War News OF the Week.

We have elsewhere dcv ted Considerabie
space to the great and crowning event OF this
war, thus far-the capture OF Richmond. ! ne
situation in which both Richmond and Peters
burg were found by Our troops SHOWS il,at Lee
had commenced the work of evacuation for
perhaps week before Grant made tie assault
on Saturday night. Grant had probably
got Information of this, and thus made the
assault with boldness and confidence. From
the fact that scarcely any guns were taken
with the capture Of Petersburg. it Is evident
that the guns had been removed beforehand,
fo- our troops were rePuised IN few OF the
assaults thew made on the enemy's works, vet
they took no guns. Ii is evident, the heaviest
part of their defensive means had been with
drawen. and that but a thin lire Of infantry
remained to oppose orr forces. Had Grant
DELAYED a day or two longer. he would have
found the Richmond and Petersburg de.ences
empty.
The interest Is now ceEterd on the pur-
suit Of Lees retrcating army aud which ap-
pears to be moving towards Danville. The
pursuit has been placed in charge Of General
Sheridan, who is accompanied by the 2 corps
of infantry under General Meade. We
give above despatch received last even NJ,
showing that the pursuit promises to end in
the capture of Lees entire army, ii 1t has

Hig features were Handsome, his man-
ner modest, and be had an intelheens
and an appealing look. he was ia.
formed that his request could not be

the oath in person. The little fellow
turned towards the door and burst into
