se last sad days which closed our grand struggle for independence. Neither of these telegrams have ever been published in any form, so far as we know: Charlotte, N. C., April 24, 1865. General J. E. Johnston, Greensboroa, N. C.: The Secretary of War has delivered to me the copy you handed to him of the basis of an agreem of the General Commanding the United States forces to proceed with the arrangement. Jefferson Davis. Official: M. H. Clark, Chief Clerk Executive Office. Charlotte, N. C., April 24, 1865. General J. E. Johnston, Greensboroa, N. C.

The files of that office which could best afford this information were carefully boxed up and taken on our retreat from Richmond to Charlotte, North Carolina, where they were unfortunately captured, and, as I learn, are now in Washington, where they are arranged in a separate building, with other records appertaining to the Confederacy. I presume that by proper management reference might be had to them. Indeed, I had at one time contemplated to make an effort to renew my acquaintance with those records by a personal application to the authorities in Washington; but I finally abandoned the idea. * * It would afford me much pleasure to

t upon the suggestion that General Breckinridge was a Major-General in the army, he agreed to receive him as such. That the articles as signed bear the impress of General Breckinridge's concise and statesmanlike mind, it is not necessary to indicate by special reference save as to those sections or articles relating strictly to civil and constitutional points proposed to be settled by the treaty. While action by the Federal Government was pending, General Breckinridge repaired to Charlotte, North Carolina, where President Davis then was, and in a letter dated April 23d submitted to him various reasons why the war should close, and why it was his duty, as President of the Confederacy, to do all in his power to terminate it. The letter closed with the following: Whatever course you pursue, opinions will be divided. Permit me to give mine. Should these or similar views accord with your own, I think the better judgment will be that you can have no higher title to the gratitude of
