with the crowd, with several wounded soldiers.
To the latter Gen. Mcclellan addressed special
words Of sympathy.
The reception closed al three O'Clock, but In
response TO urgent demands from the multitude,
who were unable to enter the building, General
Mcclellan appeared for few minutes on the
portico, and bowed his thanks. He was enthu-
siastically cheered.

The Boston papers (Republicsn) bring US the
most luminous accounts Of the demonstrations
being madSSin that city, by Republicans and
P,U'tcUss, to do honor TO Major General George
B. Mcclellan. Yesterday, over ten thousand
Of the citizens of that Purltanlcal city assem-
blcd, under direction Of the municipal authorl-
tics, to pay their respects to the General. On
that occasion the representatives Of over three
hundred and thirty six Of the most influential
and wealthy mercantile houses in that city
agreed, in published card, 10 close their places
Of business. All Of these merchants, embracing
the "solid mon of Boston," and representing
moro than tno hundred millions Of capital, arc

Frs Of this Government and is policy, and not one
in ten of them is unrcpresented In the army Of
one hundred thousand men which PWritniical
Massac husets has sent TO the field to aid In pre-.
serving the Union.
Besides, two.thirds of the merchants, lu the
list referred to, arc GctiUr Republicans and are
daily supporting the policy Of tho President,
and strengthening his hands to execute il. Now,
in view Of these facts, II is time that the anti
Puritan n, Coxes, BroOksCs, Nalldndlgha
Van BuTCns, " GODS, and other political .tricH@'
Of George B. Mcclellan, should arouse them
selves and rescue their beloved" from the
possibility Of being converted over to puritan
ism, and becoming New. Highlander, and
prevent him from being "left out" when the
reconstruction" scheme is adopted.
These ovations TO such man in such place,
by such men, is au awful calamity to those
who have thus far had exclusive control Of Lit
tic Mae. wchopc this matter will be looked
into. So far as the Republicans engaged in
these ovations are concerned, We would recon-
mend that the few narrOw-soulcd, narrow

The RcSIrWcIiOn or the
Pirate OretO! q.
FULLER PARTICULARS!
8TATEMENT OF PASSENGERS
FROM HAVANA.


In addition TO the Geographic report, pub
lshod in the REPUBLICAN yesterday, we have
fuller details from passengers, who arrived at
Now York, in the steamer Columbia, on Sun
day, concerning our naval feet, and the ProbN-
BILE destruction Of the pirate oreto in Havana
waters.
The Columbia left New Orleans on the Goth ult.,
and arrived at Havana on the 21th. While re-
naming at Havana, the passengers learned from
the Inhabitants that heavy firing had been heard
at a supposed distance Of siNty miles from that
place II WAS positively asserted by some who
appeared to be well informed in the matter, that
several OF cur gunboAts had attacked the rebel
oreto, and sunk her The report was generally
believed In Havana, and was the all-absorbin6
theme Of conl crEation.
The Columbia left Havana for New York at p
IN. on the 2sth, Just prior 10 her departure, the
Creole, from New York, arrived, bringing the In
tciligcncc that she had been hailed by the United
states sunbOat C1yugR On the dsy prev ious, and
was informed by her captain that number Of tho

AZ but halt an hour elapsed between the aiIiyAl
Of the Creole and the sailing Of the Columbia, n
Nas Impossible for the psssengcrs Of the latter
vessel to gather the particulars. Taking into con-
sileration, however, the confidence Of the people
at Havana in the truth Of the report, and the sub
sequcnt confirmation by the officers Of the Creole,
the passengers are fully convinced that the pratt
cal craft OrDto, has, At last met her welldescvcd
fate.
Three day 'rsvlous to the arrival Of the Columbia
At Havana, The OretU was chased into that port by
the United States gunboat tuyler. On the follow
ing day the CuyleT disappeared, evidently for the
purpose Of drawing out the Orcto from her place
OF refuge. II would appear that the strategem was
admirably and successfully executed

Visited Congress yesterday, and was warmly
greeted by Senators and Representatives. 1t is
not yet determined 10 what department he will
be ordered, although it Is most likely that he
will 20 back to New Orleans. There 10 a
strong influence cxertiug to place Gen. Butler
at the head Of the War Department or the
army.
Goa. Butler was also before the Committee
on tho Conduct Of the War, yesterday. His
testimony exhibited q mastery knowledge OF
military details in every department in tho
country, aS well as tho condition Of Southern
harbor5, rivers, bays, and the condition Of the
rebels for defence. The Generals programme
for conducting the war is one that would soon
humble such Of the rebels as would not be ex.
terminated, and bring victory to our standard
and All carly peace to every tresido in the land.
We are glad to know that that tho President
appreciates the value Of Gen. Buffers opinions,
as well as hls past services, and We hope that
he will not allow timId counsellors to deter him
from employing the most efficient means to
suppress the rebellion.
While on the subject Of General Butler, we
would state that we learn that he has charged
himself, in his account with the War Depart
ment, with one million Lightweight thousand
dollars, money received by him from military
assessments, Gonhscations Of rebel property,
and fines Of rebels at New Orleans. This ls
