A gener al attendance is earnestly requested. This looks like business, and we hope the action of onr sth Ward friends will be imitated by other wards, boroughs and townships in this county. All that is wanted to avoid a draft is action and liberality. Passed Through.— The 29th Pennsylva nia regiment, who have been on duty in the West, in General Hooker’s corps, arri ved in this city on Monday night, and after partaking of an excellent sapper famished by the Pittsburgh Refreshment Committee, proceeded on their way to Philadelphia. The 2'jth, formerly commanded by Col. Mnrphy, are now in charge of Col.

The Atlantic is now receiving freight at the foot of Lafayette street, and leaves without fail. Shippers will of course, procure permits for freight at an early hour on Monday. Messrs. Ford and Philips, both well qualified for their re* spective positions, have chage of the office. Personal,— J. B. Roberts, the celebra ted American tragedian, dropped into our sanctum yesterday, looking the very pic tore of good health. Mr. Roberts has just concluded a highly successful engage ment atTndianopofis, Ind., and is now on his way to Philadelphia. We are sorry that Manager JJeßdfiraon’a pre-engage ments preclndecl tlie ppßsibility of securing Mr. Roberts fbr a ehort season here, The Draft.— Election of Parents . — To day (Wednesday) has be6n set apart by the Board of Enrollment of the 22d Dis trict for the hearing, only, of the applica tions on file for exemption from the com ing draft by election of parents. The ap plications will be called in the order of their numbers. On Thursday, other applications on file, from No. 1300 to No. 1390 will be called. Couldn't See It.— The Prima Donna was sunk on Saturday last, an account of which appeared in the Post on Monday. Our neighbor of the CAronickappropriates the main facts of the article, and then coolly asserts that a “ big notice ” of the affair has already appeared in its columns. Couldn’t see it, neighbor. NoiiCE. Partips holding Compromise Bonds of the city of Allegheny, are notifi ed that the sinking fund for 1863 will be invested in those bonds at the lowest rates offered. Proposals will be received by C. Macferron, City Treasurer, the 2d day of January, 186-1. To Remov e Ink SroT3.—Put the article stained over a warm flat -iron, stretch it well, then squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on it, and the 3pct will disappear at Wash immediately in cold water. This is a complete remedy, and will satis fy all who may try it. Election. —The Monougahela Savings Company elects directors on the 4th of next month. Ihe election takes place at Alderman Nicholson’s office. iHE HOLIDAYS Piano- for Holidat Presents. — Such i of our readers as contemplate purchasing pianos during the Holidays, would do well to call at the establishment of Mrs Blume, No. 43 Fifth street, and take a look at the magnificent collection of first class instru ments, which 6he has just laid in. Mrs B. has been in the business here for many years, and the hundreds who have obtain ed pianos at her establishment during that time, can bear testimony as well to the moderation of ber price as to the onqualw fied excellence of the instruments purchas efi at her place. They are always wbat she represents them to be, and we have yet to hear of a single instance in which they have net given the most thorough going satisfaction. Among her collection now are instruments from the celebrated facto ries of Knabo <t Co . Flnines & Bros., Marshall & Traver and Grovesteen <£; Co., which for richness i 4 tone, elegance of de* sign, and exquisite of finish cannot be excelled. M*’re voids, howover, fail to convey a fair :d».*a ot their magnificence. I’hey mu-t be seen and heard to be tally apprecia'ed. Mrs. B. keeps a largo as eortment of pianos always on hand, and po ample is her stock that the most fastidi ous or critical in such matters could hard ly fail to get suited at her establishment, lohc has them at nli prices, and ».s legards the liberality of her terms, they will com pare favorably with those ot any house West of the mountains. She a!*o keeps a flee assortment of Harmoniums, Melode OPR. Vic!;;.?, and in fact all Kim!? of mu sieul iQstiornpnt?, wi-h a frill collection of ibe latest and uk-M popular music, Ac. Remember the number, ar d when you want nnjthiiig m Mrs. ITuitig o line, give her a call. Books and Albums tor the Hoi., days. —There cu.: be no qurstion ut all of the variety and richness of the stock of A 1 bums now being offered tor sole at Miner's next door to tho 1\ stoffice, and those who want anything of will certainly mias it if they d.) not call and examine them. Uri display com prises some fifty dif ferent fttyl-s, and tor richness of binding, faultless last-* of design and extreme beau ty of finish they will compare favorably with any albums ever gotten up anywhere. Of book* suitable for holiday g.us Mr. Miner has a magnificent stock, and we would urge upon all about makijg pur chases of this char»v«.t«-r, to call and see them. II s sets for children comprise some of the best juvenile books out, while his toy books, Ac., are among the most attractive of the character published, and nhould be seen to be appreciated. Mr. Miner’s stock o! goods suitable for Christ mas offerings, i.g. however, by no means confioed to books or album*. He baa a splendid assortment ot portfolios, writing desks, gold pens and cases, chess-boards, and chesa-men, visiting superbly fin ished family bib Les, portemonnaies in groat variety, with other orticlr-s equally" well suited for holiday gifts, but which we have not space to enumerate here. Yon can best jadgo of the attractive character of his stock by paying his store a visit, so drop in as you pags and take a look over it. i»i''b:nr.r<] * :« IKI Jft 2 Li (0 5 2i H 00 cm fr. inn (ki 5 O': 2 iv) Jfi CO Go and See Them in Operation.— We have heard of a number of cases recently where parties, before baying Sewing Ma chines, have visited the different establish ments here aud witnessed the various machines in operation, which has invaria bly resulted in a preference for the cele brated Wheeler A Wilson instrument, sold at No. 2, Filth street. The plan is a good one, and should be generally adopted. The elegant work done by these machines, and ease with which they are operated, and the simplicity of their mechanical construction, strike every one favorably at a glance. Those wishing to purchase machines for presents shonlil get the Wheeler A Wilson by all moans. Go to 27 Fifth street, and see them in operation. We may state in this connection, that the Wheeler A Wilson agency send obliging and competent ladies to teach at the resi dences of purchasers without charge ; neither is any charge made by them for keeping the machines they sell in perfect repair. We know of no way in which money can be more judiciously spent dar ing the present baying season than by investing in these beantilnl and useful in struments. Very Appropriate —As every one is now engaged in the pleaeant task of bay ing Christmas presents, we would just re mind them that there is nothing more ap propriate and useful than a pair ot neat well made gaiters, balmorals or slippers, which can be had at. Diffenbacher’s, No. 15 Fifth street. He keeps a large assort ment of Mens', Ladies’, Misses’ and Children's wear. Do not fail to call, Holiday Gifts. —By reference to onr advertising columns it will be seen that Mr. Frank Case. Fifth street, is prepared to furnish those wishing to make accepta ble Holiday present with everything usual ly kept in a first-class book and periodical store. We have cloßely examined his stock of albums, annuals Ac., Ac,, and have not the least hesitancy in saying that it wall compare favorably with BDy in the city. Thf. Fair.—The Fair for tne benefit of the Catholic Orphan Aayinm has, thus far, been well attended, See to it that this interest \s kept up until the ciose of the holidays, and let the receipts be bo large that all the orphans under the charge of the cbnreh may be well cared tor during this winter. Grand Rush.—The rash to McClel land’s auction store. Fifth street, to pur chase toys &c., for the Holidays, contin ues unabated.

His rendition of this truly difficult part was pronounced upon its last representation as a master-piece of acting, and we may sefaly say, haa ad ded no small name to his already acquir ed fame. The success which this gentle man has met with must certainly prove very flattering to him, for the reason, that very few of oor most prominent stars, rarely play to such houses so close upon the holidays. The great spectral illusion —the Ghost —appears on Christmas after noon and most not be forgotten. On Thursday evening Mr. Proctor takes his farewell benefit, upon which occasion we anticipate a jam. Last Night of the Bohemian Girl, —Another good house greeted the Hol man Opera Troupe last night, at Masonic Hall, and from the freqnent applause we should say they were highly delighted. It could not be otherwise as the Bohemian Girl is charmingly given. To night it is produced for the last time and to insore seats, those who design going should be at the box office early.

New York, December 22 —A snecial to the Times, dated Washington, 2lßt, says: The adjourned caucus of the Democratic members of Congress met to-night, but transacted no important business. General Augur made a trip to-day on the railroad as far as Bull Run, for the purpose of inspecting the road, and pro viding against raids by guerrillas. The bridges were found to be iu good condition, and measures have been taken that will doubtless prevent other descents being made upon the line within this depart ment.
