A MIDDLETOWN= za THB PITTSBURG FIGHT.
Mr. George F. Ross, son of Rev. Joseph Ross,
of Middletown, and a brother of H. A. Ross, of
the firm of Gross & Co., druggists, of this city,
was in the hottest of the battle fought at Pitts
burg, a few weeks since. The regiment to which
he Is attached, the 13th lowa, WAS in both battles,
Sunday and Monday, and was literally cut to
pieces. We are happy to say that Mr. B. es
caped with two slight wounds.
BOATING in both the Pennsylvania and Union
canals, has been stopped, caused by several
breaks in the former, in the upper counties.
The river has overflowed it in some places and
it cannot be repaired until the water falls.
Boating in the Union bad been quite lively,
and the obliging collector, Mr. John Snavely,
informs the editor of the Middletown .journal
that the channel is in first rate order, and that
the prospects for a good run this season is
quite flattering.
We ammo it stated this morning that the
woman found drowned in the canal near the
" two mile lock," below this city, a notice of
which appeared in last Monday's Telegraph, was
identified as the wife of a man living some
where below Middletown. She had been resi
ding in this city for several weeks, where she
csntracted habits of drinking, and it is supposed
that while laboring under the influence of liquor
she wandered to the c•nal, and either accident
ally fell, or voluntarily threw herself into the
water, and was drowned.
THE COLUMBIA DAM.—The obstruction to the
passage of fish in the Susquehanna, caused by
the dam at Columbia—after having been agi
tated in every way but the right one for an in
definite length of time, by means of remon
strating with the company and stirring them
in the paper—is now about to be brought up
in something like a definite shape, and one of
which the law can and no doubt will take
cognisance. Complaint has been made before
Alderman Van Camp, of Lancaster city, by
Emanuel Nagle, setting forth that the company
are guilty of a nuisance in the premises. This
will be returned to the present court of that
county, and a bill probably found.
RLIWICAD ACClDENT.—Yesterday, an employee
of the Northern Central Railroad, while acting
as a temporary fireman on the locomotive of a
freight train at Marysville, about five miles
above this city, accidentally fell between the
bumpers of two oars, and bad one of his legs
smashed in a horrible condition. He was
brought to Mr. Erb's tavern, at the end of the
Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge, opposite
this city, when Dr. Rutherford, Jr., was called
in, who found it necessary to amputate the
man's leg, which duty was performed in a
highly satisfactory manner, and this morning
he was doing as welt as could be expected under
the circumstances. The wounded man is said
to be a switch-tender on the railroad at York.
ATM/PT TO ROB AT MIDDLETOWN.— It seems
that the citmns of our neighboring borough,
Middletown, are not altogether exempt from
the visitations of burglars. On Sunday night,
as we learn from the Journal, an attempt was
made by some daring fellow to enter the store
room of Messrs. Melly. The scoundrel tried to
force an entrance through the office attached
to the rear of the building, and succeeded in
prying open the shutter, when he was heard by
one of the clerks, who sleeps in the store.—
While attempting to force the window, the
clerk grasped a large duelling pistol, and dis
charged the contents, consisting of two bullets
and about sixty buck shots, at the robber. It
being dark, he could not take aim, and there
fore did not hit the intruder, but the shot took
effect within one foot of the place where the
man was working, and had the load been dis
charged a little more to the right, the thief
would have received the contents in his heart.
So heavy was the charge, that the defender was
injured to some extent by the " kicking " of
the pistol. The thief has not yet been appre
hended, but we may here state that the same
weapon has been reloaded with about one hun
dred bock shots, and woe be to the man who
dares to snake a similar attempt.
IMPORTANT MESSAQa FROM 773 E MAYOR. —At a
special meeting of the City Council last even
ing, the following message was received and
read:
To the President and Common Council of the city
of Harrisburg:
Orsmum:— As I cannot, consistent with
my views of the charter of the city of Harris
burg, as I understood the opinion of the Su
preme Court thereon, and my sense of duty to
the tax payers of the said city, approve of the
ordinance passed by the Common Council on
the 11th day of April, instant, making appropri
ations for the ordinary expenses and improve
?runts of the city for the year ending March
31st, 1863, 1 return the same to your body
with my objections thereto, as required by the
ninth section of the charter.
The Supreme Court, in construing the charter
of this city, gay: "The law that gives the
Mayor authority, as a functionary, in the pass
age of ordinances, authorizes and requires him to
ascertain their propriety, and therefore to inquire
into all the facts that are proper to influence hie
judgment. He cannot properly approve any ordi
nance without such inquiry."
One, and the principal objection to the said
proposed ordinance is, that it appropriates the
large sum of nine thousand four hundred and
sixty-nine dollars in seven brief lines, as fol
lows, to wit:
For the water works
For city lamps and lights
For fire department
For street, first district...
51 second district
" third district
Miscellaneous—printing, stationery
From these few words, and this loose, vague
and indefinite appropriation, it is impossible
for the Mayor " to ascertain the propriety" of
this ordinance. The charter imperatively re
quires, (say the Supreme Court,) that the
Mayor shall ascertain the propriety of all ordi
nances submitted for his approval. He is
bound "to inquire into all the facts that are
proper to influence his judgment ; and indeed
without such inquiry he cannot properly ap
prove any ordinance."
It is true that the proposed ordinance states
that the aforesaid sum of money, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appro
priated for the ordinary expenses and improve
ments of the several departments of the said
city, for the year ending March 31st, 1863
the same to be expended at each times as may be
directed by Council." But, in no part of the
same are any particular improvements speci
fied ; nor are the main items of expenditures
for the water works, " for city lampsand other
lights" stated therein • with regard to the ap
propriation of three tho usand nine hundred dollars
" for streets," the ordinance is still more indefi
nite. What fact or items are furnished by the
ordinance to the Mayor from which he can as
certain the propriety of the sum Y How is he
" to inquire into all the facts that are proper to
' influence hie judgment?' without which in
quiry, say the Supreme Court, be cannot prop
erly approve of any ordinance." In these re
spects the ordinance is radically defective.
By the 10th section of thi charter, all ordi
nances, &c.,are required to be published in two
of the public newspapers published in the city,
within fifteen days from and after the same
have been passed. The charter declares that
'these pnblicatioas shall be made "in order that
a knowledge of the same may at all times be
had and obtained" by the citizens, tax-payers
and other persons interested therein. This
proposed ordinance would leave the citizens,
tax payers and all other persons outside of the
Council Chamber, in total ignorance of theprin
cipal objects intended to be accompliehed by this
large appropriation; and, in fact, denying to
them all proper information of what objects
are to be accomplished by the large sum of
money, which must be drain from their own
industry, and the fruits of their former labor,
prudence and economy. And herein this pro
posed ordinance will be essentially derogatory
to the rights of said citizens and tax-payers,
and cannot, therefore; meet my approval. Be
sides those matters, it seems to me that this
action of the Council, in making this large ap
propriation before it is knoivn what amount of
revenue the city can draw from taxation, foun
ded, as it must be, upon the amount of the as
sessment made by the commissioners for county
rates and levies,
is premature. Prudence would
seem to dictate that the Council should with
hold this and all other ordinances making ap
propriations to be paid out of the city revenues,
until the amount of those assessments are as
certained ; otherwise an amount of taxation
may have to be levied, which, in days of rebel
lion, and consequent stagnation of business,
with scarcity of money and increased State and
United States taxes, may greviously burden the
industry and resources of our fellow citizens.
The actual permanent funded debt of the
city is now $162,600, exclusive of any floating
and unfunded debt, which on the 31st March,
1861, amounted to $26,000. What the actual
floating debt of the city amounts to at this
time I have no actual knowledge of, nor have
I the means within my power to precisely as
certain. The annual interest upon the funded
debt, which must be paid semi-annually on
the first days of July and January, amounts
to the sum of $9,766, to which is to be added
the State tax on a great portion of this amount
and to be paid by the city.
The proposed ordinance appropriates $9,469,
making the demands upon the revenues of the
city from those two objects alone,- the large
sum of about $20,000. This presents, in my
judgment, a very grave matter for the con
sideration of the Council, in authorizing ex
penditures which must weigh heavily upon the
resources of the city, ant would seem to
indicate the exercise of great caution on the
part of the city authorities. And I think your
body will agree with me in saying that all
I appropriations for the expenditure of money
arising from whatever cause they may, short of
absolute and imperious necessity, should be
withheld until the present infamous rebellion
be finally suppressed, and peace and prosperity
be once again restored to our common country.
For myself, acting under the above view, I
here most respectfully but distinctly say to the
Council, that I will do anything within my
power to lessen the expenditures of the city, and
for this purpose will not give my sanction to
any ordinance for the expenditure of money
unless satisfied that the same is imperiously re
quired to promote the peace, good order and comfort of
our fellow citizens.
Among the items reported by the water com
mittee to the Council upon which the appro
priation of $2,116 is I suppose founded, I do
not see that the salary of the engineer employed
by the city at the water works is included. If
this salary is to be pain, as I have no doubt it
is intended that it shall be paid out of the city
treasury, and not out of the sum named in the
ordinance, it will swell the expenditure, "for.
the water works" to about $2,800, a sum ex
ceeding that which prudence, in these perilous
days, would regard as necessary or absolutely
required for the welfare of the city or the com
fort of its citizens.
The appropriation " for city lamps and other
lights" is entirely too general, vague and in
definite to enable any citizen, much less my
self, bound by my official oath, to judge of the
propriety of this appropriation. Nor does the
repurt of the gas committee, that there will be
required " for lights $1,279, posts and lamps
$150,' , repairing, &c., $25, the amount of such
appropriation give me any additional light. It
may be that the sum of $1,279, if it includes
all that is to be paid to the gas company and
those employed to light the lamps is not too much.
But to the item " for posts and lamps," with
out stating where they are to be located, so that I may
be enabled to exercise my judgment discreetly
as to their necessity, I do most positively ob-
titutioulticutict iDailg Zetegrapti, qurotrag 21.iternoon, 'April 24, 1862
ject, as being in direct opposition to the opinion
of the Supreme Court, and to my duties and
authority as Mayor of the city.
The appropiiatiation for the fire department
is not two high, and if the items which com
pose the sum of $l5OO, were specifically given
in the ordinance, it would meet with my un
qalified approbation. The anpropriation of
$3900, merely saying "For streets, First dtstrid,"
and in the same words for the other districts,
is most objectionable, inasmuch as it does not
provide that the several supervisors shall be
paid out of those sums, all of which sums too
might, in my judgment, be expended to the
exclusion of supervisors salaries upon objects,
or for objects not specified in the ordinance,
not now absolutely necessary, or required to be
attended to, such as sewers, and improvements
of like nature, the ordinance appropriating the
monies to "improvements," as well as "ordi
nary expenses." And thus the Council might
find themselves called upon to pass an ad
ditional
ordinance providing for the pay of su •
pervisors, and the necemsay repairs, and clean
ing of streets, &c.
For the reasons above submitted I decline to
approve of said proposed ordinance, and
hereby respectfully return the same to the
Common council for their action thereon, as
provided in the 9th section of tne charter of
the city.
W. H. KEPNER, Mayor.
1 Harrisburg, April 23, 1862.
The question then recurring,
"Shall the ordinance pass, notwithstanding
the objections of the Mayor ?"
The yeas and nays were ordered, and are as
follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Bernhard, Brooke, Hamilton,
Ha3holen, Rocker, Meyer, Stahl, Shoemaker
and Weaver-9.
NAYS —M es srs. Verbeke and Hickok-2.
So the question was determined in the affirm
ative.
The Council shortly afterwards
Adjourned.

One Pusr.ra &BOOM-Our citizens should feel
the highest degree of gratification for the ad
vantage they possess in the system of public
schools now in operation in this place. Under
the careful supervision of the board of direct
ors, the utmost caution.. is manifested in the
selection of teachers, and we venture to say
that there is not a city in the State of Pennsyl
vania blest with more competent teachers in
their public schools. Fully realizing the great
responsibility devolving upon individuals, our
instructors, both male and female, appear to
devote their entire time and attention in di
directing the interests of the schools over which
they exercise authority. As a general thing,
also, the pupils are very much attached to their
teachers, and thereforefore a mutual intercourse
is maintained eminently conductive to devel
opment of the scholars and the advancement
of them in all branches of study taught.—
Where such a condition of things exists in pub
lic schools failure of success is an impossibility.
Our public institutions of learning have grad
ually advanced into popularity, and are now
held in universal esteem by our citizens. We
are exceeding rejoiced at the indications, and
feel quite sure that there will be no diminution
of exertion on the part of the directors to in
crease the advantages our schools afford the
public, and to make them as attractive as in
stitutions boasting higher prerogatives.
Tem Was Eavaaoss.—The rage for envelope
decorated with patriotic or other embellish
ments, seems to be subsiding. Letters travel
without the protection of a flag, and portraits
of distinguished personages cease to occupy the
corner opposite to the physiognomy of Wash
ington. Curious speculators, says the U. S.
Mail,have accumulated a great variety of speci-
MOOD of thee." - illaetre►tod --envelops; - and the
time will doubtless come when such collections
will be examined with the utmost intereft by
A ntiqn ar fans desirous of getting a glimpse of
the feelings and humors of our times, as they
were displayed during the great civil war of
the Western continent. What a remarkable
jumble of patriotism, sentiment, humor end
animosity does such a collection present ! Old
letters are valued, not only for the memory of
their writers, but for the historical and bio ,
grapical matter which they contain. And even
envelops, their dry husks, which enclosed a
precious kernel, become themselves fresh with
vitality when they bear upon their faces marks
of the feelings of a groat nation. The modern
writers of history, with more comprehensive
views than many of their predecessors, do not
regard the life of a nation as consisting entirely
in the intrigues of its rulers and their struggles
for power, but consider the doings of the peo
ple in their various relations, domestic, com
mercial, and the like, as of equal importance
to the completion Of th- record.

firm, Mr. C. S. Bowman, has just returned from
New York and Philadelphia, with a carefully

embracing all the new styles, to which we re
