REJ0lCINGS OF THE PEOPLE
MONTPELIER


Soon after the news Of the fall Of Rich
mond was announced. the Smith Band from
Sloan Hospital made its appearance and gave
us some lively tunes in front Of the Court
House where crowd soon assembled. Brig.
Gen. Stephen Thomas was introduced to the
assembly by Capt. Drew Of the Veteran Re-
serve Corps. The General made very pat
riotic speech auc was loudly cheered. Some
Of the citizens acting a. "a committee on the
conduct Of the wal " succeeded in bringing
forward General P. T. washburn. The Gen.
spoke in very effective manner and gave due
credit to the Vermont boys in the army.
Rev. Eli Ballou next made his appearance,
and without noticing that by mounting the
steps Of the Court House he was "taking
the stand was rather taken aback on finding
himself introduced as one of the speakers for
the occasion. He said he couldn't make a
speech, but that his heart was full and he re-
joiced in the glorious news Of the fall of Trea-
sons Stronghold.
The Band then played" Well heng JEFF.
Davis on a sour apple tree"
By this time the cannon had been prepared
by detachment Of veterans. One hundred
among the hills as though nature herself
sought to prolong the Jubilee.
A school girl, who could not join the joy
oas crowd yesterday, breaks out in song.
Hail thou second Ethan
Brave hero Of the day
Well may shout and gladly greet
The dawn OF Freedoms day
For this we sigh for this We pant
We sound the fife. we beat the drum,
We raise shout for noble Grant,
The oonqueror OF Richmond.
The bells peal out in ecstaey,
The cAnnous loudly ring,
The Aags float high In majesty
And all rejoicing sing.
The strains Of music hearts inspire
With songs OLD patriots sung
We'll may we shout. aud sing aud Gre,
Since Freedoms prize is won
A Coon TINE ALL ROUND. - The hun
bred guns at Montpelier carried joyful news
for miles around in advance Of the mails. At
Washington, the guns we're distinctly heard,
and the people at once gathered and. by bell
.ingng and all other possible demonstrations,
expressed their joy for some great event, they
knew not what. Said our informant, we
knew there was great news, and we were
bound to thank the Lord for it," Before they
were through, an extra from this Office reach
ed them with the glad tidings Of great joy
One of our citizens heard the guns in Orange,
and in tie evening came into our Office, shout
ing " Hail Columbia what is the news
heard the guns"
The most distant echo to the Montpelier
guns was from Barnard, distant about 80
miles on an airline. On this occasion two of
the new brass twelve Founders, from the
State arsenal, were used by permission of
Adj. Gen. Washburn. The old Burgoyne
pieces would hardly carry from the state
house to its friend Cheney OF Barnard.

To-dly will ever have place in the annals
of our country's history az having witnessed
a sanguinary struggle or rather a series of
struggles, demonstrating the gallant bravery
OF the Union troops and the desperate resis
lance Of the rebels. do no more than give
a general sketch of the engagement derive
from Information brought in from the various
localities.
In previous letters have described the rel
alive positions of the different corps that, like
an anaconda, were coiled around Petersburg,
destroying that important avenue of supply
and escape for the Richmond people. the
Southside Railroad. Early this morning Gen.
Sheridan, who WAS on ike extreme left, start
ed to sweep around on the enemy's left flank,
and aided by the 5lh corps, destroyed and cut
up the enemys cavalry and the rebel st
corps. Large numbers Of prisoners. cannon
and higs we're taken. The losses on our side
were great, but the results repaid them. 1t
Is said that zen. Warren was relieved from
the command Of the 5th corps.
Mkt 10 the 9th corps was the 9th corps,
with a portion Of the 28th corps and the I'd
division (coored) of the 2Sth corps. This
force was opposed to the rebel 4th corps, and
the ground was desperately contested. The
% corps, under command of General Hum.
phrays, attacked the rebel Sd corps over
broken and wooded ground. on which there
were prOtracted struggles and hard fighting.
The rebe Gen. A. p, Hill, who comma nded
the Sd corps, is reported killed.
Inc 9Th corps charged the enemy's works
In several places, meeting with a determined
resistance from the rebel second corps, under
Gen Gordon, which week ago made raid
into Fort Sledman. Everywhere has success
crowned the Union arms. Tomorrow We must
see the rebel army surrender or seek safety in
flight. We have rumors here that there has
been naval engagement on the James river
and that the colored troops under Gen. Welt.

NE" loRk, April 4.
The steamer Delaware f-om Newbern, 29th,
has arrived. Thousands of recruits and con-
vGsescents are passing through New bern to
rejoin Sherman at Goldsboro' The enemy
are quie, and large numbers daily desert his
ranks.
Reports from Wilmington say the people
are suffering for food and clothing and the
suffering has been enhanced by the arrival
there OF 10000 refugees.
Hampton's cavalry threatened formidable
raid on our supplies between Kinsion and
Goldsboro, but ample arrangements have
been made to prevent it. Sherman's army is
strengthened daily.
1t was reported that Sherman took impor-
tant peace propositions from the rebel au-
thorlties, embodying proposition on the part
of the South to unite in foreign war, pro-
vided pardon be granted to all insurgents
and their property be restored to them, they
submitting to the Adjustment Of slavery
Small squads of Sherman's men 20 all round
the enemy, aAd keep up great alarm in their
camps night and day. Cars run through dali
ly to Godsboro'. Our armies are all in good
spirits and very happy.
Senator Sherman said in his speech yester-
day that the army was rapidly reftting for
the next movement.
President Lincoln spent yesterday in Pc
tersburg, returning to City Point at night.
The Commercials special says it is believ-
ed in Washington that the war is over and
that an understanding to that effect exists
The programme of Gen. Grant anticipates all
possible movements of the enemy. He did
not merely provide for the evacuation of Rich
mond and Petersburg. He anticipated this
contingency. and Lee will find his retreat cut
of at all points. Grant, Sheridan, Thomas,
Sherman and Hancock are closing around the
fragments of Lees army. The military or
ganization of the coufederacy will cease to
exist during the present week. Sherman has
yet to be heard from. He is not inactive
during the great operations now pending -
Peace through war is the object of the ad-
ministration, and it seems to be now within
reach. n

OF Saturdays operations the Tribune's cor
respondent says: AT 7 a. m. the 5ih corps
was again in motion, passing to the lett along
White Oak road to join Sheridan, executing
ihe difficult movement Of marching by funk
10 the presence Of the enemy, Withdrawing
he divisions in the rear Of each other and
narching them off excessively from right TO

be same way BY brigades. While this was
aking place the Sd corps moved towards the
White Oak road by more direct route, and
established connection with the right Of the
5ih corps.
In the meantime Sheridan with four diyis-
ms OF cavalry passed around the left Of the
'bole army, went through Dinwiddie Court
louise toward the southsde railroad with
is usual rspidity. The force which drove
