So long as Jeff. Davis and bis Cabinet and Congress could se curely reside in Richmond, the rebel Gov ernment had a L>cal habitation and a name, notwithstanding the capture of other places of importance, and the conquest by our forces of the principal portion of the territory claim ed by the Confederacy ; and so long as Lee held that city and could protect his com munications, his army was a formidable and an unconquered host. The expulsion oi Davis and his army from Richmond was regarded as ‘.lie substantial overthrow of the “Confederacy.’ Yet there was still a feeling of disappoint ment, mingled with the rejoicing over even this the greatest triumph the National arras, ht the escape of Lee's army. The re bels professed to regard the mere retirement from Richmond a matter of trifling moment. The vitality, the strength, the very existence of the Confederacy as a “belligerent” power, was said to reside with the army, and those who still clung to the infatuation of Southern independence maintained that while Lee’s army was in the field, there was no oc- casion for despair, that it mattered not whether this was at Richmond or in Alabama or in the mountains of Tennessee ; the Con federacy would still have an incarnate exis tence, a heart and soul and a strong arm. But the suirender of Lee, and the placing hors du combat bis great army, has given the rebellion its final death-blow', and the South ern Confederacy will speedily be but a dark shadow of the past. The great rebellion, which has so heavily taxed the resources of the American people, will now dwindle to the insignificant proportions of a mere insur rection. The Consederacy is no longer a “belli gerent” power. Its adherents may pursue a course of brigandage in unproteetd parts of the country; considerable bodies of men may retreat to the fastnesses of the Allegha nies, and, by carrying on a guerrilla warfare, derive a precarious subsistence from the re sources of the neighboring country; hut all great military operations have ceased. A large standing army may for some time be required to preserve the peace; a well regu lated and increased police force will he need ed in large cities; but the integrity of the Union is now an assured fact. One govern ment, and one only, will control all the terri tory within the temperate zone which is con fined between the Atlantic a#d Pacific oceans. Democracy is vindicated. The power and capacity of a free people, not only to develop the resources of a continent, but to protect aud defend their nationality, has been indisputably demonstrated, not only at the peaceful contest of the ballot-box, but on the bloodiest and best fought fields of battle •ver known in tho history of the world. \\ e may not yet, with propriety, discus the questions that will necessarily arise in re gard to the position which shall be awarded to the deluded and infatuated men who have so persistently fought against the Constitu tion and the Union. The humanity and the good sense of th§ people, -which will be truthfully interpreted by their leaders,both in the Executive andCongressionalDopartmcnts will decide all matters of this sort. In our humble opinion, the result of the great con- test will be to inculcate upon each side a greater respect for the other. Many hard -1 ought battles, many brilliant raids and skirmishes, and many hand-to-hand fights have taught all of us that the military genius and the valor of the American people was confined neither to the North nor to the South, but belonged to the whole people. More than this, it has been demonstrated that the real power of a genuine democracy lies in free speech, a free press, and the edu cation of the masses. Had the South enjoy ed these privileges, slaveiy could mjver have endured after the preliminary movement in its favor made by its advocates in 1832. In such a crisis as this we rise above the prejudices and passions of the hour. We cannot forget that the foundation of the re bellion was laid long ago by certain political leaders who had their own purposes to sub serve, and paid no regard to the rights or the opinions of the people, but had in view only the establishment of an aiistocracy entirely antagonistic to the fundamental principles of a free government. The great contest is over. The military power of the Confederacy is broken The government of the United States is fully es tablished. This result will redound to the benefit of no section, but of the whole coun try. Let us not indulge in vituperation, pas sion or revenge, but thank God that He has safely led us through this terrible ordeal. Wb Understand that a mass-meeting is to be held on some day this week, when the citizens of Savannah will be addressed by several prominent gentlemen. t T^ n .®, e P' " to °k possession of •Jett.

THE EVACUATION OK RICHMOND. full and intf.rresting details. (From the ßl> hmoud Whig, April 6 j Though we have twice before dwelt upon the subject of the evacuation of Richmond and the subsequent dreadful conflagration, it is an exhaustless theme, and so long as we can furnish new facts in connection with it wc do not fear wearying our readers. For a mouth past the Confederates have been evacuating tbe cily with all the speed and menus they could command, but some how the people refused to believe that the re moval meant evacuation, and all declared that the measures were only precautionary. Matters went on in this manner .until last Sunday, tho Confederates hurryiug away every species oi property,dhe people blindly refusing to believe that tho city was to be given up, and clinging to their Confederate shinplasters as if they were things of worth Sunday morning Gen. Lee telegraphed to Davis, giving an account of the general at tack upon his lines, stating that the lines had been pierced in many places, and that unless he could re-establish them Richmond must be given up that night. His tone was, for the first time since the war, despondent. He said his men’were not coming up to their work. At eleven o’clock that morning he tee graphed that all efforts to establish his lints had been utterly unsuccessful. Immediate ly began among the officials in Richmond a j scurry and panic. Still the majority of the people w r ere in the dark, and, refusing to be lieve their eyes, so remained, many of them, till night. The gold and silver coin belong ing to the Louisiana bauks, and recently ap propriated by the Confederate Congress, was run down to the Danviile train- in hot haste. So also was the specie of the Richmond banks. Then Ihe programme for the depar ture of the officials w*as arranged. A num ber of trains were to leave during the even ing ; still there was not room for all who thought it desirable to get away. Davis was to depart at seven o’clock in the evening Breckinridge elected to go off on horseback, with the last of the army, on Monday morn ing. At the request of the Mayor, a meeting of the Council was held on Sunday evening, at four o’clock, to consult as to what was best to be done under the circumstances. Gov ernor Smith, being invited to attend this meeting, almost convinced the Council that the Confederate army had been victorious at Petersburg, and that Richmond was not to be evacuated. He, however, managed to become better informed some hours after wards, and ran off on horseback some time during tbe night. The Council, after much discussion, passed a resolution appointing committees for each of the three wards, who should, when the fact that the city was about to be abandoned be ascertained, prove and to destroy all the alcoholic liquors in their respective wards giving the Council’s receipt for the same, to be paid for hereafter. The object of this step is obvious—to prevent disorder result ing from the intoxication of the troops of either army and of thtf evil-disposed amon°* the citizens. The ordef of the Council was only partially executed; but there is no doubt that much evil was arrested. After dark the Council held another con ference, and this time being assured by the Secretary of War that the Confederate pick ets would be withdrawn from the Richmond front at three o’clock Monday morning, and that it was calculated that the city would be evacuated about night, it was determined that a committee of prominent citizens should attend the Mayor with a flag of truce to the intermediate line of fortifications, aud that there he might hand over the city to the General commanding the Army of the James. Judge Lyons, Judge Meredith, and several members of the Council attended the Mayor. TERRIBLE SCENES IN TUE CITY DURING MONDAY NIGHT. In the meantime a saturnalia had begun in the city. About dusk tbe government commissaries began the destruction of an im mense quantity ot whiskev and brandy stor ed m the large builßiug formerly Wallace’s wholesale groceiy store, northwest corner of Pearl and Cary streets. Several hundred soldiers and citizens gathered in front of the building, and contrived to save much of the liquor in pitchers, bottles and basins. This liquor was not slow in manifesting itself. The crowd became a mob, and began to howl.— Soon other crowds had collected in front of other government warehouses. Some at tempts were made to distribute supplies, but so irenzied bad tbe mob become that the officers in charge, in many cases, had to flee tor their lives. All through the night, crowds of men, women and children, traversed the streets, rushing from one store to another, loading themselves with all kinds of supplies, to be thrown away immediately on something more tempting offering Itself. Men could be met lolling hogsheads of bacon, molasses, sugar barrels of liquor, bushels of tea and caJue • otners had wheelbarrows loaded manner of goods, while others again had gone into the plundering business in a large way, and were operating with bags, furni ture wagons and drays. This work went on last and furious until after midnight, about which time large numbers of ‘ straggling Confederate soldiers made their appearance on the streets, and immediately set about robbing the principal stores on Main street. Ihe scenes that then followed have already been described. There was a regular sack. THE ORDER TO FIRE THE CITY. About one o’clock Monday morning the Mayor received positive information that an older had been issued from Ewell’s head quarters to fire the four principal tobacco warehouses ot the city. Knowing that the burning of these immense buildings, .situated as they were, involved the destruction of at least the business portion of the city, the Mayor forthwith despatched a committee of gentlemen to remonstrate with the Confed erate authorities against the execution of such wanton vandalism. The committee, consisting of Mr. James A. Scott and others, were referred to Major Melton, one of a large number of Adjutant and Inspector Generals who hujp; around the War Department, to whom, it appeared, had been entrusted the work of the incendiary. Melton would hear nothing on the subject, and characterized the statement that burning the warehouses would destroy the city as “a cowardly pretext on the part of the citizens, trumped up to en deavor to save their property for the Yan noShin? left for the citi j? to submit. Resistance was thought • . the Confederate authorities guarded against such an event by holding in the city &t e tE?n?£ r barbaroas work, two large s?wi a Southern troops, every man of in hated Virginia and Virginians, and I longed for nothing more than to see the last house in the city a ruin. FLIGHT OF THE CONFEDERATES. Two divisions—Kershaw's and Curtis Lee’s with several lighi batterioi were holding tbe lipes below the city r Gradually, during tbe night, these troops were withdrawn by brigades. The first movements were order ly enough, but towards morning the retreat became a wild flight. It was one of the ghastliest sights of this awful flight to see long lines of men, flittering like unholy shades through the crowded streets, their forms made hideous by the glare of the in cendiary tires that already began to glow. This train of fugitives poured on unbroken up Main stieet, downFourt e th street, until broad daylight broke upon tue scene. Betore the last passed over the bridge, it had already been in flames more than an hour.. Gary’s cavalry. - It was part of the programme that Gary’s cavalry should be the last Confederate troops to leave the lines below Richmond. Thev were to come stealthily on the city about daylight and catch up all stragglers and citi zens that they could lay hold of and hurry them off with the army. This part of the plan was frustrated by the rapid advance of tbe Union forces. Gary passed up Main street uot five minutes ahead of the Union, column, and so far from dragging off others, he bareiy saved himself. . THE JiAYOR SURRENDERS THE CITY. The flag of truce party attending the Mayor met the Union military authorities at the line of fortifications just beyond Tree Hill, near the junction of the Osborne turn pike and Newmarket road. The surrender was formally made, and steps were imme diately taken to preserve order in the city, and it would have been done effectually but for the progress of the great fire then raging, which prevented anything being done until it could be gotten under. The populace, white and black, wild with excitement, were sacking everywhere on Main street. The United States troops set about staying the ravages of tbe flames, and threw out parties to put a stop to the pillaging. By three o’clock p. m., * the fire was conquered, though not extinguished, and order was restored. THE EFFECT. Truly, the ways of Providence are inscru table. This burning of our goodly city would Beem at first glance an unmitigated evil. But there is another view to be taken of it. It has bad one certain good effect. If there lingered in the hearts of our people one spark of affection for the Davis dynasty, this rutldess, useless, wanton handing over to tbe flames their fair city, their homes and altars, has extinguished it forever. The Situation in Virginia—Lee’s Pres ent Orject.— Our news of the operations in Virginia is somewhat meagre; but it gives us the one important fact, on the authority of General Grant, that Lee has been “pushed from the road toward Danville.” This is im portant id vietv of the possible present posi tion of General Johnston. Five days ago Johnston’s army was at Raleigh, about oue hundred aud twenty miles from Lee’s pres ent position; and he was at that time,doubt less, informed of Lee’s defeat, and may even bave put his army m motion tp join Lee. If it were agreed—as it in all likelihood it was —that Lee and Johnston should meet at some point oh the Danville road south of Burkes ville Junction, Johnston, so far as time and distance go, could have reached that point by this time. It is, therefore, very satisfac tory to know that Lee has been pushed aside from the possibility of such a junction, and compelled to run another way. Lee had two objects in view when he be gan his retreat. His first was to unite with General Johnston. Johnston has forty thou sand men, and Lee, at that time, bad forty thousand more; and with an army of eighty thousand men Lre might very reasonably try one m»e great battle, and he would be an adversary that no one could afford to despise. But his part of the eighty thousand has almost melted away, and he can never join Johnston. His second object, now, therefore, becomes the main and only one. This was to effect the nego tiations or peace upon the evacuation of Richmond. Judge and, it is said, Mr. Hunter also, remained in that, city—and doubtless did so by arrangement with Davis and Lee—to reopen negotiations with our government. Such negotiations have been opened, and are in progress now ; and it is to affeefcthem favorably for the rebel, cause and rebel leaders that Lee fights on so te naciously with his fragmentary force. So far as his fighting can affect the fortunes of the Confederacy, he knows that he might as well give up at once ; but effecting terms may be another matter. If he should sur render, the rebel leaders wonld have no claim and could propose no peace, for there would then be no war ; but so long as he fights, they have “arms’’ they can promise to °* ‘lay down” on certain conditions ; and this fact will keep Lee up until suraender is abso lutely and physically inevitable.— N. Y. Herald, 9th. A Mathematical Puzzle.— The following is decidedly the neatest little mathematical puzzle that has come to our notice: A man lias 60 apples; he sells 30 for 15 cents, which is a half cent apiece, or 2 appies for 1 cent; he sells the remaining 30 for 10 cents, which is a third of a cent apiece, or 3 apples for 1 cent. Thus we see that for 6 apples he gets 2 cents; now how many cents docs he get for 60 apples? The problem sems plain enough, and the rule of three gives tttfc immedtate answer of 24. B» t, on the other hand, if he gets 15 cents for 30 of his apples, and 10 cents for the remaining 30, it seems pretty evident that he gets 25 cents for the 60. It is said to be a poor rule that won’t work both way 9, but this seems utterly to refuse to. Nevertheless, the solution of the prob lem is easy; who will reconcile both its seemingly conflicting ends? Mr. Wm. Battbrsby. — The numerous friends of this gentleman will no doubt be pleased to learn that the injuries he received in being thrown from his buggy on Friday evening last were of a most slight nature, no bones being broken. * I want you to prescribe for me.” The Doctor feels her pulse. “There is noth tbe patter, madam ; you only need rest. Now, doctor, just look at my tongue ! just look at it; look fit it 1 now say wbat does that need ?” “I think that needs rest, too.” Exit madam in a stafe of great excitement. AJUSE.ME.Vm. Savannah Theatre.— The engagement of Mr. Thomas Weir closed last evening with a line representation of “The Drunkard.”— Mr. W eir on thte occasion sustained the high reputation which his performances through out his brief engagement have won for him. The closing farce, “A Trip to Richmond,” was admirably done, and dismissed tbe au dfence in the best of hmnor. A full house was again present last evening, a gratifying sign of improving business at tbe Theatre. On Monday evening will be produced tbe long-promised “Ticket-of-Leave Man.” Sweatnam’s Varities. —The performances at this house last evening were somewhat impaired in excellence, by the absence of Miss Lotty Howland, who was too ill to ap pear. As she was announced to play a con spicuous part in the afterpiece, her loss for the time was very noticeable. Tbe rest of tbe company, however, seemed to exert themselves all the more, and the piece pass ed off as w r ell as could have been expected under the circumstances. Our Hilton Heap Friends. —Our special correspondent at Hilton Head desires to ex press his thanks to his friends and our friends, Capt. Kelly, and Mr. Sears, who furnished him with the New York journals from which was selected our despatches, descmi ing the surrender gs Lee, and for their kind assistance in copying it, and thereby se curing to the readers of the Herald the ear liest intelligence of the glorious event which has nearly set the whole country crazy with joy. The Flood at Rochester.— We have the Democrat of Monday, printed on a half sheet. The paper was drowned out early Saturday morning, the water being twelve feet deep in the press room. The scene on Saturday noon is thus described : At this hour the great flood seems to be at its height. The Gennessee river is no lon ger confined to its channel anywhere and its turbulent waters rush through the city in every direction. Three-fourths of the city, (at least two squares,) on the west side of the river, is submerged. The waters rush over Main street bridge, completely hiding it from view, and plunge* furiously down Front street. Tbe water is three feet to six feet high in Main street, from Water to State; in Buffalo street lrom State to Sophia; in State from Main to the Central depot, and in all tbe streets and alleys adjacent. The flood from Child’s basin rushes down Exchange place like a mill race. Water is two or three feet high in the Arcade, in spite of the obstructions which have been placed to keep it out. Boats that have quitted Front, Main, and even State street, deem it no longer safe to venture there. Thousands of excited spectators throng all the high ground on the East side of the river, and a few adventurers have gained a look out on the Court house. Andrew street bridge is partially carried away, and a jostling crowd on the east side is watching its struggle with the surging wa ters that shake it and threaten to tear it from its moorings. A great crowd is also gathered at the Fails, where the mad river leaps through the gorge where the Central Railroad bridge tors, at one side of which still stands the sign—a mockery now—“ this bridge is tbe exclusive property of the Cen tral Railroad Company.” And over the abyss below, a beautiful sun-bow rises from the dirty water—to signify, let ns hope, that such a deluge will never visit Rochester again. Few churches were open on Sunday. The gas mains were washed out of the streets, and the city was in darkness at night. The Arcade, where the Post Office is, is the centre of the city. Those familiar with the locality will appreciate the following: The _ condition of things during Friday night in the Arcade, is represented as ludi crously uncomfortable. Some men remained in the lower part of the building all night taking care of their offices, stores, &c., and keeping their property above water. Early in the even rig they built a dam at the south door, of matched boards and sand, which served as something of a bar against the flood from Main street that sought to make the Arcade its principal channel. About 4 o’clock in the moruing they had secured their property as far as possible, and, on looking out, found themselves completely isolated cut off from shore in all directions. They accordingly assembled on the stairs and held a “council of war”—some thirty of them; in fact, to be explicit, exactly thirty-one. They sent a party out to forage, within tlieir own lines, which returned with un cooked sausages from the Arcade House. They conveyed the plunder to the upper built fires in empty fire-places, cookß the sausages on sharp sticks, and ate them like savages, in genuine pioneer style. The party were rescued on Saturday noon, by a venturesome boat, from a second-story window, and returned rejoicing to the bosoms of their respective families. humanity illustrated. “Ye see, me lad, it isn’t yersilf at all, but the spuds ye have in yer pocket-book, and the spic new garmints ye’re wearin’, that the blood suckers (bad cess till them all!) are pretindin’ til be yer frinds for.” That was the declaration of Captain Ned Burk, for years the veteran commander of the staunch old two-topsail schooner “Uni ted States,” out of Buffalo. “Ye onderstand, honey, whin I lay up the ould ‘States’ fur the winter, an’ go up til the Mansion House till boord, wud the new clothes upon me, en’ me poiket-blook full av double X s an’ fitties, the ladies an’ gintle men are all afther runnin‘ ocrass the street til shake ban’s, an’ bowin’ and schrapin, and °T l «r’„ How . do yez ando > Captain Burk ?’ Well, raa bouchal, by an’ by it’s gittin’ low-water in me pocket-book, as’ I’m |row m shabby lookin’; an’ thin my old friends whin they ve happenin’til meet me on the S1 ‘ur aV 1 v 3 sthreet > sa y civiljp’ could ando ’ Misther Biffik? 1 an’ flathei xn ind as if they was ashamed to be seen sphakin’ till me, ;m3 lh m ei ' a Vi h l! e lon S er - rae pocket-book is impty, me ould hat crushed intil acrow’s mst, me elbows sthickin’ out avthe schleeves an the knees av me out av the ragged ould trouses, wud me boots full av holes, an’ the soles av ini gone eutirely ; an’ me illigant trinds, whim they 3ee me goin’ along the sthreet, smg out, ‘There goes Old Ned.’ ‘That’s the way av the wurruld, me lad : so look out fur it; fur, be jabers, it’ll niver lookout fur yez!” Jackson Haines, the American skater at last accoiihts at St. Petersburg, where h? had given skating exhibitions before the Fm peror and his family, aud also gave exhibitions on the Neva, near the sinte?

Here he was presented with a gold medal set in dia monds At Moscow, an arena, big enough to seat five thousand people, had been bnilr expressly for his exhibitions. At St Peters burg, on the 22d of February, he gave exhibition, and by special permission of the Emperor, he had the American flag floating over the little house on the ice which hf used as a dressing room. His picture ha* appeared in the illustrated papers, along wi*h the prominent opera singers and other nota bill ties of tbe day. The Prince Imperial of France gives al ready promise that he will “understand his epoch.” After the imperial speech at the opening of the Chambers, he advanced to wards bis mother, and offered her bis hand to escort her from the Salle des Etats. “No no,” retorted the Empress— vous etes encore trop petit." Whereupon this precocious young gentleman went up to his papa and shook hands with him, saying, u Ma/oi, Sirr vons avez fait la nn beau discours ” a compli ment at which the Emperor was rather taken aback. It is said the Prince is coming to the United States. Bishop Horne st#es that in Berne divorces are granted freely, but the applicants are first submitted to a curious test. Tbe hus band and wife are shut up in a small room to remain together, six weeks, unless thev become reconciled. There is in the room only one narrow sofa, just wide enough for two to sit upon, one plate and spoon, one narrow bed—in short a unity of all the re quisites. Generally, the parties “kiss and and make up” before many days. We fear if this plan were adopted here, in many cases, there would be necessity for a funeral before a quarter of the time expires. F.
