SURRENDER OF THE ARMY OF
NORTHERN VIRGINIA.
Gen. Lee’s Order to His Troops on the
Occasion of His Surrender to
Gen. Grant.
Headquarters
Army Northern Virginia,
Adril 10, 1865.
General Order,
No. 9.
After four years of hard service,
marked by unsurpassed courage
and fortitude, the Army of North
ern Virginia has been compelled
to yield to overwhelming numbers
and resources. I neednot tefl the
brave survivors of so many hard-
fought battles, who have remain
ed steadfast to the last, that I
have consented to this result from
no distrust of them; but feeling
that valor and devotion could ac
complish nothing that would com
pensate for the loss that must have
attended the continuance of the
contest, I determined to avoid the
useless sacrifice of those whose
past services have endeared them
to their countrymen.
By the terms of agreement, of
ficers and men can return to their
homes and there remain until ex
changed. You will take with you
the satisfaction that proceeds
from the consciousness of duty
faithfully performed; and I earn
estly pray that a merciful God
will extend His blessings to your
country, and with a grateful re
membrance of your kind and gen
erous consideration for myself, I
bid you all an affectionate fare
well. R. E-. Lee, General.

great care must he taken that the

General Johnston’s Order To The Ar

General Order,
No.18.
By the terms of a military con
vention made on the 26th inst.,
by Major Gen’l W. T. Sherman,
U. S. A., and Gen’] J. E. John
ston, C. S. A., the officers and
men of this army are to bind
themselves not to take up arms
against the United States until
properly relieved from that obli
gation, and shall receive guaran
ties from the United States offi
cers against molestation by the
United States authorities so long
as they observe that obligation
and the laws in force wjiere they
reside.
For these objects duplicate mus
ter rolls will be made out imme
diately, and after the distribution
of the necessary papers, the troops
will be marched under their offi
cers to their respective States, and
there be disbanded, all retaining
private property.
The object of this convention is
pacification to the extent of the
authority of the commanders who
made it. Events in Virginia
which broke every hope of success
by war, imposed on its General
the duty of sparing the blood of
our gallant soldiers and saving our
country from fnther devastation
and ruin. J. E. Johnston,
General.
Hay lozenges are the popular
confectionary among army horses
in the Philippines and South Af
rica, says the Youth’s Companion.
The food, or rather the form of it,
is a Yankee invention, called into
existence by the circumstance of
war in a country lacking good
roads. Hay put up in the ordina
ry bale cannot be transported on
horseback, because of its weight
and bulk. It is therefore com
pressed by powerful machinery
into disks a foot or eighteen inch
es iii diameter and two inches
thick. The disks are packed into
rolls, like the lozenges the train
boys sell, and hung in slings from
the horse’s back, one on each side.
A single lozenge, when broken up
and opened out, makes a meal for
a horse or mule, and will cure
him of that hungry feeling as
quickly as a mangerful of fresh
hay. The compactness of the new
bale also means a great saving in
freight.

“My son,” said the fond but
wise parent, according to the New
York Commercial Advertiser,
“you are leaving me to go out in
to the world. I have nothing to
give you but advice.' Never tell a
lie. If you wish to put one in
circulation, get it published. A
lie cannot live, but it takes one a
blamed long time to fade out of
print.
“Always read your contract. A
man might Consider he was get
ting a sinecure if he were offered
a position picking blossoms off a
century plant, but, you see he
wouldn’t have a remunerative oc
cupation if he were paid oh piece
work.
“Be not overcritical. Even the
most ordinary sort of a genius can
tell when the other fellow, is mak
ing a fool of himself.
“Remember that the young
man, like the angler’s Worm, is
rather better for being visibly
alive.
“Be careful in the chocie of
your surroundings. Environ
ment will do a great deal for a
man. For example, flour and wa
ter in a china jug is cream sauce;
in a pail on the sidewalk it is bill-
sticker’s paste.
“Don’t forget that there’s a
time for everything and that
everythiug should be done in its
proper time. Never hunt for bar
gains in umbrellas on a rainy day.
“You may make enemiei. If
you know who they are don’t men
tion them. Silence is golden; it
saves the money that might oth
erwise be spent in defending
libel suit. If you don’t know who
they are, well, abuse lavished on
a concealed enemy is like char
ity indiscriminately bestowed.
It’s a good thing wasted.”

How Young Men Succeed. .
Samuel Sloan, the great rail
way magnate, struck the right key
note in a recent issue of the Sat
urday Evening Post:
“I know of no better guide for
the young man who wants to steer
clear of failure' than the Bible.
The good old Book has lost none
of its helpfulness in the on roll
ing of the centuries, and is to-day
the best chart, extant for the
youthful voyager on life’s stormy
sea. It is the custom of some
men to sneer at the teaching of
Holy Writ, but they are not the
men who have attained the great
est heights in either business or
society. Let a young man study
the wisdom of the Bible, and ac
quaint himself with its naked,
strenuous truth, and he cannot
go far wrong in his everyday life.
Fortified by a sound, moral self
training, the young business men
of to-day will never know the real
bitterness of failure, and the lives
of those who go down in the strug
gle for existence will be to such a
young man a perpetual wonder.’
