END OP Tlfß REBELLION-!
Thank. God 1 the fearful and bloody rebel
lion that has desolated our land for over fiiur
long ycni*s, costing, OS ’it did, hundreds'of
thousands of livcs.’ahd thousands of millions
of treasure, is, so far ns f fighting is concerned,
over. By roforence lb ohr war intelligence,
jit will be seen that General Lee made an un
conditional surrender of his men and arms,
to General Grant on thesth inst. Tlirs ends
the rebellion—-ends if too with a whole ilnion,
and the werds f ‘ifhank'*G6d 1” leap from the
mouth■astholrearl'Swells with gratitude to
an all-wise Providence.
The conditions of surrender proposed by
Qencral’GsANT to General Lee, were such i.s
the people had a right to’expect'from a mag
nanimous’victor, and do ’credit to the head
and heart of the commander of the Union far'
oee. They were promptly accepted by Gen.
Lee, who surrendered at once, and with ns
good a grace as possible.
And mow for peace, "with the Stars and
Stripes once more acknowledged throughout
the length and breadth if our vast territory
Lit statesmanship now be called .into requi
sition—let passion and politics be forgotten
for the time, and let our good and great men
go to work in earnest to assist in restoring
the authority of the Government in all parts
of the land, so that .ponce and good-will may
lake the place >of fanaticism, rebellion and
confusion. The crisis demands the best ef
forts of our best men, and when they assem
ble together Tor ’consultation, may their de
liberations be assisted by a just God, and may
■their conclusions -meet the endorsement of a
severely chastened people.
TUB TIPPLE REJOICING.
On Monday morning, after tho telegraph
had announced the glorious nows of the sur
render of General Lee and his army, the
Chief Burgess of Carlisle, John "Campbell.
Esq., caljed a meeting of the citizens of the
town and vicinity, at Rheom’s Hall, at 11
o’clock, for the purpose of rejoicing together
‘and to make -arrangements far celebrating,
tho groat event. Mr. UaurffGLi, briefly sta
ted the object of tho meeting, after which it
was organized by the selection of tho follow
ing named gentlemen as officers:
■President —AVili/ia 1 ?! 11. Mxi.it,ek, Esq.
Vice Presidents—Wm. R. Mullin, Jacob.
Rhoads, John McGinnis, John B. Bratton,
and Hon. Hugh Stuart.
Secretaries— Capt. E. Beatty, J. AV. Ogilby.
After being thus organized, Mr. Miller
delivered n short, but eloquent and patriotia
address, which was loudly applauded by the
Earge assemblage. lie was followed by
Messrs. Todd, Henderson and Sharpe, all of
whom delivered stirring speeches, short but
•pithy, and well suited for the occasion. Af
ter tbo speaking had been concluded, It wan
suggested that tire-crowd should join in a Na
tional song, and George Zink, Esq., was ap
pointed to load the singing. Mr. Z., as
sisted by Messrs. John Rheem, Kieffer, Ma- |
sonhoimer, Turner and Williams, then sang
the “ Star Spangled Banner” vjjth most ex
•eellent effeot, and to the great .gratification of
the meeting.
A motion was then made by Capt. Beatty,
that a Committee of nine citizens be appoint
ed to make arrangements for celebrating our
recent victories and the surrender of Bee’s
army. The chair, i® icomplianoe with the
motion, appointed- Mestrs B. Beatty,. John.
Campbell, John B. Bratton, E. Cornman,
•Gen. G. W. Bowman, Rev. F, J. Olero, E.
M. Biddlo, J. W. Ogilby, and S. D. Hillman •
said Committee.
The meeting then gave threeronsing'eheerß
for General Grant, three for his army of
braves, and three for the Union, and dispersed
in the very best possible humor. A good feel
ing prevailed throughout; men of both par
ties ebook hands cordially as the tear of joy
stood tembling in their eyes. Every one pre
sent once more felt that to be an American
citizen was something to bo proud of, and he
felt too that this Government is to stand and
its sacred name preserved to generations yoc
unborn.
Cleaning the Streets. —Our present
Street Commissioner has been busy, since the
day of his appointment, in having the streets
of the town scraped, and the filth and man
ure that had accumulated hauled away. This
is right. By the way, all our present Town
officers appear determined to discharge their
duties faithfully. AVe are glad the Council
has boon so fortunate in the selection of good,
reliable officers.
Just the Tire.— Since the Ist of January
we have added some 50 new names as'sub
soribers to the. Volunteer. This is right; and
we might just add that now is a good time to
subscribe. Young persona going to house
keeping and others moving into our county
will find the Volunteer an article they ought
to have. Its Democracy is of the old fash
ioned style, and all true Democrats will find
it Just the county paper they ought to have
in their families. The Volunteer seeks to
stand by the interests of the people. The
people will therefore promote their interots
by standing by it.
The Grain Prospect. —The grain fields
in this valley present a beautiful and prom
ising appearance, and the prospect for a
heavy crop was never bettor at this season
of the year.
The Fruit Crop. —It has been along time
since we had a good fruit crop, but; judging
from the bursting blossoms on the apple,
peach, cherry and apricot trees, the yield
this year will be an old fashioned one. We
hope our expectations may be realized.
Tveer’s Patent Water Wheel,—Atten
tion is invited to the advertisement of this
Water Wheel, in to-day’s paper. One of
these wheels may now bo seen at Gardner
& Co’s, establishment, East Main Street.
O” We have yielded the most of oar space
to day to war intelligence, which, considering
its character, is auout the only news our.
readers will care about reading.
KT’Wo are- requested to state that the
Carlisle Deposit and First National Banks
will be closed to-day (Thursday).

-Success of the 7-30 Loan. —
Will notice that subscriptions to tbo popular

seek to bflrtnw in foreign niarkots; it offers
no ptonhdms to bankers, but appeals directly
thoipooplo, and with what success is suffi
-cieutly shown by tlio fact that during,/br/y
-fierce days they subscribed and paid the cash
down for one hundred and sixty-one vtillion
dollars of the 7-30 Loan. There can bo 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 cerit.. within a few
'Weeks, tJLfijrms of U. "S. bonds and stocks
have‘re named firm except the slight fluctua
tions that are incident ip allfapid changes
in the money market/ Our readers will re
member that the subscribers to the 7-30 Lot'll
receive semi-annual interest at the rate of
seVen and three-tenths per 'Cent, per annum
in.currency, and at the end of three yems
from Juno loth, 1805, they will have the op
ifc’on pf receiving payment in full, or conver g
ing their notes into a 5-20 six per cent, gold
interest bond. The late great decline in the
premium on gold makes these notes moroifto-
than over ns an investment, and it
should notho forgotten that their exemption
from state or municipial taxation adds large
ly to their value. There la no interruption
in the receipt of subscriptions or the delivery
of the notes. All banks, bankers, and oth
ers acting as Loan Agents, will pay subscri
bers the ’interest in advance from tbo day of

There was one black cloud at Richmond
yesterday that did not make tho hearts of the
people sad, viz: tho entrance of tho colored
regiment with tho lightnings of the old flog
dancing over their heads, and the thunders
of “ John Brown” rolling from their lips.—
Forney’s Tress. o
Before “John Brown” made his memor
able descent on Harper’s ferry, he and his
fellow-traitors organized a “ Provisional Gov
ernment'for fire United States.” flic prop
erty he captured at Harper’s Berry was tho
property of tho United States. The force
sent by President Buchanan to ratako that
property carried the (lag of tho United States.
Tho marines killed and wounded in "captur
ing Brown wore tho uniform of the United
States. They were commanded by Rodeui
E; Lee, who was then n colonel in the army
of the United States.
Why is it that tho negro-troops now in fire |
service of our gl?Vernmont are permitted to
enter Richmond with “ tho thunders of John
Frown rolling from their lips ?” Did Brown
do a .meritorious and' patriotic thing when"
ho killed tho marines, captured the property
and tried to overthrow tiro government of the
United States? If AnnAiiAM LiNtMr.N says
yes , then he Is ns groat a traitor ns Uavis. —
If ho says no, then let him see to it that the
scandalous song of “ John Brown” is hot
again blubborered under his very nose by
thick-lipped negroes in tho pay of the United
States.
We have been waiting in Vain to hear
what the “ loyal” clergy of the land would j
have to say about the Vice-President for
whose election they labored so diligently last
Tall. They abused and vilified tho refined
and dignified Pendleton without stint- and;
yet they have not a word to say about tho
disgraceful exhibition Andrew Johnson
made of himself, in the Senate Chamber, on
the Fourth of March. They ought at least
to pray for tho Vice President, or'ho may
soon heprst praying for. As little faith fie
wo have in the prayers of political parsons,
we do not think they would do Andt John
son any bam. His ease ought to be able to
stand a good deal of that sort el thing,
Fashion. —What in the’ world nre the wom
en coming to.in the way of fashion ? In the
matter of bonnets, they jump from the high
three story sugar-scoop down to a little
trimmed diamond-shaped patch drawn down
loose to the head, so as to permit “ extra
hair" to be worn at the back of the head.—;
The latest hall drosses of the Persian ladies
almost equal the Georgian costume of a shirt
collar and a pair of spurs. A French editor
snys that the ladies arc almost attired like
the natives in South America—with nothing
but a necklace.
C3T Some nine years ago, Mrs. Henry
Spencer, of Bethlom, Conn., lost her podket
book containing between $BOO and $7OO in
uotfe and bills while shopping in AYatorbury
and nothing was over heard from it until a
few days ago when she received a letter from
a Catholic priest in Oil City Pa,- requesting
her,to describe the lost property which she'
did. She was soon after rejoiced to have it re
turned, just as it was lost, excepting that a
portion of the bills had been changed to
greenbacks.
id®* The famous Seminole Chief Osceola
was buried in Fort Moultrie, Charleston Har
bor. A proas correspondent, who recently
visited the place, writes; “ Inside of Fort
Moultrie is Osceola’s grave, a plain slab of
marble with an iron rail fence. Everything
around it had been knocked to pieces by our
shells, but not one had touched it, or even
dipped the flowers around his grave. The
inscription on it was; ‘To the memory of
Osceola, Indian Chieftain, died in Moultrie,
1838.’ ”
What will copperheads say now?—
was the exultant question of some of the ig
norant bigots in this town, when the news of,
the fall of Richmond was announced. We
don’t know what the -copperheads will say,
but wo know what the Democrats will do— nut
youi contemptible faction out of power at the
first election after the war is over. What
will you say then f
ICT" The American skater, Jackson Hayn
es, at St. Petersburg, gave an exhibition of
bis prowess on the 24th ult., which drew
him in 1, 500 roubles. One of his moat dar
ing feats is to lean backwards, while skating
backwards, till bis hair touches the ice, and
then, without help, recover a perpendiculW
position.
They tell of a Western editor who has
made his pile—sloo,ooo—in oil. He should

Richmond, Va. t April 3, 1805. -1
This has been the most famous day in the
history of o«r armies since the coWiwronemont
of tho Rebellion, fur Richmond, the Gibralter
of the Confederacy, the 'contra of the Inst
hopes of Southern independence, tho apple of
discord for four Ipng'years, has fallen, and
our army is in full .possession' of the Rebel
capitol, with Its fortifications, heavy artillery
and defensive works, together with a consid
erable number of prisoners.
The Advance of Weifzel.
The movement which oulminoted so glori
ously Was commenced this morning about
snnriso, it having been ascertained during
the night by General Shepley, from a desert
er from Curtis Lee’s Rebel Division, that ho
(Lee) was quietly withdrawing bis troops
from our front,under tho ooVer o'f darkness.]
With such sooresy was tho movement on their
part executed that the first intimation their
own pickets had of it was tho order given
them to march from our front with the utmost
speed, caution and sileh e> General Shepley
being fully apprised of the importance oi tho
position Lee then held, and that his with
drawal would at once leave Richmond at the
mercy of our forces, communicated the fact
immediately to Major-General Weitfcel, in
command of the remaining Federal troops
north of tho James river. As might natur
ally be supposed, this opportunity was one
not to be lost eight of by n commander of
such military genius, energy and sagacity as
Godfrey WeiUel.
The Order of Advance.
U. S. GRANT.
Accordingly the movement before men
tioned was inaugurated in the following man
ner: The Third Division, Twenty-fourth
Corps, under command of General Charles
Devin, having sent out the Eighty-first Regi
ment New York Infantry as skirmishers, ad
vanced immediately beyond our breastworks
and took up a position on the New Market
Road. The column was soon formed and
ready to march towards the Rebel stronghold.
While the right was thus (brining the llth
Pennsylvania Cavalry took up its position on
the Darbytown Road, and the First Division,
Tweniy-fifth Corps, on the Osbea Rial.
This disposition being made the order to
advance was given, and the Division, at the
head of which wan the 208th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, under their gallant lender. Col.
Brady, finding nothing in their way sufficient
to impede their progress, dashed raj idly for
ward in the direction of Richmond.
Simultaneously the ad Vance was also made
by the other troops, on the roads before men»
tioned,.and in a short time the Whole army
had reached the Rebel capital, without the
discharge of a gun or the loss of a man.
The Formal Surrender
dVhen within about throe miles of Rich
mond, our advance was met by the Mayor of
the city, and it Was formally surrendered by
him to an officer of General Weitzel’s Staff.
On arriving at its limits the city was found
to be enveloped in flames, as well ns. the five
boats on the James River, three of which, it
is said, were iron-clad rams of immense
strength.
These had all been fired by order of Gen.
Ewell, prior to the Evacuation of the place,
together with those portions of the city Which
wore burning at the time of the occupation by
Weitzol’s forces. .

CitV or Richmond, Va„ April 3, 1865.
GenCral Order No. 1--This city now being
occupied by Federal forces, the officers of the
Firo Department and the police of the oily
will immediately report to thf Mayor’* room
for instigations,'for the purpose oDpreserving
property and order in thb.-6ity.. i ßy command
nf Major-General GnnfßF.v Weitzei..
Atherton 11. Stevens, jr, Major and Provost
Marshal, Twenty-fifth Army 'Corps. -
More Rebel ttarbaTism. i
But perhaps the most diabolical act of thOj
Rebel General was the explosion of the mb,;-l
nzinc, .which was situated in the immediate
vicinity nf tho Richmond Almshouse, nnd
against which it is said the citizens, bucked
dtp by Johri C. Brookirtridgo, the Rebel See- 1
rotary of War,'remonstrated, but,to no effect,
ns the General-asserted that such were Its
Orders. 1
An A tit of Ficnclisli Cruelly.
!Tho pioplosion took place st 5 o’clock tills,
morning, nnd involved a fearful loss of life.!
The inmates of the .Almshouse being una-,
ware of his hellish design, wore all quietly'
sleeping in their respective quarters at the
time of tho occurrence, and every of them
was instantly launched into eternity, their
bodies being mangled in 'l*, most shocking!
manner. The houses in this locality Were'
also shuttered, ep-thnt not a pane of glass ro
inuina tohosben in hny of them for a distnncei
of several squares from tho place where the
explosion occurred.
■Having thus completed his prclimitihrvi
nrnuigetltSnts for file reception of Wcilzei,
Gen. Ewell thinking thst it -would not bo
safe to.-remhin hero long enough 16 carry out|
hiß'onfbiro programme, which was doubtless 1
the destruction by fire of tho Whole city, boat
a hasty retreat across the James, with tho
demoralized remnant of his army, setting
firo to the bridges behind him, in order to
prevent pursuit by our forces, just ns our for
ces entered tho city so long disgraced by the
tyrannical misrule of the traittrous Confed
erate chieftain. ■ ' f •
Enthusiastic Welcome bycnvr Troops.
Upon tho approach of trtir troops to tho
city, tt'nd daring their entire march through
it, they were everywhere enthusiastically
greeted with the most cordial welcome, many
Union Hags having boon displayed, and such
'Cheers rent tho : hir ns .they passed 'along ns
can only be given by the oppressed tvhtfn re
lieved of fhoir Cruel oppressors, v.
. If he sidowallcs of Main ■'Street, the one
'through which Cur army passed, presented a
econo such iis oven the most imaginative de
scription would full adequately to depict.—
Hundreds of then, women and children
thronged the sidewalks. Sumo wore rushing
•tvlWly from tiro/conflagration, arid shouting,
their welcome to our advancing columns,
others wore endeavoring to extinguish the
flames which were spreading with fearful rd
pidity from bourn to house, others again wore
quickly hurling into tbs streets whatever,'arti
cles of value they could snatch from their
burning domicios.
The First “Yanks” to Efttet,
The .first military to enter the town were
Major Atherton If. Stevens and Major
Graves, of \Veiltel’s staff,.followed‘ap imme
diately by tho Fifth Massachusetts 'Cavalry,
which at once proceeded to tho Capitol and
placed one of their guidons upon it. This
Was, howovety immediately afterwards su
perseded by a beautiful flag belonging to
General Shnpley, .which .was tho .first of the
kind placed on the building, and for the hois
ting of .which Lieutenant G. L. Du Poyster,
Aid-de Catn.p to General -Shcpley, is entitled
to Irr'C Ct'Cdit.
The Mirtsaciirif-'ctts fjavrdry had scarcely
entered the town by the Darhytown Rond,
when Brevet-Biigadier-Goneial Ripley with
a brigade of infantry came dashing in on tho
New Market Road, and tho city was now
fairly occupied, and an efficient provost
guard was appointed from the command, of
li.cneral Davin, and-measoros at once,.taken
to arrest the straglei-s left behind in the has
ty exit of Ewell.
