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 beyond our comprehension.
