Mrs. Mary Fassbinder/wlfe of Chas. Fass
binder, who;keeps a tavern in'the vicinity of
the e&ttlo yards, Allegheny, appeared befoto.
Mayor Alexander, on Friday, morning, an*]
preferred a charge of larceny against Williafy
Vance, ah inmate of the house, alleging tha{
he hod-stolon from her $460 in Pittsburgh
notes. Tanoe was arrested, but denied the
larceny in:toto, and. stated that he beUeved
her husband had the'money. In foot, he went
even further, and alleged that Fatsbiuger ad
mitted to him, in the morning, after, the
money _was‘missed, that “it was aU right—
that he had it himself. 1 ’ This aroused-the
suspicion of officer Bowden, who made the
' arrest, and on inquiry ho Horned that Fass
binder and his wire had been quarreling about
their money—each r trying to grab from the
other. Fassbinder, talked very , flippantly
* about the matter, alleging that the money
had “gone up a spout,’’ and showing by bis
conduct that be was altogether unconcerned.
The officer then, upon information received,
made an information against Fassbinder,
charging him with having taken the money.'
He was arrested,ond in the evening gave bril
in $l,OOO to appear for afarther hearing this
afternoon at two o’clock. The question arises
ben, can a man be indioted for the laroeny of
bis wife’s;money? And ean Vance,also a
defendant,'be used as a witness against Fass
binder ? ,

A good deal of .pilfering has boon going on
lately at toe Federal stroetdepot ef the Pltts-
Fort ..Wayne, and Chicago Railway,
owing to toe immensearoumulaition of freight
at that place. About daylight Friday morn-,
lag, a colored man named Isaac Manus, who
drives ah express wegon, entered the yardr
and ifae seen to lift a sack of -clover seed,
valued at ten jdollars, which he carried for
ward about fo>ty feet, and plaeed;upon the
topofa barrel, near the side gate. He. was
aooosted by one pf toe hands, (Mr. Hopper,)
asked why he romovfid the took. At first he
denied having touched it, but finally admitted
that hshod moved it because it was hanging
partly .off the platform, and likely to be dam
aged by the eon. He was then told to carry
it back; and place It where he got it. He
it op, and :carried it back about half

Ah. information was made against Manus, by
Mr. J. W. Williams, the Freight-Agent, And
he was arrested and held for trial. He hod no

the gato that he might carry it off during, the
excitement caused by the arrival of the train,

We an on the eve of the meeting pf Con
gress. You hare repeatedly and. faithfully
called attention to the vital interests-which
this body will, by its aotlon, be called upon to
subserve, and to no more worthy or .impor
tant subject did you ever direct public atten
tion. So auoh may be safely said In general.
How, then, may those Interests be subserved
in definite action ? What should be the main
spring, of the loyal policy qf the aatioo, or of
the nation’s representative? I think the
question may be answered in a phrase. Let
there h serried and unshaken front pre
sented to all enemies of the majestic and pa
triotiopoUcy of the President 1 That is the
rallying point. Stand by. Aia to the'last
minute in his emancipation policy, and in all
the great measures which wllLflow therefrom!
Stand by the great and good man who is
Secretary of War, whose name history will
delight to record, in letters of gold, beside
those of the great and good of our nation
and our raee 1 who, in the midst of calumny,
being the mark for the'loose expectoration
of every Vila and despicable wretch in the
land, calmly, and.in silence,;did aU his duty
to his country, and triumphed over titled and
banded imbeoility. No body.of men was
ever before. In the history of the world, called
upon to hot in more difficult or solemn circum
stances than Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet.
It should, therefore, be the prayer of every
patriot that they be ended with the power
from. on high, and that all the force
and virtue ,that lie In the united and
concentrated effort and voice of a great
people may be felt beside and around them—
a panoply on the right hand and on ths left.
On, that this Congress, now about to meet,'
may be united in its action for‘the speedy
suppression of this terrible rebellion! We
have lived now many months under;the clouds
of sorrow.-'Our friends have gone, many of
them, to their graves In this great olluse, but
ifjour liberty-loving people are true to them
selves, true, to the great interests ior the time
being committed to the osre of the .President
and hU Cabinet; these clouds of grief shall
be hut os the hand of God which, visible Jn
human things, has Itself a shadow whioh con
ceals what it accomplishes.
THANKfIOIVIHO DAT.
In the midst of many sorrows we are oalled
upon here as well as In many of the States to
give thanks to ,God in a. special manner
this day .for manifold morcisi, for bounteous
harvests» for general health and through aU
the bonders of our free States, for peaoo and
general happiness and prosperity. In all the
half-hundrod hospitals of this andxhe adjoin
ing cities,;means have been contributed, and
proper material furnished for an excellent
dinner for every one of the sick and maimed
heroes from many a bloody field , of battle.
Thanksgiving la the shape of a beautiful
board, ia thus brought to them from all the
i hills and valleys of their distant,homes. It
will be a pleasant sight—so many 'convales
cents, joining heartily in the general jubilee
pf*freeaen. :
raox th* tboht.
Thonpwi from the Rappahannock is not
Impotent this morning. There has been a
long psyfc on the hither side which I trust
may notifprovo disastrous. The Blohmoud
papers declare that Burnsido’r movement
upon Fredericksburg is only a feint. Very
likely I. Who knows? There is some en
couragement in the feet that no one here ex
cept those who ought to, does know whether,
itis or U not a feint: His a yet greater cause
for encouragement, that the eeoesk for oneo
appear to be at a loss what to do—whether to
concentrate on the Rappahannock near Fal
mouth, or at Gordonsville, or whether to
make a clean track for Richmond,; and look
Southward as well as Northward. Time will
dlsolose the tale.. .
White, however, there is as apparent concen
tration of rebol forces iafrontofßarniide/aU
about bis flank and rear we bear of wandering
bands of thieves and plunderer*--such as
parts of Stuart’s Cavalry, some of “Stone
wall's” foroes, and the like. I think Slgel is
equal to the task of watching all that s ort of
highwaymen. The raid of a gang of robbers
into Foolesville, a few stiles* above this city,
on the Maryland tide, on Monday morning,
caused a loss of about $200,000, as Is said.
The persons composing the gang are believed
to have teen from Maryland—doubtless a
majority of them “good Union men,” who,,
wheu. you talk with them, declare they ore
“just as good Ualon men os you are 1” There
men generally .have taken the oath of alle
glaaoo two or three times, and are thus priv
ileged to remain at home and pick up infor
mation for tho seoesh army. It is hard to
deal with men who have taught themselves
that they are under no binding vow of allegi
ance to the flag of their country I

The annual report of Hon. Jos. H. Barrett,
Commissioner of Pensions, has been submit
ted to tho Secretary of the Interior. Among
other statistics of the Pension office wblsh it
gives are the following: The whole number
of pensioners in the loyal States, on the 30th
j of June, was 8,159. - The annual amount pay
able to these pensioners was $762,711. Total
amount aotually paid, including arrows and
expenses of agencies, $762,161. In disloyal
States the whole number of pensioners is
2,073; calling for a yearly payment of $168,-
864. The army, in valid pensions granted
during the year ending June 30th, Is 336, pen

6,878.'. The yearly amount required to pay
these pensious Is $349,026. Revolutionary
pensioners in loyal States, 30, with a total
annual payment of $1,760. Widows’ applica
tions for revolutionary pensions, granted dur

$1,000; Tennessee $700; North Carolina ssflo;
total, $lO,BOO. Bounty land warrants issued
during the year, 1,636, for an aggregate of
257,660 acres of land.
It is believed that few meritorious claims
for land under any of .the bounty laws now
remain unadjudieated. The whole number of
aoroigrontod for military and naval sorvlce

the formation of. toe government of one hun
dred and seventy-two millions, nine hundred
and twenty thousand, eight hundred end
fprty-eigbtdollars, under the new pension set
of last session.
The Commissioner reports the business of
his Bureau ltrgsly increased. He does not,
however, shairo in. the apprehensions of these
who have feared that this new tew would, in
view of toe proseniilse of the army and navy,
fsjton an burden upon the
oountry. He believes that the annual sum re
quired to carry out the law will not exceed
seven millions for the next fiscal year- Un
der the new law, npj to Nov. 16/1,411 army in
valid pensions had been applied for, of which
478 had been granted; applicationi‘of widows
-to the tame dote, 5,161; of mothers, 901; of
minor children, 20, and of sisters, 10. A few
of these had been'retnraed from endorsement
at the Adjutant’s office on Nov. Ist,‘but 126
had been granted.
In tbo Navy, under the same law, 162 in
valid applications had been made, of whioh
61 had been already granted—ll 6 widows'
applications, 20 of mothers’, and 3 for minor
children. A considerable percentage of these
applications will hot be found allowable, and
the eppllcations run through a period of eigh
teen montbs .of hostilities.
The Commissioner is of opinion, that of the
large number of soldiers discharged for dis
ability, but a small proportion wilt be found
so disabled as to entitle them to pensions.
The Commissioner reports the list of pen
sion examining surgeons, thus ter appointed,
154 in all, and says this feature of the new law
will be productive of groat benefit, and iffat
ho has designed to make appointments only
where the convenience, of applicants for a
pension seemed to require such en officer.
Numerous attempted fronds, have been de
tected during the year, by detailing clerks
to examine e&rofally, and en the spot, sus
picious cases.
; The Commissioner refers to. the prevalent
impression that there Is groat dlfficnlty in the
way of pension claimants securing their Jost"
righu,?n account and need
les* red itape, and in a very clear and highly
interesting statement, shows just what pen
sion claimants hare to do, and how simple
the process of securing a just claim for pen
sion' really is..' He suggests simplification of
the prboess of paying pensioners, and the pro
priety of designating pension magistrates'
throughout the country in whom theDepart
mentfoould-repose eohfldenoe, and to whom
claimants eoald apply to execute the declara
tions aadotoer necessary papers. •
