When our land id illumed with liberty's smile,
If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory,
Down, down with the traitor that dates to defile,
The flag of her 9tars and the page of her glory!
By the millions unchain'd who our birthright hare

We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is home of the brave!

Jubilate!
•Praise God from whom ail blessings flow.*
It is with difficulty thnt we compose ourselves
sufficiently to take up the pen. The events of
the past few days are calculated to unsettle the
brain and unsteady the nerves. Four long years
of war and woe, of patient waiting and joyous
hope, breathless anxiety and temporary depres
sion-four long years of bard fighting mid honest
toiling, ah ! when the strain of such a tension i 3
broken, the heart overflows in jubilation and the
weightiest affairs of every-day life sink into noth
ingness. VVe feel like going out in the street
and throwing up our hats with that wild enthu
siasm that bears every other consideration before
it, like the spring flood from the mountains.
Richmond is ours ! The Rebel Capital has fall
en ! Treason has received its death blow ! Trai
tors are fleeing from the vengeance of an outraged
nation 1 The righteousness of our cause is vindi
cated, our nationality is restored, our liberties
are secured, the rights of humanity are establish
ed, our fore-fathers are justified !
The old Flag floats once more in Richmond I
How every fibre of its glorious tissue seems en
twined arouned our tenderest heart strings. How
much it means to us to-day as we look upon its
simple colors glittering in the sun-light of Heav
en.
“God bless our flag, our dear old Flag !
We’ll strike it, never, never !
May God protect its stripes and stars,
Forever and forever 1”
And yet in our exultations we would not for
get to recognize the hand of Providence in all
the mysterious working of the past four years,
• and especially in this, their abundant issue.
Fighting there will doubtless yet be. But the
Rebellion is fairly started on the downward grade
and no human power can stay iTI descent.
The evacuation of Richmond shows the wis
dom of the skilful combinations of Gen. Grant.
He ha 9 proven himself master of his art. And
the nation can never pay the debt it owes to the ;
gallant soldiers and sailors who have borne the (
hopes of the Republic amid the battle smoke of t
the Rebellion. Every where the people are cele
brating the great victory.
IN BALTIMORE,
the news of the evacuation of the “Cockade City”
of Petersburg, of the subsequent fall of Rich
mond, “the backbone of the rebellion,” and the
inglorious retreat of the finest army and the best
leader of the rebellion —which was early placard
ed on the bulletin boards—spread like wild-fire
throughout the city. The loyal soon congregated
and congratulated oneanotheronthegloriousand
auspicious events of the hour. Cheer upon cheer
rent the air, and never seemed rejoicing more
heartfelt and sincere. The names of “Lincoln*’
‘•Stanton,” “Grant,” “Sherman,” “Sheridan,”
Maryland’s “Ord,” together with the “Mary
land Brigade”—aud not forgetting “Our Colored
Maryland Brigade,” the first to enter the Rebel
Captal—were greeted with cheers in their praise
that rent the air in their vehemence. This ex
citement continued through the day and until
nightfall.
Flags and illuminations were every where dis
played, and Baltimore St., in front of the Ameri
can office was so densely packed with crowds of
overjoyed citizens that the railway cars were
compelled to stop running. A platform was
erected in front of the American office and speech
es were made by Geo. W. Sands, Esq., J. J.
Stewart, Judge Bond, Lt. Gov. Cox others.
Gen. Morris had kindly furnished the splendid
Band of the Bth U. S. Infantry for the occasion,
which performed the national airs from the plat
form. Many private and public buildiDgs were
illuminated and the scene presented was one of
the grandest ever witnessed. Stores were closed
and every person that had a spark of patriotism
in bis breast, joined in the universal hilarity.
IN WASHINGTON,
there was a general suspension of business, the
streets were crowded and the wildest enthusiasm
prevailed, cannons were roaring, flags were fly
ing, bands playing, public offices were closed
and everybody g ive himself up the joyousness of
the occasion.
The Foreign Ministers called upon Secretary
Seward to express their congratulations. Vast
crowds collected in front of the War Department
and called upon Mr. Stanton for a speech, which
he gave in such a feeling and appropriate style
that we publish it.
Friends and Fellow- Citizens —In this great hour
of triumph, my heart, as well as yours, is pene
trated with gratitude to Almighty God for his
deliverance of this nation. [Tremendous and
prolonged cheering. Our thanks are due to the
President [cheers,] to the annynnd navy [cheers,]
to the great commanders by sea and laud
[cheers,] to the gallant officers and men who
have periled their lives upon the battle-field and
drenched tbs soil with their blood. [Great
cheers.]
Henceforth our commiseration, and our aid
should be given to tbe wounded, the maimed aud
the suffering, who bear the marks of their great
sacrifices in this mighty struggle. Let ns hum
bly offer up our thanks to Divine Providende for
His care over us, aud beseech Him that He will
Snide and govern us iu our duties hereafter as
e has carried us forward to victories in the
past; that He will teach us how to be humble in
the midst of triumph, how to be just in the hour
of victory, and that lie will enable us to secure
the foundations of this Republic, soaked as they
have been in blood, so that it shall live for ever
and ever. [Enthusiastic cheers.]
Let us also not forget the laboring millions in
other lands who in this struggle have given ns
their sympathies, their aid and their prayers, and
let us bid them rejoice with us in our great tri
umph. Then, having done this, let os trust the
future to God, who will guide us, as heretofore,
according to His own good will. [Loud cheers.]
A large crowd subsequently collected in front
of the State Department, and called out Secreta
ry Seward, who after the cheers had subsided,
addressed as follows:
“I thank you, fellow-citizens, for reraember
iog me in this hour of the nation’s prosperity
and triumph. [Cheers.] I suppose you have all
become converts at last, however much you may
have differed from me heretofore iu my great doc
trine, that the war is to be brought to an end,
end to a triumphant end, in ninety days. [Great
laughter and cheers ] I have stood four years up
on that platform. [Shouts of laughter.] I al
wayi thought that a patient who despaired of
■ ‘ • ..A cm* a.-'M-v* ]
life for ninety days was not likely to live four j
years. ✓
“Now, fellow-citizens, I shall have to make ,
my apology to y6u, for 1 am just writing my des
patches to Europe. [Applause.] What shall i
tell the Emperor of China? I will tell the Empe
ror of China we thank him for never permitting
a pirate to enter his porta within the last four
years, and he may be sure no one will ever come
there after that time, [Laughter and cheers.] —
What shall I tell the Sultan of Turkey? Give
him your thanks that in no one province of his
dominions was ever a Rebel permitted to euter
without being arrested and sent back to the Uui
ted States of America. [Cries of ‘that’s it,’ and
eheeriug.] What shall I teil the Emperor of
Austria ? [Tell him to bring home Maximilian.]
1 will tell the Emperor of Austria, that he waß a
wiser man than the other Sovereigns of Europe,
when he said, four years ago, that ‘lie didn't
like revolution much any way.’ WhatshalU tell
the Emperor of Russia ? Thnt we will ask the
Secretary of the Navy to send a fleet over there
and return the visit he made to us a year ago.—
What shall I tell the Emperor of France? [To
get out of Mexico.] I will tell him to tell the Em
peror of Russia and the King of Prussia that if
the Rebels have not destroyed their tobacco,
thev will find it safe at Richmond. [Greatlaugh
ter HDd cheers.] W T hat shall 1 tell John Bull?
1 will tell him that cotton is to be had cheaper
by paving duties to the U. S. than by running
the blockade, and tell him to tell Lord John
Russell that this is a war for freedom, for the
rights of mau and for Union—not a war for em
pire; and therefore, if lie i 3 only just and right
in his treatment towards the Uuited States, Can
ada is safe as long as she prefers the Queen of
England for her sovereign to a union with the
Uuited States of America. If you agree to these
messages, I believe I will jot them down, and I
think that they will satisfy the world that the
true principle of government is for every nation
to take care of itself and let every other nation
take care of itself, and the true motto, peace and
good will to all mankind.”
IN ANNAPOLIS,
the glorious news was announced in extras from
the Gazette office, and a salute ot 100 guns was
fired by order of Adjt. Gen. Berry. A large
crowd gathered around the old State House,
which was addressed by Gov. Bradford in his
most eloquent and patriotic style, while the Na
val Academy Hospital Band took position in the
portico that surrounds the dome and played the
most stirring National airs.
IN PHILADELPHIA,
the bell in the old Independence Hall was rung,
aud every where throughout the land salutes
were fired, business suspended, and the most en
thusiastic joy pervaded all classes ot the commu
nity.
The Income Tax.
Aa Assessor in Buffalo N. Y. has received the
following letter from the C jnmiissioner of Inter
nal Revenue, and as its rulings are applicable to
all sections, we publish it for the benefit of any
of our readers who may be interested.
We have heard complaint from different por
tions of the county, that men reputed rich have
relumed little or no income, and are willing to
perjure themselves to avoid paying their share of
the National Tax. Those who have made short
returns should observe that by this letter their ca
ses may be examined into at any time. The as
sessors are now furnishing each man with a blank
on which to make out a full and correctstate
medt of bis income from all the various sources,
with the deductions authorized by law. If the
promptings of patriotic duty, aud justice toward
those who must share this burden equally with
ourselves, are not sufficient to ensure a correct
return, it would be well to take notice, that an
investigation may be made at any time and the
guilty person exposed to the public and the pen
alty be inflicted on him :
“Treasury Department, Office of Internal
Revenue, Washington, March 8, 1865.— Sir:—
Complaints have been made to this office ns to
the manner in which income returns have been
made in many Collection Districts in the United
States, and concerning yours among others. It
is in the power of the assessor, and it is also his
duty, to require all persons who have filled affi
davits that they were not in posession of S6OO
income for 1862 and 1863, where he supposes the
statement to be fraudulent, to appear before him
and explain or rectify their returns tr affidavits.
“It is reasonable that persons whose family
expenses were overs2,oooperyear mu3t have tax
able income, and yet it is known that persons
who lived at a rate requiring an expenditure of
from $2,000 to $5,000, have made affidavits that
their incomes did not amount to S6OO per year
in the years referred to. All such returns are
presumptively erroneous, and in many instances
are probably fraudulent.
“Ollier persons engaged in trade of various
kinds have assumed tbeir income to bare been
some certain sum, without taking an inventory.
Others have made greater deductions than is al
lowed by law, such as expenses oflabor and ma
chinery and new buildings. Wheresnch returns
are made under circumstances which show that
there was a deliberate intent to mislead the as
sessor, or evade the payment of the proper tax,
they ought to be re-assessed by the assessor.—
For though a mere mistaken return after it has
been examined, and the tax paid, may not be re
examined, any fraudulent return may be inquired
into at any time. No man can benefit liis own
wrong, and no time cau cure what is void or
voidable by reason of fraud.
“Where a tax-payer comes forward and makes
a voluntary amendment of his former return,
with the statement that be made an improper re
turn under an honest misapprehension of the hyw,
and you are satisfied that he was not incited to
this course by fear of detection, you can receive
his return if you are fully satisfied of its correct
ness without the addition of any penalty. But
when, upon investigation, you find a person
clearly guilty of having purposely made short re
turns, you should, if the return was since July,
1864, assess the one hundred per cent, penalty
for fraud, and in addition report the ease to the
Collector for such action as he deems fit.
Very respectfully,
Jos. J. Lewis, Comissioner.
The Resources of the South.
The waste of life and material caused by the
war is immense on both side 9. But it is one of
the strongest evidences of the vitality of the
North, that by means of immigration and other
reparative forces, she is steadily increasing in
population and wealth, in spite of the war. Over
and above the army and those who are engaged
in supplying its wauts, there is a great and in
creasing multitude of laborers engaged in devel
oping the national resources, clearing new lands,
working mines, opening new sources of wealth,
and thus not only meeting the waste of war, but
constantly adding to the national capital.
In the South it is not so. All the energies of
the entire people are absorbed in the work of
feeding and clothing the army, and keeping
themselves alive. There is no power to make
up for the terrible ruin wrought by the war, the
desolation that broods over seaports and planla
tiitions, the evidences of decay visible on every
side, the poverty and suffering among those who
never knew what want was before. Nothing has
been done to repair the destruction of rail roads
and mechincry, the ruinou9 loss of capital by the
abandonment of the culture of cotton, and the
labor and money expended on monitions of war,
that has been going on ever since 1861. Slave
labor, never worth much, has been greatly re
duced by the war, and what remains of it has
become so demoralized by the rumors of emanci
pation that for four years liavU floated southward
on every breeze, that it is to-day oflittleeffeclive
value. And if the rebellion were successful, the
most dismal apprehensions would be realized in
years of stagnation and poverty throughout the
South.
Still the real source of wealth in the South is
the fertility of her soil and the mildness of her
climate, aud these are things on which war can
leave no trace. And with a restoration of the
Union, the immigration of free white labor, the
resumption of amicable traffic with the North and
with Europe, we may iu a few years see the
South more smiling and prosperous than in the
palmiest days of the slaveocracy.
Accident to Sec. Seward. —On Wednesday
last, the hordes attached to the carriage of Sec.
Seward, took fright and ran away. Mr. Seward
jumped from the carriage and in the fall broke
his right arm just below the shoulder and bruised
his face badly. The broken bone was set and
nothing serious is apprehended from the injury.
Promotion.— Col. N. L. Jeffries, late Provost
Marshal General for Maryland and Delaware, and
more recently Assistant Provost Marshal General
at Washington, has been breveted Brigadier Gen
eral, for faithful services in line of bis duty.
| VICTORY! VICTORY!!
Richmond has Fatten!
The Skull of the Rebellion Cracked.
HARD FI6tWG!
Great Success of our Armies!
On Wednesday of last week Gen. Grant began
bis grand movement against the Southside Rail
Road, below Petersburg. Sheridan with his Caval
ry led the advance on the extreme left, followed
by the greater part of the army. Their advance
was stubbornly resisted as the possession of that
Rail Road, made the evacuation of Petersburg
and Richmond a necessity to the Rebels.
Heavy fighting took place on Friday and Sat
urday, resulting in some temporary disasters to
our troops at the outset, but resulting in the ut
ter defeat of the enemy, the capture of many
prisoners, cannons and trains, and finally in the
Evacuation of Petersburg aud Richmond and the
hurried retreat of the enemy.
President Lincoln has been with the army for
more than a week past and constantly forward
ed dispatches to the Sec. of War, while the fight
ing was in progress. The following dispatch was
the first official announcement of the fall cf Rich
mond, which city our troops entered at half past
eight o’clock on Sunday morning.
War Department, Washington, April 3d.
Maj. Gin. Fix, New York:
The following official confirmation of the cap
ture of Richmond and announcing that the city
is on fire has just been received by this Depart
ment :
City Point, Va., April 3. 1865 —11 A. M.
General Weitzel telegraphs as follows:
“We took Richmond at 8.15 this morning.
“1 have captured many guns.
“The enemy left in great haste.
“The city is on fire in one part, and I am ma
king every effort to put it out.
“ The people received us with enthusiastic expres
sions of joy /’ ’
General Grant started early this morning with
his army toward the Danville Railroad to ent off
Lee’s retreating army if possible.
President Lincoln has gone to the front.
(Signed) T. S. Bowers, A. A. G.
Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
Gen. Weitzel subsequently telegraphed that he
found in Richmond 23 locomotives, 44 passenger
and baggage cars and 106 freight cars.
After the defeat of the enemy they retreated
in the utmost disorder evidently trying to reach
Danville to effect a junction with Johnson’s for
ces. Grant promptly pursued the retreating re
bels. Large numbers of prisoners have been ta
ken, variously estimated.at from 13,000 to 18,000.
The country is full of stragglers and deserters
trying to reach home, and the line of Lee’s re
treat was marked by abandoned gunsand ammu
nition, burnt wagons, caissons, ambulances, kc.
The houses in the vicinity of the battle are like
wise filled with wounded rebels. Our own loss,
it is said, will not exceed 10,000 men of whom
near 2,000 are prisoners. Gen. Wintbrop of the
Union army aDd Gen. A. P. Hill of the rebel ar
my are killed, and the rebel Gen. Ransom is bad
ly wounded and a prisoner. Our cavalry is con
stantly bringing in prisoners, and all goes to show
that the pluck and power of Lee’s army is effect
ually destroyed.
The following dispatch from Gen. Grant shows
the state of affairs on Tuesday last:
Wilson’B Station, Va., April 4, 27 miles west
of Petersburg.—Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary
of War: The army is pushing forward in the
hope of overtaking or dispersing the remainder
of Lee’s army.
Sheridan, with his cavalry and the Fifth Corps;
is between this point and the Appomattox river.
Gen. Meade, with the Second and Sixth Corps is
following. Gen. Crd is following the line of the
South Side railroad.
All of the enemy that retains anything like or
ganization have gone North of the Appomattox,
and are apparently heading for Lynchburg.
Their losses are very heavy. The houses
throughout the country are nearly all used as hos
pitals for wounded men. In every direction we
baer of rebel soldiers pushing for home, some iu
large and some in small squads and generally
without arms.
The cavalry have pursued so closely that the
enemy have beeii forced to destroy probably the
greater part of their transportation, caissons and
munitions of war.
The number of prisoners captured yesterday
will exceed two thousand.
From the 28th of March to the present timeonr
loss in killed, wounded and captured will notprob
ably reach seven thousand, of whom from fifteeu
huudred to two thousand were captured, and
many but slightly wounded.
I shall continue the pursuit as long as there ap
pears to be any use in it.
U. S. Grant, Lieut. Geu.
The following official dispatch appears in
Thursday’s papers.
War Department, April s—ll P. M.
Major Gen. JJix, New York :
Lieut Gen. Grant telegraphs to this depart
ment from Nottoway Court House as follows:
“Last night Geu. Sheridan was on the Dan
ville Railroad, South of Amelia Court House,
and sent word to General Meade, who was fol
lowing with the Second and Sixth Corps by what
is kno nns the River road, that if the troops
could be got up in time he had hopes of captur
ing or dispersing the whole of Lee’s army 1”
lam moving the left wing, commanded by
Gen. Ord, by the Cox or direct Burkesville road.
We will be to-night at or near Burkesville.
I have had no communication with Gens. Sher
idan or Meade to-day, but hope to hear very
soon that they have come up with and captured
or broken up the balance of the Army of North
ern Virginia.
In every direction we learu of the men of that
army going home, generally without arms.
Sheridan reports Lee at Amelia Court House
to-day. E. M. Stanton,
Sec. of War.
Burkesville is the junction of the Danville and
Southside R. Roads, and its possession by our
forces makes it next to impossible for Lee to
reach either Danville or Lynchburg. Besides it
is known that Gen. Thomas, i 3 advancing from
the West with a heavy cavalry force, and a large
body of infantry under Gen. Hancock is at the
same time moving up the Valley in the direction
of Lynchburg, and it will* be little short of a
miracle if Lee succeeds in evading the toils tiiat
have been so warily laid for him.
Through a despatch from Assistant Secretary
of War Dana, we have some particulars relative
to our triumphal entry into the once capital of
the “Confederacy.” On Sunday Gen. Lee tele
graphed Davis that he was driven hack and that
he must retreat, and the new s was announced in
the churches. Jeff, had, it seems, prepared for
the contingency, aud becoming demoralized, de
camped between two days, with the “Cabinet,”
the “Congress,” joined, no doubt, by the Legis
lature of Virginia, and others of the chivalry.—
Gen. Ewell fired the city, and all the business por
tion of Main street to the James was destroyed.
The offices of the Enquirer and. Dispatch were
burned, together with the bridges over the river.
Many families remained on the Arrival of the
“Yankees” and placed themselves under their
protection, including Mrs. Genera! Lee. The
residence of Davis has been taken possession of
by Major Gen. Weitzel, the commander of the
colored troops. Major Gen. Casey and staff'have
taken quarters and are engaged in recruiting the
“contrabands.” A later despatch from Rich
mond direct, states that Gen. Weitzel captured
in Richmond five hundred pieces of artillery, five
thousand stand of arms, one thousand well pris
oners, and five thousand Rebel wounded. Pres
ident Lincoln visited Richmond on Tuesday, and
returned to City Point on Wednesday.
fT’lt is estimated that the oil product of
Venango County, Pa., is at least 10,000 bar
rels daily. This, at the average price of ten
dollars at the wells, which is a low average
will give one hundred thousand dollars a
day, or over thirty-one. million dollars a
year. The number of wells on Oil Creek,
in July, 1862, was seven hundred ; at the
present time, the number of wells down ant)
going down in tbe country is estimated be
tween three and four thoueaod ■

Pleasant Entertainment. —Mr. R. C. McGinn,
who has charge of the Public School in this place,
lias instituted a system of rewards among his
scholars, as an inducement to study and good
behavior. Each scholar receives a ticket for ev
ery perfect recitation, and the one who has the
largest number of these tickets at the end of a
quarter receives a prize. On Friday evening,
31st ult. we were invited to witness the presenta
tion of the prize for the last quarter. Quite a
number of visitors and patrons of the school
were present. Mr. McGinn entertained tbe audi
ence for some time with short examinations in
the various studies pursued in S'hool, interspers
ed with singing and declamations by the Schol
ars. After these exercises were over, the prize,
which was a handsome picture neatly enclosed
in a gilt frame, was awarded to Mary Owings,
daughter of our neighbor, the ci ierot the court.
After the awarding of the prize Mr. L. M. Ilaver
stick came forward and surprised Mr. McGinn by
presenting to him a very neat copy of Pope’s
Poetical Works, a token of affection and esteem
sec.etly gotten up by the scholars, aided by Mr.
Flay hart. %
Occasions like the above are always interesting
and profitable. They cheer the teacher and en
courage the scholars. We are glad to see that
parents nre leginning to manifest some interest,
in the education of their children and sometimes
think it worth their while to look into the School
room. Under the teaching of Mr. McGinn and
Miss. Emma Pilson our Public School is flourish
ing, and it is but a slight return for their fidelity,
that parents should occasionally stop in and
speak,a word of gratification and encouragement.
The great difficulty with the Towsontown school
is its unmanageable size. Children enough are
daily packed into the school to fill two similar
rooms. Health, comfort, progress, require that
the scholars should be graded and organized in
to, at least, firo seperate schools;each under its
own teacher.
Child Killed. —On Wednesday morning last,
we started for the city in the 7 o'clock car, and ns
usual took the one-hor3etar at the city boundary
for Gay street. While passing down Greenmount
Avenue near Madison street, a child about three
years old got on the track, and before the car
could be stopped it was knocked down by the
platform and the front wheel passed right over
its head, crushing it to death in an instant. There
was great commotion among the passengers and
women and children who rushed to the spot from
all sides. It was a painful sight, and several la
dies fainted. The poor mother was well nigh
frantic. This melancholy affair should be a les
son to all concerned. While parents allow their
children, especially those so young as the one just
killed, to run about and play on the railroad
track, nothing short of Divine Providence can
preventphe recurrence of similar accidents. It
also shows the necessity of watchfulness and care
on the part of those driving cars and other vehi
cles through a Crowded street.
A Coroner’s Jury was summoned, who exam
ined a number of witnesses and rendered a ver
dict of accidental death, entirely exonerating Mr.
Hollingsworth, the driver.
♦ -
Joint Discussion. —The Randallstown Literary
Association lately invited the Powell’s Run As
sociation to a joint discussion, which was accept
ed, and Wednesday ev’g April 19, selected for the
occasion. The question chosen is, “Was Hanni
bal a greater man than Caesar.” The Randalls
town Association takes the affirmative. The
Judges are Messrs. Bcnj. Zimmerman, John Rus
sell and Wm. H. Shipley, The discussion will
take place in the basement of Mt. Olive Church.
These two associations deserve great credit for
their activity and enterprise. Their success
speaks well for the general intelligence of their
respective communities.
Religious. —Last Sunday Rev. John S. Deule,
Preacher in charge of the N. Baltimore Circuit,
M. E. Church, preached an interesting and able
discourse from 1 Cor. 1.—21 to 23, at Epsom
Church, Towsontown. At the conclusion of the
services, the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was
administered. Next Sunday, April 9th, Rev. F.
E. Church will preach at Epsom in the morning
and at Welington in the afternoon. Mr. Deale
on the same day will preach at Govanstowu in

Claim Agents. —We invite all those who have
claims of any Kind against the Government, to
notice the card of Burnside Gustin & Co. in
another column. There are widows and discharg
ed soldiers throughout the county who have
Pension or Back Pay due them, and if.they want
all such accounts speedijy and satisfactorily ad
justed, there is no better office than that of the
gentlemen named above. We know them to be
reliable from personal acquaintance.
St. Lawrence. —This well-known horse is ad
vertised for the season in another column. His
pedigree and description are sufficient to ensure
liis reputatiou for speed and disposition. Few
horses combine 60 many good qualities as St.
Lawrence. His stock will every where recom
mend him, and the prices for which his colts are
sold, is an item of value to Farmers.

Raid on the Chesapeake.
Capture of a Steamer and Schooner.
■4
About 2 P. M., on Wednesday as the steamer
Harriet Deford laden with tobacco and wheat was
on her way from the Patuxent river to Baltimore,
she stopped at Fair Haven landing as usual to
take on passengers aud freight. About 30 men
dressed in rebel uniform and armed to the teeth
here came on board, took possession of the boat,
and compelled the officers and nlSthe white pas
sengers to go on shore, retaining only the engi
neer and fireman and about 30 colored men. Capt
League, commander of the steamer and others
were robbed of their money. The rebels imme
diately.steam* d down the Bay under a full head
of steam. It is supposed that they were a part
of Moaeby’s gang of guerillas, under command
of Capt. Fitzhugh.
As soon as information of the piracy was giv
en, several fast sailing government steamers were
sent in pursuit, and it is to be hoped
rels will be caught with their booty.
The schooner, St. Mary’s, was also captured off
Cedar Point at the mouth of Patuxent river by
another gang of 30 men who represented them
selves as Federal soldiers anxious to reach Point
Lookout. A free use of hemp is the only remedy
for these outrages.

Jeff. Davis’ Valedictory Proclama
tion of April Ist.
Whereas, In the course of inhuman Yankee
events the capital of the Confederate States of
America no longer affords an eligible and healthy
residence for the members of the present Cabinet,
not to speak of the Chief Magistrate himself, the
Vice President, and the members of the two Con
gressional bodies, I do therefore, by virtue of the
power vested in my two heels, proclaim my in
tention to travel instanter, in campany with all
the officers of the Confederate States Government,
and to take tip such agreeable quarters as may
yet be Granted unto me.
To such persons as are in arms against the Con
federate States of America, 1 do hereby tender
absolute amnesty on condition tjiatlhey forthwith
desist from annoying our patriotic population.
Under the circumstances, slavery had better be
abolished.
The capital of the Confederacy will hencefor
ward be found “ up astump” ou the picturesque
banks of the celebrated “ Last Ditch.”
To the foreign subscribers to the Confederate
loau I return sincere thanks.
Major General Grant, U. S. A., will please see
that they get their cotton.
All persons having claims against this Govern
ment will please present them to A. Lincoln,
Uichuicnd, by whom all such accounts will be
most cheerfully audited.
It is not altogether improbable that the glori
ous experiment of a slaveholders’ confederacy
may yet prove a delusion and a snare. I have
often tluu'ht so. So has General Lee, who has
lately len fighting mostly for his last year’s sal
ary.' The Confederate treasury being light, 1
think I will take it in my valise. General Lee
thinks that we have a goed opening before us,
and that we have seen the last of this fratricidal
war. I hope so. Stephens thinks peace more
imminent than ever.
If the United States persists in refusing to re
cognize the Confederacy, on my return I shall
again urge the arming of the negroes.
• Office-seekers are respectfully solicited to cease
their importunings. Fellow-citizens, farewell.
J. Davis.
President Confederate States of America.

ONE HUNDRED ACRES,
about 50 of which are cleared, chiefly meadow.

rare inducements to capitalists and others, as
the sub-division of so large an estate, and its
ownership by different persons must soon en

the public.

credit of six and twelve months, with interest,
to be secured to the satisfaction of the Trustee.
