ASSAITLT WITH 1 CLOSED Kelm—A tavern keeper named Ernest Faulhaber, residing on Chesnut street, Allegheny, yesterday evening made information before Mayor Drum, charg ing Thomas Steirneugel with an aggravated assault and batterY.

At• the door he pulled out an old dirk knife, with a heavy handle, and grasping it firmly in his hand, he brought the blade end down with tremendous effect upon Faulhaber's head, inflicting an ugly scalp wound. The accused wan unable to give bail, and was committed for trial.

The Explosion of the Advance. -The towboat Hornet, dispatched on Thurs day to bring up the wounded by the ezpl o eion of the towboat Advance, arrived here on Sat _ urday night, bringing the wounded and the empty barges. We learn that the first engineer, known as "Dutch Mike," wet on watch at the time of the explosion, and was about to change off with the second, Wm. King. Ho had -garm ent to oil the shaft, first throttling the engine. and had scarcely Beached the wheel when the explosion took place. He escaped without the slightest injury, the force of the explosion be ing forward. King, the second engineer, was pretty se verely burned about the face and hands. The captain was not on board, one of the pilots, named Steward, being acting -captain; be escaped with a severe burn on the right hand. The other pilot, N. Slinefelter, was asleep, his head and one arm lying over the edge of the bed. His face and arm wore terribly scalded, and it is believed that be inhaled steam. .He died of his injuries on Friday morning, some hours after the arrival of the Hornet, after being removed to that boat. 11; Meanor, the mate, was also asleep in his berth. The explosion carried him up through the hurricane roof, and on coming down be lit with his feet on the sound boiler, and, being stunned, remained there perhaps a minutei - untit his feet were literally roast ed; his hands were also 'badly burned in getting down. ' The. cooks, a colored man and his assist ant, a colored boy, were Sleeping in the same berth. The boy escaped, but the man could not extricate-himself, and was burned up with the boat. One of the firemen is also missing, and is auppostal to have heed blown overboard and drowned. The second engineer and mate were left at Rochester, where tit!) , reside. Craig Was left at Freedom, in charge of his brother, who will take him to his father's house, some dis lane. from the river. , Rim;injuries are not very serious. The two IrWins were loft at their home on the river opposite Eeoriry. One of the firemen was brought _ to the city, and left at his brother's on the wharf, to be taken to the Hospital to-day. The colored boy (cook) who was seriously scalded, was taken to his home in one of the upper whrds Mr. Klinefelter's remains were taken t -his residence at East Liberty. The first engineer, we understand, will Ice himself op to the Inspectors, to await as in vestigation. He states that he was carrying one hundred and twenty pounds of steam, and had plenty of water, but the explosion is al leged to have resulted from a scarcity of water and high pressure of steam. Eseape'of Four Prisoners from the Western Penitentiary. On Sunday, about midnight, four prisoners escaped from the-Penitentiary, in Allegheny, and are still at large. Their names are Wil- Liam Stephens, Jamas Cross, George Agey and George Talbot. The three first named are quite young, and will be remembered in connection with. - the robbery of Laufman's hardware store, on Wood street. They were tried and sentenced together, and occupied the same cell, in connection with Talbot, who is from Cambria — county. . They gained amiss to the yard by removing the iron plate .from their cell window, after which they sealed the wall and escaped. The plate was removed by picking around the bolts with the ends of their shuttles, and it is supposed that one or the other of them must have been constantly at work during the night, for several months .past. • These lads areleckless and daring, and pre rione to their arrest they bad been ehargisd .with numerous thefts, but always managed to escape deteetion until they committed the ex tensive larceny for which they were sentenced to penitentiary. - Mort, are .now making to have them re-arrested. The following is a description of them; as' left at tho Mayor's office: William Stephens, alias LeFoxier Stephens; sentenced from, Allegheny county.

Aerie of Ask Oar BooTc'Th~ie Fort Lenvette; or, Loge and i Secerelon. A Novel, • By Boo Joplin Wobd. New York 7 Carleton ante. Budd and Carleton). 1862. Pittaborgb : for sale by Henry. Miner, Fifth Street. It is well knosin that when any accident makes a person famous, in modern times, one of the first suggestions made to hitd by his friends, or the booksellers, Is, that he has an excellcit chance to write a book that, while his name is "before the public," "any book of hinis sure to take,"=so let him Improve the golden opportunity, and remember that— ' , There Iss tide to the albite of men, Which, taken at the good tea& on to fortune. Hence the remarkable development of book manufacture in recent times. The ,persons who have already achieved fame ore not greatly indisposed, generally, to add "solid pudding," in the shape of the promised profits, to the "empty preisis,"_of which they have had possession long enough to know by expe rience the hitherto incredible fact that it is empty I Following the disillusion, which has probably bean uncomfortable, no item of after knowledge that 'could be communicated, is probably more consolatory to some, than to know wherewithal the "emptiness" aforesaid may be Wed. Another feature of this notable modern usage, is, that Infamy is just as good and as promising a basis of success as honorable fame,—and an enterprising publisher can promise a traitor, a pirate, or a highwayman, provided that his crimes have made him suf ficiently notorious, just as successful a career of authorship, in the sensational line of liter-• ary effort, as if his character were of a better kind. Indeed, a still stronger assertion might be made, and it would be still nearer the gen eral experience in this - matter:--that is to say, the more infamous the character of the author and his subject, the more promising will be the enterprise—the more profitable the sensation. • The book, whose title is given above, is an illustration of our remarks. The New York Herald, we observe, and some other papers, have been helping the "Hon. Ben. Wood" in this book-epterprise ; but further than the foregoing observations may subserve that pur pose, we shall not try to patronize either the work or its author. Au AMicted Family The family of Mr. Jacob Gerhart, of Ham burg, Berks county, has bee singularly afflict ed during the past *fortnight. In the Bret place, four promising grand-children, ;the children of his son-in-law, Jesse Hein; of Windsor township, died within two weeks, of the throat disease that Is so fatal in its rav ages in that neighborhood. One, a daughter, twelve years old, was buried about two weeks ago, and on Thursday last, the three others, aged respectively, le, 17 and 5 years, were laid in one grave ; while another child of the same parents were lying hopelessly ill. . The next sorrow occurred to his eon, Tobias Ger hart, a much respected resident of Perry tp., whose mind became so deeply affected by trouble and misfortune, that it was found necessary to take him to the State Asylum at Harrisburg; and on the very morning that the father went on his way there, one of his children, a grown-up daughter, died of throat disease. These are indeed sore trials, for a single family. Business at Oil City. The Oil City Register ups "The oil busi ness has been pretty brisk during the past week, and a considerable amount has gone forward to All previous contracts. The ship ments to the railroad are diminishing some what, from the fact that .shippers cannot got it forward. Otntlemen who are pretty we❑ posted inform us that it will take the railroad a month to forward the amount now stored at the different shipping stations. Quite a large amount is now being sent down to this place in anticipation of a rise in the river. We heard of some persons who are authorized to pur chase from 15,000 to 20,000 barrels—terms not transpired. The prices ruling in Pittsburgh are very low. The last quotations we heard of were from 7 to 10 cents." THE NATIONAL SCHOOL lull TON SOLDIER.— This little book, is a neat and useful manual for the soldier, on the catechetical method of instruction. It is very likely to be servicea ble to those who would seek to improve them selves by private study, as it affords a reedy means of self-examination, so that one can continually test his proficiency, and accurate ly put down the proper marks to show-bow he is making progress. Capt. Van Neon, the author, seems to have done his part very well, and certainly the publisher, Mr. Carleton, of New York, has done his equally well. It is a likely V0111140,-00131plICLIII site, and sub stantially. bound. Hr. Henry iner, Fifth street, is the agent fur Pittsburgh. OIL Vs. OEESZ.—A fanner, residing tip the Allegheny river, who has been in the habit of bringing to this market, every winter, a few sackfrof geese feathers, came down last weak without his annual crop. The merchant to whom he sells his produce inquired of the farmer the-cause of the failure, when the I► 4 ter informed him that Ids farm is bottom land on the Allegheny and his geese disport in the river, bat the oil which covers its surface from the . oa.Cfaik.Welle utterly rained the crop of feathers, miming them, when plucked, to stick togethertria:aronglomerated mass, rendering them entirely worthless. This is a singular fact, but dylubtless true. AROTRZE BRSCRVE CORPS CONTLIPLATRD. -It is stated that an informal intimation has been received at Harrisburg from the War De partment, that it would 'be gratified to see another_body of reserve troops raised in Penn sylvania, to the number say of ten thousand. These, if any now, could 'be used to re inforce any column that might need assistance; or, in ease their services are not required in this way, they might take the place of the seasoned and disciplined troops used to garri son Annapolis, Frederick and Baltimore, and thus permit the latter to join the grand army when it advances.

RAILROAD FIREMAN KILLED.--011 Saturday night a collision oecarred on the Pennsylva nia Railroad, near Latrobe, between two freight trains, both•going east, which resulted In the death of .Samuel Eiebor, fireman, who was thrown froM the tender by the Jar, and crushed to death between the bumpers. - lie was forty-one 'years of ege, and resided on Smith street, in the Ninth Ward, where ho leaves a wife and family. A Gomm or Oti.--The wagons from Oil Creek are now tinloading their oil half a mile from the Garlind Station, beingnnable to get nearer for want of room to pile their barrels. The railroad is using its beat efforts to get the oil on as fast as possible. This oil WSJ con tracted for some time since. AKOIIIER DESSITiII ARIESTED.—Hirom Wyningi a deserter from Colonel Wynkoop'i 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, now in Kentucky, was arrested in Harrisburg on Thwiday, and committed to prison to await the requisition of the military authorities. A MISTAZT.--Capt. Thomas Espy, of th St. Clair Guards, is not kt home or. a visit to his family, as stated. The mistake originated in the fact that Col.

George Reynolds, charged with complicity in the attack upon C. B. Bostwick, had a hearing befor Mayor Sawyer to-day, and was discharged. The testimony did not serve to throw mach light on the affair, except in this-, that George did not aid and abet hie brother Reuben Reynolds. • . We were incorrect in stating that Smith had knocked Reuben Reynolds down with an axe handle. Smith testified that ha had raised the axe handle to strike him, but some person behind caught it and prevented the blow. Ile remarked that if he had been permitted to strike, the police would - not have had much trouble in making the arrest. ' It was also in evidence that a shot was fired by Reynolds—but "who did it?" is a question not yet satisfactorily answered. Smith, in his testimony,lstates that Reuben Reynolds, after being put out of the-bar-room, threatened to I shoot somebody betbre he left the place, and I after firing one shot in front of the door, call , ed for Smith tacome out, B 4 be had six mere I charges left. Ills conduct was reckless in,the extreme, and calls for the severest punish= I went.' Ile is still at large, audwe believe the police have given up the search for him. Mr. Bostwick continues in about the same condition. The ball still remains in the neck, but no immediate apprehensions are felt for his safety. The assault upon him was as un provoked as it was brutal, and might' have been attended with the most serious cionse quences, not only with_ himself, but to others. Let us hope that the police will not relax their I efforts until the offender is apprehended.- Collision on the Allegheny One night last week, the tow boat Coegrave collided with the little steamer Cottage, on the-Allegheny river, doing considerable dam age to the' latter boot. The Cottage was on her way to Oil creek, antl was in the act of raising her chimneys after having passed ihe Freeport aqueduct. The Cusgrave was de scending, .and was "rounding to" above the duck, to lay up until daylight. While cross ing the stream, she ran dead against the side of the Cottage, breaking twenty-nine of 'her timbers, pitching some of herpassengers out of their berths, and creating no little excite ment on board. Their fears were soon quieted by the report that the boat was not taking water, and after some little delay she proceeded' o her destination, and returned to this city on Saturday, where she is undergo ing repairs. It is said that the Coegrave was signaled, but did not answer—some one on board crying oni—"back that boat." The smoke from the chimney butts prevented the pilot of the Cot tage from seeing the Cosgrave until she was within a few rods of the guards. It was im possible for the Cottage to back down, as she might have struck on the piers below, and' perhaps have gone topieces. The Coegrave received very little injury, and $2OO will re pair the damage to the Cottage. Da. .1. H.

Upton, of Va., offered a reso- Baton that the Committee on Elections be in structed to summon before them the conductor and one or more of the commissioners who held the election at Ball's Cross Roads on the 23d of May last. Ile remarked that it would only be fair to him whose seat was in voiced in this ease that this-should be done, and it would occasion but little, if any, delay. The Committee had fallen into a grave error. . • Mr. Davis, of Mass., replied that this case was submitted to the Committee in July'last. The gentleman bad had several hearings .be fore the Committee, and every opportunity was given him to submit any lestiniony he desired. During this session the case had assumed a new form. Another gentleman was here contesting the seat. They were ..both given a number of days in which to take tes timony in such eases. They went on in the manner stated in report, and what they did is a curiosity. The gentleman, Mr. Upton, took the 'depositions of those very persons be de sired to be summoned before the Commit tee. If the gentleman wanted to procure testimony besides that which has been taken and printed, the committee would, of course, oblige him, but there was no use of going over the same ground again, if, as he remark ed, the Committee had fallen into a gave error, and if this was palpable, it would cer tainly be made known in the consideration of the question. Mr. Delano, of Mass. advocated the reso lution. Ile thought the request of the . gen tleman a reasonable one. Mr. Wright, of Pa., said that Mr. Upton came from a district of disloyal people in Virginia,. and hence he appealed to the gener osity of Mr. Dawes to allow him further time to examine witnesses. Mr. Dawes replied that they were acting in a judicial capacity. They bad beard the tes timony of these two men onceiand they had no objection to hearing them again. The gentleman (Mr. Tipton.) claimed only ten votes. The Committee were willing to admit that ten persons voted for him atßall's Cross Roads. Mr. Upton—But you deny their validity. Mr. Dawes replied that it was for the House. to determine whether, under thecircumtances, and from the manner in which the votes were cast, it was • legal election. Besides there was a man waiting outside for the seat - who obtained sever times the number of votes Mr. Upton received. Mr. Delano reminded him that the gentle man who contests the seat was not a candidate at tha same election. Mr. Dawes knew this, but it appeared that a new election could be held in Virginia at any time. , He further opposed the monition, which was subsequently laid on tbo table. Mr. Lovejoy, of 111., offered the following: Wacazas, It has been asserted in this House that five Illinois regiments did, on the occasion of learning the contents of the report of Secretary Cameron, lay down their arms in token of their rennet to fight ; therefore.; be it Resolved, That the Committee on the Con-:- duct of the War inquire into the alleged fact, and report to Congress. Mr. Fouke, of 111., desiring to discuss the subject, it went over under the rules. On motion of Mr. Baker the following reeo 'talon was adopted : Resolved, That the Committee on Post Af fairs and Poet Roads be requested to inquire into the propriety and 'expediency of estab lishing, by, law, a system for the free receipts, and delivery by postmen, of all mail matter in cities containing upwards of 10,000 inhab itants, in conformity with the admirable and economical postoffice system of the principal countries of Europe. The House proceeded to act on the Senate amendment to tho House-bill, making an ap propriation for completing the defenses of Washington, and which amendment provides that no volunteer or militia in any State shall be mustered into service on any grounds or condition, and confined to service within• the limit, of any State or vicinity, and if any vol unteers or militia have been thus mustered into service, they be discharged. A running discussion followed, in which it was maintained on the one side that Home Guards were necessary in Missouri, Ken tucky and Maryland, official permission hav ing already been made to that end, and on the other that no troops had the right to ask for specialm f o otin g.e ca privils, but all should be placed on t The House finally.disagraed to the above Senate amendment, by a vote of kfi yeas to S 6 The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the Treas ury Nate Bill. Mr. Vallantligham, of Ohio 7 made a speech on the subject,against the bill and in-favor of his substitute.— Mr.. Hooper Made an able speech in exposi ion of the polity of the Treasury Department Adjourned. Svtarr.—Mr. Wade, of Ohio, presented the joint resolution instructing members of .Con gress from that state to nee their efforts to secure such an amendment to the naturalisa tion laws, so as to grant the naturalization, of persons of foreign birth who serve in the army of the United States during the War. Referred. Also a resolution for securing the location of the National Armory within the limits of the State of Ohio. Mr. Chandler, of Miebigan,_ presented the joint resolution of the Legislature of Michi gan reaffirming its loyalty to the Govern ment and hatred to traitors, and asking Gov ernment to speedily put down the insurrec- tion ; favoring the confiscation of the property of rebels ; and asking . that, as slavery was the canoe of the war, it be swept. from the land. Also, a joint resolution from the same body, _ In relation to the frontier defenses of the State of Michigan. Mr. Pomeroy offered ■ resolution calling on the Secretary of War for Information respect ing Gen. Lane's orders. Laid over. The joint resolution of the House appropri; sting $3OOO for the purchase of cotton seed for general distribution, with an ameMiinent ap propriating $lOOO for the purchase of tobacco seed, was adopted. The resolution directing the removal of the army biikeries from the capital was passed. The Senate then went xnto executive sea session and subsequently adjourned. From Washington Wiannnorox, Feb.

'Cho Government. The Chairman of the Committee - of Ways and Means (Stevens) will endeavor to bring the House to a rote on the Treasury bill on Thursday., Representative Hooper's speech, to-day, was listened to with marked attention, it being considered a clear exposition of the views of the Treasury Department on the I financial question. The Secretary, in a letter to the Committee, says the general provisions Of the bill seem well adapted to the end pro posed—that the provision making the notes a legal tender was doubtless well considered by the Committee, and their reflections had con ducted him to the same conclusion. He felt great fears as to making anything but gold and Silver a legal tender, but owing to the large expenditures and bank suspensions, the provision is indispensable. - The Secretary has suggested amenchitentli providing against Counterfeiting, and direct= lug the manner in which the notes are to be executed: The Secretary addressed * note to Mr. Spaulding, to-day, in which he says : "Immediate action is of groat importance. The Treasury is nearly empty. I have been obliged to draw for the last instalment of the November loan. • So soon as it is paid r l fear the banks generally will refuse to receive the United States notes. You will see the neces sity of urging the bill through without de lay."
