THE TnANKsoIvING FESTIVAL.

Second only to the American eagle is that
other great American bird, the turkey. How
many Of the latter were laid upon the altar of
their country yesterday we can state only ap-
proIimately. sherdan's army had turkey
dinners, the armies of the Potomac and the
James feastGd on turkeys, and the soldiers in
In our hospitals had turkey to right of them,
turkey TO left Of fthem, turkey in front OF them.
The gallant tars Of the navy received cargoes
Of turkeys, which were duly slowed away under
hatches.
sherman's brave boys probably diued upon
sweet potatoes and spring pork, commonly
called shoat," in the southern plantations.
Sherman being beyond the reach of the Com
missions and State Agencies, is obliged to
forage upon country where turkies (as well
as the American eagle) are scarce, and hi.
men are themselves "gobblers" about thi.
time, unless they have been gobbled by tn,
rebs. This last supposition has but It'll,
probability, however, for shermau's arm,
would make too heavy meal for rebel digcs
ton.
The soldiers In the camps and hospitals o
the military department OF Washington, fare,
suIptuously, as will be seen from the account
given by our reporters, and our citizens en-
joyed the festival in their own houses wit
unusual rest, after having duly attended sci
vice in the churches. Turkles were rather hlg
but "the goose" was higher, and the America
Eagle scared above all.

We saw, yesterday, hickory stick cut at the

Point, to-day, states that refugees who left
Richmond yesterday, and came into our lines
to-day, assert that report was prevalent there
when they left that Sherman had captured
Macon, and was occupying the city on Tues.
day last.
This report Is not at all Inconsistent with
the Savannah report, published in our two
o'clock extra, that Macon was burned. 1t is
not at all unlikely, as suggested In the extra,
that the rebel commander at Macon, upon the
approach of shermnn's forces, acted upon the
instructions OF Beauregard and burned the
city, or a portion of it; and that sherman's
troops, as now reported from Richmond, sub
seQuently entered II.

The railroad in the valley has been completed
from Harper'S Ferry to within three miles OF

repair the road further In that direction.
