"Were it necsssnry to set a day mark ing the twentieth anniversary of the exact termination of the civil war, the task might puzzling. It is cer tain that there would 02 a wide spread difference of opinion 113 to what day should be chosen for that purpose. Richmond, the confederate capital, was captured and occupied by the union forces on the morning 01 April 3, 1865, its garrison having aban doned it during the night preceding. Hostilities, however, went on with vigor in Yirginia as well as elsewhero until April 9th, when the army of northern Virginia surrendered at Ap pomattox. But that date does not mark the end of the war. The week following was a busy and sanguinary one in many quarters. On that same 9th of April, Uanby, whose army with the aid of the fleet, had been invest ing the defenses of Mobile, captured Spanish Fort and its dependencies, with many guns and several huudred prisoners." Before night FortBlake y was carried by assault, with twenty guns and 2,40U prisoners. A few days later Mobile was evacuated, and on" tho 14th Granger's forces occu pied the city. The Union loss in these operations at Mobile was about 2,500 men killed and wounded, be sides five or six vessels, which were blown up by torpedoes. Stoneman was meanwhile carrying on vigorous operations iu a portion of North Carolina. On the 12th of April, three days after Lee's surren der, he attacked the enemy's lines around Salisbury, capturing fourteen pieces of artillery and more than elev en hundred prisoners, together with great stores of ammunition, army blankets, clothing, bacon, salt, rice, wheat and cotton. Thence he moved to Slatersville, destroying railroad track and bridges. "Wilson, with a cavalry foroo of great magnitude, was continuing dur ing this same period his memorable operations iu Alabama and Georgia. After his capturo of Selma, on the 2nd of April, ho moved eastward, oc cupying Montgomery and all the prominent points on the road to Ma con. On the 16th of April, in the last combat of tho war east of the Mississippi, ho carried Columbus and West Paintj and on the 21st of April, Macon surrendered with three score field pieces and ten or twelve thousand Georgia Militia. Sherman's march to Raleigh was begun as late as April 10th, and on the evening of the 12th Kilpatrick was fighting "Wade Hampton's rear guard, while Raleigh was reached and entered on the 13th. Negotiations for Johnston's sur render were next begun, and the first memorandum for that pur pose, made near Durham station, was dated April 13th. This, however, was rejected by President Lincoln, and the final agreement was signed on the 26th. As late as April 23rd the sixth corps was put on the march for Danville, in order to cut off the p issibility of Johnston's escape, and General Sheridan's cavalry were en gaged in the same occupation. Be tween the 19th and the 22nd there were military expeditions in Tennes see. But even the surrender of Johns ton's army left many confederate forces in the field, and it was clearly possible for these to carry on guer rilla operations, or even to prolong regular warfare for a time west of the M ssiasippi. The troops of Get?! Jeff Thompson did not surrender until May 11th, and the actual assem bling and paroling of his men took place May 25th at Wittsburg, on the St. Francis river, and June 5th at Jacksonport, on the White. Tho en tire force paraded numbored 7,451 officers and men. The surrender of Lieut-Gen. Richard Taylor's much lrrger army was made at Uitronule, in Alabama, on the 4th day of May. Tho surrender of Commodore Far rand's squadron of twelve confederate vessels in tho Tombigbee river, with thoir officers and men, wasagreed upon at the same time, and took place on May 9th. Tho following day Uen. McCook, of Wilson's corps received at Tallahassee, the surrender of Jones' Florida forces, 8,000 Btrong. Meanwhile there had been threats of yery serious resistance by some of the' trans-Mississippi forces, which expected to be joined by Jefferson Davis, then a fugitive in Georgia. The unremitting search for Davis kept "Wilson's forces busy throughout the earlier part of May and until his capture at Irwinsville on the 10th. Long before this event Gen. Kirby Smith, at Shreveport, in Louisiana, had issued an order to his army an nouncing Leo's surrender and his purpose to carry on the war beyond the Mississippi On the 24th of April Gen.Magruder, at Houston, addresed a great war meeting to the same ef fect. On the 27th Hardeman's brig ade, at Independence pledged them selves to continue the war to the bitter end. On the 2nd of May Parsons' brigade adopted similar res olutions in Robertson county, Texas. On the 8th of May tho citizens of Fort Bend county resolved that, "in no event will we ever consent to re construction,' and proposed that 90,000 recruits should be added to the forces of bmith and Magruder. These are examples, to which others might be added, of the hostile feeling prevailing at that time in Ar kansas and Texas. I On the 13th of May a body of union j troop3 under Col. Barrett had a sharp skirmish at Palmetto ranch, about fifteen miles above Brazos, in Texas. Tho confederates, under command of General Slaughter, aided by Col. i ord s cavalry and three field pieces, klrove back Barrett's command to ward Brazos, with a reported union loss of about seventy or eighty in killed, wounded and missing. Thus the last combat of the war, somewhat curiously goes into the record as a confederate success. However, in spite of all the threats and pledges to carry on the strnggle in Texas, wiser counsels prevailed, and on the 26th day of May Kirby Smith, through his chief of staff, Lieut.-Gen. Buckner surrendered his entire army to Cauby: These historical reminisoances show tho difficulty of fixing upon any spe cific day a3 marking the end of tbe war. The difficulty is increased by tho gradual process of reduction in the union armies, a process extending far beyond the times when tho last confederate troops were assembled for parole. But a greater construc tive extension of the war period was furnished by tho various agreements and statutes of tho government, each depending upon such phrases as "the duration of hostilities." With the downfall of the confederato govern ment the southern states acted inde pendently of each other, and a pro cess of military occupation and polit ical reconstruction was undertaken in each of them. In a war between two nations a treaty of peace often furnishes tho historical date for the conclusion of hostilities; but there was no treaty-making power at tko south. By degrees congressional leg islation began to refer to the war as a thing of the past, in such phrases as "the late insurrection;1' yet more than a year passed after the last confeder ato troops disbanded before the formal official announcement that the insurrection was over. At length such a proclamation was made by President Johnson, and thereafter the judicial tribunals fixed upon that announcement as the true legal date of the end of the war. Thus tho adjutant-general's office, in a letter to General Carleton of February 24, 18S3, uses this expressien: "The su premo court of the "United States has decided that the war of the rebellion closed on August20, 1866, the date on which the President issued his proclamation declaring tho insurrec tion at an end." And only two or three months ago Secretary Lincoln, referring to the samo subjeot, remind ed the senate committeo on military affairs that "tho supreme court of the United States, in the case of the Pro tector, 12 Wall., 700, held that the war euded iu all the United Sta'tes, except Texas, on April 2. 1S65, and in Texas, on August 20, 1S66." These citations form perhaps as convenient and terse a method a3 any of presenting tbo fact that, for legal purpose3, the oivil war is interpreted as a five years conflict! So far, how ever, as actual hostilities are con cerned, they were all over before tho 1st of June, 1865. - SWKAB0RG AND HELSINGFORS. In tho former war between the western powers and Russia tho allied Baltic fleet of over fifty-vessels wea expected to do wonders. The little that was done, so out of proportion to the means at hand, disgusted all those who had built on the hope of seeing Sir Charles Napier dictating terms of peace at St. Petersburg, as did Nelson fifty years before. Nelson had no Cronstadt to confront, nor was he hampered at every stop by instructions not to attack certain places places where British capital ists had planted industries or where they were particularly interested in mercantile pursuits. So between the places liko Cronstadt, "whose stony strength wonld laugh a siege to scorn," and which they dared not at tack, and the points which must not be touched, the operations were lim ited. Bomarsund was bombarded and the Aland Isles captured, but it was a barren victory, except that it yielded the first Russian general and a whole division of troop3 as prisoners of war. Then Sweaborg was fired. For two days this fortress, which protects the town of Holsingfor, three miles dis- stant, was under bombardment, and then it was discovered that the efforts of the fleet had been thrown away and that no damage of any import ance was inflicted, except, of course, on what might be termed tho inof fensive portion of the place. In anticipation of another visit, the Russians or the Finns, for Finland has to pay the penalty of its half-and-half home-mle have been strength ening the fortress once more. Should war break out, an interesting point of comparison would be in the difference between the attacking power of the few heavy guns of the present British fleet, now destined for the Baltio, and the force whioh Napier led, of old line-of-battle ships, sputtering six ty-four pound balls from ships of 131 guns, the whole broadside of which 13 now thrown in a single shot from such monsters as the Berilow, Inflex ible or the Italians JDitilo and Band alo. Bates' "History of Pennsylvania Volunteers" shows that persons by the name of Smith, who volunteered in the late war from that state, col lected in one body, would have made a brigade of full live regiments.
