THE PEOSPEKITT OF THE TOUXG CITT
A few weeks since there weje published
in Tnu DisrATCH excerpts from the first
Pittsburg directory issued in 1813, a year
before the incorporation of the city. It was
a mirror of the then pretentious borough in
which were found many characteristics of
the present city. "Sir. "William L. Jones,
of Fourth aTenue, who is a virtuoso, and
when not taking fire risks is on the alert to
gather in rare old book;, has a copy of the
Pittsburg directory for the year 1826.
So-far as is known by people of to-day
thi was the second compilation of the
kind, though the author speaks of one of
1819, and in his preface suggests that the
growth of the city demands another, though
he sadly asks ""Who reads an American
book," and evidently feared that his effort
would be still-born. The compiler was
a lawyer as was the pioneer in this line,
Mr. Eiddle, and, like Eiddle, also became a
judge in time
Said the People TTcre Degenerate.
Tliore are some portions of this American
book that would interest almost any reader.
Like his predecessor, Mr. Jones evidently
intended that his directorv should in addi
tion be a compendium of facts neccessary to
li'flSlH

The Trimly Church of ips.
constitute a well-informed Pittsburger, and
lie gives hi: opinion of his to-be patrons in
a blunt, candid way calculated either to ut
terly repel or to attract them. After giv
ing a topographical description of the city,
Allegheny town and the county Mr. Jones
dwells on the degeneration of the people of
the time- He laments that people in the
ordinary walks of life who had acquired a
competence by hard knocks and shrewdness
had their heads turned and almost every
family sspird to produce a lawyer, doctor
or clergyman, so that these professions were
fast being filled by woode. heads.
Fashion had substituted for the simple,
healthful society and pastimes of the vil
lage, the hot-house exotics of pretension,
end women had became so designing and
mercenary that there was danger that the
male population would nearly all die batch
lors.The time had come when people were
estimated socially according to the length
of tbeir purses. The chiialry that had dis
tinguished society in the uncontaminatcd
time when tone was given it by Generals
O'Hara, "Seville and Wilkins, had dis- I
appeared and in their stead were left a sen- I
cration of money setters. In the village
state the social virtues had been household
pods, but in 1S26 their altars were conse
crated to Mammon.
Complains of the lawyers.
According to Judge Jones tho bar had
also degenerated. Judges Addison, Rob
erts and "VVilkms all came up to the author's
standard and Lawyers James Boss, "Woods,
Collins, Campbell, Mountain and Henry
Baldwin he says would have shone at any
bar in Christendom, but among their suc
cpssors he only recognizes among the 25 or
20 of his day""Valter Torward and Kichard
Biddle as of the caliber of their predeces
sors. Judge Jones evidently did not write for
ephemeral fame, for lie characterizes his
fellow citizens as very litigious for a church
going city, and deplores the expense of
maintaining the Quarter Sessions Court,
while he says the Mayor's Court was largely
occupied in settling the disputes of the col
ored people. He criticised the architecture
of the city, and sajs the only edifice in it
worthy of mention was Trinity Church, an
engraving ot which forms the frontispiece
of the directory. It was drawn by Kev. J.
31. Hopkins, " subsequently bishop of the
3"piscopal diocese.
Lon S laries and Bad Government.
In 1826 John M. Snowden was Mayor,
t aiary 5200 a year; Bphraim Pcntland, Be
corder, salary 5000 a year; Treasurer, "Will
iam Graham, salary 5150, Street Commis
sioner. William Crawford, salary 5200;
"Wharfmaster, Florence Cotter, salary one
third of receipts. The city abounded in
nuisances, such as filthy streets, foul smells,
unlicensed swine and inefficient police, and
the only street lamps v ere the iew that
twinkled over tavern doors, but the people
reveled in anticipation of the good time
coming, when the 'water works, National
Armory and the grand canals should be
completed. Judge Jones asks:
What have we sramed bv our srrowth in
wealth and population, in manufactures,
trade and all other things, compared with
the artless manners and dekghttul amuse
ments which we have lost? Chartered as we
are by an act of Assembly, as a city corpora
tion, do wo have the real unfashionable con
tentment with which our Milage predeces
sors w ere blessed? Where are our pleasant
social tea dnnklngs; our sturdy blind-man's
bun", oui evening chit-chat, in which both
i-cxes participated, without a thought of
visiting card", making calls or preconcerted
"accidontaljt" Where are the strawberry
huntings- the undated balls: the charming
pi oraenadc, of which all partook with light
hearts, and careless Of fasuionablo cere
monies? Xo Places of Amusement.
Uowwcloave no places of ecn fashion
able lessrt, or rather, plates which polite
and fashionable people frequent; where
pleasure might be sought and found, or
where the useful could be mingled w Ith tho
ngreeab'.e. Many of us are, as a direct con
frequenco. ottcn sadly at a loss how to dis
pose of . leisure hour, which, bv tho bye,
eeldoui breaks in upon the engagements of
uav other clat or our population, thau that
ot the lawj ers, vt ho are said to sleep out the
vacations, or trip physicians, who are some
times curing unTortunate seasons of general
health, compelled to lay aside their lancets
for lack of argument." There would be an
utter deficiency or classical shades and
temples of literature nnd science were it not
fortt.c nominal existence of the University
of Western Pennsylvania, on the coiner
or Thiid street and Cherry alley. It pos
sessesa civ respectable faculty, thcjrieatest

distincuiohcd teat of learning, there are
liTitii-rna iinvntM cMrilnqni4 wllPrf TPHfl.

tuucation are nourishing: a icw aeuatmg

tions have deprived onr citizens of all in
clination for pursuits merely mental.
'Sunday 'Was a Dull Day.
Xo public jrarden within the city, or its
cnvirons,affords a retreat from the drudgery
ofljusincss, the beat of the suu.or the smoke
of the chimneys. The only temple dedicated
to histrionic representations is tbcjdiminu
ti e, wretched and woc-begone edifice in
Third strcot, now rarelv occupied, except by
itinerant sleight-of-hand professors nnd rope
Cancers. Iti entirely unsuitable for the
residence of Thalia and Melpomene. Sunday
is a fearfully long and wearisome day tor the
most of us. They who do not choose to at
tend one of our numerous churches: who
cannot afford a canter on horseback, or pay
Tor a seat in a hack as far as the Arsenal,
Gillespie's, or Noodle Doosev, must be con
tent to promenade the streets, sannter to tho
banks of the Mononsahela; to view -tho
steamboats; stroll across one of the bridges,
or climb the hills that look down so invit
ingly upon us.
According to Joseph Barclay's census the
population of Pittsburg proper was 10,515,
of which 2,303 were of foreign birjh, 424 col
ored, excess of males 91, Kensington (Pipe
town) 329, Birmingham, 459; Northern Lib
erties, 711; Allegheny Town, 702; total,
12,976; excess of females. 108; foreigners,
2.SG& The buildings of the eitv were 1,873
residence houses, forming 2,360 tenements;
438 shops and factories; 155 3- and 340 2
story brick houses, 10 2-storv stone, 10
3-story frame, G23 2-story frame," 280 1-story
frame and 17 brick public buildings;
There were 85 houses in Allegheny Town,
13 of which were brick, and 2,147 houses if
Pittsburg and all of its suburbs.
EIn.t .Nail staking Machines.
As a manufacturing center Pittsburg be
gan to attract attention in 1810. and in 1826
people marveled at the success of the patent
nail making machines, v hick were taking
the bread out of the mouths of those who
followed the old style of fabrication, though
that year there were 1,800 tons turned out
by the ancient process. Salt manufacture
had begun to be important. A few years
previous, when brought from the seaboard
on the backs of horses and mules, it sold in
Pittsburg at $14 a barrel, but in 1826, the
price had lallen to SI 25 per barrel. The
manufactured products of Pittsburg were
in 182G:

This work employed 2,997 persons.
Lots of Distilleries Then.
In Allegheny county there were 79 grist
mills, 65 saw mills, 130 distilleries, but four
of which were in Pittsburer, 21 tanyards, 10
carding machines, 13 fulling mills, 15 oil
aD(l chopping mills and 3 breweries, the
latter all in Pittsburg. The distilleries
yielijd 125,000 gallons of whisky, so its
cost to thi consumer was less than 50 cents
a gallon. The estimation in whhh whisk
was held by Judge Jonej is shown by the
following, "for which he ought to have had
at least a barrel from the maker, 3Ir. Sut
ton: Among these wa must rot forget the estab
lishment of our very particular friend, Mr.
George Sutton, who is the manufacturer of
the celebrated Tuscaloosa, wbic i has been
drunk from Maine to Georgia, and which is
so highly esteemed in the Southern States
fonts anti-miasmatic and animalcuUs-de-stroyinr
qualities; for the mildness with
which it lnsurges tho consumer, and for the
fresh and exhilarated spirits that it gives to
thoso who may have been accidentally ren
der obsolete by its power, when tho return
ing rays of translucence break upon them.
Mr. button ha-, been verfi' successful in the
manufacture and salt- of this liquor. Ordo s
from all paits aro daily arriving.
Mr. S. has devoted, much time and
attention to this business, so much so,
that he is now engaged in making a new bev
erage as a competitor of tho Tuscaloosa, to
which he has jriven the inspiring and beau
tiful name of "Pure Rock water." or in the
language of the last of the Mohicans, "Real
Tallyvallv Cord." This is an admirable
liquor, blending with tho mildness ot milk
all the sparkling vivacity of champagne. It
steals cently upoi the senses, like music
upon the soul, and animates the intellect
w ithout ever collapsing an-idea.
An Early Idea of Protection.
The city's imports were 52,119,000, ex
ports 52,781,270; balance in favor of the
city, 5062,276. This showing, however, did
not satisfy Judge Jones, who was an ardent
tariff man, and he advised the people either
to themselves make articles of luxury or do
without them. The balance-of-trade theory
had a strong hold on his mind. The cost of
carriage of goods between Pittsburg and At
lantic ports in 1826 was 530 a ton, which
greatly impeded the attempt of our grand
fathers to get on the right side in the mat
ter of the balance of trade.
In 1815 Pittsburg had turned out four
steamboats In 1826 she had 48, costing
5495,000; tonnage 8,624. Horses were still
unnumbered. An attempt had been made
to get Councils to mot e in the matter, but
it was abortive and Judge Jones suggested
that councilmcn should be paid 51 a day for
their services, or given a hot supper after
each day's work as an incentive to get them
to perform their duties.
Didn't Stop to Classify.
In Judge Jones directory the christian
names of "the inhabitants are not given al
phabetically and if you want to find Will
iam Robinson, for instance, you must look
hap-hazard through all the Robinsons enu
merated. There was .1 considerable sprink
ling of nobility, all of whom are distin
guished as gent or gentlewoman. Among
the former is found Robert Peebles and
among the latter Mary and Matilda Pride
and Susan Pentland.
Considerable space is occupied by adver
tisements, and some of them are of the
most pronounced "hifalutin" style. Ed
ward K. Pratt occupies a page, setting forth
the claims of his barberingacd hair dressing
establishment. It was located "opposite the
ruins of our late Imperial residence and the
Ancient Temple of Innocence, a few doon
north of Solomon Xiightcap's Crackloo
"Wagon Tavern, alias the Icon's Den."
Mr. Jones, the owner of the volume in
question, picked it up at a book auction of
antiques in New York, and less than half a
dozen copies are known to be in existence.
CALIFORNIA,
The Country of Delightful Winters.
California is the most attractive and de
lightful section of the United States, if not
of the world, and its many beautiful resorts
will be crowded with the best families of
the East during the entire winter. It offers
to the investor the best open opportunity
for safe and large returns from its fruit
lands. It offers the kindest climate in the
world to the feeble and debilitated; and it is
reached in the most comfortable manner
over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Pe
Railroad. Pullman vestibule sleeping cars
leave Chicago by this line every day in the
year and go without change or "transfer
through to San Francisco, Ikjs Angeles and
San Diego. This is a feature not offered by J

SWAYED' THE STRIFE.
The Important Part Performed in the
late Civil War By
HEROES OP THE SIGNAL SERVICE
Is Shown j Documents in Possession of a
Pittslrarger
WHO BECAME QUITE K0TED IX THE WORK
The value of the signal service during the
war of the rebellion has not been generally
understood and valued according to its
merit. Commanding Generals were largely
dependent upon the signal service reports.
The dispatch of some bumble sergeant,
made from the top of a tree, often deter
mined the movement of the army. The
signal service man reported every step
taken by the enemy to the minutest details,
which determined the course of the "Union
troops, just as in the game of chess one
player is governed by the moves of his op
ponent One of the best known anS most useful
signal sen-ice officers in the late war was
Dr. Henry W. Pulton, of the East End,
Pittsburg. His services were repeatedly
recognized in the official reports of com
manding officers. A reporter for The Dis
patch called upon the Doctor at his home,
at Penn and Highland avenues, yesterday.
It was a great treat to look over his valu
able collection of war relics. But the most
interesting thing was to read various dis
patches in his memorandum book', made at
the most critical period of the war, during
the campaign around Petersburg. The
dispatches were made -mid the bursting of
bombs and the whiz of the sharp shooters'
bullets, often cutting uncomfortably close
to Sergeant Fulton. Some of these dis
patches are given to illustrate the nature
and value of the signal service.
His Term of Service.
Dr. Fulton entered 'the, army in April,
1801, at the beginning of tbe war, and was
mustered out, by expiration of his term of
service, in October, 1864. He enlisted as a
private soldier, first in the three months
service and subsequently in the Fifty-third
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Colonel
Brook's command. In December, 1861,
the doctor was transferred to the signal ser
vice, in which department he served until
discharged. He was connected with the
headquarters of every general commanding
the Army of the Potomac, from McClelland
to Meade.
A good specimen of the orders tinder
which young Sergeant Fulton acted, is fur
nished in the following, issued by Major
Fisher, chief of the signal service under
Major General Meade:
Sergeant Fallon:
You must assume control of all parties at
your station and sign all reports. I will
hold you responsible for the good working
of the station. Keep a man at the glass
from daylight until dark. Eeport every
indication n' a movement, taking care to
carrv no information but that of which you
are certain. Your reports have been very
good.
This order virtually of promotion was is
sued under circumstances the doctorV mod
esty will not permit to be related. Among
his documents Dr. Fulton has a manifold
copy of a dispatch which reads as follows:
Sergeant Fulton.
The General commanding would like to
knowiryou observe anything unusual in the
enemy's lines. In our front, in the direction
of Weldin Ballroad, a scouting partv have
appeared through the woods to tho edge of
the clearing beyond, and report finding no
enemy where their pickets were vesteraay.
J. C" Patk,
Captain and Signal Officer.
The following dispatch was taken from
the top of a big pine tree, the Sergeant
being seventy-five feet from the ground.
The observation was made on the eve ot the
battle of Ream's station.
At 6p.x.n hcaw column of infantry, three
Quarters of A-mile In ilenstb. annenred in
icinity of nead woi Incoming from direction
of Petersburg, on road west of Weldin rail
road, passed cast of large fort and continued
southwest on line of Weldin 'railroad.
Enem v opened a signal station on house rear
andtolelt the large fort. The force work
ing on new line or.works is not more than
third as large as was this morning. Corn
in fields near Weldin railroad is being cut
ana nantca to rear or largo rort.
A large number' of similar dispatches
.were passed in the headquarters that same
day.
Some Perilous Experiences.
The doctor often passed through perilous
experiences. Upon one occasion when in
the top of a tree two batteries of the enemy
opened fire upon him. He saw all the pre
liminary movement distinctly, loading the
cannon, aiming and applying the fire, and
even the smoke, all before the shells reached
him. At last when the sharpshooters began
to cut the twigs of the tree all about him,
Sergeant Fulton thought it prudent to be
take himself for a time to the pit at the foot
of the tree.
The signal service men always went with
light equipments, each man having but a
sword and revolver. Other signal service
equipments, rations and extra baggage were
carried in light spring wagons. Owing to
its peculiar character, the signal service
was allowed, by special order or. General
McClellan, and subsequent commanders to
draw rations from any quartermaster or
supply wagon in sight The signal service
was practically given- the right of way un
der all circumstances.
