Death of Hon. Samuel Davis.
It becomes our painful duty to record the
death of one of the oldest and most useful citi
zens of our borough, HOK. S&MCEL DAVIS, who
departed this life, after a protracted illness, on
Saturday morning last. The life of Judge DA
VIS needs no eulogy, his death r.o elegiac lines ;
for his memory will be held sacred by all who
knew him truly. Deceased had lifted a number
of public positions; was at one time Treasurer
of the county, and at the time of his death, was
one of the "Associate Justice? of our court Ilis
remains were followed to the grave by a vast
concourse of people. May lie rest in peace"!
Capture of Richmond!
GREAT EXCITEMENT '
On Monday morning last the people of our
goodly town, were thrown into a paroxysm of
excitement by the news that Richmond, the long
besieged capital of the Southern Confederacy,
had fallen into the hands of the federal army.
At first the tidings were received cum grano sahs,
as Richmond had been taken on several former
occasions, and those who then indulged in dem
onstrations of joy, having found themselves
"slightly previous," concluded that this lime
they would not shout till they were clearly "out
of the woods." But, when the news was con
firmed, the population became boisteron., the
bells were rung, the "ear-piercing fife" shrieked
its shrill notes on the air; the thunders of the
rumbling drum reverberated throughout the
length and breadth of the village; the stars and
stripes were thrown to tire breeze and all was
joy and exultation. Of course, there was here
and there a gloomy countenance, the reflex of a
mind troubled with anxiety for a son or a bro
ther whose life may have been a part of the
price paid for the occasion of rejoicing. But
mey ought to know) that
none but "copperheads" looked serious on that
day; hence, we are inclined to believe that the
persons of the rueful visage did not wear their
air of sadness because of concern for their sol
dier friends, but only for the reason that they
were sorry that the capital of rebeldum had
fallen. For, of a verity, what is human life,
or love of kindred, or the most sacred tie that
binds us to earth or heaven, compared with the
success of the Federal arms? And why, then,
should any one be so great a fool as to think of
the few thousands slain, or the tens of thou
sands maimed, or of the widow and the orphan
and the desolate household ? But, the -'copper
heads," (confound them!) always mar the re
joicings of "us loyal people!" They either ex
press unbelief in the telegrams, or look gloomy
enough to bring a cloud over the brightness of
• our "beatific visions." Thus it was on the glo
rious occasion of last Monday. They would
all go so far as to say that Richmond and Pe
tersburg had been evacuated, and that both pla
ces were, doubtless, in possession of Gen.Grant:
but do you think they would believe John Cess
na (who never gets us any thing but reliable
news) when he announced that Jeff Davis and
Gen. Lee were captured? No, not even when
Gen. Grant's name was to the dispatch. Of
course, they were right about this; but they
have no business to be right, when they can't
be so without going contrary to our wishes and
feelings. They-ought to be—ashamed of them
selves, to say of it. But, nevermind.
Next time we'll catch Davis and Lee, and then
we'll make the "copperheads" swallow that pill,
too! A couple more drafts will do it. easily.
Till then, patience!

-• fiotae of the short-sighted opponents of the
Democratic party, imagine that its existence de
pends upon the success of the Southern revolu
tion. They forget that it was the inauguration
of that revolution which confirmed in the hands
of their own party the power which it had ob
tained by the votes of a minority of the people
of the Union. They forget that when the South
ern states seceded, twenty two Democratic Sena
tors were taken out of the 1\ S. Senate, and
some sixty Democratic members out of the low
er house of Congress. They forget that owing
to these facts, they have been able to hood-wink
a sufficient number of fools in the North into
the belief that the Democratic party is respon
sible for the southern revolution, to enable them
to carry elections in half a dozen doubtful states.
They forget that the war has given them engines
all powerful for the crushing of their political
opponents —a moneyed aristocracy, a system of
civil espionage, a vast army subject to their dic
tation, and unlimited means for corrupting the
people. Their three hundred thousand office
holders, each one, on an average, able to con
trol a half dozen votes, were alone capable of
giving them the two millions, one hundred thou
sand votes cast for Lincoln. Thus, it will be
seen, the revolution in the South, has enabled
tbem to hold power, winkt, per contra , it has
prevented the Democracy from" attaining it.—
Hence, it is plain that the sooner the war ends,
the better for the Democratic party. For just
so soon as the immense patronage attendant up
on its prosecution and the appliance of force for
the use of which the Southern revolution has
given the Administration a plausible excuse,
shall have fallen from the hands of the abolition
party, just so soon will that party sink beneath
the scorn and hatred of an outraged and well
nigh ruined people. Mark our words, the end
of the war, is the beginning of Democratic ascen

AHKAIIAM LINCOLN."
The long threatened advance of Grants ar
my lias at length been made. On Tuesday
last. Grant concentrated all his available troops
at Hatcher's liun, seven miles south of Peters
burg. the extreme left of his line. All the
white troops on the north side of the James
crosed over to the south bank, and the intrench
mcnts at Deep Rottom were left in charge of
the negro soldiers. In front of Petersburg and
along the Appomattox the Federal lines were
weakened, all the available troops being sent
to the left. Sheridan's cavalry and all the cav
alry which had before been in Grant's army,
were sent to Hatcher's Kun. On Tuesday
night Grant had a column of seventy thousand
in position to advance against the Southaide
railroad, which is seven miles west of the Fed
eral camp on Hatcher' 3 Run.
It was hoped that this sudden movement
would surprise the Confederates. Constant at
tacks were made during Monday and Tuesday
upon the Confederate works in front of Fort
Steadman. These were to cover the advance.
Grant's plan was to move his infantry west
from Hatcher's Kun, and endeavor to strike
the Southside railroad, at a point fifteen miles
southwest of Petersburg. Sheridan with the
cavalry was to make a detour farther to the
southward; pass through Dinwiddie Court
House, thirteen miles south of Petersburg, and
endeavor to cut the railroad at Hurkesville,
thirty miles west of Petersburg, where it joins
the Richmond and Lynchburg railroad. The
columns moved forward at three o'clock on
Wednesday morning. Hatcher's Run was
| crossed without any oppsition from the Confed
erates. Sheridan marched south towards Din
widdie Court House, and it is reported he
reached that place by noon on Wednesday.
As Sheridan however, at once cut himseif loose
from the rest of the Federal army, and has no
communication with City Point, there has been
no authentic information from him since he
left Hatcher's Run.
The Federal infantry columns turned west
ward from Hatches Run towards the South
side railroad. It began to rain almost as soon
as they started. The Confederate pickets were
found two miles from Hatcher's Run, and five
miles east of the railroad. These pickets were
driven a mile and fell back to a strong line of
Confederate works, four miles from the rail
road. The rain continued and grew more
heavy. The Confederates had discovered Grant's
movement and hurried forward reinforcements.
The Federal advance was checked; fighting bc
ban;" repeated charges were made to break the
Confederate line: the charges were repulsed;
one Federal division lost four hundred men;
and on Thursday morning the Federal colur n
was still checked by the Confederates. Twen
ty-four hours, marching had advanced it but
two miles, and everything that happened after
Thursday morning is involved in the greatest
mystery. Announcements of heavy and con
tinuous rains are all that we receive from City
Point.
Ou Wednesday night an artillery bat tie be
ga" in front of Fort Stcadman at Petersburg.
Heavy cannonading continued until two o'clock
on Thursday morning. Our intelligence from
there closed at two o'clock, and we knownoth
[ ing of what happened afterwards,
j The Federal troops have evacuated East
i port, Huntsville, Decatur, Dalton, and all their
posts in Northern Alabam and Georgia. There
are now no Federal troops south of Chatta
nooga.
The Confederates made a raid on the Balti
more and Ohio railroad, near Cumberland, on
Thursday night; captured and burned a pas
senger train, and escaped.— Age.

Success of the 7-30 Loan.
Our readers will notice that subscriptions to
the popular 7-30 Loan are still continued in the
most liberal manner. To the Old World the
success of these Peoples' Loans is one of the
wonders of a Republic. The Government does
not seek to borrow in foreign markets; it offers
no premiums to bankers, but appeals directly
to the people, and with what success is suffi
ciently shown by the faet that during /orty
three dags they subscribed and paid the cash
down for one hundred and sixig-one million
dollars of the 7-30 Loan. There can be no
stronger evidence of public confidence in Gov
ernment securities. While nearly all other
stocks have gone down from twenty to fifty,
and even a greater per cent within a few weeks,
all forms of U. K. bonds and stocks ha%e re
mained firm except the slight fluctuations that
are incident to all rapid changes in the money
market. Our readers wil! remember that the
subscribers lo the 7-30 Loan receive semi-an
nual interest at the rate of seven and three
tenths per cent, per annum in currency, and
at the end of three years from June 15th, 1805,
they will have the option of receiving payment
in full, or converting their notes into a 5-20
six per cent, gold interest bond. The late great
decline in the premium on gold makes these
notes more desirable than ever as an invest
ment, and it should not be forgotten that their
exemption from state or municipal taxation
adds largely to their value. There is no inter
ruption in the receipt of subscriptions or the
delivery of the notes. All banks, bankers, and
others acting as Loan Agents, will pay subscri
bers the interest in advance from the day of
subscription until June 15th.
JUSTICES ELKOT. —By the Act of Assembly,
those persons recently elected to the office of
Justice of the Feaec, are required to notify
the l'rothonotary within thirty days of their
acceptance. This has been done ; n but a few

that I can inform the Governor and obtain the

"PEACE."
The following is an extract from Greely'sj
! peace articles in the Tribune , of the 20th inst:
"We are confident that the rebellion is crush
ed, and further bloodshed needless. Only let i
President Lincoln evince an earnest desire that
the war shall now end —let him appeal to the
people of the South to stay this useless, waste
ful effusion cf blood and throw herself on the
clemency of the country, and we firmly be
lieve that the next thirty days may sec the close i
of the war."
This means that the Abolition party shall
| get ready to veer around, as soon as the war
j closes, take possession of the peace platform,
| and then curse the war into ignominy—all to
| IKS on the popular side. Following up the Tn
i btine, the Washington Chronicle says:
| "In our judgment, the only way to attain
: these results is by the exercise of a wise and
I liberal policy towards the southern people. Ihe
! spirit of revenge must have no place in our
j treatment of them. Luckily, policy and ex-
I pediency call for the exercise of magnanimity
' and liberty. Cupidity and crnelty may demand
indiscriminate confiscations an l relentless per
secutions ; hut a wise and humane Government
will turn a deaf ear to such counsels. In no
other way can the country escape all the hor
rors of a protracted financial revulsion. Ex
pediency and duty are always in harmony, but
it is often in human affairs that the parallel is
so unmistakable."
