Ah. Life were but a Tale.

All! life worc but tale. indeed. r.
Of sleepless suffering, guilt and wo,
From which the heart were happy freed,
Did love not come with angel eye,
And healing lip, and voice of balm,
To dry the tear, to hush the sigh,
The grief subdue, the spirit calm.
She crowns our spring with peaceful hours,

When pride would teach us loathe tho flow

She answers with her happiest charms,
Instead of glory, shows him shame,

there, very few having left. Great
numbers Of original secessionists are
ready to take the oath They are all

The attempt to organize and arm the

ridiculous failure Of the war.
The latest news at City Point whom

the report of the capture of Lee. II

THE FALL OF RICHMOND.

After many a rumor, many fast
pointments, and many hard fought
battles, the enemy has at length svac-
uated Richmond, and been driven in
hot haste out of Petersburg Where
they are going or what their designs
are does not yet appear, but the in
dications portend that they are trying
to unite their scattered forces, and TO
peril oil in one more grand Effort
We are not Of those who think the
war is ended, and from tho firmness
now manifest in the New York market
from the steady advance of gold, we
conclude that similar sentiment
exists to considerable extent among
those whose whole business it is to
watch the prospects of tho contest
1t is not probable however that the
Confederacy will last through the
summer campaign. Their soldiers
after suffering defeat at 20 many
points for so long time without
single victory or advantage, will fight
with less ardor, and should they sue
ceed in bringing all their forces into
single fight we do not believe they
can stand against the victorious forces
of Sherman, Sheridan, and Hancock.

EEA very full account of the late
battles has been furnished us by toll

remains to be fought we reserve the
entire details for our next issue.
For many particulars in this line
we are indebted to the Western Union
Telegraph Co. The promptness of
this line is proverbial, and on Monday
last we had a striking example. AT
$40 A. n. General Weitzel entered
Richmond, and the telegraph an
nounced the fact here at $50.

Dispatch I, the Associated Press.
ToRoNTo, April l.
A dispatch from Montreal says the
money voted by Parliament, has been
paid to the st. Adams Bank.
The Leader, of this morning, has
information which is claimed as au-
thentic, that a warrant is to be issued
in ST. GATHERINGS, charging tho st.
Adams raiders with q breach Of tho
neutrality act, when they will be
brought to st. GATHERINGS. This charge
will be then dropped, and the prison.
ers will be brought before the Toronto
judges on a demand for extradition,
in the expectation that they will re-
verse the decision lately given by
Judge Smith, of Montreal.
MONTREAL, April 1.
The Southern refugees and their
sympathizers are having lively tinre
here to-day. Their leading organ has
issued the following extra, and they
are circulating it throughout the city:
"Infamo@ conspiracy Of the Procmc,di
Erecmre for the ertradition Of the SO.
ABans raidas.-By one of those ex-
traordinary intorventions by which
jurors frequently defeat or reveal
great crimes, we have been placed in
possession of incontrovertible evidence
Of the intention Of the Provincial FIX
ecutive to commit an infamy unknown
to modern times, Of the means by
which it is hoped to be accomplished.
Astonishing and almost incredible as
is the statement We are about to make,
we cannot pledge ourselves to it, but
we challenge the executive TO deny il.
1t will be remembered that the charge
against the st. Adams raiders, dis
posed of by Judge Smith, was only
one of several, but the judgment Of
the court declaring the accused to be
lawful bclligerents, engaged in an
act Of war not csgnizable. by. the tri-
bunals of a neutral state. virtually
disposes Of all the charges which
arose out Of the st. Adams raid, and
were incidents Of it. The accused
were remanded until to-day for the
purpose of the prosecution proceeding
with or abandoning the other charges,
amongst which is one Of murder. :
They were also arrested on a warrant
charging them with breach of neu-
trality, and on this they were formally
rernanded for examination until
Wednesday next. The government
are probably aware that there Is little
prospect Of obtaining conviction on
the accusation, for ms Judge Smith
remarked in his jud smcnt, there is no
evidence Of breach Of neutrality
having boon committed. Having
failed to obtain the ex.ralit;on Of the
