THK FALL OF RICHMOND.
The fall of tho rebel Capital, although look
ed for by the people goDcrallf .wnt to emtio ex
tent unexpected at llila time mid created a
tnott J.vyful surprise to all Union men. Tliie
Itata of the pnlilio mind had lxon produced in
part by the fact of many disuppf intnicuts
in that direction, and in part by what leorued
to be, and was no dimbt tenlly the execution
of Gen. Graiit'e grand plan fur the reduction
of Richmond. It will be .remembered that
Orant did mil commence maneuvering Sher

It out on this line," with bi own army, as be
gallantly expressed it to the President, enuliled
Lee to oppose all tlio effective forces of the
Confederacy to the Union army, and rendered
the tuking of Richmond iu that tray too expen
sive of human life.
It hat been a long time sine Sherman bold

of Hiohmnnd. Tlie people could not eve that

a til he turned northward from Clmrlcstuii.
' And It wui out until Hlierinun hud captured
Columbia ami advanced Into Niirlli Carolina,
that Sheridan daubed suddenly into the rear of
Richmond and menaced Lyochlmrg. All tliii

Tho four duyi' fighting which resulted in the
fall of Richmond, was oomineneed by the reb
ate themselves. Lee was not slow to discover
that Sherman could nut be defeated or checked
by any force he could tend to Juhiietini or
or Bragg, and that if permitted to advance
and lake a petition to the southwest of Rich
niond, not only the rebel capital, but the whole
military force of the Confederacy, including in
. President and uonrdiuule thiols, would be
hopelessly abut up by the liciicgiug armiei of
Grant, Sherman and Sheriilun, and be com
pelled to accept any terms Lincoln might iiu
pose, or itarve to deal h.
Lee'i only chance of prolonging the waning
fortune! of the Confederacy, was to concen
trate and hurl hii column upon Grant, and if
poeaible overwhelm anil deatroy Griint'a army
before Shaman arrived. Sherman had not
readied hii poiition on the grand hultlu field
when the figh ing conimeuued, and therefore
the country did not expect tho full of Rich
mond at Ihia time.
Lee made the assault on Grant.waa sncoess
fu) on the first dny, but on the lecond he wai
repulsed and driven back. Grant feeling the
trength of Lee'i'army by thii attack, reiolred
to wait do longer for the achievement of the
end. hut immediately ordered an adviiuoo on
the whole Hue, and aeiit a large force to Sher
idan to aweep down npon liicliiiinml from the
writ andgallauflillle Pliir'swepllliom. The
battle thui inaugurated by the rt-liv'e, plunged
the grand opposing armiei in'n three dayi of

other great rebellions, and this country cannot
hope lo escape the usual consequence pro

terrors of desperation will nut only seize the

We clip Ihe above from tho Arena' t repnit

cution, tn havo required Hie weary jury and

have been asking too much of men whose lime

some business this side of tho grave, besides
listening tn llcnlc mid Raker's counsel. It was
a general remark among spectators that the
argument of counsel would have been more
ell'ectivH if less diffuse. Excessive weariness
disqualifies a man tn receive or comprehend nr
giiment or testimony. Any defense which- it
case is susceptible of, can bu made as well iu

Iheir enterprising men are about tn put up a

house is indeed a handsome nnd noble struct

preservation of the county records. They
have also a decent room for Iheir county judge
giving him a position iu keeping with what
that officer occupies in the new Code. The
Circuit Court ro un embraces tho upper story,
is very large, airy, well lighted, contains a gal

We havo talked wilh tho Post Master at Salem

For sen-nil weeks past the iifllcera Iu Ynmliill county
Inivc been on the licit for horse thieves, ami have st
lust succeeiletl In bringing t" light the most extensive
bund of vlllliuix ever leagued together on thu I'lieillc
coast for purposes of pure theft.
Wo linvc learned from a reliable source, nut necessa
ry to mention nt llu time, that one of the gang now
Iu tho Yamhill Jail, In disclosed tho nuiulier, names,
purposes and wherealsatH uf tho gang. That there
aro about one hundred all told, bound together by des
perate oath, and being able to n-eogtilzo each other
by signs passwords, Ac. Thut the gang extends from
California to Idaho, hy the way uf the Hague liver,
LTiiiptua ami Willamette rallies, and that the principal
market lor tho stolen hor.es is Male). ()u tho l till or
h'ebriur last two horses were stolen In Ufayette, one
belonging to Mrs. Mcllrldu and Iho other to Mr. (lilt
nor. These horses wero tracked by tho nfuVora up
through Polk county where they were Inst sight of.
Boon after, Mr. Bidders of Yamhill being up In P"lk,
saw ond recognized theso horses, and gave an account
of It in Lafayette. One Xiiuley, or Lafayette, gelling
wind of this discovery posted oh" In hot haste und no
tified tho confederates up hi I'olk that they were dis
covered, and a stampede ensued. The deputy sheriff
followed one of tho horses from this place of discovery
to tho Waldo Hills, ond arrested tlio mull who has
turned State's evidence, having in his ptotassslon Mrs,
Mcllrlde's horso. Oillner's horse was stolen from his
stable by ono llembrcc. who Is still at large, and the
man now iu jail, while the man Xutiley stood watch
mound Lafayette to see that the "coast was clear," as
they expressed it, nnd give warning. Nuiiley Is now
In Jail also, not only as accessory to Heinluw, but on a
charge uf stealing a horso himself last lull.
The maxim, that '-there is honesty sramig thlevci
entirely fuiled with the man Ileinbrce, us it now turns
but thut ho nut only helped to steal Oillner's horse, but
that after stealing him he persuaded his comrado in
crime to go and trade him olf, aud then he ( llemhrce)
traded bouts with his comrade und went buck una stole
dinner's horse again frnm the man who traded fur him,
to that when the second victim finding his hoise gone,
and seeing tho tracks hi his barnyard, declared at once
that the man wliu stole his horse was the same man
that traded him, which would havo been the fact had it
notbecufur the boot trade.' After stealing him the
second time, Heinbreo took Giltucr's) horso up the
valley and shot him iu a thicket near Humphrey's Ker
ry above Salem, because tho lru-sc would not swim the
river, The stealing has not been cuiillned to Yumhill
county usslut'.-d in tho Orerotiicin, hut every neigh
borhood iu the valley has lost irfore or less horses. Mr.
Walrad in 3jlem, a hard working man who eiiino from
Jackson county in Heptemlier last.h.is had three horses
stolen since that time, and Is now without a team. The
gang is nut only an cxteaslvu one, but It Is ulsu a des
perate one, being prepared to add perjury tu larceny,
hy swoai'iug each other clour of every charge preferred.
When such things exist iu u community, it is not tn he
wondered at that law-abiding citizens sleep un loaded
revolvers and keep double barrelled shot gnus loaded to
tho noiz.lc ready to blow the brains nut nf any one
who unnecessarily Intrudes on their premises alter
reasonable hours nt night.
. Wc have been permitted to examine several interest
ing letters that have bcen'interceptcd hy the officers as
they were pas-lug from one thief to another, written in
cipher, signs, writing, &e.. but we are not permitted nt
present to make known their contents. Further paiticu
lirs will bo given after awhile. Wo hope Ihe
uflkcrs will ho succoMirul in arresting or driving the
whole gang from the country.

The London Times, in reviewing the Presi

Tho Times admits that ho has ftillillled du
ties which destiny imposed on him wilh firm
ness und conscientiousness, but without feeling
any exhilaration nt success nnd sanguine an

repress the more snngnine expectations of tho
