The _humiliation, fasting and prayer in dulged" in on Thursday last by the pious fanatics of the Pittsburgh Gazette, do not ' seem to have produced any good whatever; they neither moderated its fanaticism nor improved its manners. On the contrary, like your genuine fanatical hypocrite, its assumption of godliness on Thursday was • but the forerunner of increased virulence and folly on Friday. Accordingly, in its issue of Saturday we find the result of its meditations the day previous. It copies the following admirable paragraph from an address lately irsned by the Democratic members of the New York Legislature, and remarks that "a more atrocious par agraph has not met its eye since the war i began." Peruse the paragraph just as the Gazette has it italicised, and endeavor to discover wherein its atrocity consists : "lii the midst of the surrounding gloom, with a desperate struggle forced upon us, toe dutyof the 1) mmciacy of New York ran be o early discern ed'. It is to furnish those in authority all comai . 101;MM/ IlleMP, fur the successful conduct of the war till the armed force of rebellion--the object and aim of which we heartily condemn—is the struggle persistently against a dismembernient of the Union.

Will the reader carefully ponder upon the sentiments here put forth by the rep resentatives of' a majority of the people of the Empire State. They pledge their au• thors to not only support the national administration in all its constitutional ef forts to suppress the rebellion, but they go further, and declare that "we must even uphold it in its functions, lest in its imbecility of judgment and lack of.m • courage, it sinks out of existence -The the appointed day of its expiratitie sub . manifest meaning of thiOaph above segment portion of thei ,4 Democracy of quoted shows, is tlrhe - d to save the gov- New York are doom the rebels in arms eminent, notiheeility of transitory rul but frormirer two years sad experience, era, whionstrated their inability to save been from themselves. The Democracy o( New York and of the whole country must indeed assist, for two years more, in saving our government both from treason South and the blunders of imbeciles at home. We must bear with and suffer much for the sake of our institutions, and labor incessantly for the preservation of our constitution and the restoration of the Union. This is :considered "atrocious" by an authority which has been teaching disunion for a dozen years, and which de nounces us "eopperheadsand traitors" all who do not partake of its "atrocious" and pernicious couneila. The bluster, threatenings and desires of the Gazette wo pass by in derision and scorn, and look upon them with the con tempt which a proper sense of our position as conductor of an independent unbought journal suggests. We are well aware that a spirit trine enough to acknowledge its alle giance to a few miserable mot tale like our selves, and to their parasites scattered throughout the land, is also mean enough to invoke vengeance upon those who do not share their baseness. Bat vv* • are not yet prepared to_how submissivelito "Gesler's cap ;'' nor subscribe to every folly of a blundering administration in or der to attest our loyalty. The principal crime of the Democrataof New York is, itappears, that they are too emphatic in their admiration of the con stitution of their country.

If. we have no constitution to guide and govern us, what right has President Lincoln to his position, as chief Executive of the nation ? The people did not elect him, because he was in a minority of a million of the popular vote. Flow then came he to be elected? siraply in pursu ance of and in contormity with our nation al constitution. We wish that the Gazette would reflect upon these matters, instead ofallowing_itself to grow'suore fanatical as oar troubles increase. " Where the greater malady is fixed, the lesser is scarce felt," and its seated disease of abolition. ism renders it insensibto to anything, not intimately connected Walt it. Letithence• forth labor to east out this demon; and, in order to assist it in refortni ng,we copy from Daniel Webster, the following extract in relation to our American constitution.— Were he now among the living, his loyalty would be that of questionable sort which would subject him to the cry of "copper head" from every tax gatherer and con• tractor in the country.

A Gallant Mod and a Chivalrous Return. From the Washington ctironicto. In the recent movement of Stonentan's cavalry the advance was led by Lieutenant Paine, of the. First Maine cavalry. Be ing separated by a considerable distance from the main bodyche encountered un• expectedly a superio? force of rebel cav alry, and his whole party were taken prisoner?. They wele hurried cn as rap idly as p ossiblo to get them out of the way of our advancing force, and, in crossing a rapid and deep stream; Lieutenant Henry, commanding the rebel force, was swept off kis horse. As none of his men seem 'e4 do think or care anything about saving him, his prisoner, Lieutenant Paine, leap ed offi his horse, seized the drowning man by the collar, swam ashore with him and saved his lira, thus literally capturing his captor. Ile wan sent to Richmond with the rest of the prisoners, and the facts being known to General Fite Hugh Lee, he wrote a statement of them to General Winder, ,the Provost -Marshal of Rich mond, who ordered the instant release of Lieutenant Paine, without even parole, promise, or condition, and, we presume, with the compliments of the conlederaey. He arrived in Washington ou Saturday. This act of generosity as well as justie I must command our highest admiration. There is some hope for men who can be have in such a manner. Bat the strangest part of the story is yet tocome. Lieutenant Paine or arriving in Washington learned that the officer whose life he thus gallantly saved had since been taken prisoner by our forces, and had just been confined in the I )1.1 Capitol prison. At the last we heard of him he was on his way to General Mar tindale's headquarters to obtain a pass to visit:his beneficiary and benefactor. Such are the vicissitudes of war. We could not help thinking, when we heard this story, of the profound observation of Mrs. Gimp : "Sich is life, vitch likevays is the bend of hall things hearthly." We leave it to casuists to determine whether, when these two gallant soldiers meet on the battle-field, they should fight like enemies or embrace like Christians. For our part, we do not believe their swords will be any the less sharp, nor their zeal any the less determined, for this exchange of soldierly courtesy. Of.. UHARLES T.

On Monday morning, at five o'clock, the Eleventh, Major General Howard's corps: the Twelfth, Major General Slo cam's, and the Fifth, Major (leneral Meade's corps, struck their tents and marched westward on the several roads leading to Kelly's Ford, distant from the line of Aquia Creek and Fredericksburg Railroad about twonty-five miles. The Eleventh corps being in the advance, res.ched Kelly's Ford at cloven o'clock on Tuesday morning. The erosslad; of Ford. A brigade from this corps, commanded by Colonel Bushbeck, had been guarding the ford ever since the advance of the cav alry two weeks ago. The position had been well reconnoitered and hence imme• diate preparations were made for laying the pontoons, which, strange as it may settle to . "strategists," were at the right place at the right time. The engineering was directed by Captain Comstock of Hooker's staff, but both the laying of the bridges and the crossing were superinten ded oy Alsj - ir General Howard in ner• eon. The position is an admirable one for the exercise of a little strategy.

The remainder of the two I regiments crossed in boats, while the t bridge•building was pushed fiirward with t a most commendable vigor. Early in the evening the Eleventh corps commenced crossing, and the Twelfth bivouacked on the commanding bluffs that surrounded the ford. Stoneman's Cavalry Crossing the RiV or. (In Tuesday morning, long before the day had dawned, the tramp of feet was again heard on the floating way, and,when the gray light of farming rose on the scene, long. Idaek lines were prt,t,'et;ltg themselves in radio from the pontoon launching. and the plain 1),•yrITI,1 the river was so )n covered with moving masses ol At six cavalry corps arrived at the lir*, and commenced crossing. Following these canto the Fifth Corps, the Twelfth having already crossed. The wagon trains were all sent back from Kelly's Ford and parked near Bank's Ford, and to those who study the direc tions of straws, it was evident that a con nection would be forced from Bank's Ford to the troops front Kelly's Ford. From eleven o'clock till one irregular tiring was heard iirthe direction of Germania on the Rapidan, and it is supposed that the enemy was there endeavoring to check the rapid ! march of the National troops, though noth ing trustworthy has yet reached 112.

Fred ori ILK burg. • At 12 o'clock on Tuesday, the camps o; tho First Corps, Major lieneral Reynolds the Third, Major General Sickles, and the Sixth, ;Major General Sedwick, were abaft! cloned, and the troops put in motion.— When daylight broke on Wednesday morn ing, national brigades bad surprised, sur rotinded4pd captured the enemy's pickets and reserves, and the astonished rebels beheld two bridges connccting the hostile shores of the Rappahannock, four miles below Fredericksburg. As at Kelly's Ford, ho here, there was no waiting for pontoons ; everything was in readiness, and so skillfully and quietly was the launching of the bouts and the crossing of the men conducted, that the first notice the rebel outposts had of what was going on, was the approach of the boats tilled with men. They fired a volley at random, which wounded some twenty 4nen of the One hundred and Nineteenth Pennsylvania volunteers, that regiment having the advance. Colonel Ellmason is relict-led severely wounded. The success of the expedition in boats was so complete as to prevent an alarm.— The laying of the bridges, though in the very face of the enemy, was, therefore, carried to completion without his knowl edge. Laying. Firidge.i. The hazy atmosphere of the night was one mostcould favorahle for the work. Though see perfectly well for a space of twenty feet around, objects more distant were wholly uudistinguishable through the Mist. Two bridges were laid near the same crossing—one by a detachment of regulars, and the other by volunteers. A pleasant rivalry sprung up, and the volun teer boys carried away the laurels by com pleting their bridge thirty minutes in ad vance of the regulars. After this a third bridge was constructed. A sufficient force to hold the bridges was marched over and placed in position, after which the crossing ceased for the day. The several commands on this side were advantageously posted to await further or ders. The time, purport and execution of these orders will appear at the close of i this drama. Resistance of the Reticle. Two miles further down the river Gen. Reynolds with the first corps constructed a bridge iu the face of thevnemy's rifle pits, and (A - reefed a crossing. The resistance was stubborn but of short duration. The lire of the artillery was too rapid and se vere for the enemy, and he wisely aban doned the earthworks and fled, leaving in the hands of a party who crossed in boats eighty seven prisoners from the Thirteenth Georgia and Sixth Louisiana, attached to Jackson's command. The prisoners re port Jackson as commanding, the righ t wing of the rebel army. Two Fortis Connectfil. Yesterday the Second, Couch's corps, took a position in the rear of Banks' Ford with lull facilities for crossing his own corps and as many as might be ordered to follow him. A good read was constructed between Banks' and railed States Fords, and only orders were needed to put in harmonious motion all the departments of this great army. Two Corps Across the Rapidan. Later intelligence brings in the cheering news that the Eleventh and Twelfth corps crossed the Rapidan at Germania at three o'clock yesterday,and that General Meade, with the Fifth corps, crossed at a point lower down at Gve o'clock. The enemy was everywhere taken by surprise, and nearly every picket force was `captured. From three to live hundred prisoners and wounded had been taken up to 4 o'clock, and the command Was moving down in fine order, buoyant with hope and overflowing witk ecetne)"; The line_ at Four Points. At first as I went out toward the fort a mingled sense of awe and fear came over me, but the fascination of the scene drew the on, till when I had got among the men, and saw their cheerful and determined courage, and heard their deafening chi and erica, all sense of tear was lost, an, the impulse became :stalest irresistible to take rip a weapon and ;rep into the ranks. The rebels had conwed on an easy vic tory. They had summoned the surrender of the place with great pomp, pretending to do it by order of Maj. General Sterling Price, commanding, who, I suspect, was hot within one thousand miles, and had offered Geu. McNeil a half hour to make up his mind, In the reply, conveyed back by Col. Struhan, Volunteer Aid to the (ieueral, the Cehmel claimed that they should credit General McNeil with twen ty nine, as he had decided in just one min ute to held the pest himselt. 'Their de• teat is uridetilitedly a terrible disappoint cnt ar.d hu in iliation, fur they had a double purpose in view. I bey out obly expect( to mule great ca l dal of the capture et Cape Girardeau, and raise the hopes of Rebeldom and the copperheads of the North, but they were also bent on plunder. Their army, as represented by Alsjor Illack well and A cljt, Edwards, is destitute of provisions, and they expected large supplies and great spoil at Cape Girardeau. As it is they have robbed the farmers' houses in the vicinity, but they will erarcely take anything out of the tiouidry, Bliould they be so fortunate as ttiNseare with their liver. In this battle (fen. John McNeil' dis played his act ustemed bravery. Ile was (-Jet, collect( d, and deteratincd, vigilant day and takiii.; but little sleep, and seeing to it that all tits plans, in their ut insist details, were executed. He knew that a grand stake to his country and hint self rested on the ksue. To have lost Cape Girardeau, au important military position in Missouri, and midway be tween Cairo and St. Louis, and immedi• ately opposite to Southern Illinois, would have been a great dliaster: mid for John McNeil to be taken a 'prisoner would, as he said, have left Mrs. McNeil a widow, and his children fatherless. 'Phe South(rn Confederacy has set a price upen hcad, tor his prompt exe utwn oi their guerrilla hands in Missouri, and to get hint into their possession would ;Word them an opportunity of glutting their vengeance, which they are not mike ly soon to obtain, for Gen.

Just as the battle was nearly ended, the steamer OCCall Wave arrived front St. Louis with reinforcements, consisting of the tt:th regiment of Illinois infantry (Col. Black b lour companies of the 20th lowa Infantry, and two pieces of cannon, ac companied by Col. Livingston of the Ist Nebraska regiment, who had been absent at St. Louis. They were marched out to the fieldarl battle, but too late to take any part is Hit?. COI. Livingston has the reputation of a splendid officer, which is justified by his appearance, and his regiment is proud of him.

Balmier to finish what he had so nobly begun, namely, to carry his regiment successful ly through the battle. The scenes on board the steamer Mary Forsyth were full of interest. The corn mander of this fine steamer, Capt. N. S. Green, took every pains to receive and accommodate all the women and children who came on board. They filled his cabin to overflowing, and he gave them mistresses and places to slee, and food, and kept them on his boat two p nights and nearly two days, showing them the utmost consideration and kindness, being himself also detained from an important trip to Memphis, sod oblige,, to land much of his freight on the Illinois shore. All this hindrance and loss he bore not only with patience and patriotic reputa• lion, but with actual cheerfulness. For his noble deeds iu this emergency and his generous sacrifices he will be gratefully remembered. Soldier' Wit.
