During tge revolution the soil of the Key stone Stay was more than once drenched with thfi blood and thrilled with the shock of contending armies; BRADDOCK lost WS life 'and 'army, even before the revolution; but the greatest, bloodiest, most hardly fought contest which the old State Over witnessed was the battle of Getty`sburg, in 1868. The decisive battle of the rebellion, it was one of the moat frightful in its carnage, and most enor mous in its proportions, and the crops that wave on the hills about that little town should be indeed luxuriant for they , are enriched by the blood of many of the .

At an early age he graduated at the Vern:ont University, after which he studied law in the office of EDWARD W. MARSH, Maintaining himself in the mean while by teaching classics in a young Lla dies' sera nary, and by contributions to the New Yorker, a literary journal of some rep tation in dtys gone by. In publican or Democratic, do not make any allusion to the demonstration. One Dem ocratic journal refers to the moventent, and decla-es, "It has been inaugurated by some of the best men in our city and State, who; having become tired, and indeed disgusted, with the mismanagement and corruptions of both ojlthe oid parttea, have determined no longer. to submit to the despotism of of the rings which have been ruling our people Wth a rod of iron for some years past." But, in another column, and in a differ ent connlction, it urges all RepubliOns who are dissatisfied with their lead .rn or associates, to "Join our parts, (the De ocratic ) th party of the people against the they an corruptionists." In view'of the meagre info) far obtained, we are necessari as to whether a serious and del terprise has been started, or a been put out to ascertain if t zing newspapers, above refer succeeded in; fomenting so la of distrust and discontent. l a April, 1841, Mr. RAY24I nected himself with the : Tribune as the editorial of Mr. HORACE GRE distinguished himself as a co ter, an art or profession.

This is not only liuncharita bre, but absolutely unjust. Were Luvnnn and CALVIN living, and in this country, their conception of the sanctity and use of Sunday would be found not essentially different from the German population of to-day. They may, indeed, be mistaken, i but they are not perverse. Other classes of - citizens tho ghtlessly charge the Germans with Ingle ng upon observing Sunday here as they were ac customed to do In their fatherlan , for no other object than _to' create an an tagonism between themselves and the native-born inhabitants of P ‘otestant faith. Within it few dais ' num ber of Germans, of the highest ispecta bility, have called upon us protest against this imputation. They s ay that by far the larger part of the Get . an pop ulation here entertain no purpose or wish to affront the peculiar views of.the &tact'- , ty of Sunday, and' have no thGught of participating in any public demonstration which, can be construed , as• having that tendency. Their purpose.' on the con trary, is to conform to such usages as exist here, and so)o bring themselves into harmony and sympathy with the masses of the native population. The Germans constitute a large and valuable element among the people of this country. They are industrious, fru gal, enterprising, intelligent and moral. ;They have a philosophy of life, and its 'enjoyment, :which Americans will ado well to study, and in many respects to 'emulate. Even in their recreations there is much to commend. One prominent defect in American society is that there are too few holidays. Another, 'that Whelk oar men seek to unbend and have. a guoktime, they commonly leave their wives, haters and children at home. i The Germain; order matters better; and be sure that whenever educated people of any nationality or extraction take their families with them, they do not mean to engage in shameful or•low conduct.

Unconsumed smoke is. waste. It is a valuable property liberated from amena bility and control, discharged from _pro ductive work, and stuttered abroad to no good end. As this city and the adjacent I mnnicipalities are the smokiest places on this continent, they are, l by necessary in-' ference, the most prodigal and spend thriAcommunities within the same range. What the precise yearly money-value of Pittsburgh smoke Is—that is, how much Iteat.power is suffered to ' go off in smoke to no useful end—tls a problem we are not able accurately to compute. We do not know that anYbody is. But roughly approximating the sum, it is safe to say that it amounts toe million or two of dollars. A critical examination might show it to be much more. Nor is this expenditure of vast annual sums in coalsmoke mere prodigality. It Is expensively creating an unmitigated ntesance; which interferes with the com fort ofevery man, woman and child who either resides here, or comes here for longer or shorter periods, and inflicts-in jury and expense in various ways. When extravagance thus assumes the form of a constant and inevitable plague, it cannot possibly take a worse shape. Is there no remedy for, this waste ,and the evil consequences thereof? In Eng land a number of contrivancei,, recently Introduced have proved largely effectual, insomuch that laws have been ..passed compelling all persons or corporations using, coal to apply them. That laws are needful to such end; viewed abstractly, Ils passing strange. It would naturally be inferred that what economy, - comfort, and tiddincsa united in pleading for, would be granted atrouee and with eager nese. But habit is Migtity. Whin peo gle get used to smoke they become indif ferent to its perplexities, and unwilling even to turn the discomfort, when they can as well not, into ready; money. This was czemplitled three or four hun dred years ago; when the chimney 'Wu a new contrivance: For • a long - widic a decided majority even. of - opulent people, in rigorous climates, preferred to'ition In the old way,:building Area In A the" centre of the hall and allowing the' smaketo escape, as best It could, - through' aper tures in the roof.

C Communicated.) THE SOLDIERS , MONUMENT. jWe see by Monday's papers that llefi nite action in regard to theielection of a site for the proposed Allegheny County Soldiers' Monument is likely to be taken soon. We hope the ladies having this matter in charge will make a thorough canvass of. the merits of the various sites suggest ing, before deciding. We think the gov erning points in the selection of alsite should be— ' • Ist. A conspicuous and commanding spot. 2nd. A point where the character of the surroundings are such as to make the locality attractive in itself, or a place of public interest. 3d. A. point most accessible to the larg est number of citizens, and free to ai l The move to perpetuate the memo - es of our soldiers by the erection of a Mon ument has been liberally responded; to by our citizens. What we want no p is to pa: the testimonial froposed in an en during shape, and in a location that ivill give it the prominence it desert es. The sites offered in Allegheny City possess advantages over any other lyet suggested. They meet all the conditions named as requisite and present other, at tractione not attained elsewhere. The location on the Eaat Commons,( at the' in tersection of Ohio street, is well adapted for such a purpose. It is both central and commanding, having an elevation of about ninety feet above the river, With the ground sloping awayin all directidns, and with broad streets approaching it on all bides. The monument would stand upon le line of the :principal 'avenue, running east and west eighty feet in width and,in the center Of the East Common plot 2,000 feet in length and 400 feet in width. This open ground, lying in the direction of the prolongation of Hand street and only a short distance from that street, giv ing a clear view of the whole north face of Pittsburgh. in the immediate vicinity of the site, you would have finished grounds, good buildings and pleasant views. Similar situations are selectedai other cities for their public monumen Washington City has its WashingtOn Monument at the head of Pennsylvania avenue; the. Battle and Washingtri Monuments of Baltimore stand on. tie principal streets, the Washington Moir anent, New York, at the head. Bro way, and the Lincoln Monument iof Brooklyn, just completed, at the headrof Flatbush avenue. The Seminary hill 16cation needs no recommendation, if is an dbject of public interest ' as a rn"."-- - 1 4 pe. interest in itself• as a monument of culler geological formation. This ounn, ,er, more properly, Eddy Hill, lands .436inpletelyisolated,two hundred feet high, and in the centre of the site of- the two cities. From its summit the whole city and 'surroundings are brought in view. LoOking down, and aim* under its base, you have on one side the three rivers, on the oPposite the Park grounds and shady avenues, on the front mills and manufactories, and in the rear the prive i te residences. This hill, from its regular( y of form and, boldness of ,outline, sprin• ing almost iertically from a level plain, gives the appearance of an artificial mound, and if capped with a monument of suitable proportions, would make that monument an imposing and striking obt. ject, and give an effect that could not t e obtained by art in ordinary situations t ten times the cost. The monument, •if placed here could be seen from all the Public Buildings, from the principal hotels and from every railroad entering the city. The improva ments of this hill, with the commons, will give additional attraction to the plebe and secure for the Monument that care and attention necessary for its phserva tion. We think no feeling of local prn ludic° or selfish pride should interfere with the proper location of this Mont". ment. The two cities are one in interest, and must be one in name eventually. The North side will be the place of residences for the bulk of the population, and the South side the place pf business. We think if either of these sites would be the proper place with consolidation, they are so without it. All we ask for the Montt- Meat is the most eligible location, brit Allegiteny,,Pittaburgh, or elsewhere. , . Another reason for urging its location Ott that side would be tohave, it, in or near the ground. The only open space available for Park purposes near UM =DEM the centre of population is the'Allegneny Commons. These grounds are • rap idly being trinsformed and beautified, The people there have taken the initiatory step in this branch of improvement, and have incurred upon themselves the debt of embellishing these — grounds to be used and enjoyed for all time by the, city at large. Pittsburgh was not asked to pay any part of the expense of - this improve: ment, neither was it proposed they should. In view of this fact, it seems to us the location might be deferred to Allegheny, especially as it possesses naturally supe• rior attractions over any other place, and still further that these grounds are to be improved and beautified for public use. If we are to have a Public Park or Gar den it is the appropriate place for our Public Monuments. _ . The Public Garden of Boston of only three-fourths of the size of the West Com mons, boasts of three monuments—the Everett, Ether and Washington, and of innumerable other works of art. The public monument, of all the older cities are placed either in their public squares, on their principal avenues or their parks. Never.in their cemeteries. The monument we propose to erect is for the future. We want it to stand where it will shOw to the best advantage twenty years hence, and would have it, if possible, as conspicuous as the Brock Monument on Queenstown Heights, or Bunker Hill Monument at Boston.' THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. EDITORS GAZETTE: The choice pre sented by the Allegheny Park Commis sioners of two sites for the 'long contem plate'd Soldiers' Monument—the one, the summit of Seminary. Hill, the other a cen tral point on the East Park and Ohio street, with suitable divergences of the street on both sides, it appears to me, are either of them so much more eligible and appropriate than any others named, so easy of occult', so conspicuous and so in keeping with sites adopted for kindred purposes in several of the larger cities, that I cannot see how the ladies who have charge of the subject can hesitate. The only objection I have. heard from any quarter to these capital sites is that they are not in Pittsburgh. Now, on this point there should be no - serious difficulty. Allegheny and Pittsburgh are but parts of one great city. Many of those who at.one time opposed their municipal con solidation are now in favor of it, and their ultimate destiny is, to be one great city. Let no present asperities 'be al lowed to estrange them. I write as a The Colt Revolver. The real facts as to the manner in which the Colt revolver was invented are said to be as follows: Colonel Colt, while in Hartford, out of business, in 1834, fre quently visited the arsenal there, and one dap. found an old pistol, such as is now to be seen nowhere ,save in the Tower of London and the Dfesden Treasury. This had a fixed cylinder arrangement, design. ed to be revolved with the fingers. Colo nel Colt looked it over several times, took it as a gift, and tried, during a fort night, to invent some apparatus by which the cylinder could be turned mechanic ally. He finally applied to Allyn Good win, owner of the shop where he had been experimenting, to see if he could invent anything; and Goodwin succeed ed. qoionel Colt swore that his fortune was made; and after failing to establish the weapon's manufacture elsewhere, at last started in Hartford, having secured $45,000 among leading citizens. When Colonel Colt went abroad in 1856, he saw an altnost elect duplicate of the pistol he had discovered in the Hartford arsenal in the Dresden Treasury. This goes to dis prove the popular idea that the pistol was first whittled out of wood, and in that shape patented. Sows' liLthx.—Everybody knows the value of milk as liquid food for the young and weak; but everybody does 'not know that of all milks, that from the sow is the the richest and most nutritious. It cone tains 50 per cent. more of solid consti tuents, such as butter, cheesy matter, and sugar, than does the lacteal produce Atit the cow. This is shown in a recent analysis by Professor. Cameron,. of Dub lin. He appears to be only The second chemist who has examined the secretion. Curiously, the sow's is generally absent fromlists of milk analyses; the reason doubtless being the difficulty of securing specimens. Your procine mother strenn ously resists the appeals of the fairest of milkmaids; beauty cannot Induce nor dexterity compel her to yield a 'drop of her offspring's legitimate food, even for the benefit of science. leo, unless - these scruples can be overcome, there'is little chance of the rich diet coming ti? nuuket. Two rich men have lately-died in Bos ton, and left nothing to Eirvard College. Thisomission is in contrast with the usual course of the liberal and thoughtful nabobs of that city, who illustrate in life thf - Why of acchmulatine and using prop. erty, and recognize in death the demands which society has upon . its distribution. he Providence Journal, commenting on this, san t "We do not wish any of our rich men to die; they are in ,the main cleier fellows, and have yet- much good to dbin this world, before they enter upon the rewards of the next, but really, we wish. that more of them would recollect the Rhode Island Hospital, which is the noblest monument of - Christian charity that has been erected in our State, and Brown University, which, properly supported and endowed, it capable of ex ercising an uncounted influence for good." Tun Paris lime corrects the .popular notion that M. Thiers was the sun of a blacksmith of . Aix. It says his father was an advocate of the Parliament of Marseilles, and his mother, Marie Made leine Arnie,. the daughter of a delegate of the commercial population at Constanti nople under Louts XV. The latter was married to a lady whose sister was the wife. of Louis de Cheater, so that M. Thiera' was cousin to the celebrated poet, Andre Chenier, who perisbed on the guillotine in 1793. She was a warm sup porter of the Comte de Chambord, and always regretted that her son did 11(4 join the Legitimist party. ON a farm in Lewiston; Maine,' there is la very curious au d extensive beaver daui. Ninety years ago this dam was quite ai good as it is now. The beavers felled logs all along the dam; to remove which —to make a canal—was quite a labor.

' I =EI PITTSBURGH/1S =MEI I rk Liz fisheries are generally reported in- , a flourishing condition. An unusually large number of vessels are employed on George's, bringing in remunerative fares. These fish command a ready sale. Th e Grand Bank and Cape North fleets are larger than usual, but reports from thou quarters are indicative of a veryTavorable season. Ten GlOucester vessels have ar rived within a fortnight from Magdalen Islands, with good fares of salt herring in bulk. The cod-fishing fleet of Province town for this season numbers 84 sail, car. rying 924 men. The Southern mackerel fleet are returning slowly, but the catch is much smaller than was anticipated. The bait fleet is large, and has met with good success. A large number of ves sels are being fitted out for the 80 ,- of St. Lawrence, the season promising good returns. The large catch of seals by the Newfoundland fleet will be likely to abet, to a certain extent, the whole oil trade. It is stated that Boston, New York and New Bedford are to receive this summer 20,000 barrels. _ - - 1 " ADVENTURE OF Blezz.rwr.—France is forbidden ground to Mazzini: Be" is tin der numerous sentences from the French courts, the execution of which is in abey ance simply because the police hav, been unabl to arrest him.

To give ati ely warning to those Who are ant fering from a y of those protrusions denomi nated hernia o rupture, should be regarded as as act, not on y of kindness, but even of duty. ffspecially is tbls the case when so mary of our fellow-citizens are suffering from an ailment so little understood, and so often fatal to human life.
