"RIcnMoSD TAKEN i"-About sundown
Saturday evening it was announced in our town
that Gems. Keys, Stoneman and Peck had cap
tured Richmond. Later in the evening tele-
graph reports gave stronger indications of the
truth of the statement. SO the patriotism of the
people boiled over. and their rejoicings found
vent in shouts, music, bonfres, bell ringing and
the firing Of muskets and "Old Croghan.' Some
shook their heads with unbelief but still the
thing acOu9d celebrate. Midnight brought tele.
gram from Philadelphia, which confirmed mos,
in the belief of its accuracy, and great joy was
manifested by all. Sunday was quiet, and We
are glad to say no noisy demonstrations were
made in our town. Day after day the reports
brought down the fever of excitement, until the
story was found wicked hoax. Well Rich.
mond WILL be taken, and the rebellion, root and
branch totally exterminated. Copperheaded
sympatizers with traitors, saw but the initial of
the peoples joyful demonstrations which will
run and ring through the land when that is &C !.
complished. Stand by the Government.
