PITTSBURGH AS IT IS. shortcoming's ami Needed Reforms, .XUiIBBJi KINg THE KIRK DKI’AKTM KNT n\s WANT OK GOV ERNMENT 1 LLY DIRECTED EXERTIONS FIAKLJU EMc'Y OF FA LS K ALA KMB, AC. ♦ Ilia generally conceded that in no city in the United States are the firemen more heroic andeaergitic than in our own Iron City; in* deed their courage is so groat that it frequently amounts to recklessness ot life and limr. We have known many instances in which our brave llremen have rushed into burning build* logs, to enter which seomed to be almost certain destruction, when exposure of their persons could do little if any good, and the chaoces of their being boned under falling walls were greater than those of making a safe exit. All* this is very praiseworthy, but there is no good reason why, in their excitement, they should so carelessly endanger lives, valuable* to their lamilies and to the community at large. If tho fire department of our city per fectly organized and the officers eolqcied for the purpose had a proper degree of coqtrol over the individual members ibo necessity and in centive for rushing into danger thus unheeded would be obviated, and if the operations of the department wore better managed and more properly systematized our indefatigable fire men would work to much better advantage. Whether this can be done here, under the vol unteer system, remains to be seen; if It cannot, then i( is timo we had a thoroughly organized, equipped and paid lire department. Ho one who goes to a fire in this city fails to notice the alacrity and almost superhuman en ergy with which our firemen labor, often ex hausting themselves so much as to be unfit for anything for days. But it is equally apparent that they often do too much work. Lacking the great essential of a governing bead who can direct their exertions, control tneir motions and command obedience (which cannot be ex pected from volunteers) U is evident that tbe different companies must often work at cross purposes and thus, materially impair the value of their services. We have seen half a dozen streams of water played on a building so far consumed as to be utterly valueless, for half an hour, while adjoining buildings, in imminent danger of taking lire, were left without pree lection. Again, we have seen buildings, where a slight tiro had been extinguished by buckets of water, before the arrival of the engines, lit erally deluged with water and entire stocks of goods destroyed, though the owners and occu pants of the house vainly endeavored, (after informing them that the fire war out) to dis suade tbe firemen from playing. There has been a marked reform in this during tbe past few years, the organization being now much better than formerly, but there is room for much more improvement. The principal dif ficulty lies here: Our companies, being obliged to support tbeir own apparatus and pay tbeir own expenses, with only a small allowance of $4OO per annum from the city ) feel naturally independent and though united in a “Fire man's Association" axe. not disposed to yield obedience in every particular to tho Chief Engineer and bis assistants. They seem to be determined to work at a fire as they 6ee proper or not at all, and consequently the orders of tbe Chief, when given, are frequently ignored, ansl, the individual members notbeiog under pay, it becomes a matter of necessity to over look acts of insubordination, as it would be unjust to saddle the company with the offence of one or more members by imposing the only possible penalty, expulsion from the Associa tion. This slate of affairs would seem to de monstrate the necessity of the organization of a paid fire department, every member of which should be amenable to the superior officer of his company and they to the head of tbe de partment. Then a command would be law, and disobedience or neglect of duty might be punished bya dismissal from the service, which, as the department is now organized, would be oo hardship, the firemen generally receiving ♦‘more kicks than coppers," and too often more oemure than thanks. We believe that with such an organization (even though tho expense were quadrupled) the destruction of property by fire would be far leaf. than at present. *■ J There is another crying evil which demands attention here, viz: the frequency of false alarms, doing more, in our opinion, to weaken the efficiency of the fire-department, than any thing else. By tho report of the Chief Engin eer, at the last quarterly meeting of the Assc. elation,it appears that to twenty-five fires there were fifteen false alarms, and, without having kept a record of the number, we give it as our opinion that during the present quarter tho proportion has been even greater. Scarcely a Saturday night passes but (the fire-boys being anxious for a '‘jrun,’ )Jau alarm is raised, most generally without cause. Now, among those who observe the courso of events, an alarm of fire on Saturday night is considered as a mat ter of conrse, and when there is really a fire it is difficult to arouse the citizens. The inju rious efiecls of this castom are quite apparent, as if false alarms are allowed to become so fre quent as of late, not only will tbe citizens dis regard them, but the firemen, wearied of run ning continually at the first tap of the bell, to no purpose, will begin tojneglect its cal), and they will soon lose that promptitude of action which has characterized them, and the result will be a heavy loss of properly, owing to w'-rdiness, which might otherwise have been preserved. There is an ordinance (see City Digest; p. 119; eh. XXVi, Bee. 1 ) imposing a penalty of $4 for Tinging any public bell, after sun-set, without authority; y«t we only rememoer of one arrest, in three years, for raising a false alarm. A determination to enforce this pro vision, on tbe part of the city authortiies, and a few examples, would soon prevent this fre quent recurrence of false alarms. The en lorcement of this clause should be demanded by the firemen and citizens generally. We had intended making some reference to the necessity of a central fire alarm, recently broached in the Firemen’s Association, but this, with somo remarks upon the appropria tions oude by the city to fire companies and the force pf engines we have, must form tbe subject of A&other article. March Term op thk Court of Quarter Sbssiqnb.— The March term of the Court of Quarter Session* commenced yesterday morn ing at ten o'clock. Tbe lists of grand and petit jurors were called over, and the former sworn and charged by Judge McClure, who pointed out their duties and made some suggestions relative to their power to find true bills when they .have no information before them. The jury'retired, and about one-fourth of the con* stables in the county made their returns of llquor*sellers. The court then adjourned until to day. The following officers have been appointed for the term : Crier, Capt. Charles Roberts : Tipstaves, Robert Neillie, John W. Patterson, John C. Smith, Robert Hague, L. Mitchell, Wash. Swain, Jonathan Neely. The number of names on the jail calender for this term is fifty-six. They are charged with the following offenses, some on two or more indictments: Larceny, 34; Selling li. quer, 1 ; Malicious mischief, 1 ; Fornieation .-.nd bastardy, 2; Surely of tbe peace, 7 ; Re reiving stolen goods, 4 ; Highway robbery, 3 ; Passing counterfeit money., 2; Assault and battery, 10; Seduction, 1; Burglary, 1 ; Dis* orderly bouse, H ; Biot, 1; Assault and bat tery with intent to kill, 2; Murder, 1; Per jury, 1; Biguny, 1. - lisp?*'’: ■ 'Vi'K-. _** I i •■:, - -* ‘•V, '‘i., : OH Operations, popster well was tested last week, situ» ated in Dry llollow, above Franklin, on the river. Oil was struck some time 6ince, but a pump was put into it for the first time on Fri day evening, and on Saturday morning forty barrels of oil were pumped in six hours with a horse power as a motive force. Tbe machin ery gave way, and the well since that time has bfcsn idle. The fortunate company, Messrs. Ayers, McKinney, Nicklin and others, will have an engine on the ground in a few days. From present indications this is one of the richest veins yet struck. A great excitemont has recently sprung up among land owners and others in the counties of Western New York—especially in Erie, Chautaqua and Niagara—on account of the discovery of deposits of oil in somo localities, like those in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and tho indications that these underground oleaginous deposits exist all through that region of coun try. Extensive preparations are making to bore for oil and secure it if found, and the price of land is going up. It is said that oil has beenstruck at Industrv, Beaver county. There is also a good show in some wells just below the village The shore of the Ohio river, from Kocbester to Liverpool, is lined with derricks. It is announced that Messrs. Morrison and Cummins, who have been sinking a well near Steubenville, have struck oil at a depth of twenty feet. They had been but eight days at work when their eyes were gladdened with a sight of the gre»se. They intend boring deeper, and are still at work. A Lucky Prisoner—Pardoned by Mic take.—A good joke is current with res pest to a pardon recently granted by Gov, Curtin. It seems that a werthy and influential German citizen, wbofelfan interest in a fellow coun tryman named Miller, sent to the Penitentiary not longsloce, for passing counterfeit money: visited the Stato capital, about a rnonlh ago, for tbe purpose of procuring a psrdim for him. After a comullatton with Gov. Curtin he came home with tbe assurance that the par don would be sent on the following meantimo. The papers in the application for a pardon in the case of a young man named Mitchell, con fined in the Penitentiary for larceny, were also on file in Harrioburg, and the Governor, remembering bis promise, hut confounding tbe names, bad the necessary papers for tbe pardon of Mitchell made out and forwarded at the time designated. Whether the Gover nor’s promise to our military friend has been yet redeemed, wo are not advised; if not, the other pardon should bo forwarded at once, as Miller should not suffer through the Gover nor's bad memory, when it wo* tbe intention to pardon hirn. Too pardon of M ilebeli,though tho result of a mistake, wa3 woil deserved, as since his release he has given every evidence of having become thoroughly reformed. So "all’s well that ends well." The Manchester Passenger Railway Company having expressed a determination to resume the running of cars on Sunday, tbe people of Allegheny (or at least some of them) have grown virtuously indignant and say they will make information against them. The probable result of this will be that Mayor Drum will impose tho penalty and that the company will then appeal to Court, where the question is whether the fact that the lino is a United States mail route will exAmpt thejn. The question is one in whioh many are con cerned. Many conscientious pooplo bol:evo there is no harm in a poor man riding to church in a railway car, while ht* rich neigh bor goes to church in his carriage; and others, equally as conscientious, think tbe cars should be stopped because some people will uso them for goiDg outof the city to seek unholy amuse menu. It is time the rights of these cutnpa* nies were defined. Death krim Intemperance —Nancy Duf fy, wife of Patrick Duffy, residing near tho corner of Webster and Crawford streets, in the SixtfTWArd, died from the effects of drunk enness, on Saturday evenirg. ller husband had procured a gallon of whisky and in com pany with three or four friends had prep&rul for a regular spree. At two o'clock Mrs. Duffy was go drunk that sbo had to bo lifted from the floor to tho bed, and at six o'clock she was found d<*ad when some member of tho family went to wake her for supper. Sbo was forty years of age, and the mother of five children. Tub Lloyds opened to a fine audierco at Concert Hall ia-L evening and were cordiailt received, as was to bo expected. The perfor mance was go->d, as usual, tnd embraced even songs and jokes. A now and varied program me is ( tiered ior to-night and wo advise all who iove fun to be present as they can here enjoy themselves to their hearts content. But two more opportunities remain of hearing this excellent company and u»u>e who ne glect them will regret it. .Joseph and his Brethren was produced at tho Theatre Uat evening for the first time, in excellent style, with new scenery, proper ties and decorations. A cood audienco was present. Mias Denin appeared in the prin cipal character, Joseph, and was received in a manner which showed that her popularity had not Buffered since her last visit. The manage ment deservo credit for the admirable produc tion of this play and wo hope to see it draw well. It is on the bills again for this evening. The Suspended Banks.—A bill has been read in tho Senate requiring tho Auditor Gen eral to examine what banks have forfeited thoir charters by refusal to pay gold and silver, and report them to the Attorney General, who is instructed to proceed against them, and com* pel a forfeiture ol their charters within twontv days, in accordance with tho general banking act of 1850. The Canals —The Western Division ul tho Pennsylvania Cana! is now in full opera tion, and on the Eastern Division tho water is being let in. It will bo roady for business to day, when tho wholo line of canals from Havre De Grace to Wilkosbarro will be upon. The repairs being made on the Juniata canals will prevent their opening before tho first of April. A CORRESPONDENT of the Sundat/ Dispatch is now in the city. In the last number of that paper he is quite eevoro on tho V. M. C. A , but seems to have been well pleased in listen ing to a discourse delivered by Kev. E M. Van Dußen, of St. PoteVs. The religious de partment of the Dispatch is full of interest, and deservedly, being admirably conducted.

Thus far thoir efforts have been most successful, as, taking into con sideration tbo stringent times and general apathy concerning amusomonls, they have dmwn excellent houses. Indeed, cheap amuse monts wili be sought after for a time ; and as those competent to judue inform us that an excellent entertainment is offered at Masonic Hall, at the popular figures of ten and fifteen cents, the new establishment must do a good business. On Saturday nights, especially, the ball is crowded ; and the afternoon entertain ments, on Saturdays, 'or ladies and children, are also well attended.

W. gcrauton, Washington City, March 2'j .Semite On motion of Mr. Halo, of New Hampshire, his resolution for the election of Sergeant-aU Arms and Doorkeeper wa3 laid over for the present. On motion of Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, U was Resolved , That the President be requested, if not incompatible with the public interests, to communicate the dispatches from Major Anderson to the War Department during the time that he has been in command of Fort Sumpter. Mr. Howe, of Wisconsin, resumed his speech in opposition to Mr. Douglas’ resolution call ing for information relative to the Southern forts. Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, replied. He said that if the War Departmeet does not possess the information which the resolution he had offered calls for, no harm could result from an answer to that effect, if the information has been imparted to the Confederate S.ates, and our eoemies are in possession of it, there would be no harm in letting our friends have it. But he apprehended that tho furnishing of this in formation would tend to allay the public ex citement. He supposed there was no danger to Fort Sumpter, as he understood that the order had been given for its evacuation. But the question he desired to get at was whether Fort Pickens was to be held merely as a cause of irritation—as a thorn festering in the finger and producing disease. If it was not national but lQ£jfcl in its character, it ought to be sur rendered to those who hold the harbor. It ought not to be retained by tho federal govern ment unless it was designed as the basis of an opposition against the seceded states. He wanted to find out whether we were to have peaco or war. He believed, however, the pol icy of the Administration to be peace. The Senator trom Wisconsin had said that his (Douglas’) remarks were calculated to belittle the Administration, but be bad only said there is no power in the government to collect the revenue and blockade the ports of the seceded states, and that the President cannot use mili tary force excepting in aid of the civil author ities. Hence, the threat to do either of these things without legal authority was a threat to violate the Constitution and lawsof the United States. Was it wtfce to delude the people tirto 7 a belief that the Administration is going to do what the Constitution and the laws do not permit? Mr. Howo (interrupting) said the Senator, instead of summoning the representatives of the people to provide ike necessary means for collecting tho revenue, summoned the govern ment to abandon any attempt to collect it. Mr. Douglas replied that during the last session, when the Republicans were rushing through a bill to destroy tho revenue he en deavored to prevent it, but they would not listen to the warning, and he apprehended there would be an extra session to undo what was then recklessly and unconsciously done. Mr. Breckinridge wished to reply to Mr. Douglas, but a motion to gb into executive session Tbe Senate subsequently adjourned. Washington, March 25. —Tbe number of office-seekers in Washington seems to be increasing. The Departments continue to be thronged with them, much to tho interruption of public business. The removals will be numerous in the civil branches of the govern ment, and take place as soon as they can be prepared for official action. This assurance is repeatedly given to tbe impatient expectants. The applications by letier number from four to five hundred daily. Wm. Jayne, of Illi nois, has been nominated for Governor of Da kotab. Detective Keese, of this city, has seized,, and retains by order of the court, bogus and coun terfeit notes on twenty-seven banks, amount ing to two huodrod thousand dollars, with plates and dies for their manufacture. The larger packages contain ihe following: 80,- (JtMi counterfeits on the Bank of Augusta, Me. ; 50,000 unsigned counterfeits on the State bank of Ohio; 80,000 bogus notes on the Columbia bank of Washington ; 80,000 counterfeits on and Mechanics’ bank of Virginia, and.OOO of seven denominations, all counter feits of the Camden bank, New Jersey, and four plates on the same bank. There are also dies of tbe denomination of ten cents, one dollar and two dollar and a half gold pieces. W AsniNGTON, March 26 —The Charleston Courier, of Friday, says that Surgeon Fox of the U. S. Navy, had arrived with orders from Washington to visit and report in relation to the conditibn of Fort Sumter. He was per mitted to visit Major Anderson, oq condition of being accompanied by Captain Hartstein. Tho Courier also reports the arrival of Mr. Holmes, formerly a member of Congress from South Carolina. He says that before he left Washington, Mr. Seward desired him so tell the people of Charleston, that he was for a peaceful settlement, and would do everything in his power for an amicable adjustment of affairs. Mr. Holmes also reports that Gen. Scott gave similar assurances, and that the President favors the policy, and that & major ity of tbe Cabinet desire a withdrawal of the troops from Fort Pickens as well as Fort Su mter. Independence, M*roh24 —The New Mex ican mail with dates to the llih instant arrived to-day, being only thirteen days out. C&pt. Halloway, Lt. Boico and Lt. Kelly of the U. S. A., came through as passengers. Lieut. Kelly has resigned his commission, and is en route for Louisiana to join the Southern Con federacy. Capt. Holloway reports an abundance of stores for the army in New Mexico, with the exception of flour, which iB very scarce. There is great scarcity of provisions among tbe people of New Mexico, and some suffering is anticipated. Col. Loring, who takes com* mand of the department of New Mexico, was met at Fort Wise getting along very well. Washington, March 26. —A special dis patch to the Eerald says : There has been some change in the programme about Fort Sumter since Col Lamon left. lam inclined to believe that the evacuation is to be consti tutional ; that is, that Col. Lamon is author ised to examine the provisions now in that fort, and if he is satisfied there is not a Buffi, cient supply to sustain tho troops now in the fort, then to deliver the President’s orders to Major Anderson. I have no official authority for this declaration, but circumstantial evi dence leads to such a conclusion. Scranton, Pa., March 24.—The Hon. G. W. Scranton, member of Congress from this distriot, died at his residence here, to-day. ' V,' . ' % *?v Atchison, March 23.— The special commit tee of the Kansas Conference of the M. E. Church, to wham was referred the question of the drouth and destitution in Kansas, have made a report which was unanimously adopted. They say : “Wfe have beeft careful to gain all the Information necessary to the formation of a correct opinion from ministeis representing all parts of the State, and declare Firstly, that in October last there were not provisions enough in the Slate, nor means to procure them with, to preserve more than one* half of the people from starvation. Secondly, notwithstanding all the aid that, has been afforded us, the most of our popula tion have had butiittle for their sustenance except corn* bread, with a little meat a part of the time. Thirdly, from all accounts, we have no doubt that the various statements of facts in regard to our condition, made by Messrs. Pomeroy, Maher and Hyatt, have been prompted by the purest motives, and are sub stantially correct, and that we tender them our special thanks. Fourthly, we have reason to believe that all counter statments, emanating from the pressor other sources, have been in ignorance of the facta, or through some interested motives. Fifthly, that in our judgment the donations of our friends in the East have, in most every instance, reached their destined object. Sixthly, we desire in this formal manner to expiess our hetartfelt thanks to all our kind donors, and assure them that their combined liberality has saved the lives of thousands, and prevented an untold amount of suffering. Seventhly. It is now several months till harvest, and we have but little in store, and we pray oar friends not to stay their hands till we shall 1.0 able to realize something from cur own resources. The report is signed by Messrs. Brooks, Moore, Tcnny, Haan, Stukeman and Paulson, Committee. Louis, March 25.—The unconditional Coaventfon, to-day, nominated John How foi Mayor. Resolutions were adopted 'declaring the present depressed financial condition of the country the result of the disunion more* ment, and In favor of the present economical system of the city 1 administration. 1 A special dispatch to the Democrat announces the passage of the Metropolitan police bill in the House, by 60 against 32, and doubtless it has already received the signature of the Gov ernor . , New York, March 25.—A daring, to rob the New York Exchange Bank , was discovered this morning.
