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 theaȣ.
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

been led to believe that when the Yankee army

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

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

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.

Yesterday afternoon I strolled through Castle

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

The u Black Holes” of Blchmottd.
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.

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:

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

'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

a belief that a return to the rood old times could not he
lons delayed* The thousands and hundreds of thou
sand e who were taraed out of employment by the war
readily enlisted in defence of the flag under which they
had lived to happily together, and never did a people
show such devotion- to country* or so willingly assume
the responsibilities which the war imposed/ .The mills
and furnaces didnot remain long doied. 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. So progresses the great loan of the
people. Even in the heart of the * * Old Dominion * 1 are
the bands of* Uncle Sam sought after with avidity.

To JAe Editor of The Pan:
Rio ■ Naticlßir In soar paper several very aWe,
atlclM mtneßOb“otrfthe hlghprlMß ofmarfe,t
fn k, I am lnd e eed to offer for the beneflt of my aur
ferina fellow-oitlzoHS a row words open a subject so
Slating to US *U. TM “Pt
utied in every case where It appeared that an,un
reasonable price was asked lor any article sold by
botchers or other market people, was simply to fle
oline buying at all, or to bny in a much l«Bs;qoan
tny than X first designed. 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. Of course,
eo long as people are weak,mlnded enough to allow
themselves to be Imposed upon, so long will the spe
culators and middlemen fleeqe them. „
The remedy Is In the hands of the people; It they
do not apply It they shoold cease to gnpoibig.
