Some reminiscences of the Second of April, 1865. By Hon. H. W. Bruce, of Louisville, Ky. [The following paper was read by Judge Bruce before the Louisville branch of the Southern Historical Society at a recent meeting.] On Sunday, the 2d day of April, 1865--a day always sadly to be remembered by every Confederate--I attended the morning services in St. Paul's Episcopal church in Richmond, Va., of which the learned and distinguished Rev.
