The Eurrender Of Gen. Lee and HIS
Army Of $4,000 HOOPS

re
Army OF $4,000 Troops
One of the most grand spectscles known
to history is undoubtedly the surrender of
that consummate rebel General, Robert E.
Lee, and his grand army of Virginia, to
the great prisoner-taker, Gen. Grant. The
spectacle Is invested with sn importance
only rivslled by the result of the battle of
Waterloo, which brought peace to Eu-
rope after war of a quarter of
century. The surrender closes virtually
the most gigantic rebellion the world ever
saw. With the rebellion sinks that wicked
system Of slavery into the vast depth of
progress never more 10 be brought TO light
again. -..s..,
Our brave boys will soon be stMarcbipe

CONFEDERATE BONDS.


Confederate bonds are abundant in Rich
mond. An immense number, with coupons
al; registered snd signed, were thrown into
the streets during the evacuation, and are
sold by boys at very Insignificant sums.
The gold and silver belonging TO the
Louisiana banks, and recently sppropria-
ted by the Confederate Congress was run
off TO Dsnville on Thursday. So was the
specie of the Richmond banks. Gov. Extra
Billy Smith was at meeting of the Com
mon Council at o'clock on Sunday after
noon, and almost convinced the city au-
thorities that the Confederate arms had
been victorioue at at Petersburg, and that
Richmond was not to be evacuated. He,
however, managed to get better informed
some hours afterwards, and ran of on
horseback sometime during the night. j.
Breckinridge went off on horseback with
the last of the army on Monday morning.
At o'clock on Monday morning COM
mittee of citizens, headed by James A.
Scott, called on Major Miller, at the Adju.

the warehouses, and begged him to desist
Miller would not listen to them, and char
scterized the statement that the burning of

cowardly pretext on the part of the citizens
tumped up to endeavor TO save their
property for the Yankees

FRENCH TOBACCO BURNED.

A few days before the evscuation,a q ware
house opposite the Pemberton Prison was
filed with tobacco belonging to the French
Government, worth two millions of dollars
in golc. but the rebels fred it before they
| fed. Major Stevens, 4th Massachusetts
cavalry, promptly emancipsted over fifty
colored men, women and children, whom
ke found starving in the county isil. One
little girl only eight years old, when asked
what she had been locked up for, said that
she stole some brea to take to her mother,
which was the charge on the Jail records.
Mayor Mayo sentenced these unfortunate
negroes and several of them had been
whipped by his orders.
Mrs. JEFF Davis and her children left for
North Carolina on the last dsy of March.

Mrs. Lincoln, accompanied by Senator
Sumner and few friends, were there this
morning.
Assistant Secretary Dana has been in
Richmond, looking after matters, especiel-
ly the property claimed by foreign sub
jects.
A pontoon bridge has been laid across
the james river, and cars will soon be run

The colored people have had grand re-
lgious jubilee in the African Church, TO
celebrate their emancipation. Rev. Prof

Gently grand. The negroes are enlisting

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, eel

fifth anniversary of his marriage, on Fri
day, at Natick, Mass. Many distinguish
ed persons were in attendance, and silver
plate and other articles, valued at $5, 900.
and also purse Of $4,000, were present
ed.
In 1860 there were tWenty-four slaves
in New Jersey, and there are four in Pat

the provisions Of the law abolishing
slavery in the commonwealth, and, too
old to support themselves, refuse to ac-
ceDt their freedom.

mitted in Hamilton, Ohio, on the 10Th in

hberately murdered Mr. Rogers, his

was broken in, as with hatchet, and two
stabs were inflicted In his breast. O'Con-

Last Friday, October 10th, about IL
o'clock in the forenoon, the New York
and Ohio Mutual Petroleum Company
S. S. Eastwood, Superintendent struck
oil at the depth of 187 feet, with the most
gratifying results. The well is on the
Joseph Davis farm, on Duck Greek. about
three miles above Macksburg, farm now
owned by the New Jersey Oil Company.
It began flowing rapidly, and as there
were no adequate preparations for receiv-
ing. the oil, which appeared in quantities
entirely unexpected, no little ran to
waste. Much of it ran into small pond
from which it was dipped up. On Sun
day morning, when it had been flowing
48 hours, 250 barrels of oil had actually
been saved, some in the tank and some
in barrels, so that amount could be meas
ured. What ran to waste is a matter of
conjecture, as it flowed over the ground,
but it is probable that there were many
barrels. The oil is of splendid quality
for refining purposes, and is of Aide
grees gravity. These statements are made
without 'varnish," and are entirely relia-

To no man-not excepting the lament
ed President Lincoln-is the Republic
more indebted, on the score of unhinch-
ing loyalty, incorruptible integrity, lofty
patriotism, profound sagacity, and mas
terly ability in the discharge of his oner-
Gus duties-then to Mr.. Stanton. In some
respects his responsibilities have been un-
equaled, and sufficient to crush any man,
one would think, however physically pow
erfully strong. It is really marvel
that he has not long since succumbed to
the mighty pressure. Yet, if he had
done so where could his equal have been
found2 Of course, he has his full share
OF abuse, misrepresentation, and dispar-
agement to encounter from lips of rebels
and Copperheads, and even from some
making the loudest professions of loyalty

patience any of his assailants,

DREADFUL sHIPwREeK.

The English papers give the particulars
of the American built ship Eagle, while
on the way with four hundred and nine
ty-seyen coolies from Port Canning to
Demarara. The wreck took place near
Haliday's Island, August %, and the fa-
tai results are thus described:
Three of the Eagle Speeds boats were
launched, manned by the crew. Inclu-
ding the coolies who threw themselves
into the water on hencoops, the boats
saved one hundred and sixty-nine, and
boat made five trips. but the others were
soon smashed; one of them had at half
past twelve brought off the captain, whom
his own crew refused to help.
The steamer Lady Elgin, which was
near, left for Port Canning; no hint was
given to the three hundred miserable
Wretches who were sinking to launch the
ships cutter, which had not been used,
though the one European left and five
negroes did so, and with thirty COLES were
afterwards found by the steamer The
did not sink till seven on Wednesday
morning, iustifying the opinion of Cap
tain H0skins. Considering the rate at
which the ship was sinking, [ was conf
dent that we could have succeeded in get
ting the greater portion of the coolies out.
Two steamers were at once sent round
from Calcutta, and the Lady Elgin re-
turned from Port Canning. They found
three coolie lads on the mast of the wreck,
and saved about sixty more who had hoa-
tad to Haliday's and Butchers Islands,
where the tigers are said to have de-
stroyed some The coolies assert that the
last European attempted to fire the ship.
Of the four hundred and ninety-seven
coolies. two hundred and sixty seem to
have perished on that terrible Wednes-
day morning, or afterward in the Jungle

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1866.

James Johnson, PROVISIONAL Governor,
MGLtidgeUiLle, Georgia:
Your dispatch has been received. The
people of Georgia shenld not hesitate one
single moment in repudiating every sin
gle dollar of debt created TOR the purpose
of aiding the rebellion against the Gov
ernment of the United States. It will
not do to levy and collect taxes from a
State and people that were loyal and in
the Union, to pay debt that was created
to aid In taking them out and subverting
the Constitution of the United States.
do not believe that the great mass of
people of the State of Georgia, when left
uninfuenced, will ever submit to the
payment of debt which was the main
cause of bringing on them the past and
present suffering, the result of the rebell-
ion.
Those who invested their capital in the
creation of this debt, must meet their
fate, and take it as one of the inevitable
results of the rebellion, though it may
seem hard to them. 1t should at once be
made known, at home and abroad, that
no debt contracted for the purpose of a
dissolution of the Union, can, or ever
will be paid, by taxes levied on the people
for special purposes.

MIsFoRTuMEs OF URI0H GENERALS AS COPPER
HEAD CANDIDATES.


The fate of those Generals of the I'm
ion army whose ambition has so far over
leaped itself as to render them capable OF
accepting the standard bearershlp OF the
Copperhead Democracy for positions of
civil office, Is not encouraging TO such as
may be similarly tempted by Satan upon
a high mountain in the future
General Tuttle, In Iowa. two years ago,
was the first instance of General OF the
Union army accepting nomination from
the political enemies Of the Republic and
the Tag for which he and his fellow sold
iers we're fighting He was defeated by
the people at home and the soldiers in
the field by an astounding majority, as, OF
course, he ought to have been.
Gen. Mcclellan was the second instance,
and we know what his fate was, as the
Democratic national standard bearer In
1864. Never was recreancy to, and be-
trayaI of, principle been more pointedly
rebuked than in his case.
At the late State elections, Gen. Thos.
Fl. Benton, Jr., In Iowa, and General
Morgan, in Ohio, who so eagerly accepted
the proffered but empty honors of the
copperhead candidacy for the Governor
ship, have been so completely OverWhel-
med in defeat that they will never reeov-
