Correspondence of tho Chicago Tribune.l
osTosAGox Mich, April 18Th. 1855.
TIE ordina1y quiet of our village usually
consequent on the temporary suspension Of
teaming TO and from the mines at the break
Ing up Of the winter roads, has been sadly
spoiled the past week By the reception of the
news from " the Last days of rebeldom."
The excitement on the fall OF Richmond
and Petersburg, Iand the conspicuous paet
which our own brave boys, the 9Th Mich
1gan Infantry, Col. Charles Waite, took
IN the reduction Of the latter, had not
tire army Of Northern Virginia, and the
necessary speedy and complete success
cf the Union cause which must follow,
reached us. Never has the intense enthu-
sasm' of men, women and children, been 20
universal or ran so high.
This was about p. m. On Sabbath the 18th
inst. All the guns, bells, drums and vocal
trgans Of our community we're brought into
imme diate md constant requls;tlon TIL mid
night, and resumed again on the dawn Of tho
following morning to last al day: AL usual
a7ocations were suspended on Monday, and
our people united In Spontaneous out pour
ing OF thanks to Him who giyeth us the VIC
tory, during the forenoon, and Of patriotic
speeches and general iubnatlons in tho after
noon.
And here Eallow me to remark;that to the
prompt arrival Of the CHICAGO DAILY iRID-
UNE, The fifth day from the: time Of Its publi-
caticn, are we indebted for this news and
this when sll routes to this country. except
the Creep Bay, Shawano aud Lake Vieux De
Seret are non est, etinsati6us IN s,odmpo. Yet
this route has recently been discontinued by
the department to make room for one over
which no mails were received, according to
The Marquette Journal, for an entire fortnight
in the early part Of March.
NAVIGATION OPENING.
The Ontonagtn River, the largest emptying
into Lake Superior, freed itself Of ice on tho
10th inst about the usual time. The eault
st.: Marie River and adjacent waters are gen
orally some two weeks later in opening, and
close at least that much earlier In the I'LL. 80
that the new steamer and railway route across
the Peninsula will have at least months
advantage In each season over the old water
route.
A south wind on Monday cleared the south
shore Of ice as far as one can see, and We are
now daily expecting the propeller Concord.
which w1ntered at Copper Harbor, to make
us her first visit for 1865.
In my next I will furnish you with some
mining news, and hope to add the collection
Of a cabinet Of mineral specimens from the
! mines Of our country to be sent to the North
| western Sanitary Fair.
Yours. truly, .. Il.
