APPOMATTOX? The Anniversary of the Surrender. . A&mta CoruiiiHtiony April 9. iTwcnty-five years ago to-day General Lse surrendered at Appomattox. ^Tfcenj. ended the greatest straggle the wbrld:e|7er! wiyiessed. I Tt>aa ?,time that fried tbeBoalaof heroes as they had never been tried. ? "Strong men wept like women, and the ? sound-? of heartrending sobs and deep lamentations filled the air. The History of the days immediately : prece?ing, the 9lh of April, ;1865,jread like a'romance. It may be that genera? tion of Southern men was a generation of heroes, or it may be that the trials, dangers and hardships with which they contended for four .years had tamed them into men of steel, for it is certain that General Lee's army performed deeds -which now seem superhuman. . ? On the night of the 25th of March, the . last attack of the Confederates on the i Federal lines at Petersburg was made. S General John B. Gordon- led the at? tack, and, before daylight, captured Fort Steadman, 1,000 prisoners, nine cannons - and eleven mortem. Among hiB prison? ers was General HcGIonghlin, who com? manded that part of the Federal lines. This attack, though successful, failed . to accomplish the desired result, because ^of : the failure of Pickett's division to ;: cbme up in time, and because of the loss ?/ of the guides, who were in the dark, to have conducted the Confederates to. the ; rear of the forts overlooking Fort Stead r mann, which had alread fallen into Gen , eral. Gordon hands at his first direct .'assault; ;?n the night of the 1st of April Gen % eral Grant began night assaults on various parts of the Confederal lines. A;The Confederate numbers had been so ^greatly reduced by disease and starva? tion that their battle line behind the trenches made little more than a line of ^skirmishers. On the morning of the 2nd of April numbers conquered, and General Grant v broke Lee's lines at two or three points, and " ponred his army over the breast ^'wqrk' *: torrents where A. P. Hill's corps ^Ihadbcen in position. ^General Hill was among the first to be /killed, and his men were steadily driven back, although they stubbornly contested every foot of the ground. Just before nightfall General Lee no? tified ^General Gordon to cease fighting and prepare to evacuate Petersburg. That night he also directed General Gor? don to bold his position until the balance [;" of the army could cross the river behind that part of the line held by General -Gordon's troops. % ; When' the other commands had crossed the river and all the artillery and the wagon trains had also safely crossed, ? General Gordon withdrew his men and thu3 they were the last to leave the breastworks and the city of Petersburg. S- Trie army retreated the balance of "that night, but were briskly pursued the next morning by General Grant's forces ^ofcayalry :i The rear of General Lee's army, held by General Gordon, was soon, engaged and be was forced to form his lines again ^and.again give battle. These.- constant delays permitted Grant's infantry to overtake the repeat? ing forces and engage them in battle. }v jThe same thing occurred day after day, the Confederate soldiers fighting as long as daylight lasted, and then retreating duriDg the darkness, until the night of ^the 8th of April. ? Some correspondence had passed be? tween General Grant and Lee during those terrible days, and on the night of the 8th General Lee held his last council '-of war around his bivouac fire one mile from the little town of Appomattox ' Courthouse. In this meeting Generals \ Longs tree t and Gordcm, commanding the ^ .two wings, General Fitz Hngh Lee, commanding the cavalry, and General Pendleton, commanding the artillery, took part. The question submitted to the council, was .what should be done in view of Grant's demand for a surrender. m In order to ascertain what prospects there were for further resistance, reports were made of the sizes of the different -commands. It was ascertained that from losses in battle around Petersburg and on the march, and from the large numbers who had dropped on th3 wayside from ex? haustion, the entire infantry cf both Longstreet's and Gordon's commands ^numbered about 8,000 muskets. The cavalry UDder Fitz Hugh Lee had also been reduced to the size of a few .regiments, and the artillery was in like % proportion. ?'. It was estimated that General Grant had 150,000 men, and it was also known that a heavy Federal force was across the Confederate's front, ready to dispute every step of the passage toward Lynch barg, to which point the Confederates I were moving. . After a full discussion, it was deter? mined that General Gordon, with his wing af the army, consisting of infantry, Fitz Hugh Lee's cavalry, and Colonel Tom Carter's artillery, should attempt to . cut his way through the Federal forces in front, and if he succeeded, General Longstreet was to follow, the wagon trains and the ammunition taking posi tion between the two wings. ?? It was supposed that nothing but a heavy force of cavalry was in front. Early on the morning of the 9th of April General Gordon moved on the Fed* eral breastworks thrown across his front, with General Fitz Hugh Lee's cavalry on his right and Colonel Carter's artillery aiding in the assault. Then followed a desperate charge, led by Gordon, which was not excelled in courage by any made daring the war. Sheridan's breastworks were carried and a portion of his artillery was cap? tured and his forces were driven for half a mile or more in the rear of the posi? tion held by them when the battle com? menced. It was at this time that General Gor? don sent to the rear to ask General Leo \-to send Longstreet's division forward. The answer he received was that Long street's forces were heavily engaged with overwhelming numbers pressing from the rear. So that every step which General Gordon made forward increased the gap between his army and General LoDg f Btreet. It was discovered also that upon Gen? eral Gordon's flank heavy forces of Fed? eral infantry were moving to the assault. It was at this moment that General Lse sent a flag of truce to General Grant notifying Generals Longstreet and Gor? don of what had transpired, The formal surrender Boon followed. The two armies were withdrawn from the field and formed in separate lines aDd within half an hoar general officers were appointed by General Lee and Grant to agree upon the terms of au.rrend.er and of parole. By this time the truth of what was going on broke upon the apprehension of the entire Confederate army and the bravest and the most stout hearted of these war-worn men wfcpt like children. When it tame to the surrender of the battle 'flags which they had carried through so many fights it so taxed their sensibilities that they were utterly un manedl ?Many of the color bearers secretly tore the flags from the standards, throwing away the staffs and stuffing the bullet rent banners into their bosoms or boots to save thenu Those who took part in the dreadful ordeal claim that the conduct of the Federal troops was generous and affect? ing. Their readiness to divide their rations and the evidences of their respect for a fallen foe made profound impres? sion on the Confederate army. Tb.9 universal sympathy of the Con? federate army of General Lee, who, as the soldiers knew, was overwhelmed With grief, was manifest on all sides. Buch a scene was never witnessed before, and never will be again. The army knew that it had no chance of victory, they knew they were starving and dying by hundreds of disease, brought on by privation, and yet, until the last moment, they hoped to cut their way through Grant's lines, and once in the mountains of Tenneesee could carry on a warfare for an indefinite time. Twenty-five years ago to day all these hopes had to be abandoned, and the Con? federacy fell with a mighty crash, the vibrations of which go echoing down through the generations to come. "Parson Dan" Broke His Oath. The boys all called him "Parson Dan." His real name was Daniel Higgins. He was quite fifty years old and under the average height, but he was as tough as hickory and the best workman in the whole foundry. Long before I bad made his acquaint? ance he had "got religion," and not being the sort of man to rest satisfied with merely saving bis own soul, be went to work zealously to impart religion to others. Far worse preachers than "Par sou Dan" earn big salaries in fashionable churches. But "Parson Dan" had a bard crowd to deal with, and much of the seed he scattered fell on stony ground. Often he was subjected to a good deal of course chaffing. He rendered - it all good na turadly and never retaliated. But this is what made me regard "Parson Dan" as one of the finest men I had ever met: One day during the dinner he was holding forth on his favorite topic, Among his listeners was an apprentice named Will Preston. As ill luck would have it, "Jake" Donohue, the foreman of the department in which the lad worked) came along that way. He was a big, vicious-tempered fellow, and the terror of all the men under him. For some reason he had a grudge against Will Preston, and forthwith began to abuse him foully. "Parson Dan" interceded for the lad. Then Jake turned his pro? fanity upon him. "You infernal Psalm singing hypocrite, I'll teach you to mind your own busi? ness." With that he struck the lad a blow that knocked him down. 'Don't do that," pleaded "Parson Dan;" "it's cowardly." "Jake'fl response was a still more sul? phurous outburst of oaths, and to show his contempt for "Parson Dan'- he aimed another kick at the prostrate lad, For a moment "Parson Dan's" face was a study. It was that of a man struggling against an overwelming temp? tation. He turned pale, his lips were compressed, his hands clinched. Then he stepped forward. There was nothing suggestive of the preacher in his manner. "Stop it 1" he exclaimed sternly, "or I'll make you !" Jake was so astonished that he could merely stare without a word. But to cease to be a brute would be an acknowledgement, he evidently thought, that he was afraid. So he turned to the boy and made a movement as though about to kick him again. Quick as a flash "Parson Dan" Bprang at him, and with a blow straight from the shoulder, struck him on the point of the jaw. "Jake" fell to the floor like a log. It was as clean a knock out blow as I have ever seen delivered in a prize fight. The men broke out with a spon? taneous cheer. "Parson Dan" looked unutterably dejected. "God forgive me," he exclaimed, "I've broken my oath." "What do you mean ?" I asked. "Why, sir, years ago I used to be a prize fighter, and when I got converted I took an oath that I'd never strike a man again, and now I've done it. What will become of me ?'1 Everybody assured him that no angel would record that blow to bis credit, Circumstantial Evidence. No matter how strong may be every link in a chain of circumstantial evidence, there is always a doubt, a lack of cer? tainty, that should weaken it and cause ub to distrust it. I remember a story my grandfather used to tell of a case in which an innocent life was sacrificed for a guilty person. A boy on a farm, for some misdemean? or, was sentenced by his father, a stern man, with an eye to saving a half-price ticket, to be deprived of his annual cir? cus privilege, and in addition he was to hoe so many rows of corn while the rest of the family took in the lady's pad act, the bareback riding of Jack Robinson, the club that killed Captain Cook and other attractions of the great moral show. The boy watched the wagon drive away with tears in his eyes, and then he went at the corn rows with a determination to make a short crop of it could it be worked with detection. But he grew hungry after awhile and went into the house to investigate the pantry. There were seven pies?it was an American household?seven black? berry pies baked for Sunday. The boy, who was not feeling very well himself, soon placed his person anterior to six of the pies, but paused thougbfully aad with keen regret midway the seventh. One half of that he left. He then caught the family cat, thrust her nose and feet into the pie, and dropped her on the clean, white Banded floor of the panty that she might track around on it. Then he went back to his corn rows. Evening brought the family home. The boy eaw them climb joyously out of the big wagon. He noted how the over? ripe apples fell from the trees when his sister jumped over the ?ld? abd alighted flat footed on the gt'ound. He saw his fath? er let himself down over the double-trees and get himself kicked twice by the roan colt. He saw his mother waiting patiently until somebody had time and inclination to take the baby. He saw his grandmother perch herself on the Rub of the hind wheel on one foot, while she made vague, circumferential wandering excursions for the wide, wide world with the other. He saw his broth? ers let themselves down over the til gate and sneak away to avoid doing any work; At last the wagon was empty, ?nd there were, visible signs of excitement about the house. "The raid is discovered," said the boy, cutting the roots of a healthy stalk of i corn and carefully hilling up a vigorous lance weed. Presently he eaw his father come out of the house with the gun over his shoulder and the cat under his arm. "The culprit !e arrested," remarked the young robber, as he leaned thoughtfully upon his hoe and watched his father dis? appear behind the barn. The Bhsrp report of a gun rang obt upon the quiet of the sunset hour. "There," said the boy, with the confi? dent expression of one who knows what he is talking about, "There goes another victim of circumstantial evidence."?R. J. Burdette. Talmage on Tornadoes. Dr. Talmage thus writes of the Louis? ville calamity in an editorial in the Christian Berald of April 3: Sympathy is an Insufficient word when we try to express our feelings toward Louisville and other neighborhoods struck by the wing of an archangel of tempest. Both a northern and southern city, and having in the roll of her citizenship many of the beet people of both sections. Louisville's disaster is tbe disaster of America; yea, of the whole civilized world. Lovelier city stands not under the sun. Her hospitalities are without limit. Her quick responses when other cities are in trouble, and her queenly behavior toward Memphis and New Orleans and Jacksonville wbeh the yell?W Fever was let loose upon them Will wiu for her any? thing she may need, if disposed to call for it. Whole villages prostrated in the same companionship of woe, and large districts afflicted with lighter or heavier stroke, the question arises in all hearts, What can we do? At this writing, and before all the terrible factu are known, plans of relief have not yet been projected, but Louisville shall not sit solitary, and the villagers of Kentucky and Illinois and Tennessee will not be left homeless. What does it all mean ? Some think these cyclones are a result of the cutting down of the forests. Perhaps so, and perhaps not. Cyclones do not roll on the ground, where the trunks and branch? es of trees could arrest them. They fly so high that we are doubtful whether the ruthless American ax is responsible for their devastation. We have this theory : , Satan is "the prince of the power of the air," and perhaps the mighty progress of truth and righteousness and liberty in our time' may have especially angered him) and if he cannot stop the chariot of the .gospel, perhaps he is trying to stop the prosperity of tbe cities. The better a city, and the better a village, and the better a neighborhood, the greater his spite against it. Meanwhile We snatch up morning and evening papers at the first moment of their arrival, hoping to read that some pF the accounts have been exaggerated. But no. This tragedy of America deepens in blackness and horror bs the hours go by, and nothing but tbe revelations of the last day cah tell the extrnt of this atmospheric mischief) of explain the height, and depth of this national calamity. Let all who have a roof over their heads and an unbroken family circle appreciate their mercies, and do everything possible to help lift the scourged districts out of the want and wretchedness into which they have fall? en. May God help the helpless and comfort the comfortless, and give us to learn the Uncertainty of all earthly cal? culations, and the wisdom of securing treasures in a place where hurricanes can* not uproot, nor fires consume, nor floods drown! Only One Fault. I Was riding through a country town in Vermont, when I noticed a concourse of people in a church yard, encircling an open grave. It was a W?rm day and I had ridden ten miles, so I drew the rein under Borne trees, to allow the horse to rest. Presently a villager came towards me and I said: "There is afunerftl to-day in your town." "Yes?Stephen. He was one of the largest hearted men I ever knew. He had great abilities. We sent him to the legislature three times. They thought of nominating him for Governor. "But/' he added sadly, "Stephen had only one fault." I made no answer, I was tired and watched the people disperse, ifeavlog the sexton to his solitary work. "A very generous man, Stephen was. Always visited the sick. The old people all liked him. Even the children used to follow him on the streets." "A good man, indeed," I said indiffer? ently. "Yes j he had only one fault." "What waB that ?" I asked. "Only intemperance." "Did it harm him?" "Yes, somewhat. He didn't seem to have any power to resist it at last. He got behindhand and had to mortgage hin farm, and finally had to sell it. His wife died on atcount of the reverse?kind of crushed, disappointed. Then his children turned out badly. His intemperance seemed to mortify them, and take away their spirit. He had to leave politics; 'twouldn't do, you Beo. Then we had to set him aside from the church; and at last his habits had brought on paralysis, and we had to take him to the poorhouse. He died there?only forty-five. Poor man, he had only one fault." "Only one fault!" The ship had only one leak, hut it sank. "Only one fault!" The temple-had but one decaying pillar, but it fell. "Only one fault!" Home gone, wife lost, family ruined, honor forfeited, social and religious privileges abandoned; bro? ken health, poverty, paralysis and the poorhouse. One fault, only one. The Mysterious Knocklngs. Raleigh, N. C, April G.?There is the greatest sensation at Tarboro ever known in the history of that town, or in that part of the State. A few nights past strange knockings were heard in the room of a house occupied by Mr. Shaw and family. The knockings were first heard, after a daughter, aged fourteen, had re? tired. She was frightened badly, as it was found that the sounds were made at her commands, but no other. Shaw told of the. occurrence. Crowds began to visit the house. Tho girl became very excited and nervous, but was prevailed upon to ask questions. The crowds have become so large that the house could not hold them. At times there are hundreds in the streets, all waiting to hear it. Some night3 the girl has not remained at home, but on these occasions the noises are said to have been heard where she was. Wednesday night she was at Mr. TerrePs. On her retiring the knocking was beard on the wall. The knocking cannot in any way be accounted for by those who have heard it. It is a dull Bound that cannot be imitated. Super? stition is rife, and many persons would not occupy the house for any sum. Some regard the girl as a spirit medium, and this only as a first manifestation of that power. Others still think it some secret agency that will soon be discovered. ? The debt of the United States is now $1,509,802,540.67. Polly With a Sag On. There was an amusing little scene in the Mercy Hospital recentlyi As most visitors to the hospital L-dow, a large green parrot, of evil inclinations and strident voice, is Confined in the drug room, neat the entrance hall. The par? rot's cage is frequently opened to admit food and other necessaries. One day the hospital ball boy, who has charge of Polly, didn't close the portals of her prison properly, and this fact was speedi? ly ascertained by the sagacious bird. Nobody was around, so the prisoner slipped her bolts and stepped out; Now, a small cup containing pure alcohol lay on the counter of thb drug room, and Polly steered her course toward that cup. She was thirsty and here was something drinkable. Polly drank?intending like ' many another, only to take ooe drink and then depart. But alas! The drink led to many others, and, sad to relate, Polly . soon became intoxicated* Just then one of the hout-e physicians entered, and the depraved bird swore at him with frightful vehemence, and bit him in the hand. Then, half flying, half leaping, Polly descended to the floor and commenced to make for tbeentrance ball with unsteady gait, swearing in a a auner that made the waiting visitors stop their ears; Just then one of the Sisters arrived on the scene and found this frightful ex ample to all birds blaspheming in the centre of tbe hall while tbe visitors were retreating in all directions Aid was promptly summoned. Polly wbs locked up and removed into a room where she could sober up, and tbe entrance ball re sbmed its normal quietude.?From the Pittsbury Dispatch. ? An ingenious Paris manufacturer, M. Pichaucourt, has recently brought out some small mechanical birds, which ope" rate witb great regularity. The motion, of the wings is brought about by tbe en ergy stored up in twisted rubber b?nde. The spread of tbe wings is thirteen inches; the rubber springs weighs 120 grains, and is five inches in length, and the total weight of the apparatus is three-fourths Of lib ounce. Tbe device in dying rises slightly, and is capable of moving to a distance of sixty feet. M. Picbancourt has succeeded in constructing a mechanical bird of tbe same kind of larger size, and which weighs no less than twenty ounces. Ret free by the hand, this apparatus has risen to a height of twenty-five feet above the 'ground, and fallen at a distance of twenty one yards from the starting point against a bead wind of thirteen feet per second.
