He rode under the flag of that regiment three joars , and It was while still following itb colors that , on April 8 , 1865 he blew the blast that started the last charge of the bat tle of AppomattON. "After laying on our arms all night , " said Mr. Slsson , In relating the occurrence , "we were called early and before daylight on April 8 were In the saddle. Trouble began at an early hour. Wo advanced and met the enemy's skirmish line , brushing them before us easily. Suddenly we found < /iat Instead of advancing on Leo's wagon train , as we had supposed , we were upon Lee's army. Then It was I blow the last bugle charge of a hostile nature and we went charging at them. "As wo rushed on two of General Gordon's aides rode out carrying a flag of truce. We stopped nnd boon learned that Lee was pre paring to surrender. The war was over. " This flag of truce that Mr. Slsson refers to was the dirty towel that General John n Gordon humorously mentions In his "Last Dajs of the Confederacy , " but It was a signal of triumph that was as Joyfully re ceived by the boys In blue as a much cleaner and white one would have been. "A federal officer rode out to meet the truce bearers , " continued Mr. Sisson. "Mean while. Ouster rode at the head of his charg ing column , entirely Ignorant of the proffered truce , until two aides spurred their ho'ties after him and overtook him. and ho Immedi ately ordered the column to halt. He then i ode back to General Gordon's headquarters , where terms of surrender were discussed. "While this consultation was going on In General Gordon's tent a squad of confederate cavalry dashed Into the front of the union ranks. Gordon started to send them word that hostilities had closed , but discovered that ho was without aid , He thereupon called ono of Ouster's sides , and thus the last order over sent by the gallant Georgian was carried by a federal officer.
