The demonstration last night—departmental and popular—in honor of the capture of Rich- mond was the most impressive by far that ever occurred in Washington. The city after night- fall was 4 blaze of illumination, and the gleam of fireworks, the crash of inspiriting music, and the declamations of popular speakers, added to the inspiriting effect. The War Department building was grandly resplendent, as was appropriate. All of its four sides from the basement to the bull’s eyes of the attics were brilliant with light, while powerful colored lights in the court served to bring the building and its rich drapery of flags into superb relief. Great taste had been dis- played here in the arrangement of the decora- tions, consisting ef the national ensign dis- played in flowing wealth of drapery from the balconies and wound spirally up the portico columns, while the various corps ensigns ran from each side to & culminating point at the central flagstaff over the building. Inthe cen- ter was the appropriate motto, The Union: it must and shall be preserved, beneath which was an eagle bearing a scroll inscribed with the signifi- cant word “Richmond.” Three fine bands—the 9th and 2ith Veteran Reserves and the Finley Hospital band—were in attendance and furnished admirable music tor the immense throng that filled the streets through the evening in troptof the War De- artipent. Winder’s building and the other War Department buildings opposite were also brilliantly illuminated. The Navy Department made a fire dis- lay. and was richly decorated with the na- nal insignia, attracting much attention. A prominent feature here was a large-sized model of a full rigged man-of-war, which occupied a position in one of the windows in the second story of tke building, immediately over the main entrance. The residence of Secretary Welles was also handsomely decorated. ‘he White Houge, brilliantly lit up, and with its surroundings of foliage, affording a pleasing contrast, madea fitting central feature of the grand display in this quadrangle of public buildings. The State Department attracted thousands, not only by its brilliancy and tasteful decora- tions, but by the felicity of its mottoes, Over the eastern portico were the words, “Peace and good will to all nations, but no entangling alliances, and no foreign intervention.” Over the northern portico were the words, ‘At home Union is order, and order is peace. Abroad Union is strength, and strength 1s peace.” » The Treasury Department was illuminated throughout, and the 110 windows fronting on the ayenueradiating with twelve lights each, were dazzling in theextreme. Over the east- ern portico of the building was a transparency representing a ten dolJar compound interest Treasury note, over which were the words, “U.S. Greenbacks and U.S. Grant—Grant gives the Greenbacks a Metallic Ring.” The residence of Secretary Stanton, on K street, atwracted greatattention by the magnifi- cence of the display. The briliiant lights in the windows and halls emblazoned the silken folds of the national colors in every variety of tasteful decoration; while evergreens and fioral adornments gracefally disposed, added to the exceeding attractiveness of the display. Thousands of spectators were drawn to this point by the beauty of the scene. The bands of Campbell, Mt. Pleasant, Car- ver and Emory Hospitals consolidated, ac- companied by a@ large concourse of people, serenaded the Secretary of War about 11 o’clock, and ether bands paid him the same gompliment in the course of the evening. Secretary Seward’s residence on 15 street, presented a beautiful appenranee. the Ameri- can flag being most tastefully displayed at the windows and doors. In front of the house ‘were a number ot globular Chinese lanterns, adding to the brilliancy of the effect. whe headauarters of General Halleck was ie 2 teetafnliv decora- brilliantly tiluminatea auu w~---, ted with flags, as was aleo General Rucker’s headquarters. The large row ot brick buildings on 14th street, near New York avenue. occupied by General Augur as his headquarters, Colonel Ludington, Chief (Quartermaster of the De- artment of Washington, and Colonel Ingra- am, Provost Marshal of the defenses north of the Potomac, was illuminated with nearly three hundred lights, which lighted up that portion of the street magnificently. A large Niag floated from the top of the building, and the Mout Pleasant Hospital bandystationed on the pavement, discoursed excellent music. Capt. D. G. Thomas’ office, (headquarters of the clothing depot,) on H street, near 17th, at- tracted much attention, the decorations of the building being admirably arranged. Every window was Sn throughout, and the out- side of the building was arched with ever- greens. Over the entrance of the building was @ number of red, white and blue lamps, and several transparencies ‘were displayed with the following mottoes :—‘+ Victory,” ‘*Consti- tution,” «*Union,” ‘ Liberty.” All of the corps colors, and the cavalry and artillery flags were also displayed. On 14th street, the offices of the New York Herald, Times and Tribune and Philadelphia Inguirer were brilliantly lighted up, the Her- ald rooms atracting particular attention by its profusional display of flags and Chinese lan- 8. terns. All of the hospitals within the limits of the city were lighted up and trimmed with fiags, and the inmates were joyous with the display. The Seldiers’ Reading Room, on 5th street, corner of EF, was lighted up with 70 lights, and festooned with fiags in a neat and tasteful manner. The quarters of the steam fire brigade, on Pennsylvania avenue, were finely lighted, and the Government buildings near by were in keeping with these quarters. The banking house of Jay. Cooke and & Co., attracted much attention, every pane ot glass being brilliantly lighted, and a row ef Chinese Janterns hanging across the front. Over the door was the following: The bravery of the Army, The valor of the Navy, sustained by our 5.20 Treasury upon the faith 7.30 And substance of a _ patriot people. The banking house of Riggs & Uo, was also finely illaminated. The Capitol attracted a large crowd of spec- tators, every window being brilliantly lighted, as well as the various windows of the dome, in the tholus of which there was a brilliant light, which could have been seen a long dis- tance. There was also displayed on the dome & large flag, and on the pediment over the library was a large transparency, bearing the inscription, “This is the Lord’s doing; it is maryelious in our eyes. __ ‘rhe National Conservatory, ander the super- intency of Mr. Smith, near the Capitol, pre- sented a fine appearance, the interior of the green houses being thickly studded with lights, and shining throngh the glass as seen from the avenue, it had & most beautiful appearance.

The Old Capitol and Carroll Prisons, both of which have been used for prisoners of war, were brilliantly lighted and finely decorated by Superintendant Wood, who was determined that while those buildings had played so im- portant @ part that they should take part in the re. Hocines. Dr. Nichols, we noticed, had the Ineane Asy- Jum brilliantly lighted up, and as seen from the city, it presented a most magnificent appear- ance. One of the most attractive points was Ver- Mont avenue and 15th, where Hing and Bur- ehells’ store were lighted up from top to bot- tom, with fi and stramers fiving im the rose abundanee, and fires of genuine South ina tar burning on the curb, while a large bon- fire was Lyd going in the street.

Adams’ Express Office was 4& beautiful sight, the flag- staff bearing a light. The City Hall was brilliantly illuminated, making a fine display. The office of Captain E.M. Camp, at the Soldiers’ Rest, and the Retreat were illumi- nated, as well as Rainey’s and Duffey and O’Meara’s restaurants near by. Inthe Seyenth Ward Messrs. H. Lee, John R. Elvane, Dr. Holmead, Mesers. Gregory, Bond, W. Thompson, Holmes, Kendall, P. M. Pearson, Hendley, Gray, Cammack, Uapt. Ned Allen, and many others, made a brilliant dis- play. ; On the Capitol Mill the residences of Col- Freneh, Commissioner of Public Buildings, in one window of which was “The American Union,” attracted much attention. Mr. Wal- ling near by made a fine display. Mr. Robert Beale, Mr. Lathrop, naval store keeper, nd Mr. Rothschild showed their patriotism, and the residence of John Hitz, corner of Penn- sylvania avenue and 6th street east, shone beautifully. The residence of R. J. Meigs, the Clerk of our court, at the corner of M. J. avenue and © street south, presented a most magnificent appearance each pane of glass having a lighted candle crowned by a mini- ture flag bearing the name of some prominent hero. Mr.-Wm. Forsyth, our Uity urveyor, ‘was not content in illuminating his residence, between 23d and 2ith, but also lighted up his stables and out-buildings, and consequently rendered the place very attractive. The cloth. ne store house, corner of 17th street and Penn- sylvania Aayenue, was most beautitully lighted “tn ‘he Wallach School House was a attraction fer the eastern section, it being thors oughly lighted up, &@number of Chinese lan- terns being hung in front. The scholars gathered at early candle light with their pa- rents and friends, and for some hours patriotic songs were sung. The citizens of shtwood, near Fort Ste- vens, had quite a gala time last evening in celebrating the recent glorious victories of our Seminary Hospi' brilliantly Ce taeen iene ts some appearance, attrac pw that locality. The Sestom- Ht ress, near treet, was Ramented with saional flags displayed uj the front, while the windows were illuminated invgnehout with candles and all the gaslighis % the building. The Bridge street front of the Yalon antly illuminated. ‘ae es Vigilant Fire any made quite & a mdoems display from their engine- house on igh street, which was iuminated with lan- terns from the oR, ef the bell tower and with candles in all the windows of the building. The police illuminated their station -. and, like the firemen, displayed the national povusr, Therererling of Mr. S, Hein, on ist street, was jantly illwmin: momely: a with eve: basso} rere lows of the hall opposite Forrest brilliantly iltaminated, and Drew's Ualcoree taurant building also. The Meeting at the Patent Office, At an early hour last evening the population commenced to assemble in front of the Patent Office, attracted by the preparations for the celebration of our recent victories. In addi- tion to the brilliant illumination of all the win- dows of the Post Office and Patent Office, gas pipes were put up along the southern portico of the latter building forming in Jarge charac- ters the word “Union.” Arrangements were also made on one side of the portico for the speakers, by erecting asortof camp meeting desk and placing a low platform apon the granite slabs so as to elevate the orators above she surrounding crowd, which flocked ap the steps and obstructed all egress. The scene att o'clock was magnificent. The whole space between the two departments was filled with ladies and gentlemen, crowded to- gether as closely as they conld stand, while men and boys of all colors and conditions perched on the steps and clung to the cornices and railing of the portico. A score of build- ings in the vicinity lighted up the scene with their illuminated windows, rockets and other fireworks flashed over the heads of the sway- ing throng, and gaily decorated carriages moy- ing toand fro wove &@ fantastic fringe ef many colors around the vast assemblage. Far ue F street the Treasury Department glowed lixe an immense furnace, and the moon, as if en- vious of the brilliancy, now and then streamed down throngh the rifts in the clouds, beauti- fully lighting up the dark masses piled against the horizon. Finally, after several national airs performed by the excellent band of Harewood Hospital, Judge Usher called the meeting to order, and in a few appropriate remarks, introduced Judge Cartter, who, when the cheering had subsided, addressed the assemblage in an elo- quent speech, frequently interrupted by en- thusiastic applause. Lack of space unforta- nately prevents our giving more than the fol- lowing outline of his admirable address: « Fellow-citizens, that {cheering} is the way I teel, like expressing the congratulations of the evening. he period of rejoicing is not the period of reasoning. I can laugh with you to- night. 1 can sing hallelajahs with you to- night. I can pardon all my enemies to-night —not quite all the enemies ef the country though. (Oheers.}] I have a mental reserva- tion on that subject; but I feel totally averse to entering upon any line of logic or to follow any path of reasoning to interest this audience, You will have to excuse me with the simple exclamations of congratulation for this great deliverance of our great nation. We hav~ passed the Red Sea of its bloed, and now the promised land is in view. (Cheeis.) the night of our trial is dissipated in the twilignt of morning. and the full nojnday sanof Amer- ican liberty is @gein treAding its pathway of glory; and this is abeut all there is to be said upon the subject.” [Cheers.) «There are very many lessons taught in the bitter experiences of the last four years—years into which are crowded the sufferings of a brave people—and, thank God, the agonies of thedamned. We have learned during these four years that we are a favored peopie—the richest, most powerful, irresistible upon God’s beautiful earth. [Cheers.} e have been transiated from the cradle during that riod, and been born into perfect proportions. @ have learned the strength 18 in us, the strength inherent in us, tho we did not know it. Treason at home, heredi' hatred abroad, has tanght us this lesson. ‘@ Rave. learned how Judases have grown from the favored of the nation; how the sons of the na- tion, taught at the public expense, fed on pub- lic rations, could betray the hand that fed them. We have learned in the experiences of the last four years that we hays a ational military institution to raise up and educate traitors to cut the throat of the nation. e ~4 was oneof them. p68 tS flying rascal ont of Richm - (Cheers. ‘And his class is co iposed of then. trust that this Government of ours will at- tach to that institution one additional lesson, in its course of instruction, and that is the lesson of patriotism ; for I hesitate not to say that those who have been fed, clothed, and taught at the public expense, ought to streteh the first rope.” {Great cheering.} « We have learned another lesson, that while multitudes of the nation’s sons are dying upon the battle- field, some go quietly to Wall street, in New York, and buy and sell the nation’s life, asthe Jews of old did the garments of Christ. It may be said of that class of persons, as of many te modern New York, that they have not n naturalized to the country, and Rave no homes anywhere; and that ie the best apology i can offer for them. (Oheers and jaughter. »* We have learned another lesson. This great nation, without Herre f leaders, without ar- mies, robbed by political thieves, without skill in the battle fleld, extemporized the largest, greatest army that the earth has ever seen— [cheers]—and that it has, by virtue ofits native resources alone, overthrown the largest rebel- lion that ever was assembled upon the earth; and that lesson is & better lesson than if it had been done by @ Napoleon oran Alexander. These battles have been won not by the great powers I referred to—not by the genius of a single man. If they had, thatman would have taken your liberties into his hands, and left you to follow lke spaniels. It is-this nation’s muscle that has fought the battle. [Cheers.] Senator Williams, of Oregon, was the next speaker, and atter a brief and eloquent ad- dress was followed by Vice President Johnson. He saw, when we examined onr nation and the genius of our Government, that it was based, in its Constitution and inits laws, on the eternal and ever- existing principles offree- dom. It was opposed to all monopolies; but one monopoly set itself in opposition to the fundamental spirit of our Government, and it ‘was time to put it down. Slavery was a great monopoly; had set itself to control the Government—aye, to set it at defiance. The issue was made between the two. It waged war upon the Government, raised armies and navies to wrest the power trom the hands of the Government chosen b; the people. The Government has trium hed. The principles underlying were saved; the monopoly was crushed, and thence the reason for rejoicing. Complaints had been made. It was charged by some that the Government, in the struggle, had done things which seemed to be unconsti- tational, but it was with President Lincoln as with the Roman of old before the factious tribune, and with him the President might answer, when asked to swear if he had not violated the law: “I swear I have saved the Republic, and in saving the Republic, 1 have saved the Constitution and the law.’? The query n&turally arises now, who has been engaged in this opposition bloody to the Government? The answer is, the man you have fed, clothed, educated, whose sole repu- tation and early honors ‘were won under your colors; him we find with the sword given him by the Government and the country to défend them; him we find plunging it into his mether’s bosom. [Voices from the crowd—«! him, hang him!”’) You say “hang him.” I know men in this country are hung if they murder one man; but what shall be done to him who ties omar Saas In Solon’s code no law owas writ! against parricide. The Athenian treated it as a crime none could beso base astocommit. Mr. Davis sought to kill his mother. [Volces— « H: him, 4 him.”] Yes, Isay hang him twenty fimes. Mr. Johnson then dwelt on the necessity of & proper punishment of the leaders and cow- Arie nateators who induced or forced the i of the South to the strife they feared to share. m should be put in 1s Bro r light a the greatest of crimes, and, while mag~ naniffiity and mercy was with one hand dealt to the deluded masses, he believed signal and Memorable punishment should be dealt th crafty instigators and bloody leaders.

Having shown how clearly the had es- tablished the fact that in the peg) ot afree cou at dwells strength nak Steere centralized absolutism, Mr. Johnson remarked that, when surrounded by rebel ets at Nashyille, he asked an cid co! ‘kson, What would the ereneen aeela he now be made to bear that ne old jan replied, “By G—d, he would out,” and added Mr. it was no ine Seas aeeooe the old part, for I. dent and Oso met adie tue da ary of sti addresses ‘ates coe ities eats leud for the the we Army and the Navy. thousand refugees have 1g prevails among them, and active prepa-
