Hall op Ooßaßßaa, Richmond, April 6,1865, Tie exultation of tie loyal people of tile olty, who, amid tire Infamy by which they have been sur rounded, and the foul misrepresentations to allure them from their allegiance, have remained true to the old flag, is still-being expressed by thelmost ex travagant demonstrations of joy. Tin Uhfpn ele* . mentfn this city ocnslsts of negtoes and pooj whites, Including all that have deserted from the army, or have survived the terrible exigencies whiobl thought starvation to so many homes. As to the Jjftgroeß, one thing Is certain; that amid every disaster to our arms, amid the wrongs which they dally [ suffered for their known love for the Union, and aml4 the ' scourging which they received for trying to reach onr army and enlist under our flag, they have ever prayed for the right oanse, and testified the’t? devo tion to It In ten thousand Instances, and especially In aiding our esoaped prisoners to find our ijuer', ‘when to do soplaoed their own lives In peril. / Th a great event alter the capture of the cltyTagge : the arrival of President Lincoln In It. He oaupPufp! to Rochet’s wharf In one' of Admiral Porter’scvp*. sols of war, and, with a me of s&ilors for a guan |f - honor, he walked up to Jeff Davlß’ house, the hfyL quarters of General Weltzel. As soon sis he lai|B®t ; the news sped, as If upon the wings of llghV nlng, that “ Old Abe,” for It waß treason In thlsmty to give him a more respectful address, had co%». Some of the negroes, feeling themselves free to !Act. like men, shouted that the President had arriCffi This name having always been applied to Jeff, (the; Inhabitants, coupling It with the prevailing rumor that he had been captured, reported that thea»£. traitor was being brought Into the olty.; Asfh* people pressed near they cried “Hang hlnm: “Hang him!” “Show him no quarter!” ud other similar expressions, whloh indicated tlftlr sentiments as to what should be his fate. Ijrf.- when they learned that It was President Ljni coin their joy know no bounds. By" the tlmebC reached General Weltzql’s headquarters, thouem®® of persons had followed him to oatoh a sight of tha Chief Magistrate of the United States. When lj* ascended the steps he faced the orowd and bowed-,, his thanks for the prolonged exultation which w|s.. going np from that great ooncourse. The peopte seemed Inspired by this acknowledgment, and wlrn. renewed vigor shouted louder and louder; untU lt seemed aB If the echoes would reach the abode iff, those patriot Bplrils who had died without wltnosip ing the sight. jk General Weltzel received the President upon the-- pavement, and conducted him up the steps. GenOr ral Shepley, after a good deal of trouble; got the orowd quiet and Introduced Admiral Porter, who • bowed his acknowledgments for the cheering with which his name was greeted. The President and party entered the mansion, where they remained.. ‘ for half an hour, the crowd still accumulating,' around It, when a headquarters’ carriage was! brought In front, drawn by foul horses, and Mr. ; Lincoln, with his youngest son, Admiral Porter, General Kautz, and General Devans entered. The ! carriage -drove through the principal streets, followed by General Weltzel and staff on horse- ■ back, and a cavalry guard. There is no describing ■ the scene along the route. The colored population- - was wild wf4h enthusiasm. Old men thanked God’.; In a fery boisterous manner, and old women shouted ; upon the pavement as high as theyhad ever done \ at a religious revival., But when the President ; passed through the Capitol yard It was filled with - people. Washington’s monument and the Oapltol steps were one. mass of humanity to oatoh a glimpse of him. J&. • It should .fpieooraed that the Malvern, Admiral Porter’s flag-ship, upon which the President oame; the Bat, MontleeUo, Frolic, and the Symbol, the torpedo-boat .which led the advance and exploded these Infernal machines, were the first vessels to arrive in Richmond. Nothing can exceed the courtesy and politeness which the whites everywhere manifest to the negroeß. Not even the familiarity peculiar to Americans Is indulged In, calling the blacks by their first or Christian names, bnt even masters are addressing their slaves as “ Mr. Johnson,” “Mrs. Brown,” antf“BflSs Smith.” A cordial shake of the hand and a gentle inclination of the body, approach, ingto respectful consideration, are evident in the greetings which now take place between the op*' pressed and the oppressor. ' ' ,| Masters are looking through the camps of otu colored troops to find some of their fSrmer slaves'to give them a good character. The first night our troops quartered In the city this scene was enacted In Gen. Draper’s brigade Smite, his being the first organi zation to enter the city. His troops now hold the inner lines of works. The rapid occupation of the city cut off the retreat of many rebels, whoare dally being picked up by the provost guard. Every one declares that Biohmond never before presented such a spectacle of jubilee, ft'must be confessed that those who participated in this Inform mat reception of the President were mainly negroes. There were many whites In the crowd, but they, were lost In the great concourse of American cltl zees of African descent. Those who lived In the finest houses either stood motionless upon their steps or merely peeped through the window-blinds, with a very few exceptions.' The Seoesh Inhabitants still have some hope for their tumbling cause. The scenes at the Gapltol during the day are of a very exciting character. The offices of General Shepley, the-Military Governor, and Colonel Morn ing, the Provost Marshal General, are besieged by crowds, mostly poor people, with a small sprinkling of respectability, upon every kind of pretext. They want protection papers, a guard over their proper ty, to assurer the authorities'of their alleglanoe, to take the oath, to announce that they are paroled prisoners and never have been exchanged, and don’t desire £o be, and innumerable other circum stances to insure the protection of the military au thorities. 1 ' JBIQIB TOR CASH. nsr KELL'S* BTBBM,.

The Capitol building all day yesterday from the membnt we took possession was surrounded by a crowd of hungry men and women clamoring for something to eat. The earnestness of their entrea ties and looks showed that they were In a destitute condition.- It was deemed necessary to station a special guard at the bottom of tbe steps to keep them from filling the building. These suffering people will .probably be attended to In a day or so In that bountiful manner which has marked thead vanoe of the Union armies. I ylslted yesterday (Tuesday) several of the Jlaye jails, where men, women, and children were con fined, or herded, for the examination of purchasers. The jailors were in all cases slaves, and had been left In undisputed possession of the buildings. The owners, as soon as they were aware that we were coming, opened wide the doors and told the con fined Inmates they were free. The poor souls could not realize It until they saw the Union army. Even then they thought It must be a pleasant dream, but when they saw Abraham Lincoln they were satis fied that their freedom was perpetual. One enthu siastic old negro woman exclaimed: “ I know that I am free, for I have seen Father Abraham and felt him.” itreet. [1 SHADE 8. Hhe city at the !TBSED. When the President returned to the flag-ship of Admiral Porter, In the evening, he was taken from. the wharf In a cutter. Just as he pushed off, amid_ the cheering of the crowd, another good old colored' female shouted out, “Don't drown Massa Abe, for God’s sake'.” . - WHOLE. The fire, which was nearly extinguished when I closed my last despatch, Is entirely go aow. Thou sands of persons are gazing hourly with Indignation upon the ruins. Gen. Lee ordered the evacuation of the clty-at an hour known to the remaining lead ers of the rebellion, when Gens. Ewell and Breck inridge, and'others, absconded, leaving orders with menials, robbers, and plunderers, kept together du ring tho war by the “ cohesive power or public plunder,” to apply tbe torch tothedlfferent tobacco warehouses, public buildings, arsenals, stores, flour mills, powder magazines, and every important place of deposit. A south wind prevailed, and the flames spread; with devastating effect. The afilces of the newspapers, whose columns had been charged with the foulest vituperation against our Government, were on fire 5 two of them have been reduced to sshes, another one injured beyond repair, while the remaining two are not much damaged. Every bank which had emitted the spurious notes of the rebels was consumed to ruins. Churches no longer gave audience to empty prayers, but burst forth In (uncus flames. Magazines exploded, killing the poor inhabitants. In Bhort, Secession was burnt out, and the olty purified as far aB fire could accom plnh it. As I Informed you in a previous despatch, the Union soldiers united with the citizens to stay the progress of the fire, and at last succeeded, bat not until all the business part of tbo town was destroyed. About three o’clock on Monday morning the poll deal prisoners who were oonfined In Castle Thun der, and the Union prisoners who were in Libby, were marched out and driven off. Some of our of det rs escaped and were kindly caTedfor by the good tjnion folks of this oily. The rebels also gathered tog ether as many colored persons as possible, and were forcing them ahead with drawn sabres, but be ore they were ontof the city Spear’s cavalry came down upon them, rescued the negroes, and captured seventeen of the Johnnies, with their horses.- loodl. „ GLASS fk. priT*t* ■£S» of a i* BHOF HOMtß marally, VIALS 'Sm Yesterday afternoon I strolled through Castle Thunder, where so many Union men have suffered every species ofmeanness and tyranny which the rebels could Invent. The only thing that attracted especial attention was the.largenumber of manacles which were for the benefit of the prisoners. This place has been so often described, that it would be unnecessary to weary the reaaer again. The Castle Ib empty at present, and is In charge of Oapt.

Quite a large number of rebels were brought Into the city last night. I did not for a cortalnty learn whether they were captured, or deserted from a bad Cause—most probably the latter. Lieut. Gen.

Richmond, April 9,1865 The exoltement attending the occupation of this efty by Hie Union army is gradually subsiding, and places of business are beginning to be opened. The provost marshal’s office is still thronged by crowds oi persons to avail themselves of the proteo tlon.ofthc authorities and various purposes of bßßl nesß. It requires the utmost efforts of the guards to keep a passage open that officers may pass In and out 'or the State House. General Shepley, military governor of B lohmond, Is almost exhausted, by receiving and attending to the .business of the hundreds and thousands who; dally are pressing to see him.

The cotton waß dis tributed throughout tho olty In cellars, garrets, and warehouses, where It could not have been burned without destroying tho olty. It had not been sent off by railroad previous to tie cutting or road, be cause railroad transportation was monopolized for removal of ordnance,-commissary, and other Im portant Government stores From the onttlng of the roads to evacuation of the city (twelve days) every man was required to work on the lines, and every wagon, dray, and oart that oould be Impressed was needed to keep the troops- (in a line twelve miles -long) supplied withordnanoeandcommissary stores.

The Black Hole of Calcutta has earned a pre scriptive historical right to the title of the most atrocious prison to which human fiends ever sen tenced their helpless fellow-oreaturcs. Richmond, however, will henceforward claim the right of sup* plying a couple of corresponding plaoes of torture to those In which the Hindoos stowed their Euro pean prisoners. We take from the correspondence of the New York World, a journal which few of our readers will suspect of very powerful Union preju. dices, the following frightful description of. Castle Thunder and the Libby Prison: REBEL LOVE EOR MOT* DAVIS. The rebel prisoners now in tbe Libby keep the officers bußy with taking theeath of allegiance. They swear ronndly at Jeff Davis, pitch Into Ewell with Indignation and sarcasms, and say. they hope, according to the late report, that ha Is cap “ Where is Jeff to-dayl” shouted a prisoner on the root to one of a orowd of prisoners, deserters, and stragglers from Lee’s retreating army, waiting t 0“ Jeff be d d; if the Yanks catoli him 1 hope they will string him up for a d d deserter.” “ I say hang him too,” yelled a voioe from among ihe prisoners. “ A man that 'will go back on Vir ginia ain’t no President for me.” *THE LIBBY. The horrors of the Libby are not yet wholly past; it Is a horrible place even now. Not a few of our officers and men confined there at different periods during the war have visited it Blnce, to reoali a se ries ot shuddering experiences In the presence of kindred facts. Its arrangements are all simple. A child could find Its way through the building with out foElng itself—a square three-storied brick ware house, with a low conical roof, tho Interior divided into very large barn-like apartments for tbe aooom* modation of large companies. That is not quite all, tor these apartments are so peonllar in some respects that the word barn is not quite significant. A bam, if it is a respectable bun, Is usually dean; air is generally let Into It: its ceilings are high; It is pleasant to stroll into It to watoh the cattle at their feed, to throw one’s self upon the fra grant bay, to sink Into a reverie with a wisp of vraßß between one’s lips, to sleep, “ perchance to dream”—in all these regards a bam has an advan tage over the Libby; for the Llbbv is neither dean nor well ventilated, nor are Its odlings high, nor Is it pleasant in any degree whatever. Its exterior alone is so stolid and cheerless as to oause affin voluntary stoking of the heart. It looks Use a great cruel cage, as it Is. The windows are small, narrow, and.closely barred. The walls are battered, and uul ruins and broken-down shanties surround It. At a distance the canal runs behind It. The guards there, delightfully sportsmanlike creatures, who kept watoh lor a “pop” at the miserable wretches who were so unfortunate as to appear at the windows, had a goodly space to patrol abont all the four sides—a dull walk, certainly. They needed tbestlsinlus of an oeeaslonal shot to keep up spirits which otherwise would certainly have flagged. The interior of the Libby now—according to a charming poetical justice, well stocked with rebel prisoners— lb, while not half as bad as it was, still very bad. The scrubbing-brush, whloh has been diligently used by the pleased “Johnnies” since their confinement, has not yet sufficed to remove all the filth from the floors ana walls; the air, although plentifully admitted through all the windows, has cot jet gotten the upper hand of a certain lazar houee ouor which must bo smelt to be appreciated, but never to be described. The offices and cells ate on the first floor, the drawing-rooms ojr large apart ments before alluded to are above. The stairs are not of the most complete description, and are thlok Iy caked oyer with dirt—a beneficent contrivance tbo humane warden to prevent the prisoners’ fet't from slipping. The lazar-honse Stencil, as your head {emerges above the level of the next floor, produces a revolutionary action at the pit of the stomach which is simply disgusting and horrible. The sink, open and reeking, stands at one end or this, as in the room, above. Tjfce floor around is a pnddie of liquid filthy the rebel prisoners, who are strewnaiong the remainder of the floor, across the entire breadth of the,warehouse, asleep, sitting and • standing, will tell you that, notwithstanding the frequent sweepings, Sea., whioh the .place has .re ceived, the cracks Between the planks and next the ■.wall are still a refnge for vermin.: Above them is ftbe same spectaole in each of. the rooms. A parti tion divides the prison, which was formerly a tobac co-.warehouse, into two apartments on both floors. lea ving Richmond proper, and descending Into the Squalid portion if the town known as Kocketts, obb sees among the many large warehouses a cer tain one more irregular than the rCBt. An aaehway leads into It, and upon the outside of the seeond story windows runs a long ledge or footway, where upon sentries need to’stride This Is the jail of Castle Thunder, the civil or State prison of the ospltal. . 11l as were the acooutmodatJans of pri soners of war, the treatment 'of their own citizens by the rebel Government was ten times mom to famous, its atrocious tyranny here-lashed, chained,. handcuffed, tortured, Bhot, and hung hundreds of people whom it could not stultify or Impress, The terrible testimony of this Castle Thunder is an ever lasting stigma upon the: Southern cause. Iu the new Commandant’s room, lay the record left behind by the Coniederates. Its pages made one shudder. These are two of Its Infamous entries: “ George Barton—giving lood to FederalprlsouMSa ofwar^; - notw^ 1 eh am lashes a day. - , In anlnnerroom jtre somefifty-pairs of bglls and ; chalne wlth aßklsK.aud handouffa.

TJp. stairs, In Castle Thunder; there are two or three large rooms, barred, and dimly lit, and’ two or three series of condemned cells, pent up and pltohy, where, by a refinement Of'cruelty, the cell ing bas-been built low so that no man can stand-up right. Here fifteen or twenty were crowded together, and in the burning atmosphere they stripped'them selves stark naked, so that when In the morning - the eeU-doorswefe opened they.came forth aa irpm thegrave, begging for death. - There ate Women’s cells, too; for this great and yallant government . reoognised' women as belligerents; and locked them np close toasentry’s oarcrldge,sothat ln ; the bitter ness of solltude they were unsized, and railed and blaepbemed like wanton things;- The; pajvemente' before the jail were trodden by remorseless guards;-' who shot at every rag finttfering from the edges, and all this little olrele of doath ; ln-Ufe was enacted close to the light river and under the cover of that Capi tol where erimlbal treason held the sinews of war to wring from a reluctant Union an arrogant Inde pendence. . , ■ .. , FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ■We hay# pasted the crisis of,our history.

The tunender of .General Lee virtually 'ends, the rebellion aaainst the Government, and itl«, fitting to speculate oh the future, The Outhraakof the war brought with it, for-the time, a universal stagna tion,of the industry of the naHon. Fifty year* of com parative peace had so forint d the national habits that a change of the usual vocations of the people from a peace to a war footing almost stopped the wheels of commerce .and threatened for a while the direst calaml tU’R. - The furhaeee, mills, and work-shops of the land Which had given employment and high wages to thou sands of frmllles, and upon which we had built our TBBrfHOLJt, Senatorial prosperity, were obliged suddenly to dose their doors and quench their fires. There was no longer,a-demand for our peaceful Industry, and our ships were about rofting at the wharves because no cargoes could be farniahed for iheir yoyages The vjjfru!*ers"o'f the'rebellion confronted our merchants’ Stosels.upon we saw with no little re grrt that thdfrTSae WMeh Kad nouriahed the heart of the nation triegradually fahing Into the hands of Eng lish merchants, and that the American: mercantile marine, under the etteumstances, was fast becoming a thing of thip past.

Theappli* Alices of war, to which we had hitherto been strangers, were now to he manufactured, and In such abundance, iro, that the old timed pytsperlty soon returned. Emi gration filled np tht chasms which enlistment# had pro duced, and the wheel# of trade were once more set in motion, and have since then been constantly revolving. A new demand for every article of manufacture now 'developed itself* and, contrary to the predictions of many over-zealous friends of the South* the g.a*s did not grow in the streets of New York, but,on the contra jy, that city and all her sister cities of the Earth. exhi bited a degree of material prosperity which under the circumßtancesds unparalleled in history. True, a huge debt was Tolled up that it will doubtless' take many years to liquidate, and the currency of the Government was Issued to an extent that greatly raised the prices of all the necessaries of life. The credit of the United States was greatly shaken in the estimation of for eigners* as witness the fact that for a long time, the rebel loan sold at. the Xiondon stock boards at par, while the Federal loan was drooping at about one-half its real value- These things, however, did not bring despair to the upholder* of theJfation&l cause. They willingly accepted debt, taxes, loans* and a depreciated currency, firm in the belief tbat the day of redemption would approach, when our enemies in England would be the losers by the aid and sympathy which financially, and in other respsets, they had given to the rebel cause. Xn our four yean of war we have accumulated a, debt that appears in the ejesof England and France to be beyond the power of the American people to get rid of, and which wa ourselves, a short time ago, would have considered astounding. But who amongst us entertains now a fear that the Untied States will not fattnfutiy and entirely meet all the obligations which have been issued from the Trea sury Uepaziment since Mr. Buchanan’s exit from offica? The United States has proved itself equal to a greater - emergency thin this, and no mho* except an avowed enemy, entertains a thought of repudiation on the part of the Federal Government, or dares to expresathat it will not be able to come out of the present struggle as gloriously in a financial point of view ai it has in the military. Yesterday was devoted eniiiely to rejoicings over the surrender of Lei’s army. Business was entirely sus pended , and the few .sales at the stock boards, which we append, are scarcely to be considered a criterion of prices. 7he news is received among all moneyed men with unalloyed pleature, and though the fall of gold which it occasioned may bring serious losses tosome»the lostes are Willingly borne in the view of the greater good to the greater number: The subscriptions to the seven thirty loan received by day Cooke, yesterday, amounted to s2,B7i,6so,.'including one of $400,000 from Slew York* one of $130,000 from' Beemolnes*lowa, and one of s2oo,ooofrom Norfolk, Vir ginia There-were 2.011 individual tubseripttons of and $lOO each.

Experience has oonvlnesi me that my plan is ja good one, and that so far froinany harm resulting from our eating less.meat, my {.family as well as myself are aotuauy bet ter off In every way than wo would ba, lr, as In times past, we made beef or mutton the chief article ol diet. Whenever these articles fall in price we shall wap the benefit In two ways, as. our con sumption will be smaller and the price less. If every housekeeper will only determine in hfa mind not to give over what he feels to be a reasonable price tor io leading articles—say beef, mutton, and batter— and then resolutely adhere to the stand taken for a few, weeks, the whole evil will bo cared.
