SUMMARY OF NEWS.

Richmond is captured. Petersburg and
Richmond were evacuated by the rebels
during Sunday night, and the rebel capt.
tai was occupied by General Weitzel at
quarteg past eight o'clock Monday norm
ing. The city had been set on fire, but
immediate measures were taken to ex-
tinguisl the flames. General Grant had
at an early hour started the union army
in the direction of the Danville Railroad,
to cut off General Lees retreat if posi-
BILE.
The four days of strife have resulted
triumphantly for the Union arms! Grant
had massed 100, 900 men on his left 10
execute his long cherished purpose of
Selling the South Side road and compel
ling the surrender or evacuation of the
rebel capital. Sheridan with TO- O ca
valry. and a strong cooperating force of
infantry and artillery, led the advance.
Lee did not wait for the brunt of the as
sault, but sought to take advantage of the

EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
WILSON STATION, Va, April 4.

Hon. E. II Stanton, Secretary Of War;
The army is pushing forward in the
hope Of overtaklng or dispensing the re-
malnder Of Lees army. Sheridan with
his cavalry. and the 5lh corps, is between
THIS aud tile Apponattox; Gen Meade
with the 81 and 9Th following. Gen.
Ord is following the line of the South>ido
RaIiroad. All OF The enemy that retains
anything like organization have gone
north of the ~AppomatIox, and are appa-
rentIy berding for ~Lynchburg. Their
losses have been very heavy. Houses
through the country are nearly all used
as hospitals for wounded men. In every
direction | hear Of rebel soldiers pushing
for home, some in large and some in
small squads, aud generally without
arms.
The cavalry have pursued so closely
that the enemy have been forced to dcs-
troy probably the greater part of their
transportation, c~aissonS and munitions of
war. The number Of prisoners captured
yesterday will exceed two thousand.
From the 28lh Of March to the present
time our loss in killed, wounded and can
tired viii not probably reach seven thou
sand, of whom from one thousand five
hundred to two thousand were captured,
and many bat slightly wounded.
l shalI continue the pursuit as long as
there appears 10 be any use in it.
(Signcd) U. 5. GRANT,
Lieutenant General.

(From the ST. Thomas Times, April 3d.

A Cycle in American afhirs has been
reached at last. Events that ordinarily
would need half q century for their fulfil
ment have been passed through in the
short space of less than five years. LEE
the indomitabIe, and his invinclble Armies
have been routed, badly routed, thorough
ly routed. The left wing turned, the
right pushed back, and the centre made
to flee. His dead and wounded by the
thousands left on the field for the mud
silis of the North to bury. He fed not
with his army, but with the last frag-
mems of the cradle and the grave. He
would have asked for time, but he knew
that hard hearted GRANT, would not, or
'"could not see into it," remembering no
doubt that the heroes Of Fort Sumpter
did ask for time and were refused. LEE
like a bird has flown, his grand Army
routed, and Richmond captured! Verify
who would have believed it? Yes Rich
mond taken LINCOLN, the reelected Pre-
sident Of the United States for the next
four years and the Constitution "Amend-
ed'' .a%bolishing slavery on American ter
ritory for ever more! Copperheads, in
and out of America, bear these facts in
mind, for the admonilion is strong and
the rebuke effectual. Before the winter
~solstice of 1865 we shall see specie pay
ments resumed in that land whose enc
mics predicted that inevitable bankruptcy
would overtake it. We shall see from
out of all this calamity, a wise, digniGed
and fair Republican Administration come
forth, that will command the respect Of
the world. We shall see that old "ABE"
is no gorilla that SEWARD is no traitor;
that CHASE is no fool that STANTON is
somebody instead Of nobody; and that
GIDEON WELLEs is discovered to be q
man instead Of an old woman; that
GRANT, SHERMAN and SHERIDAN may take
rank with any soldier of the age; that
FARRAGUT, PORTER and DAHLGREN are
genuine old salts. That the United
States will once again be like BARNUM's
happy family, rat and cat living harmoni-
ously together. We have long been
waiting for our turn to laugh and our
turn seemed a long time coming-at
length, however, it has come, but sorrow
for the dead and dying, MANNED and
wounded, forbades our laughing, and we
can only declare in all humility that we
never doubted that when freedom was
pitted against slavery, slavery would be
"turned," "routed" and "crushed," pre-
cisely as the proud Army of Virginia has
been by Northern freemen. On our part
we have borne hooking and sarcastic
reflections, jeers and jibes, but we still
remained firm in our opinion that liberty
would triumph, never wavering in our
conviction that slavery could not with
stand a contest with her more enlighten-
ed antagonist. The slave holders for
the past thirty years have desired this
conflict with the North, and like Semeie
of old they have persisted by the light
ningsthey invoked and longed for. Truly
how those shots on Fort Sumpter have
told! The last that was seen Of JEFF.
DAVIS and his Cabinet, they were sitting
in Council in an amhulance.
