GLORY BE TO GOD!
The intelligence of the sur
render of General Lee and his.
whole army to Lieut. General
Grant arrived at this office at
twenty-five minutes to 10 o’clock
last night. It was communi
cated in a despatch from Secre
tary Stanton, and confirmed
what we have felt, from the first,
must be the ultimate result of
Lee’s crushing defeat at Peters
burg and demoralizing aban
donment of Richmond.
To this great and blessed
news it is absolutely needless
to add a single word. We can
but bow our . heads in thank
fulness to Him whose mercy
has at last dispelled the dark
ness hanging over us, and, as
we trust, for ever.
- •■-T-Uo-JJraft.
The excitement consequent upon our
recent great successes in the field has
caused a singular degree of apathy, on the
part of many of our citizens, as regards
volunteering. They seem to imagine that
the draft will not be enforced, that our
Government has no longer any necessity
for reinforcing its armies, and, in fact, that
the work of suppressing the rebellion has
well nigh come to an end.
That it has so, il would of course be use
less to deny. Soldiers will, however, still
be wanted, and the Government must have
."them.
The losses of actual life in our army,
the number of our wounded, entail upon
us the necessity of replacing the deficien
cies arising from these causes. The country
will need men for years after the rebellion
has actually been mushed out of existence,
to suppress the feverish disquietude which
must exist amongst the disbanded and de
feated Southerners. A necessity has been
icreated by this"war for a strong Govern
ment, and to make it strong the country
"must give it men and means. We are too
disposed to believe that being everywhere
,f, successful the necessity for absolute exer
g£ff-'’tion is over. Let'us not imagine this, but
"W 1 "; push on volunteering, if we wish to do
' •' away with the necessity of taking drafted
men from our midst Remember that our
country needs men, and if it cannot pro
cure them in one way it must take them
' from amongst us.
Relations with England.
bis policy and purpose towards this coun
try. He had to lay on the table of the
House of Lords certain, despatches from
Mr. Adams, our, minister in London, and
availed himself of that occasion to disclaim
hostility to this country. The American
papers consisted of two most important
documents. The first was a notice, on the
part of President Lincoln, that the Beci
procity Treaty between England and the
United States 'will, terminate in twelve
months from March 13th, and the other is
a notice, also official, of the intention to
increase our armament on the Lakes. .
Lord Bussell expresses a hope 'iiiat'
within the twelve months yet to run before
the expiration of the Beciproclty Treaty ne
gotiations may be successful in arranging
a new treaty or convention, not only for
trade, but as to the armed vessels which
shall be kept upon the Lakes. It is not Im
probable that such may be the case. The
treaty of trade between the United States
and Canada is believed to have worked a
little too favorably for Canada, and ought
to be remodelled, and there cannot be much
difficulty on the other question, once that
the w&r is over, and the neutrality of
Canada thoroughly established. Loid Rus r
bell expressed, in_tke strongest language,
his hope that .amity between England and
the United States should continue, and his
deep regret that so many expressions had
been used in England tending to confirm
'the people of the United States in the be
lief that there existed in England a feeling
of hostility to them, and that the British
Government had acted from the commence
ment of the -wet in an unfriendly manner.
It. Will be noticed that this is exactly the
rfeverse of what Qbegoby, Roebuck, Laihd,
Fbkousson, & Co., echoing the assertions
of’the Times, have invariably stated, in
order to back up their rebel friends (who
may also have been the paymasters
of some of them), namely, that Ameri
can statesmen and the American press
' have demanded that war with England
shall immediately follow the cessation of
the rebellion. The truth is, we have had
sufficient war during the last four years to
satisfy us for the next half century, and it
w is neither the policy nor the wish of the
United States to undertake any new con
test for the mere sake of fighting, or the
mere indulgence of passion.
With respect to our desiring to have the
power of increasing the armament on the
lakes, the very strongest testimony in our
favor is that delivered by Lord Russell
himself. As a Cabinet Minister, address
ing the*House of Lords upon the great na
tional question of peace rjith the United
States, he said: “ I think'it must be ad
mitted that recent occurrences on the
Lakes—namely, the seizure of vessels by
the agents of the Confederacy and other
acts of hostility—completely justify the
United States in giving notice of the termi
nation of the. convention. My lords, it
was not to be expected that the United
States should submit passively to such acts of
violence without availing themselves of all
the means of repression within their power."
This is frank, and it IS true. The Foreign
Minister of England says that the United
States were completely justified in wanting
to increase their defences on the Lakes,
and that it was not to be expected that they
should passively submit to wrong without
using all repressive means in their power.
Lord Russell evidently'does not believe
in calmly submitting to injury with the
means of efficient repression within reach.
More labored but far less impressive
than this justification of the United States
by Lord Russell is his defence of British
policy. His apology for having granted
“belligerent” rights to the rebels is feeble
to a degree. It appears that this was
done. Oh the advice of the late Lord
Campbell, who. was then Lord Chan-
cellor, but, as is well known, was never
more than a tolerable nisi prius lawyer,
being as ignorant of equity and interna
tional law as was Lord Erskike, whose
published judgments bear the title, among
jurisconsults, of “the Apocryphal Vo
lume." The United States had exer
cised its right of blockading certain ports
in certain rebelled parts of its territory.
Lord Campbell jumped at the conclusion
that if the'United States had this “belli
gerent” right, the rebels ought to have
it also, which was virtually acknow
ledging the “so-called Southern Confe
deration” as independent. The blunder
was discovered—a little too late—then
the only remedy at hand was applied,
that being- a proclamation, in Queen Vic
toria’s name, commanding that strict neu
trality should be maintained. The building
of the blockade-runners, the blockade-run
ning itself, the use of Bermuda and the Ba
hama islands by the fleet employed for that
purpose, the construction and arming of
■the Alabama and other piratical craft —these
show how feebly the proclaimed neutrality
was enforced. Lord Russell omits one
point, the claims of this" country upon Eng
land for damages to American commerce
by the Alabama and other pirates, British
built and manned, merely glancing at the
case of the Alabama and justifying, his
silence because the question may form mat
ter for discission between the Government
of the United States and that of England.
He declares, however, “ I think I may say
that we have done everything which either
international law or the laws of this country
demanded of us in order to prevent the at
tacks made on the trade of the United
States by the Alabama."
We venture to predict, however, that, in
the fulness of time, when the war is ended
and our Union stronger than ever, Lord
Russell himself, if then in his present
office, will have to submit to the payment,
by England, of from five to ten millions
sterling as compensation for such damages.
It may be a bitter pill to swallow, but it is
better to pay £5,000,006, or even double
that sum, and remain friends with us, than
reject our claims and get into war, which
would expend three times that amount in
a week or two.**
One circumstance stated by Lord Rus
sell, generally believed before, is now
placed by him on record, as an historical
fact. Lord Russell had to write a final
letter to Lord Lvons, in the affair of the
Trent, in.the winter of 1861, and, he tells
us, desired his correspondent to act in the
niost courteous manner, not making any
demand on Secretary Seward at first. He
said:’.“That appeared to®me the course
which it was most courteous to take. And I
am bound to say, in mentioning these facts,
that there is one circumstance connected
with them which does the highest credit to
the memory, good taste, and discretion of
the late Prince Consort; At the last mo
ment, after her Majesty had approved the
despatch, we received a letter from the
Prince Consort, in which he said that some
of the expressions used in the despatch
might be considered too abrupt, and sug
gested other phrases, which he thought
might make it more easy for the Govern
ment of the United States to accept the
request which it conveyed. These phrases
were adopted by the Government and em
bodied in the despatch, and, doubtless,
tended in some degree to render the docu
ment more acceptable to the United States
Government.” Indeed, it is well known
that, from the outbreak of the rebellion,
the personal sympathy not only of Prince
Albert, but also of Queen Victoria, was
strongly with the North, and the broad
principles for which it contended.
Ftmeli on “ The Situation.”

adage, surely statesmen should have the
like privilege of holding separate opinions.

British House of Commons. The army

Should Sir M, Peto’s estimate be correct,
Mr. Gladstone will never recover it. The
last number of Punch has a cartoon (one
of the best hits made by Tbnniel for a
longtime) entitled “ Yulcanin the Sulks,’V
which shows Mr. Gladstone, as Vulcan,'
sitting outside his locked smithy, with
his arms folded and his head sunk upon
his breast., as sulky as possible. Britannia,
as Venus, but helmeted. and semi-armored,
stands by, pointing to a figure in the dis
tance, bearing a.suspicious resemblance, in
caricature, to President Lincoln, who is
attired as an ancient warrior, with spear
and shield, and asks Vulcan, “If you turn
sulky, and won’t make my armor, how
shall Ibe able to resist Mars We very
much doubt whether even this appeal will
induce Gladstone to expend eighty-five
millions extra on warlike matters, while
peace is the ostentatious policy of England.
The Death of Judge Hale.
Pennsylvania has lost a valued citizen
by the death of the Hon. Jambs T. Ham,
who.expired at his home in Bellefonte on
Friday after abrief attack of typhoid fever.
..Judge Hiii was a native of Bradford
county in this State, and was bom in the
year 1810. He was admitted to the bar at
the age of 22, and practiced his profession
With great ability till 1851, when he was
appointed president judge of the Twentieth
Judicial district of Pennsylvania. His con
duct oh the bench was marked by j ustice and
integrity, and his fellow-citizens exhibited
their confidence in and esteem for him by
choosing him as their representative in the
National Congress for three snccessive
terms. During his entire Congressional
career' he.,was a member, and in his last
term chairman, of the Committee . on
Claims, a post in which his legal ability
and his unswerving integrity made him in
valuable.
He was a constant and consistent patriot,
and lent his continued and unyielding aid
to the support of the Government of his
country during her gTeat struggle with
treason. In him both the respected Secre
tary of the Navy and the Governor of our
State have lost an honored relative and
friend. Bellas been one of our most en
terprising citizens, and devoted himself
with energy to the extension of important
public improvements. We condole not
only with his family, whose grief in their
sad bereavement must be almost inconsola
ble, but with the whole community, of
which he was so honored and so estimable
a member.
The Way ol' the Transgressor;
Three rebel generals who were killed at
Petersburg were Virginians. Of the six
who were subsequently captured by She
nipAif, four were also from that State. It
must be granted by her that the path she
has trodden has not been one of pleasant
ness or peace for her children.
Market Prices.
As all household purveyors are well
aware, the prices of food in our Philadel
phia markets were a shgde higher, on Sa
turday, than at any time since the war be
gan. Whether gold be “ up” or “ down,”
the extortionate market folks have for their
persistent motto, the striking word “Ex
celsior,” which, Being interpreted, means
—raise prices to the uttermost, without re
gard to reason or justice. We are almost
tired of protesting against this most unfair
and indefensible system, but place the fact
upon record.
Am Aristocrat of the Old Dominion,
A report In the IS". Y, Tribune informs ns tbit, on
Friday last, an affair occurred in Biebmond which
mauds from us a few words of consment. »It appears
that our colored correspondent was quietly seatai tn -
the Speaker’s ohair of the rebel House Off Espresso-,
tatlves writing to us. One of the lat&y subdUed
rebels—ln all probability a thorough Southern aris
tocrat—discovered him thus engaged. His ire was
immediately hindled, and he ordered him, In coarse
language, to leave his seat. As our correspondent
did not choose to bear this Intemperate command,
this individual laid hold of him, and attempted to
dTag him out, when he was Immediately knocked
down. Leaping to hiß feet, he demanded from an
officer who wasstanding near his sword, “to out,” as
he elegantly expressed it, “ the d—d nigger’s heart
out.’* The officer, declined, not having two swords
to enable him to equalise matters, but offered “to
see fair play if they wished to fight H out,’’ express-
Ing the opinion as wellas wish* that he “ would get
worse thrashed than Led did the other day,” Upon
hearing the liberal offer, the Irascible rebel skulked
away and left our correspondent to dose his letter.
As Wo ourselves have received no account of this cir
cumstance, we merely state the fact as it was re
ported elsewhere, without making the slightest com
ment. Possibly when we hear of this circumstance
from our correspondent himself we .may And it ne
cessary to give our opinion more at length of a fact
which, ir truly reported, was a gross and most un
justifiable outrage.
On Friday last the return of Hon. Henry S. Foote
to this country was announced in the New York
press. He came to the City among the emigrant
passengers on board the Etna. Government has
since provided lor him, temporarily, a retreat as se
questered as any that could be found in Europe.
When General Dix was notified of the ex-rebel Se
nator's arrival he .telegraphed to Washington for
Instructions. A ropiy was received that Foote was
to be kept in close confinement and sent baok to Eu
rope by the next steamer. Accordingly the whilom
rebel, protesting and complaining, was yesterday
locked up in Juudlow-street jail.
Celebration of the Great News.
There will be a grand meeting of the oltlsens of
Philadelphia at Concert Hall this evening, to oolo
brate and unite in rejoicing over the glorious news
received from our gallant army. Let there bo a
great outpouring on this occasion.

[Special Despatches to The Press 3
THE DBAFT—-IMPORTANT OPINION BY THE
The Attorney General has given an opinion upon
the fourteenth section of theenrolllngaot,ln answer
to certain questions, propounded to him by the So
retary of War, respecting the actual residence of
persons liable to the draft. Mr. Speed remarks
that all persons must be presumed to have an actual
residence somewhere, and, moreover, that that
actual residence must be the place of his origin,
until he shall, from choice or removal, acquire
another. Minors have their actual residence with
their parents or guardians, and apprentices with
their masters. The ooneluslon, In substance, is,
that where a man habitually sleeps and passes his
nights is his actual residence, and not his place of
business.
The march from Petersburg to BurkesvlUe by
Gbant will rank among the swiftest'and most re
markable of the war. The distance Is fifty-throe
miles, and the march was accomplished in two days
and a half. There have been larger marches of
small commands, like that of General Aubuk’s
brigade in April, 1862, whleh in one day marched
from Catlett’s Station to within sight of Frederloks
burg, a distance of thitty miles, and captured the
city next morning before breakfast, and like that of
the 93d New York Begiment, which, on the way to
Gettysburg, marched through deep mud thirty-two
miles in twelve hours, hut-this movement of a vast
army through a strange country, and impeded by
baggage wagons, Ac., Is without precedent in the
history of the rebellion.

General ; The result of the last week

of further , resistance on the part of the

opinion you express of the hopelessness
of farther resistance on the part of the

your desire to avoid useless effusion of
blood, end therefore, before considering j

has arisen to call for the surrender of this

be the sole object of all, I desire to know
whether your proposals would tend to
that end. I cannot, therefore, meet you , g

[FOB ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS SEE FOHBTH PAGE.)
East night, about 9.40 o'clock, the news of the
surrender of General Eee, on the terms offered by
General Grant, arrived in the city. It was Imme
diately sent by local telegraph to all parts of the
city. At thehour the news arrived the streets of the
city were almost entirely deserted, the churches
having been dismissed, and, there being a dearth of
news throughout the day, people had generally re
tired for the night. By ten o’eloek the news had
begun to spread, and the apparatus of the Colum
bia:, Diligent, Fame, Amferica,, GSod Intent,
and Philadelphia fire companies had . arrived
in front of the State House and rang. the bells
of tbeir oarriages. The Philadelphia had
their steam engine out and had steam up.
The publication establishments of the several
dally.newspapers were also by this time brilliantly
iUuminatad. The Union League House is also
lighted; the .word “ylctory” in gas jets sendiaga
thrill of joy to all who look upon it.- At the Conti
nental and Girard House the sews was posted on
the news board before ten o’clock, but there were
not many present to read it.
Eleven o’clock.— Chertnut street from Third to
NintfidsaipstlSOEassablefeom-theimmense throng
-CfTSSpewho hafe risen from their beds at the an
nouncement of the glad tidings. Men, women, and
children, stout men and thin mon, sick men and
well men, stout old women and merry, laughing
young girls, school boys and boys out of school,
everybody and people that are not anybody, are
wending their way to . the newspaper offices, and
again and agaimth questions are propounded; “ Is,
the news tenet” “Is It official?’’ “How does It
come ?” Again and again are the questions an
swered in the affirmative. The apparatus of all
the fire companies of the city are out,, moit of
them being ranged along the front of-Indcpendsnce
Haff, on Chestnut off fteam and
rlrglug their carriage bells. The noise for squares
Isdeafening. The hotels are crowded, and several
stores on Chestnut street are Illuminated. An
newspaper has been issued, and the news
bojfSire reaping a harvest.
Elbven-thibty o’clock.— The women have be
come more excited than the men, and at this hour
it is said that they are the greater in number. Pis
tols, guns, and small cannon are being fired.
Bands of music followed by Immense crowds
of citizens throng the streets.' Men shake
hands instinctively with each other, and, like chil
dren, shout for j oy. Women kiss each other In the
stioet,and embrace their little ones. In their ecstacy.
The day of jubilee has come, they say. The long
loohsd-for day has arrived, and mothers, wives, sis
ters, and sweethearts) see in happy anticipation the
joyini day when
■ 'Johnny shall come marching horns. ”
Twelve o'clock.— The exettemenfis still on the
Increase. Delegations from all sections of the city,
headed with bands or music, are arriving on Chest,
nut street, and Hall Colombia and the Star Span,
gled Banner sound merrily In the midnight air.
Wight is turned Into day. Theolty is as wide awake
as lr It were twelve noon Instead of twelve mid
night. Squeezing through the Immense throng, we
hear exclamations Indicative of the great and un
suppressea joy of the people: “The Confederacy Is
played out I” “Yes, General Leo held it together,
and he has dropped It now!” “We’U be a happy
people!” “Where’s Southern Chivalry!” &c.
Oku o’clock.— The erowd Is rapidly dispersing.
Many fire companies have saluted The Press office
on their way home. There are a number on the
streets whose hliarlty shows that they have partaken
lreely of the “Oh be joyful,” but no disturbance has
occurred. It was expected- that the State House
bell would be rung, but there beingno orders to that
effect, It was not. A feature of the evening was the
Good Will Fire Company’s hose carriage, drawn'
by soldiers, every one. of whom had lost an arm in
the war.
IILEOAD STRUCK,
Mr. B. S. Brown, treasurer of tlje Union Volun
teer Refreshment Saloon, claims to have ftrda the
first gun In Philadelphia In honor of the event, and
that all the firing In the lower part of the city was
done by him, and not by the Wavy Yard. He fired
36 guns. •
The residents in the southern! part of theolty, who
go to bed early In order io “getup Earlyinthe
morning,” were awakened from their first wink of
sleep about eleven o’clock last night by the continu
ous reports of the heavy guns at the Wavy Yard.
These were supposed to be the signal gu33 for a fire
In the navy yard, and thousands of people residing
In that section of the city were speedily astir. They
were gratified on learning that instead of the fire of
Uncle Samuel’s material, It was the fire of pa
triotism, just commencing to Maze In that loyal
part of Philadelphia. "Zee has surrendered, to
Grant !” ran through and among the people like an
electric stream, firing them to acts of exultation.
Soon alter the ponderous guns; at the Wavy Yard
belched forth the glad tidings there was a general
resort to smaller arms on the part of the people.
Swivels, shot-guns, and pistols were brought
Into requisition, and the joy became univer
sal. Everybody was awaiting the sound of the
State House bell; but it did not vibrate its
well-known tones. The fire companies, how
- ever, were taken out; the bells of the hese
carriages were rung; steam engines were fired
up, and to some extent the scenes of this day one
week ago were re-enacted. The Wecoacoe steamer
was taken to thß front of the old Southwark Hall,
and the whistle was made to play a patriotic tune.
Thousands of citizens congregated, and the greatest
manifestations of joy were rife among them. Soon
drums were beating in all parts of down town, and
at the midnight hour the fire of patriotic ardor burst
forth into what may be considered a general oonfia
gratlon. The response of the people was of a charac
ter that cannot be forgotten during the present gene
ration, and it will be treasured in the memory of ail
loyal oitlzens with grateful recollections.
THANKSGIVING MEETING AT THE VOLUN
TEER REFRESHMENT SALOON.
Yesterday afternoon quite a large concourse as
sembled in the main room of the Volunteer Refresh

the request and appointment of the Governor. Ad-,
dresses were made by the Rev. Daniel Washbume

The gooa work of the Saloon, in famishing rest,
