r,T'Y fATELLIeEEGE,

A GLORIOUS JoXn-Ta,es IF tho leading
merchants OF Chatham street, New York, having
learned by M advance pictorial from the Yankee
press, that Mcclellan had made grand entrcO into
Richmond, took trip to this city, ria Alexandria,
Gordonsvile and Lynchbufg, for the purpose OF
collecting sundry accounts in their favor. They
actually reached tho city snd putup ht iashionh-
Bile hotel before they could bo convinced that Nc
fCleIian was not really in Richmond Gen WIuder's
detectives soon came across them, and discovering
the object OF their visit, laid violent hands upon
them" They were taken before the General and
partially examined but afterwards paroe,l, u re
appear this morning.
Their cases illustrate strikingly the cormorant
character OF the Yankee nation. Believing that tho
city wus in the hands Of their own torccs they
to prey upon the goods aud chattels Of tho ruiued
inhabitants. II is to be hoped-and most lcrvcntly
hoped.-thht examples will pc made Of these sccun-
dres that will teach their brcihcrn of the North, lha.
villiany has not yet become virtue.
TIE MAYORS CouRT, yc terd.y, developed
q few OF those scenes OF paltry criminaii'v with
which The town hbouuds. Poor devils, With con-
sciences 'rnencumbered by the doctrines Of moral
philosophy, and souls unpurgcd hy the revelation of
al ultimate damnat!on, or, III the augnage Of tho
old law without the fear OF Cd before their eyes,
but inspired by the Devil" who had been doing
Sonic LICK wrongs, in order obtain luxurici which
some of the people enjoyed, BY doing the evil,
ina Legitimate way, were hauled mp, condemned
and sentenced. Suffering humanity, refused the
simple boon of enough whiskey to drown the rcali-
zatiun Of misery bat resOluto enough 10 get drunk

and Tho results depicted irl0rc the Mayor yuslcr-
day morning.

The NATIONAL THASKsovISo.-As was rec
ommended by President Lincoln in special
proclamation to the people of the U. States
(which We publish this week. not having re
ceiyed il in season for our last issue), the
churches in this city and Saco observed last
Sabbath as q day Of Thanksgiving to God for
His aid in granting signal victories to our
land and naval forces, and in averting from
our country the dangers of foreign intcrvon-
ton and invasion. In several Of tho church.
os appropriate allusion was made by the pas.
tors to the war and the recent victories
achieved for the Union cause. And, as we
learn from our exchanges, the day was gen
orally observed in our cities in similar man

The Pittsburg Battle.

The Salem Mercury, in remarking upon
tho results of the Pi,tsburg Landing battle.
says:-.The public still labor under de-
gree Of doubt as to what was actually ac-
complished at the battle of Pittsburg Land
ing. While we have everything to be thank
ful for that the rebel forces did not succeed
in realizing consummation Of their plans
for annihilating or capturing the army OF
Gen. Grant previous to the arrival OF Gen.
Buell., one thing looks clear to us, which is
that matters remain substantially the same
rs before the battle, and that II desperate
stand was ever to DO made behind the Ma
nassas-like entertainments Of Corinth, the
country has yet to witness it. We were
strongly in hopes that the report which found
its way over the wires the morning alter the
first reception Of the news OF the battle here,
that the enemy had boen pursued beyond
Corinth. would prove correct. From pres
snt appearances, however, this is clearly not
the case. Beauregard conceived the very
natural idea Of annihilating Gen. Grant be-
fore he could be reinforced. The Feden.ls
were slowly but surely pressed to the rivers
bank. but, achievements arriving ard our
gunboats on the river doing most invaluable
service, the rebels were compelled to desist,
and matters remained at stand till the fol-
lowing day. when, the battle being renewed,
We, in turn, forced them back, and retrieved
not only our lost ground, but perhaps little
more, having the rebels at a disadvantage,
but still not sufficiently so to follow them up
with great profit to ourselves or injury to
them.
For wonder, both rebel and Federal ac-
counts Of tho first days conflict substantially
agree in statement. The rebel account is
of course tull Of boast and brag, not only Of
what has been done, but Of what is to be
accomplished on the morrow. We have the
particulars Of that morruw's doings; but
nothing has reached us to show that the rebel
public have yet been enlightened on the
point. beyond tho simple statement of Beau
regard, that he still held his position at Co
rinth. The result Of the battle may thus
be stated :-Beauregard undertook to beat
our great army in detachments-in small
bodies, comparatively. He came near doing
it. but was finally defeated and driven back
our troops evidently losing the greater
number Of prisoners. owing to the surprise.
Having been signally defeated in his plans,
matters remain substantially as before. We
canno. help thinking, however, that, even
with our reiniorcements, we labored under a
Disadvantage in the fght which We shall not
be so likely to experience in the next battle
and that what we have accomplished this
time, will prove suspicious for the future"
