THE LOSSES. Gen. Grant estimates that in all the fighting. from Tuesday until Monday morning. the entire loss to us was 1000 men, more than 800 of whom were taken prisoners This sacrifice is terrible even when the almost immortal results for which these noble lives were given. are attained; but in comparison with the thousands that have been hurled blindly against Notifications with useless slaughter, or as vainly buried in dismal swamps of death, the number is small, and for that we ought to be deeply grateful. On the other hand it is estimated that the rebels have lest from fifteen to eighteen thousand killed and wounded and twenty-five thousand prisoners. Nothing so signal has happened since Waterloo. and Waterloo was more san- guinary for both parties.

 SCENES IN RIcHMoND.-Upon the occupation of the city many novel things occurred Food was so scarce that the poor went out to our camps to pick up the rations of beef and hard bread lying about there, and many car rled of the blankets they found lying in the log huts. The contrast between plenty on our side and want on the other was very great. Of tobacco, however, there seemed to be any quantity. Indeed the great features were want of food and an abundance of tobacco. Our boys were to be seen going about with large
 plugs stuck in their belts or in their hands.
 There seemed to be glut of the weed, and in
 wanton play the boys threw plugs at each l other.
 The fire in Richmond was very destructive
 The buildings burned were mostly on the low CT part of Main street, and thence to the river tobacco warehouses, storehouses, and the like The old Bank of Virginia building, how ever, and the newspaper offices, higher upon Main street, with many of the best shops, most of them long since converted into hospitals, were also in flames. In Roclsstt's, the worst quarter of the city, lower down the river, 1 good deal of mischief was done during Satur- day night.
 All the rebel vessels are destroyed except | an unfinished ram, which has her machinery in her, perfect The Tredegar works are un harmed and the machinery is under General Weitzeps orders. Libby Prison and Castle l Thunder have also escaped the fire and are 1 filled with rebel prisoners of war. The DispatcA and Examiner newspaper offices caught fire and were destroyed. The great railway bridge between Richmond and Man chester was blown up. The steamboats at Rockets shared the same fate. The capitol was set on fire, but was finally saved. The fine marble building on Main street, formerly United States custom house. and nearly oppo. site the American Hotel, was saved. Amongst the editors who fled with Davis was John Mitchell.

JEFF. DAVIS VALEDIcToRY PRocLAMAr1oN OF APRIL lsT.- Whereas In the course of i'm human Yankee events, the capital of the con- 1ederate states of America no longer affords an eligible and healthy residence for the mem- bers of the present cabinet, not to speak of tbe chief magistrate himself, the vice-president. and the members of the two congressional bodies, do, therefore, by virtue of the power vested in my two heels, proclaim my intention to travel lnstanter, in company with all the omcers of the confederate states government. and to take up such agreeable quarters as may yet be Granted unto me-
 To such persons as are in arms against the confederate states of America, I do hereby ten. der absolute amnesty on condition that they lortnWitn deslst from annoying our patriotic population.
 Under the circumstances, slavery had bet ter be abolished.
 The capital of the confederacy will hence- forward be found up a stump on the pictur- esque banks of the celebrated Last Ditch
 To the foreign subscribers to the confeder- ate loan return sincere thanks
 Major General Grant, U. s. A., will please see that they get their cotton.
 All persons having claims against this gov ernment will please present them to A Lincoln. Richmond, by whom all such accounts will be most cheerfully audited
 It IS not altogether improbable that the glo- rlous experiment of slaveholder's confeder acy may yet prove delusion and q snare. I have often thought so. So las Gen. Lee, who has lately been fighting mostly for his last years salary. The confederate treasury be- ing light, will take it inany valise. Geuer- al Lee thinks that we have good opening be- fore us, and that we have seen the last of this fratricidal war. hope so. Stephens thinks Feaee .1lloIo i,.,aiiIvHt than ever, recognize theeonfederacssr, cssrssGs!g sis in refusing to again urge the arming of the negroes.
