The consequence was that Lee from the time he crossed the Potomac had no come advance of the Federal army was a surprise to Lee. Hill had on the 30th of June encamped with twoor would not have had any order to bear to him. Lee would have witnessed not only the fleeing enemy at the same time. A careful examination, says Lee, was made of the ground secured by Longstreet, d such was the position of the hostile forces. Lee's plan to make an assault was dangerous and hazeneral as to the wisdom of making the assault.

cts that did occur on that day. If you will allow me space in your valuable paper I will tell the story as I saw it. On the morning of the 9th, at 7 o'clock, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's division of cavalry, commanded by Gen. T. T. Munford, made a detour to the right of our army, passing in the rear of Gen. Grant's forces until we reached twhite flag. The firing ceased; we met the officer and he introduced himself as Captain Sheridan, of General Custer's staff. He informed us that Generals Grant and Lee were holding a conference looking to the surrender of General Lee's army. He asked us to cease firing until the result of the conference was made known.

We can plainly see the dome of the capitol and other prominent buildings, Arlington Heights (General Lee's old home), and four lofty redoubts well manned with huge, frowning cannon. Several hundred pound shells burst over on at the re-enlistment of his old brigade of Alabamians, and at their leading the entire army in this noble action. Gen. Lee in a letter addressed to Hon. T. J. Foster, dated Jan. 31, 1864, used these words: I do not see how the good of th
