A enitir 9, 1872. on the 9th of~ A pril, 1805i,whlen Gion. eral Leo sontI a flag of trtuco to ask .interviow wit Gb('eneral Grant, was simply this: T1here woero on ly 7000 jaded, famnishedl Confuda rates wiith arms inm theirt hands, nearly surtrounmd ed lby E I nTl1Y THIoUsAN D Federal soldiers a1lreadIy in position, wvitlh rein foremnnts Consitinly 13 arr'ivin g. -Gordon fill back through tho vil lago liand moved to mee tan attatck of Sheri (lan on the flank, wh ile General Camberlaynie led the advance cor*ps of the army of' the James in to the court house. A battery of Riichm nond Howitzers, wvhichb had been oengaged at Big Bethel in 18(61, stationed in the yard of' Mr. Poors, in tJae extreme northern end of the village, fired the last gunl, and wvithdrecw as the blue wiavos woro oneircling it. The Fedor'al picket line wvas advanced beyond the village, and that lit tle bandt of hiertiti spirits seemed abot to be immolated, w haen sud donly the wvhite flag wVas dlispilay ed tad the firing ceasod. .Thaere have been so many sonsationaal reports of the meeting between the twvo comm nandters Jhbat I amt glad to be able to r'efute thetm by giVing. oENERtAL~ LEE's owVN ACCoUNr' of witAT OecURREi.D, as he gave it to some of~ his ftriends at his house, in Lexington, but a fowi days before his last- ilitoss. lie said that h6 hiad for dutly that morning not eight, thousand men, and that when hao learned from Gordon that there was a heavy inftantr'y force in his front, he doC cided to see Genor-al Grant and ascertain the ternms upon which he could endl the contest. But before going to mned him lie left orders with Laongstroet and Gordon to hold their comandi(s in readhinoss, dlotormied, as ho was, to cut his way th rough or. perish in the at. temp)t, if such terms wvero not granted as lie thought his army ontitled( to demand, lie met Gon eralh Grant betwooen tho piet lines, in open field, about two hun-. drodet yards below Appomnattox Cour',bouse. "Ydu'niet under an app)le tree did you not. General ?" asked a gentleman present. "No sir," was the ropily, "wve dlid not moet under an apple trooe, and I sawv no tree near.. It was an 01on field, not far from the main road." ~This explodes the historie apple 'ree, about which so much has en saidl. A gontlonlan, who was .hina a fowv feet of~ tho two genoe wvhen they met, p)oiited out to the exact spot. The apple which wvas cult to iccos, and the roots of which were dutg lVwas fllv a quarter of a Imilo from tho plco of tinlecilig, and the OIlly historic in tolrost that could be attiched to it was that, General Loe rested tinder its shado a few minutes whilo waiting for the ro turn of his flag of' trce. Tihe on. ly treo anywhero n:ar the plac of llectiig was i small lociust thor,it which is still standing a. bout twenty yar-d-s from the Spot.] TiE INTERVIEW nETWEEN LEE ANID (MRANT. General l[oe said that when he met General Grant they oxchang ed polit,0 salutation, and.ho stated to him.at onco that he desired a coiferenco in reforence to the sub ject, matter of their correspon dence. "G(leneral G"rant rotillrned you your sword, did lie not Gener al ?" one of' the company asked. The old11 hero, straightening him self, up, replied in Inost emp )hIatic tones : No sir ! he did not. lHe had no opportunity of doing so. I wa-,stq dotermined that the sido-arms ilicers should by except.ed by tho terms of wurrender, and of courso I did not ofTer him Imine. All that was said abouit Swords Wasl tllat (eical G"rant apologized to mlo for not wearing his own sword, saying thal. it had goilo oil inl his baggage, and Ie had been unable to get it in tiic." [This spoik a great.t deal of rhetoric about G' rant's magnailifmity ill returnifing Lee's sword," and renders as ab surd as it is filso the attempt of Northern artists to put the scene on can1vas or into statuary. EVen (GranILt's conn llivanco at this so-call od "historic scono" will not save it whenl tle world knows that It. E'. Leo said that nothing of tho sort occirredl.] General liee stat ed in this conversation. that lie was accompanied when lie met (Grant only by Colonel Charles Marshal , of' his pelrsonal stafl, who went with one of General Grant's staff to find a snitablo room in which to hold the confereneo; that they woro first sh1owi to a vacant house, and declining to use that wero conducted by Major Me. Clean to his house and sho%vn into his parlor. G 0eneral GIrant was accompiaied by soveral of his atafY offlcers, and several of his generals (among them Sheridan and Ord) entered lie room and participated in the slight gonoal conversation that occurred. The two generals wolnt aside aind sat at a table to confer together, When Genci il Leo opened the conversation by say ing ; "General. I deem it due 'to proper candor and frankness to say at the very beginning of this iiiterviov that I am not willing even to discuss fity terms of sur 1ol(ed1r illcolnsistent with TI1.E HONOR OF MY ARMY. which I am determined to main tain to the last." Grant replied : "I havo no idea of proposing dis honorable terms, General, but I m otld be glad if you would state what you call honorable terms." General Leo then briefly stated the terms upon01 which he would be willing to surrender. Grant expressed himnself'as satisfied withi thema aiid Lee -requested lie would formally ireduce the prlopositions to wrIting. Grant at once did so wvithi a common lead pencil, and handed the paper to Leo, who readl it careful Ily andl without com mont, except to say that thle most of the horses were the private property of' the men riding them. General Grant replied that such horses would1 he exemp)t from suir render, andl the paperi was then handed Colonel Enadeau (Graint's secretary) and cop)ios in ink madoc by him and Colonel Marshall. WhTlile this was being done there wer*e incuiries after the health of mu11tual acquaintances, but-n1oth ing bearing on the surrender, except that General Leo said that lie had on his hand some twvo or three thousand prisoners for whom lie had( 1no rations. Sheridan at one said: "I have rations for tw.onty tive thoulsandl mni."' General Grant having signed his note, General Lee conferred wvithi Colonel Marishiall, who wrote his. brief nlote of' acceptance of the terms of surrender offered, Gene. ral Lee striking out the sentence "I have thel honor' to r'eply to your letter of' this date." T1his terminated the intorviewv, anid General Leo r'ode back to his headquarter-s, wi'hich we-re th roe. quariit.ers of a mile northeast of' thle cou rthlouse. I have thus given the substanoe and( for - the most par't the exact language of General Lee's own ac. count of' the surronder. It will ailppear from this that a great deal that has been said about "OIRANT's MAUNANIMITY" in proposing the terms of surren doer, and Lee's "warm thanks for' the liberal ter'ms accorded," origi nated simply in -the imagination of the writers. The truth is, that Grant .proposed the only terms which LOo wvouild have accepted; and lhe knew too well the metal of' thatt great captain anad heroc remnant of the army wvhlch had so often defeated himn not to re jiien at an opportunity of coverinig -- - - -.. . - ... ,,** " .piaau I t Ir Most anyl 3orm of stirrunder.

AWFUL SCENES IN TIE HULL OF THE WHITE STAR WRECK-A SUBMA RINE ADVENTURE IN THE CABIN. After the wreck a news apor correspondent procured a (living suit, with permifission) and under the direction of the wrecker and divers whlo were at work up~on the hull of thle ill-falted steamer Atlan - tic, and descended into the int,erior of tile wreck, lie says: The waters were clear anid ev ery object plainly visible around the ship whlere she lay on the reef.

The airP from1 above, whlich is furnish 0(1 thronelgh the rulbber' tulbe, comes witba hlissing sound, producing a strange feeling.
