FRIDAY MORPit AUG. 30 FATAL UALLROILD ACCIDENT - On Wed needay evening, about tire o'clock, as the fast line on the Pennsylvania Railroad was nearing Wilkinsburg, an unknown man, evidently a laborer dressed in coarse grey and carrying a bundle, whu was sitting on the platform of the third car, fell oil and his foot catching in one of the stops ha wag dragged several reds along the track and -haled instantly before the train could be checked. The body was brought to the city on the accommodation train in the evening and yesterday morning the Coro% ner held an Inquest. The evidence showed that the man seemed drciwsy at half drunk and though told to go infante the car, re. fused, and that he had no ticket. The jo ryfound a verdict of accider tal death.— The,body,is at Williams' undertaker shop, Diamond street, near Grant, awaiting ideititication. NOTHING CONTRA TI A,. ND Fo min.—Two Jews.from New York city traveling South with their families, wore arrested on the arrival of the express train from the Esst yesterday and taken before Mayor Wilson, the large amount of baggage they carried (twenty.three trunks) exciting a suspicion that .; , ,they were conveying contraband goods South. They were searched and also their, baggage, but nothing suspicious foura. Ii seems that they had been doing business In New York and had large sums of money due them in the Confederate States end were removing South for the Purpose of securing them, if possible.— They were released upon this explanation, and the facts that no contraband goods werefound with them, and permitted to resumelhelr journey. Tait' PENN SYLVIINIA CANAL.—We nn• derstand that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have made a contract for the re pair of the Western division of the canal, between this city and Freeport, and that one hundred hands have been sent to Free. port to repair the damage by the late freshet. This large force will be detailed upon the dock and breaks below the town. The dock, which was about two hundred feet long, was swept away, including the twostgne ibutmeras. The workmen are excavating the foundation for erecting about ten - feet of stone work, from which will be built tresses work thirty feet high, to sustain the superstructure. It is expect. ed that it will be so far completed in three weeks ea to let boats pass. The damage done to the canal will require an expend!. Lure of $30,000. A NAanow ESCAPE —Yesterday morn ing a lady named Atkinson, traveling to the West, stopped at a milliner shop to make some purchases and laid her porta monnaie, containing some twenty-fourdol. lars,upon the counter. A news-boy coming in could not resist the temptation to pick it up and make awaY with it. The loss was soon discovered and the little fellow was.found, having agreed to divide it with abomrade.

NEAR 1 Washington City, Aug. 27, 1801. f DEAR Pi ST rain, it has done nothing but rain for. the past week, yes ! it has been six or seven days, since Old Sol dared show his brazen face, and I suppose you can judge by former letters of what a comfortabie time one has during such weather. But to what) dull care away we were wont to meet in one another's tents and pass away an hour or so in so cial jest, arid in talkinebver "Old Pitts burgh" matters generally. But the space once occupied by the Friend Rifles is now vacant, they having started off yesterday on picket, to be gone three or four days I feel the absence of our boys deeply, and am quite lest in the evening—not know.. ing where to go to while away an hour or so. I look anxiously for their hasty return. Two of the number came into camp tovday on military duty, and inform.. ed me that they were progressing finely, and that they were fully supplied with melons and fruits of other varieties in abundance, by the Union people in the vicinity, and 1 feel assured that they aro I just the boys to punish all such luxuries.' I think I have not as yet informed you of the receipt of the new rifle by our cumpar I ny. They are ones formerly used by some regiment in the Bull Run engagement, and are of the fuse lock pattern, firing 40 charges without re-capping. They are somewhat lighter than the musket former., ly used by the company, and have the ad. dition of a movable site, from 100 to 1,000 yards, after the style of Sharpe'e rifle site. They are : now fully (quipped and in good fighting order, and anxious that some thing may turn tip that trey may have a good opportunity of making good their promises.. Four or five of the company remain behind, and are guests of mine, being unable, from several causes, such as sore feet, chills, &c , to accompany the boys on the excursiem. There is one thing, however, that can be said in regard to our Co , they have never as yet had a member occupy a ward in the Hospital, vita versa, the Michigan company, composed of strong, athletic men, or comparatively so in looks, who have fiad the greatest number, and not a day passes, that they are not at Sure goon's call, with the best string of names, on the sick report. My impression is that our boys regard c'eanlinees and temper ante, as great promoter of good health, while the other companies aro not at all acquainted with the fact, or if so, do not put it into practice. The 6th Regiment of our Brigade is encamped in our vicin ity—the Pittsburgh U. S. /.wave Cadets compose a part of it; they are to receive their rifled muskets next week, at least one of the members notified me to that effect. The members are in fine spirits, and look as in days of yore. As yet, we have had but one Pittaburgher among us, Robert Cheater, Esq , of the N. Y. 79th Highland Regiment, who was on an official visit, and a hasty one at that—l had not ti e pleas• ure of seeing him personally. There are numerous complaints against the postal arrangements here; a great many have never received letters and papers sent them here, and I am informed of the non.receipt of mail matter sent from here; there is un doubtedly a screw loose some where, and I hope some endeavor will be made to tighten it, for it is greatly , to the inconvenience of us volunteers. Ourpresent camp is well supplied by Dame Nature fur our wants, there is a spring of pure running water a few paces in oar rear, and fruit of many kinds are peddled around camp, at coin. paratively low prices. We are also quite handy to the city, where we receive our daily supply of the staff of life, and we are comfortably as well as healthfully situ ated. To-morrow is the day appointed for the pay master's welcome arrival; it has been looked for by us for many weeks; there aro many empty purses in camp, I assure you, and some poor fel lows have no purses at all, but 1 feel confident, that they will find a place of security for the par funds handed them by the P. M.—l.e: if the Sutler has not a bet ter claim to it than they—which I am afraid will be the case with a great many, for instance, those who purchase sugar crackers at a penny each and other articles in proportion. We were somewhat afraid, a day or two since, that the health of our Camp would be affected by several hases of measles, which were brought to the Hosp. tal from Co: 0, (Michigan) but it has not spread any farther as yet. The patients who are affected are now convalescent and no new cases are reported at Surgeon's Headquarters. We are to have a full Brass Band soon, in fact, it is expected to morrow, from New York, and it will most certainly prove a great addition to our Regiment, both in regard to looks and utility. Capt. Brunn has been anxiously awaiting Dave HMIs, with his band of recruits, for there are so many of our Company on extra duty that he needs a few men badly, to fill up the ranks to the number required by the U. S. A. regula tions. The box sent via. Mr. Evans (on his first visit) arrived just previous to the departure of the Company, and there was a feast, you had better believe. It was a great while coming, but none the leis wel. come. Some few articles perished by the delay, but the bulk was in pretty good or der, letters and all. Although the letters had contained facts known to us two or three days previous, still they were read with gusto, for we could reed a letter from home even were it six months in coming. However, dear Post, as I have my Hospital duties to attend to, you will, for the pres ent, excuse further writing and for a time adieu. Truly Yours, .R. C. H. UNIFORM OF ARMY NUM/38.—The style of dress which the Military Board has ordered the army nurses to wear is thus described: The color is bright brown; no crinoline; dress reaches half dray between the knee and ankle; upper sleeve loose, gathered at the wrist, pantalettes same color, wide, but gathered tight around the ankles; black hat, with plumes or feathers of same color; feet dressed in Morocco boots. AGRICULTURAL.—The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Managers of the Allegheny copri f ty Agricultural Society was held 'on Tusiiiday. It was stated by the members present that the wheat crop was full average, the corn crop the best for siz years, and the potato crop the best for fifteen years: It was said that the grapes this year are unsurpassed for quantity and quality. APPOrNTIOLIST.-.-COL John N. Par viance, of Butler, has been appointed Pay master of the United States army.

REPINING OF CARI3OIf 011..—1 n the Court of Common Pleas, on Tuesday, before Judge Mellon, the case of William Mc- Keown, adjudged guilty of a violation of the Allegheny city ordinance against refin ing oil within the city limits, and a fine imposed. was argued on an appeal. E. H. SIWA3, E-q , appeared for Mr. McKeown, S. Szbo;er, jr , Esq , for the city of Alle• gheny, and J. I. Kuhn, Esq , as private counsel in favor of the ordinance. The questions raised were whether the City Councils bad the power to pass the ordie nanco, and whether it was valid, and whether, if so, Mr. ,McKeown, from the fact that be had been engaged in the busi- ness previous to the passage thereof, was liable to its pains and penalties. One of the grounds taken by Mr. Stowe was that the city could nut even regulate a trade, much less restrain it for any reason, unless by virtue of an express act of Legislature. On the other hand it was as strenuously al leged that for regulations of police reason ably exorcised and for the public benefit, the corporation inctdentally, by the very act of incorporation and more broadly by a general section of the charter, could reg ulate a trade even to the point of restraint. The decision of the Court was reserved, but the question will moat probaLly, in any event, be sent to a higher court.. To THE COLLECTORS APP_INTED BY THE COMMITTEE ON RELIEF :—Gents: We would make one more appeal to you, in behalf of the families of the volunteers who are absent in the service of their country. We would ask you, or rather beg of you, at once to return your books, with whatever money you have or can raise for this benevtlent and most patri otic purpose. Bithert,, uur appeals have been made under the unpleasant anticipation that our means would soon be exhausted—though there was stiil something left. But now, the "wolf is at the door" In very truth.— Sadly, and most earnestly, we assure you, that unless this request shall be complied with we shall not be able to give relief for more than one week longer. May we hope that the grievous necessities of the case will induce you to prompt and efficient action 1 Respectfully, R MILLER, JR., Chairman of Committee. Office at the Western Insurance Co.'s Rooms, No. 92 Water street. MiL ITlLlitzs. —l7lO W Tieeling Prrs , has the following: " Two regiments of cavalry aro now be— ing organized in this vicinity under the direction of our State government, for service in Western Virginia. One of them, it is understood, Lieut. Antisaneell,former ly of the "Ringgold Cavalry," is to com mand. The Colonel for the other has not been named. Fred Lander was offered it, but having accepted a Brigadier General ship, at request, of Gen. McClellan, he will probably not aspire to the Colonelcy. "Capt. Barker's Dragoons, of Chicago, who arrived hero on Saturday, left yester. day for Washington City. They were to go as far as Pittsburgh, mounted, and traveling on the ordinary roads. This is an independent company which was organ. ized before the present law regulating cavalry was passed ; and all the horses were furnished by one man, for the ser vices of which be receives fifty cents per day, and is to be paid for the horses wilin killed." ICEP TO TUE lianay.—A correappricient wishes us to call the attention of persons walking our pavements to the necessity of always keeping to the right. In New York the whole population pours into Broadway and though there are four times the num ber crowding that thoroughfare that will be found in any single street in this city, everybody keeps on his course with out Interrupting others cr being turned aside himself, simply because he observes the rule always to turn to the right. The convenience of this rule is so obvious that we should scarcely think it required any urging to make it invariabliadopted, did we not know that a great many persons aot in most common affairs without any rule at all or any idea that the act is governed by rule R. .ESUMPTION Or TRAVEL ON THE PITTS BURGH AND CLEVELAND RAILROAD.-By energetic, provident and liberal use of men and other requisite means, the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad Company have erected a temporary structure over the Big Beaver at Rochester, in plate of the bridge swept away by the late freshet, and their cars are now running through regularly. We hope the structure is amply safe, and will be at BD early day saperceded by a rairesubstan. tial and permanent bridge. Atelintime,the temporary arrangement which secures the restoration of the regularity of mail trans. portation and of travel will give much satisfaction to the public D. .IEATH OY A PITTSBURGH= WOUNDED AT BULL'S RUN.—Mr. D. Fickeisen of this city, has received the following from the Surgeon of the 71st New York regi ment, confirming the report of hie eon's (Dan'l Fickeisen) death: DEAR SIB:—It is my painful duty to inform you that Dan'! Fickeisen, Co. F. 71st regiment, was wounded in the right lung at the battle of Bull's Run, whilst, gallantly advancing towards the enemy.— He died 16 days after the battle.

BINGHAM-DEAR SIR :—You have done me gross injustice-fir-your asser tion in the Post that I did" 'nothing but wash the face of Mr. McLaughlin. I took several pieces of boards from his wound; and dressed the wounds of Mr. Ragan, at my office; besides I was called by one of your own agents as he was going to the office of Dr. Dickson. I received but five dollars. It is not considered professional etiquette for another doctor to take a case from the one that is first in attendance. Wm. M. ICznii. INDIANA COUNTY. —T6 .

Woes for 01119 H. cay/ed,y3e A messenger from the Virginia side this morning, states that our picket forces ad vanced to Bailey Cross Roads yesterday and drove those of the rebels a mile and a half beyond, where it is said the latter have taken position and are throwing up intrenchments. There was much firing during the day, but without fatal results. The inhabitants generally, of that section, have removed elsewhere, some of them to this city. A dash of rebel cavalry, made at what they supposed to be a deserted cannon, after about twelve rounds bad been fired at it from their howitzers. On a near ap proach, however, they discovered it to be a sham. Some of the Michiganders had deceived the enemy for sport, by mounting a stove pipe on an old pair of wheels. Daniel .Knipple, of the Second Michigan regiment, was killed by the accidental dis charge of a gun in the hands of a comrade. It is extremely difficult to obtain reliable intelligence respecting the results of the picket encounters on the other side of the river, but there seems to be truth in the reports that several of our 444eps 'were killed and others wounded along Tit..lines yesterday and last night, The War Department has just issued the following order:—By the fithestrticle of the act of Coni,ress, entitled an act for es tablishing rules and articles for the gov ernment of the armies of the United States, approved April 10th, 1806, holding correspondence with or giving intelligence to the enemy, either directly or indirectly, is made punishable by death, or such other punishment as shall be ordered by sen tence of a court martial. Public safety required the strict enforcement of this article. It is, therefore, ordered that all correspondence and communi cation, verbally or by writing, print ing or telegraphing, respecting the opera tions of the army or military movements, on land or water, or respecting the troops, camps, arsenals, intrenohments or military affairs within the several military districts, by which intelligence shall be given, di rectly or indirectly, to the enemy, without the authority and sanction of the. General, in command, bo and the same a e abso lutely prohibited, and from and after date of this order persons violating the same will be proceeded against under the 57th article of war. Another order provides that commis sioned officers of all volunteer and militia organizations,no matter wheter established under the authority of a State or the United States, will be regarded as having been commissioned on the day when meth tared into the seavice of the United States, and will take their respective grades and be entitled to pay, and be obeyed and respected in their several positions from that date. Hereafter no miners will be mustered into the service of the United States as volunteers without the consent of their parents or guardians. Capt. Gurdin Chapin, of Va., of the 7th Infantry, having given proof of disloy, any is dismissed from the service of the United States to take effect immediately. The Post Office Department having be.. come possessed of authentic information that the mails have been repeatedly vio lated and cannot be carried safety In that part of Kentucky named herein, it is or.. dared that the Post Offices at Hickman, Columbus and Paducah, Ky., and all oth er Post Offices and post routes in Kentucky' West of the Tennessee river, be discontin ued, excepting as' follows: Routes No. 9.632 from Russellville via Cadiz and May. field, is continued as far as Millburn and all the Post Offices on that route, except ing Aurora are continued; also, route No. 9,694 from Eddeville to Oliver and the Post Of therin are continued. The special supply is continued. The following appointments were made to-day : Wm. Smith, of Orwell, Vt., to he an additional Paymaster; Isaac B. Bow ditch, of Burlington, Vt., a Commissary of. Subsistence, with rank of Captain; Joa. 8. York, Captain in 15th Infantry, regular army; Simon Smith, Major of 2d Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers, to be a Paymaster in the United States army, with the rank of Major, vice Major Randolph Marcy, pro. moted to be Inspector General. The War Department has issued an order requiring the commanding officers of regiments or independent companies to take measures to keep the strength of their commands up to the maximum standard of organization prescribed by general or. d r No. 15, for cavalry and infantry and general orders No, 16, for artilery. For this purpose they will detail from time to time as required, one commissioned officer and two if necessary, with two non-com missioned officers or privates to recruit in the district in which regiments or comps. nies were raised. Prisoners released on parole to be discharged from service. All enlisted men in the volunteer service, who have been taken prisoners by the enemy and released on parole will be discharged from the service. HAND-BILLS, CARDS, &c Arrival of the Asia--Foreign News. SANDY HOOK, August 29.—The steamer Asia has ipassed here with Liverpool dates to the I& k h inst. She reports the arrival out of the steamers Great Eastern, Arabia and New York. The bank rate of discount has been re duced to 4i per cent. The cotton market closes quiet, at a re. duction of I reported by the last arrival. The King of Sweden continues in Lon don engaged in sightseeing. A letter from an agent of the Cotton Supply Association reports the result of his visit to Egypt. He gives an encouraging prospect of the productive capacity of Egypt for cotton. The Viceroy expressed great interest in the extension of its product, but can do very little to promote it. The Emperors fete-day was celebrated in Paris on the 15th inst., with much bril liancy. The day was also observed in Italy by an illumination at Naples and a religious' ceremony in one of the Turin Churches. It is reported that the French Govern.. ment •has instructed Gen.
