WHEN DID THE WAR END?
Difficulties in the Way of Setting a Specific
Day Marking; the Termination of
the Rebellion.
"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.
