I Pram Richmond ,
( From the Richmond Whig we gather the annex-
l ed news about events which have transpired in
! that city: .
i The lire which destio* ed a large portion of the
; city was caused by the liring of tobacco warehous
es by the Uonfedeiate Government- It burned
j furiouslyall the morning of the evacuation, and
by noon the flames had transformed into a desert
| waste that portion of the city bottuded between
j Seventh and Fifteenth streets, from Main Street
K the river. About six or eight huudred houses
i were burneef. Among the buildings burned were
■ the Bank of Richmond. Traders’ Bank, Bstik ot
j Common wealth, Bank ot Vitgini**., Fanners’ Bank,
j ail the banking houses, the American Hotel, the
Columbian Hotel, the Enquirer b’li.uiitg on T'weliib
street, the Dispatch Office and job rooms, corner
j of Thirteenth and Main street: all that block of
; buildings known as Devliu’s Block, the Examiner
. Office, engine aud machinery rooms; tiie Confed-
, crate PostnUFce Department buildings ; the Stale
: House: a fine old building situated on Capitol
: Square, at itsFraklin street entrance; the Mechan-
I ic s Institute, vacated by the Confederate States
War Department, and ail the buildings ou that
square up to Eight street and back to Man street;
the Confederate street arsenal and laboratory, Sev-
j ent.h stieet.
■ Next to the river, the destruction of property 1ms
been fearfully complete. The Danville and Peters
burg Railroad Depots, and the building aud shed
ding attached thereto, lor the distance of half a
mile from the north side of Main .strefc-^ tri tire river,
and between Eighth mid Fifteenth streets, rmbrac-
• ing upwaiJs of twenty blocks, presents otic waste
ot smoking ruins, blackened walls ami smoking
cbimnies.
After riie Federal* took possession of the city,
tuey done all in their'power (o arrest the flames.
The loss is estimated at uiihons of dollars in specie.
The blowing tip of the powder magazine iu the
suburbs on Monday, killed and wounded about for
tv people who resided in the neighborhood, besides
’ doing great damage to Louses throughout the city.
The city council as soon as they heard the city
was tobe evacuated, commenced destroj ing all the
liquor they could find. Some of onr retreating
soldiery, however, ob aitted enough to get excited
upon, and then Scenes of pillage and violence were
• he order ol the day. <
The Confederate States Navy was blown up oo
Monday morning. Several vessels wore burned
I *t the wharves. Mayo’s bridge and the Danville
, railroad bridge caught fire from the ships.
The publication of the Whig Las been resumed
with the consent of the military authorities. The
ediior. and ail who heretofore controlled its col
umiiK, have taken their departure. The proprietor
and one attache of t he recent editorial corps remain.
The .former has had a conference v»ith-Gen Shep-
. ley, the Military Governor, who assented to tiie
publication of the paper ou conditions.
Gov. Smith of Va, iett on horseback during Sun
day night.
! Sunday morning, Aprils, broke upon Richmond
1 canily and pleasantly, and without anything por
tentous in events immediately transpiring. There
weie rumors of evacuation, but very tew supposed
that the event was’ upon us aiul at hand. The
church bells rang as usual, wstit nothing oi alarm
in their tone, ana worshippers weie us jnompt and
devout as was tfieir wont. But by tiie honi^of
uoon nervous people began to snuff dagger to riie
air, and one’. - * ears were tilled with the most ii-rri-
i b!e tumors. Then there came an unusual increase
! in the number of wagous on.the street*; boxes and
j trunks were being iiastily laden at the depart
ments and driven'to lire Danville Depot l’hose
1 who had determined t* evacuate vxith t.he fugiti'e
Government looked on with amazement; Govern
ment’s example. Vehicles with twi horses, one
horse, or even no fcoiBe at all, suddenly rose to a
premium that was astounding, and ten, fifteen and
even a hundred dollars in gold or federal currency,
was.offered for a conveyance.
Sifdden'y.as if by magic, the street became fill
ed with men walking as though lor a wagi r, and
behind them excited negrdcs, toting tiUuks, bun
dles and luggage of every description. All over
the city i&.was the uauio Wagons, trunks, band
boxes, "and their owners—a mass of hurrying fu-
i gitives, filling the streets. The banks were all
; open, and depositors were as busy as bees remo-
! ving ibeir specie deposits; and tho directors were
j equally active in getting at their bullion. Hun-
! dreds of thousands of dollars cl’ paper money
; was destroyed, both Stale and Confederate. Night
i came on, and with it came confusion worse con-
; founded. There was no sleep for human e.xeoin
in Richmond Sunday night The rapid tramp of
j men upon the streets, the rattle and roar of wag-
! ons, the shouts ol soldiers retreatiug through the
‘ city to the South side, went on the whole long,
long weary night.
At daybreak Monday, morning the scene at tho
Commissary depot, at the head of the dock, bog
gard description. Hundredsof Government wag
ons were loaded wUi bacon, flour and whiskey and
j driven off in hot haste to join the retreatiug army.
! Negroes with their peculiar "heave. 1 ” sweated aud
i wotked like beavers: but the immense piles, ot
stores did not seetn to diuiiuish in the least.
Thronged about the depot were hundreds of men,
women and children, black and white, provided
with capacious bags, baskets, tubs, buckets, tin
I pans and spoons, cursing, pushing and crowding,
j awaiting the.throwing open of the doors, and the
j order for each to help themselves When tbeGov-
i eminent wagons bad gotten off ail the stores pos-
! sible it was found that i-everal hundred bands t f
| whiskey remained in the upper story.
One after another, in hasty procession, the bar*
I rela were rolled to the hatchway, the liesds knock-
' ed out, and a miniature v.hmky Niagara poured
■continuously into the dock in a current almost
strong enough to have swept a lr.nn otf his foot,
j Between two and three hundred harfels were thus
. poured out—a big drink to tiie finny inhabitants
of the river.
> Abont sunrise the doors were opened to the pop
ulace. nod a rush that almost seemed to carry ilia
building off’its foundation waB made, and hun
dreds of thousands of pounds of .■'pUnuid liacon
1 flour, N’C., went into tiie capacious marmot the pub
• lie.
( And here the Whig remarks that while tifc Con-
; federate government was making such a poor
i rnouth over the refuted failure of supplies while
i the people were !>emg starved thitt the army might
I be fed. this immense storehonse was bursting
i with fullness and plenty, to come finally to utter
j wreck and waste
j Many of the families who live in those portions
i of the city unburded have their houses tilled with
i goods taken from the burnt district. The Whig
calls on them lo restore the articles to their
■ owners.
The Libby prison is now used as a place in
i which to confine Federal political prisoners.
, Confederate bonds, .Confederate notes, bank
: checks, bills, flecked and whitened the streets iu
every direction.
The Whig closes its account of t-be terrible ea-
• lamity which has befallen the city with the annex
’ «d comment:
Truly, the ways of providence are inscrutable.
This hurtling of o r goodly city would seem at
lirst glance an unmitigated evil.^ But there is an
other view to be taken of it. ■ It has had one cer
tain good efiect.. If there lingered iu the ^hearts
! of ourpeople one spaik of affection for tlife Davis
j dynast/, this rnthless. useless, wanton handing
i over to tire flames tbeir fair city, their homes and
i altars, has extinguished it forever-_
- ————
; Mother’s Love —Lamartine t«jils a story that
’ exquisitely illustrates a mother’s love: lu some
spring freshet a river widely washed in its shores
and reutaway a bough whereon a bird had built a
cottage tor her summer hopes. Down the white
and whirling stream drifted the gteen branch with
its wicker cup 6f unfledged song, and fluttering
beside.it, as it went, the mother bird . Unheeding
i the roaring river, on she kept, her cries ot agony
and fear piercing the pauses of the storm. How
i like tiie love of the old-fashioned mother, who fol-
| lowed the child she had plucked from her heart,
‘ all over the world. Swept away by passion that
child might be, it mattered not, bearing away with
him the fragments of the roof tree, though he died
yet that mother was with him a Ruth through all
his lifa, and a Rachel at his death.

apply the emancipation proclamation to the hereto

touched by the action of Louisiana.
The new constitution of Louisiana, declaring eman

proclamation to 111e-part previously excepteu. It does
not adopt apprenticeship for freed people, aud it is
silent, as it could not well be otherwise, about ilic
admission of members to Congress. So that, as u
