DONALDSON Aitirrolt--EDWA RD Al 'CORK LE Washington County Wool While iii 'Washington County, a tew days ago, we gathered some statistics, in relation to the wool business of that county, which, we think, will prove interesting to our readers. A gentle man, who is extensively engaged in the purchase of wool, informed us. that this yeals' clip in that -county, is :estimated at thirteen hundred thousand pounds! The price Paid per lb. by the purchasers ranged from 25 to 62.4 cents. Our friend aver agetythe price per lb. at 373 cents. According to this estimate, therefore, the large sum of four hun. drr4 and eighty-men thousand, five hundred dollars watt realized by the farmers of Washington coun ty,l for- thi s years' clip of wool! Thus it will be ! seen that under the operations of the " ruanousl Loccifoco free trade Tariff of 1846," (as it is sty . red by the Federalists ,) nearly half a million of dot lam Was received in one county alone for wool:1 Here isayact, or a text, from which the croaking 'federal editors may preach " ruinous" discoursesi for the 'balance of the year.

A large.amount of this was raised in Brooke county, Va., Jefferson county, Ohio, and Beaver •• county, P r s., but the greater part .was procured in Washington county. The purchase of Messrs. Patterson ; & Ewing, of Borgettstown, this season, ..: • . amounts to 80,000 lbs; that of Messrs. S. & I' Livingston, of Florence, 80,000 lbs; and that of Messrs. Hopkins & McCabe, of Paris, .80,000 lbs. The highest price paid by thesegentlemen was 40 cents per lb , and the lowest 23 cents. One gentle Man near the borough of Washington, received 623 cents per lb. for his entire clip, an extra fine article; Jesse Edgington, Esq., of Brooke county, Va., was paid, we learn, GO cents per lb. for his large stock, which, perhaps, was as heavy as any other in the 'United States.

DESPATCHES BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. 1:TP41E133E7 ENt THE MORNING POST LATE AND HIGHLY INTERESTING NEWS FROM MEXICO ! ! Advance of the several Divisions of the Army--Escape of Maj. Gaines and Mid shipman Rodgers, and their arrival at the head quarters of Gen. Scott. PIIILADELPHIA, August 27th, 10h. 45m. A. M. By the Telegraph from Richmond, we are in formed of the arrival at New Orleans of the steam ship Galveston, from Vera Cruz, with advices from Puebla to the 6th instant, being one week later than our previous accounts.' General Scott was still at Puebla on the 6th; but the main body of the army under his com mand were prepared to take up their line r of march on the fol'o xing day. 'l'he division under General T - .viggis was to move on the 7th; General Quit. man's division on -.. the Sib; Gxneral Worth's divi. son on the tnh; and the divisiod under General l'illow on the tOih. Col. Childs was to remain in command of the forces to be left at Puebla. Gen. Pierce arrived at Puebla on the Gth; and had not lost a single tnan on the march; notwith standing be had had another severe battle with the giierillas. The most agreeable intelligence brought by this arrival, is the escape of Major Gaines and Midshipman Rodgers from the city of Mexico, and their safe arrival at the.head quarters of Gen. EMI The letters received by - this arrival, mention an affair between a body of riflemen, under Captain Ruff and a party of guerillas, in which the latter mere completely routed. Mr. Kendall writes respecting the death of Lieut Ilall, of the thud Dragoons, awl that of Dr. Ham trier, of the South Carolina Regiment. The train which left Vera Cruz on the evening of the 6th, had been attacked by guerillas, when about 1 miles from the city—indeed their attacks had commenced shortly after the_train left Vera Cruz. The escort of this train was under the command of Major Latta, Col. IVa . l,on being con fined to his bed with yellow fever. Latest from Mexico PIII LA wa.rule, Aug. 27, lOh. , P. M The steamer Galveston t ached at 'Fainpico on the 14th, and Brazos Saitifiago on the obtaining all the inforis\iation which could be had a , those points. •flie correspondent of the Picayune, writing from the Bridge, 1:1 irides from Vera Cruz. under date of the lia, gives the particairs of the attack on the train under command of Major Latta, says that they were met by the guerillas in large force at the pass one mile is the rear of the camp, about 3 o'clock, P. M. The attack was made on the front, centre and rear of the train at the same time; and they were repulsed at all points; when the train advanced to thi ,, point. Ile states that there was a severe loss on our part—two cfficers being severely wounded (Copt. James 11. Caldwell, of the Voltigeur.s, and Captain Arthur C. Cummings, of the infantry, the former a native of Maryland, and the latter u` Virginia.) several nun commissioned officers, an I lea mem that untie were killed: but one had since died froni' his wounds; and that several were dangerously wounded. /lopes are entertained for the recovery of both the captains; . and he thinks the train will reach its destination—though they may have to tight their way lor several (lays. lie says, -We are about twelve miles from the National Bridge, and will move a feiv miles to• The Sun of Anabolic says that these were eight or h n men killed of Capta.n Loyall 4 company of Georgia mounted men, and to.eutyfive of the ene my; and that Governor Wilson immediately or dered a reinforcement. Verbal reports say that the .Mexicaus had thirty men wounded and as ma ny horses killed; and that serious fears were enter. tarried lot the satety of the Lain; as the Mexicans had made exiensit c preparations to cut it oil. from an intpression which prevailed among them that there a million of specie with it. It was. reported at Vera Cruz that the Mexicans had destroyed the National Bridge. etecte I strong defensive works, and expected to act decisively at this point. The Sun of Anabanc sets down the number ut guerillas at ltloo. Col. Wilson had become convalescent; and the health of Vera CM*/ wno more Idvorable. The Spanish Minister was expected at Vera Cruz on the 2:nh of Angus% on his way to Spain. Mr. Kendall, writing liom Puebla, says that Captain had given the guerillas. at San Juan de los Elanos, a severe drubbing., killing - 43 and %%minding and the Thalia of .he sth of August, fully confirms this statement. Maj. Gaines thinks that Santa Anna has abou't 13,0tit0 tolerably it ell disciplined and drilled troops. besides undisciplined recruits who will add but little to the strength of his army. Mr Kendall adds, that since "he commenced his letter, Gen. Scott had issued orders to the army to march, and gives the particulars, as in our former report. The sick and recovering viers to be left behind. Gen. Scott was to accompany the divi sion under Gen. Quitman; and the whole army would enticen'rate at a point in the immediate vi entity of the Capital. Under date of August nth, he writes that Gen. Pierce had arrived that morninit ; and that his men, though much worn and jaded by fatigue, presented a fine soldier-like appearance. He came through without the loss of a man ; although they had been several times attacked by the guerillas. Mr. Kendall says 'that there are a hundred con. flirting rumors in circulation there. One is, that Gen. Valencia was to come out with a force of 12.000 men to attack our front, while Gen. Alva ref, with 3000, would make a demonstration at an. other point. Another was, that Santa Anna had disarmed 3000 of the National Wards, whu,•had been found plottint, against him. Another, that a revolution had broken -out against him, and every thing at the Capital was in the utmost confusion. Still another rumor was, that Puebla was to be at tacked immediately on its evacuation by our army, the garrison put to the sword, and , the citizens punished for their good treatment of the Yankees. Ile believes, however, that there is not a shadow of truth in these rumors. It was concluded late on the night of the 20th, that GMt. Twi- , gs• division should move to-mor row morning. Reports continued to come in that large bodies of Mexicans were moving upon the neighborhood of Puebla; and a report had just reached there, that 1001) guerillas had been seen at El Pinal, coming towards that point, greatly excited at the news of peace. The Vera Cruz correspondent of the Delta says that a letter from a commercial house in Puebla, dated on the llth lust, states that Scott moved for ward on that day. Tampico was reported as being very unhealthy. The yellow fever prevailed to a considerable ex tent at Anton Lizardo., The garrison at Tampico were constantly ex pecting a night attack. Nothing further had been heard from Gen. Tay lor's army. The Diario del Goberno (says the Commercial Times,) of August..3d, seems to think that Santa Anna and the ministers were preparing, the minds of the people for pacific arrangements. El Solden Denuncia Puerile Diarios holds to the idea of waiting tillzictory has perched upon the Mexican arms, before making or receiving over- tures of peace. The deaths from yellow lever at New Orleans, on the 19th, were 56 in the city, and.2l in the Charity Hospital. f Pittsburgh Blusical Academy. riFall and Winter Sessions of the Adult Ele entdtrpm De artment of this Inatitution,willcom nee on Monday Evening,August 30th,at the Hall, cornei,Thirdnnd Wood Streets.
