TIE LATE GRAND TEIUxPH.-On the recep-
tion OF an official dispatch, on Monday morning
last, confirming the capture OF Lee and bis
entire army, the patriotic loyal people became
almost wild with excitement over the long
looked for and glorious news. After struggle
OF four long years of war in defense of our old
Union and flag, and when the last death blow
Mas dealt against the strongholds OF the aris-
Itocratic oligarchy, it was too glorious for the
Friends of universal liberty to withhold long
and loud shouts for JOY. The conquering heroes
|of the Union cause were cheered the little
|giant cannon was wheeled TO the high bluff to
announce, in tones louder than usual, the cap
ture OF the rebel chief and his entire forces ;
the bells rang, and people generally crowded
upon the streets. The celebration continued
more or less throughout the day, till evening
bon6res lit up every prominent street corner
A grand display of fireworks appeared from
different portions of the town. The Oroville
Guards, in full uniform, paraded through the
principal streets, and visited and cheered many
citizens at their private residences champagne
bowed freely, and all appeared happy. The
Union stumpers and peacemakers, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, and the old flag, were
|cheered long and loud by the Guards, before
stacking arms
