Due to the fact that the war was"brother against brother" and the country suffered great losses. Gen Grant knew that it would only hurt the peace and coming together of the country.

Why did general grant not want the union soldiers celebrating after they won the civil war?

You are referring to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. The Union troops were cheering as Lee left. General Grant stopped them. He was very embarrassed. General Lee was riding off, as heartbroken as a man could be. General Grant told his men that the Southerners "are our countrymen again." This was not actually the end of the Civil War, but it was close enough!

Why was the Confederate army still a viable military force at the end of 1863?

Despite the loss of troops at the Battle of Gettysburg, the number of troops in the Confederate army in the period between June and December 1863, Southern army manpower stood at 464,646. This was a loss of 9,000 troops from June 1863,a drop of about two percent. This was due to increased conscription and volunteering. Even though 30,000 men surrendered to US Grant in July of 1863, it was not an unconditional surrender. The "deal" worked out was that the 30,000 would be paroled. Grant had nowhere to send the Confederate troops. Most of them scattered but rejoined the Confederate army.
