The last scene in the fall of Richmond is
thus described by E. I'. Pollard, editor of
the Richmond Enquirer during the war, in
his life of Jefferson Davie, just issued from
the press. It is entirely new, and strikingly
interesting :
'At 11 &clock in the morning General
Lee wrote a dispatch to President Davis, at
Richmond, advising him that the army could
not hold its position, and that preparations
should be made to evacuate the capitol that
night? He might have added in the dis.
patch what he remarked to one of IniThaff
officers, as with embittered, but lofty face,
he saw his army breaking up in the broad
sunshine 'lt has happened as I told them
it would at Richmond; the lino has been
stretched until it has broke.
No sound of the battle—not an echo, not
a breath— bad yet reached the 'doomed city.
It was a lovely Sabbath day, and Richmond
basked in its beauty and enjoyed more than
usual remission from the cares of the week.
There were no sounds-as of the vexed thor.
oughfare; the long streets laid open, not a
vehicle upon them; the murmur of the riv
tir gave tones only to soothe the ear, and the
silent pulses of the sunshine beat slowly in
the misty, warm air that laid an the land
scape. It was a day of careless thoughts.—
The usual Sunday orowd lounged near the
Post Office,- exchanging rumors of war, or
the latest depraved gossip of Riohmond so
ciety. .Hundreds wended their way to the
churches, while not t t'ew of 'their country's
hope trod the paths beaten as sheep walks
to the back entrances of the whisky shops
on Main street, and sought consolation in the
flowing bowl. Ladies dressed in old finery,
in which the fashions of many years were
mingled, were Satisfied to make a display . at
St. Paul's Church about equal to the holiday
wardrotiessin better days of 'the -negroes at
the African Church. At the former church
worsbiped.Mr. Davis.. ill e now. sat
,s till and
alone tti lthe Presideat's pew'— where no one
outsidebis family bad ever dared to intrude
since Mrs. Davis had ordered tho sexton to
remove two ladies who had ventured there,
and ,who, on turning their feces to the adme,
nitiati to leave'. delivered befOre the ..itthole
ooegregation, had . proved, to thediSmay and
well-deserved mortification of the President's
wife, to bo the daughters of General Lee.—
Mr. Davis was an honest worshipper. But
a Sunday before Mal:lemonade' one; Davis,
Gen. Lee, and Secretary Trenholai bad gone
together to the communion 'table, and many
eyes in the congregation had been moistened
to see these three men, on whom depended
so many human hopes, kneelingside by side
to partake of the most prceious and comfort
ing sacrament of the church. Now. a very
different scene was to be witnessed. '
In the midst of the service; a man walked
noiselessly into the church, and handed tree
President a slip of paper, Mr. Davis road
the paper, rose, and walked out of the church
witbtont - agitation, but ! his face, - .and _'manner
evidently constrained ; an"iineasy .
ran through the crowd of worshippers, and
many bistened into the street. The congre
gation was soon distiiissed: The rumor had

as the comparison indicates, in the of
some sudden wrath-visited fromi the skies.—
For-four years Riohmond had lived in the
easy riot of the war. Now it appeared as if
the day of judgement hid been called upon
it. Now• there was hurrying to and fro.—
Now the panic-stricken city oke - ttp, as if
riven by lightning, into black; torn crowds of
maddened men, conscience-stricken fugitive,
sobered revelers, blanched women • and chil
dren,
fleeing wildly through the streets, over
the bridges of the river, through every
av
enue of escape flow the terrible day of judg
ment—the chariots of fire and wrath that
were next day to ehter the . doomed city. It
was a seene 'never to be forgotten in the mem •
wry of Richmond. The' night was hoatse
with the roar. of .the great flight.
The reporter of the Associated Press whit
was aware that eight o'clock had beqn desig
nated by General Lee as the hour for evac
uation, unless in the meantime he succeeded
in re-establishing his lines, in which event
he would telegraph again, attended the room
of General Bieckinridgo at that hour,
and
was admitted. He came out with a blank
fees.
'There is no hope,' said Gen. Breokinridgo,
and he walked quietly from the building to
the house where President Davis was then
concealed, making private preparations for
his, flight. There was no last connoil or con
ference All that there was of deliberate as
sembly—all that remained of the once proud
and• loquacious . Government of Jefferson Da

for
_flight, the Cabinet ; Members, being in•

The Capitol apfeered deserted, but as night
fell it was noticed that the, main dour was a
jar. [lid away in an obscure room in the
third story, the City •Couooil was anxiously

the surrender of the city, since "the'Presi

tol was. thus developed upon its municipal
authorities It was a cowardly debate, re
moved from the observation of 'the citizens.
One of the councilmen' was ostentatiously
dressol in a Confederate uniform. So es.
treme was their concern - for the safety of - the
city, such the anxiety for its readiest humili
ation, that it was arranged . that a notifies den
oX rurreuder should be giveebefore the ner,t
day broke, and throe hours
.past midnight,
the Mayor, despite his eighty years of age,
'was - startld in a dilariidated vehicle on • the
mission of surrendering Richmond before the
enemy could got in 'sight of it.' .
Before the Mayor could mount on his mis
sion to the. enemy. a new and sarprising;ter
ror fell upon the city. It ,had been fired in
.various , quarters, - and there. were. already
gleams of conflagration on the dark. horizon.
While the heaving and tumultuous .city was
