We wish to direct the attention of maebta
• UU, engineers,. wad ot hers, to an improved
toraw wrenob, the Invention of Messrs. Hollen
APierco, oMndiana county, patented Febru
ary 26thj 1802. Tbls wrench'has bo many ad*
. vantages ovec.tha ordinary wrenches - that it
bids fair to supercede them all. It la olaimed
for it—that It wilt work Where any other kind
•f wrentoh can be used; and'is available in
many circamßtances where -other wrenches are
useless. It can be used on rods as well ar
nuts, and would be rateable to gas fitters. It
is self-adjusting, and by this, means one
wronelfwU! do tlje work of many, adapting
itself to all sizes of nuts and burrs. It Is
strong laud durable; simple, in construc
tion, and can bo; tofdCat a reasonable price.
Our pressman pronounces it-the best wrench
hebaaever seen. Machinists, and all others
interested, can see tho wrench by ealllng on
the proprietors, who win'remain at the Man*

Goon.—-Information was received here yes
terday -from Washington City, to. the effect
that any county furnishing volunteers suffi ■
"cioutto fill the quota under both the recent
calls, would be exempt from drafting. If this
is the case, Allegheny county will undoubt

that the government will extend the time for
volunteering until the 6rst of the coming

FROM YESTERDAY 1 ! BVBNING GAZETTE.
Volunteering vs. Drafting.
The greatest dsiire-ls everywhere manifcst
ed to learn whether volanteen under the see* '
ond quota of the call for 300,000 men, will be
accepted in lien of a draft, and placed to the
credit of the proper coanty. With the view
of having this question definitely settled, Mr.
Howe, Chairman of the County ,-Committee,
has been in telegraphic communication with
the Secretary of War, and the Governor of the
State, but while enterr* have been received
from Mr. Stanton and Adjutant General Bus
sell, thoy aft not definite and conclusive; and
are consequently, withheld from publication
for the present, to avoid farther complication.
We may state, howdver, where the difficul
ty lies. The War Department calls for troops
from the several States, without regard t&dis
tricts or counties, leaving that matter to the
State authorities, while oq the other band the
Governor seems unablo to giTe positive assur
ances touching the matter in controversy until
full regulations are reoeived from the War De
partment relative to the draft.
It is now eoTtaln that Allegheny Coanty can
fill her second quota easily, and will do so, if
the. men are aooep£ed in lieu of the draft. But
If she is to get no credit for them, on the draft,
It would be ruinous tb the business and manu
facturing Interests to send so many men Into
the field, and then be subjected to a draft be
side. It would result In closing nearly all
our manufactories.
'.lt' ls eitimated'that at least 2,000 men are
now regularly enlisted and sworn in for three
years, under the hollef that they will be
aooeptedvinstead of drafted militia; and if
this difficulty. was only removed, the quota
could be filled up In ten days. If the time for
recruiting was extended to the Qrst of Ooto
bsr, there is little doubt that Pennsylvania
would furnish all the men required of her,
without a draft. We are positive Allegheny
county eo» do so. Bat the difficulties to
whiob we ellade-must first bo removed.:
The_4Glh Re(lment»Fltt>bnrgheri
Killed and* Taken Prisoner*.
From statements preriously made by tele
graph, It it evident that the 40th Pennsylva
nia regiment, under command of Col. Snipe,
Buffered Tory in the battle of Cedar
Ban. Tberesre two companies from this city
in that regiment—one under command of
Copt. Bon. W. Morgan, and'the other ‘nndor
.CapU Win. L. Foulk. We are at yet without
details in reference to the part taken by those
but as the regiment was under a
most galling and destructive fire, we may ex
pect to see a painful list of casualties when the
facts are made known.
Capt. Morgan has telegraphedto hi* mother,
Mrs. 8. Morgan, (corner of Smlthfleld street
and Diamond alley) as follows:
“I am well. Lieutenant Craig was wonsded.
Lieut. Mathew* was'kiUed, or taken prisoner.
Several of my men were killed, wounded and
taken prisoners. B. W. Moboah,
Capt. Co.F, 40th Pa. Vol.”
LieaU Mathews resided in this city, and bis
friends are exceedingly anxious to ascertain
his fate.
Nothing has beon beard from Capt. Fonlk,
batlt is presumed be escaped nnbnrt, ai Capt.
Morgan wouldbave probably stated the fact
if he had Wen' injured.
• The two companies named are
almost exclusively of Pittsburghers, and great
anxiety is exhibited among their friends here
to learn the details, .whloh will doubtless he
received In a day or two.
Amit of an Alleged Spy.
The Harrisburg 2W«yrap& of Monday, says:
On Saturday, upon the Information of a
merchant of Pittsburgh, an Irishman Whose
name we*could not learn, was arrested <at the
boarding bonse of Mr. Denning, in Seoond
street, below the square, charged with being
a rebel spy. From what we oould gather of
the particulars. It seems that the merchant
and Irishman were fellow passengers in the
train from Pittsburgh yesterday; and that
during the passage the latter) indulged lu tho
most disrespectful language against the Gov*
ernmect and our armyj and conducted.’him*
self generally in a manner, to arouse among
tho passengers tho strongest suspicion of'his
loyalty. The Irishman was taken to the
.Frovost Marshal's office,to Third street,where
bo was thoroughly searched, and his, trunk'
examined; but with wbat-xesatt has.nottraos
ptred. ids stated that the prisoner was born
in the north of Ireland, and has only been in
this country for a few months. .
Since the shore was written, we understand
tho Irishman gave his name as I. P. David*
son. He has been banded over to the civil
authorities, and will have a ’ hearing before
Mayor Eepnor for uttering trtasonable lan
guage.
The Great Scalllng Hatch.
We observe by the Philadelphia papers that
the great souUiog matob'for tbe champion
ship, which is-to take place on the Schuylkill,
on Wednesday and Thursday, between Ward;
of New York; and Homill, of Pittsburgh, Is
attracting considerable attention, and hun
dreds of stranger* are centering at Phlladel
~phia~towitoo**-the contest*—lt- ls.es lima ted'
that at least one hundred and fifty persons
have left this city to be present on the occa
sion, and many are leaving in every train.:
Tho race, on Wednesday, will be three miles,'
and that on Thursday, five miles. The skill
and endurance of both men will be strongly:
tested, and R will then be decided whether
tbe champion belt shall remain on the sea
board, or be .transferred to a western. Inland
town. , : i.
Tho Nine Months Volunteers,
It is not known when the ninomonths men
will go into camp here. The contractors,
Messrs. Bungy A Smith, say, that the camp
cannot be made ready >ft>r occupancy before
Saturday, and it Is possible that the troops
will not be orderod in till next week. In the
meantime, the strangers are lodglog at the
various hotels and boarding houses, white
tho'ie'resident hete are gpnbrally with, their
TAmiilss*-. They drill more or less each day,
and are compelled to answer roll.eall reg-.
. ularly. ■ i'!
There are now more troops at Harrisburg
than can be well accommodated at Camp Car
tin, and the probability Is that oar men will
be kept in eamp here for several weeks.

asd Amsbioah Ujuok.— This exceedingly in*,
genioui and beautiful device is the invention
of N; Mendel Shafer, £sq.,of the,Cincinnati
bar. The idea it works out to a very, success
ful and ploasing result, Is, th*t of presenting
the political and judicial relations of tho'Fed •
era! Colon—in a word, of the whole system
ufgovernment~of the United States,' aia bffdy v
politic, by not only delineating the several;
elites,'or, members composing the body} but
also all together by a system of
lines, of thosignHJcantand symbolic colors,
red and blue, relieving the more numerous
black linos which show at • jglaftce the whole
represontiulvo systeui, both as’ Tespecti the
separate States; and. - the' .Congress' of the'
United States. • ;On the whole we regard it as
a singularly ingeolooi and instructive repre
seotation to the eye of tho whole system of
our government—a politico-physical obart of

mirably, In his usual vein—and the artist has

Doctor Thomas Dickson.
Seeoßsion has slain another victim.' In tbe
death of Dr. Thomas Dickson we;repord the
second death among the medical man who
went from our midst to James river, to tho
relief of our sick and wounded soldiers, after
that glorious, jmt sad and melanoholy to*
treat. -r-
Poor Dr. WbilesoU, andnow poor Dr. Tom,
(thus we all knew him, this was a rapect/ul
sobriquet) bavo gone away, never to roturn,
leaving many friends to regret their early and
sudden death, and, each of them, a fond wife
and children to mourn a bittor and very sad
bereavement—father and husband cut down
in the very aomej.of vigorous manhood and
successful piofeasiooal duty.
Dr. Dickson was born in Cecil county, Mary*
laud. He was about eight years old when bis
parents emigrated to Western Pennsylvania.
His classical studies were pursued in Jefferson
College, Cannonsburg,.and he Cook his medi
oal degree in the University of New York.
In 1862 he want* to/Europe to visit some of
tho most rioted medical school!,' land spent
most of bl> timo in tlxsso of Paris, London;
and Edinburgh. ;
jin asserting that tbe'Dootor bad the largost
edieal practice in Pittsburgh, we do not ex
ceed the truth. No medical man hero did the
immense work that he has done.. Ho. was
strangely devoted t} hi* profession, nothing
interested hiuL.dcepjy.that shared, not. itith it
—no pleasures had fasoination for him equal
to that of his dally-irnrhiimang and
suffering. You might Sod more profound
.medMai|»hUosophi’ts,vbukdL.irouid tm impos
sible to find any one wh'» hadVraoriTviried
aud correct knowledge of praclidslimedlcil
science. Whatever physical sufferiiig
befall mankindj cUimed sod obuinext hie at
tention and thought;'&nd;.in bis most suc
cessful oareer, when patients too numerous for
his time and attenurm surrounded .him; he
ever manifested a kind and stncerely hotirte
ous demeanor towards the most abjeotjor for
saken, that had oome importunately to his:
clinic. The temptation which hourly besets
the successful medical practitioner, audio
frequently him . sour, aogry and sen
tentious, never appeared to ruffle his temper,
or rob him, .for a moment, of that: gentle:
kindness which over characterised his do-'
mennor. ;;
Ho was an enthusiast in his .profession, and
hailed every improvement with delight: this
led him, as it sometimes, does ardebt end'
hopeful natures, to excessive 'oobfidjence'ahd
expectation in nsw measures,; and tbuiraffprd
ed opportunity Ao unfriendly; ridiouio and un*‘
generous satire. The eitremea of* cold seep-'
ticism, and ardent: faith and hope, are to be
conservative, not to tbe extentthat knowledge
has penetrated, but to the limit;pf its'own'
narrow attainments—the other prqgreaiiv.e—
the glory of cur age, which. Longfellow has
beautifully idealised in his poem “Excelsior.”
Of this latter school, the Doctor Was a loyal
disciple, and the extensive patronage which
crowned his plearly,demonstrated that,;
“the age,” recognised and rewarded him as
true, faithful and worthy son.
It has fallen to cur lot to meet and observe
many modlcalmen, and we eSd iineerely tes
tify that, as a physiplan, [husband., father,;
brother and friend,-the Doator'a like is hard
to find In this unfriendly' world. Tbe an
guish of tho bereaved widow and orphans—
the deep sad grief of-hi* -two brothers— tho
evident sorrow of many friends on the day of
his interment, and the sincere lamentations
which we hourly hear from his patrons, all

THE HEWS FBOH GEN. POPE’S ARMY.
Washington, August 12.— Tlie news from
Qen. Pope’e army to-day, and private.advices
from officers just arrived, a much more
favorable impression of the result of the en
gagement. Jackson's retreat is believed to
be a necessity, growing out of bis knowledge
of our plans and fear of csptuVe, unless ho
mado a speedy escape from the trap closing
around him.
BUHOBS OF A MOVEMENT OF M CLCLLAH’S ARMY,
The. town is fall of Tumors about move
ments of McClellan’s army, land stories are
afiott that they are at Yorktownl, or at other
points dUferent'from tbei" lato location.
DBAFIIHOIS DELAWARE.
TAo Delaware delegation are hsro soring
about drafting in their State. They would
like to have the draft postponed till after the
State election, if possible, bat, as yet, have
no hopes of that. They wiut it arranged so
that their Governor of doubtful loyal’y can.
not have power to make the draft press une
qually on different classes, and so serve parly
aims. As the next ele'clion'ln Delaware is to
be whether she will have a loyal Legislature
and a loyal United Stkter Senator, they hope
loyal men will at lca&tieceivc a fair show in
the approaching draft.
THE DRAFT JX S^TATCS.
It begins to.be sutod will be no
-draft in Kentucky. ‘ Itis. aupposedio be cer
tain there will be none tVfilF &it 'tho call for

to have a draft,.and probably the: remainder
of the border States, afao,'

BEERCB OF OASBIUB V.. CLAY.
Cassius M. Clay made a lengthy speech at
the Ladies’ Soldier Relief Fair to-night. It
was mainly devoted to bin view.* of tho pres
ent aspect of ourforelgu aff.iim aud to person
al matters. He said he waj ouly one of our
foreign Ministers been singled out
for..-abuse in European papers in interest of
th# rebels, which he took as a compliment to
himself, and an ovidenee of his firmness to bis
country’s cause. England he spoko of as our
bittsrestenemy—withamallgn press, inspect
ed by Government, and truthfully -represent
ing iU spirit. Francs, he insisted, was not
uofriendly: 1 Americans had imbibed unjust
ideas on 1 this subject, jololy by tbe creation
reporu of .the Tbe Emperor;
was known to be'frlohdly to'the country. He
cited official statements in papers whioh were
Li our favor, and utterly denied that France
desired to interfere, but said porsistent efforts
had been.made by the British press to tsakeus
beliove she did.
. .Of Rdasia Lo .oould hardly find words
■enougirto express his admiration.* ’ He spoke
of tha.Cxar si one.of our. greatest and wisest:
Of monaVobs, and referred to hli benoficent
emancipation policy. 110 declared that the
Uoircd Statoa could roly implicitly oo hfr
friendship in nay emergency. Ho’ was assur*
red, farther, that England knows Russia and
-Fradoe to firm friends of this country; and
wcttlff/ttißTtfore,- hot dare te intojfere with onr
efforts for tbe tmppression.of the rebellion.
'.With reference to our war policy, he urged
. thecarueat prosecution of the war, using every
.moans In our power‘to crush the rebellion.
He was ready to serve tbe government, here,

United States Ocmerals there in command to
compel every citizen to take tho oath of alio

The merchants of those cities now have
confidence to go on with their business, and
this enterprise being now properly encouraged
by oar Government.
In regard to the occupation and evacuation
of Malvern Hill by Pederal troops ilittle has
been said. Oar reconnoitering division took
possession on Tuesday, and on that day, all
the Generals of the army vent op, and Gen.
McClellan sent baek for the' greater part of
his army, but the messengers took the wrong
road, and thus were delayed fo long 1 that the
troops did not reaoh Malvern until lj was too
late, and only a portion of those sent for arriv
ed at all, and those only in soason to beat a
hasty retreat, !
This was on Wednesday morning, and on
that day agreat battle would have been fought
had forces arrived in season. But as some of
them were approaohing, and in sight of Mal
vern Hill, there was a. very large , force-of
rebels seen coming from Richmond, number
ing at least 10,000 men, filling ail the roads,
passages, ways and vacant lots as far as the
eye could reach. Retreat was consequently
made to Harrison’s Landing.
Gen. McClellan had plannnd for 1 a great
battle; bat the enemy were not asleep, and
have taken possession of Malvern HUI, with
an immense army.
Norfolk has been in a state of exoitement.
A few days since, an officer of the Provost
Guard applied to Gen. Mansfield, of {Snfielk,
for permission to search a house in fhat city
for arms. Authoritywas given, and
arms and ammunition to some extent
were found in several private dwellings near
the General's quarters fast night, in Norfolk.
Triple guards was put bn duty. This was
not done until many guards had been shot
down. t . .

Wabhikotos, Aug. 12. —Capt. George Tpu
nett/ of Gen. Princo’s staff, was t morlslly
shot in the, breast. , ,
The ' "Pennsylvania escaped without
loss, haying been detached to gharil,*i signal
station, eight orten miles southwest of the
battle' field, early in the day. They returned
yesterday, escorting the signal officers, al
though oompellod to pass near the enemy’s
pickets.
* Oo Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, while
Gena. Pope and Banks were in conference in
the rear of oar batteries, a body of the ene
my’s cavalry gorged in the most daring
manuer through the woods on our front upon
the group. The diaohargo of musketry and
tbo whlizlng of the balls near them gave
timely notice of the rebels’ approaoh. Their
hones were'speedily mounted, and a regiment
of infantry fired a volley, cheeking the charge,
and probably saving both our commanders.
Gen. Buford, with his cavalry command,
orrivod at Culpepper on Saturday from Madi
son. Previous io his departure thence he
sent a roeonnoissance to the Rapidan, where
he fouod a force of the enemy on the south,
but none on tho north, side of the river.
Dr. Leland was shot in tho eyo.
The other regiments • have not been heard
from yet definitely.
Stragglers from the battle-field to the town
havo all been arrested by order of-Gca. Pope,
and by to morrow a list of the missing can be
obtained. . .. *
/riiiMt.—A telegram from Culpepper, dated
to-day, says all was quiet last night and this
morning.
Col. Donnelly, of.iiie New York 28th regi
ment is stilt alive, lut In aslnblng condition.
The other wonnded officers are generally doing
well.
From Gen. Jlaford’s Command,
CeLrtrpEii, Ta, Auf. 11.—The brigado of
oavairy under com nand of Gen. Buford made
a ttcsceht on Madison Court House; on Tues
day, and found that the rebels had been there,
but had left. He made a reconnoisiance in
every direction, and metrobe! pickets on every
road.
On the 7th, the picket* on the road to Stan*
nardflvillo had a skirmish, losing one killed
and three wounded, Oq the next day; the Ist
Maryland had another skirmish, on the or
ange Court House, in which they lost five
killed and fire wounded, and about a dosen
tuken prisoners. Bepig reinforced by the Ist
Michigan, the rebels were driven to the Rap
idan.
A strong reconnoiasanoe was made on tho«
samo ovening to tho Rapldan, on the Orango
road, and a skirmish was g .ing on without
loss, when orders came from Gen. Buford- to
return .to Madison Court House. The party
got book at 0 a. m., on the oth, and found ev
ery thing roady for a retreat towards Sperry
ville, as the rebels were approaching from
overy direction.
The party reaohed Woodville in safety, and
there baited, and reaehed Culpepper on Mon
day night.
The escape of this brigade is considered al
most miraculous, ar they were surrounded
on all sides, end all gave the party up as lost.
Gen. Bufort deserves great praise i for the
able manner in whioh he extricated his com
mand from such a perilous-position. ,

will be given granting one. He must account
for his absence by sending to the Adjutant
