We take theeemanifestations of joy in Richmond as significant of the future in the .entire Siu.h a' -the terminationof the war. These pe.iple are evidently preparing to welcome back the old standard ' aa theirown ones more, and not aa that of a foreign pov:er holding authority among them .o'e'yly right ofccnquest. It illuatratei how thoroughly mistaken were the persistent declarations that the Soutl;e-a-eople would never submit again to the old'rulo quietly, no matter how much they might be onquaredby onr armies. Fjr if any place In the S uth m'ght have been expected to become cjrr.- pUt^lyabscrêd in the rebellion, and identified with the spirit of ssoesoicn, ft certainly w-is Richmond,which baa enjoyei all the advantages incident to the location of a powerful GoverErcnn de factoduring four years of a gigantic wa-', and which, besides the vajt patronage thereof, has enjoyod allthe jur llation and glorifications of reptated rebel v.c- torfes. We have not merely taken the towno" Richmond. We have captitred the capital of Virginia, the oapi- * tal of the Rebel Oaafederacy,the bulwark of .<;Lv;ry itt Virginia, and by all odds the strongeat miil;ar, position In the State, Thisevent svill do rtore to dkcoutage the rebels than any other event that canld happen, short of theutter dispersion of L re's^ army. Virginia, although dragged reluctantly Into this war by the dnfernalmachinery of a secret order, which overawed her State Oonvention and forced the passage of theSecession ordinance by violent mo^ns, ibas yet been the biilwink of the jfebelllon from - the verybeginning. Her troops have far outnum- bered those of all other States in \he rebel armies, andhave uniformly fought batter on evcy occasion Her faltb In the rebel causa has naver waveredunder any diaoonragement, however great, Her geaerils have bsi-n the best in the rebel service.Without the aid of Virginia it is ex!remely doubtful if the rebellion could have lasted half so ioag.It :b evic'e'it, t>ereforc,that the suocesa wMih has atteud-jd rebel military operations la Virginia Ijaaarisen from nothing which the Virginia soldiers hold in commoi with these ef offcc- rebel States,but rathor trom qualities inh;rentln the Virginians similar in thosa of the Northern people.- Theircause w|i3 tjrrlbly wrong, but the awful losses ihey . hava endured in its "behalf, the military abl itiestheir officers have displayed, atd the d'sjipllne, steadiness aad obstinnte courage of thdr troops,en- title them to the ri|5pectof thoe ag,iin6t whom ih-y have bs-^n arrayed: STRAGGLERS IN THEGALLEY. Major General Hancock announces the surrender of Lee and his army to the people livingin his De- partment, and says that all .stragglers from the Ar- my of Northern Virginia-ffho complywith the terms of Lee's surrender will be permitted to return *to their homes, and those who donot surrender will be coiisidered as prisonei's of war. Ha does not in- clude the notorious Mosbyin this parole. The following is Gen. Hancock'^ order ; " Ht-ilicifARTEzs Middle Military Dmsioy, )WlKCHE.STEE, Va., April 10, I860. I The Major General Commanding announces to the citizens lathevicinity of bis lines that General Robert E. Lee surrendered with the Army of Northers Virginiayesterday to Lieut. Gen. Grant near .\.ppomattox; Court House. The arm.s, artillery'and' baggagewere delivered ap, the Confederate officers being allowed to retain their side arms and private


property. Officers and men were all paroled not to take up arms against the United States untilregularly exchanged, and were allowed to return to tlieir homes once more, tliere to remiiin withoutmolestation from the au- Lliorities of the United States so long as. their parole is kept inviolate,and they resi>ect the laws in force where they reside. Ail detachments and stragglers from theArmy of Northern Virginia will, upon complying with the above conditions, be paroled and allowedto go to their hoss'cs. Those who do not sosurrender will be brought in as prisoners of war. Theguerilla^hief Y:.M!'wby Is not included in the parole. 'Jho Major General Commanding trusts thatthe people to wliom tliis is sent -.vill regard the s-iirren- der of General Lee with his army as Leehimself regards it, as the first great step to peace, and.will .adiV't their conduct to the new conditionof affairs and make it practicable for him to exhibit t&wards them every.leniency the situation willadmit of.- Evcry military restraint shall be removed that is not absolutely essential, and your sons,yoar hus- bands and your brothers shall remain with you un- molested.

RiCHMo'ND, Va. y In virtue of S|^cial Orders fromHeadquarters cf the Department, I have assumed command of the Peninsula District, composingthe counties immediately north of the James river. I take it for granted tliat tlie surrender of Gen.Lee's army virtually includes all Virginia troops whose organi- zation has been part of said army,although their duties have been in a separate district. Companies of such troops are kno-wn tobe still stationed in the counties mentioned as* belonging to this district. OIHcers and men inthese organizations are directed to surrender themselves as prisoners of war and be paroled, that


they may return to their homes and give their assistance in establishing order and peace in theirimn'ediate neigiiborhoods. It is my intention to establish detached posts throughout this district,purely for the protection of the citizens of tne country from illegitimate bands of armed_men andmarauders of every dercription. Citizens are requested to give their aid to this end, by supplyinginformatio*! wh ich may lead to the arrest of all persons who may commit depredations of anykind. All inen wlio have belonged to any organized company of Cenfuderate troops, included inthe surrender of Geo. Lee's army, or otherwise, (^ ho. have returned to their homes, are requestedto register their names at the posts established in tlieir vicinity. Those men \vhose experience inwar renders peace more dear, are requested to give every,a3si3tance to the reoog niscd forces ofthe United States Gorarnment in their en- de.ivors to render property secure, and lives safe fromthe attacks of men who take advantage of tht- present state of affairs for the purpose of privnt><">iin or private revenge. .

W, 3 *v,,^ A D,!5ED OF HOKROR has been done in our land. -^^ The Chief Magistrate of the great Republic has been stricken down by the-tiloody hand of anassassin. In a moment of unsuspecting confidence and relaxation. President Lincoln has been mur-dered ! Every element of atrocity cowardly, base, flond-like every trait of blackness that can impartadded horror to crime, every characteristic of the demon, all the combined features, that give hide-ousnoss to sin, unite in making this murder stad out in startling and terrible distinctness amongthe gloomy scenes of the wbrld's history. Perhaps never since the day when the people of Franceheard that their beloved and chivalrous monarch, Henri Quatre, had fallen by the knife of the fanaticmurderer Ravaillac, has a nation be'en, moved by a deeper feeling than will be excited by the deathof Presideut Lincoln. The circumstances surrounding the King of Frince and the President of theUnited States were in many respects alike. Civil war had desolated a large part of his beau- tifulcountry, his own genius and courage had sub- dued oppo.sition, and happily united his people un-der their legitimate monarch. Henry Fourth had ascended the throng and was leading his peopleinto the pursuits of industry, peace and happiness, when the murderer, with stealthy step, drewnear and plunged the fatal 'liuife into the monarch's side. And so with President Lincoln. Electedfour years ago the Chief Magistrate of the whole Union by a vote iu which all the Sotithern Statesparticipated, and ia which the form and spirit of the Constitution alike supported his claim, he wassubjected to the paia of seeing a civil war arise in the land. The rightful authority, of which he wasthe chief Kiacutivej was rejecteli. The Union was threatened, and war v.'as inaugurated to ranU it


asunder. Firmly, yet sadly, he accepted the is- lue. He called out the military power of tho na- tionto enforce the laws and repress resistance to just authority. For four years of bloodshed, of trials,disasters, discouragements, which would have appalled a heart less re.solute and conscien- tious,he has persevered. His .steadiness and courage have astonished the people of the Old World, whohave seen with something like awe the tremendous powers of war which have been developedunder his administration. And now, in the moment of success, when armed opposition bad fallenbefore hira, and he was about to lead a re. united peop.le to paths of peice, he falls py the hand ofan assassin. A covfardly murderer creeps behind him and fires the fatal bullet. It is re- nlarkable thatthe Execiitive Order.?, under which drafting and recruiting for the United States army were stopped,the restrictions upcm trade removed, aud all the happy harbingers of concord and peace sent forthto cheer our country, were issued on the very day when the hand of murder was preparing to strikedown, the Chief Officer of ;the Republic. The man to whom this deed is attributed is John WilkesBooth. He is a sou of the tragedian, Ju- nius Brutus Booth, a native o-f England, born in London iu1776v The son is.said to be a native of Baltimore. Reports attribute to him a violent and disorderedcharacter, brutalized by habits of in- temperance and frenzied by unrestrained passions. Underwhat motives he acted, wh%(her his crime was long meditated, or was the result of recent mentalexcitement, or whether lie was sane enough to.know the fearful guilt he was contracting; theseaie questions to which no answer yet appears. Rumor with her thousand toi>gues will be'busy insuggesting falsehoods, suspicions and motives to \%-hich we trut the calm sense of the nation willhot too readily give heed. The people of the South wiil turn witli loathing and horror irsm thi.s act ofmurder. Nothing in the Southern character is in sympathy with such a deed. The most relentless andfnexorable passion ever charged against a Southern dneJlist never'led to acts of cowardly,, stealthymurder. In all the fearful sceaes of the war, now pas.sing away, when the most envenomed hatredshave been rousijd, no secret assassinations, no poisonings, no unfair and cruel assault* on the lifeof enemies have been practised. What shall be the proximate and remote, results of this horribletragedy, we will not now attempt to divine. But we feel assured that the sentiments of Spathernmen will be made known iil forms which will prove their detestation of such a deed, and increasetheir desire to bind up the bleeding wounds of our common cou,ntry.

For the present, at least until Virginia shall have emergedfrom the existing chaos and confusion the Times will studiously refrain from all cdi torial comment,aud will be dsvpted exclusively to the News of the day.

flame of excitement. Every arrangeinent has been made to bring ont the Times as a first class pajjer,and to establish it upon a firm and liberal basis. One promise we can safely make to its patrons:it .shall always give the latest NEjfS FKOM all farts OF THE couKTBY. For this purpose no pains orexpense shall be spared. Arrangements are now under way to secure correspondents in Europe andthe principal cities in the North ; and as soon as it is practicable we,shall lay before our readers eveiyevening the latest news in special TELEaKAPHic despatches FROM Washington. The Times will give,in each number, a full KSsruK of all events transpiring in Richmond, having .secured for its city editora gentleman well acquainted with the city, and who has been connected with the Richmond pressfur a number of years.

Taa; DiîTu Of PrksidsntL KCoi,:.'.---Tie verifi- oatiori of the rumor of the asaaisiaation of Ati'a- liam Ijincoln fell like athunder.clap upon this community y'estcrlay, and the expreasion of regret aaii abhorrence of the actwas almost uiliTersal arutiug all classes, evea those of the most uUia Southern feelings. Mr, Lincoln'sliberal ofl'er to Virginia had prepa ed the minds of aU. for a speedy and happy settlement of thepresent difficulties, so far 13 Virginia was involved. The impression was jmmediate and profound,that Virginia had lost he best friend, and foiebodingi painful to dwell upoa were indulged in asregards the grave, turn national events miglit take in view of the striking dowil of the guiding handof Government policy. AU the flags in ths city and the Qa'^'S of the shipping in the harbo: were athalf-mast Sunday and yesterday tn recognition of the great calamity that hai fallen so suddenlyand unexpectedly upon the people of a, whole continent, North and South, the eii'ect of whichwill be felt in two heniisphsres. _ S. WihKSS BoaiH, who, if ii' ,oits bo truii, has jinliedhis name withhistory, and mada it infamous for all time by one of the most dastardly assaaaina- tiona of thecentury, is the second son of Junius Brutus-Booth, the groat tragedian, and is between twenty-sixand twenty-seven years of age. He was bo.a and raised iu Hirford county, Bid., where his fatherowned,and cultivated a/arm. In early-life Wiikes showed little ambition for the stage, but, inspiredby the success of his brc ther, Edwin Booth, he want upon the boards, as a '-hienaber of a stock


company in Philaielj)hia, and about the year 18C0 he was regarded as almost yie .rival of Edwin,fn- - deed, hU "Richard" was said to surpass fjat of Ed- win, and approached nigher the renditionof Booth the elder than any other living actor. At tha break- ing out of.the war of 1861, Wilkes wasattached to the troupe of Messrs. Kunkel & Moxley, then per- forming at the Marshall Theatre, Broadstreet, in this city, where he appeared under the name of J. B. Wilkes. He went North-with most ofthe company, and has since risea to" some distinction ia the Northern cities as an actor. Of late,he has been represented by those- who kaew him as a man of decided auti-sUvery sentiments ;whereas,_prio^ io the war, he was regarded as a sympathizer with the South. 0-t of motives of policyhis views and sentiments must have undergone a change. Like h's father; the elder Booth, Wilkessome- times indulged in the cup to excess, and on these occaiions hallucinations of mind, would takeposses- sion of and control him as they had done his father, Ivho.'on one or two occasions, upon thestage, came Bigh committing actual and real murder, instead of the mimic slaying provided for inthe play. In stature J. Wilkes Booth is ubout five feel ten inches high, of delicate fram*, and featurescapa. bie of being put in tine play; dark, piercing eyes, and dark hair. His intellectual faculties arehighly cuUivited. A younger brother, Joseph, is, or was, a medical student in Philacelphia. A Fhopuect4.B0UT FuLFiLf.BQ. A correspond- en: sends us the following.

or even clothing, save what he had on> at the time.'

This predictionoccurs in the volume second, edition of 160S. It is as follows : "About that time (1861) a great quar.rel and controversy will arise in a country beyond the seas (America), and many poor devils will behung, and many poor -wretches will bo killed by a punishment other than a cord. Upon my faith youmay believe me, the war will not cease for tour years, at which none ôuld be surprised or aston-idhod, for there will be no -want of hatred and ob- stinacy in it. At the end of that time, prostrateand almost ruined, the people will re-embrace each other in great joy aud love." This prophecy, if wemay judgej'rom the signs of the times, is working itself to a sure and complete fulfilment. May Godhasten'the day._________________________ Howa Rent. Among the financial complications growing outof tha substitution of the Federal currency for Confederate scrip, now worthless, is house rent, whichwas raised to an enoinious figure in Confederate currency. La ndlords now demand that paymentsshall be made in Federal currency in the proportion that Confuderate notes bore to greenbacksjust before the Union occupation <5f the city. This would make rent still dis- proportionately high,and the people are absolutely unable to meet the demands of the grasping landlords.

THE SURRENDER. Highly Interesting Details of the G-REAT- EVEISTT- riie interview betvreeinGJramt and lL,ce. SOCIAL MEETING OP PROMINENT OFFICERS OP THE TWO ARMIES. _________ <We copy from tlie City Point oorTispocdenît! of tlie New ITork Times the following partiualars ofthe surreuder of >u. Lee. The letter is dated 12th instant: I am able to Jay bafore yoa the highlyinterei({ing and jnportant details o4 the surrender, tbrou;;h the courtesy >f Col. Tal. P. Shaifner, theeminent telegraph engineer, k-ho was an eye-witnesq to the whole scene. ; * * ' It will be recollectedthat Gen. Giant's first letter ;o Lee was dated on the 7th (Friday), the day of the bat- iJe of FarmviUe,and the correspondence was kept up during the following day and up to H o'clock on Sunday, isalready published. In response to Gen. Grant's last letter, Gem. Lee appeared on the picket line-ofthe Second Corps, MUea' Division, with a letter addressed to General Meade, lequesting aicessationof hostilities while he con.^ sidered Gen. Grant's terms of surrender. Gen. Meade re- , plied that hehad no authority to accede to the request, but that he would wait two hours before making an at-tack. In the meantime Gen. Grant sent word to General Meadeu that he wold be up in half an hour,and the matter was turned over to him. A flag of truce pmceed to Ap- pomattox Court House shortlyafter nooa, (W at about 2 o'clock P. M., the two GeBeiala met at theffouse of Mr. Wilmer McLean.Gen. Lee was attended by Gen. Marshal his Adjutant General, Gen. Grant by Col. Parker, one oi hischief Aides-d -Canip. .The two Generals met and greeted each other with dignified courteey, andproceed-, rfd at once to the business before them. Gen. Leo immediately alluded to the conditionsof the snrrender, ciar- act^rized them as exceedingly lenient, and said he would gladly leave all tiedetaila to Gtn. Grant's own discre- tion. Gen.-Grant stated the terms of the parole: that .tiie armsshould be st>icked, the artillery parked, and the supplies and munitions turned over to him, the cffl-Wers retaining their side arms, horses and per.sohal effects. Gen. Lee promptly assented to theconditions iind the agreement of surrender wtub engrossed and Bignjd by Gen. Lee at 3.30 o'clock.% Gen. Lee asked Gen. Grant for an interpretation of the phrase, '-personal effects," and said thatmany of his cavalrymen owned thfir own horse;--. Gen. Grant said te corwtrueditto mean that thehorses must be turned over to the United States Govcrament. Gen. Le admitted the cojrectnessand justioe of the interpretation, when Gen. Grant said he would instruct hisoflSccrsto allow thosemen who owned tieir horses te retain them, as they would need them for the purpose of tilling theirfarms. Gen. Lee expreused a great sense of gratifica- tion for snch a generoue consideration, and


said it would âve a very good effect. He subsequently expressed a kope tkat each soldier mightbe furnished with a certifl- ate of his parole, as evidence to prevent him from being forced into thearmy until regularly exchanged. Gen. Grant absented to. the suggeetion, and the printing pr&steswere soon put to work to print the dociiments required. In regard to the strength of his army. Gen.Lee said le had no idea of the number of men that he should be a*Io to dclivr up. There hael beenso macy cngage- Bients, and such heavy losses from desertion and other causes within the pastfew days, and the retrea* so rapid, .that no regular morning reports had been Maiie lince leavingPetei-sburg; but it is geaerally believed by the Iwst informed officers that Lee surrenders eighteenor "twenty- thousand men. Of the army horses, wag-T.-^, &c.,' there a yot co official aooount. Gen.Lee informed Gen. Grant that his men were short of provisions, whereupon Gen. Grant orderedtwenty-five thousand rations to be distributed to them. Thus substantially ended the inter; view.Both Generals.were the very irarrsonation of .dignity and couitosy in their bearing. Lee is in fineliealth, and though apparently impreis<;d with the vital " effectand impnrlince of the act- he wasperforming, he (was cheerful nd pleasant in his.demeanor. The house ) *he.'0 the stipulationswere signed was a fair brick stftic- 1 ture, with neat grounds- and unite neatly furnished. The roomin which the interview took place was a comforta- ble parjor, abo'ut eighteen by twenty feet, andadorned by the usual furnishicg, common tij the average of Yir- U'nia houBes. Both Generals wereattired in full uniform. Lee -ff-oro a very fine sword. ( Jrant had no side-arms, having le"ft camp theday previous, with thfc intention of being gone . but a few hours, but, on the contrary, being gonSall I might. WhSn the two Gere.-iila first met they were attended only by the stalT.ofTicera alr.iadymentioned; but during the interviewseveralof cur officers ecter.'d andwere intro hicedto Gtn. Lee,who received Uura lordia'ly and made no objections to their presence. They were Major GaneralsOrd ud 8herida, BrevetMajor Geoeral Ingalls, Brig. Gen?. Williaros Rawling-i and Uarnard,and Lieut.Cols. Parker, Bent, Badcau. Bowers. A. A. G., Porter, Bahcock, and Capt, Lincoln. Tal. P. Schaffuer, EgqWas the only civilian present. It should be said that General Grant had anticipated the surrenderfor several days, and had resolved before- hand nt to lejuire the same formalities which are re-îiired in a sun-ender betv.-eon the forces of two foreign nations or belligerent powers ; that theyêre our own people, and to ejaet no ooudiliions for the merepurpose r hursitiaticn. ' After theimterview, Gen. Les returned' to his owe camp' about half a mile distant, where his leading offi-cers were assembled awaiting his return. He an-iouDcsd the result and the terms, vrhercunon theyexpressed great satisfiction at the leniency o{"th oonditionp. They then approached him in orderof rank, fehock hands- expressing satisfaction at his course and their regret at parting, all sheddingtears on the occasion. The fact of BuneBdcr and the liberal terras were then announced to thetroop*, and when Gen. Lee appeared smongAhcm he was loudly cheered. On Monday, be- Iweon9 and 10 o'clock A. M., Gen. Grant and Staff rode out in the direction of the rebel lines, and on ahilljnsi ; beyond the court house, where a full vievf of the rebel army'co^d be obtained. Gen. Leewne met, attended by but one staff officer and ordarlies. The Generals halted, and, seated on their


horsts, conversed for nearly aa hoar upon the proepects of the future, each eaemit'g to realize theinigh|y influence which the events of the jH-esent were to have npon it. General Lee Signified eryempha'tioally his desire for a total cessation of hostilities, and indicated his irjtention to do all inhis power to effeot that end. The best of good, feeling pr^/aile^,. and this.-was:tlio lapt iBtorviewbetween the Two Com- maDdors. Gt.n. Grunfreturned to McLea'n'-A ho-ase. and , soen after Geas.Leo-gstreqi, Gordon, Pst;kelt and Het.h, with a nAmber of FitaS officers, arrived, and after recog-Bitiono and introduoliona, an hour of Very friendly inter- iMjartt; took place; duHBg which manyscenes and irvi- rieBts of bye-gone college days, and daj-s or'servioo t:- gtte;r in ths'regular army,were rcvived^nd retold wi'.ii , maoh good nature. >, G-ja.

HiCHMOXO WniG, TUESDiy MORNING, APkIL U, 1865. THE AI,JEXATSa>SIA BE'JO'.li-STKA- Tiour, * .* ----- TWO MASS MEETmOH 'BVKKCUES OF 00 \'. riEKVONT, HON. LEWIS M'KENZIE ' AND OTHERS.The Resolutions Adopted, &c. Tlie Alexandria State Journal of tlie lltli iust., gives aa extended accoimtof tlie puiilic rejoicing in that city, tlie previous night (Wondav). It says : An amount of good feelingand enthusiaam has -been ecgeadered among our people by the glorious newa of the paat few dayswhich it sssm-s impossible' to repress. Since (Jrant's firat m)venient agiinst liichraond com- mencedmeetings have beL>u held almost rightly, and such a pouring out of the masses has never beforebeen wttaessed in this section. No one seems to tire of-these demonstrations, but every additiqnalone appearing to enkindle, new enthusiasm, and to be attended by in- er<ftsed numbers. Twogreat meetings were held last nigfht one at Mr. Parker's Theatre building, the full use of which hadbeort kindly tendered for the occaaion. and at Liberty Hall both of which were crowded by immenseaudiences. The theatre building was draped with the Stars and Stripes, and presented a most beauti-ful .ippearance. Tlie stage was occupied by the speak- CTs and invited guests, and the e.Kcellejitband of the 20lsi Pennsylvania volunteers. In the oiSshestra was seated tlie band belonging to the2d D. C. Volunteers and the orchestra baud of the Theatre, A choir com- posed of the ladies andgentlemen of the Theatre,<ed by Mr. J. C.-Dann, opened the e.tercisrs of the evening by singinKt'ue glorious uatioual air of the "Star Spangled Banner." It was received by a perfect hurricane ofap- plause, and encored to such an extent that they had to return.when they sung another air,vhich has already reccive(3,a national reputation "lially Round the Fla", Boy.-." " The meeting wasthen organi;ied by calling Andrew Jamieson, Esq., to the Chair, and electing a large number ofVice Presidents and Secretaries. Mr. Jamieson, on taking the chair, thanked the audience for tliehonor conferred imon him by calling him to preside ove*r such a large and Tespect.ible meeting.He congratulated those present on the glorious news which had been brought us of the continuedsuccess of our . arms and the ne^rapproach of peace. A re-nnitcd country wpuid'aoon again blessour land a country which would hereaftgr be founded on the broad principles of ireedom. (rheerp.)(rov. Pierpont was then introduced amid immense ap- pian.se. After a few preliminai-y remarkshe alluded tu the rebellion amongst the heavenly hosts, and drew a comparison between it -andthe one which had caused so much suffering and bloodshed in our own land during Wie past fourlong years. Both origin,ated from a misguided ambition an lnsa*iat^thirst for power, and the firstend- ed as the present will, and as all such unjustifiable rebel- lions mu.st end in all time to come.Truth and justice must prevail. But a few years ago our national ensign the glorious old Stars andSt.-ipes was honored and respected throughout the world. It was a protection to every citi- zenof our land in every civilized conntrv under the sun. It was attempted to be stricken do?/n by theleaders of this rebellion, but th.mk (Jod they had failed. To-day it again appears undimmed by theloss of one star, and floats proudly over every State a beacon of light and of hope to the oppressedof every nation. A wise Pro- vidence had cau.sed us to pass through the jjrivations the soene.s of


blood and of de.solatitm of the past four ytars for a wise purp.ose. We have already e;nei-ged fromthe darkness which has enveloped us as a nation, purified in many re.spects, and let us hope abetter, a greater and a wiser people in every way. A nation, founded as ours must hereafter be, onIhe great and immutable principles of truth and ju.stice with one .nag the ever glorious o d Stars andStripe.s no power on earth will be able to.prevail against it or relard its on- ward march to greafnessand glory. (Cheers.) The speaker continued at considerable length with great eloquence and power,frequently being interrupted by the most enthusiastic cheers. At the concIUfion of his re- marksthe audience arose and gave three rousing cheers for our armies and their csmmanders, threefor our gal- lant navy, and a 'tiger" for U*v. Peirpout. Col. H. H. Wells, Provost Uartial ( Jeneral forthe de- fences south of the Potomac, was then introdu'-ed and delivered a stirring speech. ,< Wemake room for the followiag marks: LaDIK.? .Wn GliXTLEMEN portion oi his re- marching down thehiU-side whose base is marked by the ocean of eternity, that fame will be gr6ater, brighter a'ndfresher than it is to-dy. At the conclusion of Col. Wells' speech the choir sung the national air- -"I!ed,White and Blue" and a beautiful piece called "Tlie Prisoners Hope," both of which were excellentlyperformed and produced great enthusiasm among those .present. Hon. Lewis McKehzie wasthen introduced and enter- tained the audience in a most happy manner for some ten or fifteenminutes. His manj' quaint sayings and happy hits kept the audience convulseil in laughter da- ringIlls occupancy of the stand. We shall not attempt to report his speech, as ive could do him nothinglike justice. Wetsel Willoughby, Esq., followed in a cogent nd spirited speech of fifteen or twentyminutes duration, which, lite those whick had preceded it, waa well received by the audienee. Mr.Willoughby was followed by Hon. Wm D. Mas- sey'iu a short speech, delivered in his usual terse andanimated manner, and he by Wm. L. Ives, Esq. The committee on raiolutioai, through their chair-man.. (Colonsl MiClure,) reported the following pre- amble and resolutions, which were unanimouslyadop- ted: Whereas, official information has reached onr city of the surrender of the ConfederateArmy of Northern Virginia, under Gea.- Lee; to Lieut. Gen. Grant; and, whereas, we regard this aa theinitiato'ry step on the part of tils Commander-iu-Chief of the rebel army towards the surrender ofthe entire forces under his command, and now in rebellion against the legally constituted authorityof the government of the United States; Be it therefore resolved by the loyal citizens of Alex- andriacounty, in ma.ss meeting as.êmbled. That ^hey hail, with feelings of unspeakably joy, the receptionof this giatifying intelligence, as they thereby realize a speedy return to those days of peace andprosperity with which our beloved country had been blessed iJrevious to this wicked and causelessrebellion. Resolved That our heartfelt gratitude is due, and is hereby tendered to Lieutenant GeneralGrant and the officers and men of the' armies of the United States, for these glorious victoriesover traitors in arms ajaiast the only legal representative of the founders of the United Statesgovernment. Resolved, Tha< by the victories thus achieved, not only we, but the e.ntire civilizedworld, have unmistakable evidence of the fact that a repiTbliean government is founded upon justprinciples, and can and will maintain itself against all enemies, foreign or domestic. Resolved, That


we hereby mingle in the nation's sorrow at and condolence in the memory of the hallowed deadwho have fallen in defeace of their country and its flag,and whilst we rejoice over the acts of thelivitig, we will not forget the claims upon our sympathy and friend.ship of the widows and orphansof those who have sacrificed their lives on the altar of their country. Resolved. That we herebymingle our hearty congratulations with our fellow-citizens throughout the country at the hopeof the speedy return of the time when we shall once again know no North, no South, no East, noWest, bnt be a happy and united oeople, kiowingand re- cognizing but one government that of theUnited States of America. . Col. McClure then addressed the meeting, after which a vote of thanksto Jos. Parker, Esq., Mr. G. C. Boniface and Miss Kate Newton, for their kirdness and liberality intendering the free use of the theatre for this meeting, and also to the different bands in attendancefor volun- teering for the occasion. The motion was carried with a will which showed that theaudience appreciated the kindness. .\ motion was then made to celebrate the 14th instant, Fridaynext, the anniversary of the firing upon Fort Sumter, which was carried, and the following naihedcommittee, to act in'conjunction with a like committee appointed by the mee.ting at Liberty Hall,viiv: Messrs. RobertPortuer, Josiah Millard, Gilbert 8. Milner, John T. Armstrong and \V. J. Cowling. .The following are tlie names of the gentlemen appointed by the Liberty Hall meeting, viz : Messrs.W. }).' Massev, Gedrge Tucker, John M. Coughlinand R. P. W.

No womau's lovj too rich a reward, and no remembrance too lasting. Our children and ourchil-jj dreu's children to. the latest generation should, while | playing around the mother's knee, betaught to glory in their triumphs and venerate their heroic deeds. What shall we say for him whoplanned the.se campaigns ? He told us nearly a year since that he "would fight it out on tl at line itit took all summer," and fight it out he did through the succeeding summer's heat, the frosts of falland winter's cold. The opening spring found him more persistent stronger and with more fight inhim than he ever had before. To withstand that iron will and boundless resource was impossible.The evacuation of Richmond and the retreat followed of neceesity. But the retreat was as hopelessas the defence of Rich- mond, for whichever way Lee and his worn ont and demoralized army fled,the same relentless foe confront- ed him, till at las^ as Tennisou nays of the famous "six iundred"''Chnnon to right of them, cannon to left of thera, cannon in front and rear voUied and thnadered."When General Grant, great in his magnanimity, asked General Lee to snn-ender, and offered himterms so gen- erous and so just that we are at a loss which to admire; the genius that planned, thecourage that aohieve4,oj the generosity that made the foe a friend.

The Charleston correspondent of the New Y TimeSi in his letter of the 5th inst., says : Within the past month, trade in Charleston revived to a wonderful degree. King streetis f'ai, alive with business, and on. Meeting and Br' streets the stores are being rapidly fitted up andcupied. Of course, we cannot expect that trade continue active through the heateî term. In ab twomonths business will drag, and not be really tive again until the iall season. The mercha: and tradersare making preparations for a good bu| oess at the close of the summer, at wliich ti Charlestonwill doubtless be the centre of trade the cities and towns in the interior. The ciiizi are anxious to


learn when the port will be decla: open by the government, and take the ground t: until it is thrownopen, the wholea'e business the aity must be limited. The .impfession previ here that the port willremain sealed until the of the war, for the reason that a surplus qua: of goods would tempt partiesto carry them acr the lines, a*proceeding, of course, which it is the Intefitiou of the government tofacilitate'. The time will come when the city will he pla on its old business footing, but the changefrom present state of aS'airs cannot be eftected in a w nor a month. Time must be had to repair thed: aged buildings, and to enable the old rhorchants accumulate sufiicient capital to start' in businafresh. At present the citizens of Charleston witho'.it means to engage inany e.\t jnsive erterpr: Thelower classes of people appear to have m^ money thijn the higher, and it is by their patron thatthe shops and stores now open are sustain Men who before the war were reported as very w thy,and who moved in the first circles of society, reduced to penury, while the clod-hopper of past isenjoying himself on the funds which be been secreting during the progress of the rebelli OFFICIALDECL4RA.TI0>"S TO FOREIGlT VEENMENTS.
