the SURRENDER Of LEE,

The announcement Of the surrender Of
General Lee and bis army has created an
universal feeling Of qualification among all
classes. 1t is regarded on all hands as
tan,amount to an announcement Of the
close Of war which has carried grief and
mourning into every sectio, Of our coun.
try, desoIatiug countless fresides and
making thousands of widows and orphans
A cessation Of hostilities 10 q cessation
Of grief; and the defeat of the armed
forces Of the South, is in effect the resto.
ration Of country practically discovered
during the progress Of the war. Hence it
is that not only spirit Of humanity but
one Of patriotism ircit,s the feeling Of
gratitute which imbues the minds Of all at
the reception Of the news of an event
which carries with it such train Of accep
taOie circumstances.
But in our rejoicing over this great vic
tory which has been accomplished, we
should not be unmindful Of those through
whose valor it has been attained. Nor
should We fail to express our sense of
what they have done for US and the whole
country ia some more substantial manner
than mere empty words. We speak more
particularly in behalf of the common
soldier those who have served in the
ranks-every one Of whom is hero and
should be treated and regarded as such by
oil who have any true appreeia ion Of
what they have endured and done tor the
preservation Of the country. The officers
will without doubt receive (as they shou'd)
their full need Of commcIdation ard re-
gard-but who is to look after the privates
who have borne the heat and burden of
the battle? None, rot one, unless the
press of the country make common cause
to impress upon the public tbs merits Of
these men, and their claim to reward
which they have so molly earned.

TIE NEXT CONGRESS. Chicago Re-
publican publishes complete list of the
names of the members of the two Houses of
the mex. Congress In the Senate, twenty
five States are now represented by 30 republic
cans and Unionists, and IL democrats. Ac-
cording to the party division that existed be-
fore the war, House of Representatives. now
stands $40 republicans and Unionists to 81
democrats; but on the great question of at
once admitting the representatives of the
Southern States or of keeping them, OR most
of them, for longer period in probation, it il
not probable that the same proportions will
be preserved. Should all the Southern States
now without representation, whose senators
and representatives are yet to be elected,
choose democrats opposed to negro suffrage,
as is to be expected they will do, and, should
they all be admitted, the Senate will then con-
tain forty-sevcn republicans and tnlonists,
and twenty--cvcn democrats; and the House
of Representatives would contain one hun
drcd and fifty republicans and Union lists, to
nincty-two democrats.

tcssor Richardson and myself accordingly
visited that section of Allegany County.
where lead was said to be discovered. On
the land owned by John Van Sickle lead ore
was exhibited to us, which was examined by
Professor Richardson, and pronounced by
him TO be equal to the ore found in the Galena
mines Professor Richardson, after an ex-
animation, expressed himself well satisfied
with the Indications offered of the existence
of lead.
In addition to the lead, which was axamin-
ed by Professor Richardson, specimen of
anthony was exhibited by David Robertson,
who Informed us that any quantity was to be
obtained in the same vicinity.
