The result Of the Fall Of Richmond.
Richmond is ours. What that tremen-
dous fact contains and involves, let US bor-
row the words of Richmond oracle to ex-
press to ourselves. Said the Richmond
Examiner, on the 9th of February last q
little more than one month ago.
"The evacuation Of Richmond would be
the loss Of all respect and authority towards
the Confederate Government, the dis
integration of the army, and the aban-
donment of the scheme of an Independent
Southern Confederation. The war would,
after that speedily degenerate into an
irregular contest, in which passion would
have more to do thsn purpose; which
would have no other object than the
mere defense or pre- sent safety Of those I'm
mediately persisting in it. The hope of
establishing Contederscy and securing
its recognition among nations, would be
gone forever. The common sense of the
country, the instinct of every man and
that any possibility Of Sn Independent
South would remain after its capital was
abandoned, the Government set 8drift and
its army withdrawn into the solitudes Of
the interior. Richmond has be-
come the symbol OF the Confederscy. Its
loss would be msterial ruin TO the cause,
and, in a moral point of view, absolutely
destructive, crushing the heart and e1-
tinguishing the last hope of the country.
Our armies would lose the incentive in
spired by 8 great and worthy object of de-
fense. Our military policy would be to-
tally at sea we should be without hope
or an object; without civil or military or
gsnization; without treasury or COM
missarist; without the means of keeping
alive a wholesome and active public senti-
ment; without any Of the appliances for
cause depending upon the
popular faith and enthusiasm; without
the emblems or the semblsnce Of nation

GOV, ,TENTON's PROCLAMATIOE.

ALBIKY, April 6.
The following proclamation has been IS
sued by Reuben Fenton, Governor OF the
State of New York:
Richmond has fallen. The wicked men
who governed the so-called Confederate
States have fled their capital, shorn of their
power and influence. The rebel armies
have been defeated, broken and scattered,
and the formidable character Of the rebel
lion is apparently at an end. Victory ev-
erywhere attends our banners, and our ar
mics, under Providence, are rapidly moving
10 the closing scene of the war. Through the
self-sacrifce and heroic devotion of our
soldiers the life of the Republic has been
saved and the integrity of the American
Union maintained. In view of these i'm
portsnt events, of the achievements of our
noble armies and their gallant leaders; in
view of the progress made in suppressing
the rebellion, and the encouraging pros
poets of an early return of peace, there is
great cause for rejoicing, Thanksgiving and
prayer, I, Reuben E. Fenton, Governor of
the State of New York, do therefore issue
this, my proclamation, assigning Friday,
the 14th of April, the day appointed for the
ceremony of raising the United States flag
on Fort Sumter, as a day of Thanksgiving,
prayer and praise to Almighty God for the
signal blessings we have received at his
hands, and I hereby recommend religious
sections, of all denominations, to open their
places of worship, and people sbstsining
from their usual avocations, to assemble
there, and with grateful hearts in prayer
and praise to Him who has so mercifuIly
remembered us in the hour of our greatest
need and peril.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand, and affixed the privy seal of the
State, at the city of Albany, this sixth
day of April, A. D. 1865.

The New York Herald of Tuesday pub
fishes the following dispatch from its Wash
ington correspondent. It is not at all prob
able or credible:
The grand success of our armies before
Richmond, during the last three days, has,
in measure removed the secresy from
events which have trsDspired at City Point
since the President arrived there. lam
informed by high official in the govern
ment that in the early part of last week
JEFF, Davis made direct overture 70 Mr..
Lincoln to surrender everything to the
United States government, and asked but
one condition-everything else he would
yield. That condition was, that all who
had taken part in the rebellion should be
restored to citizenship. All else he would
give up if that would be granted.
Mr.. Lincoln's reply was that He did
not have the power to grant that point
Congr had passed law expressly pro-
hibiEing all persons in this rebellion hold
ing important official positions IS well as
ali in their armies above the rank of colo
mel, from being restored TO citizenship, and
had, therefore, taken it out of his power 10
sccede to that proposition" This ended
that peace negotiation, and fighting COM
menced within forty-eight hours after
wards.
/ The President wrote to Secretary Seward
detailing the above facts. The latter, upon
receiving the letter, Immediately started
for City Point to urge the President to
accept the proposition immediately, call an
extra session Of Congress, and appeal to
their msgnsnimity to ratify the terms of
settlement. But before Mr.. Seward arrived
the fighting had commenced which has
resulted in the capture of Richmond.
These facts are from reliable source, and
may be considered semi-officisl.

4 sharp Recruif.

The Richmond Enquirer tells the fol-
lowing Of negro recruit who has since
managed to get within our lines: Some
days since free negro, named John Scott,
applied at the recruiting rendezvous for
negroes, corner of Cary and Twenty-frst
streets, and asked to be enrolled. He said
he had been doing well before, was the
owner of q boat on the canal, and was
making money shipping supplies to Rich
mond, but the Yankees under Sheridan
came along and robbed him of his entire
cargo, and burned his boat. He had been
told that they wouldn't treat free negroes
so-now he knew better. "And now"
continued the recruit addressing L;euten-
ant Bosseieux, the officer in charge of the
rendezvous, 'noW 1 wants to jine right
away wants to fight dem damn Yankees.
that treated me so bad, for Use got no nus
sin in the world but jist what l stands in,
and wants TO fight dem dat robbed me"
"Why, Scott" said Lieutenant Bossisux, to
test him, ssyou couldn't fight what do you
know about a gun ?" On, yes, Capn,
knows heap about gun" sndScottth,ew
himself into the position Of aZ1usve skirm-
ishing, snd put up his arms for an imsgin-
sry musket. "Jist let me git bead on 'em,
and I'll bring 'em every pop" Scott was
enrolled q patriotic volunteer, seeking re-
venge for losses inflicted on him by the
enemy, and, clad in better clothes than he
had sported for many day. All went on
well for some time, Scott proving himself a
good recruit and apt to learn Hardees
tactics. But Scott had learned the rogue's
tactics before entering the military of the
Confederate States. So, on Sunday last,
an opportunity presenting, he bundled up
about twenty five pair Of soldiers drawers,
pants, shoes, caps, and socks, and putting
in brilliant practice one of the military
movements, the double quick" deesmped.
He was pursued to the vicinity of Howard
Grove Hospital, but executing another
dexterous movement, the "right wheel,
eluded his pursuers and escaped.

'sThe Life of Csesar.''-.-PerpIexItie Of
a Printer.

"Ahe Lie OF Cesar. aF.'-.-PerpleX1ueS OF
a Printer.
The very air is full of Cesar; all heads
seem turned with the endesvor to find out
the enigmss contained in the Emperor's
preface; and the mania of comparison is
extended to every work in which the great
warrior statesman is mentioned. Michelet's
forthcoming work, the "Lives of the
Twelve Caesars" is already largely sub
scribed for, and already are some of the
chapters commented upon. It will be q
curious study, and one which scarcely gives
pleasure to the Emperor, to contemplate
the consequences of Cesar in the history of
his successors. ave have already arrived
at his nephew Augustus-Hesven save Us
from Ti6erius," exclaimed Thiers, rubbing
his little hands, after pointing first to the
Emperor and then to Prince Napoleon,
on the day of the opening of the Cham.
bers. Nobody can deny that the "Life of
Cesar" has become the leading event of
the day. Already has the publication
even of the preface given rise TO certain
Legendary tales, which will be handed
down with the history Of Its appearance.
Thus it is recorded that PloD, the printer,
had taken the most scrupulous precautions
against publicity. Every measure was
adopted to ensure silence and discretion
on the part of the workman engaged in
printing, and each one was employed in
turn to set up small portions Of the type,
60 that none could even guess the tenor Of
the whole. Just as the impression of the
preface was concluded, q avsguerumor reach
ed the bewildered printer that some Of the
pages were circulating in Germany. Pre-
| csutionery measures were redOubled. The
compositors were closely watched while at
| their lsbors, the messengers were escorted
/ by confidential clerks" when they carried
the proofs to the authors palace for cor
rection, and when the sheets were returned
they were Immediately placed by Plon
/ himself under lock and key in the strong
| box of the establishment. But in spite
of all, another more terrible shock arrives
from Vienna. The Presse, of that
city, has the whole of the preface, with
which It's columns are decorated from top
| bottom! Then the nerves of the poor
printer give way at last. He seizss his hat,
and rushes off to throw himself st the test
of his customer. He weeps-he vows-he
protests. He would have torn his hair had
not time and nature forbidden this express
sion of his grief. He sues for pardon as he
50 emnly swears that it WAS by no fault o.
his that the precious fragment had been
given up TO public curiosity in Germany
The answer is all benign, the smile il
sweet, the voice is soft with which he is as
sured that sll is right, and no harm done
" Comfort yourself, my good fellow, know
you did not send the preface to Vienna;
sent it myself" What the sstounded prin'
ter replied to this disclosure has not beer
made public.-PaTiS Letter.
