At the opening of the December term of the Court of Quarter Sessions, yesterday, Judge Mellon delivered a very ablo charge to the Grand Jury, in which he laid before them a full exhibit of the condition of the County Finances, in hopes that they might bo able to derise some plan to lessen tho burthen of tax ation, especially as regards our railroad lia bilities. We would bo pleased to lay the document In fall before onr readers, but a press of matter.cenfines us to an abstract of its most important features: , “The entire assessed value of taxable property of . 'all kinds within the county and the two cities is t $27,055,033. This property will Subject to county rates and levies, and Is divided as regards the cities and,rural district of the county as follows, viz: Solid district, including all boroughs and villages™.A ™ '513,615,066 City Of Pittsburgh : 10,634,703 Allegheny City ™ 3,703,641 Total™ ™.«. $27,055,033 “The next matter for examination is our debts and liabilities.

Judge Mellon then goc« on to any that the borough and townsphip “ local debt* ” are not included in-4ho above; neither bare the yearly taxes for ordinary expenses, and county and,city purposes, entered at all into tho -cal culation.

City of Pittsburgh ....to'-j Allegheny city 37 * Jpdge Mellon, uflcremarking that .next year's taxation will be about doable the aver age income of real estate, refers to our railroad .bond suits, by which, in the main,-the bonds hare been held to be valid. He referred at length to the decision of the Sapremo Court in the case of Hunond vs. Lawrence county, in whieb it is held'that, in equity, the bond ... holders can only recover upon the amount ac tanUy paid for tho bonds. Wo quote as fol lows “y . «This, in jny humble opinion, affords a very <> important remedy to this tax-ridden commu • n ity. In few Instances did oar bonds-bring their par, or their limited value to the rospec. tire oompuniei. In most instances they wore parted with, as we ail know, at ruinous sacri gcei> In some, nay many instances, hypoth ecated and sold at nominal prices; in other instances', purloined or embezzled. One in stance has fallon within oar knowledge, when two hundred thousand dollars of the Common wealth bonds netted tbo company just twenty nine and one-half cents on the dollar; and '-some other instances of smaller amounts, ■ vhere less was obtained. - /‘A» tho proceeding ncco/eary to apply this remedy would pfobably bo by bill in the Su preme Court, making the boniholders and railroad company, and city, or county, par ties, and enjoining a suspension of all other suits, elsewhere, and a .stay' of proceedings to levy the tax for the full nominal amount anUl the real.amount la settled and ascer tained, the saving matter of costs alono would be immense. As it stands now, every bondholder brings his separate suit on his ■ particular coupons—*nd os in such suit the remedy indicated above can hardly bo applied, and .whether or not, suits and costs are ac.- pnmulated to ah oppressive extent,!' The subject of a compromise is noxt dia - mused, and commended to the consideration of the Orand Jury. A Contention of the ’ People Is also suggested, to consult in refer ence to the matter, but above all, speedy,ac tion of some kind Is urged, as the treasuries erenowpractically-in the hands of the Sheriff or United/States Marshal, ?o*-vhow that there is no wa/hf escape, the Judge says : , , “Ground rents and first 'mortgages must stand back till the bondholder's claims are . - satisfied out‘bf the fund. And U the property doe* not sell for enough to satisfy his claim 'fn fgU/it can be sold over again In the hands of the purchaser to satisfy the arrearage, and may be sold over and over again, year alter year, as often as InUrestor Principal falls duo, hntilthewholfri*s»tisge4 f #ootberincum h>ranee is endowod with lacbattribptps; sn4 no oxattption law protects against its rapacity. iThe tax gatherer may sell tbo blankotthat protects your risk child from tho storm, and , : then lodge yon in a coJt fo tho county jaiL Such * isth*effbetpfboldingsuchdo}*,toboeptjmated and colteoted as rates and levies for otficr tax purposes aro eolloctod hero tho necessity -. .for prompt action, to obtain the best terms that may be had, or to redeem our liability to Its minimum; and there is no occasion for fafloetiohs against bondholder. It is not his fault that wo arp Jp ipsb predicament." Judge MoUon also calls the gttp4t)Po oflhe Grand July to a minor matter, which it might be well for them to investigate— to wit: the reported appropriation of *5.q00, out of tho coantr funds, to dofray the expenses incurred by A late Board of County Commissioners in resisting the decrees of the Supreme Court This matter will douhUest be attended to, and the fhets given to the public. We may jUtc, in r this connection, that - - should the. present Grand Jury act updo ite . suggestion* of the Court, and file a Bill in jgjttiy id the'Supreme Court, the next step will be to stay ill-proceedings npon railroad bonds, nntil tbe bill is finally disposed of. This can be done by an injunction from tbe United States Circuit Court, and time will thus be given for negotiations tending towards a compromise, should tbe bondholders cheose to treat with their creditors in this matter. Should tt~tasis of compromise be fixed, however, tbo Grand call a Con vention of the People, as suggested by .Judge Mellon, and bare the matter ratified by the public voice. Either alternative most be taken quickly, as our necessities demand prompt action.' The Grand Jury is composed of good and prudent men—many of them men of intelligence and great practical ability— -and it is hoped that they may- be able to do something to relievo us from the railroad in -cubus. The Battle at Drainesville***Addi tional Detail*. A Washington correspondent gives some interesting 'additional details of the battle at Drainesville, which has earned snch high praise for our gallant Pennsylvania troops. We quoto as follows : From prisoners taken it was ascertained that the rebels had information the previous night that General Ord’s were coming out in tho morning, and the force un der Colonel Hunter, of the Tenth Alabama rugiment, started from Ccntreville for tho par pose of making tho attack. They left Cen treville about the same time that General Ord started from his camp. After the foragers .bad been set at work, Gen. Ord's command was proceeding along the Leesburg pike to Drainesville, somo dis tance beyond. The advance had already en tered the village, and the “Bucktails" were about to do so, when a rebel field battery ofsix guns was discovered unUmbering upon a road leading from Centrcville into the Leesburg pike, a short distance from Drainseville. Tho position of tho battery was about threo hun dred yards from the pike, and jnst within the edge of a dense wood, between which and the pike the ground had been cleared, hut waß covered with rank undergrowth. ■ »At the same moment rebol infantry wore discovered occu pying a grove, of about a quarter of an aero t in extent, upon the loft of the battery, and i about half way between it and the pike. These were subsequently ascertained to bo the First Kentucky regiment, commanded by Col. Tom Taylor, of Frankfort. The principal part of tho'rogiment Is from Loaisvillo. The “Backtail” regiment, under Lioat. Col. -Kane, was immediately directed to charge • upon this thickot. It was gallantly done. The rebels reserved their firo until the “Buck tails" wero within fifty yards ; but tho Penn sylvanians did not return tho fire until they bad approached about twenty yards nearer, when thoy delivered a stunning volley, which put to Sight tho party in the grove-. In the meantimo other regiments—the Ninth,. Tenth and Sixth Pennsylvania re serves —were formed, skirmishers wero thrown ont on either side, and a chargo was made through tho cleared ground towards the wood, which was occupied by the robel battery, sup ported by the Eleventh Kentucky and Tenth Alabama regiments and a body of cavalry. At the same moment that the infantry was ordered to form, Captain Easton placed bis four guns in position on the right of the pike, immeuiately opposite the opening of tho road from Controville, and precisely opposite the rebel battery. Captain Easton commenced firing briskly. Ilia first shell struck one of tho enemy’s caissons and caused an explosion of its contents, by .whiah sovcral of the rebels were killed and wounded. Our four gdns were worked with wonderful rapidity and precision. Tho enemy's balls and shells camo thick and : fast, bat wero fired too high. One of them burst immediately over Easton’s battery, but most' of them passed over and struck in a ploughed field behind. Not a single one of oar artillerymen was woanded. The'rcbcls retired beforo the chargo, and Captain Easton moved up two of his guns to the position tho rebel batterry had originally occupied. After the battle, a party was detailed to col lect the dead and woanded of the enemy. Fifty-sevon dead wero collected, and twenty two wounded were bronght from tho field. Three of them died while thoy were being re moved, and fifteen others of them wero mor tally wounded. Eight unwounded prisoners were taken. Among tho dead was one socond lieutenant of the First Kentucky regiment. From the prisoners it was learned that sev eral officers were killcd,-bat thoy had been* carried bock from the field. Among them was Colonel Taylor. A number of dead soldiers were also carried away,-and all tho wound ed- who could bear removal. In tho grove first occupied by Colonel Taylor's regiment there wore found twenty-one dead bodies. I n the vicinity of tho rebel battery, at which tho fire of onr artillery was chiefly directed, the bodies Were much mangled, some of them with the heads completely shot away. t Onr men bobaredmost gallantly. Early in the action one of the “Buck Tails’’ had hi? cheek shot away by a sholl, but fought on to the eonolneion of the battle. Lieut. Col. Kane was slightly wounded in the cheek by a fragment of a shell. The rebels were provided with an aband onee of provisions in their haversacks, com posed of boiled fresh beef, and biscuits, snch as the soldiers take for themselves. Their clothing was principally eotton cloth. Their overcoats were of gray cottoQ, lined with heavy Osnaburg. Some hundred yards in tho rear of tho ori ginal position of the rebel battery was found an immense pile of blankets, ovorcoats, re volvers, haversacks, and other luggage, show- Htog that tho rebels hod stripped for tho fight, and had not time to stop to pick up their traps in their flight. $ 202/47 2^00,000, 810,300 2,124 $1,034,020 1,203,450 1,800,000 540,000 3,000 The grand concert announced for Thursday evening will doubtless concentrate an over flowing audience at Lafayette Hall, and we have every reason to bclievo that those attend will enjoy a rich mosical treat. Tho St. Lonis Republican thus speaks of Md'me. Crivclll and her talented assistants : “Md’me. Crivolli, we can only brieQy say at present, seemed last evening to be a pretty young lady, very nearly hid in a voluminous yellow silk dross, with a voice of mnch swoet nessy&nd one of that character which devolops new beauties upon a more intimate acquaint ance. Her ‘Homo sweet Homo/ which sho sang in response to an encore, gave great sat isfaction to the audience, and seemed bettor calculated to display tho richnoss of her voice .than her previous selections from—Vordi and iDonitetti. Judging from all tho circum stances attending this, bor first appearance in this city, it is safo to conclude that in tho event the intended programme of tho man agement is carried out, Md’mo. Crivclli will become highly popular in tho estimation of musio-loving St. Louisans. Of tho other ar tistes, it is sufficient to say they are all first class.

Wo noticed, a few days since, tho disoovory of tho romians of a female in tho canal, in Duqucsno borough, and the subsequent iden tification at tho cemetery, where the body was about to bo interrod. Tho nnfortunato wothap, it was Mporttipcd, was the wife of a huckster named MoGreely, and rcsidod with him-at Butcher’s Bun, , near the toll gate. Previous to tho identification, an inquest was hold by the Coroner, and the conclusion ar rived at was that she had accidentally fell into tbe-capal and was drowned.

Wh v our “Big Guns” are uot Used, i _ . , „ -—~„ It has been a matter of surprise to many Incidents of the Battle of Draines- .... .. 1 / v ||| e why the two mammoth guns, made at the , Liout. George W. Pierfee, of Company C, Thirty-Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, (9th ' reserves,) has arrived at furlough, and having been in the battle at Drainesrille, gives some interesting incidents -of the en gagement. Cot. Kano's “Buck Tail Rifles" were in advance of the foragiug expedition, as skirtu- - ishers, afliLfirst encountered tho enemy in the - woods. They fell back on Col. Jaekson's 1 regiment, which was immediately ordered to take - the advance. When the timber was : reached, the enemy was discovered only about t twenty-five yards distant, but the Thirty- j Eighth feared to fire, thinking that the men bo closely upon them might be the “Buck ! Tails," who nad bceh sent to flank the enemy. I Capt. Galway (of the Government Guards) demanded the men to show their colors, when j a secession- flag was displayed, and a volley 1 fired into the Pittsburgh boys, who returned 1 it with vigor, standing in line of battle and j firing at will. The enemy fired three volleys, ! without wounding a man on our side, while our boys did good execution. Thus the fight; opened. I Private. Sexton, of Co. E., (Chartiers Val ley Guards) who was killed in tho battlo, was a resident of Pittsburgh, and tho only j one killed from this vicinity. The other ; man killed in this regiment (private Stock dale) was a member of Capt. Dick’s company, from Crawford county. Liout. pierco states that Corporal Alex. Smith, of Co. A, (Pittsburgh Rifles) was wounded in tho breast, and it is feared' ho cannot survive. He resided in Allegheny city. Colonel Jackson, Lieut. Colonel Anderson, Major Snodgrass and Captfftna*. Shannon, Dick, BroOkbank, Barnes, Galway and Cuth bertson, all distinguished themselves in the action. At tho first fire, Lieut. Col. Ander son’s horse took fright ani threw him; he rose aud with commendable coolness led his men forward on foot. Col. Jackson also dis mounted and went into the fight on foot, urg ing on his command nobly, though this was scarcely necessary, as ovory man seemed “eager for tho fray.” Major Snodgrass’ horse was wounded early in the engagement, and he wak obliged to dismount, but never forgot his dutios. There were numerous in stances of personal courage and daring, and -not a man was seen to flinch. Pennsylvania may well feel proud of the victory gained by her stalwart sons at Drainesville. Seven privates of Copt. Galway’s company were slightly wounded; five of Capt. Dick’s, and five of Capt. Shannon’s (Co. E, Iron City Guards), viz: Privates Barker, Stewart, Ern est, Logan and McKco, none, however, being seriously injured. Privato Stewart had his haversack string and cantoon cut away by a ball, which passed , through the wadding of his vest and under bis arm (inflicting a slight flesh wound), ! which was raised in.tho act of loading his k piece. Another member of tho same company had his mdsket bent nearly double by a Min | me ball, which lodged iu the barrel while he , had his piece in a position to cqp. Finding his piece useless ho threw it over his shoulder, I seized one belonging to the enemy and still 3 took his part in tho fight. Lieut. Pierco l brought the gun home as a momento of the f fight. The Concert. .Decease of Another Soldier. Privato John lloffman, of Co. B, Colonel Black’s Regiment, died on Monday last, and his body has been sent here for enterment. A coVrespondont of'tho Pott wites os follows, under date of tho 17th iust: “Tho day has been brgbt and beautiful, but my thoughts hnvo been gloomy, and my heart is sad. I bavo jußt returned from Washington, whore I wont to send the corpso of Corporal John Hoffman, of Co. B, to hie poor mother in Birmingham. He died on Monday morning, at 4 o'clock, after about ten days sickness. The disease at first was typoid fever, but a few hoars before his death, hemorrhage of the bowels sot in, which car 'Tied him off despite the efforts of tho surgoon. Thus another “dew drop" has ceased to spar klo on tho wavo of timo, anothor “lamb" has gono to enter the fold above, and another brother, so young, scarco twenty years, whom ro all loved, has been taken from my own company. No wonder I foci sad. This is thirty men lost out of tho regiment by death." nnd WelNSclcctcd An Extensive Stock of Books. l Wo havo boon much pleased by a visit to Bookstore of Mr. R. S. Davis, Wood street, corner of Diamond Alley. On tho counters and along -the shelves wu find a most exteoeive and well-selected stock of American and English Books. Tho editions of both Home and Foreign works areas choice, as tho authors aro standard and unexceptionable. R. 5.

A most at tractive stock of Juvenile Books, both of llomo and Foreigu production, is here otferod to the public; also of Illustrated Editions of Standard Authors, from which Good Nature, Liberality, Friendship and Affection may select tho Gifts and Offerings which the gonial requirements of the season demand. Embalming Bodies at Washington. Mr. James Onslow, attached to Col. Black’s Reglmont, in a lato lotter to tho Po* r , gives the following useful information : “For the information of those of your read ers who may bo unfortunate enough to loose friends in the army, and who desire to havo their bodies sent home, I would state that the embalming process has been brought to groat l>crfcction in Washington, by Dr. Thomas iolmes, who, in connection with Mr. Anthony Buchly, undertaker, will embalm and forward bodies to any part of the Union. 1 have wit nessed tho operation, os well as its effects, and can testify to the fact of tho design being fully accomplished. The corpse retains, for an in definite period, ite, natural and life-like ap-~ pearance, while it isalsoonlireiy freo from any unpleasant odor. Tho cost of embalming is now less than formerly, being ut present fifteen dollars, wbilo a coffin of any style or prico de sired will bo furnishod. The Adams Express Company charge twenty-five dollars for trans portation from Washington to Pittsburgh. The Crimtnai. Court. Tho Court oL Quarter Sessions met this morning at ten clock, when the Grand Jury for tbo December torm was sworn. J. W. Blackburn was chosen Foreman, after which Judge Mellon delivered an Important charge, the substance of which is olitowhere reported.

Davis, Wood street, baa laid on our tablo one of tho most beautiful Christmas presents which tho season can produce. So exquisite a stylo of production of so exquisite a scries of stories as those, fully justifies us in Buying so much in behalf of these volumes. Every story in this series of Christmas Books has already delighted thousands and tens of thousands of readers; but they are os fresh in thoir intorest, as genial in theirapirit, as pleasant in their vein of story-telling power, as ever—nor will a reporusal, especially with such luxurious adjuncts of typo and paper as this edition presents, be less than a renewing of past delight, to oithor old or young. Wo heartily eommond tho Christmas Stories as one of the moat appropriate gift-books of tho season. _ lUcrXB fobJaHOabt. —Mr. W. A.

Fort Pitt Works, in this city, have never ' been put to any u?e. A correspondent, writ- • ing from .Washington, gives the reason—that “no apparatus has yet been devised for mount- - iug them l" These guns, which are per- | haps Jhe largest in the world, are beginning ; to oxcite'some attention, in view of a war ' with England. The corresponden t alluded to,says : “While the report of the board of naval captains upon iron-clad armed steamers savs that the latter cannot reduce a well-roustruo ted fort, it is admitted, in the same quarter, that such vossels as the Black Warrior and La Gloire, can safely pass the forts that are erected for defence of our great harbor. In other words, the guns are not of sufficient calibre te destroy the iron shield ofsaid ships, and of others like thenS It is'a matter of doubt whether the celebrated eleven-inch gun of Capt. Dablgren would effect such an ob ject, even if rifled, and while it is thought that the fiftoen-inch Rodman gun, (throwing a four hundred pound ball,) might, if put in position, it is stated that no apparatus has i yot been devised for properly mounting and I working it. There are two of this class of j ordnance at Fortress Monroe. If, then, a | war with England is to bo precipitated upon I us, it will become necessary at once to obstruct | the channels to the harbors of the country." Are these mammoth guns to rust in the sand at Fortress Monroe, for want of tho means to use them? Pittsburgh ingenuity will mount the guns, if the Government hut speaks the word. Panorama op the War. —This beautiful panorama, illustrating the fall of Sumter, and all thn most prominent battles which have taken place np till quite recently, was exhib ited for the first time iu this city last evening, at Masonic Hall. It is said to be a very fine work of art, and will doubtless, as it deserves, draw large and appreciative audiences every oveoing. Those of our readers who wish to spend an evoning both profitably and pleas antly, cannot do bettor than visit Masonic Hall. A Lightening Trice Pantomime, called tho “Night Owl," will se produced at tho theatre to-night, after a week’s rehearsal, with splendid now dresses, scenery, properties, etc. Mr. Maffit personates tho clown, wuich should satisfy all that- it will only bo -necessary to visit the theatre to enjoy a hearty langh. “Beauty aud the Beast," a musical piece, will also be performed to-night. To-morrow a performance will bo given at 2 o’clock in ihe afternoon. Christmas snow has fallen and covers the ground, tho weather is gotting very cold ; to onjoy a good comfortable lire iaa desideratum, but a good warm bed is an article of groat necessity. Mr. J.

Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, from the Com mittee on Ways and Moans, asked leave to report a bill to increase tho duties on tea, cof feo and sugar. It proposes a doty on tea of all kinds of 20« per pound ; on coffee sc ; and sugars 2M?i 3e, andsj£c, according to quali ty. Molasses fieper gallon. ‘ Mr. Vallandigham objocted to the intro duction of tho bill, hot on motion of Mr. Morrill the rales were suspended for that purpose. Mr. Morrill said that this bill was simply in accordance with the rocommedation of the Secretary of tho Treasury. It was supposed that the incomes proposed would yield seven i or eight millions of dollars, provided the ! same quantities of the article be imported as in 1869. The bill ought to be passed at once, in order to seenre the sugar crop immediately coming into the country, and the tea and cof fee soon expected to arrive. The price of these articles have already risen in anticipa tiqn of tho passage of this bin. bo the con sumers pay just as if the bill was already a law of the land. Tho Committee of Ways and Means intend bringing in a supplemental tariff bill for the further increase of tho rev enue, when tho general sulyect will ‘como np for discussion. Mr. Vallandigham briefly opposed the bill. By tho increase of duties these articles will be absolutely interdicted. Already in tho west four bushels of corn are necessary to buy ono pound of coffee.- The imports of foreign mcrchanize are millions loss than they wore years ago. This subjoot should be posponed until a proper tariff system should bo adopted to meet the necessities of the country and its changed condition.
