How People Acted In Chicago Last
Monday

The following from the Chicago Trib-
une pictures the jubilant feelings of the
Chicagoites last Monday: -.
"The .pontaneousness of the enthu-
siasm distinguished it even more than
it's magnitude. Time would fail us to
write all the incidents which transpired
telling how the hearts of the people
ovcrfiowed with sudden joy. Grave
men OF business paraded the streets
blowing tin horns. The Board of Trade
sang Old Hundred in mighty chorus,
and followed 1T with John Brown and
ali the doNologies in the hymn book
Light men carried heavy men on their
shoulders. Bulls embraced Bears, and
Bears felicitated Bulls in the most alb
surd fashions. The great procession
came togetAer as by magic. From all
parts of the city they came, on foot, on
horseback, and almost on their heads,
with single carriages, double teams,
tour-horse teams, and six-horsc teams.

body had free ride. Pedestrians clam
bered into othor. peoples Wagons and
were joyful!y welcomed, andsa ali went
forward shouting, to swell the length
ed throng. Alright the city was illu-
minated by miles OF bontiTes. From
the Court House Square to the city linn
its in every diree61on the blazing piles
lighted up the crowds which thrciloed
the sidewalks, while fireworks flew aiort
from hundret!s OF house tops and street
corners, and thousands of windows

The t;,orious News.

As was said before meeting in this
place last Monday, the glorious news of
the surrender of Lees army creates
feelings of JOY. altogether too deep for
the tongue to express--fselings to be act
ed out, not told i'm words. We saw hun
dreds Of men, wSmen and children do
ing their best to act out; but we have
10 faith that one Of the number succeed
ed satisfactorily. 1t was, surely, "a
Joy unspeakable and full Of glory!'
Therefore let patriots all, who would
know what we have to say of this great
event, pause right here and read in that
secret language the sentiments and emo
tions of their hearts. &c.. ...... ,.....

little sympathy for the stricken ones

the havoc of the shet and the shell, and

The End Of the War.

"a
The end of the Great Rebellion is at
hand! Everybody feels that the sur
render of Lee with the army, which has
70 long and so obstinately defended
Richmond, was a virtual ending of the
eontiict--a death-blow to the last lin
,,ering hopes % the Southern Conteder-
acy. e.-.
Events follow each other in such rap
til succession,towar ard the great consum-
nation, that il Is unsafe to speak at
length of the present signs of the times,
for any moment our criticisms may be
rendered stale by new revelations. We
c.,a only speak in general terms. - 81
at this writing there are rumors of
the surrender of Johnson, of the sur
render of the Mississippi rebels,
and of the surrender of Mobile. Wheth-
or these rumors be true, in Whole or in
part, it is fixed fact that the Confeder-
ncy is bound to speedily and entirely
collapse, and necessarily, therefore, the
transporting of these events will be in
cludcd ,-.....
We do not consider it worth the while
of anybody to be bothered about the
tied guerrilla warfare. The heart
for any kind of warfare is about entire
~ taken out of the rebels; unless, in
deed, we except a class Of men who are
naturally robbers and murderers.
Neither do we consider it worth the
while OF press and people to be bother
Cd Just now about reconstruction and
the difficult questions which will arise
after declaration of peace. Events
which may transpire any day may
greatly simplify the issues, and render
much anxiety worse than useless.
Let the old ship be kept square before
the wind, trusting to the noble and gal
liant helmsmen to put her safely into
the harbor of Peace. The danger is
past the fierce waves are subsiding,
land is in view, and the people have as
much as they can attend to in picking
mp their buds preparatory to going
ashore. What time they have to spare
may as well be put in at shouting glo-
~, hallelujah! as in borrowing trouble
about the future. .. s.s....

Of April, 1865, Richmond was captured,
and on the 9Th Gen. Lee and his army
surrendered. Thus before the four
years of failure" were. fully up, the
heart of the nation beat its wild JOY in
view of triumphant end, wherein
arose the vision Of a saved and Iegcner-
Gted Country. H
