FROM RICHMOND.
W S I E E WT O CITY.
'^_ njftl
., Kaw YOBK, April 8,
RICHMOND FORTIFICATIONS.
The Her aid's correspondentsays, the
works in front of Richmond consist of
three strong lines, wholly enveloping
the city. The outer ones are continu
ous. The inner one consisting of a se
ries of strong redoubts and bastion
forts, all mount upwards of 200 guns,
and would, had they been properly gar
risoned, formed a most impregnable se
ries of defenses. Torpedoes wore thick
ly strewn over the ground, marked with
flags for the safety of rebels, but which
they neglected to remove in their has
ty flight, and this saved many of the
lives of out, men. When marching in
to Richmond, the second line was
found equally as atrong as
thefirst,ex-recently
cepting as to torpedoes. These works
situated on nigh ground, like the oth
ers, mount heavy guns.
PARTICULARS OF THE KEHKL HEGIRA.
Davis received Lee's dispatch to
evacuate the city while in
Davis took one train he escaped with
a horse and carriage 60 as to take Co
the country in case the road was inter
rupted. He expressed himself as be
ing yet determined not to give up,
though it was certain he had. bat little
hope lelt. Extra-Billy Smith did not
leave till after midnight. He left his
wife behind, as also did General Lee.
The news'of the death of her son W.
H. Lee, has been received.
The Legislature was in session as
late as 9 O'clock Sunday night, when
they started for Columbia by canal and
James river. Brecken-idge left the
city as late as 6 o'clock Monday morn
ing. A large number of rebel officers
were captured.and paroled.
The Tribune's Richmond correspon
dent says when Davis received Lee's
dispatch in^church he rose much agita
ted, and left church. All eyes centred
upon him when the services were con
cluded. The miuister was handed a
note as speedily as possible.
[This dispatch which promised.to be
highly iuteiesting, breaks Off
here.]

right
The Richmond Whig says Governor
Smith made a speech on Sunday,
paying the rebel troops were victo
rious, and Richmond should not be-she'ep
eracuated, and then left on horseback.
Later dates give additional particulars
of the evacuation which had been go
ing on for a month, but the people
were blinded and made to believe Re
moval was..meant as merely precaution
ary.
On Sunday morning the silver coin
belonging to the Louisiana banks and
recently appropriated by the Confeder
ate Congress was run down to the Dan
ville train also the specie of the Rich
mond, banks Then the programme
for the departure of the officials was ar
ranged. A number of trains, were, to
leave during the evening, yet there was
not room for all who thought it desira
to get away. Davis was to depart
at 7 in the afternoon—Breckeuridge
had to get off on horseback with the
rest of the army on Monday morning.
Governor Smith ran off durin,
night
FEELING IN RICHMOND.
A letter from Richmond the 5th,is
says, the new state of affaire in this
city grvea general satisfaction to the
residents who show their gratitude,
rendering every attention and informa
tion to our soldiers, and on the soldiers
part they are kind and courteous—this
giving contradiction to the false reports
of the rebel' press. The best of order
prevails. The streets after the tattoo,
art free from soldiers, excepting the
patrol, or changing of guards. No bar
rooms are yet allowed to be opened, and
what whisky is found is confiscated and
poured into the streets.
Civil laws have been suspended for
the present military law governs, the
city. In time We' may look for the res
toration of our municipal government
upon a Union' foundation, and resump
tion of Legislation in all of its depart
ments.
REPAIRING THE SOUTHSIDE RAILROAD
The Times* City Point correspond
says the Southside railroad it being
reconstructed at the rate of six miles
per day, and is already used to carry
supplies to Our army in the field.
The Timet? Richmond corresDondent
Mail communication with City PoimV
was'to be established at once. The
city is perfectly quiet, and the conduct
of our troops admirable.
—Mr, S. A. Boopor, of Belle Phine^,
sold to a butcher from Chica
go, twenty-five oxen for twenty-five hun
dred dollars. Beat that, then ha will
try again.—Shahopee Argus:
—The Argus says there are 53,000
bushels of wheat in store at that place,
awaiting shipment. This is exclusive
ot 15,000 bushels disposed, of during
the winter,
—The first number of tho Anoka
Sentinel, formerly the Star, made its
appearance last week Charles W, Fol
som, editor. .-
—The Sentinel says thin farmers In
Anoka county have commenced their
spring plowing.
—The Austin Regittcr states that
Mr. Gregson's stone flouring mill, near
that place, fell to the ground a few days
since. The foundation stones were in
sufficient to austain the weight of the
walls, and'the action of the frost and
high water set them to crumbling,
when the building caved in.
—Several of our agricultural friends
inform us that they have already seed
ed a portion of their spring crops. Sev
eral fields of oats and also wheat were
sown as early as last week. Sowing
wheat in northern Minnesota in March
is really something deserving of more
than a passing notice.—MinneajtoHs
Atlas.
W learn that two enterprising
Minnesotians, who have heretofore en
gaged quite extensively in stock raising,
expect to bring some fifteen thousand
iiito Minnesota this year. They
will probably select some location in
the Big Woods for their stock homes.
Besides these we hear of several others
who design to go into wool-growing 00
a more moderate scale. A few years
more and Minnesota will be numbered
among the' most important wool-grow
ing States in the Union.—Ibid.
—There is a large spring located near
the shore of the Minnesota river, in
the town of Eden Prairie, where they
catch fish by the wagon load. The fish
ascend the stream from 'the river 'until
the spring becomes literally jammed,
when the farmers go to work with hay
forks and toss them out by thousands.
Although this sounds very like a big
fish story, yet we ean vouch for its be-of
ing entirely true.—*lb*
—Rev. A Conwell, chaplain to
tbe late 1st Minnesota Regiment, is in
the the: city passing to the land districts in
this State to select over one thousand
homesteads for soldiers and seamen. It
his! third trip on this business, and
will make his entries amount to 250,-Pike
000 acres.—Press.
—The body of a man was discover
ed near the mouth of Hay Creek, A
inquest was held Monday, the vcidict
being, accidental drowning. The body
was.that of a man thirty-five or. forty
ears old, and five feet eight inches in
height. From tjbo clothing found on
.the body, he was supposed to have been
a steamboat hand.—Red Wing1 Argus,
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—That was a
good joke on a young and gallant Hos
ier officer, who, on receiving a note
from a lady ''requesting the pleasure of
his company0 at a party to be given at
her house, on the evening designated,
took his volunteers and marched them
to the young lady's residence. When
it was explained to him that it was him
self alone who had been invited, he
said, "By golly, the letter said compa
ny, a thought the lady wanted to
see all my boys.

8. S Grai.nis' steamboat, lying in
the bay, at the same place, and fitted
np with machinery for making shin
gles, was blown down the river against
an island below town. She is probably
severely damaged, as her upper works
ate partially blown away and lies on her
side on shore. Daniels, Howe & Co.

JOHN S- NICOLAY, the newly ap
pointed Consul to Paris, is a native of
Bavaria, a practical printer, an editor
of tact and ability, a lawyer and an ac
complished scholar. edited the
County, (111.) Free Presi in 1854,
was active in the Fremont canvass in
1856, was Assistant Secretary of State
ot Illinois from 1858 to 1861, and then
appointed Private Secretary to Mr.
Lincoln. He is well versed in the Eu
ropean languages and in matters of in
ternational law, and will, without doubt,
satisfactorily discharge the duties of the
Paris consulate which -have been I so
well attended to by Mr. Bigelow.
When it is remembered that Mr.
Bigelow, the newly appointed minister
to France, was one of the editors of the
New York Evening Post, Mr. Lincoln's
good judgment. in going to a proper
source to select suitable persons for fill
ing important offices, will be apprecia
ted.
HE Cincinnati Commercial, in
speaking of Vice-President Johnson's
recent inebriation, says:
If he were sentenced to be stoned to
death for his *!«. the eastern portico of
the Capitol, and it was necessary to find a
committee of ^Congressmen who never
drank Whisky to east the first stone, his
chances to escape execution would be rea
sonably good.

HE Edinburgh Review ranks Grant
and Sherman among the foremost cap
tains in history. Concerning the ope
rations around Chattanooga in the fall
of 1863, it says: "The surprise of the
river passage hear Bragg's center by
Smith, and tho maneuvering by which
the Confederate lines were forced by
Grant a month later at the battle of
Chattanooga, are, as tactical achieve
ments, far fitter to be clashed with the
best feats Of Napoleon. and Wellington
than any advantage wSn by a European
general since the days or those giants
of war." The correspondence of Gen
Sherman, says the Edinburgh, "will
certainly bear comparison with any
thing of its class which modern mili
tary literature ean produce."

GBR. McClellan is at present in Eome.
"The General," says the Roman corres
pondent, of the Times, "has certainly no ex
pectation of a speedy termination of the
war which is now devastating his unhappy
country."
And were the war conducted upon
his plans, he certainly need have none.
But the news from Richmond shows
that Uncle Sam's Grant bat been real
ising some very different "expecta
tions" than those entertained by thecorps
hero of many defeats.

The general surface of the country is
undulating, similar to the rolling prai

Wisconsin with greater diversity,
beauty, and picturesqueness imparted
to the scenery by rippling lakes, spark

which rapid currents wend their tortur

The Upper Mississippi Val-
ley extends from the mouth of the Min
nesota to the Crow Wing River. The
left bank presents a continuous level of
from ten to twenty feet in width, with
a succession of terraces. The Rum,
Elk, and Platte, are the principal trib
utaries on this side. These rivers, hav
ing their sources in the lakes of the
great summit and crossing broad belts
of pine at their upper extremities, flow
through a low, undulating plain of tam
arac swamps, meadows,, and oak open
to their confluence with the Mis
sissippi.
The western shore is higher and well
wooded The chief streams flowing
into the Mississippi from this side arc
the Crow, Sauk, and Long Prairie riv
ers. Ti Crow, wiih its forks, extend
through a section of country stretching
east and west a length of seventy-five
miles, and a breadth at its widest ex
pansion, of forty miles. Dense forests,
rich prairies, and beautiful lakes, ren
der the valley ot this stream one of tho
most inviting districts of the State.
The Sauk Valley, though of less ex
tent than the Crow, equals it in profu
sion of timber, fertility of soil, and the
beauty of its lakes.
Long Prairie River drains the inter
val between the Sauk Valley and Crow
Wing. This portion of the State is
conspicuous for the beauty of it* lakes,
groves, and intervening prairies.
