The Pursuit OF the Rebels at Chatfaaoo0a-
From Gen. burnside.
WAsnrNGrox. Nov. .

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-12.3OP M.
A special dispatch 10 the New York Tribune
says: "Advices received this morning by the
War Department from Gen. Grants army say
that the pursuit of the rebels was continued
yesterday by Generals Hooker and Thomas.
Bragg attempted to make a stand at Chicka-
manga Station but was again forced back We
have captured 60 cannon in all and 2OO0 more
prisoners, making at least 1000 in total. The
rebels we're in full retreat on Dalton, leaving
caissons and wagons in their haste. Several
cannon and numerous stragglers were also
picked up.
There is nothing later from Burnside. IL is
conjectnfed that Longstreet will attempt TO
rejoin Bragg, but ample provision has been
made TO prevent the concentrating of any
such attempt. He will. therefore, be forced 10
retreat into Virginia, if he is able to get away
at all.
There is official authority for asserting that
in the several battles Just fought before Chat
tanooga we have captured 1000 prisoners at
least.
CHATTANOOGA, Nov. q.
The situation tonight is highly satisfactory.
Gen. Hooker, Palmer and Sherman's com
mands are nearly ten miles beyond Chicka-
manga Creek in pursuit of the crumblng ar
my OF Bragg. who is making every effort TO
escape our advance near Dalton.
In sharp fight this morning, Gen. Palmers
advance took four guns and three hundred
prisoners.
Gen. Sherman is reported to have advanced
from Tyne Station on our lett to-day and cut
of 1000 rebels.
The road along which Bragg is reireating,
is lined with caissons, wagons, commissary
stores.
The prisoners say il is impossible for the
rebel leaders 10 make their troops stand.
Colonel Lang's cavalry command returned
from raid TO the East Tennessee railroad to-
night They destroyed the road fifteen miles
above aud below Cleveland; they burned a
rebel foundry at Cleveland, where large guam
titles OF munitions Of war are stored one
hundred wagons loaded with baggage, and
captured 50 prisoners. Col. Lang was attack
ed subsequently, by superior force OF infan-
Try, cavalry and artillery, bat succeeded in
bringing his prisoners of.
Our loss In the three days fight, will not
exceed three thousand.

THANKSGIVING AMONG THE SOLDIERS -
Among the many pleasant gatherings on
Thanksgiving day, perhaps none were more
social or better appreciated than at Fort Pre-
BILE and Camp Berry. In response to an APP
peal from the Army Committee of the Chris
tian Commission, the citizens of Portland, with
their usual liberality, contributed generously
of their good things for Thanksgiving din
ner at the above places for thc soldiers station
ed there. At Camp Berry the tables were
spread on the parade ground, extending $50
feet in length and accommodating nearly AGO
men, and were covered with such articles as
go to make up Thanksgiving dinner in New
England, Turkeys, Chickens, Mince, Apple
and Pumpkin pies, hot coffee, DC, &c, which
were furnished in abundance by the good peo-
pie Of Portland.
After the dinner had been spread, a few
appropriate remarks were made by Captain
Cyrus Sturdivant, when 4 blessing was asked
and the men "fel in" with will and did JUS
tice to the food before them. Attic close the
men were drawn up in line and gave hearty
cheers which the Major said he wished to
have heard In Portland, for the ladies and
friends who had provided the feast, for the
Committee who had served them, and for the
glorious old Union.

STEREoPHAS.-Wen never spent pleasanter
evening than that of Thanksgiving day. We
spent it in travelling-wc made tour of the
world! In an hour and half We saw more
than We can read of in month. We visited
the principle cities of the world, we called in
at all the famous Art Galleries,-we climbed
some of the highest peaks Of the Alps, and
sailed over lakes and oceans, all without ris-
ing from our seats or being in the least IA
tigued. The guide We had is good one, says
a great deal in a short time, speaks quick and
puts his words close together. We mean he
condenses to the points graphic in his de-
scription, happy in his anecdotes and keeps
his audience fairly awake with good humor.
The operator has the power OF a mighty
magician, and glorious visions come and go
on the canvass in a truly magical manner.
There will be an exhibition this p. NJ. at 8
O'Clock, and tonight is offered the last chance
for our citizens to see this beautiful work OF
art.

Tothe Editor Qfthe press /.


notice in your paper Of the 25th that you
publish preamble and resolutions passed at
meeting of the Dry and Fancy Goods
clerks at the Old City Hall, complaining Of
Mr.. c. f. Thompson for not concurring with
their wishes and practice as 10 the evening
hour OF closing their shops and stores.
do not see that Mr.. T. is charged with a
violation of compact; and observe that in
the evening hours he does not detain his fe-
male clerks-and he has no others.
The thought occurs, that however rcasnna.
bic and desirable in Itself such a departure
from their past habit of keeping open till a lat
er hour may be to many, that it is new
thing to attempt to make such a change uni
versal by coercion; and that it should be borne
IN mind that the gentleman in question makes
ho Invocation in the past custom as to hours,
aud also that compulsory means, direct or in
direct, among any class or classes of business
men or women, is specially m,becomiug citi-

THANKSGIVING DIscouRsEs. = The dis
courses delivered in this city, Thanksgivin
day were of a patriotic as well as christian
character, SO far MS we have learned. We can
only speak Of one, which we heard and enjoy
ed-that of Rev. George l.. Walker, pastor OF
State Street Church 1t was one of the best
productions from the mind Of that distinguish
ed elergyman-plain, answering, patriotic
no one could mistake it; and he held his large
audience tthe largest that has been seen in a
church on such an occasion for many years, J
an close attention. We shall not attempt to
give even an outline OF the discourse. A wish
has been widely expressed that the discourse
may be repeated, and in place that would
nearly, accommodate all who wish to hear it,
the City Hall. We hope to have the pleasure
of announcing the repetition OF this discourse
beither In his own church or in the new Ciiy
Hall.

PLEASURES OF THE Poor. - We are glad
to hear that our faithful Board Of overseers
of the Poor did not forget the inmates of the
Aims House on Thanksgiving Day. There
are nearly two hundred persons, large and
small, ia the house, and the oycIseers thought
to make them all really thankful on that day,
by giving them good Thanksgiving dinner,
and some extra enjoymcnts besides. So be-
tween two and three hundred pounds of tur-
key were roasted, and besides grand dinner
they had an extra touch OF pies and things
for breakfast aud supper. In the evening
couple of fddlers were engaged, the dining
room cleared of tables and filled with the in
mates, the children being allowed to SET up
and see the fun. Several of the overscels
were present with ladies, and the dancers
stood up for a jig. They kept it up till about
nine O'Clock, changing dances frequently.
Irish reels, jigs, four hands round, and so on,
were executed with vigor and skill. Some of
the dancers, in their agility, would have
graced higher sets than they occupied. But
the world has frowned on them, and they
were obliged to "cut their pigeon wing in the
dining-hal of the Aims House. In the recess,
Capt. Dutton made some excellent remarks to
the younger portion upon being temperate
aud well behaved, giving them slight histo-
ry Of his experience among Incorporate peo-
pie. When he concluded the fiddlcrs agan
struck up, and the Irish lasses with their part
ners went at it again, and were giving the
double shuttle when we left A happier Ball
we have not witnessed in many long day..

BODY fouSD.-The body of man was
discovered Thursday in creek in Cape Eliza
beth, about mile from Cape Cottage. 1t was
IN state Of decomposition and the features
were gone, showing that il had laid there for
some time. The clothing was good bu. there
was nothing found by which the body could
be identified. Coroner Gould was called, but,
finding the body in such situation, he deemed
IL unnecessary TO hold an inquest.
Various surmises are afoai as to how The
man came TO his death. One siory is tina,
about year ago the cry of murder" wa.
heard In the vicinity Of where the body was
found. Another Is that the man was inicSi.
Gated, stumbled into the snow on the creek
where he persisted.

- Mrs. scmmes and daughter, aunt and
cousin OF the Infamous Capt Semmes, Of the
pirate Alabama, were arrested in Baltimore
Sunday for sending bottles of wine contain
ing arsenic TO military hospital in that city.
Several soldiers who drank of the wine were
seized with violent illness, when the fiendish
attempt TO destroy their lives was discovered.
Ii this story is true it will go good way to
prove the justice OF a confined woman-hater's
remark, that the best evidence tla. the Devil
is not as bad as he might be is found in the
fact that he is not a female.
ss~The President has ordered that the
stern law of retaliation shall without hesita-
ton be enforced, to avenge the death of the
hrst Union soldier Of whatever color whom
the enemy shall in cold blood destroy, or sell
into slavery.

hearty thanks for the bountiful supply of pro-

dinner for the soldiers at Fort Prebe and Camp
Berry, and can assure the donors that they
were received with gratitude by the 600 men
who are now stationed at these places land we
trust that many a heart was made happy, by
feeling that they had done something towards
making these noble men feel that they were
not forgotten by those at home.
