GoSSIP WITH OFR FRIENDS.—Wtatt a day
was the 3d. when the news came, of the taking of
Richmond. Such excitement surely was -never
before witnessed. Wall street was in a few mo.
meats a MBAs of people, and all most :outrageous
ly loyal. Strangers threw thesrlves into each
arms. Big : bearded inehissed one another,
at@ shaking hands was as common as mud. Ger- .
mans, Frenchmen, Irishmen, Italians and Span
iards united with Americans in congratulations.
The women looked as jolly as the men; and the
little boys were like mosquitoes. Some ten thou
, sarilinen colleeted about the Custom House, an
impromptu meeting was called, and some super
loyal speeches were Ade: Chittenden. the Chit
boideM the Chittenden whose name is on our
creeubacks, said iu a speech that the, meenhacks
were this day worth 1.15 to the dollar. The Star
Spangled Banner was sung in a mighty voice, that
might almost retch across the big water Trinity
bells were rhinos!, all the other bells in the city
-took up the chords; flags were hoisted. strung
out. atilt fastened to every mineeh able Mille and
'animal; ofliees. and stores, and work-duipt. and

old Bentoeratie Tammany had a jollifientlon on
her own hook. The darkies turned one ell mines,
and were as jubilant as any Off: and as Weitzel's
_troops, composed largely of pmgroes, were the
first to enter Richmond, they fassnmed that Rich
mond hod been taken wholh:e and solely by their
colored brethren, and they rejoiced Ittudl, then-at,

are 'gone gausses-' By 1l of cluck in the evening
'nearly eve4luan I met was more or less tight,
but in eseeeding good humor. As large us New
'York is, every one seemed to know every one else ;
and long after I retired to bed I heard the merry
shout., of a mople. who KNEW for the first time
that the Republic is no longer au experiment.
May we eillkt.ur children and our children's chil
dren be ertir worthy of her! Not to throw a
dainper on the rejoicing, I am induced to mention
that, thinking Mr. Chittenden ought to know, I
tried to sell a dollar greenback for 1.15, and
couldn't do it. I sincerely pitied' the ignorattee
of the broker. Through all the excitement, the
condition of poor. old burned haunted
sere like remorse, and I indulged in the selfish
thought, "too late, too late! for us !"
Out of respect to my lady friends I took a walk
up Broadway the other afternoon to see the spying
fashions, as exhibited on the ladies' persons, and
in the store and shitp windows. It was a very
brilliant sight, and indication of no little shoddy.
The bonnets especially claimed attention. Imag
ine a piece of a rainbow, about two feet long,
coining to a point at each end, widening in a dou
ble curve toward the middle to the width of from
six to eight inches, mid this, thing Sent over the
top of the bead, and fastened under the chin. all
Airmonntedwith red, blue and Yellow flowers. of
great magnitude; and you have a tolerably curs
rect,idea of the new bonnets. The white ones
look like cambric pocket handkerchiefs impro
-vined into head-protectors, for unfortunates with
beatings in their ears, the black ones like,-like a
compromise between a mourning hood and nothing.
I stepped in at Stewart's to see .what was go
ing on, and found about three hundred women
buying most ist:cklessly, because the goods were
cheap. The best domestic calicoes are selling at
20 cents. Silks have fallen about fitly per cent.,
and tousling that were at one time AO cents are
now 40. It is strange that hooks and paper have
not fallen. Some say it is owing to an actual
scarcity in the market, others that the paper ma
ken are running on three-quarter time on account
of the high priet;, of stock.
(tae sees_on the street route queer - styles of
hairdressing, among which the ugliest is the wa
ter-fall. It is a matter of surprise to the unini
tiated how the women. can raise so much hair;
hot if these same innocents would only notice the
sforiiWindows, they would see enormous rolls of
horse hair, etc., for the purpose ut -filling out the
thin hair of the fair sex : and water-falls ready
made, to be pinned 1 011 the occiput. What a set
of Iminbugi we are ! A favorite style of wearing
the hair_ean readily be imitated by our bright-
checked country girls: thus—comb out their hair
carefully, then tangle it all they know hoW : rub
it full of burrs, and.,leep in it without a cap for
a fortnight. This will he a sufficiently . close Mai
- tation to puss otr Broatityay. If it should not,
however, be quite the thing, an attempt to get
' through a very large rose hush, head foremost,
would make the similitude perfect.

" Saluda, morning last at an early hour,
the news was received of the assassination of
the President of the United States. The hitt+
ligenee was so astounding that the people could
scarceil realize it, and for a considerable time
many refused to believe it. But the confirma
tion came only too soon, and the deepest gloom
immediately settled on the whole community. -
Business was suspended as if by common vim
sent, and men gathered in knots on the eorio rs
of the streets and discussed the sad event with
,t seriousness and solemnity betokening the deep
and sorrowful ihterkt they felt in it. No event
in the history of this place, not even the burning
,dit, has hid such an effect on the feelings of . the
people.. Of all the crimes of which this unholy re
bellion has been prolific, this seemed the culmina
ting one, and the one most nearly affecting each
individual.
Denunciations bitter and deep-, of the tomaimin
and his crime were heard on every sitl7. Men of i
all shades of political feeling united in condemn-
_tion of the great crime, and for once it seemed OF
if this last , horrible result of rebellion would 1.-ad 4
all meto view it in its true light.

which Gen. Grant was present to-day. the subject
of the state of the eountry and the prospects or 4

The President was very cheerful and hopeful.
He spoke very_Andly of Gen. Lee and others of
the Confederacy, and the establishment orthe

The executive Departments, including the Pres

Bonfires blazed in nations parts of the city and
rockets were fired-. Thousand , . of persons of both

We meet this evening, not in sorrow. but iu
gladness of heart. The evacuation of Petersburg ,

In the midst of this,, however, He from whom
all blessings flow must not be iorgotteu. A eall
for a national thanksgiving is being prepared. and
will be duly promulgated.
Nor must those whose harder part gives us the
cause of rejoicing be overlooked, and their hon

mysillf was near the front, and had the high pleas

but no part of the honor. or praise, or execution
is mine. To General Grout. his skilful officers,
and brave wen, all belongs. The gallant navy
stood ready,-.but was not in reach to take an ac

auguration of the national authority, and the re
construetion vy hich has hail aZarge share of thought
from the first. is pressed much more closely upon
our attention.
theme
It is fraught with great difficulty. Unlike the
ease of a %% ar between independent nations, there
is i,o authorized organ Mr us to treat with. No
one man has authority to give up the rebellion
for any other man. We simply must begin With,
and mould from. disorganized and discordant de
nim-6s. Nor is it u small additional embarrass
ment that we, the loyal people, differ amongst
ourselves as to the mode, manner, and measure
of reconstruction.
As a general rule, I abstain from reading the
reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to he
provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer
an, answer ; for, spite of this precaution, however,
it comes to my knowledge that I am much cen
sured from some 'supposed agency in betting up.
and seeking to sustain, the new State Govern
ment- of Louisiana. In this I have done just so
much and no more than the public knows. In
the annual inessage of December, 18453, and the
accompanying proclamation, I presented a plan
of reconstruction, as the phrase goes. 'which I
premised, if adopted by any State, should be to ,
ceptable to, and sustained by, the executive gor
eentnent of the nation.
I distinctly stated that this was nut the onit
plan which might possibly be acceptable, and
also distinctly protested that the Executive claim
ed no right to say when or whether members
should be admitted to seats in Congress from
such. States. This plan was in advance submitted
to the then Cabinet, and as distinctly apprined
by every member of it. One of them suggested
that I should then and in that connection, apply
the emancipation proclamation to the theretofore
excepted parts of Virginia and Louisiana ; that
I should deep the suggestion about apprentice
ship for freed pee, and that I should omit the
protest against mfown power in regard to the
adMission of members of Congress, but even he
approved every part n parcel of the plan which
has since been employed or touchfsd by the action
of Louisiana. The new constitution or:Louisiana..
declaring emancipation for the whole State. par
ticularly applies the proclamation to the part pre
viously excepted. It does not adopt apprentice
ship for freed people. and it is silent, as it could
not well be otherwise. about the admission of mem
bers to Conwea..,isp that as it applies to Louisi
ana, every member of the Cabinet full) approved
the plan. The message went to Congress. and I
received many commendations of the plan, written
and verbal, and not a single objection to it from
any professed emancipationist COMP to DI) knowl
edge until after the news reached Washington
that the people of Louisiana had begun to move
in accordance with it. From about July,,D4V2,
I had corresponded with different persons suppo
sed to be interested in seeking a re-construction
of a State Government for Louisiana. When-the
Inessage of ISO, with the plan before mentioned,
reached New Orleans, and General Banks wrote
me that he was confident the people; with his
military eu-operation. would re-construct substan
tially on that plan, I wrote him and some of theta
to try it. They tried it, and the result is known.
Such only has been my agency in getting up the
Louisiana Government. As to sustaining it, my
promise is out, as before stated; hut, as bad-pro
mises are better spoken than kept, I shall treat
this as a bad promise, and, break it whenever I
shall be convinced that keeping it is adverse to
the public interest- But I have not yet been so
convineed. I have isten shown a letter on this
subject. supposed to be an able one, in which the
writer expresses regret that my mind has not
seemed to he definitely fixed on the question,
whether the seceded States, so•valled, are in the
Union or nut of it. It would, perhaps, add as-,
tonishment to his regret were he to leant that
since I have found profitssed Union men endeav
oring to make that a question. I have purposely
forborne any public expression upon it, as it ay
pearsto me that question has not been, nor yet us,
a practically material one, and that any discussion
of it While it thus remains practically material
could have no effect other than the mischif - jvons
one of dividing our friends. As yet, whatever it
may beetnue hereafter, that question is had, as
the basis of a controversy, and good for nothing
at all, 11 merely pernicious abstraction. We all
agree that the seceded States. so-called, are
of their proper practical relation with the Union,
tied that the sole object of- the Government, chit
tied military, in regard to those States, is to again
get them into that proper practical relation. I
believe it is Oct only possible, hut in fact easier
to do this without deciding pr even considering
whether these States have tees been out of
the Union. than with it; finding themselves
safely at home, it would be utterly imma
terial whether they had ever been abroad.
Let us all join in doing the acts necessary to lo
oming the proper practical relations between
these States and the Union, and each forever af
ter innocently indulge his own opinion whether in
doing the acts he brought. the States from with
out into th e ruton. or only gave them proper as-
SktallCP, they never haying been out of it.
The amount of constituency, so to speak, on
which the new Louisiana government rests,
%%mild he more satisfactors to aft if it contained
50,001, 30,000, or even :20,000; instead of only
about 11.,0110 as it does.
Ir is also unsatisfactory to sonic that the elec
tive franchise is not given to the colored men. I
would myself prefer that it were conferred on .
the very intelligent. and on those who serve our
cause as soldiers. Still, the question is not wheth
er the Louisiana Goverment, as it stands, is quite.
all That in desirable. The question is. Will it be:
wiser to take it as it is, and help to improve it,'
or to reject and disperse iat Can iLomsiana be
brought into proper practical relation with the
Union sooner by sustaining or by dhcluding her
new State Government 1
Some 12,000 voters in the heretotbre slave
State of Louisianna have sworn allegiance to the
Union, assumed to be the rightful political power
of the State, held elections, organized a State
government, adopted a free State cengitution,
giving the benefit of public ,chools equally to
black and white, and empowering the Legislature
to confer the elective franchise upon the colored
man. Their - Legislature has already voted to
ratify the Constitutional amendment recently
passed by Congress, abolishing slavery throughout
the nation. These twelve thousand persons are
thus fully committed to the Union, and to perpet
ual freedom in the State—committed to the very
beings and nearly all the things the nation wants
—and they ask the nation's recognition and its
assignee to make good their -committal. Ntiw,
if we reject and spurn them, we do our utmost to
disorganize and disperse them. We, in fact. say
to the white man, " You are worthless, or worse ;
we will neither help you nor be helped by, you."
To the blacks we say. "This cup of liberty which
these your old masters hold to your lips we will
dash from you, and leave you to the chances of
gathering the spilled and scattered contents in
some vague and undefined way when, where, and
how." If this course, by diseouraging and par
alizing both white and black. has any tendency
to bring Louisianna into proper practical relations
with the Union. I have so far been unable to per
ceive it. If. on the contrary, we recoodze and
sustain the 11055 tiovennnent of Louisianna, the
4 . 4 , 11 i era, of nil thi ,, is Mall,
11 e ••I1,0111:12 , the hear] , nail Nen t• 111...
the 11.000 to adhere to their work, andiigne for
it. and pro.4elyte 'ln it, and fight tor it, and feed
it. and grow it, and ripen it, to a complete suc
cess.• The colored man, too, in seeing all united
for him, is inspired with vigilance, and; energy,
and daring to the same end. Grant that he de
sires the elective franchise, will he not attain it
sooner by saving
,the already advanced steps to
ward it than by. running backward over them 1
Concede that the new Government of Louisianna
is only what it ihduld be, as the egg is to the fowl,
we shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the
egg, than by smashing it. [Laughter.] Again,
if we reject Louisiana, we:also reject our. rote
in favor of the proposed amendment to the Na
tional Constitution. To meet this proposition, it
has been argued that no more than three-fourths
of those States which have not attempted seces
sion are necessary to validly - ratify the amend
ment. Ido not commit myself against this, fur
ther than to say that such a ratification would be
questionable. and sure to be persistently question
ed, while a ratification by three-fourths of all the
States would be unquestioned and unquestionable.
I repeat the question, Cau Louisiana be brought
into proper practical relation with the Union
sooner by sustaining or by discarding her new
State Government !" What has been said of Lou
isiana will apply severally to other States; and
yet no great Fliculiarities pertain to each State,
and such important and sudden changes occur in
the same State, and withal so new and unprece
dented is the whole ease, that no exclusive and
inflexible plan can safely be prescribed; As te
details and collatemls, such umexclusive,and in
flexible plan would surely become a ,new eaten
glement. Important principles may and must be
inflexible. In the present attiation,tas the phrase
goes, it may he my duty to make some new
hr
an
nouncement to thep eople of the South.: I am
considering, ands I not fail to act when satis
fied that action wil be proper. :

The appalling bereavement the Nation has

to revive in a very shoit time, again. The cap
ture of Mobile, and the 'reasonable certainty of
the capture or destruction of Johnston's army,
leave no doubt as to the early close 'of the war,
and the various channels of trade have been adap

be no revulsion in financial affairs following the

of the rebellion.
