Richmond has fallen. ThisLbrief and signifi? cant announcement ere now has ..penetrated every portion "of this continent. The exuberant and vacillating population of thc-North arc in howling ccstacies ever the* long-wishcd-for. 'event?that sin? gle object for which they have expended enough of blood and treasure to have established an empire? that goal to which, for more than four years, thcy havo been looking with-cyes distended and gaping .mouths. At last, afjtcr tho most obstinate strug? gling and desperate fighting, coupled with a perr scveranco unexampled, the proud old city is in ' their vandal .grasp. With the thousands and tens of thousands who have been laid* low in tho dust, in this effort to capture a single city, the people of the North have'nothing to do. - They only know that Richmond is occupied by the remnant of those grand armies which have marohed and counter? marched before her gates, and hitherto with want of success. Scarce a sigh'escapes from the moth? ers and wives and sisters of their land for the frightful carnage and loss of life. In this they havo no interest?their sons and husbauds and brothers arc safely ensconced at home, while the hired minion3 of their pampered master have been led to the slaughter. They rejoice and make mer? ry over {he graves cf the slain. It is enough that Richmond has succumbed in the end to their re? peated and furious assaults upon its approaches. How different with the people of our own* sunny homcs .' In all this contest for Virginia's glorious - capital, every true man and woman in tho South has bent eagerly, forward to catoh the swelling notes of victory or learn tho fare of some loved friend or relative. With each encounter came the sorrowful nows of a beloved one cut down in the vigor of life. All along through tllcso years.of doubt and hope, the shouts of exultation have been hashed amid ?ie scenes of sorrow and grief. And - now, that' the place which has been defended so gallantly' and heroically, by the costly sacrifice of precious blood.?has fallen from o*ur hands, the Southern heart is beating tremulously for tho fate of those ^sterling patriots, who have again and again bared their breasts in its defence, and were compelled, after ?ll their noble eacrificcs, to wit? ness iti-evacuation. Truly are we humiliated in this '-respect, and arc fnnght another lesson,'sorrowful- and sad, of the evanescent nature ofhuman hopcs._ Eutnpartfrem the serious lof-s of men during the few days before the eapital was uncovered, wc sh^dd not^ bo dis ? couraged." History will record .the defence of Richmond as the projidest in the annals of war ; and it has been surrendered now because of supe-" rior numerical force of the enemy, and not from any lack'of ability in our Generals or want of cour-. ago among the soldiery. Their duty was fully and fauhfitfty .performed, and t'le last daj-s of their defence may be pointed to with equal prido and Sylionor.as the first. ; \ln the language of our noble President, 'dot us," ?' not despond.''"'

In the city of Richmond the evacuation was sud? den, although anticipated, and hence, many, per? sons were caught by the eurpriso who would gladly have comic away. Gen. Brcckinridgc and General Lawton, the Secretary of War and Quartermaster; General, on leaving the city, went ou horseback to the headquarters of Gen. Lee. Merchants.threw .open their stores to nur soldiers, and valuables were freely given to the men. The agency of the South Carolina Central Association, under the di? rection'of Col. E. P. Jones, was likewise opened to the array and the troops permit led to supply them? selves with blankets and clothing. Judge Campbell, of Alabama, tho Assistant Secre? tary of War, it is feared, is left, behind, but no cer? tainty exists on the subject. "Most of the valuable Government property had been previously removed. The Tredcgur Iron Works, Ordnance Dopartments, Naval Bureaus, .&c., are all safe; so that the loss will fall most heav? ily on the merchants and citizens. ?

He breathed I his last to-night at 10- minutes before 8 o'clock. I stood myself by the side of his dying couch and ministered to all hi3 wants. He suffered his sore afflictions-with Christian fortitude and resignation. His last moments were calm and peaceful, and he died without ? struggle or groan.
