No, it was Joe Johnston - and he had to surrender twice over, because Sherman's original peace-terms were not ratified by the government!
I don't think they appointed a supreme commander. Robert E. Lee was in charge of the army in the East and was undoubtedly their leading general. Jefferson Davis was the president - I do not know if he was commander-in-chief of military forces like the US president.
The surrender of the Confederate Army of Tennessee to Sherman, by its commander, Joseph E. Johnston, took place at Bennett's farmhouse, near Durham, North Carolina, which was about midway between the camps of the two armies. The site is preserved today as Bennett Place. The surrender was on April 26, 1865, seventeen days after Lee had surrendered. But it was not the last. Richard Taylor surrendered in early May the last remaining sizable Confederate force east of the Mississippi at Citronelle, Alabama, and Edmund Kirby Smith surrendered the Confederates west of the Mississippi in late May.
The South never surrendered as such in the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox, Virginia. Then General Joseph E. Johnson surrendered all Confederate Forces east of the Mississippi River on April 26, 1865, in Raleigh, North Carolina. General E. Kirby Smith commander of the Confederate Forces west of the Mississippi River simply waved goodbye to his troops. He refused to surrender. On June 19, 1865, a union ship sailed into the Corpus Cristi harbor. The ship's captain discovered the Confederate Flag flying. He discovered Texas had not surrendered and no one existed to do the surrendering. He ordered all Confederate Flags removed and the Emancipation Proclamation read from every court house. That ended the Civil War west of the Mississippi.
There was no formal surrender of the South to the North. General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Virginia. General Joseph E. Johnson surrendered the armies east of the Mississippi on April 26, 1865 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Confederate Government dissolved itself on May 2, 1865. The order went out from a Union General in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, for all Confederate flags to be removed and the Emancipation Proclamation to be read from every courthouse in Texas. That day is called Juneteen. Take your pick.
Appomattox Court House is a village located three miles (5 km) east of Appomattox, Virginia, USA (25 miles east of Lynchburg, Virginia, in the central part of the state), famous as the site of the Battle of Appomattox Courthouse and containing the house of Wilmer McLean, where the surrender of the Confederate Army under Robert E. Lee to Union commander Ulysses S. Grant took place on April 9, 1865, effectively ending the American Civil War. The site is now commemorated as Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, a National Historical Park. This answer was cut and pasted from Wikipedia
