Our Victory at Richmond.
The crowning achievement of Grant’s
campaign which made Richmond ours and
drove from it a rebel army which has de
fied ns for four years, seems tb have, been
as complete as glorious. So irresistible was
our advance —so totally unable was Lee
to stem it, that his earthworks, were no
bar to our progress, and he had
scarcely time to escape with even
the 'remnants of his once magnifi
■eent army. We entered it close oh the
heels of his rear guard, and found almost
all the locomotives and rolling stock the
Confederacy has left to make its few re
maining railroads valuable, with steam up,
standing on the traces, or. snugly in the
depots. Materiel of war was everywhere
in profusion, and even ..our prisoners were
left behind—hundreds of them being thus
providentially delivered out of the
very jaws of death—from the slaugh-
on Belle Island and in Libby.
Everything denoted an abandonment in
great haste. Lee evidently thought he
could hold the city, and it was only after
the most desperate resistance and the
endurance of most Titanic blows that
the necessity was upon him,
and the Confederacy humbled. Our'
latest news announces his army in full
flight for Lynchburg. It is needless now
to speculate upon the probable course and
disposition of the defeated army. It cannot
long follow the Lynchburg route, for Grant
is close behind it, and Thomas with every
step closes with a double rapidity upon its
front. By way.of Danville retreat is equal
ly, difficult, for no railroad can aid it, and
its transportation, we are informed, is
nearly all captured or destroyed by our
cavalry. Sheehan, when he advanced
from Savannah, destroyed the second link
of this Danville railroad below Greensboro
all the way from Columbia to Charlotte.
It is the evident purpose of Lee to fly for
help to Johnston, and make one last
battle with a depleted and disheartened
host somewhere between Baleigh, Greens
boro, and Richmond. It will be the final
battle, attended with great slaughter, per
haps, but its result it needs no gift of Elias’
mantle to prophesy.
Words Fitly Spoken;
One Of the most characteristic incidentsof
Monday afternoon in Washington, when
the people were celebrating the fall of Rich
mond, was the little speech of Secretary
Seward from the front of the State Depart
ments It is a gem in its way, and ought to be
read over and carefully treasured. The first
thing Mr. Sewabd did was to announce that
the two great half-civilized and half-barba
rous Bowers of China and Turkey were
especially entitled to the gratitude of the
American Government —the one having
studiously refused to allow a piratical flag,
to ‘ enter its harbor, and the other having
surrendered all rebel insurgents that had
taken refuge in its kingdom. What a
graceful, and yet what a stinging rebuke
this of those more pretentious Western
Powers, who, themselves the expoun
ders of international law and the ex
emplars of religion and of progress,
have been outdone in the fulfil
ment of the most delicate and primary
obligations by the Oriental dynasties l And
then, in the same vein, Mr. Sewabd seads.
Word to the Emperor of France that he
may go to Richmond and get his tobacco
(equivalent to millions ofdollars) which
has -been long hoarded and held there,
eyen'while he was eager to obtain it, and,
w'e fear, at times, a little ready to' help
those who could not send it to him. The
Secretary naively hints to Lord John Rus
sell, the British Foreign Minister, that
he can get cotton cheaper by ihirly deal
ing with the United States than by per
mitting pirates, robbers, and buccaneers
to’ use the ports and harbors and navy
yards of Great Britain for the purpose of
preying upon-the commerce of a powerful
And friendly nation 5 and again, 'thatfUn
less Great Britain is just to the United
States, she may hereafter be called upon
to decide whether Ganada shall live under
the authority of her noble Queen or be
incorporated with the .United States. His
gratitude to the Germanic Po.wers'fs no
less expressive. These'“words from the
man who has' coolly and Carefully held
the scales in which our own rights and
interests were evenly balanced against the
Suspicions, Intrigues, and prejudices of .he
diplomats of the Old World, will make a
very readable chapter in the Boob of the
Times. ,
; The Bebel Cause Irretrievably tost.
: reader of The Pbebs should fall to ;
•phase and ponder upon the article taken
frbm the Richmond Examiner of the 27th
-of February •which we reprint to-day. It
is evident that the -writer knew that the
rebel eause was hopelessly gone when he
deliberately penned these' neryous sen-;
tences, and it -is equally dear that Davis ,
and Lee had determined to runaway from ’
Bichmond at the same period. The Exa
-attiiner has always belonged to the ad
vanced school of Secession. ■- It has been a
fierce State Bights paper for twenty
■years, when the old Enquirer sermonized .
through.weary editorials and leaden com
munications, signed by the names of the
ancient Romans. The Examiner was the
paper of John M, Daniels, J. B.
De Bow, and E. A. Pollabd, author
of the little Secession hook called “ The
First Tear of the War,” published in 1862.
All these men havelatterly been antagonists
Of jEFF Datis. Now that Bichmond has
been given up, the argument of the Ex
aminer may be read with profit by those
Who tluiik that the Confederacy has.not
falteiiwith the fall, of its capital. Every
Incident since the evacuation "gives new
force to the reasonings of the Exdmiiter;
•Thousands of deserters and stragglers are
-rushing into our lines,: and many who had
simulated attachment to the rebellion
boldly throw off all disguise and array
themßelyes under the flag of the Union.
Bead this remarkable article, which
is at once prophetic and fearless. There
is scarcely a sentence in it which
- is not a proof of the weakness and
• rottenness of the rebellion, and a confession
Of the power of the (Government of our
. fathers. The New York World (Demoera
- tic) construes the capture of the rebel ca
pital in language that may be fitly quoted
In connection with the strong Saxon of the
: "Bichmond Examiner. The following points:
from the' World's leader of yesterday are
well taken:
“The moral effect on the South of the fall of
-. Bichmond wlrf&pr. greater than If Grant had suo
: deeded In tailing It In the early part of hla list year’s
campaign. Now that we have demonstrated the
■ general military weakness of the rebels, by march.
- Ing great armies throngh the heart of the South, and -
. -taking alt their seaboard cities, the fall of tholr ea
- pital and last remaining stronghold must he accom
"■ panledwlth a feeling that they have nothing left to
r fall back upon. Had Elohmond been taken In the\
1 spring or summer of last j ear, a retreat would have
been easy into almost any part of the South, which,
■from the Atlantlo to the AlleghanJeß, and from
. Chattanooga to the Gulf, Was under the Concede*
rate sway. But the most .theye&n now hope is to
, maintain a doubtful contest In the mountain re
glop. To escape with asrnrgantzed' army aoroas
the Mississippi is only not Impossible, but even if
"there were no other obstacles, It Is unlikely that
- soldiers from Virginia and the other Atlantic
States will consent to.be led that immense dis
tance to fight In a cause in which- they will no
: longer have the personal interest of men fighting,
for the protection of their homes, and whosa sue
- cess only madmen can any longer expect."
While fall credit is due and should be
tendered to the Pennsylvania Central Rail
" toad for having contributed fifty thousand
. dollars to the grand benevolence for the
. education and care of the destitute orphaps
of i the brave sons of Pennsylvania who
Lave fallen for the old flag, it is equally
worthy of remembrance that this ; : flne idea
Originated with his Excellency Andrew
G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania. If
there is one thing for which the Executive
of this State deserves the thanks of the
people, it is his constant attention to the
gallant men whom Pennsylvania has sent
forth to the defence of the Government.
From the speech of Hon. Green Clay
Smith, of Kentucky, in the’ city bf Wash
ington, last Monday afternoon, when the
news of tpe fall of Richmond was received,
we take the,following extract:
;“ 5 , b ? en pu V? possession of some more
acoo news. listen*-and I will tell 70a. Ttie latest
despatoh trom-the front Is that (General G-rant
. Secretary Stanton that he is three
hours ahead of Lee, and If the' troops In advaiioe
meet his expectations he will be able to cut Lee off;
that Lee Is attempting to esoape by the Danville
road. [Voeiferons and prolonged cheerina,] •
: “ I tell yon, fallow- citizens, this Cairo little man.
Who is much'assimilated to a bull dog, abort-legged,
stent, and muscular, with a big bead and bob-tall,
will outrun Lee yet. He Is three hours ahead of
him now, aud it Is Impossible for Lee to get away.
And there is another man, with long legs, and who
is notorious for long and speedy marches, by the
nt me of Sherman. [Cheers] Yes, you all know
him 5 he Is eomingnp at the rate of twenty knots
an hour.” [Cheers.]
: We copy, from yesterday’s Washington
Morning Ohronicle_ a thrilling speech of
Vice President Andrew Johnson, de
livered at the grand, spontaneous mass
meeting in the city of Washington on liJst
Monday afternoon, when the news of the
fall of Richmond was received. It is one
of the best-considered and most eloquent
efforts of the second officer of the Govern
ment.: :
Is it A Daogeii that x S6n BBVOBg Ntnl—Ex-
Oovernof Wise, of Virginia, haß mounted a nigh
horse since he left thexebel army. He says that If
Lee ever beoomes Dictator, he, the aforesaid Wise,
f has the dagger of 'Biytv* In his‘jigkt hand.” Tats
Is all a mistake. Judging fiom Wise’s exploits at
Roanoke Island,-It can’t be the dagger of Bruftts,
end It must be the dagger of Barleguin in the pan
tomime.—.frets York Herald, 4
But- the Herald is mistaken, too.. There
is no dagger in the hands of Governor
Wise, or anybody, that can reach Lee now.
It will require .the longest kind of- a sword.
LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
■Washington, April 4,1865.
; The time frequently anticipated and dis
cussed in this correspondence, the time for
wise aqd patriotic action, is close at hand.
The abandonment of Kiehmond By the
rebels to the protection of the Federal Go
vernment, the sure of law
and order, and the restoration of peace and i
prosperity through ail the borders of Vir-,
ginia,,will necessitate the early enunciation
of a practicalpolicy, or at any rate the speedy
employment of such expedients as will be
found - essential to the new and extraor
dinary condition of affairs. Ido not en
tertain a doubt, now that Lee and his des
peradoes are running before the pursuing
Union columns, that thousands of men and
Women in Virginia who h ave groaned under
the oppressor’s yoke—who have given of
their substance to this bad cause—whose
fathers,. sons, husbands, and brothers,,
have been torn from them to fight and
die for treason—will refuse to contri
bute any longer to the rebellion. Upon
them and upon the Old Dominion the heavi
est burdens of the rebellion, have fallen ;
and it would be monstrous to expect that
they should be willing to go away from
homes which are soon to, be blessed by the j
presence of the humane, forgiving, and li
beral influences of the regular Government,'*
to endure new agonies under the lead ’of
LeeandDavis, and to offer themselvesaa the
shield and rampart behind which their be
trayers and tyrants may hide from the' in
evitable wrath to come. Every hour
brings additional intelligence to Washing
ton that an outbreak of Union enthusiasm'
all through Virginia is not only probable,
but certain. 'President Lincoln is -dictating
his despatches in the mansion of Jefferson
Davis, in the late rebel capital
despatches not. of hate or of inti--
midation, but of affection and mag
nanimity. The telegraph wires..that re
cently flashed intelligence from Biehmond-,
’tirTfur Various traitor headquarters, now f
■send mcEsages-ofcongratulation to. Wasjk*
ipgton and to the chief cities of the North.'
and Northwest. And-’where, -now, shall
the telegraphfin djefferaon Davis ? Where'
can he talk with the tongue of lightning to
those who have heretofore obeyed his in
human orders ? -Surrounded, front, rear,
and on both flanks, he "will presently find
‘no refuge but in complete and tthcoUditionai
capitulation. Ordersliave already been gi van
to repair the railibad between; Washington
iand Richmond, and, judging from the ra
- pid.ity with which our military e ngineerd
have pushed forward those, iron highways
in the most distant and rugged regions,
yon -need not be surprised" if, in a short
time, excursions to the
headquarters of- trea-;
sbnare advertised in your hews-;
papers. With a find government of the
intermediate country, for the detection
and punishment of guerillas and marauding
parties—which can be done perfectly by
holding alb the residents along the line re
ponsible for the depredations that may be
committed—this trip will be as safe as for
merly, when passengers from the North
disembarked at tbe Washington depot and
took the boat for. Aequia Creek, and so
passed on to their Southern homes. Events
in times like these appear suddenly, and
require, prompt action. Can you dohbti
when the rebel leaders appreciate the utter
hopelessness of their cause, that those who
have reluctantly submitted to them will
ruffs forward and create such organisations
as 'will’attract, intensify, and consolidate the
true Union men, thus Offering to Presi
dent Lincoln the opportunity for which
he is unquestionably waiting—in short,
Convince him that he may treat with
others than the authors of the rebellion,
and that he and his Administration will be
sustained by the great mass, of the South
ern people ? Can yon doubt that President;
Lincoln will at once embrace the occasion,
when it is fairly and palpably presented ?
You need not,therefore, be surprised if the
new Congress is called at an early day.

that retain any thing like organization have gone
north of the Appomattox and are apparently
heading for Lynohburg, their losses havingbsonvery
heavy. 1 -The houses through the country are nearly
ell used as hospitals for wounded men. In every
direotion I hear of rebel soldlerß pushing for home,
some In large and Bomo In small squads, and gene,

closely that the enemy have bee# forced to destroy
probably the greater part of their transportation,

1 HBAPQIJABTEBa ABMT OP THE POTOMAC,-April
.2,—Tho most important victory 'the Army of the
(Potomac has ever ga'fted M was won to
}day, and the cuter lldy of; works^which we have
been trying In vata'for months to overcame, has at
last yielded toour victorious arms, and the greater
portion of thiß array are tonjßhtwWWirarnms and
ja halfof theeljyjni-HrtfS.outhwest aide. .
Tbertroggie made bythe enemy to retain their
‘works has baonof the mostdetporate character, and
tfor toe anOSess obtained (to-day we are indebted not
-only to the strategy exercised by the commanders,
hut to the overwhelming numbers and bravery or
the troops that dld-the work.
- The orders for an attackon thelineeast and south
' of Petersburg by toe eth and StlftGQtps .were oarried
i out punctually atflayllght, the artillery having been
i hammering away thegreaterpartofthe night along
i the entire line held by,the aboveherps. Sach a fn
: rlouaeaD'nonade has been veryssldflin heard during
' the war, not evenaUrpassed by thatwhloh was heard
on the oceaf ion of the mine explosion. :•;
The 9th Corpsiroops engaged la the action were
the 2d and Sd dlvlalonsandOol. Samuel Harriman-’a
brigade ol the lst divlalon. The oharges woto made
in tront of Porta .Hell and Rloe.ontha Jerusalem
road, ahd were.sofar successful that by 8 A. HI. we
were lu possesslbn.bf three fortldoatlons, FOrt Ma
hone belrg the most extentlve and elaborate.
Thtse works contained' fourteen gutis, some of
which were at once opeied.on theonemy by men be
longing to tbe Infantry regiments. Just Inside, and
about one hundred yards frona l’ort DXahone, was
another work, to which .the, re%li retreated, and
from whioh they threw a most destructive tire upon
ccr men, causing them to retiresrom the northern
end, when the rebels made a dash, thinking to re
cover it entirely, but the guns Inutile right wing, as
well as in the centre, had manned and shotted,
and the assailants were driven back.
From this time till late In the afternoon, the
struggle continued, the enemy using every effort to
recover the fort, .while our men Were determined to
retain possession of - what they i&d fought so hard
and paid so'dearly for.
About noon'the chanoes seamed that wo should
lose It, but ebon 'after the Provisional brigade, un
der General Collls, and the Engineer brigade, under
General Behbam, with General Hamilton’s brigade
of the Oth Corps, came on the grdund, and, by their
timely arrival, saved the gallaSplneiHn the work
from capture, and again cauaecf'the enemy to re
treat.
The fire which rained on tbe ground around this
fort was of the most fearful character, and to stand
and. sea men-advance and rnni-through-thevory
thickest of It— many of -them tor* to pieces and lost’
toelght before they crossed half.Hyydißtanoe—was a
sight not soon to be forgotten. -p'
• At dark the position of the contestants, was the ;
same as during the day. . . ’
Gen. Wilcox, with a part ofhlf division, made an ,
attack 1* front of Fort MoGllvtoy, near the Appo-.
mattox, and took part of the fide, bat was soon
after forced to retire to his former position,,owing
to a lack of support. '
Theloss of the 9th Corps will teaoh from eight
hundred to one thousand, in killed, wounded, and:
prisoners, among whom were General Potter, com
manding the 2d Division, who la badly wounded In
tbe groin, -, but not fatally, it is. thought: Colonel
Gelchell, of the Blst Maine, severely; Major Bet
ton,'Blst Maine, severely; Col. Gregg and Lieut.
Col. Window, 179th New York,-, wounded; Major
Morrow,'2osth Pennsylvania, fort a leg j Lieut.
Alexander, 505th P6nnßylvanla,:illled.
The 9th Corps have taken laguna, about 200 pri
soners, and two battle-flags—theaatter by the 2llth
Pennsylvania. ' ■ ■■s■'
The oth Corps struck the enemy’s line in front of
Fort Welch, near the celebrated lead works, and
carried titan with very sllghtloss. They at once
pushea for the gonthside road, Which they reached
abont nine o’clock, and In a very short time several
miles of it were.torn up and destttyed.
They then moved on- down towards Petersburg,
driving' the rebels before themi across Town Hun,
aid into thdlr Inner lines, close to the city.
They took a' large ntmibeijbr prisoners, about
-2,000, ard some twenty guns- 1 - , ‘
No attack oh the inner link tea-been made as
yet, as the position Is a strong one, and win either
be defended; to the last or evacuated during the
night, ...... ;
The 24th Corps, holding the lines north of Hatch
er’s Hun and south of the Duncan road, connecting
with the 6ih Corps on the right ana the- 2d on tbe
left, advanced at daylight and took the works iq
their ftont'wlth slight loss. • !
y Over .one thousand prisoners welo captured here.
These Iroopß were Foster’s and! Tomer’s divisions,
under Gen. Gibbons. They were'Supported bythe
colored division of the 25th Corps jbnt the latter did
not get into action. t j
The 2d Corps, which held the line from the ran, a
mile and a helf east of the Boydton road to over a
mile west.of it, delayed advancing.' until Sheridan,
with the fith-Oorps, got within supporting distance
on the extremp- loft, when thp,'entire lino moved
forward, oarryingtha works almost -without op po
sition. . : ~
The enemy was foutld to have fallen beck from
this part of-the line, owing to tStcJth Oorps cutting
them off, they having .reaoheaithe,SSoathslde road
early in the forenoon, and beLvg busy In tearing It
up. This, of oourse, out tbe relied army In. two, and
the two divisions thus caught between the 6th and.

- The enemy is quiet, though much demoralized,

The enemy know that Sherman’s army Is daily
gathering strength for his victorious undertaking,
and fear the pending blow, which they confess to be
destructive to,all their hopes, and which even their

DAY LAST.
The Hon. Andrew Johnson, Vice President Of the
United States, was discovered In the crowd, and,
upon being vociferously called for, was lntroddood
by Mr. Wetmoro, military agent of the State of
OMo. _
The Tice President expressed Ms thanks for tho
fervid reception accorded to him by the vast crowd,
and said:
“As. I have been introduced I will make one or
two remarks, for I feel chat noone would be justified
in attempting to make an address on such an ocoa-
the excitement is justly at bo great *
“We are now, my friends, winding up a rebel
lion, a groat etioit that has been made by bad
men to overthrow the Government or the United
States, a government founded upon free prin
ciples- and cemented by the beet blood of the
Revolution, [Oheers.]- You must indulge me In
making one single remark in connection with my- -
self- At the time that the traitors in the Senate of
the United States plotted against the Government
and entered Into a conspiracy more foul, more exe
crable, and more odious than that of Oataline
against the Romans, I happened to be a member of
that body, and, as to loyalty, stood solitary and
alone among the Senators from the Southern
Stales. I was then and there called upon to
know what I would do with suoh traitors, and I
want .to repeat, my reply here. I said, if we had
ah Andrew Jaoksdn he would hang them as high as
' Human. [Oheers.] But as he is no more, and
sleeps in Ms grave hr Ms own beloved State,
where traitors and treason have even insulted his
tomb "and the very earth, that covers Ms remains,
humble as I am, when yon ask me what I would do,
my reply is, I would arrest them: I' would try
them; 1 would, convict them, and I would hang
them. [Prolonged oheers] As humble as I am
and have been, I have pnrsned bat one, uadevla-
Ung course. All that I have—life, limb, and pro
perty—have been put at the disposal of the country
in this great struggle. I have been in eamp, I have
been In the field, I have been everywhere where
this great rebellion was; I have pursued It until I
believe I can now see Its termination. Since the
world began, there never has been a rebellion of
such gigantic proportions,' So infamous in charac
ter, SO diabolical in motive, so entirely dUregardtal
of the laws of civilised war. It has iatroa uoed the
most savage mode of warfare ever praqUchd upon
the earth. I will repeat here a remark, for watch
I have been in no small degree censored. What
Is It, allow me to ask, that has sustained the na
tion in this great struggle t The cry has been, you
kiow that our Government was not strong enough
for a time of rebellion; that .in such a time she
wooidbave to contend against Internal weakness
as well'as internal loos, we hava how given .the
world evidence that such is net the fact; and when
the rebellion shall have been orusued out, and the
nation shall onoe again have settled down in psaca,
our Government win rest upon a more enduring
baste than ever before. [Oheers.] But, my friends,
'ln-what has the great strength of this Govern
ment consisted 1 Has it been in one-man|power?
Hag it beep in some antoprat, or in some oue man
Who -held absolute government!' No I I thank
God I have'it in my power to proclaim the great
troth that this Government has derived its strength
rrem the American people, They have issued the
edict; they-have exercised the power that has
resulted In the overthrow of tha rebellion, and
there 1b sot another Government upon the face
of the earth that could hava withstood the shock.
[Oheers ] We can now congratulate our elves that
wo possess the. strongest, the freest, and the best
Government the world ever saw. [Great applause ]
Thank God that we have lived through this trial,
and’that, looking In your Intelligent laces here to
day, I can announce to yon the great fact that
Petersburg, the outpost of the strong oitadel, has
been occupied by onr brave and gallant officers, and
our untiring, invincible soldiers. [Great casering.]
And not content with that, they have captured
the citadel liselt, the stronghold of traitors. Rich
mond Is ours, and is now occupied by the forces of
the United States 1 [tremendous oheers ] H«r
gates have been entered,: and the glorious stars and
stripes, the emblem of UMon, of power, and ot
supremacy; now float oyer the enemy’s oepitol!
[Great cheering ] In the language of another, let
that old Beg rise higher and higher, until It meets
tho sun in Ms coming, and let too parting day linger
to play upon its ample folds. [Oheers.] It is the flag
of your country, it is your flag, It Is my flag, audit
blc s defiance to all the nations of the earth, and to
tbe encroachments of all the powers combined.
[Renewed cheering ] It Is not my Intention to
make any imprudent remaikß or allusions, but the
honr will come when those nations that'exhibited
toward ub such insolence and improper interference
in tbe mldst or our,adverslty, and, as they supposed,
of our weakness, will learn that this Is a governmont
of the people, possessing power enongh to make
itself felt and respected. [Oheers ] In the midst
of our rejoicing, we must not forget to drop a tear
for those gsllant fellows who have shed their blood
that their Government might triumph. We cannot
forget them when we view the many bloody battle
fields of the war, tbe new-made graves, our maimed
friends end relatives, who hav&leit their limbi, as
It were, on the enemy’s soil, and others who hare
been consigned to their long narrow hodsos with no
winding sheet i save their blankets saturated with
their blood. One word more, and I have done. It
is this; lam In favor oflerteDcj; but, in my opin
ion, evil doerssbonid be punished. [Cries of ‘ That’s
sol’] Treason Is theMghest crime known In the
catalogue of crimes; and for Mm that Is guilty of it
—for him that is willing to lilt his Impious hand
against the authority of the nation—-I would say
death Is too easy a punishment. [Loud Oheers.]
My notion is that tressonmuet be made ofiloos, that
traitors must be punished and impoverished, their
soolal power broken, though they must be made to
feel the penalty of their crimes. You, my friends,
bare traitors In yonr very midst, and.treason needs
rebuke and punishment here as well as elsewhere.
It Is not the men In the field who are the greatest
traitors. It is the men who have encouraged them
to Imperil their lives, wMle they themselves have re
mained, at home expendldg their means and exertlnz
all their power to overthrow the Government.
Hence I say this—' the halter to intelligent, indu
es tlal traitors.’ [Lond- cheers ] But to the honest
boy,to the deluded man, who has.been deceived
Into the rebel ranks, I would extend leniency. I
would say, return to your allegiance, renew your
support to the Government, and become a good citi
zen [but the leaders I would hang. [Great cheer
ing.] I hold, too, that wealthy traitors should
be made to remunerate those men who hava suf
fered as a consequence of their crime—Union
men' who have lost their property, who have
boon driven from their homes, beggars and wan
derers among strangers. It Is well to talk about
’there things here to day; in addressing the well
informed persona who oomnose this audience. You
can, to a ,vehy great extent, ala ia moulding pub- •
lio opinion, and in giving it a propelr direction.
■Let ub Commence the work. Wo have pat down
thete traitors In arms; lotus put them down In.
.law, in public juognsent, and in tha morals of tho
world. [Great oheers ] Permit ma now to pro
peso three oheers for the capture of Richmond.’’
Three times, three cheers were given with im-,
mouse enthusiasm, when three cheers were pro
posed for the Vice President, and given with hearty
goodwill. ’ • ■ —.
