The block of three storied brick dwellings on the corner of Rob [neon street is being remodeled, so as to be suited for business purposes--by letting down the main floor to a level with the pavement. At thecorner of Lemoek, the Poet Office is soon to be remodeled, by an extension of the front along Leacock street, and by the addi tion of a public entrance from the tide—thus extending the pfublic facilities materially, - and giving room for additional private boxes. lien. Robinson is erecting a block of good homes immediately over the canal, with an archway beneath, for the passage of boats. The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company are making extensive ad ditions to the . public accommodations at their • • pot, by go arranging matters that a large and well ventilated waiting loom and ticket oleo is to be created, with the entrance from Federal street. IN BIM IN 00 59 - 00 -66 - - 00 74 These improvements speak well for these war times, and go to prove that we are in no danger of "bread riots," or an inundation of "pauperism." If farther proof were needed, we would have it in the fact that, just across Federal street, and between the Depot and Poet office, one of the finest glass fronts on the street . may bo observed. Surely, this looks like progress : those tea and coffee sets of silver, brittania and block tin ware,—those magnificent seta of Japanned Toilet ware, those elegant Coal Vases and Fire Irons, and the Bird Cages, the—is sill thisthe Bowery?

Council of the borough of Temperanceville held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, May 6th. Members present—Messrs. McDowel, Ken nedy, Wallace, Vjerheller, Burgess Cochrane. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The Committee on Board Walks was con tinued until the next monthly meeting. Also to attend to repairing streets and opening water courses in the borough, if necessary, and not to expend more than 810,00, without first obtaining the consent of Council. The Committee appointed to confer with the .Burgess and Council of the borough of West Pittsburgh reported progress. On motion, tho Burgess was authorised fo draw his warrant in favor of Jas. Trunlek for 85,28, for iron for bolts, for bridge near Wm. Aston's. On motion, an ordinance authorising the opening of Virgin and Mill alleys, ire the borough of Temperanceville, was passed,for further information. See Ordinance Book. On motion, the Council protested against the vacation of that part of Lemon street for which a petition has been filed in Court. The Burgess entered .his protest against the motion, because he considered the Court the proper place to test the matter of vacating streets or any part of a street, and not the Council, when the matter waein Court. G. R. Cocnasits,l3urgess. S. ii. FnEncit, Clerk. A special meeting of Allegheny Councils was held yesterday, at 1 o'clock, r. at., to en examine Into the propriety of opening linens Pieta, Palo Alto, Monterey and Resacastreets, all located in the Second Ward. The Committee on—Streets had previously reported a resolu tion to Councils, declaring said streets opened, .and appointing viewers to assess the dama ges, according to law. Several of the property 4olders, meantime,_sent in a protest to Coun cils, against the proposed improvement; and hence the visit,• yesterday, to — examine for themselves, the merits of the case. La Common Council, the whole subject Was refeired batik to the Committee on Streets; to report to Councils at the next regular meet• ing. Select Council did not act upon the subject at all—the action of Common Council having left nothing for their consideration. As the resolution was duly pailsed at the last meeting, and viewers appointed, a vote to reconsider that action would have been ne cessary, iti order to stay proceedings. In Select Council, Mr. Atwell presented a resolution isntrneting the Recording Regula tor to proceed at once to open certain streets in the'First Ward. Common Council non concurred, and referred the matter to the Committee on Streets, to report at the next regular meeting. Tar. Witono NA.II7.—A few days ago we noticed the appointment of Dr. Charles A. Stowe, eon of Hiram Stowe, Esq., of Beaver, Acting Assistant Surgeon in the General Hospital at Washington.. A typographical error occurred, however, which changed the name to "Stone." Mr. Stowe is a young gentleman of Hoe abilities, and his appoint ment will . doubtless prove highly satisfac tory. IMPORTANT NOTICI.--The City Treasurer, Mr. Elehbaum, gives notice that all those who have neglected to pay the fourth instalment of their grading and paving assessment, must do so on or before the-first of July, otherwise they will pass into legal hands for collection, involving considerable cost.

REBEL DISHO.WESTY LETCIIER'S GUERRILLA BANDS. CONTRABANDS COMING IN Two Secessionist Spies Arrested Uufonnded Charges Against Mr. Lathrop TH] TAX BILL. GUNBOATS FOR THE WESTERN RIVERS dY,dv, dy [Special Dispatch to the Gazette.] Puns DELPRI/, May 9.—The inquirer'. Fredericksburg correspondent says two men of the Thirtieth Now York, who had strayed ashore some distance from their regiment, were found, yesterday, one of them hanging by his heels from a tree with his throat cnt; the other was lying on the ground with his throat out from ear to ear. These things are done very frequently, and our forces are greatly exasperated, and retal- iation has become the war word The Tribune'• correspondent says: Oar to-day's dispatches from Fredericksburg con tain little news of importance. The mer chants of Fredericksburg who are largely in debted at the North, are selling out their real estate and personal property, with the avowed intention of defrauding the Northern creditors. Anonymous letters have been lent to nearly all the Union men of Fredericksburg, threat ening their lives and property after our army leaves. Letcher's guerrilla bands are infesting the hills, with the intention of capturing pickets and Uninn men. Now thiit we occupy Fredericksburg, rebel pickets no longer gallop through the Rtrtets by night or dm, Contrabands are daily arriving and fur nishing valuable information of army Move ments. Telegraphic communication between Fred ericksburg and Wishington was completed to-day. Two notorious secessionists, C. Ogden and J. A. Faithington, who left Richmond yester day with a quantity of letters, came within our lines this morning, having been arrested by order of the General. There is reason to believe that the charges against Mr. Lathrop, recently appointed Col lector at New Orleans, aro frivolous and un founded, originating in the selfish wish of others to obtain his place. A merchant of the highest integrity, now in Washington, who did business in New Or- leans and Montgomery, and is still a !eliding business man in tho West, and who has known Mr. Lathrop *ell, and had business relations with him, assures me to-night that ho never know or heard of any imputation on his integrity and business capacity. The worst charge against him heM seems to be that an insurance company failed, of which be was once agent. The noire correspondent says t The Tax bill, it is now considereibeertain, will be pass ed very nearly as reported by the Senate Com mittee. The revenue of twenty cents a pound on tobacco, to be manufactured after the pas: sage of the bill, may be increased. No one believes that the stocks on hand will be taxed, the revenue being quite ample from this source, without committing an act so unusual and unjust. The Rouse hits decid ed this by an almost unanimous vote, and the Senate committee have affirmed this view of the question. It is due to dealers who hold stocks to make this statement. The plan of gunboats for the southern and western rivers, submitted by James B. Bade, of St. Louis, and recommended by the naval examiners, is attracting the attention of ministers—of foreign- governments. Models and descriptions will be sent abroad. D. Geo. Pope's Official Report of the Caiiare of Island lio. 10, clam:ten, May 9.—The Commercial pub Isles Gen. Pope's official report of the cap are of Island No. 10. Gen. Pope says it is almost impossible to give a correct statement of the immense quan tity of artillery, ammunition, and supplies of every description which fall into our hands. Three Generals, two hundred and seventy three field and company officers, six thousand seven huzidred privates, one hundred . and twenty-three pieces of heavy artillery, thirty field guns, all of the beet character and latest patterns, seven thousand stand of small arms, several wharf-boats of provisions, immense Auanties of ammunition of all kinds, many hundred horses and mules, with wagons, har ness, dm ' are among the spoils. Very few,if any, of the enemy escaped, and only by wading and swimming through swamps -The conduct of the troops was splendid throughout. As to the results of, this opera tion, and its whole progress very plainly ex hibits we have crossed the river, the banks of which wore lined with batteries and de fended by seven , thousand men ; have pursued and captured the whole force of the enemy, and all Me supplies and material of war, and have again re-crossed and occupied our camp at New Madrid, without losing a man, or meeting with an accident.. Such re salts bespeak—efficieney, good conduct, high discipline and soldifilsy deportment of the best character. Patience, witting labor, endur ance of hardships and privation for long pe riods, prompt obedience, order and discipline, bravery and spirit, are the - qualities which these operations have developed in the forces under my command, and which assure for them a brilliant and successful Gamer in Irmo. It is difficult to express the feeling which such. conduct has occasioned me, fortunate enough to be the commander of such troops. There are few material obstacles within the range of. warfare which a man of courage and spirit would hesitateyiencounter with such a force. Frasn:Foreress Monroe. Forralicir ' Maxams, May D.—By the steamer from Yorkinitn, I learn that Gon. McClellan had advaneed twelve miles beyond Williams burg, and lias bad several skirmishes with the enemy, routing them with heavy loss. Tho embarkation of troops for West Point is progressing with great rapidity. A heavy battle took place en Wednesday afternoon, be tween the troops of Gen. Franklin's and Gen. Sedgwick's and the rebels under Gen. Lee, who were endeavoring to migte their way to Richmond. It is said to have been the sev erest battle on tho Peninsula. The rebels were totally routed and Banked, being driven back towards the forces under Gen. Johnston on the Chickahaminy. The whole number of Federal, killed and wounded was three bun dled, and the enemy were driven back by oar gunboats with great slaughter. They had not less than thirty thousand men while our whole force at the time was not over twenty 1 thousand, only that number having landed, and had it no been for the gunboats our troops would ha e bees defeated: The crew of the Steam tug J. B.' White, which deserted froni the enemy, report that there was great excitement at Norfolk this morning.

SEWALIA POINT ATTACKID THE MONITOR HOTLY ENGAGED! A Gun Silenced on Sewall's Point BARRACKS BURNED APPEARANCE OF THE MERRIMAC The Monitor Ready for action &c., &c.; FORTRICSO MONROE,• May S. — Shortly before noon, to-day, the Monitor, Naugatuck, Semi nole, Susquehanna, Dacotah and San Jacin to, in the order in which they are amed, I steamed up to'Sewoll's Point--Capt. G rdner, of the Susquehanna, in command of he ex pedition. As soon es they arrived within range, they opened with shot and shell over Sewell's Point, most of which were good shots. It was nearly half an hour before any reply was made from the Point. The Rip Raps next opened, and then the Naugatuck for the first time. Several shots were fired from the single gun on the extremity of the Point, when one from the Monitor struck in the vi cinity, doubtless disabling the gun, as it has not been fired since. The position of the Monitor was far in advanee of the rest of the fleet, and she continued in motion till within a mile or two of the Point, when considerable execution must have been done by her ac curate firing. The Naugatuck kept in the back ground, the range of her Parrot gun enabling her to do so. The Sewell's Point battery replied briskly. The Rip Raps fired occasionally, and a con tinual fire was kept up by the gunboats. The affair was-comparatively - uninteresting from this point of view, on account of the distance'being so great that the details could not be seen. At about 1 o'clock a black smoke was seen to arise, which it was supposed was occasioned -by a combustible shell being thrown into the woods. It soon died out and disappeared. Nothing more occurred till a little before 2 o'clock, when the firing was very feeble from the Point. The Monitor about this time returned from her advanced position, and rejoined the fleet. In the distance nothing of her could be seen but a small square black spot on the water. About a quarter past two o'clock, a very dense black smoke rose rapidly from Sewell's Point, probably from the burning of the bar racks or other buildings. At about half pet two o'clock the Merri mac made her appearance , _ when the fleet, with the exception of the Monitor, returned. The Merrimac is still (at 5 o'clock) off the Point, and the Monitor m ready to attack her. The Seminole has returned to the lower Roads. There is no prospect of further fighting at present. At half-past 6 o!clock the Monitor returned. The Merrimac remains in the same Position. B•LTIMORE, May 9.—The special corres pondent of the American sends the following relative to affairs at Hampton Heads and the Peninsula: Fortre. Monroe, May B.—This has been a most stirring and exciting day at Old Point, and all are anticipating the early fall of Nor folk. At 11 o'clock the steamer Naugatuck was observed raising steam, and about 12 o'clock she moved out by the side of the Monitor, which vessel had also cleared her deck for ac tion, taken down her awning and pipes, and stood forth in full fighting trim. 11:30 o'clock.—The gunboat Dacotah has just moved up in line of battle, with two little batteries, followed by the .sloop-of-war Sem inole.

In the meantime the Dacotah, Monitor and Naugatuck had reached the channel and taken position off Sewall's Point, and the Dacotah fired a shot towards Craney IslandVwhich fell short. A second shot from the Dacotah struck the beach at Sewall's Point. 13:20 o'clock—The Susquehanna moves up and takes the lead of the San Jacinto and Seminole.

The Larger Federal vessels drew on one side and left the Monitor .and Naugatuck in the path, atiprosehieg the enemy, the contest ants being yet frilly two miles off. 3o'ciock,p. s,.—The Minnesota fires her signal gun, and long roll is being beat in the fort. The Minnesota is also coming up from an chorage below the fort; The fleet had all been lying quietly at anchor for the put half hour, when a signal from the flag ship ordered them all to return. The Susquehanna led the way, followed by the San Jacinto, Seminole and Dacotah—the Monitor bringing up the roar—all, appa rently; using the greatest speed towards the fort. To the spectators this seemed rather mortifying, but as they moved.down in line, the Monitor was observed to halt, and the San Jacinto and Dacotah, alio, followed her example—leaving the Susquehanna and Sem inole moving ahead. The four steamers and the Monitor, having taken their position, the Merrimac also halted, and the five vessels stood thus not more than a mile and a half apart. The Merrimac was not, apparently, willing,to come further down, and the Moni tor unwilling to go farther up. The Minne sota, also, steamed up in front of the wharf of the fort, followed slowly by the Vanderbilt, when both stopped. After laying in this po sition the Minnesota turned round and steam ed back, and the Vanderbilt, without turning, backed water slowly down the river. Whilst all this maneuvering was going ca, firing had entirely ceased from all points. 3:40 o'clock p. Merriinac now turns around and steams back towards Nor folk, with her rebel flag flying impudently. A Baltimore steamer, the Georgiana has laid out in the stream, with steam up, all the af ternoon, ready to escape from danger at the earliest moment. The Minnesota and Van derbilt have gone back to their anchorage. Tho Dacotah again proceeds up towards the Merrimac, and the Monitor also• starts to wards the mouth of the Elizabeth river. The Dacotah is now within easy range of Sewall's Point. The batteries do not open on her. She and the Monitor have both stopped, and the Merrimac is laying stationary about a mile in advance of Cranny Island batteries. Here commenced an important movement which cannotbe made public. Southern News • CHIC#OO, May 9.—A special dispatch from Cairo to the Journal states that the steamer Brown had arrived from the flotilla. At daybreak yesterday morning four rebel gunboats were seen rounding the point, mak ing their way in the direction of the mortars, evidently with the intention- of capturing them: Our gunboats formed in line of battle and had their decks cleared for action. Some fifty shots were fired, when the rebel boats re tired. The distance was so great that it is impossible to say whether any of the shots took effect. The - firing from the mortars which had been suspended for two days, Was renewed, and when the Brown left was going on with great vigor. To guard against surprise, the mortar boats are towed up now every night, and remain behind the fleet. A special to the Tribune states that Major Sharpe of Columbus, who was carried away by' the rebels at the time hf the evacuation of that place, has escaped. Ile tells pitiful stories of the affairs at Memphis, and pointed out the place where the rebels had buried 30 pieces of cannon at Columbus, all of which has been exhumed and are now in Federal possession. A boat from Pittsburgh Landing arrirod last evening, and reports our army within two miles of Corinth. Heavy firing was going on our extreme advance, but it was thought tro general engagement was progressing. Memphis papers of the 2d, 3d and sth have been received.

'A • • Report of the Capture of ?few Orleans WASHINGTON, May 9.;--The following is Commodore Farragut's report of the capture Of New Orleans: - 1 U. S. FLAGSSTP HARTFORD, OFF THE CITY OP NKR ORLSANS, April 25, 1862. Dean Sin : In the excitement of the last two days you must not be surprised if I have undone many things which I ought to do, . and one of which was to write to you on the occasion of my taking this city ; but, thank God, it has been done , and in wh at I conceive a handsome style. had two Union men on board, who had been foreed into the Confed erate service at FL Jackson as laborers. They informed me that there were two forts near the city, and as we approached the locality, I tried to concentrate the vessels,, but we soon saw that we must take a raking fire for two miles, so we did not mince the matter, but dashed • directly ahead. They permitted us to apiroaoh to within, one mile and a quarter before they opened on us. Capt. Bailey, in the Cayhuga, Lieutenant Commanding Harrison, was Hi , the advance, and received the Most of the first fire, but, although, the shooting was good they did not damage his little vessel. The Cayhuga then fell back and the Hartford took her place. We had only two guns, which - I had placed on the top-gallant forecastle that could bear on them until we got within half a mile ; we then sheered off and gave them such a fun as they never dreamed of in their phil osophy. The Pensacola ran after awhile and took the starboard battery off our hands, and in a few minutes the Brooklyn ranged up and took a chance at my friends on the left. bank, but they wore silenced in, I should say, twenty minutosor half an hour, bat I can not keep a note of the time on such occasions, ' I only know that half of the vessels did not got a chance at them. The river was too narrow fur more than two or three vessels to act to advantage, but all were so anxious, that my_ greatest fear was that we would fire into each other, and Capt. Wain wright and myself were hallooing ourselves hoarse at the men not to Ore into our ships. This last affair is what I call one of the little elegancies of the_profession—a dash and a victory. But the passing of the forts Jackson and St. Phillips was one of the most awful eights I ever saw. 2 -the emoko was so dense, that it was only now and then you could see aught bat the - flash of the cannon and the fire ships or rafts, one of which was pushed down upon us. The Hartford was by the ram Manassas, and in my efforts to avoid it, ran the ship on shore, and then the fire raft was pushed along side, and in a moment the ship was one blaze all - along the port side, half way up the main and mizzeh tops, but thanks to the good organisation of The fire department,.by . Lieut. Thornton, the flames were extinguished, and at the !HMO time we hacked off and got clear of the raft, but all this time we were pouring shells into the forts and they into us, and every now and then a rebel steamer would got under opr fire, and receive our salutation of a broadside. At length the fire slackened, the smoke cleared off, and we saw, to our surprise, that we were above the forts, and here and there a rebel gunboat on fire as we came op with them, try ing to make their escape. They were fired into and riddled,.eo that they ran them on shore, and all who could made their escape to the shore. lam told, Ido not know how truly, that Gen. Lovell - hadsone down that evening to make an attack with thirteen gun boats, a large rain of eighteen guns, and the Manassas. Tho Manassas and the Mississippi made a set at each other at full speed, and when they were within thirty or forty yards, the ran: dodged the Mississippi and ran on chore, when the latter poured her broadside into her, knocked away her smoke-stack, and then sent on board of her, but she was de serted and riddled, and after a while she drif ted down the stream full of water. She was the last of the eleven we destroyed, but the larger ram was still at Fort Jackson but they say hero that she was sent down before she was ready, and that she will have to surrender with the forts, which I hope will be to-day or to-morrow. I will give them my attention as soon as I can settle the affairs of the city. Thin morning, at fi a. m., I sent to Captain Morris, whose chip commanded the Mint, to take possession of it and hoist the American flag thereon, which was done, and the people cheered it. At ten I sent on shore again, and ordered Lieut. Kona, of the Navy, and Brown, of the marines, with a marine guard, to hoist the-flag on the Custom House, bit the excitement of the crowd,was so groat that the Mayor and Councilmen thought it would produce a conflict and groat loss of life. At eleven a signal was made to the fleet for di vine service, under a General Order, Copy No. 3, of April 26. In the afternoon, having liven informed that, there were two forts eight miles above the city, at a place called Carrolton, I deter mined to take a look at them, and demolish them. We according ran - np, ut, to our sur prise, we found the gun carriages all on fire, and, upon examination, found the guns all spiked.
