himself, who a few hours before had written to
Lee, suggesting conference. At the time Of that
correspondence Grant was not an heroic-appear-
ing figure. Racked with ague and throbbing head
ache, he sat all day with his feet in tub of hot
mustard water, with mustard plasters neck and
wrists, seeking relief from torment. But the
brain cool and clear ever, and the hand
was of steel in glove Of velvet. 1t was not for
him to make even to talk of terms of peace.
Those were the duties AMI powers of statesmen.
1t for the soldier to receive the surrender of
the foe
In the early morning of April Q, therefore, from
amid the steaming water and the mustard plas-
tiers. Grant wrote again TO Lee reminding him Of
his inability to treat for peace, though assuring
him of his earnest desire therefor and urging
strongly an immediate surrender. Then, follow
ing his example at Donelson, where the pro-
posal for unconditional surrender" was coupled
with another "to Immediately upon your
works" though still rackeL with physical torture.
he placed himself at the head Of his army for, if
need be, the final blow Of the great steel hammer
which had for so many months been pounding the
overwhelming Confederate lines.
The blow, however was not to be struck. Lee
yielded; trebly showing the white flag, not Of
cowardice, but of manly surrender OF a Lost
Cause. One message went TO Grant, accedng 10
ms oner OF conference lOr SURRENDER, anu d
second TO Sheridan at the front, and third to
Meade at the of the Confederate position, APP
prising them of this, and requesting suspension of
the attack which they ad already begun Sheri-
dan and Meade not having heard from Grant at
first refused, fearing to enable the Confed-
crates TO escape or TO give Johnston time to come
up from North Carolina and join Lee, but present
ly agreed to withhold their hands for two hours
to give time for getting word from Grant.
That was enough. Lees messenger reached Grant.
Tho latter still racked and almost blinded with
sick headache; but the instant he saw the con-
tents of Lees note he cured. lie dashed off an
answering note. and then, in a worn and shabby
fatigue uniform. FASTENED TO Sherdan's head
quarters. That fiery fighter had his troops in

excited and demurred almost passionately TO

junction with Johnston. If Grant would only give
the word to Ego in," as he had done before on
a memorable OCCASION the Confederates would be
smashed to smithereens in about five minutes. But
Grant knew Lee, and had faith in his good faith.
So the order 70 go in" was not given
A little later Grant and Lee met, in the Nc
Lean house near Appomattox Court House. The
simple, scantily furnished room modest
setting for the transcendant scene; according,
however, with the appearance of the victor if not
with that of the vanquishej. For there was a
sticking contrast between the two. Grant was of
medium stature, in simple and almost shabby at
tire, swordless and unadorned, looking unkempt
and haggard after his night of yain. Lee always
of distinguished air lowered half a head above
him, and was Respondent in a dress uniform
and the costly sword which had been presented to
him by his native state. Neither betrayed the
emotions which he doubtless felt though of the
two Lee looked the more cheerful and Grant the
more depressed.
There was a cordial handclasp, and in a moment
the two were chatting about old times when they
had served together-though widely separated By
age and rankin the Mexican war. This talk ran
on until Grant was quite cbvious to all else and
had to be reminded by Lee Of the circumstances of
the present moment and of the purpose for
which they had met. Down to this time Grant had
when Lee asked him what terms he had to pro-
pose he almost stammerinsly replied that he had
nothing to suggest except that Lees men should
lay down their arms and rot take them up again
To this Lee assented. and then they again rambled
of into talk Of old times until once more Lee
called halt with the suggestion that those terms,
simple they were, would better be put INFO
writing
SO Grant took paper and pen, and with his own
ham wrote out the brief document, in the form
of personal note to Lee, which stood in effect
for treaty of peace between the nation and the
Confederacy. The officers were TO retain their
side arms. horses and baggage while the men
were TO surrender theirs, and then all were to be
paroled and TO 90 home. That was all. Lee read
the hote and accepted it, expressing qualification
at tn permission to officers TO retain their swords
and horses, which had not been mentioned be-
fore That led TO Lees saying that the men as

well the officers owned their horses. and ask
ing if they would be permitted to retain them.
Grant replied that under the terms of the note
written they would not. Lee read the note
again and agreed that that was so.
Then Grant remarked that he guessed there
would be no more fighting of any account at any
rate, he hoped so; and he supposed that most of
the men were farmers, whose lands had been
ravaged by the war, and who would have a pretty
hard time in planting crops that year under any
circumstances. If they hadn't any horses their
case would be almost hopeless They probably
woul. not be able to plant enough crops to carry
their families through the next winter. &c. as
the United States government had no use for the
horses and didn't want them, he would let the
men keep them, so that as they got home
they could go right at their spring ploughing, for
which it was already high time!
That was all. Lee wrote brief note accepting
the terms and Grant ordered Lees half famshed
men to be supplied with Federal rations as long as
they needed them. He also forbade his own troops

BY WILLIS FLETCHER JOHNSON.

-IFTY years ago this week the great war
ended. 1t had begun just three days less
L. than four years before. Its battles, great
and small had been fought upon the soil OF nearly
a score of states-at least half of the Union.
But probably more than half of the fighting and
the slaughter had occurred within the limits OF
the Old Dominion. The first shot had been fired
by a Virginian, though Carolinian SOIL and the
two Confederate commanders who so indisputably
outranked all others to stand forever apart IN
q class Of their own were Nirglnlans 1t was,
therefore an eternally fit decree Of fate that the
closing scene-for all that followed was the
merest postude-should occur within and at
almost the very heart Of that same historic state
Nearly two years before the Confederacy had
have been cut in twain from north TO south by the
opening Of the Mississippi; four months before l;
had again been sundered from west TO east, from
the mountains to the sea; and little later still
its last stronghold upon the coast had fallen.
few weeks before, Lee who at the beginning had
ranked only third on the list of brigade
manders, was as final counsel of desperation
made general of all the Confederate forces. But
il was too late. The disparity between the two
forces. in numbers, in equipment and in poten-
TALLY Of supplies steadily increasing for years,
had at last become overwhelming. The tragic,
heroic scene was set.
On April the hand was raised to strike.
Meade Sheridan and the rest had grit Lees
little remnant about with a Gordon of steel,
through which there was no escape, and at blow
could have destroyed him utterly. Lee realized
the fact, and, having shown himself great in at
tack in the early stages Of the war, and greater
still in defence in its later stages, now showed
himself greatest Of all in surrender at the end
A lesser man might have decided otherwise lie
might have bade his army disperse in petty bands
Of irreconcilable marauders and bushwhackers
which il would have cost the federal forces years
Of time and thousands of lives TO subdue. But
no such thought was in the mind and heart OF
this great patriot. Since the Confederacy could
not win in open, honorable warfare, 1t must con-
fess defeat and sue for peace. So on that day ne
wrote TO Grant, asking for peace negotiations
