_ -- THE END.
LEE SURRENDERS!
Lent week we had the joyful news of the
hrs of the rebel capital, and the flight
of Jefferson 191:, with his bags of gold. Du-
ring the week we have bad news of the pur—
suit of the retreaing rebel army, and Victory
.' upon Victory—for Grant, with characteristic
pertinacity, followed up his advantage and
, gave not a moments rest to the weary rebels,
until Gen. Lee accepted the prefi‘ered terms of
surrender. The following is the official an-
nouncement ;
HDQR's. Amuse on THE UNITED STATEs,
April 9, 1865. 4:30 p. m. }
Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON, Sec. of War:
Gen. Lee surrendered the army of North-
ern Virginia this afternoon upon the terms
proposed by myself. The accompanying
additional correspondence will show the con-
ditions fully. . U. S. GRANT,
Lieut. General.
The campaign has been one of the most
brilliant in the history Of the world, and closes
in a victory the result of which will be the
establishment of Peace and Freedom to all
throughout the Nation.
While Grant was trying his hand at “push-
ing the enemy to the wall,” he sent Lee a
manly letter, stating that the result of the
last week must convince him (Lee,) of the
hopelessness of further resistance, and that
hefelt it his duty to shift the responsibility
‘ of further effusion of blood by asking the
* surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Lee asked terms, which were stated, and ac-
’ cepted. We give the last letter of Gen. G.,
with Gen. Lee’s reply :—
Gen. R. E. LEE, Commanding C. S. A. : In
accordance with the substance of my letter
, to you of the 8th inst,I propose to receive
. the surrender of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, on the following terms, to wit :-
Rolls of all the officers and men to be
made in duplicate, one copy to be given to
an officer designated by me, the other to be
‘ retained by such officers as you may des-
. ignate.
, The ofiicers to give their individual paroles
' not to take arms agiust the Government of
the United States until properly exchanged,
’ and each company or regimental commander
' sign alike parole for the men of their com-
mands.
The arms, artillery, and public property to
be parked and stacked and turned over to
ofiicers appointed by me to receive them.
This will not embrace the side-arms of the
officers, nor their private horses or baggage
'This done, each ofiicer and man will be al-
lowed to return to their homes, not to be dis-
turbed by United States authority so long as
they observe their parole and the laws in
' force where they may reside.Very respectf’y,
U. S. GRANT, Lieut.- Gen.
Hngn’s. ARMY or NOBTEERN VIRGINIA, April 9, 1865.
Lieut.-Gen. U. S. GRANT, Commanding U. S. A. .'
GENERAL : I have received your letter of
this date, containing the terms of surrender
' of the Army of Northern,Va, as proposed by
you. As they are substantially the same as
those expressed in your letter of the 8th inst.
they are accepted. I will proceed .to desig-
nate the proper Ofiicers to carry the stipulao
tings into effect. 11 d
ery respect u y your obe lent servant
’ -R. E. LEE, General. ’
Grant did not allow the negotiations to in-
terfere in the least with. army movements.
Now that the General-ln-Chief, and the
principal army of the Confederacy have been
captured, the other armies can but surrender
‘at discretion. To all intents and purposes
the Great Rebellion is dead. Time will
wind up its affairs.

The Grand Result.
We briefly sum up the result of our recent
State Election as follows:— Our Noble Gov-
' ernor, Wm. A. Buckingham, is re-elected by
a majority of 11,000. We have elected all
the Congressmen, the entire Senate, and the
House stands 161 union to 73 opposition.—
What more could be desired ?
.«N
The Legislature.
In looking over the list elect to the Legis-
lature this year, we find that both the Sen-
ate and the House, are composed of an unu-
sually large number of new members, there
being but three, Of last years Senators, and
‘ nor more than twenty-five of last years House
re-elected. The last years Senators return-
ed this year, are Sanford, of N cw Haven 00.,
Hodge of Litchfield, and Atkins of Windham
Among the more prominent members of
the House, that are re-elected, we find Hon.
John S. Rice of Farmington, speaker of the
last House, Wright of Hartford, Judge Mun-
son of Seymour, Pratt of Norwich, Gullup of
Plainfield, and Boardman and Douglas of
Middlesex County. Among the new mem-
bers elect we observe Chamberlain of Hart-
ford,E. K. Foster of New Haven, Chapell
of New London, P. T. Barnum of Fair-
field, Lockwood of N orwalk, Nichols of Dan-
bury Mygatt of New Milford, Woodruii of
Litchfield, Catlin of Harwinton, Henry Ham-
mond Of Killingly, (the Man with a Carpet
Bag as our friend Howard calls him), and
quite a large number of men of ability from
each of the counties. We believe that the
next session should, and can bc, a short one,
especially as so many of the talking mem-
bers of the last house have concluded to re-
main at home. In regard to the Speakershi p,
we have heard but one expression, and that
is—if Mr. Rice the efficient and popular
speaker of last year, will consent again to be
a candidate, that he should be re-elec ted—in
conformity with the precedents of 1848 and
1860when Hon Lafayette S. Foster and Hon.
.Oliver H. Perry, were elected Speakers for
the second term. '
The leader, of the Democratic side of the
House this year, will have to be our friend
.“Judge Munson” of Seymour, the expound-
er of constitutional law in the last House,
but who he will have for an assistant, we
cannot well see, unless he takes the antedi—
luvian member from Old Milford “Rodgers,”
whose notions of finance and other questions
Of the day, date back of Noah’s time. Per-
haps the Judge may find younger timber,
but we confess We cannot see it in the list of
fseventy.

_ John H. Hubbard.
We congratulate the people of this Con-
gressional District, on the triumphant re-e-
’lection of the Hon. John H. Hubbard to the
COngrcss of the United States, by the large
majority of 2600 votes, especially as his nom-
ination was made in the face of such virulent
opposition from certain interested quarters-
:Ml’. Hubbard's congressional record has been
one of honor to himself and to the District
In Litchfield County, he even runs ahead
of the State ticket 48 votes. while old Fair-
"ald County gives him over 1500 majority.

Washington, April 8th.
My transit from election scenes in Nor-
walk to the National Capital was most 0p-
portune and interesting. The victories, which
we had so eloquently and nobly “ celebrat-
ed” at the ballot box in Connecticut had here
apparently driven the whole populace into
the streets and set them wild with the most
tumultuous excitement and demonstrations
of patriotism. Such a scene of general illu-
mination, exhilaration and fervid demonstra-
tion was never before witnessed in this sec-
tion of the country. Even the poor seccsh
culprits at the old Capitol seemed to have
caught something Of the contagion and broke
forth in songs of “Jordan is a hard road to
travel” “ Out of the Wilderness” and the
like. I could but contrast the change when
but four years ago one could scarce breathe a
Union sentiment here without provoking, an-
insult, a blow or a bullet, and now the poor,
dishonered, detested thing of secession is sunk
so low that not a single traitor is found in all
this great city with pluck enough to pipe its
praises. Why, those who voted the Seymour
ticket last Monday in Connecticut, would put
to shame the whole breed of J efi Davis’
apostles remaining sOuth of the Susquehanna.
None here so poor as to do the burst up cou-
federacy homage where erst all was so bla-
tant, so valiant and so defiant. Verily, “God
moves in a mysterious way hisfgwonders to
perform.”
But not alone in Washington, have patri-
otic pulses leaped with fervent gratitude and
joy. From the outer limits of the pine for-
ests of Maine,across the green mountain-tops,
along the craggy ridges of the great Allegha-
nice, the Rocky Mountain gorges, the Cal i-
fornia defiles—yea, and in the pens and pris-
ons of the deluded, betrayed, deStroyed,‘
southern land of flowers—have tearful eyes
and bursting hearts breathed to heaven
their prayers of devout thanksgiving and
praise. May we not Well recall the sublime
faith and prophecy of Franklin’s appeal to
.the Constitutional Convention—“and if not
a sparrow shall fall to the ground without
the Great Jehovah’s knowledge and regard,
how much more shall he have a care over us,
a great people, and a great nation ?”
Surely God has had a care over us as 'a
nation. No mortal could have foreseen the
end from the beginning, and His Righteous
judgments should ever more inspire the
American peeple with hope and gratitude.

How IIE MISSED IT. —-Some few months since,
one of our merchants who has the reputation
of being a shrewd business man, took a quan-
tity of‘land in Western Pennsylvania in pay-
ment of a debt of one hundred and thirty dol-
lars. The story goes, that several months
ago, a rather “ seed y" looking man called up-
on him, and asked if he was not the owner
of said tract Of land, stating that he lived on
the border in Maryland and had been robbed,
of nearly everything by the rebels, and that

was anxious to leave, and buy a farm in a
safe locality. The result of the conference
was the transfer'of the land for and in con-

’ has so fairly gained the confidence and admiration
of the public as the FAMILY DYE COLORS, manufac-
tured by Howe do Stephens,oi‘Boston. who deserved-
ly rank among our most enterprising and public
spirited citizens. These Dyes were only brought
to their present wonderful perfection by the most
careful, continued and laborious experiments.—
They combine precisely what has hitherto been wan-
ted, and sold as they are at the people‘s popular
prices, are in universal demand. The proprietors
only ask that their Dyes may have a fair trial. 01'
the verdict that will be rendered they have no fear.

PLANTATION BITTERS.
which are now reccommendcd by the highest medi-
cal authorities, and warranted to produce an unme-
diale beniflcial effect. Thcyarc exceedingly agrou-
able, perfectly pure, and supcrcede all other tonics
where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required.
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy appetite.
They are an antidote to Change of'wnter and diet.
They overcame effects of dissipation and late hours
They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.
They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.
They'purify the breath and acidity of the stonlucl
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Diarrhoea, and Cholera Morbus.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache
They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,
and are exhausted nature‘s ' great rcstorcr. They
are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, win-
tcrgrcen, asssafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in
pure St..Croix rum. For particulars, see' circulars
and testimonials around each bottle. ' , -
Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle.
See that it. has our private U. S. Stamp unmntilated
over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig-
nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with spurious and delctcrous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an impostcr. Any
person imitating this bottle, or‘ selling any other
material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters
or'not, is a criminal under the U. 8. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, .90. who wil
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drak untation’Bitters from in.
dies, clergyman, mcr ts. disc. is incredible. The
simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we present of
their worth and superiority. They are sold by all
cspectablc druggists, grocers, physicians, hotels,
Saloons, steamboats and country stores.

POPULARITY.
A great many people, at the present day, think
more of‘ Obtaining a publicity and popularity, than
of any other one thing they could possibly be pos-
sessed of. But, anxious as they may be to acquire
the vain glory of the popular voice, none ever suc-
ceeded to so great an extent as has that world-
renowncd remedy, known as Coe‘s Cough Balsam.
There is scarcely a family in the land but what con-
sider a supply of this article as necessary to the
hOusehold as their flour or provssions. Experience
has taught the people that no other remedy has ev-
er been put before the public that will cure coughs,
colds, croup, sore throat. and in fact all throat and
lung complaints, as quickly and as effectually as
Coe’s Cough Balsam. In the Eastern States, where
it has been long known and tested, it is considered
as the most reliable cough remedy extant, and no
one, either rich or poor think of being without it.
We would suggest to aIl our readers the necessity
of keeping on hand an article of this kind for imme-
diate use. It costs but 50 cents per bottle, and is
sold at all our drug stores, and is the cheapest and
best remedy in the world. lmll
