We understand that Samuel Long,*'high constable of AUe ' gheny, has been chosen First Lieutentant of Capt. Clark's company. So Allegheny is ' likely to be deprived of her popular and effi cient Mayor, and no less efficient high con stablo. * In addition to the above, three other com panies are about completed, if not already full—to wit: The Keystone Infantry, Capt. . Bayne; the Watt Infantry, Capt. Maxwell, and Capt.

Btrot Oni Boole Table* AxiM* THI PIKS” By Edhcsd Kirks. —We have; already noticed this remarkable work, on several occasions;—more than once fee it appeared from month to month in the Continental Monthly, and subsequently when it was published in a volume. Here we' have it from the publisher in a new form—ln a new and oheap edition, which, we doubt not, will sell by thousands and tens of "thousands. Such are its merits, both in a literary point of view, and as a work pregnant with the most profitable teachings for the times, in the striking and truthful views of slavery in the Southern States, which it so vividly presents, that we rejoice to see U rendered still more accessible to the'reading publio by this cheap form of publication, which, by the is quite as elegant and at tractive In oVery respect as the mere expen sive edition first published. Mr. W. A. Gildesfenney, 45 Fifth street, is the agent for the publisher, J. E. Gilmore. New York. Sicokd Scales or Tram's Union Spkschkb. of Gaorge Franaia Train, da livered io England during the present war, have formed one of fho remarkable features of our time. Bold,' racy, piquant, they both commended and won a large share of pnbtio attention even in great Britain, spite of John Boll's prejudices ~&hd self-complaoency, to whieb they paid no degree of deference. No one oan secure so muoh refreshing reading, for an outlay of 25 cents, as by calling at Mr. Miner's and tendering that amount for this Second Series of Train's Speeches. —Mr. W. A. Gildenfenney, 45 Fifth street, has also received the Second Series of Train’s Union Speeohes. T. B. Peterson A Brothers, of Philadelphia, are the publishers. The Gold Excitement in Ohio, It turns out that the supposed discovery of gold in Tuscarawas oounty, Ohio, was a com plete humbug. After much labor, excite ment, expense and trouble, the. gold babble bunted'—the high expectations of realizing a princely fortune by digging up a few'shovels of earth, vanished like mist beforo the noon day "sun. By a minute examination, a few: days ago, by chemical process, to the great disappointment of hundreds of citizens, the* reported gold proves to be nothing but mere «teo—a minersfof a foliated structure, tkfn scales, having a shining surface, the constit uent parte of which aro granite, gneiss and mica slate, and does not contain a particle of gold. Another New Company. Mr. Jeremiah M. Sample, of Allegheny, is about recruiting a company for the war, and expats to open this morning at stand No. 2, Diamond, Allegheny. Mr. Sample is well known, and a highly esteemed citizen, a mem ber of'Beayer Street M. E. Church, and Su perintendent of the Becond Ward Mission Sabbath School. He has two sons in the Union army, and although well advanced in years, he is determined to* enter service himself as Captain. His First Lieu tenant will be Israel V. Hoag, a gentleman el great energy and integrity of character. Under their direction, the ranks cannot be long in filling up with good men. State Senate. Pittsburgh, July 6, 1862. Afewr*. Editor «ln the midst of the ex citement "attending the levy of new troops, we should not forget the civil duties which will devolve upon us. ' As the time for select dog candidates for office.approaches, I desire through your columns, on behalf of many per sons with whom I have consulted, to urge upon the people the return to the Senate ol our present very able and efficient member, E. H. Irish, Esq. For the last two years we have been able to point with pride to the members of the Senate from Allegheny coun ty, for every person abouUHarriaburgh ac knowledged their ability, industry and un swerving honesty. Amidst the corruptions of the past two years, when the country was astounded by the magnitude of the frauds perpetrated, and the character of the men who yielded to the.temptation 2 Messrs. Irish and . Penny were not merely pure, but above suspi cion. They were known throughout the State, and their character for honesty, ability and attention to business was such as to give them great influence in tho councils of the State. Their action throughout their terms of office has received In all cases the unqualified approbation of cureitisoos. Why then should we make a change. Mr. Irish baa performed hts duty-well,{let us then retain his services, for, without disparagement to the other aspi rants for the {position, there Is no question ' that he can exort a greater influence than a new man. He'has made an exieuiive\ec quaintanee, established a character, and b&s an intimate'knowledge of the details of legis elation, all of which 'are essential to the effi cient performances of his 'duties. But io ‘Addition to all these considerations there is another of more importance. When one of oar officers passes through the ordeal of Har risburg life unsoathed, and brings baok to bis constituents a reputation untarnished, it is our duty to show our appreciation of the man, by a renewal of our confidence. We now have a man who fills the Jeffer sonlon standard, he is u honest and eapabte,” let ns not try new men, but retalp one we know and can trust. Tblbd Ward. Concerning Drafting. Eds, Gazette .- In making op the quota of troops required from Allegheny county i the reoent requisition of the President, ought not the list of proper subjects for draft to be prepared by the Commissioners with reference to what the different sections of the county have already done in the bray of .volunteering. To illustrate: A certain district in the county has already offered every young man within Us limits, with the exception of three. This number may, quite likely, be reduced to two, before the Item which chronicles the foot is read by the neighbors of bne of tbe gentlemen in question. Within half an hour's ride of this locality there Is another of a three-fold greaterpopnlatibn, which,! am informed, has only since theoutstartof tbe rebel lion, some five or six recruits altogether. ; Hew, should the - loyal neighborhood first alludod to be made to supply,-after the deple tion already undergone,aproportionate num ber of men with the other, I willnot say dis loyal, but delinquent one ? '■ If that be the case; and if the case be a gen eral one, then—to say nothing of the irregular apportionment of responsibility—the result may show that the ballot-box, One of these .days, may proTe an enemy in the rear more to be dreaded than the bayonets in front of our army. • • Patriot. .

" slur fßOfi YESTERDAYS EVENING GAZETTE. , Jefferson college Exercises. On Sabbath, Augustlk), the anniversaries of Jefferson College were commenced by a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Allegheny city, before the Religions Societies of the College. In the evening the President of the College delivered a baccalaureate before the gradua ting olass. On Monday, the 4th Inst.,-the'exercises of the Religious Societies were held. These per formances ooonpied about an hour and a half, and were listened to with considerable inter est. On Tuesday evening'the exercises of the Literary Societies came off. These were qnite interesting, indeed. The valedictory of the Philo Society was delivered by W. 0. Camp bell, of Butler, Pa. A response was made by J. H. Weis, of Sbmferstown, Pa. In behalf of the Franklin Society a valedic tory was delivered by J. G. Sloan, of Dan ningsvillo, Pa. A response was made by E. S. Riggs, of Sharon, Pa. About 8 o’clock the Rev. Dr. Sloane, of New York, was Introduced to a largo audience, and delivered a very eloquent address on “Re ligion, Law and Liberty—Their Relation to the Present War." A part of the audience attempted to hiss him once or twice, bnt the students cheered him so loudly that the hisses were oompletely drowned. On Wednesday, Providence Hall was filled to overflowing by a large and appreciative audlenoe, to hear the exercises of tne senior olass. The English Salutatory was delivered by R. Graoy Ferguses, Dry Run, Pa., who was the happy recipient of the fourth honor. The Latin Salutatory, by P. S. Jennings, Allegheny county, was well spoken, but, of ooorse, attracted but little-attention. Iu au thor competed for and won the third honor. The Greek Salutatory was delivered by A. J. Caldwell, who obtained the second honor. The attention of the audience was then gained by a stirring speech on the “Price of Victory,’’ by P. H Aguew, Beaver, Pa. The characteristics of -“True Patriotism” , were faithfully delineated in an oration by J. J. Bollville. This was followed by a clear, convincing and telling speech on the “Elements of Suo oess,” by A. H. Brown, Saltsbnrg, Pa. E. T. Jeffers then entertained tbeandienee with a disquisition on “The Constitution.” “ Reason and Faith,” by J. R. Johnson, Coshooton, Ohio, next olaimed the attention of the audience. “ The Trials of the Republic,” were graphi cally described by S. B. Mcßride, Cannons burg, Pa. “Antagonism,” as displayed in the contest between truth and error, liberty and tyranny, law and rebellion, was happily treated by H. N. Potter, Cannonaborg. Wallace Radcliff, of Pittsburgh, Pa., fol lowed with an oration; the aubjeot—“ Devo tion to Troth,” was pretty thoroughly han dled and the composition admirably executed. “ Crime, Its own Retribution,” was strange ly but strikingly-dreated by R. H. Rohlaod, Mansfield, Ohio. The addresses were closed with a “ valedic tory oration,” by B. F. Woodburn, Alleghe ny city, Pa., who took the first honor. The aqtbor displayed an unwunted depth ef thought and skill in composition. The degree of A. B. was conferred on fifty young men of the graduating olass. Shocking Accident. On Wednesday night, a woman named Rlngeling, wife of Jacob on Pride street, In the Eighth ward, was so shockingly burned by caralestptias in filling a lamp, that she is not expected to recover. The lamp becoming empty,.and not wishing to extinguish Removed the burn er, and commenced jtouring in oil from a can, bolding the burning wick so close that ther vapor ignited, exploding the can, and cover ing herself with the burning fluid. liariog children in tbo room, she fled to another part of the house, and thenee to a porch, where she fell writhing in pain—her clothing having been nearly all burnt off. Her face, breast, arms, and in f%cftho entire front part of her body, was frightfully and deeply burned. She is about twenty-six years'of age, and has a child only six weeks old. Dr. Walter is doing all in bis power to save her, but tho suffice is so very large, and the injury ro deep, that he bas little hope of her recovery. Killed, in Battle* Mr. Paul Crawford, of Allegheny City, has received a letter from F. Dick, dated Harrison's Landing, Va., July 25th, from wbleh we extract the following : "JTonr brother, Robert Crawford, was killed instantly on tbe 25th of June, on the battle field near Fair Oaks, while gallantly fighting for his eonntry. He was a noble little sol dier, and I was proud of him. Von all have my deepest sympathies in your bereavement.
