Mr. Editor :—Altbough not personally
acquainted with you, yet I ant a constant
reader of your valuab'e paper, and there
fore feel desirous of letting you bear from
us There is nothing unusual going - On in

played in equiping the brigade which is
tam& filling up, and I have no doubt but
what it will be complete before a week.—
The Second New York fire Zwave Regis.
meat is here, and a liner looking set of men
never saw, they all being young, from
e to thirty, they are to be dressed
in a blue Zouave uniform which looks
very well, 1 think they will be a match for
Eliy of Davis' Confederates. The First
and Second Regiments will be equiped by
the first of the week, and it is reported
that they have marching orders and will
leave for Washington by the middle of
the week. Our regiment, the Fifth, is not
yet full, there being Out six complete com
panies, although we have been assured that
it will be full in a few days. Major Olm
stead informed me that we would have
marching orders in a short time. Our boys
are all anxious to see service.
The brigade will be re-uniformed, the
uniform will consist of dark blue rounda
bouts and sky blue pants, which will please
us =eh better than the one we have at
present. We see a great many Pittsburgh
en here, I believe all who visit the Empire
oily make it a point to give us a call, and
we are always happy to meet them. On
Wednesday last our chaplin presented each
man in the regiment with a havelock
which adds much to our comfort. Some of
our friends In Pittsburgh send us a bundle
of papers each Week, which serves the
boys with reading matter. The insubordi
nation of the men which manifested itself
before they were sworn in, has entirely dis
appeared, and that discipline which should
mark all military camps is now rigidly en
forced, and the best of order prevails. Niie
have learned with regret that Capt. Glass'
health is not improving very fast, and that
be will not be able to be with us for some
time. Capt. G. is much loved and respect.

the absence of our Captain the entire com+
wand of the company has fallen upon him,
and his duties have been very ardius ins

with much credit to himself. lie is high

We are all very well satisfied with our

health of the camp is excellent, there n6t,

CONNZCTIONS WITH THE SOUTH. —While
it is not easy to get letters and news,,apers
to points in the rebellious States, we believe
it is not generally known that telegraphic
connection is still uninterrupted. Gentle
men having friends' in Charleston, New
Orleans, Montgomery or Richmond, may
be gild-to know that by paying a sum not
unreasonabTe;Cousidering the luxury it ob
tains, they can send,essages from New
York to any of these points, at any hoar
of the day, with the certainty that they
will be received with but a very few hours'
delay, and that an answer may be had the
same day. Thus says the New York Post.
As Pittsburgh is in constant telegraphic
communication with New York city, the
same facilities exist here.
Is our paper of the Bth instant, while
speaking of the celebration of the Fourth
of July at Elizabeth, we mentioned that
the dinner had been gratuitously furnished
by the patriotic citizens of that borougb.
We should have.said that the dinner upon
that occasion, which was a most bountiful
repast, was voluntarily furnished without
money and without price, by the patriotic
citizens of the township and borough of
Elizabeth. We take pleasure in making
the correction, as the merit of furnishing
a good dinner in these times free of charge
should certainly be given to whom credit
Is due.
PERSONS doing business in this city
should examine the assessment for city
basilicas tax., at the City Treasurer's office,
Fourth street, and if over asseaaed have it
corrected immediately, for alter the first
clay of August no reduction can be had
only through the tedious process of peti
tioning Councils; and even then it is doubt
ful. The five per cent discount also ceases
on the first day of August, and those who
wish to save it had better call early, and
not put off the payment of their city taxes
and water rents until the last few days in
this month or they might unavoidably be
crowded out.
ARREST OF SAMUEL .1. RF.A.—The a'
rest at Martinsburg, Va., of Samuel J.
Rea, is announced by order of General
Patterson, in command of the Union tomes
at that point. Mr. Rea was correspondent
at the time for the N. Y. Herald, and is
well known here. He was at one time
Clerk of the House, at Harrisburg, and
has for several years acted as a newspaper
correspondent at the Capitol, besides
taking an active part in politics.
MOOPB.—The requisition of the Secrek
tary of War upon Governor Curt n, ren
ders it probable that the Pennsylvania Re
serve will soon be called into service.—
When the three months' regiments time
shall have expired, there is no doubt that
Pennsylvania will be called upon for at
least twenty more regiments. These will
include such of the three months' regi
ments as may choose to remain in the field
and such others as may be recruited.
- Tax MOUNTAIN HO ink,—We learn that
this delightful place . Zsitmmer resort is
fast filling up. We are informed that the
House was never better kept than this year.
Mr. Mullin is determined that his guests
shall want for nothing, elLeerin the shape
of comfort or luxury. Gen. Robert An
derson and his family will remain there
during the season. Now is the time to go
to Cresson.
Roar RAcs.—.Near the Drover's Home,
Penn street, on Wednesday afternoon, at
three o'clock, a foot race will come off be
tween John F. tcott, "the champion" who
defeated Sullivan on tho Fourth of July,
and the Chicago "Rattler," for the sum of
twenty-five dollars. Great sport may be
expected.

Serious Cutting affray iu the Fifth
W ard.
Last evening an affray occurred in a
disorderly Lagar Beer faloon in tht4 l'tfth
Ward, on Penn street, kept by a lira.
Waggoner, which resulted in cue null! be
ing vary dangerously wounded and au,ther
badly out.
It appears that a party of won in Mrs
Waggonei's bagnio got to quarreling over
their cups, when thrro or tour of them set
upon a soldier named William A Young,
of Washington county. said to belong to
company D, Ninth Regiment, Peansyl,
vents Reserve, now stationed at Oamp
Wright, and beat him severely over the
head with chairs and whatever else they
could lay their hands on. He drew his
knife and pitched into them tight and left,
wounding tom, the party—one of them
dangerously.
In the melee, Erances Welch, a heater
at Shoenb,erger's rolling-mill, received a
cut in the left side, made with a very large
knife. The wound was two and a half
inches wide, and seven inches deep, ex
tending upward towards the shoulder.—
The wounded man was attended by Dr.
Duncan and a German physician whose
name we did not learn. The medical gen
tlemen were of opinion that no large artery
or vein was severed, and that the wound,
although, a very dangerous one, was not
necessarily fatal. Welt.lh was taken to the
Hospital.
A man named Owen Hughes was also
- cut, but not very seriously.
Alderman J. H. Jones gave his prompt
attention to the case, and Young was taken
in custody and committed to prison to
awaitthe result of Welch's wounds.
An information was made against Mrs.
Waggoner, at whose house the affray oc..
tarred, before Alderman Jones, and she
was committed to jail in default of bail
for keeping a disorderly bawdy house.
Young, who is, we believe, Orderly Sar
geant of his company, claims to have used
his knife in self defence, but in advance of
a legal investigation of the affair no corD
rest opinion of the rights and wrongs of
the case can be formed.
CAPT. KENNEDY, of the Duquesne
Greys, arrived in the city on Sunday, and
will remain for a few days on recruiting
duty, by order of Col. Campbell of the
12th. Capt. Kennedy is a true soldier,
always prompt at the post of duty and al
ways welcome among his friends.

WASHINGTON, July 15.—The Sanitary
Commission has just closed its third ses
sion in Washington, where its first meet=
ing was held a month ago. The commis
sion is now thoroughly organized and
working effectually, and its agents are
busily at work in the principal military
encampments. They report the result of
their inquiries and labors daily by mail to
the headquarters of the commission, in the
Treasury building. Several of the corn=
missioners, and a considerable number of
agents, are continually employed at the
seat of war. The result of the inquiries
thus pursued at all the encampments, front
Cairo to Eastern Virginia, have enabled
the Commissioners to act definitely and
efficiently upon a great variety of practical
questions that are of vital importance to
the life and health of the soldier. The fol
lowing are among the leading questions
discussed and acted upon during the pre,
sent session of the Commission:
First. Payment of soldiers' wages, by
allotments or by Treasury orders, for ths
benefit of their families and themselvea
Second. The condition and wants of the
army in and near Washington, and a like
report from the encampments at Fortress
Monroe, and a similar report from the
western encampments visited by the Pre
sident. Third. Measures for improving
camp police and regimental hygiene.—;
Fourth Special reports from various in
specting agents of the Commission. Fifth.
Improvement in the soldiers' rations and
regimental censure. Sixth. The diminu
tion or prevention of intemperance in t 1
army. Seventh. The enlistment of com
petent cooks in every regiment. Eighth.
Nursing and the better care of the sick and
wounded.
Abstracts of the several reports were
ordered to be published in document form.
They are in press, and will soon be furn
ished to the public. The Treasurer's re..
port exhibits the pleasing fact that the la.
bore of this Commission are appreciated by
the Life Insurance Companies, a single
company having contributed one thousand
dollars to the treasury. A code of instruc
tions to Agents of the Commission was
agreed upon, and ordered to be published.
A concise manual of advice to military of..
deers, giving plain directions respecting
camp police, military hygiene, and rules
for the soldiers health, was presented by a
Committee, and a large edition ordered to
be published and gratuitously distributed
in the army.
The Commission have opened a depot o
reception and distribution of clothing and
delicacies for the volunteers, and have in
structed their agents to closely fullow up
their inquiries by such suggestions and ef.
sorts as may be necessary to secure the ef
fectual reformation of the defects and evils
they meet with. After deciding upon the
plan of effort to be pursued until the next
meeting, the Commission adjourned on
Saturday afternom and those of its mem
bers who could be spared from duty at
Washington proceeded to Fortress al oa
roe.
A resolution has been prepared and will
be probably introduced in the House to
morrow, instructing the Committee of
Elections to inquire and report as to wheth
er the Hon. Henry, May, representative
from Maryland, now in Bichmcnd, has
boen or is now holding treasonable corres
pondence with the enemy, and whether his
seat shall not be declared vacant. May
has not yet appeared here this session.
The House Committee on Commerce will
make a favorable report on the bill for the
employment of secret signals on dispatch
and other naval vessels.
Lluravilax, July 15.—Joseph bolt,
Esq , on Saturday evening, addressed an.l
audience, one third of which was com-„
posed of ladies, densely packing the largest; l
hall in the city, in an unconditional Union . ;
speech, which was received with raptuous
applause.
The Charleston Courier suggests thati
agents be appointed to receive subscriptions,
of rice, and other confederate productions,
to sustain the Eleuthera cause. The New
Orleans Delta says the New York Marine

as pirates, insurance companies will be lia-•
ble. A special dispatch from Richmond,
to the 'Braes says that several prominent;
prisoners, who have heretofore been on
parole, were tollay confined, because of
the action of the Federal authorities rela
tive to Southern privateers. The Charles
ton Mercury tells its country reader* to
save their goose quills, as the stook of,.
steel pens will soon give out.
The New Orleans Delta of the 11th,
says : Further persistence by the Confed
erate States in endeavoring to obtain the
recognition of our nationality has not the
courage nor the Inclination to apply to the
Confederate States the rules which she has
uniformly applied to other nations. It
says too much importance has been as
signed to the idea that France and England
would break the blockade to get Southern
products. The editor proposes to recall
the Commissioners and refuse resident
consuls of all powers which will not recd
ognize similar officers of the Confederate
States abroad.
CINCINNATI, July 15.—A train arrived
at Grafton at ten o'clock this morning,
bringing the body of General Garnett, late

The rebels were completely routed by
Gen. Morris' column, and all their camp
equipage captured, wish many prisoners
and fifty killed. The loss on our side—four
of the Ohio Fourteenth killed, and a few
wounded. The rebels scattered in every
direction.

that it is the opinion of the Governor at
Cienfugos that Spanish laws will not let
him hold us. We expect to hear from
Havana. Letter from Cahusac Si Bris.,
