s. NJ. PETTENG1LL & Co.'S advertising agency
in New York has been removed from ll9 Mas
sau street to 81 Park Row. For many years
we have done business with this firm both at
their New York and Boston Offices, and we
have ever found them prompt, faithful and
thoroughly reliable. In these days when there
are so irresponsible parties in the cities and
especially in New York who seek to impose up
on the country press by making advertising
contracts that they never intend on their part
to fulfill. it gives us great pleasure to commend
those who by honorable and prompt dealing
are deserving the public confidence. Such a
firm is S. NJ. Pettengill g. Co., and their orders
are glways good at this office.

DETAILS OF THE EVACUATION AND OCCUPA-
TON.
The army correspondent of the ass ociated
press, writing from Yorktown Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock, says: This morning at 5 O'Clock
your correspondent entered the enemy's works,
which the rear of their army desc rted four
hours before. Everything was found to be in
utter confusion as though they left in great haste,
between 40 and 80 pieces of heavy artillery
have been left in their works, after being spiked,
together with large amount of ammunition,
medical stores, camp equipage, tents and pri-
waite property of their officers. A negro who
was left in the town, states that the rebels
threw a large amount of ordnance stores into
the river to prevent its falling into cur hands.
Several deserters have succeeded in running
into our lines. One of them, a very intelligent
man originally from New York, who has been
connected with the rebel ordnance department,
ever since the works at Yorktown have been
constructed, states that the rebels evacuated,
owing TO the near approach of our parallels,
covering the immense seige works Of our men,
and that they feared the success of the Union
gunboats in the York and James rivers, by
means of which their communication with the

enjoy an immunity from attack. We may
hope, but do not believe nything Of tho
