Our Flag goes Marching On.

Little more than a week ago we received the
glorious intelligence that the Capital Of the rcb
ell Confederacy was in quiet possession of the
Union forces, and that its citizens gladly vel
coined the change which promised relief from
the devastations Of wa watch for more than
three years have daily and hourly TQenaced them.
Now comes the yet more cxultant announcement
that Lee has surrendered with the broken and
demoralzed remnant of his army. Still further
word comes that johnson and the other rebel
Generals are ready TO quit the unequal contest on
the same terms that were conceded 10 the Army
Of Virginia and We have faith that the sun of
rebellion has gone down forever
Had the capture Of Richmond been the only
point gaiEed--lad Lee apd his veteran legions
been able to escape and effect junction with
the forces confronting Sherman, the campaign
might have been contracted. and another great
battle necessary to accomplish the result already
achieved. Richmond was but a spot-the Capt.
tai of the Confedcracy--it is true. but its cap
ture by the National troops would have power
full moral effect upon the already waning fortunes
of treason, and be an important step towards the
attainment of the desired end, but the strength
and hope of the South lay in the armies Of Lee
and Johnston, and until they We're conquered
the dream OF speedy and honorable peace could
plans and indomitable energy of Gen. Grant and
TO the undaunted heroism OF the gallant soldiers
of the Republic, all is achieved that we could
ask-the victory is complete in every degree
The bloody scenes of the past four years will
never be repeated, the people of the South have
no longer the power, even if they possessed the
will to attempt future resistance to the consti-
:uted authorities of the Government.
There is abundant cause for every loyal heart
70 rejoice. Shorn of the strength which alone
has given the Confederacy vitality. all organized
opposition to the National authority must cease
at once. We do not expect that the Southern
States will at once settle into the peaceful ay0-
cations of former years it would be too much
to look for in a country which has been SO long
ravaged by contending armies. and friends dread
ed as much as foes. Nor expect that the
blood stained rufians of Forrest and Chalmers,
and the like, whose hands yet reek with the blood
Of murdered Unionsts, will submit at once to
the laws Of a land they have so long set 1t de-
fance.
With the military power OF the rebellion
crushed, the majority OF the Southern people
willingly accepting peace upon the humane
terms which a magnanimous country like ours
will offer, will soon see such desperadoes eI-
terminated or driven from the land and the
dawn of a bright and happy future breakupon US.

The treason of Arnold in the Revoluti. mary
W produced an excitement throughout the
hnd, mot less universal and intense than have
the developments of any period of the treat
rebellion which has just been subdued. Inc
feeling was general, though it was only by
Providental Intervention that our army and
General Washington Was saved. Whiieevery
heart was made to tremble by the disclosure
Of that astounding treachery,. the patriotism
of the nation was moved with the fervent
gratitude that it was so wonderfully defeated !;
and the Congress Of the United States ap-
pointed the seventh day of December, 1880,
as day of Thanksgiving by the whole people.
John Hancock, the Governor of Massachusetts,
issued his proclamation, setting apart the
same day, for the annual State Thanksgiving,
and calling upon the people to observe 1t,
especially on account Of this remarka able
deliverance.
tits singular coincidence that the present
Chief Magistrate Of the nation, and the Gov
errors of the States, has appointed the same
day, the It'll day of December, as day OF
Thanksgiving for the same cause, the deliver
ance Of the people from q gigantic treason,
having no parallel in history; and | have
thought that the proclamation Of Governor
Hancock might be interesting to many ofyour
readers and possibly suggestive of useful re-
Hection for the ministry on that day, and
therefore add copy oft.
