McClure Co. ) Tlio eurrender of I.ec to Grant on April 9 , 1865 , Is almost universally set as the end of the cMi war Hut If by the "end" of the [ war wo mean the return of peace , the civil war woo still many months from n close In April , 1SC5. The surrender of Ue , In fact , [ was moldy the beginning of the end. It was not until April 20 that Johnston Btirrendcrod ti Sherman , but for some time- after I eo' and Johnston's armies had been paroled , bands not Included In the capitula tion waged war In the cast. It was not , In fact , until the md of June that these hostile military organl/atlons had all surrendcicd Even then guetlllas existed In.arloua parts of the mountains and In secluded villages , and prowled about the towns. General Hal- lock , who commanded the mlUtaiy division of the Jamoi after Leo's surrender , reported the presence of numbers of these bands In Ills vicinity , but tailed them simply outlaw t , and ho said , lee , that in most cares the > mre probably made up as much from dc- serteM fiom the union aimles as tram rebel guerilla bands Such a state of things was really to bo expected Tlio disbanding of the armies threw great bodies of men adrift. Those from the north went back to an organl/ed Boclcty. Shops , farms and factories cried for them Tlio great rnafvt of men freed was absoibed almost at once Yet even In the uoith the effect of the breaking up of the army was visible In apots and uncom fortably bo for a time. In the south the condition was a thousand times moro com plicated. All those tummcrchl and Indus trial enterprises which took up the men of the north wore dcstiojcd. Plantations wcio ruined , Industrlio had disappeatcd. Moat ecrloim of nil , the whole system of labor was disorganized Men who had been properU owners went back to their homes to find hopeless desolation waiting Ueuiusc Of their superior pluck and Intelligence thc > took hold of the table of rctonstuictlon Imme diately Theio was moro clnnuo for them than for the thousands of men who bcfoio the war had lived by salaried or on da > 's waged. Kor this class there was almost no hope. The men who h id employed thorn were forced to do their own clerical and manual woik now. llundicda of these men Booing no chance , kept up their warlike at- tltudo They found aims In one way or an other , and taking to the foiests or the moun tains for months they carrlnd on a bush jnbacker's war. In the west the surrender of organized forcrH wan slower than In the east. It was not until Ma > t thit General Richard Taj- lor , commanding In Mobile , surrendered hla army , and the trane.mlsqlsslppl . region wab much moic olfctlnatc about giving In. It should be sild for them , however , that It Avon homo time before they knew of Loe'h Burroiider , and even then their Information was by rumor only. As late as May 11 a _ j battle of some ImportJiice was fought In Texas. This engagement Is known as the battle of Palmetto lanch. It came about la Ibis wn\ Tlin LAST UATTLn. Near the mouth of the Ulo Grande Is ail Inland known as Brazes , where , In the spring of 18G5 , a considerable force of fcdnal troops iwcro stationed A few miles up the ilvor was a station , Palmetto Ranch , vvlrore con federate forces guaulecl a quantity of cattle end supplies.

On their arrival ho attacked again , and again drove out the confederates This time he burne. ' up barracks and stores , cleaning out Hit post entirely. The victory was short-lived for the name day ( May 13) ) the confederates came back with a larger force , and drove oft their assailants The fodetalh retired lighting as they went.

MUCH nESULTOUY riRHTINO. Hut while Palmetto ranch Is called the last battle of the war , there was as a mat ter of fact much desultory fighting went of the Mtoilf > lppl river Klrby Smith , v.ho comminded the troops of that region , did not surrender until May 26 , mid then the nurrondor vas a force , for Smith fled to Mexico , and his troop ? , who had dcclaroJ they would never lay down tlielr arms , es caped to their homes destrojing the maga zines and cnrrjInR away arms nnd ammuni tion to renew the fight BOMO day later they said. In Arkansas , Missouri tind Louisiana there were n suores lon of hostilities which kept the federal forces busy , though none of the collisions can bo dignified bv the name of battles They wcro merely skirmishes with wandering guerillas , the floating debris of the confederate army men who had no homes and no sense of responsibility , and who suv. no life so attracting as that of the bushwhacker. Sometimes they were caught robbing farms or stores , again they weie traced to their hiding places in the swumps and mountain' . Their hunting of "jaj- hawktru" as Ulo federals called them laotetl for many months. Indeed , It was not until April 2 , ISCG , that I'lcsldent Johnson Issued a proclamation that the war was over , a proclamation which brought from senate and house , both of which bodies vvcie at that moment in conflict with Johnson , the sneerIng - Ing Inquiry : "Will the president toll us In what part of the south the war has ceased and In what place peace Is really rc- stoicd ? " The president , however , had specified what parts of the couth he considered tranquil. Georgia , South Carolina , North Carolina Vltglnia , Tennessee , Alabama , Louisiana , Arkansas , MUslbslppi and Florida were the states ho named ; Texas uai omitted It wn , ; not until August 20 , ISjS , 'hit Johnson lc- uuej ,1 proclamation which Included Texas and which proclaimed "tho lnsurrt < tlon 'H at an end" and "peace , order , tranquillity and civil authority now exist In and through out the whole ot the Unite 1 Sta'es. " The next year , In March , 1SG7 , eongiess declared that the- date of this second proulamitlon should be considered an the Ugal termina tion of the war. REMARKABLE PENSION CASK. It Is now so considered In cai'oa before the courtH In which such .1 date Is ne-c- ossar > , as It has been more than once In settling pension claims The vvholj sube"t was piettily argued only a few years ago In a pension case of considerable Interest This case aro-x ; fiom the passage by congubs in June , IS'JO. of an omnibus pens'on ' bill giving pensions to all persons who had fccrred ninety dajs or more in the rebellion and had been honorably discharged. Among tho. < e who took advantage of thit , was one John Darlejoung , who had cnllatc-J on April 19 , l GG , and had been dlschatged on April 19 , 1S'J9. Uarleyoung claimed that hlnce the war had ended on August 20 , ISfiG , and ho had enlisted on April 11 , ISfilJ. he had served more than nln-ely dajn , and so WUH entitled to a pension. The courts , however , dl-wgieed with him. 'I ho bill of U90 dots say the court agreed that all who served during the war of the rebellion are entitled to pensions , but evi dently congre meant by this only those whose military seivlco was in some wa > Connected vv.lh the suppressing or the re bellion. It did not mean these ot the army > vho WCTO doing ordinary military service , .men as filling peats In a foreign countrj , fighting Indians , protecting fisheries In Maska. To receive a pension a man's cerv- ice must have been connected with the war Now , Uarleyoung claims a pension because of service-In the war between April 13 , his enlistment , nnd August 20 , the legal date of the close of the icbelllon. Where did the United States government require war service at th's ' period ? On \irll [ 2 1'TcsIdent Johnson had declared tint ' pe'aro was lestored In Georgia , South Carolina lina , Virginia , North Caiollna , Tennessee- Mississippi , Alabama , Louisiana , Arkansas , MUsUsippl and Florida.

These scholarships will bo awarded to students passing the best competitive examination , provided the candi dates meet the requirements for admission to the lowest work carried at the university. Examinations this year will be held at the university September 14 , 15 , 1C and 17 , but the hope Is expressed by the chancellor that in the future examinations may beheld hold at the several county seats under the auspices of the county superintendents. These scholarships may be with or without privilege If the candidate has pecuniary need the chancellor states that the scholar ship will carry with It the privilege ot dls- ponsliiR with the payment o ( any fee or de posit of any kind at the university , except the matriculation ( eo required by the statute. Superintendent Bodwell announces that any person desiring to compete for a scholar ship should make application to him some tlmo during this month.

Jake Bennett was about 19 years old , and was probably the most avvkwaid man I ever saw , says the Louisville Courier-Journal. Ho was long and angular , and had a bony head with strong Jaws. His great white teeth were always shown when he smiled , and ho always smiled when he was In a fight. In camp Hcnnett was a slouchy , un prepossessing follow , and his feet , which were unusually large , were always in some body's way. He was shy and never In truded himself , but when It came to riding and shooting he was In his glory. I have seen him many times on the back ot a fast horse , with the bridle rein In his teeth and a pistol In each hand , charging lllvo mad and shooting with remarkable accuracy. Ho had the reputation of killing threa or four men every time there was a chance. Ho was then In charge of a detail on foraging expeditions and got In many Bklrmishcs along the load. Liter he was unanimously chosen captain on account of his bravery. Indeed , ho was like unchained llghtnUig In a hand-to-hand fight , and It was In one of these that Dennett distinguished himself. There wore about 1,500 soldiers lying be tween Alexandria and Liberty. We had no chance on the field , and had to content our selves with harassing the enemy and In cutting oft their wagon trains and making It dlfilcult for them to forage. The two armies lay confronting each other before the engagement at Murfroesboro , and I was sent with a detail of Ecouts to waylay any that I could. Doing only 180 men all told , wo determined to take advantage of the hilly road and the rocky hillside , which were thickly covered with cedars. Across the road wcro a nuoibcr of felled trees , and while we were all mounted It was comparatively easy to keep out ot sight. While we were thus ambushe-d a federal wagon train came slowly along the road , guarded by three flies of 'Infantry. Theio wore eight wagons In the tialn , rnd uo attacked them suddenly and boldly , realizing the ncesslty of quick work. The fight was close and hot for a few minutes , but when the Infantry came rushing up wo paw that the conflict would now bo between pistols and gnny. iAt this point Dennett's sergeant was un- horeed and had fallen to the ground. Just as ho Jumped up , however , a federal soldier plunged nt him with a bayonet At the same Instant another soldier raised his gun to kill Dennett In this terrible situation the alcrtnexs and courageous generosity of Jake Dennett prompted him to shoot first the man who was attacking his sergeant and then tlni man who was threatening his own life I consider that this Instance- , where a man could so suddenly conceive ( ho Idea to defend hU fellow soldier bcfaro himself , Illustrates thu Innate noL-lllty and generosity of the. man. The great soul of awkward Jake Dennett re sponded to the Impulse , and Mi Eclf-Eacrlfic- liifl act was the highest example of heroism that I witnessed during the war. llncl.lcii'M M-iild ! Sal ie.
