On Saturday night the Five Forks
was carried by Sheridan and the Fifth
Corps. 1t was IN unexpected blow to
Lee. lie ordered down in hot haste
nearly all the rebel troops north Of the
James, but they Were too late 10 regain
what had been lost. Before they arrived
in Petersburg the Ninth Corps, ut four
o'clock, had four forts. Then the Second
Corps took the fort south of Haicher's
Run. on the Boydtown road. Then the
Twcnty-tourth Corps made their splendid
assault, and swept over the emb;.nkmentS
of two other Notifications. and the Sixth
Corps, with irresistible impetuosity, broke
through the rebel lines. and gained the
rear of Petersburg Through the day
watched the rolling on OF the tide-the
frantic efforts of the rebels to resist it
the connection i'll Petersburg-thc black
columns of smoke ascending from burning
building>-and knew that Richmond must
be ours to-day, for Petersburg is the key
to the rebel capital, and the give Forks"
in this instance, proved to be the key of
Petersburg.
At three o'clock this morning there was
an explosion which shook Richmond to
its foundations, and which made even the
beds at City Point hcavc, as If IN earth
quake had shaken the globe. 1t was the
blowing up of the iron-clads. Those who
saw it describe it as sight surprisingly
grand. 1t reused the army from slumber.
The hosts surrounding Petersburg needed
no other reville. The soldiers were on
their feet in IN instant, and Gen Wilcox
Commanding the first division of the
Ninth Corps accepted it as a signal to adj
vance. lie Was lying east of the city,
his right resting on the Appomattox. His
men sprang forward, but found only de-
serted works. The last body Of rebels
the lingerers who were remaining to plum
der the people of Petersburg-took to
their heels, and the division entered the
oitv without onnoc;t;n,
The entire army were instantly put in
motion. Engineers hurried up with pom
toons, laid them across the Appomattox,
and the army began its pursuit of Lee.
My stay in Petersburg was brief. Know
ing that Richmond must be ours, although
the intelligence that it had been evacuated
had not reached Petersburg, made haste
to the cars in season to see
PRESIDENT LINCOLN.

diers at Meade Station caught a sight of
him and cheered most heartily. He came
upon the platform and bowed On Friday
he looked careworn The failure of
Grants plans on Thursday troubled him,
but the great victory had smoothed the
deep wrinkles. He is much worn by con-
slant work, care and anxiety, but now he
can take time to grow young again, for
the nations new lease of life is arrived.
He acknowledged the enthusiasm and de-
votion of the soldiers by bowling, and by
thanking them for the great victory they
had won.

was made for him, and be was found injured as
above. And the horrors Of his situation were in

he fell into a wAtcr-bole, was wet to the waist

OBITUARY..

We take the following obituary notice of.one Of
the early publishers of the Maumee Valley, from
the Blade, of Thursday last:
From the Y. Herald of Monday we learn that
Stephen I. HoSmcr, typo, formerly Of this city,
and one ot the earliest printers in the Maumee
Valley, died in that city on Sunday last
In 1910 Mr. Hosmer published the N,aaee Ricer
Times at Maumee City, and subsequently selling
his interest in that paper to II. 7. Smith, he came
to Toledo and worked as "jour" on the Weekly
Blade. While thus employed the writer Of this
article made his acquaintance, and had his first
experience as roller-boy. In the fall of 1913, we
believe, Mr.. Hosm,r went TO Perrysburg aud COM
menced the publication of The Receilie, a paper
Party, and in the conduct Of which Mr.. H. exhib-
itcd no ordinary amount Of talent He continued
the publication Of This paper for several years,
when he disposed of the concern to become con-
ncctedwith his brother i'll the publication of tho
Blade. This relation of short duration, the
establishment again changing hands,
Soon afterward, Mr.. IIosmcr went 10 New York
and accepted position. as prOof-rcadcr in the
Office of the n Y. Herid, and retained his connec-
tion with that paper until his death. His age was
IS years and months.
He was one Of the most frank, honest men we
ever knew, and to this may be attributed in great
measure his popularity. As proprietor and con
ductor of a weekly paper, perhaps he enjoyed a
larger patronage and welded stronger influence
than almost any other publisher in the Maunce
country IL was evcrybody's friend, and sonsc-
quently every ono was friendly to him. AS a
printer he had few equals and no superOrs.
