Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad The rebellion kw receired a filial death trcke. Lee has fallen, fiii proud army, broken and destroyed in battle, re longer exUU even in its remnants. In iti deipair it hat given up the ghost. Beaten, flying, disorganized, falling into pieces with every mile it moved, lost to hope, to glory and to sense of shame, harassed on flank and rear and at last in front by the galloping horse men of fiery Sheridan, and the tireless pur suit of the unwearied Grant, the once proud army of Lee had become a mere rabble and rout, and its commander, when he could not save it, surrendered it. In that surrender the rebellion committed suicide. Its ghost may still haunt us for a time, but its life is gone and its deeds are things of the put. JefC Davis and his fel low traitors, fleeing to Danville, will .have to fly faster and farther than ever in their una vailiDg effort toetcspethelvemesis that fol low them. The walls of Mobile will fall like those of Jericho before the shout "Lee has surrendered. Johnston's army will scat ter to tha winds of Heaven when these dread tidings smite upon their ears. The Confederacy has utterly collapsed 1 The war is over ! I Grant dictated his own terms to the fly ing toft. The y were liberal and magnani mous. But nobody will quarrel about terms, so long as the rebellion is crushed and tbe government left free to hang Jef ferson Davis and his traitorous associates. Aye, thai the nation demands! Fly, Jef ferson Davis, with the speed and secrecy night, from the terrible wrath of an outraged people 1 Take the wings ot the wind : flee to the uttermost parts of the earth : call upon rooks and mountain! to hide you from the vengeance which awaits vou. The army oi the nation Is upon you. A more terrible army from whose dread pursuit you never can escape of pale wraiths, the spectres of those whom you have murdered, will haunt you throughout eternity. Tou may evade the vengeance of tbe Government and tbe people, but the vengeance of God yon cannot avert the mark of Cain is on yonr brow. The Accident to Mr. Seward. Our dispatches have repeatedly noticed the illness of Secretary Seward, arising from the fracture ot his arm. They have mentioned the fact that it wts occasioned his being threwn from his carriage, but have given ro details of tbe accident. The facts are as follows : About four o'clock on Wednesday after noon, as his carriage was standing in front i his son s home, tbe latter, nis wire and voune lady friend cot in. While the driver was in the act of closing the door witn nis right nana, nolding tne reins with bis left, the horses started. The driver held on, followed them, and endeavored to close the door. Mr. T. W. Seward, seeing the, anger, jumped from the carriage, with the hope of beading off the horses and stopping them. They, however, got away from mm ana tne ariver, ana wnen tney reached the corner of Vermont Avenue and tl street, Secretary Seward jumped from the carriage, falling upon his right arm, breaking it just below the shoulder, and bruuing his face. He was taken up an insensible condition by several gen tlemen and carried to his residence. Sur geon Abbott, of the United States Army, Verdiurra were called in ana set tne Drosen limb, after which the Secretary felt much easier, having by that time fully recovered bis reason. The ladies remained in the carriage until it arrived at the stable, where party of soldiers cauehl the horses. The driver was somewhat bruised. From the 23d Corps. Tbe following interesting items are for warded to the Cincinnati Commercial by Washington correspondent : A flag of truce, under the etuort of a Major and two Captains, from Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, made its appear ance yesterday in iront of Ueneral Uox s line. Captain Knapp, of the 104th Ohio, received their dispatcher, and forwarded tbem to General t'chofleld's headquarters. General Hampton, it is understood, desires enact an exenange ot prisoners now on hand. An answer has- not yet been re turned. Deeerters continue to come in. The posi tion of the armies is such that they can not come into our line wivu saieiy. xne pickets meet at the river, which makes it almost impossible for them to cross. Major General Uox yesterday formally assumed command of the 23d Army Corps. The order turning over the command, to gether with the battle-flag and banners of the corps, was formally delivered by Colo nel R. B Treat and Lieutenant Colonel J. A. Campbell, ot General Schofleld's staff. The Atlantic Telegraph. Capt. James Anderson, of the Cunard mU steamer China, has been appointed to command the Great Eastern during the laying of the AUanbo Telegraph uable. The Great Eastern will sail from Va lencia, Ireland, about the 1st of July, and may be expected at Heart s uontent, xrin ity Bay, by the middle of that month. There was 1662 nautical miles of cable completed on the 21t of March, and the whole 2800 miles will be made and on board tbe Great Eastern in May. The Admiralty have agreed toorder two powerful steamors of the Royal Navy to accompany the Great Eastern from Ireland to Newfoundland, and also to direct Vice Admiral Sir James Hope to afford such assistance on the approach of tbe expedi tion to Newfoundland as may be in his power. It is confidently expected that Europe and America will be in telegraphio com munication before the 20th of July.

A memorial was read from Charles Miller. charging Judge Van Trump, of Lancaster, with being oogmzant of the whereabouts of John Lee, who murdered two soldiers in February, 1864, when he, Lee, was a fugitive from justice, and with being his counsel at the same time. The memorial was referred to a select committee and the Clerk was or dered to notify Van Trump of the charge. It is thought this will result in the im peachment of the corrupt official. Mr. Bates introduced a bill to secure a uniform standard of proof of spirituous, and to provide for the appointment of an Adjuster of Hydrometers.

He replied that he was willing to grant the interview, but in the presence of a friend. After the reception of officers of the army and navy, it was annoutjyed to the Presi dent that Judge Campbell, rebel Assistant Secretary of War, and Mr. Myers, a mem ber ot tne late rebel Congress, were await ing an interview with him in another room. The President, accompanied by General Weitzel, immediately retired to the rojm, and held a conference which lasted but a short time and whioh was adjourned to the die-snip Malvern. The result of these conferences cannot be made known, but auspicious results are known to be about to accrue from them. The Meraid has Mobile Bay correspon dence opto the 31st ult.: It appear that General Granger Smith's corps marched from Danby'slMUls on tne asm for UlakeJr, meeting with slight opposition only on the first dav.

On tbe 2vtn our lorces were entrencnea within 70 yards of the fort. Several lives had been lost by torpedoes which are thick ly strewn around. Our lost average 150 per day. Three hundred of the enemy had been out off by a portion of our forces, but not yet captured, owing to their taking refuge in a .swamp. arly on tne morning; oi tne jum, tne rebels essayed an attack but were hand somely repulsed with heavy loss. Tbe rebel neet or gunsoat are on tne ex treme right but within musket range of our troops and earthwork is being completed to mount teige guns. Our loss up to tne ant were about mo.
