THE SURRENDER OF FORT sUMrER-GREAT REJOICING
AMONG THE PEoPLE-UNPARALLELED EXCITEMENT
The interest OF our citizens in the exciting events
lately occurring in the neighborhoOd of Charleston
South Carolina, always intense, as manifested by
the crowds that have thronged around the buIIetin
boards of the different newspapers during the mast
week, eliminated on Saturday evening on the re-
cepton of the news of the surrender of Fort Sum
ter, IN one of the widest most enthusiastic and ir
represSible expressions of heartfelt and exuberant
JOY on the part of the people generally that We
have ever known to be the case before in Rich
| mond. Nothing else talked Of or THOUGHT of
! save the great triumph achieved by the heroic
| troops OF the glorious Southern COnfederacv in
oblterating one OF the Illinois apes standing men
aces against the assertion of Southern rights and
| equality. so far the opinion of the people is
| concerned, it would have been much more tn The
old rall-splitters credit had he ordered Andersen
10 leave Fort Sumter, as untenabe ana undesira-
Die place, than to attempt, be and his coadiu
tors did, to make the undoubtedly gallant Major
the scapegoat of his insiduous and damnabIe views
We repeat, that had wise counseIs prevailed Tho
old ape would have had all the credit between n
graceful leave-takng and an ignominious exnul-
sion at the cannOn's mouth
As soon as the news was ascertained tn he nm
dOubtedy true, crowds of citizens assembled on the
different street corners, and by sundown the advo-
Gates OF Southern rights had resolved to celebr ate
the momentOus event, bv an appropriate saIuta oF
cannon. The services of the Fayette ARTILLERY
were procured, and amid the shouts of several
thousand people, ladies ard gentlemen included
one hundred rounds were fired with a will Judging
from the regularity of the DISCHARGES and thair
loudness. Afterwards, the cannon were discharged
in battery of the whole producing a grand climax
to the noise of the single guns
About twenty-five hundred persons were copgre-
gaed on the square, and patriotic and soul-tirring
addresses were delivered The reception accorded
t. the speakers but the echo of that sentiment
OF loyalty to section, which is the DISTINGUISHING
characteristic of the true Southerner EVERYWHERE
under all circumstances, in evil as well as good re-
port.
A resolution offered by Capt. Patton, and
adopted, follows:
Resolced, That we rejoice with high, exultant heart
felt joy at the triumph of the Southern Conderacv
the armed Government at Washington the capture of
| Fort Sumter.
| An entrance effected into the Capitol and
several mpulsive gentlemen making their wav to
the top of the structure, bad the glorious en-
| blem of Southern independence waving in the
breeze. We understand though we will not vouch
for the truth of the assertion, that it was after
| wards taken down bv Governor Letcher's order
Saturday night the Offices of the Dispatch, En-
quirer and Eraminer, the banking house of Enders
Sutton & Co, the Edgmont House, and sundry
other public and private places, testified to the gen
eral Joy by brilliant illumnations.
Hardly less than ten thousand persons we're on
Main street, between Sth and l4th, at one time
Speeches were delivered at the SpOttswood House.
at the Dispatch corner, in front of the Enquirer
office, at the Exchange Hotel, and other places
Bonfires were ilighted at nearly every corner of
every principal street in the city, and the light of
beacon fires could be seen burning on Union and
Church Hills The effect of the illumination was
, grand and imposing. The triumph of truth and
justice wrong and attempted insult was never
more heartily appreciated by spontaneous uprising
of the people. Soon the Southern wind will sweep
away with the res!sess force of tornado all yes
tge of sympathy or desire of cooperation with a
yrant who, under false pretences, in the of a
once glorious, but now broken and destroyed Union,
attempts to rivet on us the chains of despi-
cable and ignoble vassalage. Virginia is moving.
Tonight, in order to give further expression to
the general joy, there will be grand torchght
procession. Parties desiring to unite therein are
requested to meet at the CITY Hall, at 81 o'clock
with their transparencies. The line of march will
be headed by Smiths First Regiment Band, and
will move up Broad to lst street, cross to Franklin,
to 5th street, cross to Main street, down Main to
18th street. down Franklin and up Franklin to the
Exchange Hotel. Let all turn cut, and glorious
time may be expected.
Just as the cannon were being fired on the
southern plateau of the Square, the sound of mar
tia music was heard, and shortly thereafter large
f body of men, headed by Smiths Band made thei
appearance at the western gate, and crossing the
! Square, entered that leading to the residence o
= Gov. Letcher. In front of the Gubernatorial man
sion the crowd halted, and when the band proceed
ed to play the Marseiles Hymn and Dixie, after
, which loud calls were made for the Governor
who, after time, appeared at the door, looking al
if he did not know exactly whether to regard thu
call a complimentary one, or something its exac
reverse
The Governor said, in substance, that any citi
zen must appreciate the compliment bestowed upo,
him. but be must acknow ledge that he did not n
derstand the character of the present demonstra
tion, as he had received no previous intimatiou q
it. Having said this, he thought he had gon
about far enough, but he would add, that wheney
er the rights or honor of Virginia were assailee
, he would be found ready to defend them cost wis
! it might. He bowed and withdrew
