in 161, that the President should declare Southern ports closed to commerce, would not have been recognized by for

eign powers; as we did not then hold them. The case is, however, reversed now. By the change made, we cease to regard the rebels as belligerent, and may expect a similar action on the part of friendly foreign nations, now that the war is virtually at an end.

THE GREAT OVERTHROW. The Fall of Richmond. From the New York Independent. Scream, O eagle! "A bird in the air shall carry thy voice, and that which hath wings shall tell tjie matter." Great are thy tidings! Thine enemy is become "a pellciau of the wilderness, an owl of the desert, a sparrow alone upon tlte house-top." Therefore, O bird of good omen! perch upon our columns and scream! How shall our unsteady pen shaken

by a merry dancing pulse attempt to

write soberly to-day? The great deed that has just thrilled through the country is like the sudden stroke of a minstrel sweeping every string of the harp waking a universal resonance of joy. Only three times during the war has God touched us to the very quick; first, when, after Sumter, the cheek of the Republic crimsoned with fire; second, when, after Bull Bun, the people sat in sackcloth and ashes; and third, now, after the capture of Richmond, when the heavens are cleft by the cry of a nation's joy. s'ot for a century may the world see a parallel to the

gaeat event winch has just quivered through it! Not again for generations may the common round of human life be spanned by such heroic days! Where fore, let the living witnesses of this sublime period give thanks to God, who cast their lot in the greatest of ages aud in the noblest of lands! Walking the streets of New York on Monday last, a stranger would have thought he hail fallen upou a carnival of March hares an outbreak of school urchins a bedlam of good cheer! The multitude of hands shaken on that day was for number like a forest of leaves in the wind. lieatitiful was it to see how some faces carried their joy in laughter othes in tears. Who can ever forget the day? Pentecost fell upon Wall street till the bewildered inhabitants suddenly spake in unknown tongues singing the doxology to the tune of -Old Hundred!'' Shall we ever sec again such a mad, happy, delightful enthusiasm of a great na tion, drunken with the wine of glad news? The city of Richmond.

The citizens, although unarmed, rallied, knocked one j

weeks since, as you have already been advised, Capt- Jones Gregory with seven teen men, attacked the gang led by three brothers, MeDougall, killing elevan and wounding as many more,capturing thirtytwo horses, one mule, and all the arms of

the party. Unfortunately for the country Gregory and one of his men were killed at the commencement of the fight, and the other officer in the company fled at almost the first fire. A private named Cunningham then took command, and soon whipped the guerillas.who were strongly posted in two log buildings. Gregory was the best scout and guerilla hunter in Kentucky, and his loss is already scvcrlv felt. The rebel army look upon guerillas with hut little more favor than ourselves and a somewhat vigorous warfare has been going on between the parties alonar : the State Line. All attempts to arrest them are resisted, and two Colonels of 1 the army Faulkner and Henry havo ' already been killed w hile endeavoring to disperse ditfercut gangs of the marauders.

The Machine was hitched on to a horse power, and the way the fodder, straw, and hay, was actually 'chaw ed up, to use an expressive phrase, and that, too, with almost the celerity of lightning, was something we hvl not calculated on, and never before witnessed. We had seen it operated on by hand, and thought it couldn't be beat by any other machine ever invented ; but after s -eing it kun, we give it as our unanimous vote that Frank Hunt has srkircK ilk,' in tUts invention, and had we one thousand dollars we'd take stock immediately, if not sooner, in the Company that is row forming to manufacture these Fodder Cutters.

The Journal does not state whether the Governor made a speech on th occasion of the presentation, but presume not. or it would have been reported. The joke is a good one and is duly appreciated both by the Governor and Col. Stilwell. We understand the Gov.

"Is that the proper way to speak to a woman, an old woman at that?" "Come, come, answer us if you please," cried the soldier in a milder tone. "I mean no harm it is only my way of speaking." "Well, perhaps I ma3' forgive and perhaps not,'" said the old woman, shaking her head. "How far is 3 our camp from here?" "Whata that to vou?

I &U. W. - Solon Robinson. I desire to continue the discussion of this subject of wine. What I have to say is nU.ut the vine plant. S. SriAKT, Granby, Oswego County, X. Y., is a firm believer in the virtue and value of the 'wine plant,' but quite indignant to think that "a Mr. Kobinson, in the club, called it rhubarb, when it is the true wine plant, from whieh I can make better wine, at one third of the expense of making it from any kind of grapes. I should like to know if there is any one in our club that can say a bad word against this plant, to discourage any one from making wine from it. We bave wine three years old, which is much ahead of any grape w ine that we have ever seen i in Oswego County, and some of us are calculating to set out wine plants quite j

i.nj;ei. ana you couut nanUy sell a grape vine in our town at any price. We think that w hen it becomes fairly known, the wine will be popular and suit everylKdy. loctors here give it the preference. It certainly must be pure." Mr. Robinson continued his remarks, saying, I am the same person who called

tlie article "rhubarb," and I will now try to tell these wine plant gentlemen a few more facts. I was the first person who ever introduced 'rhubarb wine into this city, and made the fact known through this Club that a beverage could be made from that plant. It was sent to tne by a Mr. Cahoon, Kenosha, Wisconsin. He stated the enormous quantity that his mammoth seedling would produce to the acre. I think it was I'.oOO gallons. This statement being published set vari ous parties experimenting with other varieties of rhubarb, but success would never follow advertising the truth. So it was published to the world that a new discovery had been made of & plant that would make wine better and cheaper than grapes. The roots of these plants were sold at extravagant rates; the purchasers were actually swiudled. Those, who obtained their money did so byno honester process than highway robbery. The w ine plant peddlars are liars and swindlers from beginning to end. No root has ever been "sold under tho

name of wine-plant but rhubarb, popularly known and grown in almost all gardens as pie plant. It may be propa gated at an enormous profit by selling the oil' sets at two cents each, instead of twenty-five to fifty, the prices which the

j peiliilars have obtained. Aow, will the j juice of this plant make wine ? Thcanj swer is, Xo, not in the true meaning of ; the word. It has none of the properties j of the juice of the grape. That is palai table and wholesome without atn admix- ; ture. Its acid is the tartaric, the most j wholesome of all acids ever taken into ! the human stomach. The acid of the j rhubarb is the oxalic, a deadly poison, in a concentrated form, to all animal life. 1 ! When the juice is first expressed from i. ..1...1 1. . 1, ... . .

I have no objection to Mr. Stuart or 3Ir. anybodj' else growing rhubarb and making intoxicating drink of the juice mixed with sugar, but I do object to the swindle of selling these roots at a high price, under a false name, and with the knowledge and intent of cheating the purchaser.
