Mayor Barker, and another man named John
MoDonaid was so badly injured that ho is not .
expeotod to rocove'r, It appears that Barker 1;
had been at Middletown; across the river from
Hayaville, on Saturday afternoon, addressing
a war meeting, mid was. coming up the rail
road track on bis way home, in company with
two dr three', others, 'including McDonald.
When near Jack’s bridge, discovered a
freight tndn coming j west, and they stepped;
overon the opposite track to lot it pass. In the
meantime the Eiprcaß train, coming east, at
a rapid rate of spced,'being,behind time a lit
tle, camo up unobserved, and passed ovejr
Barker,-catting his head entirely off, ind
breaking ouo of McDonald’s legs, and in
juring him seriously about the head. Barkor
1 was, of course, instantly killed. -
MoDonaid is aulrishman* and resides in a
oonrt, west of the ( /Diamond. He bad been
employed, for some time paatj in gardening
on tho Island, ahd nsnaily returned home on
Saturday evening. He >ba* beejruarUchlaily

From Saturday’s Evening Edition.
Hew the Siege Gnns were Saved.
A soldier, writing from Harrison's Land
ing, narrates.the circumstances attending the
removal of our siege guns from before Rich
mond, and awards the oredit-of their success
ful removal to a gallant Pennsylvanian, Cspt.
J. W. Beasell, of the Quartermasters’ De
partment, and formerly editor of. the Union
town Standard. The writer says:
“Ton doubtless remember It was announced
by telegraph while the battles were in pro
cess here, that our siege gunrwero lost!
Daring the last day of oar retrograde move-.,
meat it rained in torrents. In foot I never
saw inch a rain, and the roads soon became
nratnr. tr shads.

-almost impassable. In the rush, excitement i
and confusion, it required great ucertions to ;
get ihe trains safely through. Capt. Beaisll’s ,
train consisted of one hundred and fifty.wag- i
ons, one hundred caissons andforges,together j
with the Headquarter train. By hard work ;
and constant watching he succeeded In saving -
his eptiro train, excepting two ,wagons that ,
broke down and could not be repaired. After
he gothis own train secured he went baok- to
where the rebels were throwing shot and shell
as thick as hail, and worked two hours in get
ting the big siege guns out of the mud, where
they were stuck fast hub deep. Two of them
bad been abandoned by their ofiioers, the trace- -
chains being broken. They were valuable and
elegant guns, and the Captain determined he
would die by them ere they should fall into
the hands of the rebels. He procureda heavy
rope, had traces 1 made of it, and by appealing
to the soldiers passing by, aucoeedediu getting
them to take they lifted and drag
ged them out of the mud and saved them.
These guns were in the advance siege train,
n.nd I firmly believe ho was.instrumental in
saving pH these .valuable guns, as many offi
' eers had already advised thoir abandonment.
In foot'.it was supposed by those who first
passed them that they were lost, and it whs
so stated in the papers. All,this time the
run was coming down in torrents, and he was
1 working at the risk of his life.'
“I happened to be present next morning
when Gen. Keyes sent a masaago inviting
> Capt. B. to his tent, where he complimented
f him highly for the part he had taken in saving
f. tho siege guns, andeoncluded by saying! ‘My
i gallant young friend, your services will be re
i membered hereafter/ Amoog the stirring
t incidents of that inomorablo battle-field, I
think it may be fairly claimed for one of the
Fayetie boys, that he was instiumental in
saving our siege' guns, which were worth a
mint of money.” 1

Thisbody, in session in Allegheny, his
unanimously adopted the following preamble
and resolutions i ' v .' -
Wbebeas, A* an enlightened anil humane
people, wo cannot but sympathiie with the
advancement of tho principles of liberty and
equality, whether it be in the diienlhrallment
of the Blades in the British West India
Islands, the liberation of the serfs in Russia,
the emancipation of the slaves in the National
Capital, orihe confiscation of -the slaves of
those Southern' Rebels, whose fratricidal
hands are,uplifted to strike down tbebest
government ever established by man; there*
jßesofoerfj That while we recognise the band
of tho God of universal liberty, In.raising up
philanthropists and humanitarians in aHages
and places, we are not unmindfnl of our obli
gations to those whoso indefagitableexertions
have done so mnch for the emelioration of the
condiilonbf mankind.', . • .
"Baolvtd, That while the first of August
muit ever remain memorable in the history of
our neglected and oppressed race, as giving
liberty to 800,000 souls, we are, nevertheless, |
bound by birth, sentimont, education, and a
common feeling of patriotism,;to holdj in tho
highest veneration and esteem those : several,
periods wftioh have recently gvren iTreedom
to so many of our brethren in the land of our
birth and the home of our affections.
fiaolced, That we hereby tender our united
thanks to God for his unspeakable mercies, to
that honest, able and patriotic man, the Pres*
ident of the United States, to the members of
Congress, heads of Departments, Generals in
the field, aud to philanthropists in general,
for their aid iq the success of‘those priheiples
which so deeply concern our race, and which,
under God, we hope will soon triumph. '

and costly caso of Mathematical Instruments,
as a slight acknowledgment- of the raluablo
services which he bad rendered to the compa
i mj* - The speech erthe ex-Governor tros neat,
and appropriate, anttwae well received. ■ A
Mr. ftelson, being both modest and retlr- I
j D g. and'more of a thinker than speofcer, ex-,

Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Geaette. .
Hcktstilli, AU., July 29th, 1562.
THE CHATTAEOOOA. KXPEDITIOS.
After-lying for months in the mad of Man
fordtville, after a longoverland trip to Nuh
viUe, and a subsequent tedious, bat not Idle,
occupation of Columbia and—Middle Tennei•
see, the Pennsylvania Brigade of General
Negley found an opportunity to make a little
exclusive history by an expedition to Chatta
nooga. But the history of that affair hat not
been correctly given. On .the contrary, the
oßolel reports which emWltfiotuiy found
their way into print, and the rougher reports
of amateur correspondents, have given a false
light to the whole affair, and I understand
that unjust reflections have been made by
Pennsylvania papers npori the commanding
offioer and his brigade. , Bam satisfied from
an examination of certain documents, for the
perusal of whloh I aol Indebted to a now
famous Major-General, that credit has not
been given where It beloiged„and that the
chief fault of Gen. Negley laid in the fact that
he allowed his subordinate |offloers—^ the Colo
nel of tho 79th, and the Adjutant of the Blh |
Brlgadel—to present to the public untrue
statementa.of foots. In jtbtlce to all parties
let me make, brief statement of the matter
giving the socret history of the whole expedi
tion.: ' J'
(tax. xxoiet mss tbx xxvinrriox.
Gen. Negley is brigade was detached from
Gen. McCook’s division if the army ef the
Ohio, at the request of Gen. 1 Negley, who had
quarreled with MoCook, Because McCook re
quired him to furnish a min nanfnd Garrison,
negro dealer in Bowling Green, witha squad
of mon to search for negroes in his (Negley i)
camp. When the main anny moved, forward,
Gent Negley was detailed to guard and keep
open the rear. Mitohel defleoted towards
Huntsville. Negley’s command was increas
ed, and he was required to keep open Mitoh
el’a rear also. Things remained qaUjt nnlil
about tho 20th of May. I then Sad that Gbn.
Negley advises Gen. Mltohel, with whom he |
had *en ordered to act in oonoert, that a
large force of rebel cavalry is being concentra
ted at or near McMinnville, Tenn., and urges
upon him (Mitchol)to allow him to strengthen
COl. Lester, at MoMinnville; about the same
time, ho says that Starn’s rebel cavalry is re
ported moving towards MeMinnvlUo. On tho
35th of May, Mitohel, again urged, gives Gen.
Negley the requested order, and Murfreesboro
is Btrongtheaed by forces placed at Sbelby
viUo/Wartrace, and other points. General
Mitohel, about the same time, gets important
information on the same subject, and runs to
Nashville, - where,on the 26th of May,ho tel
egraphs to Negley to meet him*
A» IHTBEVIEW WltHiQlli. MITCHEL.
On tbo 27th of May Begley was at Nash
ville, and had an Interview with Mltohel and
taster. Mitohel asks of Negley an eUbora.
tlon of the views which he had telegraphed
him. Gen. N. states to him briefly his Infor
mation. Therebel force threatening Murfrees
boro comes from Chattanooga, taking advan
tage of tho Sequatchey; Valley. The true
wav to attaok hia>, is to do so by tiie same
Valley, thus endangering, his rear. At the
same time he attacks Starn's force in front,
drives It into or across the river, or captures
it. At the same time, by thus threatening
Chattanooga, It compels the rebels to with
draw from McMinnville, or from some other
point, to reinforce Chattanooga. While his
planis offensive egainst Starn, it is strate
gical also, and, besides, made by the route
named, the railroad brought supplies near at
band. To make Murfreesboro thabase would
require, bn expedition of greater magnitude
than both Generals could raise. A calculation
was-made: 5,000 men could be spared for the
expedition; Gen. Mitohel decided that U
should be made, and placed Gen. Negley in
command of it. “When |can yon put your
troops ■in motion,’* asked Mitchel. To
night," mid Negley. ’’Then I will go to
bed,’’ Mid MUebol, and ,the interview ended,
Le.terdUiatUffed with fhe plan.
THE MARCH UPOK CHATTAHOOOA.
At 4 o'clock on the next morning the troops
of Gen. Negley were In motion at Columbia,
on the way to Pulaski. ‘ By. a*special train
tho General reaohed Columbia the same .day;.
Prom there he telegraphed to Gov. Johnson,
and Gen. Morgan, in front of Cumheriand
Gap, the purpose of the expedition. Hesaid
to Morgan that fie should be: in front of
Chattanooga on the Sthiof June, and that it
was feis holier that tbej movement would re
sult in tho evacuation of Cumberland Gap—
that the rebels laid more stress on tho posi
tion at McMinnviUe and the results it prem
ised, than they did on the Gap. He pushed
forward, takes the command at the head or
the column, and enter*! Pulaski on the 29tb.
On the Slat he i» Fayetteville, where he re
ceived more intimations of ( danger at Mur
freesboro, and is required by Mltohel to look
to that place and • reinforce it. Examining
these document* oloselyr.r am inclined to
think that Mitohel wa* fearful of the result,
and trying to shirt thV. responsibihty. He
•ays in thl* dispatch that he is at a loss to un
derstand Beauregard’s j movements, the evac
uation of Corinth taking place at this time.
Neeley’s reply Is to the effect that if the ex
pedltion.i* pushed forward and the road cut
at* Chattanooga, the eTJumaUonofConnth
will be in vain, and that It.is his belief, that
Beauregard is passing cits Chattanooga east.
On June Sd, the march having been resumed,
JS«giey enters Winchester, dispersing a small
force and captnring several prisoners. On
the 4th of Jane, GenJ Morgan thanks Gen.
Negley for his advice; and wants to know
what forco'is moving against Chattanooga.
And on the same day enter* Bweed
en’s Cove, attacks, disperses ana pursues
Staru. I-need not recount the incidents of
that hand to hand encounter of ,the cavalry
which resulted in so signal a defeat of the
rebels; On the sth Inst., he is at Jasper—
beyond his new base of supplies, and bo be
gins to look about him at, his flanks; .He
puts Coi. SiU*a.brig»de-at Shell M©und,iq
protect hit right. HcTputc;» regiment »t
Battle Creek to protect the left and to bold
the pontoon bridge oyer the ereek-_ He then
orders Turchin’s brigade by one road and Col.
Hambright’j by the Anderson road to Chatta
nooga. 'Qa the 6th he Is there. On the 7th
the fight takes pto°e, *nd on tbe..«venlng; of
the Bib, be;bftgibs tojretlre.
■ j /! CREDIT.
WhogotAhe credit. Hambright and
Tarohln had a newspaper quarrel for it.
Neither deserved It, | Mitchel telegraphed to
the War Departmentthesubitanoeef Negley s
dispatches and while Negley remMnod
sUonU Such a silence was injustice to him
self—to the men he brought with Jtafeom
th# Keystone State, and to tho friends he left
thorewbotakenpri&ein him asaman.and
officer. Gen-Mitchel got the credit because
I he claimed It, anil do not know hut what he
'deserved It for tho vary reason that ho claimed
it; Vbu will hot deny that those wlw read

OUR SPECIAL DISPATCHES.
[Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.}
Wishikgtos, August 3, 1862,
GBSBOITB POETiIE OHIO BITER.
Got. Dennison, Mr. Gurley, and th« rest of
the Ohio Committee, had a long interview
with Capt. Fox, Aaaiatant Secretary of the
Navy, on Saturday. They repfcaented tho
exposed condition of Ohio and Indiana, along
tho Kentucky border, and that no military
force, however large and woll managed, could
adequately protect tho whole border from such
incoraion of gnerrlllaß ae the recent ono into
Indiana, which tend to keep op conltant
alarm, and to feed the hopei and encourage
the audaoity of Beceaaioniata throughout Ken
tacky.
They found the Navy Department very cor
dial in co-operating in their view*. It wa*
agreed on all hand* that the Government
could not afford to permit tho rebel, to gain
tho immenae moral effect in encouraging their
people, and stimulating them to renewed
effort., which theao guerrUla invaaiona were
certain to give them. Ihoyimuat on no ao
oount be permitted to believe they can invade
northenaaoil with impunity. It waa believed
that no way waa ao effectual for guarding the
border aa an efficient gunboat force on the
Ohio river.' After full conference, therefore,
the Navy Department promised the
Committee :aa many gunbcats for service ex
clusively in the Ohio river as they wanted.
Ten small hoata, drawing only two feet, have
already booh aoleetedandlnspected by agents
of thqNavy Department.
The Secretary promised that a heavy Tore©
should at once be set to work to cat these
boats dowb, put on thick wooden bulwarks,
and plate with iron after the most approved
models. Each boat is calculated to carry two
guns, and be able to patrol the Ohio'river any
where from its month to Pittsburgh. These
boats will ibe harried, through, mounted, and
pat In commission immediately.
It is believed that when they are plaeed on
the river will danger of gaorritla Invasions will
be at an lend. Two wooden gunboats were
able to preserve order along the whole Ten
nestee river while that country was' in the
hands of ibe enemy, and It is believed, there
fore, that ten iron clods will form ample police
force for tibe Ohio.

THE COHDITIOS Of KMTOCBT.
A letter has been received here from Garret
Davis, fully confirming the’views of the
present condition of Kentnoky, recently or god
by the Ohio Committee, and urging tho neces
sity of a epeedy relief to the U nion men
of Kentnoky. The express belief is that
Morgan's raid bae etrengthened the seces
sionists and diepirited the loyalists, and
eay great ’ appreheneions exist that tbo
experiment will be repoatod on a larger
sealo, withavlew of getting over tho border
if possible, the ttret favorable opportunity.
The recent movement* for a call of an extra
session of tho Kentucky. Legislature orginkted
with Union men, who believed that the crisis
demands a lodgement of such powers aa is
usually entrusted to tho Governor in Borne'
loyal hands. They also desired to take steps
for having Kentucky raise her quota of troops
under tho now call, and for having them em
ployed mainly within tho Slate . itself. The
General to have oommand of tho forces Qen.

Kentnoky and along tbo border ' has not yet

a general good enough to be placed at the
head of such a department is foo good to be
spared now from service in thofiold.
(Jen. Rousseau has been moro talked of than
any] other, but no proapoot of getting him

and bolioved here that the now Merrimao has

and that she is hourly expected to make tho
alttempt to come down' further.
AU the Federal gunboats have passed up 1
beyond Harrison's Landing,and not one is.
now In sight.; J
A detachment of infantry and cavalry fromj
Gen. McClellan's army madeareoonnoissancej
down the Ohickahominy through Diascund,;
and came on toward Williamsburg till they:
met our piokets, and then returned,-after re
porting to Fortress Monroe, by telegraph,
<hat in their rtconnoissaneo they had seen
nothing of the enemy. - J . , 1
Later- The -mail boat from Harrison s
Landing arrived at Fortress Monroe at a
quarter to three this p. m., and brings thefol* 1
lowing information:
Last night between 12 and 1 o clook, the
rebels opened fire on the centre of Gen. Mc-
Clellan's army, which continued for about an
hour and a half, from four rebel batteries of
flying artillery, opposite the Landing—some
above and some below. They threw shell of
six and twelve pounds, round and conical, and
not one of them exploded, Tho firing, no
donbt, was intended for our eamps, but many
of the shot fell short, and they did. but little
mischief to the shipping, which waa laying at
the landing, and at anobor in the stream.
Several vessels and steamers were struck. It
is reported that nine of our men were killed
and three wounded. |
It being in the dead of night, andjoor army_
in expectation of an attack in front,: there was
some delay before oar guns opened fire. Th
half an hoar, however, the siege guns wei*
brought to bpar upoo them, and in. less than
forty minutes tho rebels were silenced. The
1 firing was very • brisk while it oontlnued.
Many of the rebels shell were thrown ov<jr
, smong onr camps, but they did not explode.
All the explosions which took place occurred
some distance from the camps, and this as
- counts for so few being injured.
It is thought that tbe motive of the Rebels
in this aotion was to draw the Federal gup-
boat* down the-rive? to enable their boats—
the new Merrimao «fcc.—»to pass out. !
The rebel*, it U estimated, threw overfire
hundred ahells, which lay, this: morning,
scattered profusely over the field,: and some
lodged in tho masts of vessels.
All that is known of tho fate of the rebels
is that they fled, and this morning the trees
where they bad their batteries, presented a
shattered appearanCe/many being cutSjem
pletely down. ■
We could learn nothing more about the
new Merrimao than has boon already reported,
and heard nothing to oontradiot the state
ments already published. {
There was one Federal gunboat near the
landing, which opened fire immediately
the enemy, bat they did not appear to notice
It, as they were so intent on shelling iur
camps. ,
If the rebels motive was to draw our gdn-.
boats down: the river, they were unsuccessful
in their efforts, fuir not a single gunboat made
Its appearance save the one already there in
the right spot.
WaßßlsoTos, Augudt 3.—lt U said ! in

declsivo action is to b<J taken in;pro«ecut|on
