How They celebrated the ran OrRIeh-

HOW IneY CeAeDFHNeu LuC ran OL E4lCn-
moDd in Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette thus describes the re-
joicings in Washington over the news Of
the capture of Richmond:
The news of the fall of Richmond came
upon the Capital shortly after breakfast,
and while all were awaiting official bulls-
tins that should announce 6 renewal OF
the fighting. 1t ran from mouth TO mouth,
from street to street, till within ten min
utes the whole town was out, and for
wonder Washington wss in q state Of gen.
uine old fashioned excitement, such as it
has not experienced since the memorable
Second Bull Run. The Treasury Depart
ment first caught the infection, General
Spinner heard the news, got out the drum
mers of the Treasury guard regiment, and
in moment had the whole force, 1000
strong, cheering till the roof seemed In
danger. Meanwhile, the War Depart
ment clerks got walked up, and applied to
Stanton for excuse from duty. Stsnton's
reply wss Characteristic; ali the clerks
don't know enough to take holiday for
themselves at such time as this, pity
them" In the Interior Department the
clelks hesIirg the news almost run crazy,
snd all, rushing into the long corridors
that run around the building, raised cheer
that reused that whole section of the town.
The Commissioner of Pensions was first
called out and made few remarks next
the Secretary and then the Commissioner
of Patents and of the Land Office. Then
the whole body of clerks united in singing,
Rally Around the Flag, Boys" By this
time the streets were thrOnged with clerks,
citizens and strangers, crowding the War
Department. Stanton was called out, and
made few remarks, after which the
crowd sang, "Rslly Around the Flag"
and cheered until they we're hosrse.
Presently Secretary Stanton appeared
sgain at an upper window, and, after pro-
longed efforts, obtained a cessation of the
shouts while be read WeitzePs dispatch an-

After each sentence the cheers burst out
afresh, utterly irreprossible. The sentence
saying the enemy left in great haste, was
greeted with tumultuOus and derisive
laughter; and that saying, "Richmond was
on fire." with cheers louder than ever be-
FORE When 1t was sid that efforts were
being made to put out the fire, they cried,
"Let it burnl Let it burn |" When twas
announced afterwards that the inhabitants

Monday was black day, not only for
rebels but for Democrats. The elections
Yesterday universally resulted in UIion
triumphs. We have yet to hear of single
Democratic success. Throughout this State
the municipal and township elections have
demonstrated the abiding patriotism of the
people. Cincinnati went two to one for
the Union party, and even Columbus, which
gave Mcclellan five hundred majority, has
been carried by the UniOnists. In Michi-
gan the Union ticket for Regents of the
6tste University hasswept the State. Con-
necticut has gone the same way by an sb-
solutely unprecedented msjOrity. electiDg
q Union Governor, State officers, Legisla-
ture and four Union ngressmen-s gain
of one. The Democrats commenced work
on election day under the cloud of Grants
grand victory, and when the news of the
fall Of Richmond reached them they sban-
doned sll hope and all effort.

Yhe Victims of Capitalization.

There are two men whose nan es will, in
time 20 come, be celebrated by chronicler
and poet-Who are like Gagged esgles, or
lions in den. In Asia Minor there lives
8 recluse, patiently meditaling upon the
Koran, and writing, in his small, delicate
Arabic caligrspby, q book of prayers. Who
is this man with the thin moustsche and
gray beard-with the long robe of brown
serge, through which his brown bare arms
are visible? He is one whom Victor Hugo
called "pale spectre in white burnous p
he fought against ClAusel and Bugeaud
and Pelissier, all now dead; be foiled the
French for years, and led cloud of horse
men across the desert; he is Abd-el- Kader.
In the heart of Russia lives another patriot,
who grows fat, they say, and cold, and
tired. When he was young, he excited
whole people to frenzy OF martial ardor;

Onr civ ERECTION.

The triumph of the Union party 10 the
eisy election of MONDAY by sn average
majority Of nearly one thousand, is most
en- phatic ard gratifying response to the
war news of the d1y. Had the Democrats
carried the election, and the city been
placed in an attitude of hostility TO the
government on the very day on which the
crowning success of the war wss achieved,
the Unionists of Cleveland would have
had good cause TO hang their heads in
shame. But they did their work well, and
the result is one which does honor to their
fidelity and patriotism. The victory was
a complete one. Our entire city ticket,
composed from top to bottom Of excellent
citizens and men well fitted for their posi-
tions, has been elected by an unexpectedly
large msjorily. The City Council and
Board of Education are Overwhelmingly
Union. The Union Ward tickets were
successful IL eight of the eleven wards Of
the city. Thus has Cleveland responded
to the glorious Union triumphs in the
elections held elsewhere yesterday, and to
the stu more resplendent Union victory
which gave Richmond to our forces.

DR.. G. B. LIGHTHILL'S first visit TO
Ohio was induced by numerous applics-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except after
a personal examination. His practice has
been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of many citizens, be has consented,
before returning TO Europe, TO visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters, so that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years Dr. LighthiIl
has paid exclusive attention to the tTeat-
ment Of deafness and catsrrh in its vsri-
GUS forms. He has practiced in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. E.B. Lighthil, and, to-
gether, they have acquired a standing
which has earned for the " "Lighthill In

Freedmen,s NatiOnuI Rank,

Several days ago, dozen colored men
from Boston, New York. Philadelphis,
Washington and elsewhere met by invi-
tation at the room of Senator Pomeroy, of
Kansas, to initiate measures for establish
ing a freedmen's national bank, to be To-
Gated in this city. One of the coiored men
IS reported to be worth $3.50, 1000, which he
invested in government securities. There
was wealth enough amongst them TO SUBJ
scribe 10 capital of 100000. Applica.
ton was accordingly made 10 the Comp
trOller of the currency for the proper su-
thorizatiOn 10 establish such bank. This
request will be granted, provided the State
banks converting themselves into national
banks, which have a preference, shall not
absorb the INIT of the aggregate capital
prescribed by Congress. A final decision
will be given after the lst of July next on
the application for Freedmsn's Bank.

remarkable Prediction of General

BHerLlHns
When General Sherman, On the 22d of
January, left Savannah, his plan for the
campaign through South and North Caro-.
lima wGs completed, and IS he turned his
face from the sea TO the country northwsrd,
he said "On the 2Oth Of March 1 will
strike my base" On the 10Th Of March,
near Bentonyille, less than twenty miles
from Goldsboro, ne was repulsing the mad
onslaught Of Johnston; and on the 2lst,
having TerTy's column of Scho6eld's army
fortified st Cox's Bridge on the Neuse,
within one day of his appointed time he
was in safe and sure communication with
General Schoheld st Goldsboro, his future
depot of supplies. This remarkable predic-
tion, and prompt fulfllment, we venture,
will pass into history as the most striking
proofs of bis ability, Of his remarkable fore
sight, of his determstion ofPurpose. What
remarkable man this, who two months ago;
quietly sitting in his rooms at Savannah,
pictured the misery and planned the desti-
ny of those tens of thousands who TO day
roam houseless and homeless overthe broad
track Of desolation that marks the march
of his proud army What man tois, who
tears aside the veil that hides the future,
and maps out the marches and battles of
$4,000 veteran troops, and, ignoring
all obstacles or possibilities, commands the
point at which supplies and stores shall be
collected for him, and appoints the day
on which hat army shall finish march of
five hundred miles. Our ancient myth
ological tales picture to US Lschesis, the
Goddess Of Destiny, smiling and plsyfully
holding tho thread on which depends the
limit of ell things, even the proudest prcj-
ects of gods and men, In modern My
thology, this man will be pictured IS hold
ing the thread of destiny with frmer
hand, and melting out to states, and cities
and hundreds Of thousands of people, their
destiny by steiner DEGREES. Correspond

The speaker evidently was inclined TO re.
gard the latter individual as entitled to the
pre-eminence in qualification. He st
length reminded members that it was the
Let dsy of April, and furthermore an
nounced that if he desired to see members
be would send messenger direct from the
chair 10 ask their attendance. In the SEN
ste, bogus bill was introduced, and made
some talk, but the proceeding was frowned
down as unworthy the dignity of the BODY.
On the whole, All Fools Day was best eel
ebrsted by the Legislature, forty. eigt
hours in advance, the evening after The
passage of the Paid Fire Department Bill.

s.News from Rebel gourees. .,


For the last two years the telegraph has
furnished us daily with digest of the
Richmond papers, under the head of "news
from Rebel sources" and some Of the most
interesting news of the war has resched
the North through this channel. General
Grant has changed all that. The Rich
mond pspers are no more. The Dispatcb
the Whig, the Eranli1eT, the Enquirer,
the Sentinel have gone the way OF all flesh.
They have joined their whilom cotempors-
ry, the Charleston Mercury, in that dresd
Limbo to which, when they die, all bad
newspapers go. Never again shall we be
edited by their bold blustez and Gheir swsg-
gering defiance. Never again will they
inform US that Sherman is marching to his
sure destruction, that Wheeler has ami
hilsted Fitzpatrick, or that the evacuation
ofrebsl towns and territory is "a blessing
in disguise" The Richmond editors were
faithful unto the LAST. They fought the
battles of the Confsderacy Gn their sane
tums) much more feroeiously and success
fully than Lees army in the field. They
lied and clustered and threatened with
their latest breath. But they were only
mortal, and, when Lee and Davis fad in
terror from the grim Lieutenant General,
they could hardly be expected to face him
single-hsnded. So they departed, and, in
their stesd, President Lincoln sends to the
people Of the United States fully as roli-
able and possibly somewhat more sstisfac-
tory Hnews from Richmond

Henry Ward Beeeher on the Re-Cap-
tire of Fort Sumter.

tire of Fort Sumter.
On Sunday last the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher formally announced to his con-
gregstion that he would be absent from his
usual post of duty for the next two Sab.
baths. His remarks are reported as fol-
lows in the New York Times:
He said that he had been called upon TO
sccoT panY the members of the Govern
ment and the officers of the army IS they
go to raise again over the ruins of Fort
Sumter the national ensign At other
times, when the prospect of lifting the fss
to its former place seemed almost vision
sry, he had spoken of such an event with
iubiistion. But now, as the time in reality
drew near, his soul tremhled within him st
its solemn mesning. Many would go
there imbued with this feeling of solemn
jubilation, in this wonderful event in the
history OF this people. He should be sorry
if any went there with any other feeling
than that of Christian patriotism. If 9TH
ers went there with feelings of exultation
over fallen foe, for his part he went as q
brother to appeal to misled brethren from
the day OF their Misrepresentation TO the
day of their better knowledge. 1t would
be TO say to them that, after four
years of blood and darkness, we had
brought back to them the came hearts of
love that they had smitten in these long
years. If there be any minded in that
spirit to 60, praying the blessing of God to
rest not on the North alone, not on the
whole undivided country, he would wel-
come them. After adverting to the fact
that the government steamer would only
carry officials, but that excursionisls would
have opportunities to go by private vessels,
Mr.. Baecher continued his remarks by sta
ting that the brethren of the church had
resolutions expressive of the
church had prepared resolutions expressive
of the feelings of the church in regard to
this most important event. These resolu-
tions woul1 be brought up after the lecture
on Wednesday evening, and, if approved,
would be in some sense his commission to
address the people of the South, exhibiting
the feeling Of Christian fellowship enter
tanned for them.
Mr.. Beecher preached an eloquent SER
mon from the text All things work to-
gether for good to those who love God" and
had given out the closing hymn, when he
a telegram from Secretary Stanton
the successes of our army. This
he read, exciting the sympathies of his
audience to burst of patriotic applause.
Instead of the hymn first announced,
"America" was substituted, which the con-
gregation sang with great fervor and much
of heartfelt ioy.

The Washington Chronicle vouches for
the fact that short time since Lieuten-
ant of the rebel army deserted and came
within our lines. On his way he met
Federal soldier deserting and making his
way to the rebel lines. 1'he rebel Lieu
