The two generals met on the 5th of April at High Bridge on the Appomattox, at the head of their forces, and a duel with pistols ensued. General Read was instantly killed, but General Dearing lingered for a few days after the surrender of General Lee, when he died in the old City hotel at Lynchburg.

Garza, the Governor of Tamaulipas, pretending friendship, betrayed him to the Congress of that State, and he was immediately arrested, and, without a tri
