This circumstance is true; give it what weight you please. I regret to add that we were able to bring off but few of our wounded, and none of our dead. The hundred-days men straggled badly, while the men of the Sixth corps reached this place in perfect order, and covered the retreat. The Third regiment Potomac Home Brigade, Colonel Gilpin, of Tyler

We there heard of the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox Court-house, Virginia, which was announ lost; and that every life sacrificed after the surrender of Lee's army was the highest possible crime. He admitted that the terms conceded to General Lee were magnanimous and all he could ask, but he did want some general concessions that would ena1864; his amnesty proclamation; General Grant's terms to General Lee, substantially extending the benefits of that proclamati
