The White House, Capitol, War Department and bureaux, Navy Department, State Depart- ment, Treasury Department, General Post Office, Patent Office, and indeed all the pub- lic buildings will be illuminated in conjunc- tion with the general illumination on the part of the city, and the effect altogether must be exceedingly brilliant.

THE RECONSTRUCTION MOVEMENT | IN VIRGINIA. ——— THE REBEL LEGISLATURE CALLED TO MEET IN RICHMOND. ae We are indebted to Capt Talbot, of the mail boat City Point, for acopy of the Richmond Whig of yesterday, from which we take the following of interest : (het the Richmond Whig of April 12th.} m address “to the Reople of Virginia,” earnestly requesting the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, members of the Legislature, and various prominent citizens of Virginia, to as- semble in Richmond on the 25th inst.. is pub- lished in to-day’s paper. The signatures to this call will secure for it not only the respect- ful consideration of the persons addressed, but, in the present attitude of affairs, will induce many of them to respond with alacrity to the summons. It is understood that this invitation has been | put forth in pursuance of the pian of proceed- | ing assented to by President Lincoin. Atall | events, it will be bailed by the great body of ; the people of Virginia as the first step towards | the reinstatement of the “Old Dominion” in | the Union. Itis probable that some of the members of the Legislature may decline to come. lneyery | such case, the people of the county or senato- | rial district should select some influential and | intelligent citizen who 1s willing to take part | in this business, and commission him, as far | &s they can, to represent them at the confer- ence. The views and purposes of the mem- bers of the Legislature should be ascertained at once. Every one can foresee difficulties in the way of formal action in the beginning. Several complex questions are to be metat the threshold but «where there’s a will there's 2 way,” and | whatever the difficulties presented the import- | Snt business must be undertaken. The tcllowing is the address referred to by the Whig: To the People of Virginia. The undersigned, members of the Legislature of the State of Virginia, in connection witha number of the citizens of the State, whese names are attached to this paper, in view of the evacuation of the city of Richmond by the Confederate Government, and its occupation by the military authorities of the United States, the surrender of the Army of Nortnern Vir- ginia, and the suspension of the jurisdiction of the civil power of the State, are of the opinion that an immediate meeting of the General As- sembly of the State is called for by the exigen- cies of the situation. The consent of the military authorities of the United States to the session of the Legislature in Richmond im connection with the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, to their free delib- eration upon public atlairs, and to the ingress and departure of all its members under safe conducts, has been obtained. The Uniied States authorities will afford transportation from any point under their con- trol to any of the persons before mentioned. The matters to be submitted to the Legisla- ture are the restoration of peace to the State of Virginia, and the sdjustment of questions in- volving life, liberty and property, that have arisen in the State as a consequence of the | war. 1 We, therefore, earnestly request the Govern- | or, Lieutenant Governor and members of the | Legislature to repair to this city by the 23th LS (instant) ve understand that full protection to per- “sons and property wilk be afforded in the State, | and we recommend to peaceful citizens to ri main at their homes and pursue their usu:l a@vocations, with confidence that they will not te interrupted. i. We earnestly solicit the attendance in Rich- mond, on or before the 25th of April (instant. of the following persons, citizens of Virginia, to confer with us asto the best means of re- storing peace to the State of Virginia.

Prompt action is essen- tial—“delay is dangerous.” Should the State Legislatures refuse or unreasonably delay their action, the people will themselves take the mat- ter in hand, and demand that their wishes shall be respected.” We clip the following from the news col- umns of the Whig: | From Orry Pornt.—We were informed last night that a jarge crowd assembled at City Point yesterday forenoon, in expectation of | the arrival of Gen. Lee, on his way to Rich- | mond. Our opinion is that when Gen. Lee comes this way he will take the first train for Richmond at Petersburg. THE REPORT concerning the health of Mrs. General Robert E. Lee, extensively circulated esterday, is, we learn, entirely unfounded. hire. Lee is in as good health as she has been for twelve months past, and the stories of her serious indisposition had their origin in the brain of idle gossips. We derive the informa- tion from a source entirely reliable. Tue Baiis.—The bells of the city—the State | bell and the station bouse bells-—again strike | the hour in conformity to an erder trom the Military Governorot Richmond. Thestriking of the hour is a great convenience. | Tue THOROUGHFARES.—The work of open- | ing up foot and wagon ways through the ruins | goes on very actively, and the burnt district will soon be open to travel again. GENERAL ORDER No. 4.—We would call | attention to General’ Order No. 4, issued by Major General Godfred Weitzel, and published by us this morning. It extends protection to all churches unless the same shall be per- verted to purposes of treason—a thing which ‘we consider most unlikely tooccur. In those churches where the service has been changed soas to include a prayer for the so-called | President of the Confederate States, it will be required that the service shall be re- | stored to its original form, embracing the | prayer for the President of the United States. | There certainly are none in this city who will not willingiy acquiesce in this order. It iseverywhere the part of the pulpit to recog- nize the government de facto, not to erect itself | in opposition to the powers that be. | Rooney Lez —We learned yesterday, upon what we consider good authority, that Gen. Wm. H. F. Lee has not oeen killed, as reported. His family here learn that he is unhurt. THE BRIDGES across the James are to be re- built immediately. as soon as the lumber can be had. A pontoon bridge subserves all pur- | poses for the present. THE Mayor's FUNCTIONS.—We are grati- fied to learn that the Mayor ot the city has | been authorized to resume the functions of his Office, so far as it relates to the commitment of | persons to the Almshouse, which is supplied by the Federal Gevernment. Mayor Mayo is one of the olcest and most respected citizens of the place, and we are satisfied that if any trust is reposed in him, either as Mayor or citizen, it | will be religiously and judiciously fulfilled. | Busingss.—Already business begins to look | up m Richmond. agons and drays crowd the streets, and steamers and other crafts swarm in the river and dock. A few weeks more and we shall again look upon the Rich- mond of former times. Tue TREDEGAR WORKS.—These extensive works remain intact since the evacuation. They were set on fire by order of the Confed- erate Government, but the flames were put out by the workmen who remained as rapidly as it was kindled. Arotnp RichHMonp.—The three lines of de- fences encircling Richmond have been lett as | Perfect as theday they werepatup. Nota traverse was broken. It is estimated that three hundred and fifty pieces—a great many of them spiked—fell into our hands. HorTz~ AccomMopation.—Riehmond will want ail the hotel accommodation that can possibly be made available, and for that reason we would suggest that the Richmund House, &s well as the Ballard, Spotswood and other hotel edifices, should be given up exclusively to the accommodation cf the migratory public. The Richmond House, we believe, is occupied as one of the headquarters of the military authorities. A City RAILRoap.—We are glad t>) know that some of our citizen capitalists, assisted by Northern enterprise and capital, have adopted our suggestion in regard to a city railroad, and | are moving im the matter of laying down at once a track on Main and Broad streets. MANCHESTER—Colonel Seymour Hall is Provost Marshal of Manchester, and order reigns in Warsaw once more. The citizens are going about, attending to their business as usual. THE CANAL.—We understand that the canal will be open in a few days, and that ipavel and transportation will again be resumed. THE RAILROAD is open to Petersburg, and trains are running through. The road was not greatly damaged. GONZAGA HALL—One of the grandest . FAIRS, which was ever held inthis city, will open next MONDAY, in this hall, which was erected for this fair, on G street, between 9th and l0th sts, for the benefit of the beautiful Bt.

Talbot, from City Point, arrived here this morning, bringing up 8 large mail and a number of ref- ugees from Richmond. General Mott, of the 5th corps, who is se- verely wounded in the right leg, below the knee, came up on the City Point as a pas- senger. . General Grant arrived at City Point yester- day from the front. he railroad from Richmond to Petersburg having been repaired, there is now a continu- ous line from City Point to that city, which is being used for the transportation of stores. No passes, however, are issued at City Point to parties desiring to visit Richmond. Considerable interest is manifested at City Point im anticipation of the arrival there of General Robert E Lee, but it is believed that he we go direct from Petersburg to Rich- mond. All of our most serious wounded have been shipped from City Point to Annapolis and Washington, and the number in hospital there has been greatly reduced. BEORETARY SEWARD. The side of Mr. Seward’s face, injured by his fall, has been placed in wires instead of ban. dages, since which time the swelling has be- come reduced, and now he does not suffer so much pain. Heis unable to leave his bed as yet, and is generally more easy in day time than during the night. As talkingis very pain- ful to him, owing to the injury of his jaw, he uses a slate and pencil to communicate with others, MOSBY DISPOSED TO FIGHT. Col. Gambe!l, commanding the Union forces at Fairfax Station, has received a message from Mosby, in which the rebel chief states that he does not carea d—n about the surren- der of Lee, and that he is determined to fight as Jong as he has a man left. He may fight nis way to the gallows. RESIGN. Surgeon W. O. Baldwin, of the Board of Enrollment ot the District of Columbia, has resigned, for the purpose of going into private practice in this city. WOUN DED TO BE SENT TO ANNAPOLIS. A number of our ,wouned now at City Point will be shipped to Annapolis, where they will be placed in hospital. w7 The N. Y. Evening Post, in a leading editorial, calls upon the Attorney General to draw up an indictment for treason against J. D. Campbell, now at Richmond, and ex-Judge of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Post says: of war, under obligations not to serve against the government of the United States until reg- ularly exchanged. So long as they remain quietly at their homes and obey the laws, they will net be harmed. and the same conditions can be safely applied to other rebel armies. But jor the individuals who forced southern citizens to fightagaint their country, another rule is to be adopted— if they intend to remain in this country they must stand their trial for treason, or if conscious of guilt, they will not do that, let them goto Europeor elsewhere ous of the United States. No one will pursue em.” SALES OF 7-30’s.—The sales of 7-30’s by Jay Cooke & Co.,2mounted to $3,151,550 yesteraay. Additional from Grant's Army, Baritone DETAILS OF LEE’S SURRENDER. ae Sie The Rebel ret Glad to Give Up—Lee’s Armi_‘Ainofint’ of “Material ‘Surrender. ed—Capture of Commissioner Ould—Our Army Moving Around Johnston—Milita- ry Operations Suspended in Virginia. [From Associated Press.} Correspondence from the army of the Poto- mac says that very little fighting took place on the 7th instant at Farmville. There was tome skirmishing between the enemy’s rear guard and the 2d corps with the second divi- siou of cavalry, the result being unimportant, Lee had intended to fall back to Danville, but being cut off by our forces getting to Burkes- ville first, he changed his course and started toward Lynchburg. Partof his force passed through Farmville on the morning of the 7th. After crossing the Appomattox the bridges were burned, and before our troops could get over the enemy had taken a position 2 mile from the river, where they erected works and Made astand in orderto allow their wagon train to get out of the way. On this side the river, just outside the town, & division of cavalry had taken up a position, determined to annoy our advance while recon- structing the bridge. The 2d division, under General Crook, attacked them vigorously, driving them back some distance. But they had a force dismounted, lying in ambush, which poured a severe fire into our men as they advanced to the secend attack, and they were compelled to fall back on their supports. The rebels coon after departed from this place, not being disposed to await another charge. The loss on both sides was very light. The 2d corps soon after crossed, and pushing on after the enemy drove them behind the new- ly built breastworks. Gen. Smyth’s brigade was then threwn forward, and forming a skirmish line, charged the position. A heavy force was found to be here, and the attack was repulsed. Gen. Smyth was severely, and it is believed mortally wounded, in leading the charge. This was 4 sad loss to the command, and every man in it feels the loss as a personal one. A more gallant soldier never served his s@ntitry, and he not only ranked high for bravery on the field, but asa gentleman and a friend be was loved by all who knew him. The loss in the 2d corps during the day will be some 150, mostly in Smyth’s brigade. In the morning, before the enemy crossed tne river, twelve guns were taken from them, and afterwards cix more, making eighteen during the day, and about 200 prisoners. The number of prisoners taken on the 6th is put down at7,700, almost entirely of Kershaw’s and Custis Lee's divisions. The correspondent, after giving farther de- tails of events, but which have mainly been Published through official sources, says the field where the surrender took place was al- most covered with the enemy’s dead, all of them nearly being shot in the head and upper part of the body. The position was a very fa- vorable one for them, but our artillery had good range on an adjoining hill, and our men charged up the ascent with such impetuosity that some were bayonetted before they left their light breastworks. The road for miles was strewn with broken down wagons, caissons, and baggage of all kinds, presenting & scene seldom witnessed on tbe part of Lee’s army. Car loss on the 6th willsum up abont 1,000 in killed and wounded, the 6th corps sutlering heaviest. _ Another letter, dated on the evening of the Sth, says stragglers are feund scattered all along the line of march, and as the troops pass they come in and surrender themselves, ex- pressing their determination to fight no longer, as they consider the rebellion as good as over. Four guns were brought in this morning, be- sides along trein of ambulances, many con- taining wounded, who were placed in hospital and cared for. General Gordon sent four sur- gecns through the line this afternoon, asking that they be allowed to minister to the wants of those left behind on theroad, but as wehave plenty of such help they will be returned to their army in the morning. Gen’‘l Hays was relieved from the command Of the 2d division of the 2d corps yesterday, for tardiness in moving bis command in cbedience to orders. Another letter, dated the 9th of April, says: «Notwithstanding the correspondence bet ween Generals Grant and Lee yesterday, which led all to expect a formal surrender morning, the latter exerted all his energies Seanespe the net laid forhim.

This was caused by an agreement made by General Ord, consenting to a cessation of firing, so as to communicate with Gen’l Grant and was done, it is said, without authority. General .SWeridan’s Adjutant General was allowed to come through the rebel colamn to communicate with General Meade, who stated that he knew of no such arrangement, apd that he was about to move forward in ac- cordance with his previous intentions. Gen’) Lee, however, sent another message, desiring to have an interview with General Grant, to arrange the terms of surrender, and General Meade was thus obliged to grant a two bours armistice in order tocommunicate with Gen’! Grant, who had moved areund the left during the night. The two hours expired without any result, and the second corps, under General Hum- phreys, had commenced to advance, wher word came to halt, General Grant consenting tosee General Lee, and discuss the matter. Abont half-past four o’clock, Lieut. Col. Whit- tier, of General Wright’s staff, came in and re- ported the terms arranged and the papers signed, when the greatest excitement prevailed thonghout our lines, cheer upon cheer rending e air. Soon after, General Meade and staff, with other officers, rode along the lines of the second and sixth corps, and they were greeted with the most enthusiastic shoats, the men throw- ing their hats in the air and fairly dancing with joy. Nosuch scene has ever before been witnessed in this army; and the thanks of the whole country are due to the brave men and their heroic commanders, who have achieved euch a great and glorious victory. Itis understood that the men of Lee's army are to be paroled and allowed to return to their homes. They gave up everything im their bands; but last night they destroyed large amounts of property, in the shape of wagons, gun carriages, baggage, papers, etc. The num- ber of Lee’s forces is put down atabout twenty thousand men. Very few guns are in their possession, as they have abandoned nearly all they did rot lose in action.

NNT DT Si oe oe eae : ae ee ee DR. ‘Fhe Tank and file of Lee’s army are said to be well satisfied to give up tne struggle, be- lieving that they have no hope of success, but if General Lee had refused to surrender they would still have stuck te him. The officers mainly are surly and discontented, but this feeling will soon wear off when they find how liberally our people are disposed to treat them. Another letter from the Army of the Po- tomac, dated April 12th, says the final arrange- ments for the surrender of Lee’s army were completed yesterday, and to-day they are at liberty to proceed to their homes or elsewhere, as they chose. _ The terms granted were certainly of a very liberal character. A*large number of officers, together with thousands of the men of this army, express their dissatisfaction, not onty at the unprecedented liberality granted to the Army of Northern Virginia, but at the manner in which they are paroled and allowed to go their way without our men being permitted tc enjoy the results of their long struggle in the passage through the lines of Gen Lee and his army. But itis claimed this would have been humiliating te Gen. Lee and his officers, and that it 1s not the wish or desire of our Govern- mert or commanders to act toward them in any way that would tend to irritate their feel- ings or make their position more intolerable than it actually is. The policy pursued may have been for the best, and our soldiers will submit, as they always do, to what is jadged most wise. During Tuesday night and Monday large numbers of the rebeis as well as some officers made their escape trom the lin nd scattered through the woods, many no doubt intending to return home. Our camps, last night, were filled with them, begging something to eat, which, of course, was treely given. These men, when asked if they had been paroled, in- variably replied no, but were allowed to go where they pleased. The number Gen. Lee claimed to be able to give up was 10,000 muskets, with as as many more men from the Commissary, ( uartermas- ter, hospital and other departments, but offi- cers who haye been permitted to pass through their camp assert that not more than seven or eight thousand will be found to have beensur- rendered. The cavalry operating with Lee was also turned over, but only & small force, with broken down horses could be found, report stating that the best had been picked out and sent to Johnston. - The number of guns given up was thirty, with from three to four hundred wagons, very little ammunition and no supplies. AS an evidence of the state of their commissary when they reached Farmville, the residents tell us they had been issuing ears of corn to the men for several days previous, but thata train from Lynchburg met them there with flour and pork. Ont of some two thcusand horses turned over to us not more than two hundred were tound to be worth a single ration of forage for each. Oammiccionor (inid and Assistant Commis- sioner Hatch were captured on their way from Richmond toward Danville and brought into camp Sunday. They hada large Southern ex- press wagon filled with cigars, liquors and luxuries, and by some understanding were al- lowed to go into Lee’s lines. They returned Inst evening and are said to have gone to Rich- mond on some business connected with the ex- change question. Orders were issued last eyening tor a move- mentof the troops now here. The 2d and 6th corps are to start this morning for Burksyille Junction; the cavalry and ith corps to go toward Danville, while the 5th will remain to take possession of and bring away the property and effects of Lee's army. The trains are now running to Burksyille Junction, but the road being in 8 rather shaky condition, not much regularity is as yet obtain- able in the time table. Brigadier General Smyth died on the 9th, from the effects of the wound received on the 6th instant. His body has been embalmed and is on its way to his late home. He lived in Wilmington, Delaware, and leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss. Major General Mott, who was badly wound- ed in the engagement of the 6th, while gal- lantly leading his men in a charge on a rebel wagon train, left for his home this morning, on @ leave of absence, General Mott’s wound is just below the knee, the bal! passing through between the bones.

Kent, of New York, a clerk in the Second Au- ditor’s office of the Treasury Department, died suddenly from appoplexy. Ati2 o'clock he left the office for a few minutes, remarking as he went out that he did not feel very well, and was found a few minutes after by one of the clerks at the feot of the steps leading into the office in an unconscious state. He was imme- diately removed inside the office, a doctor sent tor and every effort made to resuscitate him, but withont avail, death ensuing in about two minutes after he was brought in. His body was immediately cared for and a telegram sent to his wife. A meeting wascalled this morning by the clerks, and resolutions adopted, to send the remains to his widow and for detraying the whole of the funeral expenses.

Mr, Editor: Your reperter has inadvertently done our town injustice in reporting -—« Mr. Tenney followed, contrasting the meeting this town in 1860, when he, for resolutions, loyalty, obtained but one yote, and that own.” I said, unlike the gentleman who ceded me; I had no complaints to make of our fellow-citizens misunderstanding and mis! resenting my loyalty. That late in Decem 1860, or any Ale January, 1861, I offered reso! tions in the Board of Common Council calli: for 8 town meeting to express our loyalty the Union. 1 was certain of one vote, and but one, my own. Several citizens united me immediately in calling 8 meeting at F‘ Hall, where the rio'ous.and disorderl: ceedings occurred which i contrasted wi! present meeting. I would now state fo! honor of my native town that one month that meeting, where coercion was boldly ade vocated by Union men in February, 1561, @ “Union ticket” was elected of the Commog Council, of whom I was one. I have always believed our town thoroughly loyal, though sometimes called in Congress “a copperhead hole; nor has any subsequent election hare shaken my faith in its loyalty.
