GEN. LEE A PRISONER OE WAR
SAD i ETAILS.
Newberry, Thursday April 20.
From the Carolinian we make a sum
mary of the sad intelligence below. Prior to
tlie eventful Sunday of capitulation and
from the evacuation of Richmond and
Petersburg, our army suffered from retreat
and disasters and was sorely pressed bv
overwhelming odds, but still fought brave
ly until completely surrounded.
Sunday April Sth, a bright clear beau
tiful day, but it opened gloomily. Our
army liad reached Appomattox C. H. on
the road to Lynchburg. Thomas, with
his army had arrived before us. and effect
ed a junction with Grant ; cavalry, infantry
and artillery completely surrounded our
little command. We had from 5 to 800U
prisoners and only SOOO effective men
with muskets all told. The supply of
ammunition was nearly exhausted. In
this emergency Gen. Lee determined to
cut his way through : orders were given
for a grand charge and our troops massed
accordingly.
Gen. Grimes’ Division led the charge,
followed successively by two others. The
engagement commenced shotlly after sun
rise and was continued until our men had
broken through the Federal lines, driving
them nearly a mile and a half and captured
several peices of artillery and several hun
dred prisoners. The old spirit of fight
was unsubdued. Meanwhile a heavy

THE RATTLE OF tOI-THUl*.
- CAPTURE OF THE CITY.
We have authentic information of the battle in front
of Columbus on Saturday afternoon nnd night, and the
capture of the city.
At four o’clock on that morning the Yankee force,
embracing six thousand mounted infantry and cavalry,
with two pieces of light artillery, passed through
Opelika, without scarcely making a halt. Taking the
Columbus road, their advance reached our picket line,
about two miles from the city, about two o'clock ; a
few musket shots drove them back, when they immedi
ately advanced in force, hut came up very cautiously.
Skirmishing with the advanced vidett* and pieke’ts
commenced at four, and continued, nt irregular inte
vals, until night, when the buttle opened furiously
along the whole line.
All accounts agree that the citizen soldiery of Colum- j
bus, as well as the regular troops, fought with a hero

Lee tendered his sword to Genl. Grant,
in token of surrender. That officer, how
ever, with a courtesy, for which we must
accord him due respect, declined to re
ceive it — or receivi^, declined to retain
it, and accompanied its return with sub
stantially the following remarks : “Geu.
Lee, keep that sword, you have won it by
your gallantry, you have not been whip
ped, but overpoweied, and I cannot re
ceive it as a token of surrender from so
brave a man.” The reply of Genl. Lee,
we do not know. But Grant and himself
ate said to have been deeply att’ectcd by
the solemnity-of the occasion, and to
havo shed tears. The scene occurred i

he settled in Prairie du Cliicn, while Wisconsin was
yet a province of France. Before the Revolutionary
war, he was employed to carry letters between Prairie

du C’hieu, to give testimony in relation to events that
transpired eighty years before. He now resides with
a daughter by hi? third wife, who is over seventy years
of age.
The residence of the family is only four or five mile*
from Portage City. The old mau is still active, is able
to chop wood, and walks several miles. He speaks
English quite imperfectly, but converse* fluently in the
French language. He stoops a little under burden of

The line was immediately repaired.
This squad of cavalry, rode immediately to, and
took possession of the remaining bridge— theothertwo
having been previously burned. Gen. Howell Cobb
was on the field commanding in person and noblv did
his duty. This cavalry rode in ten steps of his ’head-
quart* rs, and had a conversation with him, but the
night being intensely dark, he failed to recognize
them.
When they gained the bridge they quietly took eve
ry oue prisoner who came up. At last the General
became concerned nbout the return of several courier*
whom lie fcad dispatched to the city, and who should
have been back sometime before. He therefore sent
a member of his staff to the bridge, who wns also taken
and disarmed, but made his escape to this side and
gave the foregoing particular*.
Wfiat dispositions were made of our forces after
that are not precisely known, but it is supposed that
they drew off both up mid down the river.
The enemy entered the town at half pait nine o’
clock.
No trains belonging to any railroad on this side were
captured. The Opelika road lost five engines and
■severul car*, in conseqAmce of their guage being nar
row. We lost few stores, as nearly everything ot con
sequence had been removed.
We lost very few men killed and wounded, a* they
were we!l protected by breastwork*. The enemy
lost twenty times as many as we did. Every man
iu the city, able to bear arms, was ou the field and
fought wit ii the noblest heroism. Had the fight taken
place in daylight we would certainly have won a vic
tory, «s it was, the hated vandals paid most dearly' ror
what they won. No apprehensiou wa* felt al to the
safety of Gen. Cobb's army.
Col. V011 Ziuken was severely wounded by a horse
running against him.
Gen. Forrest is supposed to be immediately in tbe
rear, and approaching rapidly. Geu. Buford was pres
ent, and fired every barrel of his navies at them. It
is confidently expected that the entire force of the
raiders will be captured. It does not now number
five thousand.
Our whole force in the fight did not exceed twenty-
five hundred.;—Moron Paper.
Quick Witted.—A few days siuce we called on
some ladies who were engaged in making artificial
(lowers, which they handed to us to be admired. Of
course we thought them very pretty, but remarked
that Spring could beat them making flowers.
One of them promptly replied, "1 think she ought to,
she lias been at it longer.’’
y, every sympton of respect
manifested, and the Southern Army was
praised for thfi bravo and noble manner
in which it had defended our cause.
The force of the Yankee Army is estimated at
200,000 men. Our own at the time of surrender,
embraced not more than tight thousand effective
infantry and two thousand cavalry, hut it is sajd
that the total number paroled was about twenty-
three thousand men of ail arms and condrtions.
All the Federal* spoke of Gen. Lee in terms of
unbounded praise. The rcniaik was frequently
made, “he would receive as many.cheers iu going
down our lines as Gen. Grant liimselt.” It is un
derstood that Gens. Lee and Lotigstreet and-other
officers, are now ou parole in the city ot Richmond.

After four years of arduous service, marked by
unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army ot
Northern Virginia hns beeu compelled to yield to
overpowering numbers and resources.
1 need not tell the brave survivors of so many
hard fought b 1 ttles, w ho have remained steadfast
to the last, that 1 have consented to this result
from 110 distrust of them. But leeling that valor
and devotion could accomplish nothing that could
compensate for the loss that would have attended
the continuance of .the contest, I determined to
avoid the useless sacrifice of those w hose past, ser
vices have endeared them to their countrymen.
By. the terms offthe agreement, officers and
men can return to their homes, and remain until
exchanged. You will take with you the satisfac
tion that proceeds from the conciousuess of duty
faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a
merciful God will exteud to you his blessing and
protection.
