Another Naval Disaster.

10 Our navy has met with another disaster
in the capture, by the Confederates, Of the
crack iron clad boat, Queen of the West, on
the Red River. The officers of the Queen of
the West captured rebel pilot. and putting
him at the wheel, witha file ofsoidicrs around
him, compelled him to steer the boat to the
Rebel batteries, which lie done but too cffec-
tually, taking her close under the guns
Amid the confusion aboard the boat the Pilot
leaped overheard and escaped-the colors were
struck, and the boat captured.

McMechen.

We should have noticed on Saturday that
McMecheu, in reply to our comments upon
his first chapter of revelations, wrote an
article to the Press, stating that be never
sent us communication about certain Ri
Otous demonstrations in Centre Wheeling
near two years ago. As We did not pub
lish the communication, we, of course,
have no means of showing that he did
We are willing, however, to admit the pos
sibility of our having confounded him with
some other writer. The point is insignid
cant as long US he admits the gist of our
article, which was to show how radically
different was the position he held before
this community few months ago from
that which he holds now. We stated in
that article, by way of excusing its length,
that we expected in future to take very lit
tie notice of AIcMechen. He stood before
the community as laughing stock without
even word of comment on his revelations,
and we were disposed to let him stand
there without any further notice of him.
We will state, however, that what he says
about the Imteliigencer in connection with
the lunaticsm and radicalism of himself
and Garlic is simply bald and gross
talsehood. His statement also that we ever
got any plan or suggestion from him about
the New State is just about as ridiculous
as if DR.. Barrabeno bad said that we got it
from him. AS far back as December, 1860
series of editorial articles concerning a
New State, in case Eastern Virginia went
OFT into the Southern Confederacy, ap-
peared in this paper. Of piece with this
statement is his whole article. For in
stance he says that the editor of this pa
per is public printer which every one
knows is not true. Another specimen of
his article is his commentator of the
Press as loyal newspaper. His iusinuation
is that any one connected with this paper
ever had any cognizaucO or knowledge of
a project to "mob" Senator Wiley at the
time of the May Convention here in 1861
is as Infamous falsehood as ever was nut
in print.
With these remarks we leave McNIecben
to his reflections upon DR.. Logan's card
concerning him.

Important to RealiEstate Operators.
From the Chicago Press and Tribune

We have on several occasions alluded
briefly to the activity in real estate, which
has been so noticeable in this city for the
past sixty days. Operatives have been
pretty fully supplied with purchasers,
and the demand is still on the increase
There are a large number of firms in Chi
cago devoting themselves especially'to the
sale and purchase of real property, and
among these none stand more prominent
or have been more favOrably known than
Messrs. Carr Bros. They have an extern
siye acquaintance, and before the war,
made heavier sales to Southern parties
than any other one house. Having re-
Gently fitted up fine suite of Offices in

DR., Watson Carr, the father of the
members of the firm, is a. physician of
the highest responsibility, here, and hav-
ing had large experience in real estate
matters, will, though not connected with
the firm, give them the benefit of his adj
vice aud counsel. We commend the firm
to the confidence of the public.

This is is the correspondence alluded to
in the above article from the Marietta (o.1

statement, two or three times reiterated
in the Wheeling Pres, and never yet re-
tracted, to the effect that Sherrard Glen.
ems had been iutimidated by the au-
thOrittes from speaking against the
New State. Sherrard Clemens was not
above causing it to be SO understood
for the purpose of making capital for
himself, and for two or three DAYS
the editor of the Press played bluff in his
paper by asking for the correspondence
The fellow was very mute, however, on the
appearance of the correspondence. he had
not single word to say. He felt, in street
Parlance, like "wet dog" as be is. BE
was pinned right down at his own game
and he had not the manliness to come
out and clear up his statement and make
the amende honorable to the Provost
Marshal. Instead, however, of doing that
he sneaks into his paper the articles that
are written by his brother copperheads in
ditferentpnrts ofthe countrywide take their
cue from the original and still unretracted
statements made by him in regard to the
correspondence. and thus he imposes afresh
the dirty lie, which he started, on his
