WASHINGTON, April l3.-The Rich
moud Wing. commenting on the address
to the people of Virginia, says 1t is un-
derstood that this invitation has been
put forth in pursuance of the plan OF
proceeding assented to by President Lin
coin. AT all events it will by hailed by
the great body of the people of Virginia
as the first steps towards the reinstate-
ment of the Old Dominion in the Union.
1t is possible that some of the members
of the Legislature may decline to come.
In every such case the people OF the
county or Senatorial district should Sc
lect some influential and intelligent clti-
zen who is willing to take part in this
business. and commission him as far as
they can TO represent them at the con-
ference.
The views and purposes Of the mem'
bers of the Legislature should be ascer-
tanned at once. Every one can foresee
difficulties in the way of formal action in
the beginning Several complex ques,
tsons are to be met at the threshold but
where there is will there is way, and
whatever the difficulties presented, the
importaut business must be undertaken:

We had hoped to print herewith the

We are appriscd, however by telegraph

licly debated III that city yesterday, while

silence: we claim. therefore, our equal
right to set forth our views, that they be
accorded such weight as they shall be
deemed to deserve.
We hear men say Yes, forgive the
great mass OF those who have been mis-
led into rebellion, but punish the leaders
as they deserve" But who can accu-

never taken up arms III its support, nor
have they held any important post ia ats

punish the original plotters Of Secession,

Press Dispatch.l

New YORK, April 13.-The Heralds
of Virginia, aud city of Richmond in par
ticular, appear to be at last done with
their experiment of q Southern Confed-
eracy, and are making preparations for a
return of their State to its former loyal
position in the Union. influential citi-
zens there are still engaged in endeavor-
ing to secure the best terms they can.-
The feeling of the majority Of the Rich
mondites against JEFF. Davis and other
leaders of the rebel Government is rep
resented as having become very bitter.
At least 5000 of the white people of Rich
mond are now entirely dependent on the
Government and northern charities for
their daily supply of food, and but for
these would starve Government officers
are now issuing 10000 rations to these
dupes of secession. The work Of clean.
ing up the city and taking possession of
Government and abandoned property of
all kinds, and putting them in proper OF
der, is being vigorously prosecuted under
the direction of General Shepley, and for
the necessary labor which this involves
large number OF negroes are employed
The amount of property thus secured to
the Government is enormous. Much Sc
creted property has been discovered in
dwellings of citizens, including it is said
vast quantities of articles sent from
friends in the North to administer to the
wants of imprisoned Union soldiers.
The remains of Colonel Dahlgren have
been discovered near Richmond, eXhum-
ed and sent to Washington.
1t is runored in Richmond that Gener
al Lee arrived there Monday night and
proceeded quietly to his residence.
The Tribune's special from Cit Point
says special train was to go to Burkes-

WASHINGTON, April I3.-Correspon,
dent from the Army of the Potomac says
that very little fighting took place on
the 7th inst. At Farmville there was
some skirmishing between the enemy's
rear guard and the I'd corps, with the I'd
division of cavalry, the result being un.
important. Lee had intended to fall
back to Burkesville, but being cut off by
our forces getting to Burkesville, he
changed his course and started toward
Lynchburg. A part of his army passed
through Farmville on the morning OF the
9TH.
After crossing the Appamuttox the
bridpes were burned, and before our
troops could get over the enemy had ia
ken position a mile from the river.
where they erected works and made a
stand IN order to allow their wagon train

river inst outside of the town division
of cavalry had taken up position. de-
termiped to annoy our advance while re-
constructing the bridge The I'd divis,

vigorously, driving them back some dis,
tance. but they had force disnounted
living in ambush, which poured heavy
| fire into our men as they advanced to the
second attack, and they were compelled
| to fall back on their supports The reo-
| els soon after retired, being indisposed
to await another charge The loss Oh
both sides was very light. The I'd corps
soon after crossed the river and pushing
ON after the enemy drove them behind
their newly built breastworks.
Gen. Smith was severely and it is be
lieved mortally wounded, in leading the
charge This was q sad loss to the com,
mand Every man in it feels The loss as
a personal one A more gallant soldier
never served his country. and he not

field, but as a gentlemen and friend he

The loss in the I'd corps will be about
$50, mostly of Smiths corps
On the morning before the enemy
crossed the river, IL guns were taken
from them and afterward 6 more, max,
