The usefulness of Pittsburgh to the country, during tha present war, and its importance in the future, in connection with the operations of the Government, is well shown by some facts in relation to the production of plates for our iron clads, by the Rolling mills of Pittsburgh. Previous to the breaking out of the re bellion the Pittsburgh Iron works were engaged upon the production of the or dinary forms of Merchant Iron, now, eight of ourmills are prepared to, or mak ing armor plates for the Navy. The first, to make these plates here, was the firm of Brown & Co., proprie tors of the Wayne Works, who adapting their madhinery at once to their manu facture, furnish plates from one to three inches hi thickness, weighing from 1500 pounds to three tons, for the new Iron sides, one of the best vessels of our iron clad navy. Now the mills of Messrs. Everson, Preston & Co.; Lyon, Short) & Co.; Moorhead & CO.; McKnight & Co.; Graff, Bennett & Co.; Reese, Graff & Dull, and Shoenberger & Co. have great facilities for the production of these important materials for our nary. The amount of plates produced by these mills previous to this time we have no data Hotel Opening. for, but orders are now here and in pro.

Do not be alarmed, gentle reader; I there have been no earthquakes in this region fur some time that we heard of or fell. But we have the authority of the Pittsburgh Mercury, published by J. C. Gilleland, esq., Saturday, February Bth, 1812, just about fifty-two years ago—for saying that the then village of Pittsburgh was visited by some very "violent earth quake shocks," `.` flashes of light," and "large brilliant balls," on and about that time. The Mercury of that date says : "Yesterday morning about four o'clock there were some very violent earthquake shocks felt here. Many persons ex. tremely alarmed, rose from their beds, and ran to the streets. In some parts of the town the people were heard to scream with terror. Flashes of light, similar to those seen on the 16th of Dec. were perceived toward the south-west. This last concussion was greater than any of those that were felt here before. 'There was another slighter shock Last night, between 10 and 11 o'clock. "A few nights ago, a large brilliant ball passed over this place, from north to south. Its apparent bulk, or angle of view, was equal to that of the moon at the full, and its light was about equal. The time of its passing from one side of the horizon to the other was three to four seconds." Still Missing.—Theengineer of the Ti gress Igo. 2, Mr. Graham of Manchester, whose sodden and unaccountable disap pearance we noticed a few days since has not yet been heard from, and hi; family and 'friends are still in a state of painful suspense as to his fate. We trust that he may yet turn up safe and well; yet it seems like hoping against hope. Guardians of the Poor.—A special meeting of the Councils will be held this evening for the election of Guardians of the Poor. Among those whose time ex pires is Mr. Woods, of the Second ght pailg Vast. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2, Wei LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. The New Mayor. Teiterday morning the new Mayor elect, Hon. James Lowry, entered upon the duties of his office. He was install ed without the slightest parade or show. The old night-watch- having found the city unusually quiet on the last night of their duty, had no cases to report, and his Honor, consequently, none to pass judgment upon. It seems there was a general "skedaddle," from the ex-Mayor down to the janitor—all, all had depart ed, and left the office much in the situa tion of those "deserted halls" we react about. The Mayor and his corps of as sistants were as busy as beavers all day yesterday setting things in order, and are now ready to "run the machine," as all offenders against the peace and dignity of this municipality—and there are many such—will find out in due time. Op posed as we are to the new Mayor, polit ically, we shall give his administration a fair trial, praising when we can, and only censuring when we must. He has the energy and ability to make an effi cient executive officer, and the good name and interests of a great city like Pittsburgh should be sufficient incentives to induce him to put forth all his ener gies to meet the just expectations of the people. Let him but start out with the determination that every man ender his control, from the high constable down, shall he Lehi strictly amenable for the manner in which he performs his duties, and all will he well, and the protection of persons and property secured. Another Man Killed.—A man nam ed Hemp Sharp, was killed at the Pitts burgh and Connellsyille Railroad Depot yesterday morning about eight o'clock. The deceased was employed as braks man on one of ~the trains and while "pol ling" a car up the track, had his atten tion attracted by a coke wagon crossing in front of him. He kept watching the wagon, and while his attention was thus engaged the licomotive in front of which he was "polling" the car, came up, and before the unfortunate man could be wade aware of his dancer, he was caught bet wpm) the bumpers and crushed to death. Deceased was about nineteen years of age, and a resident of McKees port. His remains were sent home for interment. Allegheny County's Quota.—lt will be remembered that the officers of the meeting held at Concert Hall on Satur_ day evening were empowered to lay its resolve before the County Commission ers yesterday, but from want of proper concert of action, the matter was delayed until this morning at eleven oielock, when all the officers are requested to meet at the Commissioner's office. Alle gheny county must raise about four thousand men, and means must be promptly.adopteq to secure that number. or we must standthethances of the draft, Still Suffering —The two men, Mr . Flannegan and Mr. Patterson who were so badly injured at the late explosion on the corner of Fourth and Ferry streets, are still in a suffering condition, though strong hopes of their recovery are enter tained. Pasßed Titmugh:—.The 149th Penn sylvania Volunteers—three hundred and tEGRAPHIC, flfty.eight strong—arrived in this city last night, and after partaking of a sub stantial supper furnished by the Subsis tenee Committee, in City Hall the regi ment left for Harrisburg. We under stood that the men had all re-enlisted, XXXVIIIth CONGRESS. and were going home on the usual fur lough. Theatre.—Mrs. Waller appears this • evening in her grand Shakspearian ren dition of 'fag°. Her celebrity in this I RESIGNATION OF SENATOR WHITE, character is only paralleled by her fame in the Duchess of Malfi. She is the only actress on the American or European Proposition From the Rebels for Peace, stage who has successfully assumed this subtle and difficult-role. Time to be Extended.—The bill in relation to the Pittsburgh and Birming ham railroad which is now before theLATE LAryi House, extends the time within which the company is required to build the Tern peranceville branch of its road. If not extended, the time will expire with the I present year WARRINGTON, Febuary I.—House.— - GROVER & BAKER'S SEWING The various resolutions proposing an in aa IiLACHINES hare obtained the highest premium u - nity as to the increase of the payment of soldiers and their pensions, the pro at et err State, County and Institute Fair held tection of emigrants to the territories, in 188.2, as the hest family and the best manufae &c., were adopted. taring machines, and for the hest machine work. it Fifth at., Pittsburgh, Pa. ofo., AF.
