THE PAST AND PEESENT.
. "When the rebellion first broke out, the
so-called Democratic leaders and presses, all
over the land, proclaimed that it was "im
possible to eon. juor the South" that the
rebels were "invincible" and "more than a
match" for the Northern troops and that
it was "too bis a contract" for the Govern
ment ever to succeed in re-establishing its
authority over the Seceded States. If the
rebels, by "the aid f the money and ships of
the aristocracies of Europe, and the encour
agement and sympathy of the Copperhead
leaders in the North, could have accomplish
ed their purposes, then, indeed, the above
predictions might have been fullilled,and the
cause of American freedom forever destroy
ed. But what is the condition of affairs at
present? Precisely the reverse of that e
uunciated by these Copperhead wiseacres !
Instead of the Ilcbels being "invincible"
they are defeated on every battle-field. The
Northern freemen are "more than a match'
for Southern .slave-drivers and traitors. And
the Government, instead of being powerless
to as:?ert its authority, is to-day sweeping
with an irresistable force through the very
heart of the rebellious territory. Truly, the
pat was thick with gloomy forebodings,
but the present is full of bright anticipa
tions. The Copperhead prophecies of evil
have all been set at naught by the bravery
and skill of our gallant soldiery, and. the
statesmanship of our National rulers ; and
soon again will the starry flag of our Gov
ernment float in triumph over every foot of
our vast domain. .
Our Victories in Mexico.
No foreign country, says the Tribune,
will receive the news of our recent victories
with greater delight than Mexico. The
momeut our rebellion is at an end the war
of the National party of Mexico against the
foreign invador will be resumed with new
vigor and enthusiasm. Jaurez is offering
to foreign volunteers very large bounties,
which, together with the patriotic wish to
aid in the expulsion of a European prince
from the Republican soil of the American
continent "will, soon after the termination
of our war place a very respectable army at
the disposal of the President of Mexico.
Gen. Jesus G.. Ortega, it is stated, has ar
rived at Santa Fe, on an important mission
to Washington. He was received with the
honors due his rank and position and his
journey through the States will likely
strengthen the sympathy which all political
parties of the Union and all classes of our
population feel in the triumph of the lie
publican cause iu Mexico:
. - Connecticut Election.
' The recent election in Connecticut has re
eulted in a most signal victory for the friends
of the Administration. In comparing the
vote of 1SU and 1865, it will be found that
there is hardly half a dozen towns in the
entire State where the Democracy have not
lost ground. The Republicans have not
only elected each of the four members of
Congress, but each of the twenty-one State
Senators. The completeness of the Re
publican victory will best appear if we com
pare the election of Monday, April 3d, with
those of proceeding years. In 1861, Gov.
Buckingham's majority was 2,0S6; in 1862,
,148; in 18G3, 2,601; in 1804, 5,658 ; and
in 1865 hid majority is 11,068. The 2d
Congressional district which two years ago
elect etl English (Deni.) by 1,030 majority,
now pives Denning (Rep.) a majority of
1,41?.' (
Death of Hon. J. T.Hale.
Hon. James T. Hale, died in Bellcfonte
on Thursday night, April 6th3 after an ill
ness of only about one week. His disease
was typhoid fever. Judge Hale presided
on the bench, in the Judicial district of
which Centre count' is a portion, and rep
resented Ids district for three terms in our
National House of' Representatives. He
was a man of more than ordinary education
and ability, a devoted patriot, and a citizen
of gre&t public enterprise and worth. The
community in which he resided can "illy af
ford to lose so good a citizen," and his sud
den death will be deeply regretted by all
who knew him.
Accident to Mr. Seward.
During the past week, while Secretary
Seward was riding out in a carriage, ac
companied by Mrs. Seward and Miss Titus,
the horses ran away, and in attempting to
jump from the carriage, Mr. Seward was
thrown to the ground with such force as to
inflict very serious injuries breaking his
right arm just below the shoulder and frac
turing his jaw. He is improving a little,
but his recovery will be very tedious. He
will probably be incapable of attending to
the duties of his office for some weeks.
QEIT. GBANT'S GHEAT CAMPAIGN !
Particulars of the righting. -
Continued from the First Page.
Occupation of Richmond.
On Monday morning, April 3d, at 3 o'clock
Gen. Weitzel learned thatRichinond was be
ing evacuated, and at daylight moved for
ward, first taking care to give his men
breakfast in the expectation that they might
have to fijrht. He met no opposition, and
on entering the city was greeted with hearty
welcomes from the mass ot the people.
The Mavor went out to meet him and to
surrender the city, but missed him on the
road. Gen. Weitzel finds much sutfenng
and poverty among the population. The
rich as well as the poor are destitute ot food.
He is about to issue supplies to all who take
the oath. The inhabitants now num ber a
bout 20,000, half of them of African descent.
It is not true that Jeff. Davis sold his
furniture before leaving. It is all in his
house, where I am now writing, lie left at
7 p. ni. by the Danville Railroad. All the
members of Congress escaped. Hunter has
gone home. Carson Smith (?) went with
the army. Judge Canipbel remains here.
Gen. Weitzel took here or.e thousand
prisoners, beside the wounded. These
number 5.000 in nine hospitals. He cap
tured cannon to the number of at least five
hundred pieces. Five thousand muskets
have been found iu one lot. Thirty locomo
tives and three hundred cars are found here.
The Petersburg Railroad bridge is totally
destroyed, that of the Danville road par
tially, so that connection with Petersburg
cannot easily be made. All the rebel ves
sels are destroyed except an unfinished ram,
which has her machinery in her perfect.
The Tredgar Works are unharmed, and the
machinery here to-day under Gen. Weitzels
order.
Libby Prison and Castle Thunder have
also escaped the fire, and aie filled with
Rebel prisoners of war. Most of the editors
have fled especially John Mitchell. The
Whig appeared yesterday as a Union paper,
with the name of the former proprietor at
the head.
Gen. Weitzel describes the reception of
thePjesident yesterday as enthusiastic in
the extreme.
Monday, April 3d.
The following Dispatch of Gen. Grant to
Secretary Stanton, Monday April 3.
"The army is pushing forward in the
hope of overtaking or di?persing the remain
der of lice's army. Sheridan with his cavalry
and the Fifth corps, is between this and the
Appomattox; General Meade, with the
Second and Sixth, following; General Old
following the line of the South Side rail
road. All of the enemy that retains any
thing like organization have gone north of
the Appomattox and are apparently head
ing fir Lynchburg, their losses having been
very heavy. The houses through the
country are nearly all used as hospitals for
wounded men. In every direction 1 hear of
rebel soldiers pushing for home, in large and
small squads, and generally without arms.
The cavalry have pursued so closely that
the enemy have been lorced to distroy prob
ably the greater yart of their transportation,
caissons and munitions of war. The num
ber of prisoners captured yesterday, will ex
ceed two thousand. From the 28th of
March to the present time our loss in killed,
wounded and captured will probably not
reach seven thousand, of whom from fifteen
huudred to two thousand are captured, and
many but slightly wounded. I shall contin
uejthe pursuit as long as there appears to
be any use in it."
The rebels on evanuating Petersburg
burned the blid.gc across the Appomattox,
the South Side Railroad depot,aud about one
million dollars worth of tobacco. The may
or the city surrendered the place. Gen. A.
P. Hill (rebel) was killed on Sunday.
Sheridan is closely pursuing the retreating
rebels.
Tuesday, April 4th.
Gen. Grant telgraphs from Nottoway
Court House as follows:
"Gen. Sheridan was on the Danville rail
road, south of Amelia Court House, and
sent word to Gen. Meade, whof was following
with the Second and Sixth Corps, by what
is known as the river road, that if the troops
could be got up in time he had hopes of
capturing or dispersing the whole of Lee's
army. L am moving with the left wing,
commanded by General Ord. by the Cox or
direct Burksville road. We will be to
night at or near Burksville.' I have had
no communication with Sheridan or Meade
to-day, but hope to hear very soon that
they have come up with and captured or
broken up the balance of the Army of
Northern Virginia. In every direction we
hear of the men of that army going home,
generally without arms. Sheridan reports
Lee at Amelia Court House to-day."
Wednesday. April 5th.
Jcttersvjllk, 3 p.m. I sentGen. Davis'
brigade this morning around 1113' left flank.
He captured at Fames' cross roads five
pieces of artillery, about two hundred wag
ons, and eight or nine- battle flags and a
number of prisoners. The Second army
corns is now cominir ui. I wish you were
here yourself. I feel confident of capturing
the Army of Northern Virginia if we exert
ourselves. I see no escape for Lee. I will
putaull my cavalry out on my left flank ex
cept M'Kenzie who is now on the right.
P. II. Sheridan, Maj. General
Bcrksvii.le, 10 p. m. VT wo divisions of
of the .twenty rourth Corps will encamp
here to-night and one division of the Twenty
Fifth Army Corps at Black and White Sta
tion Southside railroad. S.Williams.
Thursday, April 6th,
The following despatches, relating to the
fighting on Thursday, were forwarded by
Gen. Grant to President Lincoln, at City
Point :
Headquarters, April 610 p. m.
Lieut. Gen, Grant : At daylight this
morning I moved the 2d and 6th army corps
along the railroad in the direction of Ame
lia Court House road. After moving, reli
able intelligence was received that the ene
my was moving towards Farmville. The di
rection of the Second and Fifth corps was
immediately changed from a northerly to a
northwestern direction, the Second moving
on Deaeonville, and the Fifth, heretofore in
the centre, moving on the ricrht of the Sec
ond, and the Sixth facing about and moving
by the left flank, taking position on the left
of the Second. It was understood that the
cavalry would operate on the extreme left.
The hanges were promptly made, the 2d
Army Corps soon bocoming engaged with
the enemy near Deaeonville, driving him by
the right across Sailor's creek to the Appo
mattox. It is impossible at this moment to
give any estimate of the casualties on either
side, or the number of prisoners taken, but
it is evident to-day's work is going to be one
of the most important of the recent brilliant
operations. The pursuit will be con
tinued as soon as the men have a little
rest. Griffin with the 5th corps will be
moved by the left, and Wright and Hum
phreys continue the direct pursuit as long as
it promises success. Geo. G. Meade.
Major General Commanding.
. 2r Army Corps. 7-30 p.m., April 6. Ma.
jor General A. G. Webb: Our last fight
just before dark, at Sailor's creek, gave us
two guns, three flags, considerable numbers
ot prisoners,200 wagons. seventy ambulances,
with mules and horses to about one-half the
wagons and ambulances. There are be
tween thirty and fifty wagons in addition a
bandoned ard destroyed along the road,
some battery wagons, forges and limbers.
I have already reported to you the capture
of one gun, two flags and some prisoners,
and the fact that the road for over two miles
is strewn with tents, baggage, cooking uten
sil, some ammunition, and material of all
kinds. The wagons are across the ap
proach to the bridge, and it will take seme
time to clear it. The enemy is in position
on the heights beyond with artillery ; the
bridge is partially destroyed and the ap
proaches on either side are of soft bottom
land. We cannot advance tomorrow in the
same manner as we have to-d;iy. As soon
as I get my troops a little nearer I might
push a column down the road to deploy it,
but it is evident that I cannot follow rapidly
during the night. A. A. Hi'mphueys,
Major General Commmanding.
April 6 10 V. m. M' jor General Wilde,
Chief of Staff: In pursuance of instruc
tions this morning from Major General
Meade, I moved, via Jetto.-sville, by the
short and practicable road to the left oi'Dea
konviile, with the object of retaking por
tion on the left of the Second army corps
striking the road leading ft em Deakonvilie,
to Burk's Station, at a point a little to the
southward of the former place. 1 found that
the Second army corps was engaged to the
front and right, and the cavalry, heavily to
my left, moving down the road towards
Burk's station for perhaps a mile and turti-
l ing sharp to the right, I proceede-i across
toward a nearly parallel road in which the
enemy was moving, and along which he had
thrown up a line of intrenchments. As soon
as the leading Division (Gen. Seymour's)
could be formed, it was moved up on the
road held by the enemy, which was carried,
then turning to the left it was advanced
down the road against a pretty strong resis
tance. By this time Wheaton's division
was put in position as rapidly as possible
or. Seymour's left. The lines were again ad
vanced, and we swept down the road for a
distaene of about two miles, arriving at a
deep and difficult creek. He found the en
emy had re-formed his lire on the oppo
site side, where we attacked and drove him
to a point a distance of ia mile or further.
In the first attack a portion of the cavalry
operated on our right fiauk. In its subse
quent attacks the mass of cavalry operated
on our left and the right flank of the enemy.
The result has been a complete success.
The combined forces captured five general
officers. Among them (Jen?. Ewell and Cus
tis Leo, and a laive number of othes prison
ers. I shall go into camp about two miles
beyond this point and await instrutions.
The First and Third divisions, Whitiixj's
and Seymour's, and the artillery engaged to
day, behaved splendidly. A return of cas
ualties will be forwarded as soon as possible.
The Corps has nobly sustained the reputa
it earned on the 2d, as well as upon its many
hard fought battle fields.
H. G. WitaiCT, Major General.
Al'IUL G ll;15l'. M. Lieut. Gen. Grant:
I have the honor to report that the enemy
made a stand at the intersection of the
Burk's station road with the road upon
which they were retreating. I attacked
with a division of the Sixth army corps, and
routed them handsomely, making a connec
tion witli the cavalry. I am still pressing
on with both cavalry and infantry. Up to
the present time we have captured Gener
als Ewell, Kershaw, Brit ton, Corse, Debar,
Custis Lee, and several thousand prisoners,
fourteen pieces of artillery with caissons, and
a large number of wagons. If the thing is
pressed, I think Lee will survfiider"

How Let us Pay the Soldiers.
We can never pay, says the X. Y. Tribune,
the debt of gratitude and honor we owe the
soldiers who have suppressed the rebellion
and restored the Republic. That obligation,
in part, has got to run over the life time of
these demigods and acure to their descend
ants. But there is a debt long due to these
heroes, which we can pay immediately, and
which it will be a burning shame if we don't
pay immediately. And that is their back pay.
Now, Jet all of us, men and women,
throughout the United States, see to it per
sonally that this dent is paid right off. The
process is simple. 1 'ut the Treasury in funds
! subscribing to the Seven-Thirty Loan.
Let even-body who can spare fifty or a hun
dred dollars from their business ;dl who
have either of those sums laid by from their
savings, straightway lend to the Govern
ment. The investment will be the securest
and most profitable on the earth it will at
the same time be the most dutiful and pat
riotic. The rich who have thousands which
they can thus lend to their country with
profit to themselves, surely should not need
urging to do the only practicable thing which
can immediately be done, to testify their
gratitude to the brave men who have con
quered Peace for us all, and restored the
Union, and given new life, character and
power to the Nation.
Men and women throughout the United
States, let us make this our first buisuess,
not to be laid aside until complete to raise
right off the money to pay every dollar due
to our soldiers.
And may God Almighty bless them !
Subscribe to the Loan.

manding C. S. A.: General: The result
or the last week must convince you ot the

part of the army of Northern Virginia in

of the opinion you ex press of the hopeless
ness of the further resistance on the part of

cate your desire to avoid useless effusion of
blood, and therefore, before considering
your proposition, ask the terms you will of

which I will accept the surrender of the

In reply, I would say that peace being my
first desire, there is but one condition, I in
sist upon, viz: That the men surrendered
shall be disqualified for taking up armsagain
against the Government of the United
States until properly exchanged. I will
meet you, or designate officers to meet any
officers you may name, for the same pur
pose, at any point agreeable to you, for the
purpose of arranging definately the terms
upon which the surrender of the Army of
Northern Virginia will bo received. Very

U. S. GranTj Lieutenant General.
April, 8, 1805. General: I received
at a late hour your note of to-day in answer
to mine of yesterday. J did not intend to
propose the surrender of the army of North
ern Virginia, but to ask the terms of your
propositions. To be frank, I do not think
the emergency has ari.-en to call for the sur
render of this army, but as the restoraticn
of peace should be the sole object of all, I
desire to know whether 3'our proposals would
tend to that end. I cannot, therefore, meet
you with a view to surrender the army of
Northern Virginia, but as far as your prop-,
ositiua may affect the Confederate States
forces under my command and tend to the
restoration of peace, 1 should be pleased to
meet you at 10 a. M., to-morrow, on t he Old
Stage road to Richmond, between the pick

fully, your obedient servant, R. E. Lee.

subject of peace, the meeting proposed for

will state, however, that I am equally anx
ious for peace with yourself and the whole
north entertain the same feeling. The terms
upon which peace can be had are well under
stood. By the south laying down their
