Hostilities in that quarter ceased at once, and Bowen and Colonel Montgomery, an aide-de-camp of Pemberton, were soon seen wending their way from the works of Vicksburg towards the national lines. The rebel soldiers instantly became excited, conjecturing that a surrender was contemplated; but, to counteract this, vor the proposition of appointing commissioners to arrange the terms of capitulation, because I have no terms other than those indicated above.
