April 9, 1873.
I have just returned from an ex
ceedingly pleasant visit to Appomat
tox Court House. The intelligent
Clerk, and Sheriff of the county, -and
other gentlemen of the village and
neighborhood were very courteous and
obliging in pointing out the historic
localities, and I found a sad interest
in seeing the road by which Sheridan
moved on Appomatox station, tire
ground on which Gordon whipped
Sheridan in the last battle of the
Army of Northern Virginia, Grant’s
headquarters, Lee’s headquarters, the
very spot on which Lee and Grant
first met, the room in which the terms
of capitulation were drawn up and
signed, the ground on which the Con
federate arms were stacked, the place
where Gen. Lee took leave of his of
ficers, ■•and ether points of interest.
As so many errors have crept into
the popular accounts of the surrender
and as I have Gen. Lee’s own account,
which he gave a company of his
friends, a few days before his fatal ill
ness, and which has never been pub-*
lished, I have concluded that on this
anniversary of the “ sad 9th of April,
1865,” it would be grateful to my own
feelings and acceptable to the public
I that I should give,
I TIIE TRUE STORY OF APPOMATTOX COURT
HOUSE.
I will not go back to detail how
Gen. Lee’s thin line was broken on the
2d of April, 1865, and he thereby-com
pelled under every disadvantage, to
evacuate Richmond and Petersburg
and seek the junction with Johnson,
which he had determined on and ac
tually began to accomplish six weeks
before. Nor need I tell of his cruel
•disappointment in finding at Amelia
Court House that his positive orders
had been disregarded, and, the rations
intended tor his famishing army sent
to Richmond to be destroyed,while the
trains were loaded with consignments
to Sherman. I will not sketch the events
of the “running fight” from Amelia
Springs to Appomattox. Suffice it to
say that Grant had been enabled by
having the shorter route, by the delay
of Gen. Lee on account of the swoll
en condition of the streams, and by
the necessary halt at Amelia Court
House, to throw this immense army
on the flank of his antagonist, to cut
off our line of retreat to Danville, and
to be in position to continually harrass
our jaded, starving troops. The broks
en down mules and horses were un
able to drag the wagons (even lightly
loaded) and the artillery along the
miry roads. Sheridan’s splendidly
mounted and equipped cavalry were
able to make most advantageous forays
upon the trains, and often Lee was
obi tged to halt and fight for hours,
and fight eight or ten times bis num
bers upon the most disadvantageous
ground, until the j-aded teams could
pull the trains out of the mud.
In all of these contests the Army
of Northern Virginia maintained its
old prestige ; the men fought with
heroic courage, and won some most
brilliant victories. But the constant
marching and fighting without rations
or sleep steadily and surely decimated
the thin ranks of this noblo band.—
Men who had been true to their colors
from the early days of the war fell out
of ranks and were captured simply
because it was bejjpund their power
or physical endurance to go any fur
ther ; many who had been hitherto
good soldiers straggled ; the devoted
and Strong found great difficulty in
preserving organization and efficiency;
and as the retreat rolled on by the
light of burning wagons and to the
music of horse artillery, mingled with
the rattle of small arms, the corps
commanders saw that the days of that
grand ohl army were numbered.
Accordingly, on Thursday night (the
6th of April) they held a conference,
at which they commissioned Gen, W.
N.. Pendleton (chief of artillery) to in
form Gen. Lee that in their judgment,
the time had come when negotiations
should be opened with Gen. Grant.
General Pendleton thus describes
the interview : “ Gen. Lee was lying
on the ground. No other heard the
conversation between him and myself.
He received my communication with
the reply, Gracious heavens » I t.iust
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1873.
that it has not come to that.’ And
added, ‘General, we have yet too
many bold men to think of laying
down our arms. The enemy do not
fight with spirit, while our boys still
do. Besides, if we were to say a
word to the Federal commander, lie
would legard it as such a confession
of weakness as to make it the occa
sion of demanding unconditional sur
render a proposal to which I will nev
er listen. 1 have resolved to die first;
and that if it comes to that we shall
lorce through or all fall in our places.
* * General, this is no new ques
tion with me. I have never believed
we could, aginst the gigantic combi
nation tor our subjugation, make good
in the long run our independence un
less foreign powers should directly or
indirectly, assist us. This I was sure
it was their interest and duty to do,
and I hoped they would so regard it.
But such considerations really made
with me no difference. We had, I
was satisfied, sacred principles to
maintain and rights to defend for
which we were in duty bound to do
our brst, even if we perished iu tlie
endeavor 3 ’
These were, as nearly as I can re
call them, the exact words of General
Lee on the most critical occasion.—
You see in them the soul of the man.
What his conscience dictated and his
judgment decided, there his heart was.
General Lee did not think proper to
comply at once with tlie Suggestion
of his-corps commanders, but when, on
the night of the next day (the 7th) he
received from General Grant a de
mand tor the surrender of his army,
he opened the correspondence (too fa
miliar to need repetition here) which
culminated in the final terms of sur
render. But in the meantime, Gener
al Lee was pressing on towards Lynch
burg, and on the evening of the Bth
his vanguard reached Appomattox sta.
tion, where rations for the anny had
been orderd to be sent from Lynch
burg, Four loaded trains were in
sight, and the famished army about
to be supplied, when the head of Sheri
dan’s column dashed upon the scene,
captured the provision’s and drove
the vanguard back to Appomattox
Court House, four miles off. Sheridan’s
impetuous troopers met a sudden and
bloody check in the streets of the vil
lage, the Colonel commanding the
advance being killed. That morning
General Lee had divided the remnant
of his army into twe wings, under
Gordon and Longstreet—Gordon hav
ing the advance and Longstreet the
rear. Upon the repulse of the cavalry,
Gordon’s corps advanced through the
village and spent another night of
sleepless vigilance and anxiety, while
Longstreet, four miles in the rear, had
to entrench agansl the Army of the
Potomac under Meade. (I gazed the
other day with mournful interest on
the last trenches ever dug by Lee’s
veterans.) That night General Lee
held a council of war with Longstreet,
Gordon and Fitz Lee, at which it was
determined that Gordon should ad
vance early the next morning to “feel’’
the enemy in his front—that if there
was nothing but cavalry he should
press on, followed by Longstreet—but
that if Grant’s infantiy had gotten up
in too large force to be driven, he
should halt and notify General Lee,
that a flag of truce be raised, and the
useless sacrifice of life stopped.
Accordingly, on the morning of the
memorable 9th of April, Gordon and
Fitz Lee attacked Sheridan’s splendid
cavalry, outnumbering them more
than two to one and.flushed with full
confidence of victory and the assu
rance that if they needed support the
“Army of the James’ was close at
hand. Yet, despite these odds and
the exhaustion of these famishing
men, they went into that fight with
the heroic courage which ever char
acterized that old corps, and proved
themselves not unworthy of Stone
wall Jackson, Ewell, Early, Gordon,
Rhodes, Ramseur, Pegram, J.A.Walk
er, C. A. Evans, and other noble leads
ers whom they had been wont to fol
low to victory. Utterly unable to
withstand the onset, Sheridan hast
ened in person to hurry up the Army
of the James, while Gordon drove his
“invincible troopers” more than a mile,
and captured and brought off two
pieces of artillery and a large number
of prisoners.
Had only Sheridan barred the way,
the surrender had not occurred at
Appomattox Court House; but Gor
don only drove back the cavalry to
find himself confronted by the “Army
of the James,” and the road blocked
bv ten times his numbers.
What immediately fi.flowed is best
told in the eloquent words ot Colonel
C. S. Venable in his speech at the
o-reat Lee Memorial meeting iu Rich
mond, November 3rd, 1870: #
“At three o’clock on the morning
of that fatal day General Lee rode
forward, still hoping that he might
break through the countless hordes of
the enemy which hemmed us iu.
Halting a short distance in rear of
our vanguard, he sent me on to Gen
era! Gordon to ask him if he eould
break through the enemy. I found
General Gordon and General Fitz Lee
on their frout line in the dim light ot
the morning arranging an attack.
Gordon’s reply to the message (I give
the expressive phrase of the gallant
Georgian) was this: “Tell General Lee
I have fought my corps to a frazzle,
and I tear I can do nothing unless I
am heavily supported by Longstreet’s
corps. YV lien I bore this message
back to General Lee, he said: ‘Then
there is nothing left me but to "o
and see General Grant, amd I would
rather die a thousand deaths. Con
vulsed with passionate grief, manv
were the wild words which we spoke
as we stood around him. Said one:
“Oh ! General, what will history say
of the surrender of the army in the
field ?”
lie replied: “ I know they will
say hard things of us; they will not un
derstand how we were overwhelmed
by numbei-s; but that is not the ques
tion Colonel; the question is, is it
right to surrender this army? If it is
right, then I will take all the respon
sibility.” Fellow-soldiers, though he
alone was calm in that hour of humil
iation, the soul of our great Captain
underwent the throes of death for his
grand old army surrendered, and for
his people, so soon to lie at the mercy
of the loe; and the sorrows of this first
death at Appomattox Court House,
with the afflictions which fell upon
the devoted South, weighed upon
his mighty heart to itsbreaking, when
the welcome messenger came from
God to translate him to his home in
Heaven ”
But this letter is long enough, and
I must reserve for another General
Lee’s own account ot his meeting
with General Grant, and other inci
dents of tlie surrender.

April 9, 1873.
“The situation ” at Appomattox on
the 9th of April, 1865, when General
Lee sent a flag of truce to ask an in-*
terview with General Grant, was sim
ply this : There were only 7,509 ja
ded famished Confederates with arms
in their hands, .nearly surrounded by
eighty thousand Federal soldiers al>
ready in position, with reinforcements
constantly arriving. Gordon fell back
through the village and moved to meet
an attack of Sheridan on the flank,
while General Chamberlayne led the
advance corps of the array of the
James into the Court-House. A bat
tery of the Richmond Howitzers,
which had been engaged at Big Be
thel in 1861, stationed in the yard of
Mr. Peers, in the extreme northern
end of the village, fired the last gnu,
and withdrew as the blue waves were
encircling it. The Federal picket line
was advanced beyond the village, and
that little band of heroic spirits seemed
about to be immolated, when sudden
ly the white flag was displayed and
the firing ceased. There have been so
many sensational reports of the meets
ing between the two commanders that
I am glad to be able to refute them
by giving
GENERAL LEE’S OWN ACCOUNT OF WHAT
OCCURED,
as he gave to some friends at his house
in Lexington, but a few days before
his last illness. He said that he had
for duty that morning not eight thou
sand men, and that when he learned
from Gordon that there was a heavy
infantry force in his front, he decided
to see General Grant and ascertain the
terms upon which he could end the
contest. But before goiug to meet
him he left orders with Longstreet and
Gordon to hold their commands in
readiness, determined, as he was, to
cut his way through or perish in the
attempt if such terms were not grant
ed as he thought his army entitled to
demand. He met General Grant be
tween the picket lines, in the open
field, about two hundred yards below
Appomattox Court House.
• THE HISTORIC APPLE TREE.
“Y r ou met under an apple tree did
you not, General ? ” asked a gentleman
present. “No sir,' was the reply,
“we did not meet under an apple
tree, and I saw no tree near. It was
in au open field, not far from the main
road,” (This explodes the historic
apple tree, about which so much has
been said. A gentleman who was
within a few feet of the two generels
when they met, pointed out to me
the exact spot. Tlie apple tree, which
was cut to pieces, and even the roots
of which were dug up and carried off
by relic hunters, was fully a quarter
of a mile from the place of meeting,
and the only historic interest that
could be attached to it was that Gen
eral Lee rested under its shade a few
minutes while waiting for the return
of his flag of truce. The only tree
anywhere near the place of meeting
was a small locust-thorn, which is still
standing about twenty yards from the
spot.)
TIIE INTERVIEW BETWEEN LEE AND
GRANT.
General Lee said that when he met
General Grant they exchanged polite
salutations, and lie stated to hitn at
once that he desired a conference in
reference to the subject matter of their
correspondence. “ General Grant re
turned yon your sword, did he not,
General ? ” one of the company asked.
The ohl hero, straightening himself
up, replied in most emphatic tones:
“ No, sir !he did not. He had no op
portunity of doing so. I was deter
mined that the side-arms of officers
should be excepted by the terms of
surrender, and ot course I did not of
fer him mine. All that was said
about swords was that General Grant
apologized to me for not wearing his
own sword, saying that it had gone
off in his baggage, and he had been
unable to get it in time.” (This
spoils a great deal of rhetoric about
“ Grant’s magnanimity in returning
Lee’s sword,” and renders as absurd
as it is false the attempt of Northern
artists to put the scene on canvass or
or into statuary. Even Grant’s con
nivance at this socalled “historic
scene ” will not save it when the
world knovvs that R. E. Lee said that
nothing of the sort occurred.)Genc\'3i\
Lee stated in this conversation that
he was accompanied when he met
Grant only by Colonel Charles Mar
shall, of his personal staff, who went
with one ot General Giant’s staff to
find a suitable room in which to hold
the conference; that they were first
shown to a vacant house, and declin
ing to use that were conducted by Ma
jor McClean to his house and shown
into his parlor. General Grant was ac
companied by several of his staff offi
cers, and several of his generals
(among them Sheridan and Old) en
tered the room and participated in the
slight general conversation that oc
curred. The two generals went aside
and sat at a table to confer together,
when General Lee opened the convert
sation by saying; “ General I deem
it due proper candor and frankness to
say at the very beginning of this inter
view that I am not willing even to
discuss any terms of surrender incon-,
sisfeent with
THE HONORS OF MY ARMY,
which I am determined to maintain
to the last.” Grant replied :“ I have
no idea of proposing dishonorable
terms, General, but I would be glad if
you would state what you consider
honorable terms ” General Lee then
briefly stated the terms upon which
he would be willing to surrender.
Grant expressed himself as satisfied
with them, and Lee requested that he
would formally reduce the propositions
to writing. Grant at once did so with
a common lead pencil, and handed the
paper to Lee, who read it carefully
and without comment except to say
that most of the horses were the pri
vate property of the men riding them.
Gen. Grant replied that such horses
would be exempt from surrender, and
the paper was then handed Colonel
Badeau (Grant’s secretary) and copies
in ink made by him and Colonel Mar
shall. While this was being done
there were inquiries after the health of
mutual acquaintances, but nothing
bearing on the surrender, except that
General Lee said that he had on his
hands some two or three thousand
prisoners for whom he had no rations.
Sheridan at once said : “I have ra
tions for 25,000 men.”
General Grant having signed his
note, General Lee conferred with Col
onel Marshall, who \vrote his brief
note of acceptance of the terms of sur
render offered, General Lee striking
out the sentence “ I have the honor to
reply to your communication,” and
substituting “ I have received your
letter of this date.”
This terminated the interview, and
General Lee rode back to his head
quarters, which were three quarters of
a mile northeast of the Court House.
I have thus given the substance, and
for the most part the exact language
of General Lee’s own account of the
surrender. It will appear from this
that .a great deal that has been said
about
“ grant’s magnanimity ”
iu proposing the terms of surrender,
aud Lee’s “ warm thanks for the lib
eral terms accorded,” originated sim
ply in the imagination of the writers.
The truth is, that Grant proposed the
only terms which Lee would have ac-
cepted, and lie knew too well the
metal of that great captain and the
heroic remnant of the army which had
so often defeated him, not to rejoice
at an opportunity of covering himself
with glory in accepting almost any
terms of surrender.
I gathered a number of
INCIDENTS OF THE SURRENDER
which interested me and may be of
interest to your readers : Soon after
Geueral Lee left the McClean House,
owned by the same gentleman, at
whose house, near Bull Run, Beaure
gard had his head-quarters during the
battle of July 18,1861,Sheridan staik
ed in and said, rudely, “ I mean to
have this chair—-taking up one of the
chairs in which the Generals had sign
ed the terms of capitulation, and ex
hibiting at the same time a $2,50
gold-piece. Major McClean replied,
“That chair is not foi sale, Geueral.
If you choose to take it you have the
physical power to do so.” “I mean to
have it,” was the curt rejoinder; and
tlie “ Great Barn-Burner ” gave an
other proof of skill in petit larceny.
The table and other chairs were in
like manner carried off by Federal
officers as souvenirs.
As soon as the flag of truce was
hoisted on Gordon’s line the offensive
General Custar (“ Miss Fanny ”) came
riding furiously in lo General Gordon,
demanding, in bis own name, “ uncon
ditional surrender.” Gordon drew
himself up to his full height, and with
crushing dignity replied : “ I can ha' e
no negotiation with yG«, sir; and if
the settlement of this matter rested
between us there could be no negotia
tions but by the the sword.”
As showing the spirit of the men
who partiepated in the brilliant action
that morning it may be mentioned
that many of them crowded around
the bearer of one of the flags of truce
—a widely known and loved chaplain,
who, since the capture of his regiment
at Spottsylvania Courthouse, had
served with great gallantry on Gen.
Gordon’s staff—and eagerly Asked if
the enemy had sent in to surrender
their force on that road, thinking that
in flanking us Grant had pushed a
part of his force too far. They had no
dream that they were to be surren
dered. But gradually the truth broke
upon them, and great was their chat
grin when these highsmettled victors
in the last battle of the Army of
Northern Virginia learned that they
must “ yield to overwhelming num
bers and resources ” —that alter aD
their marches, battles, victories, hard
ships and sufferings, the cause they
loved better than life itself must suo
cumb to M’ute force. Many bosoms
heaved with emotion, and
“ Something on the soldier’s cheeks
Washed off the stain of powder.”
After the flag of truce was raised
A FEDERAL SCOUT WAS SHOT
through mistake by his own men,
when trying to stop the firing, and a
New major, under the influence
of liquor, met his death by galloping
up to a Confederate battery and de
manding its surrender.
The women and children of Appo
mattox Court-house had all left their
homes during the battle of the morns
ing, and upon their return had to pass
through , Custar’s cavalry. “Miss
Fanny ” himself was very rude to
them, and permitted his men to kiss
them as they passed.
Per contra it affords me pleasure to
say that many of the Federal officers
and men were very courteous and con
siderate. The citizens of the village
speak in especially high terms ot Gen
eral Chamberlayne (since Governor of
Maine,) who was delicately consider
ate of the feelings of the people, gen
tlemanly in his bearing, and generous
towards the vanquished.
When the arms were being stacked
A GALLANT COI.ORSBEARER,
as he delivered up the tattered rem*
nant of his flag, burst into tears and
said to the Federal soldiers who re*
ceived it: “Boys, this it not the first
time you have seen that flag. I have
borne it in the very fore-front of the
battle on many a victorious field, and
I had rather die than surrender it
now.” “ Brave fellow,” said Gen.
Chamberlayne, who heard the remark,
“ I admire your noble spirit, and only
regret that I have not the authority
lo bid you keep your flag and carry
it home as a precious heirsloom,”
THE CALM DIGNITY OF GEN. LEE
amid these trying scenes, the deep
emotion with which the men heard
his noble farewell address, and crowed
around to shake his hand—how they
were thrilled by bis simple words,
“ Men, we have fought through the
war together. I have done my best
for you ; my heart is too full to say
more.” Gen. Gordon’s noble farewell
speech—the tender parting cf com- |
rades who had been bound so closely ;
together by common hardships, suffer
ings, dangers and victories, and now,
