C ! IMANDS VICTORY.
A 'Washington coretspondeot re entiv
telegraphed us that the number of( usen
actually surrendered by Lee to pen.
Grant did not exceed seven or eighllthou. ;
sand, and drew'shence the inference that
the victory was glorious only as kl.moral"
triumph—whatever that may be. : (Were
the estimate of numbers 'corner; the in
ference would not, and still less would the
innuendo be pardonable which somOmar-1
nails have built upon it. But there is
abundant evidence as to the strength of
Lee's army, and the follosving scat went
is perhaps as exact as any, _A. correspon.
dent of yesterday's /Imes says - :
I had - an estimate made by one 0,
Hill's ( Or. Longstroet'a) staff, and, Ili
doubt a very fair one, I append it

Toil
In aliditton to these".ean be added
Teamsters and train men 3,000
lle•ailed men 13,000
Other non-combatants_ . 5,000
This makes the teal strength. of Lee's
army 67,000 men, inside the defeosb of
Petersburg and Richmond. Official state
ments of his losses during the' leven days
campaign which preceeded his surrender
are lacking, but if we put them' at the
large figure of 40,000, there will *remain
27;000 surrendered by Lee as prisoners
of war. And if we stop there, it is an
extraordinary feat of generalship'to C01:11
pel the surrender in any circumstances—
the actual bodily sus render—of an army so
large as' that.
, But this is by no means a complete
exhibit of thefacts. It is not the number
which Leo surrendered at last but the.
number which he had at the beginning
of the campaign that is the Measure of
his antagonist's superior genius. If Lee
lost 40,000 men iu eleven days by death,
wounds, and capture, how is the glory of
his conqueror diminished by that fact?
In what particular was it a less feat of
arms to put 40,000 men hors du combat
ih eleven days than to have spared a por
tion of them for the final capitulation ?
Obviously, Lee's losses all through the
campaign are to be cout.ted as the sue.
cessive trophies of the victor, and it
might even bellf said that the fewer troops
Lee had to aurrender on the 9th of April
, so ranch the grcater was the triumph of
Grant.
The number of the Union army has
also been overstated in the same way and
to the same add of reducing., the. credit
which a grateful nation gives to its first,
general. Grant's forces, it is • said, were
123,000 men reckoning every - man
under his immediate command, garrisons,
sick, &a , included, that number might
be reached, but it conveys uu true idea of
his actual available force that shared the
fighting, of this campaign. The corres
pondent above quoted puts that force at
75,000, with which estimate our own in
formation and opinion pretty nearly coin
cide. In the final struv;gle, therefore,
the number stood 75.000 to 67,000; for
all Lee's force must be reckoned, since in
the defence of Petersburg and Richmond
first, and then more on the retreat,
every man the lebel leader had, was and
must have beet utilized.
With a numerical superiority of about
12,000 mon Gen. Grant s forced his enemy
out of the strongest defences on the con.
tinent, cut off his retreat, destroyed more
than half his army, and compelled him
to surrender the rest. And he did that
in 'eleven days I
Three captains created the art.of war
its it exists today in Enrobre—larlbo

last campaign entitles him to rank with
either of the two former, and in several
important elements of military greatness
places'him oa a level even with the great
Frenah captain. We trust we have
hearii the last of efforts to belittle his
fame and his services.---7.tribunc.

FitESID'T LiBRATIAMT LINCOLN
lit THE CAPITOL OF THE NATION.
WAOnsierroN, - Aprll 19.—The solemn
funeral rites and obsequies to the late
Piesident Lincoln were paid to day by
the homage of the American PeePle, in
tl4e capital of the country. No greater
fealty to the memory of the illustrious
dead was ever demonstrated in the annals
of civilization. The remains of ibis great
and good man were followed to their
temporary resting place beneath ',the dome
of the capitol liy m eortegethat tgemed to
have nci•end, and the ; exhibition of sot. ,
row and lamentation, as it were,seemed to
have rose in its physical formation: The
dawn - that was ushered in by . the heavy
boom of the salute of the minute guns on
the fortificatiens surrounding the city ,
never broke purer or brighter or clearer
than on this day. l ' The morn that suc
ceeded and the da.y , that followed, th, the
e.t.ting of 'the sun, was the lovellek, cf the
season. The heavens - wire undimmed by
even one , passing cloud., • '
At a very early hour people began to
assemble in the vicinity of the executive
mansion, whichwas almost entirely drap
ed in crape, as were also the buildings,
public and private, in the vielnity• All
over the city 'public houses and private
yesidenees were clotted. The emblems of
mourning,appearedlon every eornice, and
were fastened from l every window. The
inmates poured forth by thousands into
the streets, and by ten o'clocic the latter
werelin many places impassible. Penn
sylvania avenue, from Willard's to the
White House, presented. by noon one
dense mass of people, while the adjacent
streets;: for half.a., mile in every direction
were filled with military companies 'and
civic processions. From a distance the
trains If ere bringiokhundreds every hour.
But the at - eat points of attraction were
the gates leading to the White Bouse.—
Those persons who had not obtained tick
ets hoping to effect an entrance were dis
appointed. 'Every conceivable plan was
put info operation to enter the enclosure,
but none succeeded in doing so. .
Between ten and eleien o'clocii the
military escort arrived and formed he line
on Pennsylvania avenue, the left resting
on Fifteenth street. The escort consist
ed of tiro regiments of infantry, two bat
-1 talions of cavalry,eight pieces of artillery,
and one battalion of marines. IThe marines
were headed by the full marine band,and
the other military companies were also
accompanied by ibands. By twelve o'clock
the hour for the funeral Pennsylvania
avenue was,lined from pavement to pave r
meat all the way to the White louse
with thousands of people of all ages. At
that hoiir the ceremenies_commenced in
the East tßoom whose ceiling was draped,
with crape,and whose resplendent mirrors
were hung or bordered with the emblems
Inf mourning, and white drapery g a ve the
liooro a dim light that added to the 6
&Clem
'.,nity of the mournful scene. • All that
remained of Abraham Liucoln, , the six
teenth President of the United Statcs,lay
on the grand and gloomy catafalque ,which .
was relieved, however, by choice flowers.
The spectators of this sorrowful scene
were not merely the Representatives of
our people in Congress and of State, the
Executive officers and Cabinet Ministe'r.s
Qhief Justiee of the Unit'ed States,
and his associates on the bench of that
venerate(' tribunalhieftians who pro
tect our Lomes by service in the field and ,
on the ocean, and the clergy, but also of
multitudes in various positions in the
affairs of State, and from private life, had
an imposing army of Ambassadors with
their less elevated attaches with gorgeous
:decorations. • •
Tickets of admission to the Executive
Mansion were issued to the number of six .
huhdred, of which sixty, were to the 'der-.
gy, and twenty to members of the pVess.
The rest included the Governors of nearly
all the loyal Siates, friend of the family
and those mentioned alrea y. Not a sin
gle relative, if there arc any,of the 'amen.
ted President, outside of his wife and two
ScMs, was present. On Mrs. Lincoln's
side there were Gen. Todd and three Oth
er gentlemen. But a son just attaining
manhood affectionately grieved for a lov
ing father lost. Secretary Stanton,whose
relation bad been most intimate, and a
portion of his household, mourned the
deprivation of a friend, and , all of what
soever degree, sorrowed for the chief.--
Perhaps the most touching grief, and
which waved all presentovas that oilittle
Thaddeus Lincoln, the favorite sonJ 'He
and his elder brother were dial only
mourners of the family present dunk the

'the funeral oration. Gen. Grant sat at
the head of the corpse, while members of
thaXabinet and ex• Vice Presideni Ham
lin, were. grouped about' these .erninent
personages. Amid such a scene the Rev.,i
Dr L. Hall, Rector of the Chutoh of the 1
Epiphany, rose and read portions;' of the'(
Episcopalian service for the buriaLof the
dead, commencing, "Lord - let Me know
my end and the number of my days;that
I may be certified how long I have to live.
Behold thou haat made my days As it I
were a span long,and mine age is as noth,
l ing in l respect to thee, and, verily every
man living is altogether vanity." Bishop
[ Simpson, of thel Methodist Church, then
.offered up a pra . )er,in which he beautiful
ly alluded ,to . emancipation, and other
great deeds: performed by President Lin
coln. Rev. Dr. Gurley then read the
funeral oration. In commencing he said,
As we stand here to day, mourners
around this coffin and around the lifeless
remains Of our beloved chief, magistrate,
1 .
we recognize,we adore;the snvereighty of
God. filis throne is, in the heavens and
his kingdom ruleth over 'lid heavens:,

ghat he pleased. Clouds and, ilarknesa

he seed wickedness, aisle will he not then
consider it ? We boW before his infinite
majesty. sv
. We bow, e,weep,we warship.
The reasons fail with alliher powers.—
The faith prevails c and love adores. It
was . a
cruel hand—that dark. band of the
assassin--Which smote our honored, wise
and noble President, and i filled the . land
with sorrow. But above and 'beyond
that hand there is another, - which we
must see and acknowledge. It is the
chastening hand of a wise and faithful
Father. He gives us,this , bitter cup.—
'and the cup -that our Father has given
us, shall we not drink it ?' , j
Altar alluding to the aillictinghand of)
Providency in death, the reverend . g,en-1
tleman ,sbus spoke of the President :
Havesaid tfiat people confided in the late
President with fall and loving confidence:.
Probably no Man since the days of Wash
ington was ever so deeply and firmly em
bedded, and enshrined ip the very heart
of the people, as Abraham Lincoln, nor
was it a mistaked confidence and love.
He deserved it well; degerved it all. He
merited it l by his charabter, by bis acts,
and ljy the whole tenor and tone, and
spirit of his life He was simple,and i
plain, and honest; truthful and just; 1
benevelent and kind. His preceptions
were 'quick and clear; his judgements
were calm, andi. his purposes were,good
and pure beyond a questioth AlwaYs and
everywhere, he endeavored to be right
and to, do right. His integrity was tho
rough all controlling and incorruptible.—
It was the same in every place and rela
tion. In the consideration and control
of matters, great or small, the same prin
ciple-of power and beauty that shed
,so
clear a lustre upon all his other excellen
cies of mind and heart and recommended
him to his fellow citizens . as a man who,
in a time of uuexampled peril, when the;
very life of the nation was at stake,should - I
be chosen to occupy in the country and
for the country, its highest post of power
and responsibility. How wisely and well
how purely, and faithfully,how firmly and
steadily, how justly and seceessfully be
did occupy that post and meet its grave,,
demands, is known to you ail—known to
the country and the world. He recogniz
ed and received that truthithat "the king
dom is the Lord's,and Elsie the Govern
or among nations." He remembered that
God is in history, and he felt that no
where had his band and .his mercy been
so incipient as in the history of this
nation. He hoped that the ,same band
would continue to guide us, abd that the
same hand would continue ,t¢ aid us in
this our greatest trouble I speak what
I
I know, and testify what have often
beard him say, when I affirm that good
ness and mercy were the prop on which
111 humbly leened ; that they were the
hrt; hopes he had for himself and his
'country; hence, wheu he was leaving his!
home and coming to this city to take his
seat in the Executive chair, he said to
'the old and tried friends who gathered
around him and bade him farewell, "I
lebve you with this request—'Pray
. for
me."' They did pray for 'him, and mill
ions of others 'prayed for him,' nor did
they pray in vain. Never shall I forget
the emphasis and deep emotion with
which he said in this very room to a party
of clergymen who called to pay their re
spects in the darkest days of our civil
conflict. "Gentlemen, tity hope of sue- ,
gess in this strnggle rests on that
immu
sable foundation,the justice and goodness
of God. and when events are very threat
ening and prospects ,very dark, I Still
hope in some way which man cannot see,
all will be well in the end."
In conclusion be said though our belov
ed President is slain, Our beloved coun
try is saved, and , so we sing, of mercy as
well as judgement. Tears of gratitude
mingle with those of sorrow while there
is also dawnings of a! brighter day, and
may God be praised that our fallen Chief
lived long enough to see the day dawn
and the star of ptatie arise upon the na
tion. •Etki saved it 4ri:d was glad. When
the sun hal risen ftill,and a happy reuni-1
ted people are rejoicing, its light - will
shine upon' his grave but the grave will I
be a consecrated andlprecious spot. i

thousands were coilgregated, the sight
was the most sublime and magnificent one
ever seen in this city i nr country. The forts
across' the Potoniac 7 sent up their curling
smoke with the re-echo of minute gums that
were in the city's ' limits. Preceding the
hearse was the military escort, over"one mile
long, the arms of each being draped with
black. At short intervals bands discoursed
dirges, and drums beat muffled sounds. After
the escort came the civic procession, treaded
by llarshal Lanian, Surgeon General and

Following him were the - Cabinet, Chief, juS

• The procession then- rnovtd two miles more
and was composed of public : officers, delega-
Itions from various cities, and' numerons civic
societies, together with another large display
,of the military. Some , 5,000 Icolored. men
were a prominent feature towards the' end;
, The procession was two hours and ten min

three Miles long. Tbe centre 'of it had.e.ven
reached the capitol and was returning before
the rear had left Willdads. • i
, ,
Arriving at the Capitol tlie, romains were .
placed in the center of the rotunda, beneath
the mighty dome which had beed' draped in
mourning insid' and out: Rev, Dr. Gurley,
in the ; presence of hundreds, impressively
pronounced the funeral - services, concluding
as follow's: "And now may the God of peace,
that brought again from the: dead our Lord
IJesus, that great shepherd of sheep, through
the blood of the everlasting covenant,. make
you perfect in every good.work,to do His will,
wording in Jon that which is well iu 'His'
sight, through Jesus Christ, the life, our Re ,
deemer and our hope, to whose care we now
commit, these precious remains, and to whose
name be glory forever and forever. Amen."
The benediction was then said, and the prlo -
cession dispersed. I
• A guard was {ben placed with the ramains,
as the sun was just going down on another
history of the 19th of April. The' most vivid
mind can hardly picture the sublime s ght
that is in the rotunda te-night, Standing
