The famous Japanese swindle has been out
done; pubicans have been found who surpass
the Lelandsj and Albany eclipses New. Tork.
Mr.. Lincoln and cutie are more prodgious feed
ers and drinkers than the No Kamis They
remained for less than one day at the Delayai,
House, in Albany, and bill was rendered 10
the amount of eleven hundred and twenty dol
lars. As there we're eighteen persons in the
party, two OF whom, Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln, did
not dine In the hetel, the expense for each
person, three quarters of day, was lust sew
enty dollars! Included in this bill was a
charge Of three hundred and fifty seven dol
lars for wine, or above twenty-five dollars or
nine bottles a head. We are not surprised after
such drinking, at considerable charge for Con.
gress water. Neither is it wonderful that the
breakages for stoves, chairs, and 90 forth, were
set down at hundred and fifty dollars. Fellows
with nine bottles Of liquor under their belts must
have been in state to break everything about
them, even their own necks. Shakespeare
makes lago say that "your Englishmen are the
most Iotent In potting; your Dane, your German,
your swagbellied Hollander are nothing to your
English. He drinks you with facility your Dane
dead drunk; he sweats not to overthrow your
Almain; and he gives your Hollander a voinit
ere the next pottle can be filed. Oh, sweet
England" But England is two-penny mug "a
your genuine American, according to the hotel
bile. When the Prince of Wales was at AL
bany with retinue Of thirty persons, bis bill
ut Congress Hall for two days was two hundred
and fifty dollars, including sixty dollars given
to servants. How moderate in comparison
with the travelling party Of the President elect.
Mr.. Lincoln being rigid temperance man the
keepers Of the Delavan have probably taken
their revenge on him in this manner.

to cut down the sum--scolding
and threats, mingled in one chaotic uproar; two,
three and ten on the floor at the same moment,
and each trying to drown the voice of the other
"a country member is presiding) At length one
says, "the gentleman, Mr.. Chairman, is ont of
order"--"slt down, d---n you, have the
foor"-"Oh, yes-thought he was GENTLE
man." No power in the chairman to make an
approach to order. AT length Mr.. Herman said
he would read the bill presented by the Delayan
House as part of the sum. And now every
man declared he had not drank; and one ayow-
ed that he had been seventeen years trying to
get elected to come here, but he had not "drank
a drop" in tweDty-seven years. Loud cries for
the New York Aldermanic Japanese Commit
tee-but the nearest response was the face of
Mr.. Ben Wood, in the lobby. Finally the
amount was cut down to q total of 1864 so, of
which $500 goes to the Delavan House; and
then at nearly three o'clock the House took
recess to seven in the evening.

From the s.. Louis Republic IN, OF Monday
last, we condenss the following reports,
which coneIusiVely refute the former reports
OF the movements Of ire southsrBers, as well
as other misstatements
The train on the North Missouri road, due
here about y O'Clock Saturday night, did not
arrive until II O'Clock Yesterday. II was de-
tanned BY the burning q d culveTt near Wells
vile, which was no sooner repaired, and the
train passed on, than information was received
that d portion Of the track hsd been taken up
aud the road rendered useless. A collision
also occurred on the road between an ascend
lag and descending train, and oas Of the en-
giHes exploded, seriou3ly inJuring the engineer
lie is said to have had both his hands blown
of. Tue position Of The troops which have
been sent on that road is not known, bat it is
believed that emily a portion OF them had
reached Hudson.
Messrs. Oliver Russell and G n. Lynch,
(undertakers) came in on the Pacific train
yesterday evening, having in charge the body
Of Capt. Gratz, who was killed in the battle
OF Springfield.
Hessrs. Russell and Lynch, in company
with DR.. Franklin, visited the battle field.
They discovered but six unbuTied bodies, and
the features Il these had not decsyed sufi-
GENTLY TO prevent recognition. Aside from
occasional mounds Of earth here and there,
and the bullet marks on the trees, the field
bore bat little evidence Of the terrible struggle
which ragged with sueH ierceness for more than
xix hours. IL q rtyine, however, they discov
cred q mound Of earth where eighty Of the
Confederstes we're said TO have been buried,
aud the arms and feet Of many Of the corpsss
were visible through the thin covering Of dirt
which had been thrown over them.
TIE Confederate troops have all left Spring
field with the exception OF one regiment, under
Col. TAYLOR. Nothing definite could be asceT-
tanned as towheTe the troops bad gone, save
that they had marched in a northern direction
both hcCullOch's and Prices forces. The
former, it was reported by some Of the citi-
zens, was encamped within q days march Of
Springfield.
In regard 70 the whereabouts Of Gen. Rains,
one Of theAGonfederate surgeons had received
a dispatch stating that Rains had driven Mont
gomery and Lane from Fort Scott, captured
several feld-piecss, baggage wagons, etc, and
was In close pursuit Of both Montgomtry's
and Lanes forces when ihe dispatch was sent
%. Nothing further had been received when
Messrs Lynch and Russell left.
This statement, it will Be seen, conflicts with
Lanes reported victory, noticed elsewhere. 1t
is possible ttat Lanes retreat may have been
for the purpose OF Turing Rains into an ambus-
eade, and that the report of the latter's defeat,
which came by way Of Osceola, where Gen.
Price is now Stationed, may prove to be correct.
It WAS reported that ex. GoyernOr Jackson
passed through Springfield several days ago,
