A REPoRrER's TRIBULATIoNs.-The
Pittsburgh Landing correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial thus facetiously
reports the adventures of a reporter at
battle of Shiloah
"One Henry Binmore, Premises As
sistant Adjutant General, saw the enemy
advancing in force and made mastery
retreat on his own responsibility, clear
ing several fences and innumerable
bitches in his determined effort to gain
the Tennessee river at all hazards. He
says it was clear case of stampeding on
the part of his charger. AT the termi-
nation of the battle, he advanced from
under the cover of a bluff, with
Pride in his port, defiance in his eye,"
inquired whether there was yet rem
nant of the enemy to be pursued and an
initiated.

az The 18th Wisconsin, a raw regi-
ment, composed of men who hunt and
trap all winter, and work in lumber mills
all summer, went into the Pittsburg bat
tie less than two weeks after leaving Mil
waukie, $50 strong. Their Colonel and
Major were killed, and their 1t. Colonel
desperately wounded, and of seven Cap
tains who went into the fight only one re-
mains $50 men, sick and well, are all
that now occupy their camp-the rest be-
ing killed, wounded or prisoners. They
were on the extreme left, and their great
loss is owing to the fact that we would
not fall back. Their field officers were
brave even to rashness, and the men
would not fail them. We doubt if par
allel to this conduct on the part of raw
troops can be found

N-
but is mainly supported by American"
travel and the transportation of " Ameri-
can - produce.
While we regret to see such marked
manifestations of ingratitude by our Ca
madam neighbors, it is truly gratifying to
know that we are in no ways dependent
upon them for the means of conveyance
between our solid little New England aud
our Great and Glorious West. We have
several Railroad lines of our o,on, among
the most prominent OF which is the
I" american Lake Shore Railroad Line,
extending from Buffalo by the south shore
of Lake Erie through Cleveland and To-
ledo to Chicago, and which is constructed
upon " American soil and was built with
I" American " capital, and for speed, safe
ty and comfort is excelled by no road on
this continent
1t therefore becomes the imperative dur
ty of every American citizen who has SUI
ficient patriotism to feel indignant at the
injustice and want of gratitude which has
recently been exhibited towards us by the
English people and the English press, to
hereafter patronize the railroads con-
structed by the enterprise and capital of
our own citizens, and wholly refrain from
yielding any support to a road running
upon foreign soil and through commu-
nifty which hates the American flag
with such intensity that they propose to
mob the man who unfurls it.
Furthermore, it ought not to be vain
appeal to the patriotism of our people to
say, that under the tax bill now before
Congress, and which will undoubtedly
pass in a few days, the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Line will pay one dol
lar and seven cents on each passenger
who goes over the route from Buffalo to
Chicago, and in that proportion to inter-
mediate stations beyond those points in
passing either way. 1t will thus be seen
that every citizen of the United States
who passes over the British Canadian
Roads virtually robs his government of
this tax of one dollar and seven cents, so
much needed at the present time to sup
port and carry on the war; the rates for
passage and freight on both the Ameri-
can and Canadian lines being in all cases
the same.
In addition to the above it is not i'm
proper to observe that the "Great West
cru Railway acts in unison with the
Grand Trunk Railway, and that these
Roads have always manifested the most
bitter opposition to all the railroads ex-
tending from New England to the west,
and that to accomplish this they have had
agents located at all the prominent points
of New England to solicit both passengers
and freight at rates that are absolutely ru-
inous to the Canadian Roads as we'll as
injurious to all the American Roads run
ming from the east to the west.

GENERAL AcCLELLAN.-Whatev may be
thought Of the management Of General Nc
Clellap in position which seemed to many
too great for his capacity, it viii be acknowl-
edged with pleasure, universally, that his
proclamation bEeathes true spirit Of patriot
ism and no less determined purpose. He is
now at the head of the most important divis-
ion of our army and while he remains there
he deserves, and will doubtless receIve the
cordial and earnest spppors of every lover of
the country. Ills success is the success Of
the nation, and his defeat the defeat of the
nation Nothing, We are sure, would give
greater satisfaction to those who have been
disposed to criticiSe McClellan's past policy,
than his speedy and glorious triumph over the
rebel forces of Virginia. That he may fulfil
10 the uttermost the noble promises of his
proclamation is the wish OF every loyal heart
and when he has done so, every loyal tongue
viii be prompt and joyful in the utterarce Of
his praises.-E0e. Post
