W1IITAK Kit DKSt'ltlllKS THE INCIDENTS OK I.KK'S SI*It IIEN DKK At the celebration of the anniversary of lice's surrender by the department of the Potomac, grand army of the Hepublie, at Washington I). April b, 1K1H1, whieh,was attended by many memliers of Congress, high otlieers of the army, and other distinguished men. the gallant <?en. K. W. Whitakor, who was General Castor's chief of staff, read a very important i?apcr oh the reception of the Hag of trace, which was an exceedingly valuable contribution to history. "On the 8th of April,'* lie said, "our command. General Custer's third cavalry division, had captured the railway supply trains, and in a night battle captured twenty-tive pieces of artillery, and planted aline of battle facing east toward the reltel line, cutting off its retreat toward Lynchburg. "On tin* morning of the Oth of April, IH'.Wi, our division was the first in saddle, having lieen relieved l>v eavalry and infantry brought up during the night, I was directed to lind the right Hank of our infantry, and the liest route to take with the column, to engage in the 1 mt tie which had commenced. I succeeded in finding a crossing of a nivine east of the station, and gained the crest of the hill on the extreme right of our infantry line?a brigade of colored troops then under lire of thercliel infantry on the plain toward the court house. As fast as our command could be got across the ravine it was formed on this crest, a large open field, in column by squadrons, with colors Hying and sabres drawn, ready for the command to charge. "Our division was coin|>nscd of three brigades of eavalry and a ktttery of 1 artillery to eaeli brigade. 1'uderstiitiding that we were to be supixirtcd hy the entire eavalry under General Merritt we pressed down upon the enemy and received the tire from lottery after kittery of artillery without stopping to return it General Custer riding at the head of his column, was looking for a favorable oftening for a charge. Our movement along the tlank of the reliel arm\ was slow at first, hut the lire of the rein 1 batteries had nettled our horses into a half trot, when suddenly an olliecr came out of the rek'l line waving a large towel in his hand. lie said la1 was Captain Sims of I.ongstreel's staff, and came b\ direction of General I.ce, who asked a nus| tension of hostilities. "In an instant (ienerol Custer said to ?!- <? fl?i< ir.i U' llir, II liniin* , mm iiim * ?*?*, ^ with this oflicer t(? ticncrnl Leo. with m\ compliments, s;iy I cannot stop this charge, as 1 am not solo in ooiimiiinil of tliis lioM. unloss ho iinnounoos an imcoiulitioiiiil siirromlor.' I took tho towol anil askod Sims to show mo tho shortest cut to where ho hail left I.eo. Ho had reached our head of column on the le''t tlark, hut in returning wo woi.t s'raight ahead in the direction our column was moving. I romomhor vigorously swinging tho old towel, and tho groat relief 1 felt on entering therelx' line without lioiiig tired at. "At the point we entered, only a short distance from where we had left (touoral < 'lister, a battery of reltol artillery was posted, and as we passed the guns I saw the pyramids of shells piled on the ground in the rear of each mm, and every gunner in petition to give a warm reception :d the command, 'Fire.' < >11 reaching the riKtd columns of reltel infantry were moving in |M'i feet order, and I recall hearing a soldier shout. WIi;it is that Yankee doing here with his arms on'/' 1 had 1 ?>l?l?*4l Ili?* towel out oi SI-Jill as soon ;is i reached the reln-1 line. When we reached the place where Sims Iia? 1 left th-ncra! l>ee we found only (icnerals Cordon nnd l/oie/street. wlio explained that l.oe had ?allop|n-d off to the rear to find (iencral Crant immediately after Sims had started out with the truee toilet a suspension of Jiostilitics, and had left them in eoiniiiand I stated to them the message from ( lister to la-e, and that I must have immediate reply. They said there was no dotiht of surrender, as we had rut oil their line of retreat the nitflit ln-fore, and that they were personally satisfied of the jjppelessness of further resist a nee. I exfttrwd regret that so many good uien liud l**n killed the ni^ld ln-fore and (hat morning, when they said that Ccnf-ral l/OC would pot ln-lieve that (la- in1*??try were aeross the J.ynchhurg pike, unlit /lie repulse of < .onion's charge, which |,a/| In-en made that morning h\ J?is order. "While we were talking, tiring wa> heard to the Kast of where I had left f>4*nrral Custer, and at my surest ion an ntllVvr was sent to the South Carolina 4'oloiu l with oiders to stop liiing. I ua- | ti<ed that the guns tJmt were moving past tis as. w v talked had smoke coming x. from their mouths, indicating that they were tne same that had been used so vigorously on our column a short time bef jre. I protested against the moving of these guns, and was assured that the object was to water the horses, which was Iteing done in a small creek near by. I saw this with my own eyes, but notic* injX that the nuns wore nammtf an elevated posit ion on the op|iositc side I wanted more evidence of good faith liefore I took an annouiieeineiit of surrender kick to General Custer. "At this moment, General Ord's infantry line of kittle was seen closing in on us from the West, and I was licked to annouiiee a surrender of the army to that line. I hesitated for a moment, and then said: I will make the announcement if the reh 'l ollieer will no with me. Until a few yeai-s an<>. I had supposed it was Sims who went with me, hut ho wrote from his home in South Carolina that ('aptain Crown of Gordon's stalT went with mo. There was no time to lose. I ]>iilled out the old white towel and rode out to the Union Infantry line, and said to General .1. L. Chamlierlaiiic of Maine that Gee's army had surrendered unconditionally. The line halted at once, and ami a shout went upalonn the line from ri rlit to left that words fail to descrilie* I left the rcliel Captain Ilrown with ChnmlHTlainc. and then galloped hack across the lield to General Custer, to make the same announcement of Lee's surrender. It was in this way that the infantry historians claimed that surrender was lirst made to theni. ? d' l?-? 1...- 1 - 1 1,4 -mm- ill llir llllll l^ IlilM' MiUCU I llill a single rebel officer took the announce111 ?nt. a natural error when it is remcmb ?reil (h:it I instantly gn11o|?ed back aero vs the (iekl to repoit what 1 hail done t i (ieneral Custer. lie had liecpmo very i npatiin' over my delay in returning, and took a pocket hauderehief :is a truce and tried to find me.

"It was about this time that the two (ieuerals met at McLean's house, and tbo generous terms promised by (ieneral (irant weae signed on a table which (ieneral Sheridan bought and presented to Mrs. (ieneral Custer, with a letter stating that the country was indebted to her gallant husband more than to any other i mm s in for the gloiious event of the day.

Richmond, Vam June .'50.?Several times since the Imud scandal lias 1x>(*oiiic so prominent the name of Mr. John Skelton Williams, the energetic ami prosperous young hanker of thiscity, has lieen mentioned in eonneetion with the que.1 ti<?n, "Who got those commissions?" This afternoon I called on Mr. Williams and had a talk with him in regard to the matter. He gives an interesting chapter to the Imnd business as a member of the syndicate. He says that he took the matter up after Mr. Lancaster's failure and the agreement to pay Mr. Khind a commission, which has been mentioned, was stated to them by Mr. Ithind. The people composing the syndicate then thought the investment a good one with the commission allowed, and took the lionds. lie confirms to the letter Col. Haskell's statement, recently published, and says Mr. Ithind stated he could not give them (the syndicate; the amount they exacted as commissions, liccuusc "A large portion of it had to lie paid to parties whose services and influences were necessary in the (teiieml Assembly. He says he did not know.to whom Mr. Ithind referred. They had no right to ask him. yet they had no idea that it would lie used for any impro|M>r purpose.'" Mr. Ithind gave them to understand all the way that this commission was to he so disposed of. So far as he knows the drafts were divided in order that the amount should Ik* given to '"hisassociates." He never heard anything said connect ing any State otlieers with the transaetion. In reply to a question lie said: "No, I have never lieanl oge won I to connect any State otlieer \Vith the matter.
