Great excitemenent.
Rebels hung out flag of truce and General Grant has gone to meet General
Pemberton. All are on the qui-vive to know what the terms are and if Grant will
accept or if Pemberton will decline to accept Grant's; if so, look out for
bloody work. Rumors are that Grant has given Pemberton until tomorrow to decide
on his terms.
