the Army of Northern Virginia, as headid not think the occasion called for l. Hesintimated that he would treat for peace Grant replied or the morning of the 9th that peace could only be had by tue South lay ing down it's arms, hostilities had not been suspended, and several Federal corps took positions for battle.
 Meantime events behind the scenes had hastened Lees decision to go back to Grants original proposal and treat for the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia On the evening of the 8th he had called council of corps commanders to consider Grants terms, as stated in his letter of the 8th Itwas decided not to accept unless it should be demonstrated that the whole Fed eral army was up. Sheridan, with his cavalry corps and Ord's infantry command, had outmarched the Con- federates aod stood across their pathway at APpomattox. Lee sent forward his cavalry, under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee aud Gen. John B. Gordons infantry, to fall upon Sheridan at daylight and open a road toward Lynehburg, and failing to do so, to send word to Lee, who world go back toward the picket lines with the expectation of meet ing Grant to treat for peace Cor don and Fitzhugh Lee advanced at sunrise, striking and driving off two of Sheridan's brigades, with the loss of guns and prisoners.
 Three divisions of infantry were sent to relieve the cavalry, which was retiring in confusion. A new line was formed, and the wlLole moved out at double quick to be met at once by white flag The bearer asked for a cessation of hostilities pending the negotiations between Lee and Grant. Bugles sounded a hault. Sheridan rode off towards the left front, where Gordon had passed the Federal out posts and was forming for battle around Appomattox Court House. Sheridan sent Gordon a demand to surrender, and he answered.
 "Give my compliments to Gen. Sheridan and say that l will not surrender"
 Bat Gen. Sheridan will annihi- late you" said the bearer of the summons, with an expression of alarm. II am perfectly aware of the situation, responded Gordon.
 Information now became general that there was a truce, and that Grant and Lee were in communi- caticn. Sheridan asked Gordon and other leaders an assurance that the negotiations intended surrender, and this was given. It was ar ranged between Sheridan and Gordon to await events, and both dismounted, and the men learned for the first time the exact state of affairs
 Grant had had instructions through Secretary Stanton to have no conference with Lee except for the exploitation of his G1ee's) army, and after sending Lee the answer to this effect he bad ridden off to the left and south 10 get around to the

BANDA ROssA CONCERT.

The preliminary announcements
concerning the tour of the Banda Rosa
of San Severe have spoken of their high
standing in their native land and their
success on German tours they have
made. 1t remained, therefore, for their
New York concerts TO give them an en-
dorsement in this country and that has
been done in an unmistakable manner.
The almost unanimous voice of the New
York critics was a recognition of their
grand ensemble work, the brilliant and
passionate playing characteristic OF the
Italian people-a well-drilled body of
men under the most perfect control and
programs not often given by hands in
America. These points, with deserved
tributes to the great and magnetic
leader, Sorrentino, give in the press a
fair conception of the impression made
by the Banda Rosa, whose
appearance in this city at the
Grand Opera House on Thursday even
ing. October %, will be awaited with
great expectations by Wilmington
music loving public.

MIXED WEDDING GUESTS.

A laughable incident took place last
night in connection with the two we'd
dings which occurred in the same
square. Miss Nellie Long, VINO became
the bride of John MahOney, lives at No.
AIT jefferson street, while Miss Ella
Null, who was married to James Frank
Peirce, lives at No. 406 Jefferson street,
Among those invited to the Polrce-Mull
niiptials were john H. Rodney, Cap
tain Philip Reybold, Frank Sharpley
and Mr.. and Mrs. George i. Mckay and
daughter. of Trainer, Pa. In some in
explicable manper the above named
guests went TO the Mahoney-Long we'd
ding. They divested themselves Of their
wraps and made themselves at home
until the time came to be presented %
the bride and groom. They then real
lied their mistake, and explanations
were in order. These over, the party
crossed the street and entered into the
festivities to which they were invited.
