RBJoICING IN BRANDoN.-The follow
ing communication from Brandon did
not reach us in season for yesterdays
HERALD:
Dear Herald This has been a day of
excitement for Brandon Soon after
noon our people were electrified by
telegram from our Mr.. John Howe, (who
was at Rutland, and who by the way, is
always on hand when anything hap
pens,) saying" Richmond is ours" At
once the glad cry rang through our
streets. Bells were rung, flags unturled,
guns fired, business suspended and the
widest enthusiasm prevailed, in which
old and young men, women and chill
dren heartily joined. A large process
sion was Immediately formed under the
efficient marshalship of Capt. Co6k, and
escorted by a large CavalCade Of men on
horseback, and joined by the students,
girls and boys, from our seminary ard
other schools, marched through our
streets. Congratulatory speeches were
made by Hon. E. N. Briggs and others;
patriotic songs sung; in fine, a general
jubilee was had. This evening our whole
village is illuminated perfect blaze
of light marks many Of the residences,
Capt. Cook is again on hand as mar
shall; large procession escorted by our
fine military company under Capt Gro
nan, with music and banners, is still
marching on. Our citizens are out en-
nasse-joy on every face-guns firing
cheer after cheer at every corner-all
feeling the end of this terrible war is at
hand. Il.

JEFF. DAVIS PROPOSES TO sUBMIT.-The
New York Herald publishes dispatch
from its Washington correspondent to
the effect that JEFF Davis made direct
overtures to President Lincoln, just be-
fore the commencement of the recent
fighting, for the full surrender of the
confederacy and its armies to the Unit
ed States authorities. 1t appears that
the only condition asked by Davis was
that he and his co-workers in the rebel
lion should be restored to citizenship.
President Lincoln rejected the PROPOSE
tlon lor thr 1cason mat the laws of Con-
gress expressly prohibited it. The cor
respondent protested to get his informa-
ton from high official of our govern
ment. The condition stated is, at all
events, an insuperable one. The South
ern people are to be literally dealt with,
but their mis-leaders should leave the
country or hang. National safety in
the future, demands it,

THE "JuBmAuoK, ION Monday evening,
among the other demonstrations which
were made in this village over the glo-
rious news received that day, and which
we have already briefly noted, large
procession headed by band of martial
music was formed opposite the Central
House, and marched through the princi-
pal streets, making calls upon several of
our citizens. The procession first crossed
the street from the Central House aud
called out Coils. Joyce and Veazey, and
then proceeded up town, calling out
Judge Ainsworth and Messrs. Page, Bar
rett, Seaver, Eyerts, Dewey, Grain and
Sheldon. Judge Kellogg was called for
at the Bardwell House, but was not in,
The HERALD office was also called on,
but the editor happening to be just then
at the telegraph Office anxious for fur
ther news, and ignorant of the call,
Capt. Dunton was called out Of the pro-
cession and appropriately responded We
avail ourselves of the opportunity to
express our regret at our accidental alb
sence, but we took care to print our
speech" under the editorial head next
morning The procession found most of
the residences on Main street handsome
ly Illuminated, and several Others were
also Illuminated in other parts Of the
village.
We should be glad to publish reports of
the remarks made by the several speak
ers, but must content ourselves with the
| following from the speech of Rev. Norman
Seaver, relating to the discovery Of the
east ditch, which our reporter gives from
memory. Mr. Seaver remarked that we
had heard a great deal about the " last
ditch, and that we have been trying 10
discover it for the last four years. 1t
had been at one time supposed to be in
| front of Charleston; at another in front
of Savannah, and at another before
Richmond; but he thought it was
among the Copperheads of the north.
1t was in New Jersey along the line OF
the Camden and Amboy Railroad and
in Rutland in front Of the Courier Office,
He said he was going through Mer-
chants Row that day and saw very
deep mud hole in front of the Courier
office, and he thought that might be the
ue1y last ditcb."

The Great and Glorious News.

"THR UNION Forever" ON Monday
the loyal people were electrified by news
which amply and gloriously repays
them-repays them an hundred fold
for all their great and untold sacrifices
and sufferings of four years gigantic
and unparalleled war. Grants grand
combinations, Sherman's triumphant
sweeps through the South up to coop
Grating distance, Thomas humiliation
Of Hoods army, Porter and Terry's clos
ing up of Wilmington, Sheridan's bril-
liant havoo-playing among rebel com
munications, the unsurpassed fghtiug
Of the Potomac army, the irresistible
progress everywhere OF the soldiers of
the Union guided by leadership that
knows no such word as fail, and sup
ported by the staunch and never-yield-
ing patriotism of an intelligent, liberty
and Union loving people, have by the
blessing of God reached their culmina-
ton in the greatest triumph of the age.
Unprovoked Rebellion against liberty,
democratic government and the peoples
rights, is decapitated. Its capital is
fallen, fallen. The glorious army Of the
Potomac, so brave, and in the early part
of the war so unfortunate, has met the
reward OF its never failing heroism, has
reached the goal of its years of tremen-
Sous labors against the whole host Of
treason led by its chosen commander;
lit has entered Richmond.
The day of jubilee has indeed come.
The loyal people have labored for the
preservation of the Union against foes
at home and foes abroad, against open
enemies and secret enemies, in time Of
gloom and encouragement as well as
in time of sunshine and hope, with a
steadfast patience and unfiinchiDg pat
riotism which will surround them with
halo Of glory in the page Of history
as long as history shall endure. Let
them now rejoice Let them give I'M
stinted praise and honor to the glorious
soldiers who have achieved the victory.
The day of national jubilee has come.
What remains Of the rebel army is
fleeing Where it can go and what it
san still do are interesting questions.
But enough, full enough, to know that
the head of foul treason is crushed, that
the monster is in its death agonies.
Harrah again and again for Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Porter,
Terry, and all the brave officers and men
who have worked out the glorious re-
suit. Hurrah FOR the loyal people, Hur-
rah for the glorious American Union
forever.

RESISTANCE TO THE REBEL DRAFT IN
AUGUSTA, GA. - The Savannah Herald
has intelligence from Augusta to the ef-
feet that in that city and vicinity open
and decisive resistance to the conscrip-
ton officers is fearlessly pursued, and,
unless the agents Of the press-gang ser
vice be in overpowering numbers, al
ways with success. In several instances
conscripting officers have been shot
while attempting to carry citizens away
from Augusta and the neighborhood.
The people fully believe the Confederacy
is doomed and are preparing to return
to the arts of peace.

In A STORM.-The Congressional party
which recently returned from visit to
Charleston and Savannah, adopted resO-
lutions OF thanks to Captain WOtton
of the steamship Fulton and his officers
and crew, and appointed Senators Foot
and Wade, and Hon. Simon Cameron a
committee to convey to the captain the
sentiments expressed in the resolutions.
1t will be seen by the concluding portion
of the letter in which the committee dis
charged this duty, that the party had
little rough experience in their voyage.
The letter concludes as follows;
And especially do we cordially and
most gratefully commend the mastery
skill and vigilance on the part of your
self and of your officers and men, which
were evinced in q most marked manner
during the terrific gale of several hours
duration, off Cape Hatteras, which the
vessel encountered on the return trip
a skill and vigilance which inspired the
hopes and strengthened the confidence
of all the company; and which, under
the protecting care and guidance of a
benefcent Providence enabled the good
old ship to Outride the storm and to re-
turn US all in safety to our homes.
