upon the people the lmpor'
! tance Of the movement. DR.. II. b
, Battle, of the State Agricultural
, Department, writes The Herald that
f the Chicago exhibit can be reproduced
, in Atlanta for $4,000 or SI2, 900
. The State can not afford to lose the
! opportunity for such a paltry sum
6 Steps should be taken at once to rals'
q the money. The credit Of The " Olt
f North State demands it.

GOLD STANDARD AT FAULT.
Bland has no Patience With This Talk
About Sound Currency.

ST. LOUIS, April I6.-Ex- Congress-
man Richard P. Bland was interviewed
to-day relative to the letter of Presi-
dent Cleveland to the Chicago COM
mittee. Mr.. Bland says:
Mr. Cleveland says the line of
battle is drawn between the friends of
safe currency and those of silver
monometallism. Mr.. Cleveland, un
fortunately for himself, his party, and
his country, from the beginning of his
Administration drew the line sharply
between the friends of bi-metallism
and gold monometallism. In doing
so he has forced upon the country a
state of affairs that is intolerable to
the masses of our people. Sound
money and safe currency, &C., is but
a twaddle of words. We all know
that the goldites use these phrases to
escape the unpopularity and utter
disgust of the people with the single
gold Standard Bl-metallism-this is
the coinage Of gold and silver-always
gave to the people sound and safe
money, and consequently prosperity.
"Gold monometallism is stencil
in the nostrils of the plain people. The
gold standard may do for the bond
. holders and the bankers, but the
sufferings of the industrial masses con-
sequent from silver demonetlzatlon
will not be endured longer without a
struggle, the like of which this country
= has not seen since the late civil war.
! "Mr. Cleveland must remember
that the crystalization and comblna-
ton of the gold standard sentiment
and methods has brought disaster to
the people of all gold standard coun-
tries, and this policy is now running
this country. 1t is this state of things
that has made his Administration
hateful to the masses of the American
people.
"Mr. Cleveland suggests that the
people are in an unfortunate condi-
ton. Certainly they are, and this
condition was predicted to happen as
result Of his unrelentlng war on
silver as money. His lnslnuatlons that
the advocates of silver restoration are
bent on wicked and unpatriotic pur-
poses may do for those whose environ
nen,s are such as TO prevent them
from seeing and knowing the ut,el
poverty and distress that IS prevailing
among the masses Of the people, bu
those who live in the midst of thu:
: distress, and see daily that the people
are suffering will repel with scorn suct
insinua,ions. We believe the restora
: ton of silver is necessary for the wei
: fare of our country, and so believing
| no abuse from sources, however hlgl
. or arrogant, will deter US from GU
purpose"

cent over tho results OF 1891 This is en-
couragng, especially as the Increase In

greater than in the first pnrt Of -
