J. F:Slagle, Esq., City Solicitor, to-day
li.litd;in trio Unital States Circuit Court, the
ans Well
,of the City Treastrier and Control
bm, to the interrogatories propounded by the
attorneys for the railroad bondholders, in
reference to the mod-payment of certain
judgments upon which writs of specialft. /a.
had been issued.
ANEWLE OP WM. LICIIBAOL , CITY TREASCRIR.
The answers of the City Treasurer are qu ite
lengthy, add wo are obliged to condense them
as follons
I. On the 23d of November,lB6l; he had
.in his possession $ 9 ,042,88.--$29,97 of which
belonged to the Sinking Fund. The whole
amountatill remains in his hands.
has now the sum of $13,414,70—.54,.
• 401 of Which b e to the Sink i ng Fund.
3. The judgments or the plaintiffs have
not been paid because ho had no moneys
which could be legally appropriated for that
purpose: (The act of April 8, 1830, entitled
"an act to limit the indebtedness, and" provide
for the gradual extinguishment of 'the debt
of the city of Pittebargh," and the ordinance
:poised by Councils in pirstuince thereof, are
'detailed at length.) The sum of $9,012,91,
in his possession on November 23d, 1861, was
- part of the money appropriated byOrdinance,
and was retained totneet the indebtedness of
said city, and the same is still. retained for
that purpose: - The amount appropriated by
ordinance of January 28, 1861, was not at
.thit time paid in, nor has it since been paid
in, and therefore the sum of $9,012,91 is ne
ceases), to meet said - appropriations. The
balance in the Treasury *belongs to the Sink
ing Fund, turostabliebed bi - the net
No_moneys . of the city have been received by
the Treasurer. since the 23d of Novomber,
1861, ezeept one account of assessments, for
`grading and.paving ) under the act of May,
I.Bol', by the 13th section' of which act tlieso
asiessalenta arc directed to be applied to the.
Sinking Fund. • • • • C
The Treasurer concludes the third answer
as , follows.: 'er have not paid any of. the
Money in my hands on the 23d of Nov., 1861,
citTehiell has since boon received by too, in
discharge of any of the above judgments, be
cause I was advised that I could nut legally
apply the same to that purpose. I have re
tained the money in my possession, and am
'ready and. vrilling,to pay the same as the
Court may direct. Under the appropriations,
the money in my hands was for the ordinary
current expenses of the city, without which
tho government of said city cannot be admin
istered."

4. Ho has-no knowledge of the amount of
warrants drawn by . the Mayor and counter
signed by the Controller, as that matter is
exclusively in the control those officers. -
•savcsa OE JOHN lI . CARGO, CITY CONTROLLER.
In making answer, Mr. McCargO protests
that be is not required to do so t ; inasmuch 'as
the writs of special Xja. issued in said cases,
iind upon which the interrogatories are based,
were not aervcd upon him, and he had no
notice of the issuing of the same :
1: I have no bnowledge of the, amount of
money in the hands or control of the City
Tresurer, except. such as is derived from the
books of account of said city. By said account
tlie'said Treasurer had on the 234 day of No
vember, 1881, in his possession, the -sum of
$9,042 88, of which the sum of $29 87 belonged
to the Sinking Fund, established by act of
April 6, 1850. I cannot state what disposition ,
tuts been made of it.
2. There is no money of the city of Pitts
burgh in my hands, possession or control.
3. It Is no part of my duty to receive or
disburse the moneys of the city, those mat
ters being entirely and exclusively Within the
control of -the City Treasurer. It was his
duty, and his alone, to pay said judgments,
and I do not , know why they were not paid,
except, from information derived from said
Treasurer, who informed me that he had not
had any moneys of said city„applicable to the
payment thereof. I have nopower or author.
Ity to pay out the moneys of said city, for an'y
purpose whatever.
4. There have been a grcat_many warrants
drawn by the Mayor and countersigned by the
Controller since the 23d of NOvember, 1861.
I hereto attach a scheduleshowing the amounts
'drawn upon each day , since the 23d of Novem
her, 1861, add the purpose for which the same
were'drawn;: and also a summary showing the
whole amount drawn upon each appropriation,•
, which I ask to be made a part of this answer.
If the Coart shall deem it necessary that a
detailed statement should be given, setting
forth each warrant separately, I shall be porn
palled . to 'ask further time to answer, as it
would involve a great amount of labor to pro
cure the same.
The warrants drawn prosioas to theist of
rebrnary, 1862, wore countersigned by my
predecesaor in office, and all the information
.. • • •
conperning•tbeat is derived from the books of
said\office, which I do not doubt to be correct.
Those drawn since the let of February, 1862,
Were countersigned by me.
All of said warrants wore drawn in accor
dance with the acts of Assembly and ordi
nances of said city, upon the regular appro
priations,and for the necessary current ex
pourer mid city. -

FROM GEN. MTLELLAN'S ARMY
Correep,milrime or the Pittsburgh Gazette. '
CAMP ta THE FIELD, 1
NEaR WILLTAUSEWECI, May 8, 1802. f
Probably ere thiireaches you, you will hare
heard the telegraphic communication, from
Washington, of our fight at this place, and
the result.. Had I 'been able, I would have
given you b. dispatch as soon see the battle
was over, eat money could not pay for the
privilege of using the line—not even for
twenty wordn. The answer I received, when
I asked fur the privilege, was: "This line
Sir, as far as Washington, is used exclusively
for military purposes." So• you must con
tent yourself with' letters, at least for the
present, an it• will bo impossible for me to
transmit any dispatches while the army is in
...the field.
As Pittsburghers are interested mos' par
ticularly. in' the welf are
i of the 102 d, the only
Pittsburgh regime t engaged, I wilt merely
chronicle the moo w ent of the brigade to
which it leattachod Peek'e). At threat:o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, the, brigade took up its
lino of march in .the direction of Williams
burg, and marched Some nine miles, when it
encamped in the midst of a drenching shower
of rain. In the morning, at daylight, it - was
again on the move, 'the rain still pouring in
torrents, and the men at every step oinking
anclo deep in the Mud. This lasted till Mon,
when they were ordered to the front, to rein- ,
force Gee. Hooker, , who, with his ditision, ten
thousand strong, had been engaged with a
superior force of rithels (variously estimated
at from fifteen to forty thousand) from dity
light in the morning. And, here I must, in
justice, make a diversion in favor of the brave
troops under General Hooker. These troops,
opposed by overwheludrig numbera 'of the
enemy. Never has there been a more perse
vering resistance shown 'during the rebel
lion. Charge after charge was made by our
foes, in the hopes of dislodging them from
their position in the edgelof a halt of timber,
but all in vain. They stood their ground
like a reek, and repelled every charge with
their withering volleys. Although fighting
against twice their number, and subject to a
cress fire from the fortifications, besides the
danger of being outflanked, thby'austained
themselves nobly until the arrive' of rein
forcements. As Peek came up with his bri
gade, he took position on the right of Gen.
Hooker, and immediately opened Ore on the
rebels with terrible effect. So destructive was
their fire that a rebel. Captain ' wounded and
taken prisoner, says that out of his company
of sixty-five men, but five are left. It is the
universal opinion that Peek, by mewing up at
the time at hedid, saved the day to our troops.
Not a Man flashed in the brigade, but all
lessee - aid - fired as rapidly as possible, seem
ingly regardless of the storm of grape that
wee raining around them. Several times did
the enemy charge down the road; through the
woods, across which the 102 d wee 'in position,
butjeuch time a shower of buck and ball drove
tliann Mick in dismay. Standing in the edge
of the woods, with an almost Impenetrable
network-of fallen trees before, and no chance
of maneavering, our entire lino was obliged to
act only on the defensive, and maintain their
position by the moot dogged and persevering
obstinacy. And hold it they did, till the en
envy, weakened by his tremendous losses, and
having no hopes of ever being able to dis
lodge us, retreated, leaving us in possession
of the field, and leaving hundreds of their
dead and wounded behind them.
Before our position lay an open field of hun
dreds of acres. Here it was that the rebels
had built their fortifications, five in number, I
the line forming a crescent. Had the rebel.
attacked tis the re, we would haveladen op
portnnity of trying their boasted superiority
in the "open - field."
_Stomp) that they will
never givens an opportunity to meet. them
where they claim they have such a decided
advantage over an, but will persist in attack
ing us in the woods, or lying in wait for as
behind intrenehments.
The country about hero is entirely too
beautiful fo be laid waste by thecruel hand ot
war. It ii an undulating surface, and it is
cheering to one's heart to see' the beautiful
slopes clothed in emerald, to which the richer
green of the trees forms a pleasing contrast.
But while all about us seems to speak of peace
and happiness, we .need not go far to see
signs, and4cathsome signs of war in all its
ItideoumeM., All over ,the late , battle-Bold
- inn9 hSaeEn rpleput M e ri tnmdellspilqing iq
every conceivable posture—sense as calm ?and'
peaceful Os if asleep, and others whose fea
term are 'fearfully distorted by the bodily
pain rindergone ere death came to their relief.
It is burrowing to go over the field and see
the fruits of man's evil, ambitious spirit, and
is enough'to make the vilest sinner pray for
the hastening of the day when the sword
shall be turned a ploughshare.
To relate all the incidents connected with I
the fight, and to note all the hair-breadth es
capes would occupy wore room than you can
spare for letters, and' therefore I think I.
can do no better than to devote the remainder
of this sheet to the 102 d. . .
Nobly did this regiment Sustain the honor
°NM, old Iron City. From the time they
first came Into the engagement, till night,
about five o'clock, they 'toed bravely up and
received the enemy's, fire, returning one twice
as destructive. Not a man (altered, but all
fought bravely on, till wounded or killed.
Grape and canister was poured into them in
fearful quantities, but still they bold their
ground, and drove the enemy back by their
terrible fire till he Wan obliged to retire. One'
incident conneotedWith this regiment, I must
relate. A battery of tho Ist U. S. Artillery,
posted on their right, had become mired, and
the men being under a heavy fire of musket
ry abandoned it. The enemy perceiving this,
took their colors and guidon, and endeavored
to take the guns, but a well directed and
steady fire caused them to fall back from the
battery and drop the colors, which are now in
the hands of our regiment.
In all probability we will soon be upon them'
again. Per the past few days we have been
engaged in' building a road in the line of their
retreat, and when finished our army will ad
.
swum again.
I have had_no opportunity of visiting Wil
liamsburg as yet, but will do so ere long and
will write you then. Appended you will find
the official report of the killed, wounded and
missing of the 102,1, and also of the Pitts
burgh Zonaves, and Friend Rifles of 'the Sick.

lIIVIITII CONGRESS-MST -SESSION.
Wasamorox, May 16, 1865. .
Horse.—The Speaker laid before the Kowa
a communication from the Secretary 'of War,
embracing a report from Gen. Geary concern
ing the homicide of Robert. K. Scott and a
man named Mathews, recently, in. Parqtder
county, Va., from which it appears they were
killed, by two privates of a Wisionsin regi
ment, as „Ahoy with arms in their bands were
entering a house where the soldiers had taken
shelter to captime them. Ono of the latter
was shot and the other escaped. It b added
that they had been guilty of I.aranding in
the section through which they passed while
seeking to join their regiment.
Mr. Benjamin Wood not wishing to con ,
sumo the time of the House in the delivery-of
a speech on the condition of the Union, ob
tained permission to print it. Ile says it has
been left to him to speak the first conciliatory
word in behalf of his suffering countrymen.
There were gentlemen within his vision whose
sworn Purpose and greatest desire, paramount
oven to the preservation of the Republic, is
emancipation. They first applied the torch,
and aro now more busy than over with throw
ing fresh fuel to the flames. Should history
ever trace, which God forbid, the record of this
country's ruin, that page will seem the
strangest to those that read, which tell of the
madness and wickedness of the arch fanatics
of abolitionism.
In the dark recesses of the temple of in
famy the gloomiest niches will bear the in
scription of their names. In place of making
the negro question the . subject matter of de
bate, Congress should take into earnest, sol
emn consideration some expedient for secur
ing peace. 110 believed success would crown
their efforts. An honorable peace was within
their grasp,, and when the people shall realize
that it is only the infamous design to strength
en the slavery movement which prevents an
effort to obtain peace ' woe to the chiefs of
the abolition party, But words aro thrown
away on stubborn fanaticism. He appealed
to the loftier feelings which should pervade
Humanity; to the lovers of our common coun
try we want a union of sovereigns and not of
subjects. In conclusion, he urges and en
treats Congress to adopt some measure which
may bring abbot the cessation of hostilities
with a view to mediation. Adjourned till
Monday.

that regiment, composed of Pronehmen,
arrived here lately, who were ...able to ob
tain work, food or mosey, were 'obliged to
enlist for days. The conscript law, how
ever, compeilcd them tore-enlist for the war.
They report' the whole army 'Without coffee,
RHO at one time were 'nearly three days with
out rations. They say that Van Dora and
Price left Corinth eight days ago. They do
not know where they have gone to.
The weather is clear and hot, and the roads
rob, dusty-below Corinth.
it having been satisfactorily•altown that
spies have visited our camps, crossed the
Tennessee river and proceededin the night,
by dug-outs, to , Florence, Alabama, Where
they held easy communication with the en
emy, it was deemed necessary to exclude all
civilians from the camps, in order to keep out
spies. Hence the general order mentioned
yesterday.
A federal Sergeant, captured at Shiloh, and
exchanged yesterday, says he was taken from
Corinth to Jackson, - Mississippi, thence to
Jackson, Tennessee, and back to Corinth. He
states that from the time ho loft Corinth until
his return there, he was guarded by unarmed
men.
A contraband, on intimate friend of Gen
Hardee's servant, Jack, has also arrived. It;
reports that it had been told him that Harde!
was very sick of the war;and would leave
but Beauregard would not let him.
