This, however, made no ‘iference, very: od hamor, and whenever the insiders the outsiders applauded most vociferoasly. meeting was held at Hatmmack's restaurant, on the avenue, where speeches were made by Judgo Johuston, of Ohio, and others, interspersed with the “— of hee mong guests at the War Department were Major General Ricketts and his heroic wife, It will be re- memb«red that the General was one of those wounded and captured at the ®ret battle of Bull run, when his w:fe went down and nursed him and many others of our officers and men who were incarcerated. in the Libi warehouse im those first dark days of the robel- lion, Her noble sacrifices and devotion to the cause at that time are not forgotten.

It would be impossible through the medium of pen, ink and paper to convey to our readers anything like a full description of the unbounded enthusiasm that pre- vailed in this city yesterday. To do so would require more than a hundred editions of the Hsratp. Todo so it would be necessary to call into the service a hundred vigilant reporters, each with more eyes than an Argus to view the exciting scenes in every part of the city, and more arms and hands than a Briarcus ‘‘to take a note on it.” To do #0 we should have to record the sayings and doings of the crowds on every street corner; we should have had to travel in every railroad car of the several lines that run through the crowded streets of our metropolis; we should have had to remain in all the hotels from eleven o’clock yesterday morn- ning wntil Dedtime last night; we should have had to enter all the private residences of our citizons to see the joy expressed, the opinions uttered and the pray- ems offered up for the grand triumphant close of the bloody drama of the rebellion. Im short, we should have possessed the power of ubiquity, which is an attri- bute of divinity and not of humanity. There is no language capable of expressing the wild scenes of excitement and the joyful demonstrations of patriotism, from the Battery to Spuyten Duyvel creek. People fairly danced, in the excess of enthusiasm. To state that they howled woyld sound harshly and flat, but it would nevertheless be a simple truth. ‘ome are 80 organized that under extraordinary emotions words ‘will not suffice for their purpose; they must roar, or choke in the effort to express themselves through the customary channels, This scientific theory is the best we can offer in explanation of the patriotic exhaustion of lungs that occurred yesterday. Huzzaing and cheering were heard aa never they were heard be- fore. Singing also formed part of the popular mode of Jetting off the exuberant feelings of the masses. Down in Wall street a chorus, which Maretzek can never hope to rival, almost made the ancient piles of atone and brick tremble in sympathy. More than ten thousand human beings chaunted, as with one voice, the now favorite national hymn of “Glory Hallelujah,” with an accompaniment of shouting and jumping and’ stampin; beyond all Geecription.

Let me tell you a story about Grant, sir, HOW GRANT ROLLED PORK BARRELS. When I was down at City Point, once, I saw one day a number of soldiers rollin; 1s of from a vessel. There were.officers superintending the work. Some of the soldiers did not work fast enough, and a lieutenant felt himself called upon to kick one of the mea rather severely in a tender spot. Just at this moment another Officer came up. it was Genoral Grant himself, who had witnessed the occurrence. The Lieu- tenant General peeled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and set. to work helping the men roll up the barrels. When the operation was over he wiped his hands with his handkerchief, and, turning to the kicking licutenant, said:—‘Young man, remember that a good officer never abuses hia men. He degrades himself when he does so, and earns the hatred of those under him. Tell your com- manding oificor that General Grant is not ashamed to help the soldiers even in rolling up pork.’ ”” @ soldier sto} short here to receive applause for his story. Every! y agreed with the Sergeant, after this anecdote, that Grant no equal in the universe. We have taken the soldier's remarks aa.a sample of what generally took place over the . Tho news up town was received with great incredulity on its firet circulation. Thero have been so many hoaxes. played by the newsboys since the commencement of the. war, particularly up town, that the people thereabouts are sve ts tallave in ext , no matter how perfectly arranged. This was the principal cause. of the incre- dulity yesterday. But the truth was not long in forcing itself upon skeptics. It spread like wildfire, and the extras sold by wholesale. THE SHIPPING deserves to be mentioned. All the vessels. in the harbor and at the docks were decorated with flags of all nations, adding greatly to the beauty of the scene. ‘THE COLORED POPULATION loried in the news, and were even more enthusiastic than the white folks over the victorious achievements of Grant. In West Broadway the American citizens of Airi- can descent turned out in great force, and indulged in the most demonstrative style of jubilee. The fact that Weitzel’s troops, comy ly of negroes, were the first to enter hmond, afforded intense gatiafaction, and was regarded by the colored | poses as & great in- stance of the valor and their race, It cer- tainly is a heavy stroke of retribution that the megro sol- diers should be the first of the army to enter the rebel capital. We heard a gentleman state that he knew that that part of the campaign had been expressly arranged by Old Abe. THE EXCITEMENT IN THE HOTELS. Tho scenes at the principal hotels yesterday strongly reminded ono of those ich were beheld on the bom- bardment of Fort Sumter. The joy atthe Metropolitan was unbounded. Four times the usual quantity of wine was consumed at the dinner table. An impromptu meet- ing was o1 ized. Patriotic speeches were delivered. Cheers aad Inaghter Tang through the building. Tho barroom was a picture fraternity, equality and lib- erty—or, in one word, hilarity. Sougs were sung, cho- ruses ‘The singers and the crowd applauded each other. There was cheering for Old Abe, cheering for General Grant, cheering for Richmond, cheering for everything. Bulletins were posted as the despatches came in, and announced throughout house in loud cheers. ’ There were many officers of the army and navy present in the Metropolitan among the guests and visitors, and it is needless to say that they were held at apremium as company wherever they appoared. At the Astor House the scene throughout the day was also stirring. One of the most notice- able incidents was the appearance of four or five soldiers of the Invalid corps im the bar- bearing a large bouquet of flowers, room, in which the red, white and blue were most tastefully arranged. The bouquet was dressed in the centre by a handsome silk minature flag. These immediately at- tracted notice, Presently a party of musicians came in and commenced playing the “Star Spangled Banner.’’ The chorus was taken up by all present. The soldiers gathered around the mus'cians, and danced and sang. When the music wes over throe cheers were given for the Union, three for Abe Lincoln, three for General Grant, and three for General Sherman. Some got quite excited—wavert hats, flags and handkerchiefs—while the Jose demonstrative enjoyed the fun The New York Hotel was cited as some of the others. Here there are many Southern refugees, whose quiet congratulations and sincere, earnest looks betokened that sweetest of ion. There were few demon- ere were too many recollec- tions of trials, parted friends and desolated homes. Wherever you went among the hotels the seone was ono of pleasure. Whoever you spoke to gre you with congratulation. ‘Richmond is ours’? was the text for sermons which can better be imagined than told, And thus it was among all the principal hotels of the city, And the hotels of New York are noj the smallest of its wonders. THE NEWS IN WALL STREET. not so much ex. strations of triumph, fort Tremendous Excitement Among the Mo- meyed Men. As soon as the news was fully promulgated through the city by means of the numerous extras issued from the offices of the daily newspapers, a large and enthust- astic meeting, the result of spontaneous patriotic com- bustion, was called and forthwith held in Wall street, in front of the Merchants’ Exchange—the spot where mo- neyed men “most do congregate.” The excitement, or rather tumult in this great commercial centre, exceeded | anything of the kind ever witnessed since the beginning | The for flags was immense. The news of Satur. day and Sunday had the effect of inducing hundreds to make a raid on the flag stores early yesterday morning, and the consequence was that the supply on hand was very nearly exhausted before the intelligence of Rich mond’s fall arrived. Half an hour after the receipt of the news of the capture of the rebel capital there was not a single large fiag of @ national character in the whole city left unpurchased. Every housekeeper showed bis loyalty and satisfaction by exhibiting the Stars and Stripes from so portion of his establishment. The City Hall prondiy displayed her usual quota of national, State and municipal banners. The Custom House Post Office, exchanges, hotels, churches and all public butidings were crowned with the victorious ensign of the Union, Some houses bad a flag from 'y window, two or three on the roof and more over and doorways. The railway cars and horses were decorated with miniature flags. Carts, stages and wagons all over the city dixplayed the «ame symbol of loyalty, and indeed it would be more diMcult to enumer- je the D rma that did not have fags on them than those which did. Every spot where a piece of bunting could | properly be fastened was so decorated. | THE POST OFFICE was particularly well supplied in this respect, and gloried in other appropriate decorations. On the Liberty street | corner a large mail Was displayed in a prominent | position contained following inscription :— 1 POLE PERE SOOELELOLO POLE TPLETEDELD TELERE PEPE LEED: MAILS FOR RICHMOND WILL (| ON ORDERS LOS in LA FROM GENERAL GRANT.

An hour or #0 after the tesue of the extra Herat, a ae of the rebellion, Flags floated everywhere, and the crowds that thronged the streets were utterly compacted and solidified, so that when once in among them it was next to impossible to get out, or, being out, it was a labor well worthy of Hercules to force one’s way in to any con venient place among them. In front of the Bechazge buildings was an immense American flag, and ou nearly all the surrounding build ings the #ame national emblem was to be seen. From all the streets converging into Wail street a continual tide of people came rushing on, and, to add to the com. motion, ail the vehicles that are accistomed to traverse these thoroughfares were blockaded and prevented from going through—carte, wagons, carriages and other con- veyances, with one, two, three and four horses, were thus formed into a eolid barricade, and the petionce of numerous Jebus was sorely tried for an hour or two, ‘The meeting was organized on the front second floor of the ee building. After the preliminories were gone through, General Wetmore called the assemblage to order in a congratulatory sgeech, and Collector Draper was appointed president and General Wetmore secre- tary Collector Drargn was received with loud cheering, and raid (hat the assemblage betore him must not think that he was peaking for the citizens of New York, on the re. ports received of the glorious success of our army and navy.

He did so in the following ‘That the loyal le of New o ul iie'aaton othe expats 2 Patong” ce wicpadsad ast the glorious wiumph of the Union arma, Grant is crowned with glory and the Union is preserved for all time to coma ‘The resobation was adopted with clears. The General anpouncad that several eminent speokers were present, and introduced— Major General Bytuserrimip, who said that the radiant and ab oe fucos over the hows of this morning before him needed no words from him. In this triumph we have assurances of the end of the rebellion. He proposed three cheers for Generals Grant and Sherman, and fonthe brave soldiers whose bayonets are now glistening in Richmond Tho cheers were given with awill, A gon- tleman in the crowd then proposed three choom for “General Weitzel, who entered Richmond at eight o'clock this morning.’ General Wetmore proposed three cheers “for the man who had put all these generals in the field, President Lincoln."’ (Loud cheers). Senator, ANDRews, was then introduced, an spoke briefly of the effect this news would produce abroad, A foreign governments, and especially upon the peo- plo, who will rejoice that there is still a refuge for the oppressed of all nations. There was no Arter place than ‘all street for such a Sopting.

Mz. Wa. H. Evanrs next came forward. He said that. it,was now four yoars since,the loyal people of this city determined to restore the government of this country and its. dominion over every inch of, its territory. We have heard to-day that Richmond is ours. Our flag waves: ower the city once more. The name of Washington and his nati are ours once more; and we have fought for what ia ours. We have been right; but every ane has not admitted it, Some there wore.who said that New York was to be Jeff. Davia’, and not, Richmond ours. But now that we have won, let poace and brotherly } affection prevail. The hearts of these peoplo are to be conquered, and while we feel gratitudeto God for eur victories we should remember ,that we,are one people, | ‘and that the Union is to be restored. (Applause.) Mr. Evans then read the following resolution :— Resolved, That the citizens of New York, full of gratitude to the army and navy, and the government which have saved ;| the nation, do call » public meeting in Union square, at an early day to celebrate our recent victasies. This resolution was adopted, ard another was. offered : appointing & committee to made arrangements for the meeting, which will take place at an early day. The committee have power to add to their number, and aro as follows:—8. Draper, W. B. Astor, Moses Taylor, Sam- uel Sloane, M. 0. Roberts, Arthur y, Henny Clews, J. Bell, C.'P. iy L. W. Turner, M. H. Grinnell, A. T. Stewart, J. J. Phelps, R. L. Stewart, 8. Knapp, R. '. Me- Curdy, P. M. Wetmore, John A. Dix, R. M. ford, W. plied es W. WH. Fry. The resolution was unanimously Mr. L. B Currrenpen, Registrar of the Treasury, made a lengthy address, which was ot pgs 9 interrupted by loud applause. He lated the whole country on the glorious news which had come upon the wings of the telegraph, and thought that in Wall street, above all other places, it was righs that a free expression of opinion should be made. Cries of “What abouk Mexico?” Mr. Curtranpex—Wait a little. I have a few words to say about the arm: ur noble, brave, and victorious army. If we do nob now do justice to the glorious heroes that have fought our batties and won our victories— especially these last and crowning victories—we shall be entitled to be called the most ungrateful of ail nations. ‘There never were armies that advanced with more ene! and confidence of victory for the right cause than the armies of Shorman aud Grant. From the moment that they set out oa their great march from. Atlanta the sol- diers advanced with victorious banners; and whenever they wero asked where they were going, they simply an- swered, “We do not care where we are going. We only know that Sherman can go wherever he wishes.’” About this time Mr. T. P. Brouner, with a grand cho- rus, ee og the hymn, to the tune of ‘Old Hundred,” genorally known in churches as the Doxology :— Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The whole crowd joined in, and the effect was electric. The chimes of Trinity came in at the proper time with good effect, and, as the vojces of over twenty thousand singers subsided, the echoes of the chimes from the towers of Trinity came floating on the breeze, and re- peating in musical accord, Praise Him all creatures here below. ‘The enthusiasin of the increasing crowd at this time exceeds all descriptive power. Such a united feeling of repens and warm patriotism can rarely be secn any- where, Judge Dean then addressed the meeting. He said he rejoiced to kuow that the shedding of blood was soon to be stopped. Jeff Davis had proved himself to be the Greatest abolitionist of the day. (Applause.) Ho thanked God that the old flag was so soon to wave over all the ter- ritory of the nation, and concluded by urging the people to il the quota and have the war settled now and for- ever, (Cheers,) ‘The crowd then sung ‘John Brown” with much vim. Mr. Leppinatox and Psrer Coorer followed with brief speeches. The following resolution was adopted :— Resolved, That when this meeting adjourn it adjourns to meet to-night, at clght o'clock, under Washington Monument, at Union square. Hon. Mosix Hi. Opens was then introduced, and urged upon the citizens of New York to subscribe to the funds of the Sanitary and Christian commission: Gorge Francis Traty made one of his characteriatic speeches, and was followed by the Rey, Matthew Hale Smith, who wa incident whic! crowd, and introduced another speaker. attracted the attention of the whole An Irish truck- man, with a heavy load of cotton, drove down William street, and attempted to pass through the crowd in Wall | street; but his horses were seized and an effort made to The cry ‘cotton is not king ‘n Walt © crow, and this was followed The turn him back, street,” was raised by by loud calls tor a ch from the truckman, | fellow, with ready Irish wit, mounted his tru clared’ hitnself highiy delighted with of the capture of Richmond. “Fo am drafted, and now I won't have to go to the war.” The’ crowd raised a shout, made way for him, and with his load he passed triumphantly down William street, while the crowd set up a call to the occupants of August Helmont’s building to raise a flag. Very soon one of the employes of the estabilsh- ment appeared at a front window with a small staif and flag, and fastened it to the window frame, This pro- duced the mow enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and after applause had subsided, the Chairman Intro: duced Mr. ©.

T EREJOICINGS LAST NIGHT. MBETING IN UNION SQUARR, By a resolution adopted at the Wall street .cweting in the afternoon jt was agreed that the meeting should re- assomble at Union square at eight o'clock P. M.; but at that time there were very few persons in the.equare, and but, small apparent chance for having auvory large meeting. However, the matter was in the hands of Gen. Wotmore, and. that, there would be amecting was cer- tain, as the General was indefatiyable in his efforts te have all the necessary arrangements completed by the time the speakers would arrive. A large stuud had been erected immediately oppusite the Maisom Doerée, on which wore displayed portraits of Gencraks Grant and Sherman. From the Maison Dorée to a lanep-tree in the k @ rope was stretched, from which deyended six Beautiful American oe of large size, and thastaad wae decorated with vari-colored Chinese lanterns, ght o'clock arrived, and as yet no prominent speak- ad made their appearance, hor had the number of 8 been much iucressed, there belay at this time not more than afew hundred, which locks. like a mere handful in Union square. At about half-past eight Gou- eral Wetmore introduced Captain Cartwright, who sang the “ Star spangled Banner,’’ after which the meeting was pe od by the election of Generab?. M. Wetmore as chairman. On taking the chair the General made a few happy and pertinent remarks, and was followed in turn by Andrew Jackson Tia, Chaunsey Shatter, Mr. C, C. Gross, Mr. Wilcox, of Staven Island and Mr. vob Stoner. T.io speoches were highly eulugistic of the gon- erals, ofiic +ra and soldiers in the army, and congratula- tory'on the grand results lately ach eved in rebeldom. At the conclusion of Mr. Stoner's speech, a club of some dozen or inore young ladies came forward and sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” the, entire assemblage joining in chorus with marked enthusiagm, a/ter which the meet ing adjourned with loud cheers for Grant, Sherman, Sher- idan and others. THE ILLUMINATIONS. The Loyal League Club House, the Athenmum Club House, the Union Square Hote}, abd number of private houses in the vicinity of Union square were hand- somely illuminated during the progress of the meeting, and presented quite a gala appearance, with festoons ol Chinese lanterns and diminutive sperm cand) former arranged in gracetul festaous across the f the hou and.the latter in tia sconces at each ane, shed a brilliant light on the surrounding neiyhbor- ood, while at intervals the rockets !
