Thirty-two years have passed since
the remnant of Leo's magnificent army
capitulated on the field ol Appomattox,
and there went down the starrycrossed
banner which had never known
disgraeo or dishonor, not to bo unfurled
again. The story of the surrender
as given elsewhere will be new to
many of our younger readers, and we
givo it a place mainly for their benefit.
Hut thero wore many incidents connected
with the surrender which have
never appeared in print, because they
related to special commands and did
not belong to the general history of the
notable event. One of those wo propose
to relate brielly, with the purpose
of showing how bravo men on either
cidn nouilnoliwl I Itmituol voc iihtlm* t rvintr
circumstances.
The battle of Gaines* Mill on the 27th
v of June, 1M>2, was one of the hottest
contests between the forces under
McClellan and Lee respectively. Both
were new commanders in that field,
and had reputations among the foremost
in the old army. McClellan hud
Buffered defeat at Williamsburg1 and
Seven Pines, where ho was opposed by
Joseph E. Johnston, who had been disabled
after the victory was won at
Seven Pines. His plans for the battles
around Richmond were scientific and
comprehensive, anil ho knew the Confederate
commander to be a focman
worthy of his steel. The gathering of
forces from every quarter indicated
that both of the generals appreciated
tho importance of the protracted
struggle which was to signalize their
meeting as strategists and masters of
tho art of war. In the group of battles,
as is generally known, Mcchanicsville,
on the north side of tho city, was
the ground of the first combat. The
Confederates had to cross tho Chickahominy
to reach the enemy and to form
a junction with Stonewall Jackson,
whose troops were hastening with all
the speed of " footeavulry," on a forced
march to take part in the greatest
drama of modern times, for the Seven
Days around Richmond cannot bo excelled
for heroic fighting and terrible
slaughter on both sides.
Mechaniesvillo was not a victory for
tho Confederates, whoso losses were
several times groator than the Federals,
but during the night McClellan
ordored the withdrawal of his troops,
and formed a new lino to contest the
advance of T.en'tf reinforced iirmv. for
Jackson was now on the Held with his
entire corps. The battle began early
in the morning on our extreme loft,
and as the day wore on the tiring hecame
fast and furious along the whole
line, except immediately In front of 11.
II. Anderson's brigade of South Carolinians,
consisting of the i'almctto
Sharp Shooters, Second Hi lies, Fifth
and Sixth regiments, and a remnant of
the Fourth battalion. (Jen. Anderson's
brigade was a part of Longstroet'a
original division, which also included
FickettV. and Kemper's brigades, and
these were all being held in reserve
on the extreme right of Lee's lino.
The musketry in the distance and even
near by was unceasing, and the Federals
unloosed every cannon at their
command. The roar was deafening,
and the shells woro hurtled through
tho air with astonishing rapidity.
Longstreet's division awaited orders
under this sweeping artillery tire, and
many a gallant fellow received his
death wound from the Hying missiles as
they burst over us. The Confederates
had failed to drive the enemy from its
strongly entrenched position on tho
jiuigiits uvvnuukui^; tuu v./ii iukuikhii iny,
and a little before sunset Gen. Lee
sent a message to Longstreot that the
day was lost unless ho eoald break
through on the right, which would
cause the enemy to retreat. Longstreet
ordered his old division to move
forward into action, and they were reinforced
by Hood's and Whiting's
brigades on our left. Whiting's belonged
to Jackson's corps, but had lost
sight of their commander, and asked to
join u?. In a few moments wo were
under the full bla/.e of the liereo eontest,
and rapidly descended the slope
into the ravine just below the lire, of
the Federal batteries. The movement
was quick and vigorous, and stretched
for a hal f milo or more the assaulting
columns dashed bravely against the
rampaits of the Federals, who were
evidently dismayed and demoralized
by the celerity with which Longstreet's
command pushed up the ascending
slope and charged with desperation
upon their stronghold. Their )in<s
were broken speedily, and it was only
a little while until the rout became
general and almost simultaneous.
The Couft derates-advanced beyond
the woods and into an open field on the
( rest of j till. To the right the ground
sloped i her abruptly towards the
Chickaht -tiny, which makes a horseshoe
bend ut this point. Gen. Andt rson
still occupied the right of Lee's
army, and out of proper cuution be
detached the Fifth, commanded by
Col. A. Jackson, and the Palmetto
Sharp Shoo to r<i, under Co'. Micah Jenkins,
to protect the right Hunk of the
army against any possible assault. No
one supposed that thero were any
Federals in that vicinity. Tho Fifth
regiment halted on the crest of tho
hill in full view of the valley below
and quite near tho woods. Col. Juckson
heard voices in the woods, and sent
word to Col. Jenkins that there were
troops in that quarter. Bjth regiments
wore drawn up into lino of bat
tie, twenty or thirty yards intervening n
between them. In a few moments a v
body of troops emerged from the woods, n
but it was almost twilight and the un- f
eertaln view left the mutter in doubt fi
as to their being friends or enemies.
On they came, marching steadily by
the Hank, with tlags furled and in utter
silence. Col. Jenkins demanded more '1
than once to know what command it
was, but there was no response except
the even tread of the soldiers as they
tiled along in front of our line. Finally, (
as the head of the column passed near- j
ly opposite tho oontro of the Sharp h
Shooters, the officer in command called v
out, " Halt ! Front 1" and as ho did so
Col. Jenkins gave tho order, " Fire !" j
A deadly volley rang out as tho 8
response, which was quickly followed L
by auothor round us tho opposing a
troops poured a volley into our ranks, c
Hill] lhl?ll .1 I'll U i IW1 O.llMLt' VflifHl IVUU
heard above the din, " Charge !" The i
lines were not more than lifty yards t
apart, and when the Sharp Shooters v
started with a yell they aimed to get 1
there very quickly. In less time than J
it takes to toll it, the incident was (
over, as the roglment in our front gave n
way in sheor despair and contusion, c
a number escaping in the dusk as they {
Hed towards the Chickahominy. Tho j
hulk of the line remained, but not s
intact, as nearly all of them were on 1
the ground. In tho mcantimo, Col. '
> ji
Jackson had engaged in a similar light 8
with tho regiment in his front, which s
proved to ho tho Mighty-Second 1'cnn- N
sylvania, and it was similarly doinoilshed.
{
Tho intrepid command that had been '
moved down soquickly by Jenkins' men 1
was the Sixtoonth Michigan, under Col. (
Stockton, who led tho way down tho (
slope with such coolness and daring, and '
who was killed at tho head of his regi- (
ment almost immediately aftor hocried ,
' Halt 1" Threo hundred and seventy- ^
live of his command were on thoground
when tho charge was over, counting j
tho killed, wounded and unhurt pris- j
oners. Tho Sharp Shooters lost one (
hundred and live in killed and wound- 1
ed. Tho writer was detailed bv Col. .
Jenkins to puttier up the prisoners and
look after the enemy's wounded on the
field until tho surgeons arrived.
Among tho first encountered was tho
oaptain of Co. A., who was lying upon
the ground with his men all around,
lie was unhurt, and said that he fell
at tho first volley, because it seemed
to him that the entire company had
been killed or wounded, and ho would
not leave them. Among the trophies!
of this combat at short range was tho
flag of the Sixteenth Michigan, an
elegant silk banner which was presented
by the ladies of tho vicinity where
the regiment was raised. The flag was
sent afterwards for safe keeping to
Columbia, and was desposited in tho
old State House along with others captured
by South Carolina regiments,
where it remained until Tecumsoh
Sherman started a little bonfire which
swept away tho most beautiful city in
the South. Flags were not expected
to survive tho holocaust.
Nearly three years went by, and
then came Appomattox. The saddest
day of all tho war ! The sun rose that
Sabbath morning upon a discomfited
army, tho thinned ranks of proud and
victorious legions, whoso spirits had
boon undismayed by want and hunger,
and whoso valor was never more strikingly
displayed than when they
marched into tho little village of Appomattox.
Even the private soldiers
knew that the onoiny was closing up
ovcry avenue of escape, and only dosporate
fighting would break through
the cordon that Grant had formed
with his superior numbers. They were
ready to follow Robert E. Lee, and
when ho said it was timo to stack arms
and give over to history the cause for
which they had fought, they obeyed his
command. They wore reluctant to believe
that he was going to surrender,
and only his published orders to that
o.?m ,.f t ...... in,.
v. wu > i iii-vu tut. in \/i 11 r? i u?iivk> ?
Longstreot's corps had nearly 15,0U(J
men in line, more than half of the entire
army, and for four years they had
been seasoned with triumphs almost
uninterrupted, so that tfcoy were still
ready for the conflict. The hour came
when they inustyield totho inevitable.
The Federal troops were drawn up to
witness the actual capitulation, when
the Confederates would stack their
arms for the last lime, and peace
would come to a distracted country in
lieu of the unceasing clash of arms.
The Palmetto Sharp Shooters woro in
their place, cast down and sorrowful,
and the men wont through their task
with mechanical motion, heedless of
the surroundings except that longcherished
ambitions and tho brightest
hopes of their lives were vanishing
forever ! There was no wish or
thought among them to talk with an
erstwhile foe, and they gloomily withdrew
to themselves after hanging
their accoutrements on the stacked
guns. But the oyes of others'had detected
the fact that they wero South
Ca-oiinians, and instantly tho Federal
siidiers asked what regiment it was,
when tho answer was given in low
tones, " Palmetto Sharp Shooters."
This caused a rush t>wards them, and
in a few minutes they wero intermingled
with tho members of tho Six
teenth Michigan ! Not all of either
command had been at Gaines' Mill,
but they were all familiar with the
result of tho single-handed combat on
that field, and the Michigan captors
now vied with each other in bestowing
kindness and courtesy upon the crostfallon
l'almottoes. Haversacks and
canteens were at tiio disposal of tho
captured Carolinians, who were nothing
loth to accept the proffered friendship
of men whom they had defeated so
completely in the early days of tho war. i
Tho cup of water given on that dismal <
ight in 1802 was not forgotten, and
farm hearts from tho frozen North
iielted and mollowod thoir now-found

riilrty-Second Anniversary of tho
Surrender at Appoiunttnx.
At Appomattox Court IIoubo, Va.,
2 years ago tho Oth of April, General
J rant received tho sword of Hubert
?. 1 -ee as a token of the full suhmibiion
to tho arbitrament of arms of t'uo
etorans of tho Army of Northern Virginia.
Although the 80,000 troops
resent with Coo at that time eontituted
loss thun u lifth of tho organizd
Confederate forces in tho tiold, thoir
lurrendor was a signal to tho soldiery
md people of the South that thoir
:auso was lost.
uonerai tree's retreat from I'eters>urg
wiih delayed the whole day of the
th of April, 1805, by the activity of
be troops of the Second Federal corps,
vhich harrussod his army along the
Xppomattox route westward. During
he night ho put his men in motion
Or their last march to Appomattox
Jourt Mouse. He reached it witli the
idvanco about 8 o'clock in tlio evening
>f tiie Hil), and soon afterward a dash
>f Federal cavalry from the south
jave warning tiiat a force was across
lis front and new plans were neeesai;y.
Sheridan was on ills front with
he cavalry divisions of Generals Merit
t and Crook. Generals Ord, Grillin
mil Wright had three Federal corps
trung along the Lynchburg railroad
iouth of him, and iluinplireys corps
vas closing up from the east.
Generals Grant and Lee had been in
sorrespondenco for 24 hours relative
o the surrender. On the 7th Grant
tad written to Leo asking " the sur ender
of that portion of the Confodjrato
States army known as the Army
if Northern Virginia." That niglit
J rant received a response from Lee
isking him what terms he would offer
in condition of surrender. Grant re>11
ed on the 8th, naming no hard eonlitions
and stating that peace was his
;reat dobiro.
The opposing armies were then movng
steadily to Appomattox Court
ELouso on parallel routes. At dusk on
,he 8th loco's second note reached
jrant. It stated tliat ho (Lee) did not
ntend to surrender the Armv of'
Northern Virginia, as ho did not think
,ho occasion called for it. IJo in.(mated
that ho would treat for peace.
"Jrant replied on tho morning of the
)tli that ho could not treat for peace,
'once could only ho had hy the South
aying down its arras. Hostilities had
lot heon suspended, and the several
Auloral corps took positions for battle.
Meantime events behind the scenes
lad hastened Leo's decision to go back
,o Grant's original proposal and treat
or the surrender 6f tho Army of
Northern Virginia. On the evening
>f the 8th lie had called a council of
;orps commanders to consider Grant's
.erms, as stated in his letter of tho
<tli. It was decided not to accept un:ess
it should bo demonstrated that the
whole Federal army was up. Sherilan,
with his cavalry corps and Ord's
nfantry command, had outmarched
.he Confederates and stood across their
mthway at Appomattox. Lee sent
forward his cavalry, under General
Fit/. Hugh Leo and General John 11.
Gordon's infantry, to fall upon Shorilan
at daylight on the Dth and open a
road toward Lynchburg, and, failing
,o do so. to send word to Lee, who
would go hack toward tho picket lines,
with the expectation of meeting Grant
.o treat for peace. Gordon and Fit/.
Hugh Lee advanced at sunrise, strikng
and driving o!T two of Sheridan's
brigades, with the loss of guns anil
[) risoners.
Three d'vislons of infantry wore sent
Lo relievo the cavalry, which was retiring
in confusion. A now lino was
formed, and the whole moved out at
double quick to he mot at once hy a
white flag. The bearer a* kid for a
cessation of hostilities pending tho
negotiations between Loo and Grant,
llugles sounded a halt. Sheridan rode
nil toward tho left front, where Gordon
had passed tho Federal outposts
and was forming for battle around Appomattox
Court House. Sheridan sent
Gordon a demand to surrender, and he
answered :
i 4 r*; is a. - .? /? *
vjivu my cum pi i incuts io uenerui
Sheridan and say that 1 wilt not surrender."
" Hut Gonoral Sheridan will annihilate
you," said the bearer of the summons,
with an expression of alarm.
" 1 am perfectly aware of tho situation,"
responded Gordon.
Information now became general
that there was a truce and that Grant
and Leo were in communication.
Sheridan asked of Gordon and other
leaders an assurance that the negotiations
intended surrender, and this was
given. It was arranged between
Sheridan and Gordon to await events,
and both dismounted, and the men
learned for tho first time tho exact
state of allairs.
Grant had had instructions through
Secretary Stanton to have no conference
with Lee except for the capitulation
of his (Lee's) army, and after
sending Leo the answer to this effect
ho had ?'iddon off to the left and south
to get around to the head of tho column.
On reading Grant's lust note,
Lee, who had by this time heard from
Gordon and Fit/ Hugh Leo that tho
Federal cavalry and infantry were
confronting them, sent another dispatch
to Grant asking for an interview
to discusss his (Grunt's) original
offer.
Leo wrote at 0 o'clock in tho morning,
and his note was sent ahead to
overtake Grant. Ho was found about
eight miles from the Court llouso, and
ho wrote at once that ho would push
forward and meet Loo.
The generals mot about 1 o'clock at
tho houso of William McLean, in tho
village of Appomattox, and tho details
for tho surrender of tho Army of
Northern Virginia wore arranged.
The terms were parole of officers and
men, with the privilege of going homo.
The private property of officers paroled
was not to bo disturbed, and soldiers
who claimod horses wore allowed to
koep them.
Tho surrender ombracod about 28,000
men, but only about 8,000 delivered
up muskets. Fit/ Hugh L ;o withdrew
his cavalry before tho surrender
and reached Lynchburg. Substquontly
his force and Hossor's laid down
their arms.
Tho historic Sunday, April 0, 1805,
closed with a friendly mooting bo
iwuun mo umuers iinu soiuiers wno
had fought one another so zealously
for four years. The Union men shared
their rations with the Southornors, |
who at times upon this last march had
actually lived upon raw corn.
