Our ARCTIC WEATHER. Wednesday
morning the mercury in thermometer
sheltered from the wind, fell to within sew
en- degrees of zero, and yesterday morning
to within twelve degrees of the same point.
Had it been exposed to the cold bitter wind
the mercury would probably have fallen on
both mornings several degrees below zero.
The weather for some days past, though
of an Arctic character as to the degree of
cold, has been rendered almost unbearable
out of doors by reason of the keen and
piercing blasts that have blown with
the constancy and steadiness of trade winds.
1t is a remarkable phenomenon that this
intense cold weather should prevail so long
In this latitude with scarcely any abate-
ment. Alternate freezing and thawing, or
cold and warm days, has been the rule in
our winters in this region heretofore; but
this season forms an exception quite un-
known hitherto, and half inclines us to the
belief that we have been, by some odd
freak of nature, transferred from the tenn
perate to the frigid zone.

saying, that people who complain of Others
dirt should sweep, before their own doors.
The Journal complains because citizens did
not clear away the snow on the sidewalks
in front of their dwellings and business
houses, and thus prevent the formation of
ice on the sidewalks, and even blames our
City Fathers because they have not passed
an ordinance making such neglecta penal
offense. Thereis very icy and dangerous

THE GOLD MARKEr.--The official dispatches
announcing the taking of Richmond created the
widest excitement among the spectators in
the gold rooms yesterday, and buyers and sell
ers, bulls and bears were thrown into such
utter confusion that few knew how or were even
disposed to operate. The news was anticipated
in the morning, and the premium at eleven
O'Clock had fallen from forty.nine to forty six,
with nearly the usual amount of business; but
on the final announcement that the rebel CAPT.
tai had been evacuated the speculative demand
almost ceased, and the price ranged in the
afternoon on Che fractions between one hundred
and forty-6ve and one hundred and forty-six-
nearly nine per cert below the closing quota
tons of Saturday.

The Glorious News from virginia
Richmond Ours and Lee In Retreat.
To-day we publish accounts of the grandest
triumph that has crowned human efforts
for centuries. Richmond has fallen, Lee is
in full fight, the mos. wicked of all re-
belIions has absolutely received its death
blow. and is SO positively crushed that no
power on earth can save it. Such are the vital
facts of the news, and they are very grand
ones. That the great attempt to break down
this nation-to defeat this experiment" so
filed with possible benefit for the human race,
to destroy this hope Of 80 many down-trodden
pcoples-that power organized for such pur-
poses has been at length completely over
thrown is, indeed, the most glorious piece of
news for humanity that ever fell to the lot of
any journal to lay before its six hundred
thousand readers.
Lees retreat will probably prove TO be
rout. His army seemed to hold together
feebly before the battles, and the fierce strug-
giles Of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the
inevitable destruction of officers, have so ter
ribly shaken It that it probably will need no
more than such retreat as it is now on to
finally close up its accounts We had taken
twelve thousand prisoners in the three days;
and doubtless there were twelve thousand
more killed and wounded. Only half of Lees
army, therefore, is left with Lee. Such force
cannot stand alone Lee must join Johnston
before he can halt, and such run will cost
him ten thousand more men, especially as he
must make it with the persistent Sheridan at his
heels all the way, and with Grant close behind.
Grant moves towards the Danville Railroad,
and Lee in the same direction, not far ahead.
Lee will endeavor to cross Grants line in
order to join Johnston, who, of course, will re-
treat towards given point on Lees line, to
facilitate the junction. From all appearances
the utter destruction Of the forces under Lee
and Johnston is certain within short time, be-
tween Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, leaving
Thomas out of the question. Ordinarily this
might prove to be question of supplies; but
Sherman's experience seems to prove that the
troops can live on the counry-Lee's troops
husband consequently their movement can
not be so rapid but that ours may subsist in the
same way. But 1t is quite possible that Lee
may be smashed up singly within few days
or hours, before any question of supplies will
occur. He is out of the Notifications now, and
his hsad fighters and fast marchers behind him.

JEFF. JAWS A SUBMIssIoN1sT.-We publish
this morning highly interesting despatch from
Washington announcing, upon what appears
to be reliable authority, that JEFF. Davis made
direct overtures to President Lincoln, just be-
fore the commencement of the recent fighting,
for the full surrender of the confedeyacy and
its armies to the United States authorities. It
appears that the only condition asked by
Davis was that he and his co-workers in the
President Lincoln rejected the proposition for
the reason that the laws of Congress expressly
prohibited II. Terrible fighting soon after COM
menced.
It has been apparent to all who have been
conversant with the facts as they developed
themselves through the peace negotiations Of
Blair and at Hampton Roads, that ever since
the fall of Fort Fisher the rebel leaders have
been holding out and specially maneuvring
to obtain terms that would let them down easy.
But the coils Of our armies have been gradu-
ally tightening around them; Davis becomes
convinced that the only chance left Is to save
his own neck, and Immediately proposes to
settle upon that idea. Failing in securing
from Mr.. Lincoln Q promise of that, he
makes desperate effort to save him
self by fighting. We have the result
before us. Now that Richmond is ours, our
armies occupying the late rebel capital, and
the rebellion to all intents and purposes
crushed, would it not be well for Mr.. Lincoln
to notify the rebels that he will grant them
general amnesty if they will surrender, lay
down their arms and return to their
allegiance.
There lie no doubt but that If he will call
an extra session Of Congress, and appeal to
them to endorse it, that they will repeal the
law now prohibiting it He can safely leave
JEFF Davis and associates to the Southern peo-
pie. The moment that the rebel armies are
disbanded the people will begin to realize who
is responsible for all the evils, suferngs, hard
ships and sacrifices that they have made and
endured for four long years. The ordinations
and recriminatious which will follow will soon
make II too hot for Davis and his associates
and co-workers in getting up and carrying on
the rebellion to long remain in that country.
The people of the South will not let them re.
main there. A revolution will spring up that
will force them to seek an asylum elsewhere.
If Mr. Lincoln desires to get rid Of the leaders
he will find this the most effective way. What
IL better still, he will obtain the credit for bis
administration before the world Of being mag.
unanimous, and thus carry with him the moral
power of every nation on the face Of the globe
Now is Mr. Lincoln's opportunity. Will he
improve itf
