This proved to be the actual case, for, in fact, the steamship Lewis was wrecked April 9; 1853, on Duck-worth reef, Baulinas Bay, about eighteen miles above the entrance to San Francisco.

I am instructed to limit my operations to your immediate command, and not to attempt civil negotiations. I therefore demand the surrender of your army on the same terms as were given to General Lee at Appomattox, April 9th instant, purely and simply. Of course, both these papers were shown to General Grant at the time, before they were sent, and he approved of them. At the same time orders were sent to all parts of the army to be ready to resume the pursuit of the enemy on the expiration of the forty-eight hours truce, and messages were sent to General Gillmore (at Hilton Head) to the same effect, with instructions to get a similar message through to Genera] Wilson, at Macon, by some means.
