From the Marlborough Gazette, April 9Th
Our community was yesterday thrown into a state

In the meantime, Mr.. Richard n. Ryon ard Mr.. Je-

TIE POPE AND THE FRENCH GOVERN

A correspond ,nt OF the clerical j,urnal lie Mnde,
writing from RENE, says tia: wren Plus *. was
spoken to once more by N de S.rtlges upon the
subject Of the withdrawal Of tie French troops from

troops; Withdraw them tomorrow, II you like, and
do not continually threaten. De- what you please
immediately" the correspondent Of the Monde
does not guarantee the strict accuracy Of these
NO DIS, but gives them as af0rdrg clear indication
of the attitude Of the Pope toward the French
Government II the opi1i,r of Catholics" he
aids, "he convention Of tre 18Th September creit's
ius1rmCuntablc difficulties il the path Of temporal
power, and compsls the Pope to exile himself once
more from Rome, that he may not have to repress
by force the disturbances which foreigners would

hacdul of factious men, The AoTde consoles
itse,f beforehand for the departure Of the Pope
from Rome by declaring that ;he moment re ssts

Italians will rsc3guiz; that Re aore is the bulwark
Of thsir ndepen 1srce; that &c a.oae can preserve
them from war, iron corruption, from abasement

The DESTROYED BANEs.-The military authorities
have posted guard around the sites Of the seve-
raj banks destroyed in the expectation
some Of the bullion that is said to be buried among
the ruins. On Tuesday, soldier ding ont strong
box from the Debris Of the Traders Bank, and ru.
nor said it gold, belonging to one of the for
egn Consus. Another soldier picked up 1 roll OF
State notes from the ruins Of the same hank, which
he held as nice speculation.
1t is very proper that guards should be stationed
about the ruins until such time as the owners can
reclaim their property which has escaped the fiery
ordeal.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

2 The HYGEIA OF THE CIrY.-We call the atten-
ton of the authorities to the fact that most of the
main and back streets of the city are ina very bad
condition. in view ofthe near approach of the warm
season, and that epidemic may be at any time
threatened by the continuance of the nuisance from
which we now daily suffer. The streets ought to
be cleared by the large surplus of negroes remain
ing in the city.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11
THE CITY.

SALUTEs IN HONOR OF THE GREAT EvENT.-The
city was resoundant Sunday night and yesterday
morning with the roar of cannon-salutes fred in
honor of the capitulation of Gen. Robert E. Lee
and the Army of Northern Virginia. Sunday mid
night, after the reception of the news, salute OF
oae hundred guns fred by the feet in the river
near Drewry's Bluff. At sunrise yesterday another
salute Of more than one hundred guns was fired by
the war vessels in the harbor. At 10 A. NJ. grand
salute of one hundred guns was fired from the
Square, the guns being stationed at the base ofthe
Capitol.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

A CRY RAILROAD.-We would urge upon our
city capitalists the prOpriety of at once moving in
the work of establishing city railroad. The only
railroad ever owned by the city was taken up in
1868 by order of the 'so-caled" Confederate Gov
.ernment, to aid in plating gunboats, which were
finished only to be blown up. Above all thing,
Richmond needs street railroad, for the walks
are steep and the ascent tedious. If the road is
not established by domestic enterprise it will be
established by Northern capital, and as final re-
sultwe think home enterprise ought to reap the
benefit.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

The CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-We understand this
Railroad is to be put in immediate repair to Staun
ton, and perhaps farther if the advance of the ar
my in that direction should justify it. The road is
broken in many places, and there are numerous
bridges to rel uild and repair.

4 CURIlUs AFFAIR." The correspondence Of the
San Francisco Bulletin, writing from Olympia,
Washinet,n Territory, relates the circumstances OF
4 curious affair at THAI port. The British cruiser
Forward was despatched there by The Governor Of
Vancouver Island, with a requisitOn upon the Gov.
ernor Of Washington Territory for authority to al
low the seizure Of the Bri sh merchant ship Frigate
Bird yin. at the port the mate Of the Frgate Bird
having refused % surrender command Of her 10 her
new captain appointed by her owners. Gov Evans
declined to permit her seizure saying he was not
authorized to permit foreign vessel TO seize ship
in he waters Of the United States, and it would be
n insult to our Admiralty Courts.
PgRsoyIL.-We' had the pleasure of call, yes
terday from Hon. Mr.. Arnold, Representative in
Congress from the Chicago District
Our old friend, Hon. L. H. Chandler, formerly OF
Norfolk, is also in the city, stopping at the Spots
wood.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

WASHINGTON Jokg.-The Washington CORES
pondent OF the Her2.d says:
A good story is in circulation here, that the day
before the commencement Of the recent military
movement which has resulted in the capture OF
Richmond, Mr. Lincoln, then at City Point, sent
by the hands of ga reliable contra band, as pres
e1t TO Jeff Davis, the identical long cloak and
Scotch cap in which, in 1851, Ny. Lincoln is said to
have travelled from Harrisburg 10 Washington
The present has evidently been appreciated.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

RICHMOND THE GRAND CENTRAL PoGNr.-Rich-
mond, it is said, is to be made central depot Of
milit airy operations and supply. Railroad commu'
ncation will be Immediately established there
with; extensive repair shops storehouses and other
public works are to be established, and the city
enveloped in an industrial Union atmosphere. The
War Department at Wash ington is still besieged
with innumerable applications for passes to Rich
mond, all of which are at present refused.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF Mrs. GEN. LEE.-We are
grieved to learn of the very serious indspositon
of Mrs. Gen. Robert E. Lee, at her residence in
this city. The great disaster which has overtaken
the Confederate arms has unnerved the great wife
of the great General quite, and we do not wonder
that her finely strung nerves should give way in
the struggle. Since the occupation of Richmond,
the Federal authorities have acted with the most
scrupulOus regard for the feelings of Mrs. Gen.
Lee At first, colored guard was placed in front
of the house on Franklin street, but upon it being
represented that the exhibition was, perhaps, an
insult to the lady of the mansion, the coored guard
was withdrawn and white guard substituted. We
learned last evening that the condition of Mrs.
Lee was somewhat easier, but the shock to her
constitution has been very severe, and there is not
much hope Of her recovery.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

THE FREDERICKSBURG RAILRoAD.-0ver a thou
sand labOrers are at work upon the Aqua Creek
end of the Richmond, Potomac, Fredericksburg and
AQUA Creek Railroad and it is expected that
trains will be running through in less than three
weeks.

REsuMING BUsIyEss.-Many of the merchants who
closed up their stores on evacuation morning. never
to open them again, are beginning to feel thrill
of business interest, and are here and there re-
suming business. Already some beginning to
speculate upon the chances of a trip to New York,
Philadelphia Baltimore, with view to laying in
a stock of goods for the spring and summer trade
With the unrestricted introduction of goods, bust.
ness would take a start in Richmond, the like of
which has not been witnessed since the war began
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

THE SPRING-Peope have been so absorbed with
other graver matters for week past that they have
failed to notice how rapidly the spring advanced
upon us with its array of verdure, foliage, buds,
and flowers. Now is the time for farmers to go to
work and get large crop for the harvest OF peace
and plenty. The hubandman can now plant with a
reasonable assurance of reaping his reward.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-11

A CoLoRED CoRREsPoSDENT.-Mr. Chester,
gentleman of color, dark as any Ethiopian in the
land, is in Richmond acting as the correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press. We have met Mr.. Ches-
ter: he is very intelligent man, modest, assumes

18th Wisconsin regiment lst brigade, Sd division,

ficab.e in his efforts to save this point and finally
succeeded, to his great credit. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars were saved by the energy and de-
termination Of Captain Rowley, whom we hope to
see rewarded in good time. Such devotion on the
part Of one whom we were taught to regard as an
enemy, should not pass without its reward.
