Or If there is any chance for the sepa-
rate State governments to make any
terms whatever with the Federal gov
eminent, we stand these chances by de-
lay, and we lose them by a surrender.
Intimations, too, have been given that
each State may make terms for itself,
while the Confederacy will not be rec
ognized. But even suppose there are
none of these chances, suppose there
is nothing left but to submit to what

then there is one thing the men who
have fought under you for three years
have the right to ask of you. You care
little for military reputation. But we
are your men, and your fame is very
precious to us. The record of this army
as yet is without a blot, and now its
last hour has come. Grant is called
Unconditional Surrender Grant and it
has been their boast that our fate was
to be that of the armies at Fort Dom

GERS were kiIled-among them Willie
Pegram, the brilliant young colonel of
artillery, loved and admired throughout
the army.
Our men had fought everywhere as
well as ever they fought before, and at
many points had driven the enemy
back with severe losses; but the thin
ranks had been overrun at some places,
and. as a whole. the integrity of our
system of defense was gone. Long,

were received to withdraw everything
during the night across th9 James,
abandoning Richmond, and to move
southwark to Amelia Court House,
where We would unite with the forces
to be withdrawn from Petersburg.
My command was stretched over
many miles, and we had a busy night
getting it on the road, spiking and
abandoning the heavy guns, and arm

them. With heavy hearts we left our
beautiful lines, prepared with such care
for many months, only to be walked

our finest artillery officers Major Frank
Smith, who had commanded heavy bat

Riding ahead of the guns and infan-

By sunrise we We're again in the sad
die to examine the locality and select a
line of battle on which the troops, as
they arrived, were posted. But many
of those expected never arrived. The
enemy had intercepted our line of
march. and a very sharp engag cement
took place at Sailors Creek, where
Ewefl, Custis, Lee, Kershaw, and about
seven thousand men were captured,
after a fight severe and bloody, but sue
cessful on our part until those engaged
We're surrounded and overwhelmed.
General Lee was evidently much wor-
ried at the news brought to him of this
disaster and rode back to see if it were
possible to save anything. But the
enemy was now close to our line OF
march everywhere; they broke in at
various places, got among our trains,
and captur and burned many. Among
the commands captured in this way

shot dead one man who broke into his
store, and officers of the rear-guard
who left the city after daybreak re-
ported one man left hanging on a lamp
post and two or three other dead bodies
lying in the streets. This was prob
ably the work of a provost guard which
was about, though did not see it.
Shortly after daybreak the last of the
guns passed, and 1 went with them,
crossing the canal on a bridge already
on fire from the burning canal boat
which had foated or been pushed un-
derneath. About sunrise We took our
last look back from the hills at the
smoking and deserted city, which had
been defended so long and so well.
We marched all DAY, and bivouacked
at dark near Tomahawk Church, about
sixteen miles from Richmond. But
while the command rested and slept I
was sent on a reconnaissance of some
roads, which kept me in the saddle
during the whole night. Early on the
4th the march was resumed, and cross

and made hasty visits to their houses

one thing needful for those who We're
to remain was to see that they had a
few days provisions on hand; for with
the morning would come the enemy,
and the little remaining value of Con-
federate money would pass away like
the morning cloud and the early dew.
