It will - repay perusal: "The situation" at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865, when General Le> I sent a flag of truce to atk an interview: with General Grant, was. simply this: There were only 7,500 jaded, famished Confederates with arm* in their hands, nearly surrounded, by 80,000 Federal soldiers already in position, with rein? forcements constantly arriving. Gordon' fell bank through the village and moved, to meet an attack of Sheridan on the' flank, while General Obamberlayne led I the advance oorps of the. Army of the I James into the Court House. A battery lot the Richmond Howitzers, which had been engaged at Big Bethel in 1861, sta I tioned in tb.o yard of Mr. Peers, on the j extreme North east corner of the village, I fired the last gun of the day, and with I drew as the blue waves were encircling it. The federal picket line was advanced I beyond the village, and that little band 1 of heroio spirits seemed abont to be im I molated, when suddenly the white flag was displayed, and the firing ceased.: There have been published so many sen-! sational reports of the meeting between the two commanders, that I am glad to I be able to ref ate them, by giving Gene-1 ral Lee's own aoaount of what occurred,1 as he gave it to some friends at his house. I I in Lexington, but a few days before his ' I lost illness. He said he had for dnty, I that morning, not 8,000 men, and that I 1 when be learned from Gordon that there was a heavy infantry force in his front, 1 be decided to see General Grant and as? certain the terms upon which he could I end the contest. But before going to meet him, he left orders with Longstreet land Gordon to hold their command* in I readiness, determined, as he was, to out I his way through, or perish in the attempt, | ] if such terms were not granted as be I thought his army en titled to demand. I He met Gene ral Grant bot ween the picket lines, in the open field, abont 200 yards I below Appomattox Court House. I I "Yon met ander an apple tree, did you not, General?" asked, a gentleman pre* \ sent. "No, sirl" was the reply; "we did I not meet ander an apple tree, aud I saw no tree near. It was in ati open field, not far from the mam road." .[This ex jplodea the "historic apple tree," about; I whiah so muoh has neon, said. A gentle I man who was within a few feet of the I two Generals when-they met, pointed lout to me the oxoot spot. .The apple tree which was odt to pieces, au? even the roots of which wore dog up and oar I ried off by relic-bun tors, waa fully a, quarter of a mils from.the place of meet I lug, and the only bistorio interest that I oould be attached to it, was that General I Lee rested, under its shade a few minutes I while waiting for the return of his flag I of truoe. The only tree anywhere near I the place of meeting was a small locust I thorn, which is still standing, about I twenty yards from the spot. I General Lee said that when he met General Qrant, they exchanged polite I salutations, and be stated to him at once that he desired a conference in referenoe I to the Bubjeot matter of their oorres I pondenoe. "General Grant returned you your sword, did he not, General?" one of the company aaked. The old hero, straightening himself up, replied, I in most emphatio tonea: "No, sir! he did not. He had no opportunity of doing so. I was determined that the Hide-arms of. officer* should be exempt by the terms I of surrender, and of ooarse I did not I offer him mips. All that was said about I swords was thut General Grant apolo? gized to me for not wearing his own sword, saying that it had gone off in hie baggage, and he had been unable to get it in time." [This spoils a great deal of 1 rhetorio about "Grant's magnanimity in returning Leo's sword,".and renders as j nbsnrd as it is false the attempt of North fern artists to put the scene on canvas or I into statoary. Even Grant's connivance pt this bo-called "historical scene" will I not save it, when the world knows that R. E. Lee said that nothing of the sort [occurred.] General Leo stated in thia conversation that he was accompanied [when he met Grant only by Colonel II Charles Marshall, of his personal staff, who went with ono of General Grant'e I staff to find a suitable room in whioh to j hold the conference; that they were first j shown ton vacant house, and, deolining I to use that, wore oonduoted by Major MoClean to his house, and shown' into his' parlor. General Grant was accom? panied by several of his staff officers, and several of his Generals, (among them Sheridan and Ord,) entered the room and participated in the slight gene? ral conversation that occurred. The two Generals went aside and bat at a table to laOnfer together, when General Lee {opened the conversation by saying: "General, I deem it due to proper can? dor and frankness to say at the very be? ginning of this interviow, that I am not I willing even to discuss any terms of aur I render inconsistent with tho honor of my army, which I am determined to main? tain to the last." Grant replied: "I have no idea of proposing dishonorable terms, Goneral; but I would be glad if you would Btate what yon oonsider ho? norable terms." General Lee then briefly Btated tho terms upon whioh he would be willing to surrender. Grant oxprossod himself as satisfied with them, and Leo requested that he would for? mally reduoe the propositions to writing. Grant at onoe did bo with a common I lead-pencil, and handed the paper to Lee, who read it carofully and without oommont, exoept to say that most of the j horses were the private property of the men riding them. General Graut re? plied that saoh horses would be exempt from surrender, and the paper was then {handed to Colonel Badean, (Grant's secretary,) aud copies in ink made by him and Colonel Marshall. While this was being doue, there were inquiries after the health of mutual acquaintances, but nothing bearing ou the surrender, exoept that General Lee said that he had on his hands some 2,000 or 3,000 prison? ers, for whom he had no rations, aberi dan at oico aaid: "I havo rations for 25,000 men." Qen. Grant having signed his note, God. Leo oonferred with Ool. Marshall, who wrote bis brief note of aooeptanoe of the terms of surrender offered, Gen. Lee striking out the Bentenoo, "I have tnekbpnor to reply to your oommunioa tion>?and substituting, "I have received your letter of this date." This r&rmioated the interview, and Gen. Ijoe rode back to his headquarters, which were three quartern of a mile North-east of the Court Hoase. I have thus given the snbstanoe, and for the most part the exaot language, of Gen. Lee's own aooonnt of the surrender. It will appear from this that a great deal that has been said about "Grant's mag? nanimity," in proposing terms of sur? render, and Leo's "warm thanks for the lib end terms aceorded," originated sim? ply in the imagination of the writers. The truth is, Grant proposed the only terms which Jjoe would have accepted; and he knew too well the mettle of that great oaptain and the heroio remnant of the army which had an often defeated him, not to rejoioe at any opportunity of covering himself with glory, by accept? ing almost any terms of surrender. x ui?6 ga?a?reu * ??luuuc ?f iii?iu??id of the surrender, whioh interested me and may be of . interest to your readers. Soon after Gen. Lee left the* MoOlean House, owned by the same gentleman at whose house, near Bull Bun, Beaure gard had bis headquarters daring the battle of July 18, 1861, Sheridan stalked in and said, rudely, "1 mean to have this chair"?taking op one of the oh airs in whioh the Generals had signed the terms of capitulation, aud exhibiting, at the same time a 82 50 gold piece. Major MoClean replied, "That chair is not for sale, General. If you choose to take it, you have tbe physical power to do SO." "I mean to have it," was the curt rejoin? der; and the "great barn-burner" gave another proof of his skill in petit larceny. The table aud other ohairs were in like manner carried off by Federal officers as AaWSWa aa the flag of trace was hoist ed on Gordon'a lines, the offensive Gen. Custar ("Miss Fanny") came riding fu? riously in to Gen. Gordon, demanding in his own name "anoonditionul sur? render." ' Gordon drew himself up to hie fall height, and with crashing digni? ty, replied: "I can have no negotiations with, you,.air; and if the settlement of this matter rested between ne, there could be no negotiations but by the sword." AS showing the spirit of the* men who participated in the briUiant action that morning, it may be mentioned that many of them orowded aronnd. the bearer of one of the flags of truoe?a widely-known and loved chaplain, who, since tbe capture of his regiment at Spoteylvania Court House, had served with great gallantry on Gen. Gordon's staff?and eagerly asked if the enemy had sent in to surrender their force on that road, thinking that in flanking us, Grant bad pushed a part of bis force too far. They had no dream that they were to be surrendered. But gradually tbe truth broke upon them, and great was their obagrin when these high-mettled victors in the last battle of the Army of Northern Virginia learned that they must "yield *? overwhelming numbers and resources"?that after all their marches, battles, victories, bardebips and ?ufferiugfi, the cause they loved better , than life itself must succumb to bruto ' force. After tbe flag of trace was raised a Federal scout was shot through mistake by his own men, when trying to stop the firing, and a New York Major, under the influence of liquor, met his death by galloping up to a Confederate battery and demanding its surrender. The women aud children of Appomat tox Court House had all left their homes daring the battle of the morning, and upon their return had to pass through Custar's cavalry. "Miss Fanny" him? self was very rude to thorn, and permit-, led his men to kise them as they passed. Per contra, it affords me pleasure to say that many of the Federal offiuera and men were very oourteous and considerate. The oitisens of the village speak in especially high terms of General Charn berlayne, (since Governor of Maine,) who was delicately considerate of the feelings of the people, gentlemanly in his bearing and generobB towards the vanquished. When the arms were being stocked, a gallant color-bearer, as he delivered np tbe tattered remnant of his flag, burst into tears and said to the Federal sol? diers who received it: "Boys, this is not the first time you have seen that flag. I have borne it in tho very fore-front of the battle on many a victorious field, and I bad rather die than surrender it now." "Brave fellow," said General Ohamberlayne, who heard the remark, "I admire your noble spirit, and only regret that I have not the authority to bid you keep your flag aud carry it home as a precious heirloom." Tbe oalm dignity of General Lee amid these trying scenes, the deep emo? tion with whioh the men heard his noble farewell address, and orowded aronnd to shake his hand?how they were thrilled by his simple words, "Men, wo have fought through the war together. I havo done my best for you. My heart is too full to say more." Gordon's noble furewull speech?the teuder parting of comrades who had been bound eooloaoly together by common hardships, suffer? ings, dangers and viotories, and now, by this sad blighting of oherished hopes, were all vividly recalled as I gazed on the very spots where they occurred, but arc too familiar to be detailed now. I was amused to learn that the Federal soldiers and tourists not only carriod off all of tho "historic apple tree," but a whole apple orchard as well, aud was re? minded of bearing of A gallant Rich? mond soldier, who sold to Northern visitors after his return home, wagon loads of the "Apponiattbx apple tree," whieh ho regularly gathered from a Uenrico orohard. I i - : .?t-*???; ? ?<;. '. ??* I noted with pleasure that the noble women of Appomattox have gathered the Confederate dead into a neatly-kept cemetery, on the road to Appomattox station, not far from the grove in which Grant established his headquarters. I cannot . close this sketch without quoting the langnage of that splendid Boldior and unconquerable patriot, Gene? ral J. A. Early, in his noble oration on General Lee: "finally, from mere ex? haustion, less than 8,000 men, with arms in their hands,-of the noblest army that had ever fought 'in all the tide of time,' wero surrendered at Appomattox to an army of 160.000 men; the sword of st?? bert E. Lee, without a blemish upon it, was sheathed forever, and the-flag to whioh he had added such laBtre was furled, to be henceforth embalmed, in the affectionate remembrance of those who had remained--faith fnl daring all our trials, and will do so to the end.',' . I have never been a Vr el id bunter-" (X prize the blanket under which IeJopijtbe night of the first battle of ManaasaaV)1 but I plucked some thorns from the tree near whioh Lee met.

An Abbjbst.?We understand that two Sarties, announcing themselves to be nited States Marshals from South Ca? rolina, passed through this' oity, yester? day morning, in quest, as they stated, of a man who ? had committed murder in South Carolina. The man, whose name they did not give, was working, they said, at Mr. Merry's place, near Berzelia. We learn that the men proceeded to Ber? zelia, and were seen, when. they got off the train, by the man whom tbey were in quest of. The ofnn ran,, and Was im? mediately fired upon by the Marshals, one ball taking effect in. one of his shoul? ders. He fell to, the ground, and was at once taken charge of by' the two men, who placed him on a freight train com? ing in this direction. The Marshals stated to a gentleman in this city, before they started for Berzelia, that .they were also looking for a party in Augusta, but we did not learn what his offence was In faot, the so-called Marshals were very uncommunicative, and but little inform? ation o.'uld be obtained from them. We were unable to ascertain the name of the man who was shot and afterwards arrest? ed. He has been about Berzelia, we un? derstand, for about six months, and has a wife and children.'

It is the only deep water harbor on the Atlantic ooaat South of- Norfolk. A 11ns of Steamships and aaillng packets have been- arranged for, - and it La certain that the whole through bua> nest of the port Boyal and Qeorgia Railroad between the Southern and Northern ports will pass through Port Boyal On Its way to Europe.and the Northern ports. Largo warehouses for the storage,of fertil? isers, cotton and other freights are now under contract at Port Boyal.

The New York Evening.Post myt)i "The last rail on the Port Boyal Bailroad was laid on March 1, This gives what the South has never yet had?a deep water har? bor on the Atlantic coast." Ab If nature intended to leave nothing wanting to renew the fertility or the soil in the South, it is in the immediate vicinity of Port Rojal that inexhaustible beds of bone phosphate have been recently discovered." J fi llbid. . The only good port on the South Atlantic, South of Norfolk, ia Port Boyal, and I am per? suaded that in a short time that will be the real oat-let of the central West on the Mouth Atlantic. Of coarse, this involves the centre? ing of large capital there, and a steamship line. But these will come, if it be true that it Is the best port en the Booth Atlantic, and1 that direot railroads go there from the cen? tral West."?E. D. Mansfield. "The "Cincinnati Southern" will do more' to accomplish the outlet of a Southern port than all other things oan. From Chatta? nooga to Port Boyal cfa Augusta ia about 250 miUs. Jl Is about the same distance on a, direct line from Chattanooga to Cincinnati; so that allowing for curves, an almost dire line road from Cincinnati to Port Royal.m' be mads at from 550 to 000 miles. This w not only save 200 miles on the present route, but will be a direct through line, prepared to do its part in transferring the food of the West to the markets of the world."! <? I (1 3 N ?
