JOYFUL DEM0NSTRATIONS.-T news OF
the capture of Richmond was received at the
Merchants Exchange yesterday, about half
past eleven o'clock in the forenoon. As soon
as the dispatch was placed on the Bulletin
Board, shout arose from those present that
could be heard for half a milo. In one min
ute the room was crowded, and ringing cheers
went up for the President, Gems. Grant, Sher-
man and Weitze, and for the negro troops
that ioere the first to march into Richmond.
Business was entirely ignored. and every one
wore cheerful countenance; and nothing was
talked Of but the brilliant success of our glori-
Gus and gallant soldiers.
The joyful news spread with the swiltness
of electricity, and almost simultaneously flags
were displayed from the public and private
buildings all over the city. Commercial
STREET, from one end of it to the other, was
adorned with flags flying from the buildings,
while the shipping at the wharves were
dressed in their gayest colors.
At one o'clock all the bells in the city were
rung for half an hour, or more. 1t was
equal to Fourth of July celebration. Every
body was abroad and In the best of humor.
The mechanics left their workshops, and hast
ened to obtain the news, and congratulations
were exchanged by all. twas glorio1s day,
-one for which the people had been patiently
waiting and praying for, and when it came
they could not contain their Joy.

Esc3FKD fRoY FkiscN PEN.-Lleut. Col.
Thos- J. Leigh furnishes the New York Times
al interesting account of bis escape from the
prison-pen at Columbia. South Carolina He
was captured in the battle of the W wilderness,
in Virginia, May 5,h, and escaped on the 3lst

Why IT Is.-The Bee explains why it is
that, while greentacks command higher price
in San Francisco than in New York. they do
not come here and take the place of our gold ::
When greenbacks sell in New York for fifty
cents, and 10 San Francisco for ffty-six cents,
being paid Tor in gold. they will be worth from
one and half to two cents more on the dollar
in the latter. place than in the form.r When
they sell for fifty cents in New York and fifty.
four cents in San Francisco their market value
for all business purposes is no greater in one
place than the other. The expense of shipping
the greenbacks here and the gold back would
swallow up the four cents apparent difference.
80 that the man who should send Sl00 900 10
greenbacks from New York to San Francisco
purchase gold in the latter place, take the gold
to New Y York, and there buy greenbacks again,
would not at the end OF the transaction have a
dollar more than be started out with. Green
backs have not, as a general thing, sold in the
San Francisco market for over two cents more
than they were worth in the New York market
1t will be seen by this Illustration that to send
g:eenbacks here after our gold would prove
losing speculation.

DEArH OF WALTER S. DEMO o-The sudden
and quite unexpected demise of the late Wal
Ter S. DEMO, who held the responsible Office of
Meter and Refiner of the Mint in this city,
says the San Francisco Flag has caused the
closing of that establishment for probably the
next six weeks. Red tape requires that, till
Mr.. Denio's successor shall be appointed and
file his bonds, the business of the Mint must be
suspended, as the report of bis death can only
be conveyed to Washington by steamer, and
the name of his successor received through the
same channel, whose bonds will have to be
transmitted back, and notice of the acceptance
received from Washington before he can as
sumo charge of the department. The business
OF the Mint, is likely therefore to be suspended
for some time.

TEE movements of Mr. Gwin, il appears.
have been such ss to excite the fears and ap-
prebenslons OF the Government" of the United
States. The Internal "Copperheads" who re-
ceived such q cordial invitation 10 leave if they
did not like the manner in which Uncle be
administered affairs, are to be stopped and re-
quired to take the oath Of allegiance before
they leave our shores.-EzpTess.
We don't wonder ct the Express getting q
little indignant at the order Of Gen. Mcdowell
in requiring its Copperbead frieods to take the
oath Of allegiance; yet We do not think it
would be the means Of stopping any one who
would espouse such cause. Our Government
has to fight the rebels 10 the rebeIlious States
and guard rigidy the Copperheads 10 our
midst, to keep down riots and bloodshed, and
such precautionary steps are highly necessary.
Still. We hope the Express will not be deferred
in continuing to urge its Copperbead friends to
muster into the service of the Gwin- Napoleon
JEFF Davis Slave Mouarchy, for it will be much
better for this State. Many Of the Copper
heads" openly declare fighting opposition to
Unele Abes government, and their preference
for their Uncle Gwin, and there they should
go, take their capital With them. and. if they
wish TO 6ght, take q rebel or French musket.
When all are fairly mustered into service

perbeads," ready to do battle for slavery and

to drive the despots from the oppressed Re
