The JOY of our loyal people, says the

news of further victories, and surreade,
Of General Lee and his achoIc army tc

army to that of Johnston in North Caro-
lima. But the vigilance of our glorious
commander in the field never sleeps, and

tened fugitives. Beaten back from their
path, and threatened with fatal danger
on every side, the Rebel leaders at last
threw up the sponge and bowed to the
inexorable decree that has been pronoun-
ced against them by the loyal nation.
From General Grants dispatch we
learn that the surrender was absolute
that the Rebel arms, artillery and pub
lie stores of every kind were given into
our possession. The officers only retained
their swords. The men were paroled and
sent to their homes, from which we may
be certain that they will never be called
again to fight under traitor flag. The
surrender was upon the terms proposed
by Grant himself, which proves the act
to have been one of imperative necessity
on the other side.
We cannot find words that are adequate
to express the outpouring of public feel
ing that is now going on. 1t is some
thing so new in our history that it has
found US unprepared. So much joy has
never been ours before. The knowledge
of our power as people is now brought
home to us and while we reverently and
joyfully thank God for the triumph he
has vouchsafed to the cause of Liberty
and Union, we must guard against an in
toxieation that may plunge US into yet
further calamities.
But for today let us rejoice with free
and gladstone hearts, for the cup of na-
tional bitterness which for four years, has
been pressed to our lips. is now broken
aud forever destroyed.

Internal Revenue Receipts,

A Washington correspondent of the
Commercial Advertiser says:
"The total receipts from July l, 1864
to last Saturday, March 25, 1865, were
Sl56, ,664 ,S16 81. As the increased taxa
tion commences on the 1st of April, and
as the returns of the income tax will
reach here in June, it is safe to estimate
that the receipts of internal revenue, for
the present fiscal year, will exceed $780,
100000. This is somewhat over the sum
total realized in Great Britain in 1864,
from excise duties, stamp taxes, and it
will more than pay the interest on our
public debt which has been estimated at
sl8O,9OO,00O. The other expenses of
the Federal Government for the present
fiscal year, have been estimated at S465,-
100000. In round numbers there will
be S445, 100000 to be provided for by
some other means than home taxation.

Fever and Ague is not the only conse-
quence of the miasmetic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation
in malarious districts, among which are Neu-
ralgla, Rheuma tsm, Gout. Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spine,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Para
lysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all
of which, when originating in this cause put
on the intermittent type, or become periodi-
cal. This 'Cure" expels the poison from
the blood, and thus cures them all alike 1t
is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but
it is the cheapest ard moreover is perfectly
safe. No harm can arise from its use, and
the patient when cured is left as healthy as
if he had never had the disease Can this
be said of any other cure for Chills and Fe-
yer! 1t is true of this, and its Importance
to those afflicted with the complaint cannot
be over estimated. So sure is it 20 cure the
Fever and Ague, that it may be truthfulIy

complains that it is not good medicine to
sell, because one bottle cures a whole neigh
