General Joshua Chamberlain commanded the 1st Division of 5th Corp of the Army of Potomac which gave the Honour of The Arms formally accepting the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, on Apr.12, 1865.
General Chamberlain was the one who FORMALLY accepted the surrender; however, Lee, in standard history books that don't go very in-depth, actually surrendered to General Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse in 1865.

Ulysses S Grant was the Union general who accepted Robert E Lee's surrender.
The last regular army Confederate general to surrender was Lt. Gen. E. Kirby Smith on May 26th 1865. He then fled to Mexico with some 2000 of his troops. Cherokee Chief Stand Waitie who was aligned with the Confederate army did not surrender his force of warriors from various Indian tribes until June 23rd 1865. As Waitie was commissioned a brigadier general in the Confederate Army, he can be said to be the last Confederate general to surrender; however, Waitie did not command a Confederate army but rather a coalition of native American irregulars aligned with but not a part of the Confederate Armed Forces.
