From the Late Rebel Capital.

Nav YoRK, April ga special to the
Post says:
There is no doubt that ex. Senator Hun
ter and Judge Campbell returned to Rich
mOnd TO see what could be done about
peace. The President will probably soon
issue another amnesty proclamation.
The Richmond Wing says Governor
Smith made speech on Sunday, saying
the rebel troops were victorious, and Rich
mond should not be surrendered, and then
left on horseback.
A large number of rebel prisoners arrived
in Washington this morning who are desi.
rous Of taking the oath of allegiance.
A letter from Richmond, dated April
9Th, says:
The new slate of affairs in the city gives
general satisfaction to the residents, who
show their gratitude by rendering every
attention and information to our soldiers;
and on the soldiers part they are kind
and courteous, thus giving contradiction
to the false reports of the rebel press. The
best of order prevails. The streets after
tattoo are free from soldiers. excepting the
patrol or changing of guards. No bar
rooms are yet allowed to be opened, and
what whisky is found is confscated and
poured into the streets.

COLUMBUS, April s.-7Hs STATE Of Ohio.
Executive Department, April 8, ls65.-The
God of battles has blessed our armies and
the glorious cause of human freedom. IN
der his approving smiles the patriotic and
brave men in the field have achieved nm.
paralleled triumphs, the rebel capital has
been conquered and given back to the
Union, aud the army that held it in rebel
lion has been broken and scattered. The
military power of the rebellion, the strong
est obstacle to peace, has received terri.
BILE shock, and our gallant armies are pur.
suing it to fnal extinction. For all this
we owe praise and thanksgiving to AL
mighty God. Recognizing the services and
sacrifices of our noble soldiers and re-
joicing over the triumph of the right, the
crushing of the rebellion and an early re.
turn to peace and prosperity in the land, it
is therefore recommended that Friday next,
the 14th day of April, being the anniver-
sary of the fall of Fort Sumter, be gen.
orally observed by the people of the State
as day of Thanksgiving to God and gen.
eral rejoicing; that religious assemblages
and obserVances mark the day, and the
evening be given to bonfires, illuminations
and the laundering of artillery, public as.
semblages and speeches, and such other
manifestations as may be suggested to ap.
mark the heroic deeds of our
armies and the generaljoy of our people at
the early restoration Of the Constitution
and good government.
