The Fourth of July. The Yankee Congress, a week or two ago, objected to adjourning, because McClellan would probably be in Richmond by the Fourth of July, and they wished to be in readiness to enact any legislation which that event might require. They are a grand people for dramatic effects. On the last Fourth of July there was to have been, according to the orders of that magnificent ass, Abraham Lincoln, and a flaming programme in the New York Herald, a general, combined, simultaneous march of the universal Yankee columns, East and West, upon the strongholds of the Southern Rebellion, which were to be chewed up and exterminated without farther delay. But the North was not able to celebrate its Fourth of July in this manner, and the South put off its celebration till the Twenty-first! It will hardly be able to celebrate its next Fourth in Richmond. What it wants to celebrate it for at all, having sacrificed all the principles which it was designed to commemorate, is beyo

But General McClellan, having been totally inactive for nine or ten months, very closely, so that, if we look only at Beauregard and McClellan, the opposing Generals here, we should say that the fate to be attacked from the north, why, it may be asked, did McClellan go out of his way to approach it by way of Yorktown?

Bacon. --This necessary article of food, which for several weeks past has apparently been very scarce, and commanded a most extravagant price, is now advertised in considerable quantities by the grocers and commission merchants of Richmond.--No doubt a great deal of it has been held up, like other articles, for a rise, the holders hoping for such a result as McClellan's anaconda drew its folds tighter around the city.
