LOCAL INTELLIGENCE The Fire Alarm Telegraph. —Other questions are now beiog agitated in relation to the Fire Alarm Telegraph, and other obstacles are being thrown In its way, so fhat we are led to conjecture that it will be some time ere the. system be put into operation in this city. It is a serious matter, ami one that should command all the attention of the public, whether this sys tem is truly what it represents to be,.or whether it cean be erected here at a reasonable coat, and therefore any doubt which may arise concern ing either of the above questions, should be thoroughly investigated. The system will not suffer the least by this'investigation, and if it can stand the trial, its merits and advantages will appear more openly. If, however, it is not capable of undergoing the trying ordeal ol a strict examination by itself, we wil? be after- ' wards in a position to congratulate with our selves that a large and useless expenditure wss not entailed upon the city by a too hasty step in doing business. A special meeting of the Fire men’s Association was held on Friday evening for the purpose of taking some action looking to an investigation of a direct charge of brlbeiy made and reiterated by ono of pur evening cotem porarieß in the matter of Ihe adoption of the Fire Alarm‘Telegraph of Kcnnard & Co. When such statements as these are made, we have rea son to doubt whether this telegraph can stand upon Its own bottom, which is the one great recommendation necessary to be found in any thing having any claims to our attention. We are gla 1 that the Association have taken action in the matter so soon, and whatever way they decide the question, the public will doubtless be thankful to them tor their prompt exercie.- of duty. The Insinuation oi our cotemporary might be unfounded, and it might not, either j way, the truth should be brought out. II it be j found true that any persons, whose interest it | was to have the system adopted, resorted n such vile"- means, in order to attain that end. it is nol at all improbable that the system will he immediately rejected as woithleaa. A committee was appointed to investigate the charges and report the same as sooon as practicable. The Association thinks that it is a serious and neo fo.ary question for them to know who is re ferred to, and that, as the writer speaks know ingly, it would not be amiseior him to iniorm that body if the the charge has reference to any member of the Association. From these prompt measures we have reason to hope that the truth will soon be made known to the public, and this question of using unduo influence will t>c promptly settled. la Prison at Columbia.—Captain John Donahue* ot the lu3d Pa. Yols., who recently escaped from prison at Columbia, r>. C , and ar rived In this city on Saturday, after a perilous journey down theCongarec river to the coast, states that at the time he escaped, he left In prison, well, the following officers : Captain Robinson, 77th regiment ; Lieut. Gamble, 7‘th regiment ; Adjutant Irwin, to3d regiment; Lt MpOall, 103 d Co. A; Captain Smaller. 103 d, Co. D; Lt. Stokes, 193d, C0. D£(J.plainGratty, 103 d Co. E; Lt. Bryson, 103 d, Co. E, Lt. Chambers’ 10? J, Co. F; Onptaio Morrow, 103 d, Co ij ; Capt. Mackey, 103 d, Co. H; Lt. Burns, IOSd, Co. it; Captain Spence, 103 d, Co. K; Captain Bower*, lOJst; Captain Freeman, 101st; Captain Shaffer, lOlst; Captain Benner, 101st; Captain Clark, luiat. “Captain Alexander and Lieut. R tester, of Co. I, 103 d regimeut, escaped frpm Columbia prison some three weeks befnre I did, hot i can not %&y whether they succeeded in making good thelreßcape.” City Ordinance*.—Some of the city ordi nances, we must say, re being very much disre garded, that in regard to the sidewalk* especial ly is not observed in any manner whatsoever. The sidewalks and gutters should be cleaned at least twice a week, but instead of that we find that they are hardly cleaned once a month The compliance with this law is not the rule, but the exception, and for this reasop it is that the sidewalks are in such a bad conditiou. During the winter season, especially, it is necessary for the comfort-of all that this ordinance should be complied with by every cltiz en. They will And no difficulty in doing it. If the ice, snow and mud which is now to be found in such quanti ties, w&l*BOt-be removed from the sidewalks, the citizens can never expect to be Abie to walk abroad with any degree of comfort. We hope that they will attend to this matter immedi* a’cly. The Hancock Corps —We understand that applications for admission iuto Gen. Hancock’s new corps are becoming numerous, and that the numberis stea lily on the increase We feel cer tain that if greater faclll+ities were offered to those who desire to enlist, the number of appli cants would be doubled. There seems to be a disinclination to enlist in this corps, iron) the risk the applicant must needs run of being re jected after having made the journey to Wash ington* If the men could enlist and receive their bounty money in their own districts, re. cruits would be more numerous. We under stand that steps are being made to remove these difficulties. . Ueueflt of Harry Overtngton.— Our read ers must not forget the splendid entertainment which will be given to-night at the Theatre, on the occasion of . Harry Overington’a benefit. His numerous friends certainly will not, and they will eagerly seize this opportunity, togivc him a more subitantial proof of their friendship. Besides the splendid play which will be repre sented, the accomplished corps dc ballet, now performing at the Melodeoa, have volunteered to enliven the occasion with several splendid performances. The entertainment will bo un usually interesting. A New Counterfeit.—A d*mv counterfeit *lO bill of the State Bank at Newark, has jost been detected, being the best imitation of the genuine bills we have seen. Indeed it is almost impossible to distinguish it from the genuine bills, the engravings being a perfect fac simile of the original, but without the word ten printed in red ink on the back, wnich is perhaps the chief feature which an unskilled observer would detect. The paper Is also baisher, and the signature of the President is more open than those on the genuine bill. Reduced the Fare.—The Pittsburgh and Mineravllie Passenger Railway Company have reduced the fare, so that the public may now ride io the head of Wylie street for five cents, and make the entire trip to Mlnersville lor ten. This reduction will no doubt be thoroughly ap preciated by the public, especially during these times of wet days and slippery sidewalks. This move will also increase the buainesa of the Com pany. Library Lectures.—Mlsa Ann a Dickiuaon delivered her second lecture last night at Oon oert Hall—Subject—the meaning of the election. Notwithstanding the very unfavorable state of the weather the house was tilled to its utmost capacity, every seat was occupied, and a great many were obliged to stand. We will not say anything about Miss Dickinson’s lecture, suffice it to say that she delivered it in her usual for cible style, and commanded the attention of the numerous audience for upwards of an hour. The State Guard.—lt is now officially am Dounced that the men who enlist in the State Guard, now being organized by Governor Curtin for State defence, wQI be practically exempt from draft for the United States service. Any member of the guard drafted by the General gov eminent will be-furloughed for the fall period of their term of State service, and they will at the same time be duly credited on the quota of their respective districts. Tbs Wharves.— The wharves during the last few days have presented a very dull appear ance. Few boats either go or come, although severs) have been laying there for some time. THE POST- -PITTSBURGH, SATO A DAY MORNING. DECEMBER i? info; Returned.— Dr. George H, Keyser, who has been absent in Philadelphia for a month past, re turned to the city yesterday, and U now fully prepared to attend to all his friends in the vari ous branches of the Truss and Shoulder Brace departments, and in fact all those cases requir ing mechanical appliances of whatever kind. The Dootor has added to his former knowledge and experience by a full attendance on a course of leetures on these subjects, and is prepared thoroughly to give every satisfaction that may be required. We append the following notice but from an exchange paper. The Doctor may be found at his office attached to his drug store, every morning from nine o’clock, a. m., until twelve m., and fromtwo until five o’clock, f. m.: Dr. Oborur H. Kbysbr.—This gentleman, who has resided at (40 Wood street some sixteen years, aod has beenooe of our most valuable citizens, does not seem to relax in his energies or devotion to his business. Educated a drug i gist,of thirty years experience, and for a long j tirnfe a practicing physician, ho knows all the ) phases of every chronic disease, while his drug | store and business gives him facilities rarely at j talned by one of his age. He not only under- I stands the diseases inoident to humanity, but also the p’oper remedies to be given to cure them. We know what we say, and whilst we consider it strong talk, at the same time It is true. Dr. Keyser la a genuine In his own way. He has been a hard study—is still a hard student —he spares no pains or labor to advance the health or comfort of those who apply to him; His store is well known as an emporium of every kind of medicine lor any known disease; and there are hundreds whD would be dragging out a miserable, sickly life, but for his remedies. We have in our mind many cases cured by .him, at charges so moderate as to suit the means of any one. He advertises, to which many object as unprofessional. His medicines would moulder on the shelves If no one knew or heard of them without being told ol it, and advertising tells of them, mikes them known to the community and, as a natural result, ail are benetUteiT When the Doctorcame here lrom Bedford, whore he had been engaged in a reputable country prac tice for five years, although unknown to the community, he brought with him testimony lrom there of persons of the highest standing and character.

Nbw York, December 16. —General Bragg in an official dispatch of the Waynesboro fight, shows that Wheeler fell upon a email party of our cavalry, who fell back upon the main body when Wheeler retired. Bragg then calls for a concentration at Savannah and Gra hamsville, and urgeß the people to pnt all the obstruction possible in Sherman's path. • The Richmond Examiner of the 18th says: They arc without definite advices from Georgia, lt has no doubt but that Sherman holds the same position before Savannah, that Hood does before Nash ville. lt then appeals to the War De partment for news, whatever it is. Whatever Sherman may do now, it 9ays, will have little effect on the for tunes of the war. His campaign may yet furnish additional material for Yan kee brag, but he has attained no stra tegic object beyond t}ie ruin of a belt of country a couple oi miles wide. The Richmond Whig has another ar ticle in reference to the rebel incendia ries in the North. It professes great pleasure in observing that the Yankees are about to make their country too hot to hold the Southern refugees, who have come hither to keep out of the reach of danger, and hopes General Dix, if he can’t find a law severe enough to meet their cases, will make one. The new rebel conscription bill was reported in the Richmond House of Representatives on the 10th inst. ILINESS Oi THE GUERRILLA OUANTRELL, Apprchcoalons for a Government Train.

I shall attack the enemy again to-morrow, if he stands to fight, and if he retreats during the night, I shall pur sue him. throwing a wing of heavy cav alry force in his roar to destroy Ills trains, if possible s G.

(Signed,) IMPORTANT EXPEDITION. Sailing of a LaTge Fleet. New York, December 18.—The Timet has the following, official, dated Cape Henry, Tuesday, December, 18th:—A large naval fleet, accompanied with land forces in transports,left Hampton Roads this morning, steering in a southerly direction. The largest portion of the army transports left during the night. At this writing, the flag Bhip Malvern and several of the larger vessels of the fleet, are in the Roads, but as the sailing orders have been signalled, they will probably get under way in a short time. The iron clads attached to the fleet were the first to move. The single tnrreted monitors go out in tow of the steamers The Ironsides and the double turreted monitor, Manadonick, propel themselves. Thus far we have been favored with fine weather a light wind blowing from off shore; although the indications seem to point to a northeaster before we ar rive at our journey’s end. Our place of destination will be made known to tbe public at tbe proper time. Suffice it to remark that ample prepara tion has been provided to warrant a vig orous and formidable attack on the ene my’s works. In all probability, a few days hence will give me an opportunity ol sending you full details of the expedition. Nbw York, December 10.—I he World's Washington special says: Rich mond papers of Wednesday, December 14, came up to night from the tinny. They are reticent on matters in Georgia. The Examiner indulges in speculation, and puts its faith in General Beauregard, It admits that Sherman is upon Savan nah, and believes a battle has been fought ere this. The Sentinel and En quirer are silent, and the Dispatch pro fesses to have no later news than that in Thursday’s papers. It is quite evident from the tone ot the papers that there is no communication either by rail or telegraph south of Mil len. Sole Terrible Railroad Accident.

Major General Pock’s Orders. New Y’ork, Dec. 16. —Gold stronger in spite of the favorable newß frofa Nashville and the coast. The demand for shipment is a partial canse of firm ness, bnt there is an additional specula tive demand, though it is not seen Xn what it is based, opening at : price fluctuated between 234 and 255 h. Major General Peck has issue a sup plementary order call upon persons ar riving in the city from the insurgent States, to register their names at bis headquarteis. He says the results de veloped by the registry fully justifies the action of the Department, and the decision in the case the St. Alban3 raid ers, makes it imperative that the regis tering be pushed vigorously. A private dispatch received in this city to day, from a gentleman in Mon treal says it was reported that the money belonging to St. Albans Bank, is to be restored to day, and that there is great reaction there in rebel stock since Wednesday, and that even the tons fee 1 disgusted with the proceedings of the Court presided over by Judge Cour se!. Late Southern News. Fortress Monroe, Dec 15. —The Charleston Courier of the 10th says : Sherman’s army is still moving towards Savannah. We learn that the affair at Station No. 2 was simply a slight skir mish. From thu Charleston Courier of the !>th inst. we take the following : The Augusta Chronicle says that we had the pleasure yesterday of meeting Capt. Capen, of Gen. Winder’s staff, who is in our city in connection with the Con edcrate Prison Bureau, and whose headquarters are to be located in this city. Captain Capen informsfos that ail Ihe Yankee prisoners at all points with in reach of Sherman have been safely removed. He also states that the vandals were so disappointed at finding that the bine nellies had flown from Millen, that they vented their spleen on the inhabit ants of the country. Washington City Items. New Yokk Dec 16—The Tribune') Washington special of the lGth says: It wag stated In conversation to-day, on the floor of the Senate, that the Presi dent had said that Sherman had come out at Savannah, with 40,000 more men, black and white, than he started with. It i?understood that tbe financial pol icy which the Chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means, will endeav or tc pass through this Congress, will lie the issue of twenty year bonds, bear ing eight per cent, interest, and paya ble in currency. It is intended to rely upon them for the means to furnish the war. What Richmond Papers Says.

From the Borne Journal , Jane 4. In every business or profession, indeed, in every department of science or skill, there ib always some acknowledged head—some one who stands out In bold relief among his fellows, as a sort of leader. In the study and treatment of deafness and catarrh, as special diseases, Dr. E. B. LIGHTHILL, of this city, occupies just the position above described. He has devoted years of labor fo this speciality, >nd is now reaping the reward of hi* industry. The editorial* col umn* of the Tribune , of a recent date, bear wit ness to the Doctor’s success In this department of medicine. We quote the paragraph: “Cube or a Dbajt Mute —Louis Loewing steln, a lad fourteen years of age, born in Germany, come to this city when he was about two years old. Soon after his arrival here he was takeo sick and lost his hearing. By degrees he became first deaf and then dumb. For nearly ten years he was a mute, unable to hear the loudest voice or to articulate a word. About one year ago he wasjil&oed by his parents In the hands of Dr. Llghthili, who has so far succeeded in restoring to him his lost powers of hearing and utteranoe that he can converse with those who speak to him distinctly and deliberately. During the past four or five months he has been under the tuition of Mr. Benneche, and has made considerable progress in reading and arith metic.” Having been supplied with the lad’s address, we farther investigated the matter, and discov ered that previous to calling on Dr. Llghthili, the youth a case was considered hopeless, and he was for two Tear* an inmate of a Deaf and Dumb Asylum. The Bev. John Nott, D. D., Professor in Union College. Schenectady, in a published letter, tender* his gratitude to Dr. LighlhlU for treating successfully his case of deafness. Rev. Fred. S. Jewell, Professor of the State Normal School at Albany, also testifies to have been cured of catarrh. Dr. Llghthili possesses other testimonials and tributes to his talent from some of the wealthiest and most prominent anxl respected citizens, which may be seen on application. It would be difficult to speak in any but terms of praise of his treat ment. in the face of these many proofs and facts testifying to his success. Remarkable Gore of Deafness, From the Rev. Joseph M.
