Jims. FBIDAY, APRIL 7, 1865. THE POSITION AND PROSPECTS N OF LEE. Although we have' advices of the com mencement of a powerful attack on the last of the rebel seaports, Mobile, still the interest of the people continues to centre itself in lie main bulwark of the Confede racy, Lee’s army. The wishes and hopes of the people are all directed towards its destruction, and every ear is ready at any moment to hear such tidings. This fact was exemplified in our own city last night in the very general circulation of. a rumor that it had surrendered without offering the slightest resistance. But we have not the pleasure of making such ah ahnouuce ment now, though there is good reason for constantly expecting it.' If Lee ever intends to carry out the “movement ’ that was boasted of with such an air of mysterious certainty a few weeks ago, and means to do something to “ astonish the world,” that “ movement” is the present one, and his opportunity is now. For assuredly never was there a more difficult position than his, if the official despatches have stated it correctly. Be was, when last heard from,' at Amelia Court House, with Sheridan's cavalry fast galloping round his left into Ms front. Now we hear of Sheridan in Ms front at Jcttersviile, a station on the Dan ville Kailroad, five or six miles from-the Coujt House. In other words, Sheridan is posted directly across Ms line of retreat to any point except the. open country, where the James river in the distance bars his way; Grant, with one corps, holds Burksville" Station, and sends another to help Sheridan, wMle the very small re mainder of the army lies cosily at Black and White Station, on the Southside Bail road, fifteen miles from Leb’s position, ready for a movement in any direction. The pursuit has been' conducted well. Lee’s flight has ceased even sooner than we expected. It requires no military eye to see the ex treme hazardousness of this position. De lay is death, for he has now no rail roads to carry him supplies, of which he must he at least two days in want; no carefully-built works bristling with cannon and swanning with men to give him faith and courage, for .he has few cannons and few men. Eight, left, and rear, retreat is as impossible as an un disputed advance. An enemy’s country now lies all around Mm, and an enemy’s legions, flushed with strength, enclose Mm on three sides. What wii£he do f What shall we next hear from Mm? He will, indeed, “astonish the world” if out of “the nettle danger he plucks the flower safety.;” if in the midst of overwhelming defeat he displays a genius even superior to a Napoleon’s, which was ever the brighter for the darknesß that surround ed it. How the Capture of Richmond will be Received in Europe. Nothing more edifying could be read in the light of our recent triumphs, than the intelligence from Great Britain, by the steamer Etna, which arrived at New York on Wednesday There is such a craving after trouble with the United States, on the part of those who sympathize with the rebellion, that we pity the miserable ma lignity of the parties engaged in this labor of love. First we have the correspondent of the London Times writing from Richmond that he “ never had less hesitation in assu ring-the North; that their work is not more than half done and again, that “ the f terms offered by Mr. Lincoln at the' recent conference have wrought a com-. plete refolution in the feelings of the ’ South/’ .Now this creature, for so he de serves to be called, knew at the time that he penned these sentences that he, was : penning falsehoods, for he was admitted to the inner circles of the traitors, and un doubtedly saw that they feared they would have to leave the rebel capital. He saw, at any rate, that they were despondent,’ out of: money, out of food, out of cloth ing, and were writhing under the fact that .they could get no aid from abroad. He knew, also, that the terms offered by President Lincoln were acceptable to a large .body of the Southern people, and that our troops had been warmly welcomed by the laboring classes as they advanced into 'the interior. .Bnt he had been hired t.o fabricate his facts, or, rather, his fables, and to create a false opinion in reference to the rebellion in England, by which to induce men to invest in Confederate ■securities, and to speculate in cotton and in block ade-running, ! knowing that all such gam bling ended in loss and bankruptcy-! This, too, for the benefit of “ my Lord Cardi nal”—the pure and powerful London Times! The next indication is the speech, on the 20 th of March, in the House of Commons, by the same Mr. Gregory who early in the rebellion'made himself ridiculous by his bold misrepresentations Of the intentions of our Government and the opinions of our people. Now this wretched demagogue is anxious to know what steps had been taken to protect the property of British sub jects purchased and paid for before the commencement of the war. This al ludes to the English cotton sent - to New York from the South by order- of our Government. He never felt anxious to protect British honor when British ports, shipyards, and British soil were openly and frequently used for the purpose of de stroying American commerce pn the high seas. He was too neutral for that! The wholebrift of this debate was discreditable even to the Tory party that conducted it—bad and base as that party has been in its treatment of the American question from the first. How these bigoted and unscrupulous men will receive the" in telligence of the evacuation and surrender of Petersburg and Bichmond needs no prophecy to anticipate. , Startled by the" Rapture of Savannah, the fall of Charies . ton, the steady naval and military operations before Mobile, the massing of the mighty columns of Grant, and the concentration around Bichmond— What excuse will they invent, what. new Calumny set afloat, when they realize the complete triumph of the whole programme of the Government, and the Inevitable downfall of the rebellion ? While we would discriminate, in these remarks, be tween the friends of the Russell-Falmer ston Ministry and the opponents thereof, it cannot be doubted that the effect of the re cent achievements of the Union armies will be salutary upon English interests —whether financial, commercial, political, or military.. The intelligence of the fall of Richmond will reach Great Britain after the news of the late scandalous proceedings of the local judiciary of Lower Canada, which were, let us say, in justice to the Home Government, in direct defiance of the and ex-" atnples of the known feelings of the. minis try and of the Upper Canadian judges. Probably Mr, Seward’s speech will assist to enlighten the aristocracy in Parliament and the libellers of the London Tims to a still better appreciation of the intentions and the resources of the Federal Govern ment, now that its -authority is being maintai»ed by force of arms within all our borders. Nothing in our struggle against treason- will shine more lastingly to our re nown than the wise, reticent, and unosten tatious foreign policy of Mr. Lincoln’s Ad ministration; “ Peace and good will to all mankind, but no interference in our affairs by anyone,” the motto of Washington and Jefferson and of the succeeding Pre sidents, is incorporated as a precept into the example of Mr. Lincoln. Not a word has been uttered by any one of his authorized agents or ministers to inflame the feelings of any of the foreign Powera, and least of all has England the slightest reason to allege that any branch of the Federal Go vernment, high or low, has sought to create distrust between the two nations. How dif ferent with the politicians of Great Britain 1 How different with the accepted organs of the great parties—with the London Times and its echoes—even with Lord Pal merston, who did not hesitate at an early period to indicate, his sympathy with, the rebellion; and the same may be said of every other English statesman, with the ex ception of John Bright and Eiohard Cobden, and the Jate Duke of Argyle. When the great Auditor comes to make up the final account between the Government of the United States and that which as sumes to lead other nationalities, it will be found that we have a large balance on the side of personal honor and public law. A True Democrat of the Old School. Among the visitors to Philadelphia we observe Colonel Maxwell McCaslin, now of Parkersburg, Virginia, formerly of Greene county, Pennsylvania, and for many years well known in onr State poli tics. He was ten years a member of the Le gislature of the State, haying been a State Senator for six years, and twice elected Speaker of that body. Early in 1854 he was appointed Indian agent in* the Terri tory of Kansas by President Pierce, and remained in that position for sometime under the Administration of James Bucha nan. Although born at Martinsburg, Vir ginia, the Pennsylvania experience of Col McCaslin and his rugged and honest character led him to revolt early against the attempts of the Missouri ruffians to interfere with the freedom of opinion and suffrage in that territory, and to co-operate with the Northwest Governors, successively re moved and appointed by President Fiebce because of their own contempt and scorn of these wrongg. Thus he sustained Go. Shannon, Governor Bbbdbr, and Governor Geary j and when President Buchanan appointed Robert J. Walker governor, and F. P, Stanton Secretary of the Territory, with the expectation; and belief that they would satisfactori ly adjust the grave troubles which dis turbed the tranquillity and threatened to destroy the prospects of the incoming State, Colonel- McCaslin was among the first to ! welcome them. Both having strong South ern sympathies—Governor Walker having sat in the-United Slates Senate from Mis sissippi, and Mr. Stanton having repre sented Memphis, the most wealthy and de cided slave district in Tennessee, in the House—the border ruffians looked to them for countenance and co-operation. But when Walkbb publicly said that, while he was a Southern man at heart, and desired to see Southern men control Kansas, he would not permit fo reigners or men from other States ,to come in to manage the elections, and when he went to the Oxford and McGhee districts, and there ventilated and exposed the fraud? of the ruffians under the control of the in famous Marshal Jonbs, by which they manufactured fifteen hundred votes in one place, and twelve hundred and fifty votes in another place, for the purpose of con- 4 trolling the legislation and shaping the" destinies of Kansas—when he did these things he at once the object of proscription of the slave leaders. Col. McCaslin stood forth at the head of the free State men and sustained Governor Walker in Ms rejection of these returns. What followed is now matter of his tory, and wifi never be forgotten. In'- the succeeding stages of the conflict in Kansas nothing is more keenly remembered than the summary removal'of Gov. Walk er, Hon. F. P. Stanton, Ms secretary, and Col. Maxwell McCaslin, together with other, independent officials, who nobly refused to accept what they knew to be infamous, and who preferred ba nishment from place to submission to despotism. After these men returned to; the people they were ranked among the! leaders of the Democracy who opposed the > Lecomptohbill, the English bill, and other’ iniquities ,of the Buchanan, Jeff Davis, ’ and Bigler policy—a policy wMch, in our opinion, led to this great civil war. If these men "had yielded to the counsel of Governor Walker, and had- permitted :the people of Kansas to control their insti tutions, the rebellion would have been re duced to a handful of malignants in the Southern States, and would have been ut terly crushed. Upoh the return of Colonel McCaslin, at the beginning of the rebel lion, he moved to Western Virginia,-hav ing purchased a. fine farm near Parkers burg, where he has since resided, and where he now lives. At' the commence ment of the war, although considerably advanced in years, he expressed his de termination to volunteer for the defence of Ms country, and organized one of the finest regiments ever raised, wMch is still in service under General Ord, now “at the front.” Colonel McCas lin was elected colonel of tMs regiment, which he commanded two years, when he resigned on account of ill health, having adjusted his accounts and received the thanks of his superior bffleers. We refer to this patriotic citizen for a double pur pose—first, to" show that a man who does Ms duty in a great crisis is never forgotten by the people, and secondly, to call the attention of those who formerly acted with Colonel McCaslin in the Democratic party to the fact that to be a true Democrat is to be opposed to injustice of all kinds, and particularly to the traitors who have at tempted to overthrow the Government. Raising of the Flag over Fort Sumpter. On Friday, the 14th of April, the flag of the United States of America—the- sym bol of Freedom,-of Union, of a written Constitution, of Law and Order, of Tolera tion, of Progress, of Equality, and of a vindicated Republic—will be raised upon the ruins of Fort Sumpter, or rather upon the firm foundations of that fort upon which is soon to grow other and stronger battlements that will laugh hostile navies to scorn. TMs day, at twelve o’clock, the good sMp Arago beam from the port of New York Major ’General .Bobebt Anderson and Ms brave offi cers, and what is left of the eighty men , who 'stood by and fought with him just four years ago, and after unparalleled en durance and courage surrendered* to the seven thousand rebels by whom they were beleaguered. There is a solemn and touch ing significance in these ceremonies. The flag which fell in an hour of gloom rises in an hour of victory. It is to be restored to the place from which it floated when the nation over which it has floated eighty-: nine years is restored and cemented after a baptism of blood and fire. It is given to the breeze almost simultaneously with the giving of freedom to four millions of hu man beings. The day wMch marks tMs act of retribution upon rebellion, and of the acknowledgment of the supremacy of the Government, should be commemorated like the Fourth of July. A "distinguished citizen calls upon us to recommend that when General Anderson hauls upi the star-spangled banner on the flag-staff of Sumpter, every loyal. community, every hamlet, and town, and city should, by sig nificant and suitable manifestations, ratify and honor the deed. ' Two of Stanton’s Jokes. Secretary Stanton, the moment Rich mond fell, sent General Silas Cabby there to commence the military organization of the colored men for the defence of the city and the manning of the forts. If additional authority is needed for this proceeding, a very good law can be found in the “ Con federate.” statute, boohs, which provides . f or the enrolment of these same people. Secretary Stanton did another very odd thing. Bhortly after the Union pri soners were let loose Rom the foul dens of Libby—the rebel Bastile and Black Hole—he turned intothat hospitable retreat as many of the “Confederate” prisoners 1 as were out April house-hunting. Secretary Seward* A despatch from Hon. Frederick W. Seward, Assistant Secretary of State, to the editor of this paper,” dated yesterday afternoon, gives the gratifying intelligence that his father is much easier. Amid the general joy of our whole people, the intelli gence of the accident to Mr. Seward cre ated the most profound grief., All seemed to feel that the loss of tMs prudent, thought ful, devoted public servant would be an ir reparable national calamity. We are most happy, therefore, to hear that thongh badly injured Jhe is not in danger. The new Military Governor of Bich mond, Brig. Gen. GeobgS F. Sheplry, is one of those whom this war has made fami liar 7 to the people, and whose early promise has been vindicated by important services to the Government. General Shrflby, before" the rebellion, was a leading Demo crat in the State of Maine, and co-operated with the Breckinridge wing of the party, but when the old flag was fired upon at Sumpter, he entered the ranks and soon rose to distinction. He was military governor of New Orleans during the administration of the Department of Louisiana by General Butler, and "after wards occupied the same position at Nor r folk, Virginia. By far the most important trust reposed in the hands of General Shefley, however, is the new command to wMch he has been called. His patriotic order of the 3d of April will be found in -another column., To a knowledge of civil and military law, General Governor Shep lby adds fine acquirements, a courteous address, and inflexible firmness. The London Times thought General Sherman’s advance lipon Savannah a dreadful mistake, and called Ms subse quent march into South Carolina and North Carolina a sort of funeral proces sion, because “ he was being tolled to his ■ grave,” The only mistake of the Times was in. omitting to state that it was not Sherman’s funeral, but that of the Re bellion, to which his hosts so gaily stepped. The Copperhead Party.— lf reduced in numbers, it still lives. It now consists of one man, B. Wood, of New York. He hashing labored for a party he could con trol, and he has at last succeeded. As it is always in session, save when it is asleep, it ■will require no watching, and cannot be troubled with divisions. It possesses, therefore, the great virtue of being unani mous on all questions. Hon.-John Sherman, the able Senator in Congress from the State of Ohio, arrived in this city on Wednesday, and will leave for New York tMs afternoon. He is in. fine health, and speaks in glowing terms of the condition of the army of'Ms brother, W. T. Sherman, which he left only a few days ago, and of the bright and brighten ing prospects in .all our military depart ments. . ■ Virginia.— A "Washington despatch reiterates a very old and Gtnpid blunder as follows: “ Governor Plerrepont Is to transfer the Govern ment of the State of Western Virginia from Alex andria to Bichmond, immediately. A largo party or ladles and gentlemen will go to Bichmond with him to inaugurate the new Government.” There is no such State as Western Virginia, and Gov. Plerrepont is not the Governor of West Vir ginia, bnt Arthur J. Foreman is. Francis H. Plerrepont Is Governor of old Virginia—that is, of the loyal State of that name. And, as the time has arrived for the “ reconstruction” of old Virginia, It seems to ns that it may advantageously oryatallzs around the Plerrepont organization, hitherto re stricted to a few counties on the eastern verge of the State. On this point we are not tenacious, and may judge differently when better advised; the vital matter being that there shall be a loyal Vlr tlnia, constituted and recognized as soon as may e.— Mem York Tribune of yesterday. Governor Piebbefont has already gone to Bichmond, with full authority to con tinue the government, and has taken with Mm his Cabinet and the records of the proceedings of the Legislature and the State Government while they were located at Alexandria. v LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, April 6, 1885. The evacuation,' however it may have been debated by the rebel leaders,. was always regarded as a last resort Not. one of them doubted that with its surrender the 'mainstay, of their conspiracy was broken. So jmany destinies were dependent- upon the maintenance as the capi-, ’tal of Treason, that it,was natural it should’, be protected with desperate _ tenacity. ; Hence, when.it. was proposed’to give it up, last Februaiy> it was not surprising that the Richmond JEmminer should so violently and so eloquently denounce the suggestion. It is .undoubtedly true 1 that the leaders saw that the time might come whenit must be yielded ; but they feared to admit their pur pose, and, therefore, when the blowcame, it came like a thunder-bolt from a cloudless sky. -The manner of their exodus shows that they were wholly unprepared. The just-opened mail and the just-sealed an swers found in the official rooms; the tele gram sent by Lee to Davis, and delivered to him in church on the sad Sabbath, the 2d of April; the flight of Davis, leaving his furniture and Ms personal effects be hind him; the sudden burning of the town and destruction of public property—dispel the theory, for a short time vehemently in sisted upon in certain quarters, that the evacuation was a piece of strategic genius," .and not the result of-.inexoraffie' necessity. But if other evidence were needed, look at the dislocation and crashing of Lee’s army. Before you seeShese words in type, Sheridan may be striking Ms foe in more than one vital part, and Hancock, whose fresh battalions were supposed to be, on Tuesday, at Staunton, fifty "miles from Lynchburg, one of the points towards wMch Lee is said to be staggering, with a fair prospect of helping to complete the catastrophe of the traitors. And in tMs statement 1 do not include what Sherman may be intending for Ms ms-a-ms, Johnston, or what Thomas is doing withMs veterans. It is enough. The hour so lohg fought for and prayed for has come. The Republic lives, and the Rebellion dies. And from the grave of Treason the flowers of Peace and Forgiveness, and a restored Union, will spring and bloom, never to. perish, but to be reproduced in immortal life* till Time shall be no more. Occasional. OUBSTBBNeTH AHD-PStOSPBCTB, AMD THOSB OB tbb Hebblb.—The rebel power on this, our Eastern seaboard, is now made up of but two weak and hitherto defeated armies, whllein all other quarters of the once powerful land of rebels om there is not an organized force of any strength. The rebel pa pers of Mississippi are boasting, however, bf what these small bodies will do when coalesced, but as they have not yet done anything, and hate made no very Important evidences of their whereabouts, It Is fair to suppose that all their grand triumphs will end, as they begun, in grand gasconade. Dick Taylor has a few troopß in Alabama, and another small detachment garrisons Mobile. Against the trans- Misslsslppi we have a splendidly-appointed and nu merous army under Oanby. Thomas’ cavalry, under General Wilson, have thus far been able, all alone, to keep Taylor quiet, while Steele, approaching from Florida, and a part of Oanby’g army from keep every available rebel in Mobile ibr what will prove a lame and Impotent defence. All this time we have two’ armies, Thomas’ Mid Saneoeh’g, now reported in the Shenandoah, advancing on Lynch burg, which ore, if we may use the term, loose. It is evident, therefore, that everything Is In our hands, and the harder. We work the fewer days wUI be left in the life -of rebellion, which is measured by days. Babkum Vbntubes in a New.Diebotion.— The people In some parts of Connecticut appreciate the merits of Mr, P. T. Barnum, the great showman, much better than some of the citizens of our own State did those of Mr. Dan Bice, also the great' showman. Barnum was elected a member of the Connecticut Legislature last Monday, while Else was defeated for a similar post In that of onrown State. Barnum, in'&. letter, facetiously says his election is a great euriosity to himself at least, and the only way to exhibit It Is by malting himself a prominent man In the Legislature and In the poli tical circle of his adopted State. Nobtbbbw Entbbpbisb.— Everybody knows what City Point was before the war—a straggling village, quiet, sleepy, and desolate, though inhabit, ed. 'When Grant made it his base of supplies, new life-ra life of laborious activitj—was given It, and numerous go- ahead- atlvo men from the Worth went there "and entered Into business as sutlers, photo graphers, &c. Their main support* of course, came from the soldiers, and when Grant moved this sup. port left them. But with all this, their occupation Is not gene. We see that they have followed the army, and have now entered the deserted stores-of Petersburg, where they are again doing a thriving business, filling up tbe depleted cupboards and wardrobes of the Inhabitants. The town is assu ming a business Air, anils henceforth'a Northern city, to be benefitted by tbe brains and energy of Northern capitalists and business men.

Delancey, Bishop of the Diocese of Western New York, ofthe Protest ant Episcopal Church, died at his residence In Ge neva, N. Y., on Wednesday. The late Bishop was born In Westchester county; N. Y., Oot. 8, 1797,, graduated at Yale College In 1817, and was ordain ed In 1820.

In 1833 he be came assistant minister of St. Peter’s Ohureh, of Philadelphia, dnd in 1837,; rector. When toe dio cese of New York was divided in 1838, Dr. Delanoey was eleotod the first Bishop of the new diocese of 'Western New York. His. consecration took place on May 9,1339. In 1852'he visited England as a delegate to toe English House oLßishops,’ from the Protestant Episcopal Chureh of Amerlea. He Is succeeded by Dr. Cleveland Cox, who a short time ago was elected Assistant Bißhop of the Dio cese. —Among toe lookers-on at tod grand campaign ft Lieutenant Colonel Leconipte, hf the Swiss service, sent to this Country, by hft Government to watch the closing operations of the war. He was here, also, in 1862, aetlng as a volunteer aid on General McClellan’s staff on the Peninsula. He Is a warm and devoted friend of the Union cause, and accom panies too army in Its movements with toe sympa thy . of a brother, as well as with toe olose observa tion of a skilful military critic. He will visit some of the principal arsenals and fortifications In the North before retaining to Europe. Some nine years ago Mrs. Henry Spenoer, of Betolem, Conn., lost her poeketrhook, oontaining botween seoo and $7OO in notes and bills, while shopping in Waterbary, and nothing was ever heard from It until a few days ago, when she re ceived a letter from a Catholic priest in-OU Olty, Pa., requesting her to describe the lost property; which she did. She was soon after rejoiced to have the same returned, just as It was lost, excepting that a portion of the Mils had been ohangedto greenbaote. uf-wMoh-she dldnet eomplaln. ... —A correspondent ol the Herald, speaking of toe Italian minister to our Government, says.: “Hone of the foreign ministers at Washington have been mere consistent mid earnest friends of the United States Government, in Its struggle with the slave, holders’ rebellion, than the Minister of Italy, Com mander J. Bertinatti. His not calling at tbe State Department to offer his congratulations an Monday last was simply -owing to his absence from Wash ington, being on that very day engaged In this city in cementing still closer the relations of amity be tween toft country and Italy, by uniting himself lu marriage to an American lady.” The American skater, Jackson Haynes, at St. Petershnrgh, gave an exhibition of his prowess on toe 24t0 nit., which drew him 1,600 rubles.

At the Important mo ment, when the rebels were regaining what they had lost, the brigade of Gob. Oollls arrived, and were ordered at once Into tbe. works. In a few mo meats the order to charge was given, and with the gallant Oollls In the load, the brigade, the 114th Re giment having the advance, dashed ahead, and drove the Johnnies and took a number of prisoners.

At the dawn of day the line was again forined and the advance was commenced “ On to Petersburg.” At 6 o’clbek theH4th was the first to enter, followed quickly bythe remainder of the brigade. General Oollls took his flag through several streets and planted It on the Court House amid the most deafening shouts of the soldiers. At 1 o’clock on the same day the brigade returned to City Point, well satisfied with having “done the State some service.” While on their return, the 114th Regi ment, dressed in their fancy uniform (red predomi nating), was cheered by every brigade as the “red legs.” .The brigade, as will be observed, arrived at the very moment the emergency demanded assist ance, and achieved the vlotory.
