FURTHER DETAILS OF THE OUCU. PATIUON OF RICHMOND, Higa Sieg ai Scenes During the Confiagration—Charac- ter of the Rebel Fortifications—Jeff Davis’ Farewell_M City. = ge [Correspondence of the New York Tribene.} Upon entering the suburbs of the city, Gen- eral Weitzel sent a small detachment of the 4th Maesachusetts cavalry, under the com- mand of Major Stevens, to meet the Mayor of the city, from whom General W. received the keys ofthe public buildings. The Army of the James then marched triumphantly into the rebel capital, haying met with no opposi- tion whatever. After leaving our works in front of the rebel entrenchments, ourarmy was greeted with en- thusiastic cheers by the populace, wko have thus far behaved ina becoming manner, and haye shown us every respect. The colored population were excessively ja- bilant and danced for very joy at the sight of their sable brethren in arms, the 25th corps, who followed close upon the heels of General Ripley’s brigade of the 2ith corps, in the entree ef ihe Union forces into Richmond. About daylight onthe morning of the sur- render, our forces were formed in line of battle in front of our works confronting Richmond, and were then moved up by General Weitzel. A few stray shots were fired by the retreating rebels, injuring noone. Beyond this no oppo- sition was offered us, and our troops filed into the rebel works and up the Osborne and New- market road to the city. An inspection of the rebel works disclosed the tact of their haying left in great haste.— Many of their quarters were left without a thing being taken outof them. Pistols, revol- vers, carbines, and arms of every description were found in profusion, clothirg of every de- scription was in abundance, and in some of the officers’ qurters were found their private correspondence, diaries, &c. While stragglers were pillaging the deserted camps our army continued its march towards the city. A couple of hours more brought us into the heart of the rebel city. The sight of the burning buildings was traly sorrowful. That part of the city along the river front known as the main business part ‘was one vast sheet of flames. What with the roaring and dashing and clashing, burning and tumbling buildings, the shouts of our soldiers moving up the main streets to the Capitol, the music of Unien bands playtng the Star Spangled Banner, the shouts of welcome and the excitement of the people, was a scene of grandeur and magnificence never to be effaced from memory. The thonght of entering the city of Rich- mond, that city seemingly the objective point of a four years war, insuch a style without a struggle, after many hard-fought battles to possess it, in which thousands ef eur brave heroes have been slain, was calculated to thrill the hearts of all in the column. General Weitzel immediately established his headquarters in the State Capitol, in the hall lately occupied by the Virginia Houseof Dele- gates, and immediately instituted measures to restore order to the town, as all was & Babel of confusion. General Weitzel’s Order. The following order was issued by General Weitzel. directty after taking up his headquar- ters in the city: HEADQUARTERS DETACHMENT ARMY OP THE Jamzs, RICHMOND, Va., April 3, 1865.—Major General Godtrey Weitzel, commanding detach- ment of the Army of the James, announces the occupation of the city of Richmond by the ar- mies of the United States under command of Lieutenant General Grant. The people of Richmond assured that we come to restore to them the Dlessings of peace, Prosperity, and freedom, under the fiag of the Union. The citi- zens of Richmond are requested to remain for the present quietly within their houses, and to avoid all public assemblages or meetings in the public streets. An efficient provost guard will re-establish order and tranquility within the city. Martial law is tor the present pro- claimed. Brigadier General George F. Shep- ley, United States volunteers, is hereby ap- Ppoiee Military Governor of Richmond. ‘ientenant Colenel Frederick S. Manning, pro- vost marshal general of the Army of the James, will act as provost marshal of Richmond. Commanders of departments doing guara duty in the city will report tohim for instructions. By command of Major General Weitzel. D. D. WHEELER, A. A G. General Shepley’s Order. Brigadier Gen’l Shepley, upon being placed in command of the city, issued the following patriotic order: Heapq’rs MILITARY GOVERNOR oF RicH- monpD, Richmond, Va. April 3, 1865.—The ar- mies of the rebellion having abandoned their effort to enslave the people of Virginia, have endeavored to destroy by fire the capital which they could not longer occupy by their arms. Lieutenant Colonel Manning, Provost Mar- shal General of the Army of the James, and Provost Marshal of Kichmond, will immedi- ately send a detaehment of the provost guard to arrest, if possible, the progress of the flames. The fire department of the city of Richmond and all the citizens interested in the preserva- tion of their beautiful city, will immediately report to him for duty, and render every pos- sible assistauce in staying the progress of the conflagration. The first duties of the armies of the Union will be to save the city doomed to destruction by the armies of the rebellion. No person will leave the city of Richmond without a pass from the office of the Provost Marshal. Any citizen, soldier, or any person whatever, who shall hereafter plunder, de- stroy, or remove any public or private prop- erty of any description whatever, will be ar- Tested and summarily punished. The soldiers of the command will abstain from any offensive or insulting words or ges- tures toward the citizens. Fifth. No treasonable or offensive expres- sions, insulting to the flag, the cause, or the armies of the Union, will hereafter be al- lowed. Sixth. For an exposition of their rights, du- ties and privileges, tae citizens of Richmond are respectfally referred to the proclamation of the President of the United States in rela- uion to the existing rebellion. Seventh’ All persons having in their posses- sion or under their control any property what- ever of the so- called Confederate States, er of apy officer thereof, or the records of the ar- chives of any public officer whatever, will im- mediately report the same to Col. Manning, Proyost Marshal. In conclusion, the citizens of Richmond are assured that with the restoration of the fiag of the Union they may expect the restoration of that peace, prosperity and happiness which they enjoyed under the Union, of which that flag is the glorious symbol. G. F. SHEriey, Brig. Gen. United States Volunteere, and Mili- Governor of Richmond. The rebel rear guard, asmall body ofcavairy, retreated in the direction of Lynchburg, only a few minutes before our advance entered the town. The main body of the enemy com- menced to retreatabout 10 qclock the preceding Sunday evening. Their destination was be- lieved to have been Lynchbarg, but whether they will strike for that point when they come to learn the strait which Lee, with the main boy of his army, has been forced into is doubt- ol. Jeff Davis remained in the city till dark Sun. day night. having, however, sent his family to Onarlotte, N.C., some time during the preceding week. The inhabitants generally were not informed of the contemplated evacuation until they saw the Confederate troops passing through the town from the east. Then the trath flashed upon them that they were to be left to the mercy of the Yankees. A number of these, fearful that thetr past misdeeds would not recommend them to the clemency of the United States Government, hastily left their all to share the fate and for- tunes of the rebel army, an army so shattered that it can hardly be dignified by that name. The damage’done by the fire was very gre: The finest portions of Main street and the si below, fronting the river, have been laid waste by the devouring element. > | The Libby prison still stands, surrounded o: sll sides by @ heap of smoking and bu: ruins, Within its loathsome walls are no; fined what rebel soldiers were secured. 1 /thk ee of Richmond. » Gen.

Private and public papers and documents are scattered over the street, subject to the winds and the rapacity of the piccaninnies, who, in innumerable swarms—in danger of falling walls—were diving with their little black hands into every place that suggested a reward for their pains. The colored people were extremely enthusi- astic Over our arrival, and greeted us with the heartiest welcome in a characteristic manner, and ‘Be Lord bress the Yankees” was heard on every side. The whites thus far Raye treated us with great cordiality, and on our first entry into the city cheered us vociferously. A few of the Joud-mouthed and hasty “rebs”’ got themsel ves into trouble by a toe free use of their tongues, abd they speedily found themselves confined ‘o close quarters in a room in the building oc- cupied by the provost martial. General Weitzel has taken for his private residence the mansion of Jeff. Davis. A por- tion of his staff are quartered with him, and the remainder ina splendid dwelling a few doors below. The interior of Davis’ house presented the appearance of having been very hastily evac- nated by him. Everything is in fine order and good repair. Many of Mrs. Davis’ little nick- packs and ornaments are yet to be foundon the mantles and bureaus of her room. The cordon of works around the city 1 have &s yet had little time to examine. A glance at them, however, satisfi e that their strength has in no wise been €xiggerated. The forts Bre mostly of a massive size, and are situated in naturally impregnable positions, well mounted with guns of the heayiest calibre. The number of guns captured in the works around the city are roughly estimated at about 300. They were all spiked, but otherwise left uninjured. ~ The powder magazines in Fert Darling, and the rebel rams in the James river below, were blown up with a terrificnoise. Theshoce was distinctly felt tor miles around. All the steamers at the wharves—with the exception of the William Allison, rebel flag-of- truce steamer—were destroyed, together with a new iron-clad upon the stocks. The yard around the State Capitol is literally covered with the household utensils of the burned-out families. The Capitol itself has not been injured. The residents here firmly believe that the re- bellion has received its death blow, and are re- joicing over their release from the tyranny of Jefferson Davis. a Our soldiers have conducted themselves in a becoming manner, Much to the astonishment ofthe people, who expected that vengeance would be heaped upon them The correspondent of the Herald writes: The works in front of Richmond which were occupied by the rebels, and wholly evacuated previous to our occupancy of the city to-day under General Weitzel, consist of three strong lines, wholly enveloping Rich- mond. The outer ones are confinuous lines, the inner one consisting of a series of strong Tredoubts and bastion forts. All these works mount upwards of three hundred heavy guns, all of which we have taken, and would, when properly garrisoned, form an almost impreg- nable series of defenses. As I rode along these lines they seemed, with the exception of the outer one, to have been most indifferently gar- risoned, and but for the facility with which they could be reinforced at any time by bring- ing troops up the Petersburg road and cross- ing them on pontoons, the lines could have been carried by assault. The route which I pursued on entering the Tebel capital was that by the Osborn and Rich- mond pike, which leads in a nearly north and south direction, and quite parallel tothe James river. After passing our picket line the first rebel work encountered was Fort Field, form- ing a part of the exterior line of rebel defence. This work, which is a very strong one in itself, is surrounded by three lines of abatis and one of torpedoes. The terpedees were carefully re- Moved by the advanced guard of Weitzel. These lines of torpedoes were marked out by small fags for safety to the rebels, which flags they neglected te remove in their hasty flight. The camps of the rebels were left entire—tents standing and furniture within. After passing this line we came upon the second line, which ‘was equally as strong as the first, excepting as to abatis and torpedoes. The third line is just outside the edge of the town, is situated on high ground, and is well adapted to satisfy the con- ditions of defence. Each of the detached works forming this line sweep a portion of the line in front of it by its fire, and rendering that front line untenable wen reached. These works like the othere, mount heavy guns, many of which were navy guns, probably captured at Norfolkin the early part ofthe war. Commu- nication between these works and those on the other side of the river was maintained by four bridges, some of which were pontoon and some pile, in addition to the three railroad bridges atand in Richmond. The evacuation of the works and the city was not generally understeod by the troops and people till yesterday (Sunday) aftornoon. The necessity of the movement, as already in- timated, was rendered imperative by General Grant's successes on the left. At half-past three o’clock yesterday afternoon Jeff Davis, while in church, received a despétch from General Lee that immediate preparations must be made to evacuate Richmond and its defences at once, as he was wholly unable to make further headway against Grant’s onset on theleft. He added that his (Lee’s) design was toendeayor tomake Danville, and there fortify for a last grand stand. An effort, how- ever, is to be made to fight at Burkesville, but itis not thought Lee will be able to succeed in carrying out this intention. & Davis left this city last night at eight o'clock by rail for Danville, his family beiag sent out five days ago. On the train he had horses and carriages embarked, in case the road was in- terrupted, in order to easily make his way by these means. In spirits he was very much depressed, and bore the appearance of anex- ceedingly haggard and care worn man, his countenance clearly betraying the doss of his’ cause. He expressed himself as being yet de- termined not to give up, but to put forth another effort to redeem his hopé¢lpss’ and sunken fortunes. I think it may be relied his cause, though it is positively know but iittle hope left.

The newspapers were kept goi! to quiet the public sense, and they have s| a accordingly. The final evacuation,so ‘ar as Davis and his government were concerned, was, however, sudden enough. Jefferson Davis was attend- ing divine service at St. Paul’s church, on ( apitol Square, (the church in which he was Teceiyed as Acommunicant some three years sgo,) when he received a telegram from Gen. Lee, stating that Petersburg and Richmond must both be given up. The startling dispatch sent the « President” bome; its purport was soon buzzed about, and @ scene of intense exeitement followed, the congregation being chiefly made up ef ladies of the best families. In spite of all signs, the notion had become a kind of religion in Rich- mond that the city would never be taken; and, in afew minutes after the news had become known, Ninth street, on the corner of which the ehurch stands, and the Capitol Square, were filled with groups of people, mostly women, hurrying in the wildest confasion in all directions te their homes. President Dayis, with his family, left for Danville in the afternoon, carrying with kim, according to rumor, about three hundred thousand dollarsin specie. The archives of the various “departments,” which had oc- cupied the imme granite building of the United States custom house in Bank street, it is be- lieved, were sent away a week previously. The bridges across the James were fited, as Well as the suburb of Manchester, on the other side of the river: but mostof the heavy guns in the fortifications are believed to Rave been left unspiked and available in the cause of the Union. There was a very general exodus on the patt of the weathiest inhabitants, and of those most fdentified with the rebellion; some of the more prominent are, however, still represented by their families; and the family of General Lee are understood to be still in their home on Olay street, near the Davis mansion. The large foreign population, and articularly the Germans, very numerons in ichmond, who have all alongbeen more than suspected of “Unionism,” were blazing out into demonstrations of delight at the change of afiaire, as were also the negroes, to whom the recent confederate policy of putting them into the fleld was anything put palatable. Abeut the fine residences in Broad, Glay, and Franklin street, there reigns a profound quiet, and there seems to be reason to doubt tnat or- der willsoon and easily be restored in Rich- mond, if wise measures are taken in dealing with the remaining population. There are excellent hotel accommodations in the city if there were anybody there fitted to keep 8 hotel, and steps should at once be taken to prepare the ‘+rebel” capital for an influx of northern visitors with the fine spring andsum- mer weather. There will be a general and le- gitimate desire to visit this now world-famous capital, and a wholesome stream of prosperity under.the old flag will, perhaps, more rapidly “cleanee the Angean stables” than any other instrumentality.
