rds, states the number of cavalry paroled at Appomattox at 1,786. Long makes it about 200 less. Th4,000 men of all arms to be accounted for at Appomattox, exclusive for the force for Richmond and Daed Lee on the retreat and accompanied him to Appomattox, and if all are properly included in the num men surrendered with arms in their hands at Appomattox, a writer of Humphreys' ability and great rem. He says: When Lee finally surrendered at Appomattox there were only 28,356 officers and men leftoves the number of small arms surrendered at Appomattox, it equally proves the number of cannon surrwing a part of the small arms surrendered at Appomattox, for between those dates the army of the Jamded to give the number of cannon captured at Appomattox, it is proved by undisputable historical evideau's idea, must also have been captured at Appomattox, for, as we have seen, there was no other plt only 23,000 men to bring 32,000 muskets to Appomattox, if every soldier whose duty it was to bear [29 more...]

er. Hill's reputation as a soldier depends in nowise upon successful running. This final retreat was the first and last in which he took a leading part. When once more his foot was planted upon the soil of North Carolina, it was eminently fitting that he who heard the first victorious shouts of her first regiment in the first fight in Virginia, should lead her brave sons in the last charge of the grand army of the great west within her own borders. Again, as in the last onset of Cox at Appomattox, North Carolina soldiers stood the highest test of the hero by facing danger in a gallant charge when they knew that all hope of success was gone forever. Last years—true character. The last years of General Hill's life were devoted to journalism and to teaching. As the editor of The Land We Love, and subsequently of The Southern Home, he wielded a trenchant pen, and was a potent factor in putting down the post-bellum statesmen who proposed to relegate to the shades of private life

Feeding General Lee's army. [from the Washington Post, January 25, 1894.] A New version of an incident of the surrender at Appomattox. Editor of the Washington Post: The incidents connected with the order for the issue of rations to General Lee's army at the time of the arrangement of the details of the surrender, as given in the account published in your issue of the 20th instant, are not quite accurate as to the personnel involved, according to my recollection. I was General Grant's chief commissary, and was present in the room during the interview between him and General Lee. After the terms of the surrender had been agreed upon, General Lee said to General Grant: General, I would like my army fed. General Grant turned to me, as his chief commissary, and said: Colonel, feed the Confederate army. I asked: How many men are there? General Grant asked: How many men have you, General Lee? General Lee replied, Our books are lost; our organizations are broken

enemy's lines. The wheel driver, however (Chew Coleman, of Spotsylvania, by name), kept his seat, although next to the exploded chest, and the heat set fire to his jacket, which burned through to the skin, and, notwithstanding the flesh was crisping up, and he was suffering the most excruciating pain, he did not let go the reins, but stopped the horses, thereby preventing them from taking the team into the enemy's lines. He then fell or jumped from his horse nearly exhausted. While this was going on two or three of the cannoneers jumped between the exploded ammunition chest (which was now harmless) and the one on fire and unlimbered it and got out of the way before the fire communicated with the powder, which occurred two or three seconds after, when up went the other two chests with a terrific noise. These I regard as the bravest exploits that came under my observation in the four years of the war—from Bethel to Appomattox. Charles P. Young, Late of Crenshaw Battery, C. S.
