FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1865.
PEACE NEAR AT HAND.
A Tery important official gazette from
Secretary Stanton arrived in this city last
night. It stated that the War Department,
after consultation with the Lieutenant
General, had come to the determination
that all recruiting should be stopped—that
all purchases of arms, ammunition, and
quartermasters’ and commissary supplies
shall be curtailed, and the onerous expenses
of our military establishment shall be re
duced in all its branches —that the number
of general and staff officers shall also be
reduced—and lastly, that all military re
strictions upon trade and commerce shall
be removed. As soon as these measures
can be put in operation it will be made
known by public orders. Let us frankly
say that we are gratified to find our pre
vision respecting the Draft unjustified by
the event.
We sincerely trust that the Lieutenant
General is right, as we believe he must be,
from the fact that a special despatch from
our Washington correspondent announces
that General Lee is about to visit John
ston, with the view of inducing him to
stay further bloodshed. If so, the war will
indeed be at an end. The rebellion will
have collapsed even more speedily than it
begun. _• -
The Verdict of History.
The publication of the official documents
and correspondence discovered in the new
ly-deserted mansions of the dignitaries of
the Confederacy sheds a flood of light upon
the internal machinery of their Govern
ment. We are shown how the pestilent
heresy of ultra State rights doctrines has
clogged their movements and thus acted as
a partial antidote to the poison it endea
vored to infuse into our national organiza
tion. The beggared state of their finances
is exposed by their inability to meet such
imperative obligations as the payment of
their troops, by their desperate expedients
to obtain money through petty exactions,
semi-commercial ventures in cotton and
tobacco, and forced loans, as well as by
the enormous financial estimates necessi
tated by the decline in the nominal value
of their wretched Government currency.
The suffering of the people they have
nearly ruined, is .depicted in the piteous
appeals for relief addressed from all quar
ters, dictated by almost every imaginable
shade and shape of misery, 'and by the cold
and empty responses to these wails of agony.
They have not only starved their prisoners,
but they have persisted in a contest in
volving in its . continuation the destitution
of whole States and the impoverishment of
millions of their misguided countrymen.
They have not only “robbed the cradle
and the grave ” to replenish their armies ;
they have not only driven many thousands
Of unwilling conscripts to bloody tombs,
but they have darkened the homes of these
brave men by leaving their inmates ex
posed to gnawing hunger and to the at
tacks of troops embittered, by recollections
of the conflagration of Ghambersburg.
The Richmond conspirators will live in
history as the authors of more misery than
anyftyrants of past ages.
*'3§£ile the whole American people have
Ig numbered among their victims,
ffc most fearful blows have &llen
troche citizens of the South. Their
th« 1 ’-.baa been deeply injurious
cfsu ® ie * r friendship has been
man, fatal to their supporters. The
of Humanity has never recorded a
tbn event with more heartfelt gratitude
.an the victory which drove them, like
trembling fugitives, from the scene of their
'greatest triumphs and of their bloodießt
crimes.
The Young Antons.
After a long, bitter, and wearing sick
ness, the- nation has, for the last twelve
months, ‘ been slowly recovering. And, as
invariably occurs with youth, ho sooner
has her health, been partially re established
than, her strength re-developes itself with
marvellous rapidity. When the warm and
rushing blood df age becomes colder, and
slackens in its flow, disease will leave it
incapable of recuperation or that recupe
ration will come, so slowly and haltingly
that, friendship feels the next struggle must,
in all probability, be its last. With the
young it is different. Their arteries are
accurtomed to the quick current of the
gladness and power of life. Though they
be stricken to the earth by the blow of
sickness, when, under the hand of the skilful
physician, they return into the world, the
blood leaps more vigorously through their
veins, their chests expand, and sinew and
muscle knit anew with a more vigorous
life and a fresher sense of existence
They seem to realize the'confidence of vi
tality as they had never done before, and
plunge into the active. stream of being
around; and before them; with a strength fit
to 'battle against those waves that, but a
few days or weeks since, they would have
avoided with a feeling more than akin to
fear. . t
§o isit with Ourßelves. _ '
We have gone through a frightful .strug
gle f6t national a life as that we
had heretofore known—-which has welLnigh
thrown us helpless and dying upon the
barren shore, to appeal in wain to that
Heaven who onl/helps the strong of arm
and the bold of heart. ~
Luckily, our youthful vitality was strong
within us. \
it has definitively subdued the peril
which threatened ; |}hr : Ijhperial existence
■with dissolution, ; aithough the rebel-,
lion has not yet
strength has been *p r &tuhed: tand
that the termination of the wdr fe’disttoetty
visible, and we feel ourselves emerging
from it, with our vigor increased and our
brain' and bone and flesh healthier and
"more robust than they have ever before
been.
We are fast developing a more potent
and & far stronger Nationality, while our
Government places upon record the com
pleter manhood it feels on emerging from
that terrible contest in which it jjiaa: feqen
for the past four years -struggling -against
Treason, in the hourly danger of Death. '
Where,; and in what manner, has it ex
hibited its recovered health and strength ?
We can honestly say with an intense
delight that this was shown in the
proclamation issued by the President on
last Tuesday and published in Thu Panes
■On Wednesday last This proclamation
declared- explicitly and unmistakably that
our vessels of war “ have been refused in
certain foreign ports privileges and immu
nities to which they were entitled by
treaty, public law, or the comity of na
tions, at the same time that vessels of war
Of the country wherein the said privileges
and immunities have been withheld, have
enjoyed them fully and uninterruptedly in
ports of the United Stateß.” It then con
tinues, after a candid statement that “ this
-condition of things has not been forcibly
resisted" heretofore—if, after a reasonable
timehaßelapsed, “the said privileges and
immunities shall continue to be so refused,t
then and thenceforth the same privileges
and immunities .shall be refused to the
vessels of war of that country in the ports
of the United States.” Temperate and
stately in its form, this proclamation is the
most tangible evidence of restored and
vigorous health that our national life could
have given. It tells all Europe, and more
especially England and Prance, that we
both feel and know our strength. It bids
them do us justice, if they would that we
should continue their friends. Nay! It does
more. |t declares to them in a calm but
determined manner that during the period
of national danger which we have under
gone we have not been blind—that we
know the" exact measure of the treatment
to which* we have been subjected by
them, and have decided upon retaliation
unless the whole course of their conduct
be at once changed.
It 'says plainly, "As you do to us, will
we do unto you.” Nor will they dare sup-
pose that the young Antceus of the West
ern World, who has again risen the strong
er from that earth upon which he had been
thrown some few years since, will be slow
to carry out his determination.
Before the threatening cloud upon the
horizon, though it be no bigger than a'
man’s hand, they will retire and doubt.
If they do not grant ns that justice which
we demand from them, they feel convinced
that this cloud wilT expand, and over
spread the whole of the Western Heaven,
hearing in its womb the levin and the
thunder of that vast strength which has
been given us by God, in the midst Of one
of the most Titanic convulsions that ever
threatened to destroy the living vigor of a
young nation.. Let them have a care and
look to -it. As they deal with us, will
they be dealt with. And they shall be
called to a strict and just account for the
injuries which they have done ns. Let us
be glad, then, that the night of onr suffer-''
ing has passed away, and that as a young
giant we can now, once more, safely and
fearlessly command Justice from all Man
kind. . i
Port Sumpter and the Old Flag.
To-day the glorious Flag- of the Union
which had waved undimmed and untar
nished for so many years, until the foul
stain of an unjustifiable and unholy Rebel
lion had sullied its folds, will again
float over the walls from which the
originators of the Rebellion had tom it.
On this very day it is also hoped that the
second great army of the Rebellion will
have laid down its arms. The nation has
reason in its joy to thank the Almighty
that he has so completely blessed its un
tiring and unfaltering faith in His justice.
The Mexican Happy Family.
It must be admitted that the position of
the Austrian Maximilian in Mexico is a
peculiarly embarrassing one. The members
of his Cabinet, Ms'official servants, and Ms
army are, we will not say, composed fro®
every nation under the sun, but a very fair
sprinkling of the odds and ends of different
nationalities.
The necessary consequence is that every
man is jealous of every other man, and
that which one Official does is counteracted
by some other; consequently, official busi
ness has its ordinary delay in other coun
tries at least quadrupled Monsieur, or
Senor, or Herr—we know not which is his
right appellation— Elvin rules the Cabi
net, and alone has constant personal access
to the Emperor. In any other imperial or
monarchical country he would, of course,
be. the supreme power. Unfortunately for
his natural wish to be the controlling influ
ence in Mexico, Marshal Bazaine is the
head of the French army, and exercises a
control perfectly independent of the Minis
ter. If he chooses it, the will of M. Elvin
is literally of no account. He can undo
theravelled knots of diplomacy by a word
—nay, set his heel upon the last appoint
ments, eschew ministerial policy, and dic
tate his own or that of his master. The
Austrians in Mexico detest the French, and
the French despise the Austrians. But be
hind these comes the discontented section
of the nation. -A native cabal, which'
we may call 'Mexico proper, detests
both the French and' Austrian oc
cupants of the country. TMs section
adores Jttakez, and hates foreigners. Hot
a day passes without some difficulty. How
there ,is a quarrel between the Austrians
and the French. Then there is a quarrel
of the Mexicans with the Austrians, or by
the Freneh with the Mexicans, or possibly
of all three together' A pistol-bullet or a
stab with a bayonet or knife may he ex
changed—the military police arrive, and
the matter is hushed up, only to occur
again upon the morrow.
In short, we may at any moment hear
that the Austrians or French have been
massacred by the Mexicans, or that the
foreigners have bayonetted the lovers of
Jhabez, or cut each other’s throats. Maxi
milian, to-day an Emperor, supported by
foreign steel, may be to-morrow a fugitive,
without a euarto in his pocket. Should it
chance thus, we shall be contented. It will
save us a good deal ! of future trouble, and
be most consoling to .the. national treasury.
We shall be able to attend to other and
more pressing affairs, and shall offer our
most grateful thanks to Providence for its
more than benign dispensation-
“ Our.,Neighbor General Grant.”
We have received a communication from
one of the residents Of the western part of
Chestnut street, who complains of the ter
ribly unclean condition of the street in. the
rear of his house, which is in the same
row with the one presented to Lieutenant
Gen. Gbakt. He very pertinently writes:
“ Cannot the carts come up to our beauti
ful partof the city ? As our neighbor, Gen.
Grant, will be likely to look all over his
premises, which are now being prepared
for hie occupation, should hot , this nui
sance be removed before he. .comes?’’’
,As our Washington correspondent an
nounces that the Lieutenant General wiU
start for this city to-day, we fear that if he
visits'his future residence he willhave.to
stand the nuisance this time. - But let hot
pnly this,' but every back ‘ street in the
city he thoroughly : cleansed at once, for
the public health, as well as that of our
neighbor General Grant, will irareiy sniff i
fer. if the present state of affairs should ‘
continue. "
The Gala-ftf Victory,
i Prom the which are now
under way for-the illumination on Monday
night we anticipate a' fine display. Our
citizens have experienced such joy on the
reception Of. the; glorious nevrs ;that- they
gladly seize an opportunity td'give vent to
their-feelings by a great public demonstra
ting. , Easter : Monday, is at all times.a
general holiday, but this year it will be
made aperfeet earnivgl. The happy indi
cations of rapidly-approaching peace give
additional zest to the'occasion, and Phila
delphia will devote itself, heart and soul,
to the gala of victory. If General Grant
should arrive, as we hear he will, we hope
that he will .remain, and, by his presence
amongst us, increase the general enthu
siasm. , - - .” ■
Death' of Colonel William. Sergeant.
i It is With deep and sincere regret that
we chronicle the death of Colonel ' Wil
liam Sergeant, who died;' on Tuesday
last, from the effects of a wound received
on the 31st of March, 'near Petersburg.
Little doubt had been entertained of Ms
recovery by his family. Indeed, he had
lately written to them respecting Mmself,
in the most hopeful manner. -However,'
on the day we have mentioned, he quitted
this life, while on board of the boat from
City Point,
Colonel Sergeant was no more than 35
years of age, and was a son of our distia
guished( fellow-citizen, the late Hon. John
Sergeant, as well as a brother of Mrs.
Meade, the wife of the General. He held
himself a prominent position amongst us,
having been , originally educated for the
bar, and,buta few, years since, amemberof
the State Legislature. Having volunteered
close upon the commencement of the war, he
received a captaincy in the 12th United
States Infantry, and/ was noticed for Ms
gallantry in the Peninsular and the other
campaigns in wMch he participated. As a
natural result, he subsequently was called
to. the position of colonel of the 210th Re
giment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. With
tMs regiment he has encountered some of
the most arduous duties in this campaign
being as remarkable for Ms personal brave
ry as he was for the military talent which
he had developed—until he received the
wound wMch was destined so soon to bear
him to the grave. As a man he was gene
rous to a fault, wMle he was gentle and
open-hearted. Possessing a thorough edu-.
cation, he was distinguished by the posses
sion of great ability. His body has been
brought to the residence of Ms mother in
our own city, WMle he leaves his widow
and a young family to bewail Ms loss; We
deplore with them his sudden but honor
able death, in wMch regret we shall be
sympatMzed with by thousands of Ms per
sonal friends.
IjETTER FROM «OCCASIONAL.”
Washingtok, April 12, 1865.
What the President said last evening
from the windows of the White House
harnowbeen read and re-read by hum.
dreds of thousands of his countrynien.
It was proper that thoughts so weighty
from a source so authoritative should be
published at once in the organs of public
opinion. Thanks to the telegraph and the
printing press, these important suggestions
are already before all who have eyes to read
or ears to hear. Affecting every class and
condition, and every section of our country,
and looked for with impatient anxiety,
they will be closely analyzed and discussed.
When Grant crushed the shell of the
egg- of Treason, and scattered the foul
birds that were hatching it, there rose in”
every mind such questions as, What is to
be the next step ? What course will be
taken by the President? by Congress?
by the Union party? and by the Demo
cratic party? Will the rebel masses be
forgiven ? Will the rebel leaders be shot
or hanged? What is to become of am
nesty, confiscation, disfranchisement for
treason, &c. ? Hut, while everybody
waß asking and trying to answer these
interrogatories, each to his own satisfac
tion, there was nobody who, in such a
strait, could “talk by the book” except
the Chief Magistrate. And when Lieute
nant General Grant spoke, good men grate
fully accepted the construction, that iu
his. dealings with Lee he was prompted
by the counsel, if not by the pre
sence, of the President! But nobody
could know this ; and Mr. Lincoln him
self, though always free and plain of
speech, never dropped a syllable to indi
cate that he had a hand in it. At an early
moment, after his return from Richmond,
however, (and a most happy one for the
Republic,) the President told the throng
ing and joyous citizens who offered him
thfeir thanks and congratulations, that on
Tuesday evening he would tell them what
be thought of the momentous civil .situa
tion and the heavy obligations devolving
upon himself and the people. You. will
recollect that on repeated occasions, in
this correspondence, I stated that
the time would come when we should
*be constrained to meet the question
of “reconstruction,” or “reunion,”
call it what you may, as statesmen
and patriots, and not as bigots and
partisans. And also, that when the rebels
were defeated, and had surrendered, the
demand for Peace would be upon us,
and that no party could exist that stood,
in the way of Buch an adjustment as would
be harmonious -with Mr, Lincoln’s known
opinions and characters' Ho people ever
voted to re-elect a President with a better
fore-knowledge, so- to speak, of his pur
posgs on paramount questions. He had
never concealed Ms thoughts, when, for
the general good, he deemed it right to pro
claim them ; and this he has done without
offence to those who. thought differently,
yet resolved not to be deterred in' the per
formance Of his conscientious, and, as he
understood them, his constitutional duties.
And now the hour has come when Ms ex
amplfe Will reconcile the worst antagonisms
and-solder anew and forever the bonds that
henceforward hold us one people. You
have published his speech. No pro
duction ever -needed less explanation.
Even those who may not approve it
wjll not deny to it the merit of being
lucid, frank, and plain—so. plain that
the humblest may understand it, and yet
so instinct with sterling pMlosephy as to
challenge the criticism of the highest. I
do not exaggerate when I tell you that I
have not heard, nor indeed heard of, any
one who is resolved to oppose the remedies
suggested in ttds speech. That there will
be protests and criticisms is to be expected.
No such disease as the rebellion can be
cured at once—-and no physician, however
gifted, can expect to find the true remedy ;
in an bquf, or to induce all men to be
lieve in Ms skill.' And the Mends of the
Administration should recollect that if
this is a trying hour to the Government,
and to the President,- it is the period
when ihp shoald.t&ke care not to allow
dissensionPlb' creep into their councils.
Thep’resident has taken his stand for no
light or transient reasons, and he cannot'
be easily shaken from Ms position, unless
he should he weakened by troubles in his own
house. His policy is hot a party policy,
and yet Ms party should cordially (and I
predict they will),, sustain it. Indeed, his
argument cannot be successfully at
tacked in any quarter, and not cer
tainly by any loyal / man who yearns
for an honorable peace. There was
,in the short response of Senator Har
lany of lowa, the new Secretary of the In
terior, a world ofmeaning. Mr. Harlan acts
now, and has always acted, with what are
called the “ radicals” in Congress and in
Ms own State; and no doubt, what he said
last night is a true reflection of the feelings
of most of these men. The conditions of
peace are laid down in broad and distinct'
characters, and they are not cumbered
with threats of a savage vengeance that
can never be realized. Why demand what
we cannot obtain, and ask for a " retalia
'tion” we .ioUl. not execute? I- am as
anxious to see the rebel leaders, those
'demons in human shape, who have con
; verted the fairest domain in the world into
a 1 howling desolation,- and ridged with •
graves every State North and South—l
-am as anxious to see these demons doomed
,to -unutterable shame, and unbroken and
Unrepeatable banishment; but lam also
anxious to see my country restored to its
former strength and glory—to see slavery
; forever great debt reduced—
our mighty industries" once more vitalized,
and our commerce with the nations of the
'earth, renewed. We have no: time to give
to vengeance,-now that we have vindicated
our Government, defeated the rebellion,
and consolidated a great party around our
faithfut CMef Magistrate. Let us take Ms
counsel, , and dbnfide in him as we have
heretofore done, and the end of the war
will be endless peace and prosperity.
The Income .Tax on Dividends, dec.
We would call the special attention of
our readers to the following important let
ter from Commissioner Lewis.- It is upon
which will be specially interest
ing to our. moneyed mb’n, while it must be
of vita), importance to'that section of the
community whose small fortunes are in
vested in the modes to wMch it particular
ly refers :
Treasury Department,
Oppiob op Intbbnai. Revenue,
Washington, April ri, 1865.
Sib : I deem. It proper, In view of the pending as
sessment of the Income tax, to call your eapeolal
attention to those changes jn the 116th andTlTth
sections of the Revenue Law whloh relate to the
tax upon income derived ftom hank dividends, In
terett upon railroad bonds, &c.
Under former laws yon will remember that In
come derived, from these sources, upon whloh a
tax had been paid direotly to this offloe, was de
ducted from the gross Income of the tax-payer
while by the act of March 3, 1865, It Is .provided
that, In ascertaining the income or any person
liable to an Income tax, the amount received ftom
Institutions whose officers, as required by law,
withhold a per centum of the dividends made by
such Institutions, and pay the same to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, or other officer
authorized to reoelve the same, shall be lnolulled;
ana the amount so withheld ahull he deducted front the
tax which otherwiae would be assessed upon such per •
son.
Although, sections I2o»nd 122 dearly contem
plate that the Government shall receive five per
-cent, of the whole amount paid out by any of the
oompanles enumerated on aooount of dividends or
Interest upon bonds, It has-been contended by some
oompanles that as they were merely authorized and
not required to withhold the tax.from snob divi
dends or interest, It was competent for them to pay
the tax and charge the same to their expense
aoeonnt, and make the payment to the stockholder
or bondholder free of tax. The result of this con
struction la to give the Government five dollars
for every hundred dollars paid to the stockholder
or bondholder, Instead of five dollars for every
ninety-five dollars thus paid.
This view has been Insisted upon by some com
panies, and they have consequently refused to
withhold the tax from theft dividends, and have
paid to this offloe but 5-105th of the amount actually
appropriated to their dividends, Instead of 5-100,
as Is plainly Intended by the law. /
'Where any.oompahy has thus refused to with
hold the tax ftom Its dividends, it Isblear that the
provision quoted above ftom seotlon 116 has no
application, and you will therefore be particular to
'inquire as to this point, whenever any tax-payer
olalms a deduction ftpm his Income tax upon this

account. If It appears that the tax has not been
withheld the deduction should not be allowed.
It should be home In mind, however, that It has
been the practice with some companies to deolare
their dividends nominally free of tax, while In
reality the tax has been withheld tad fully paid
to this office; that Is to Bay, if the stockholder has
received ninety-five dollars and the Government
five dollars, or if the stockholders has received
one hundred dollars and the Government five
dollars and twenty-Blx cents, the tax has been prac
tically withheld, whatever name may have been
given to the transaction. If, on tho other hand,
the stockholder has received one hundred dollars,,
and the Government but five dollars, the tax has
not been withheld, and no deduction should be al
lowed, The same principles will apply to the ease
of dividends paid prior to the passage of the act of
June 80, 1864.
If yon are unable to ascertain the manner in
whloh payment has been made by any institution
to any of Its stockholders resident In your district,
yon oan obtain lull Information by communicating
with this office. Very respectfully,

CSpecial Despatches to The Piess. 1
The Gapltol, the Executive Mansion, and the Go
vernment departments and offices, together with
the City Hall,' were again illuminated to-night.
Plaoes of business, Including the hotels sad tele
graph and newspaper offices, and very many private
residences, biased with gas and oandles. Even per
sons heretofore evidently sympathising with the
rebellion followed the patriotic example. National
Sags, various colored lanterns, transparencies, and
other designs were everywhere profusely displayed.
The illumination was more general and dazzling
than ever-before. Bands of music were in attend
ance at several of the departments, playing patriotic
alls, and rockets and bonfires were among the ex
hibitions, The numerous avenues and streets Were
crowded with spectators, everybody seeming to be
delighted with the outward manifestations of joy
beeause of the recent victories, and the; promise
which they give of an early.peaoe.
Previous to the outbreak of the present rebellion
a journeyman printer named’ADAM T. Oavis went
&om Philadelphia to South Carolina, to try his
fortune. In the course of time he rose from the
“ case” to the position of editor and proprietor of a
newspaper in that State. At the conuKeneement of
the war he eagerly espoused the oause of the South,
and, until the subjugation of South Carolina by
Shebman, was a zealous supporter' of the treason
able schemes of the Hlchmond Government. This
same individual is now in Washington, with his
family, begging assistance from his former friends
and acquaintances, with an assurance delightfully
refreshing.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE DRAFTED,
You have from time to time, In your columns,
spoken of tho laudable efforts of the wards
to get themselves “ out of Hie draft.” I
suppose that most Of them have succeeded,
but I know that some of tho districts—the
First and Second, I think—have undergone
the ordeal of “the wheel.” The poor fellows who
were drafted, having no taste for war, preferring to
“snuff the battle from afar,” ought to be jubilant
over the gazette of Secretary Stanton,' which will
be published to-morrow. It Is readily Reducible
from the order contained in the gazette that they
are released, for surely no distinction will be made
between districts. Some have been drafted and
some have not. It would be unjust to allow those
undrafted to escape their proper contribution to the
army, when others have rendered It.

WASHINGTON, April 13, -Correspondence ftom
the Army of the Potomac says that very little
fighting took place on the rth Inst, at Farmvllle.
There was some skirmishing between 0« enemy's
rearguard and the 2d Corps, with the 2d Division
of cavalry, the result being nnlmportanLLeehad
Intended to fall back to Danvffle, but betog
by our forces gettlng to Barkeavfflefftat,he changed
his course and started towards Lynchburg- Part
of his army passed through Farmvffle on the
morning of the 7th. Alter crossing the Appo
mattox the bridges were burned, and before our
troops could get over, the enemy had taken a
position a mile from the river, where they erected
works and made a stand, In order to allow their
wagon train to get out oi tho way. 4
On this side of the river, just ouMdeofthetown
a division of oavalry had taken up a
mined to annoy our advance while reconstructing
the bridge. The 8d Division, under Gen. Crook,
attacked them vigorously, driving them back some
distance, but they had a force dismounted lying In
ambush, wMchpoured aseverefirelntoour man as
they advanced to the second attack, and they were
compelled to fall back on their supports. The loss
on both sides was very Bght. The 2d Corps soon af
ter crossed, and pushing on after the enemy, drove
them behind newly built breastworks. Gen. bmyth
was severely; ano, it is believed, mortally wounded,
In leading the oharge. -
This was a sad' loss to the command, and every
man In It feels the loss as a personal one. A more
gallant soldier never served Ms country, aud he not
only ranked high for bravery on the field, but as a
gentleman and a friend he was beloved by all who
trie whim. *
The Ices in the 2d Corps during the day will be
some one hundred and fifty men, mostly of Smyth’s
brigade. ,In the morning, before the enemy crossed
the river, twelve guns were taken from them, and
afterwards six more, making eighteen during the
day, and about 2 000 prisoners. The number of
prisoners taken on the 6th is put down at 7.700, al
most entirely of Kershaw’s and Custls Leo’s divi
sions.
The correspondent, after giving farther details of
events, but whfeh have mainly been published
through official-sources, says the field where the
surrender-took place was almost covered with the
enemy’s dead, all of them nearly bring shot In the
head and upper part of the body. The posf tlou was
a very favorable one for them, but our artillery had
good range on an adjoining hill, aud our men
charged up the ascent with such Impetuosity that
some were bayoneted before they left their light
breastworks. The road for miles was strewn with
broken down wagons, oatssons, and baggage of all
kinds, presenting a scene seldom witnessed os the
part of Lee’s army. Our loss on the ath wilt sum
up about one thousand to killed and wounded, the
6th Corps suffering heaviest.
. Another letter, dated on the evening of the Bth,
says: Stragglers.are found scattered ail along the
line of march, and as the troops pass they come in
and surrender themselves, expressing their deter
mination to fight no longer, as they consider the re
belllon as good as over. Four guns were brought
In tMs morning, besides a long train of ambulances,
many containing wounded, who were plaoed in hos
pital and cared tor.
Gen. Gordon sentfonr Surgeons through the Dues
this afternoon, asking that they he allowed to min
ister to the wants of those left beMnd on the road,
but as we have plenty of such help they will be re
turned to their army In the morning.
Gen. Hayes was relieved from Ms command of
the 2d Division of the 2d Corps yesterday for tardi
ness In moving hls command in obedience to orders.
Another, letter, dated the 9th of April, says: Not
withstanding the correspondence between Generals
Grant and Lee, yesterday, wMoh led all to expect
a formal surrender tMs morning, the latter exerted
ail Ms energies to escape the net laid for him. He
matched rapidly all yesterday afternoon and eve
ning', until he ran. against Sheridan at Appomattox
Court House, when a sharp fight ensued, resulting
in the capture of a number of prisoners, and the
cheeking of Dheir retreat. The 24th and sth Corps
were close up in support of the cavalry, and during
the night took up a strong position across the mala
road, and on the south Bide of the Appomattox river
on the north, cutting them off from retreat in that
direction. Early this morning Sheridan attacked,
vigorously, and for some time a brisk engagement
was carried on.
About 9 A, M. a flag of truce appeared in front of
his Hno, and he w* B Informed that hostilities had
been suspended, to order to arrange terms of sur
render. This was caused by an agreement made by
General Lee consenting to a cessation of firing, so
os to communicate'with General Grant, and was
done, It Is said, without proper authority. General
Sheridan’s adjutant general was allowed to come
through the rebel column to communicate with
Gonetal Meade, who stated that he knew of no such
arrangement, and that he waß about to move for
ward in accordance with Ms previous instructions.
General Lee, however, sent another message, desir
ing to have an Interview with'General Grant, to ar
range the terms of surrender, and General Meade
was thus obliged to grant a two hours’ armistice in
order to communicate with General Grant, who
had moved around to the left during the night.
The two hours expired without any result, and the
Lieut,. Col. Whittier, of General Wright’s staff,
came In'and reported the terms arranged and the
papers signed, when the greatest excitement pre
vailed throughout our lines, cheer upon Cheer rend
iDg th«/air. Soon after General Meade and staff;
witkother officers,-rode along the line of the 2d-and
ath Corps, an’dJthey were greeted with the most en
thnsiastfo shouts, the men throwing their hats to
the air, and fairly .dancing with joy. No such, scene
ha# ever-before'been witnessed in,this army, and
the thanks-*f-ths wJholo Country" Are jJaerin tim
brave men and their heroic commanders, who have
achieved such a great and glorious victory.
- it is understood that the men or Lee’s army are
to he paroled and allowed to return to their homes.
They give up everything In their hands, but last
night they destroyed large amounts of property in
the shape of wagons, gun-carriages, baggage, pa
pers, &c. The number of Lee’s forces Is put down
at about twenty thousand men- Very few guns are
In their possession, as they have abandoned nearly
all they did not lose in aotlon. Thirty-eight were
brought In yesterddy, and several this morning.
The rank and file of Leo’s army are said to he
well satisfied to give up the struggle, believing that
they’have no hope of suoeeSß; but if Gen. Lee had
refused to surrender they would still have stuck to
him. The officers mainly are surly and discon
tented, but tMs feeling will soon’ wear off when
they find how liberally our people are disposed to
treat them.
Another letter from the Army of the Potomac,
dated April 12, says: The final , arrangements for
theisnrrehder of Lee’s army were completed yes
terday, and to-day they are at liberty to proceed to
. their homes or elsewhere, as they choose. The
.terms granted were: certainly of a .very .liberal
character.’ A'large number of officers, together
with; thousands of the men of this army, express
their dlsßatlSfiotJon,. not only at the unpre
cedented liberality granted to the Army of
Northern-Virginia, but at-the manner In whloh
they were paroled and allowed to go their way,
wlthout our men being permitted to ;enjoy tho re
sults of their long struggle In thepassage through
the lines of General Lee and his, army; but ft. Is
claimed rills would have been humlllatlng to Gene
ral Leetand Ms officers, and that It Is not the wish
ordealre of our Government or commanders to aot
toward thein in any way that would tend to irritate ‘
their feelings or make their position more intolera
ble than it actually is. The policy pursued may
have been for the best, and our soldiers win submit,
as : they always do, to what is judged most wise.
During Sunday night and Mondayjarge numbers
of the rebels, as well as some officers,'made thrar
escape from the lines and scattered through the
■ woods, many, no doubt, intending to return home.
Our oamps last night were filled with them, begging
SometMng to eat, whloh, of course, was freely given.
These men, when asked if they had been paroled,
in variably replied “No,” hut were allowed to go

' The Whig, commenting on the address to the peo
ple of Virginia, says:
It is understood that.thls Invitation has been put
forth to pursuance bfclhe plan of proceedings as
sented to by President Lincoln. At all events It
will be held by the great body of the people of Vir
ginia as the first seep towards the reinstatement of
the Old Dominion In the Union. It Is possible that
some of the members of the Legislature may decline
to come. In every such case the people of the ooun
ty*or Senatorial district should select some influ
ential and intelligent citizen who is willing to take
part in this business, and commission him, as far
as they can, to represent them at the conference.
The views and purposes of the members of the Legis
lature should be ascertained at once. Every one
can see difficulties to the way of final action to the
beginning. Several complex questions are to be
met at the beginning. But where there’s a will
there's a way, and whatever the difficulties pre
sented the important business must be undertaken.
The report concerning the health of Mrs. General
Bobert E. Lee, extensively circulated yesterday,
is, we learn, entirely unfounded. Mrs. Lee Is to
as good health as she has been to for twelve months
fast, and the stories of her serious Indisposition
ad their origin to the brain of idle goßslps. We
derive this Information from a source entirely re
liable.

Protection Is hereby extended to all churches and
places of public worship. Religious services may
bo continued without Interruption as In times of
profound peace. This protection must not, however,
Be perverted for the utterance to any form of wor
ship of treasonable sentiments or expressions.
When thus perverted It will be withdrawn. In all
churches where prayers have heretofore been offered
tor the so-called President of the Confederate
States, a similar mark of respect Is hereby or
dered to be paid to the President of the United
States.
By command of Maj Gen. G. Weltzel,

We learned yesterday, upon what we consider
good authority, that Gen. Wm. H. F. Lee had not
been killed, as reported. His family here learn that

Fort Sumpter <u><i the OldATag.
■rue flag which was lowered la deftat over tw
forttfieations defending Charleston Is to be
over their rains to-day. Then they were uninjured
and Btrong; now, as the subjoined relates, after fow
years of treasonable possession, the ohlet or then
all is a pile of shapeless rains. It is from the pen
of the editor of the Baltimore American:
“The amount of work done to keep up the derea.
slve power ol Fort Sumpter has been Immense t 0,,.
Inside and outside of the walls. On the angle of
fort where the Dupont attack was made, anil which
had never afterwards been reached by our shell?
the outside marks are deep and effective, and auW
the lower casemates Umber-supports were ereotM
to sustain the walls, which are oraoked and broken
’ to an astonishing extent.
“Fort Sumpter, tom being aatounense btha
fortlfieaUon, has been gradually transforme j lm?
an Immense and powerful earthwork. About a
dozen of Its casemate guns are still Intact, lm
though It could not now tout forth Its broadeiaS
as It did on the monitor floet. whsn atfacksd it
Admiral Dupont, B was enabled to efieetualli
protect the line of obstructions between Sumnui
and Moultrie, and protest Itself tom assaup
Even If an assaulting party should have effac-af
a lodgment, lb Is evident that it was the rebel
Intention to retire to their bomb-proofs, use thi
rifle from the loop-holes,and allow the surra,,„ ,
tog rebel works to pour shot and shell intsTd
fort until the assailants should be compelled V„
retire. The Immense parade ground In the cent'-
Is perTeotly clear of rubbish, and as you stand h
Its centre and look up at the surrounding
lation, it strongly reminds you of the visa trim
the centre of the amphitheatre of the Coliseum „
Rome. After spending about an hour amen*
historic ruins of Sumpter, we crossed over
van’s Eland, to vlelt Fort Moultrls and its ooari«,'
bus works, extending several miles above and baS
the old fort—lncluding Battery Beaur«g W d li:,
toy Bee, Fort Ripley, and a host of others, moun,
tog more than a hundred guns, among whisk w«,*
a number of English inahuraeture, and ooeir~m
the wreck of the Keokuk, tho fellow of whj.h u
mounted on the Charleston battery. These won.-,
are In fine condition, and but few of the goes
spiked. The magazines are filled with powoer £,7
immense piles of shot and shell are stress wound
every direction. Marks of shells from the IronsMu
and the monitors are visible to and around old Fort
Moultrie, in front of which the wrecks of a down or
more blockade-runners are visible, which had b =e 2
grounded and destroyed by our fleet. The old
trie House, and nearly all the cottages which once
beautified Sullivan’s Island, have either disappears
or are to ruins, and Moultrieville Is, to reality, no
more. This was formerly the favorite summer re.
SOI t of the Charlestonians,-but now presents a moat
desolate and forbidding aspect. We walked for a
mile or more through these immense .works, inter,
apersed by bomb-proofs, not less than twenty teet
Ugh, the raising of which to this flat and sandy
country must have been a work of great magnitude.
The sand Is held Arm by a heavy sodding of peat
from the on some of which a
heavy green Ullage has,made Its appearance.
“ Alter leaving Moultrie we Mossed the harbor t»
James Island, on that point of which Is Fort John
son, a work nearly as large and formidable as tho-a
on Sullivan’s Eland. The line of the work is ala.
gantiy constructed, and extends nearly two ni!«
up the shore of the Inlet, with heavy abattis in
front. There are other works connecting wl:h it
extending nearly five miles from the harbor, m >nati
tog, to all, about'one hundred guns. To garri
son these and the surrounding works must 1:1,5
been required not less , than ten thousand mu.
The quantities of powder and ammun'-.i-a
strewn about are Immense, and, with the ex,;*,
tion of splkingaome of the gims, little or ns dents - 8
has been done to anyjpart of the works. Some of
the gun-carriages have been hacked with axes, b,t
the workmen appear to have got tired before c i®.
pitting their destructive Intentions. Fort Pbek
ney, opposite the city, which, at the commence
ment of the war, was a brick work, has been banked
up with sand so that the old structure, with the ex
ception of the chimneys, Is entirely Invisible, it
now presents quite a formidable appearance, »si
would doubtless, have done good sorrioo against oar
fleet had it succeeded to passing Sumpter.”

the occasion was a very superb ofie furnished for

scientific that can he played, at the same Urns
.affording innocent amusement. The audience, how
ever, was very select, and se eflmd to appreciate ths
