Before Judges McClure, Adams and

Wednesday, Ocl. iM, 1801
The cros6 suits bet ween Prof. John
Barry and Charles S. Kennedy were
concluded, the jury finding a verdict of
not guilty as to Kennedy, but that he
pay one-half the costs; and guilty as to
Berry, with a recommendation to the
mercy of the Court.
Joseph Kennedy, a driver in the em
ploy of Stewart, Dickson «2c Co., coal
dealers, was put upon trial under the
26ih-section Penal Code, which
provides that any person who Bhall
wantonly and cruelly maim, torture or
kill anyhorse or other domestic animal,
eh ill be deemed guilty of a misdemean
er. The evidence went to show that in
Augosfc last, the defendant, who then
had charge of amule at the coal pits
of Stewart, Dickßon & Co., seized the
animal by the tongue, in a fit of ill-tem
per, and pulled the tongue from its head.
He did not pretend to deny the charge,
and the only point his counsel urged in
hifl behalf was whether the act had been
done wantonly and cruelly. His state
ment was that the bridle came off, and
when he went to put it on, the male be
came fractious. He then seized it by the
totogue, (which was his method of con
quering mules,) when the animal gavea
jerk and the tongue came out 1 The jury
found a verdict of guilty, without leav
ing the box, and the prisoner was re
manded for sentence
John and Andrew Cleinhanz, father
and son, were tried on an indictment for
assault and battery upon Captain Victor
Keller, of Colonel Schimmelfennig’s
German regiment. While passing the
house of defendant. Andrew, the son,
began to ridicule Keller and his com
pany, which led to blows, when John,
the old man, interfered and separated
them. After this the elder Cleinhanz
and Keller fought, and Andrew struck
the latter with a pick-handle, knocking
him Benseless. Keller, after recovering,
Btoned Cleinhanz’ house and dared
either to fight him. The jury had not
agreed upon a verdict when the Court
adjourned.
Cross suits for assault and battery, to
which George Bowman, Henry Myers,
Leonhart Prager and J. G. C. Prager, (of
Shalerand Indiana townships) were the
parties, were next tried. The difficulty
occurred at Shide’s tavern, in Sharps
burg, Bowman and Myers attacking the
two Pragers at a quilting party given
there, and ejecting both from the house.
The case was not concluded at adjourn
ment.
Bench Warrant Case In tlio District
An interesting bench warrant case' has
been ocoopylcg the attention of J udge
Hampton in the District Court for two
days past. The allegation of plant iffs,
Hubert and Stephen Craighead, is that in
May l&Bt they obtained a judgment
(amounting, with ces s, to about $400)
against William and Stephen Wray, farm
era of Elizabeth township. An execution
was issued against them and their farm
stock was levied on, but claimed by other
parties. Tho transfer is alleged to hive
bean fraudulent some $BOO worth of stock
and'farming utensils having boon Bold-by
the Wrays after judgment, but before the
execution, pending a motion for new trial,
and they refusing to apply on the execution
the notes received for the property sold.
Application was accordingly made to
Judge Hampton for a bench warrant,
which was Issued and upon it William
"Wray was arrested and lodged In jail, tho
officers being unable to find Stephen. The
matter came up for hearing at two o’clook
on Tuesday, John W. Jiiddell and Jno.
T. Cochran, E<qs., appearing for tho com
plainants and Thos. if. Marshall and F.
IX. Collier, Esqs , for defendant. The tes
timony occupied Tuesday’s session and part
of yestbrday’s and the arguments closed
last evening, when Wray was remanded to
prison until this morning at nine o’clock,
When Judge Hamptou will give his deris
ion. Officers have been again sent for
Stephen Wray, who, it was expected,would
be arrested last night.
Not Kiujd. —We published an item
last. week to the effect that a young man
named John Devinnev, of Blairsville, had
been shot and killed by the rebels in West
nrn Virginia, where he was engaged in the
oil business. Later intelligence briDgs us
the fact that he was shot, but it is hoped.
that he is not mortally wounded. Itappears
that Mr, D. had got in company with Bomo
rebels, who, he giving expression to Union
sentiments, drew a pistol and fired at him,
the ball taking effect below the left shoul
der .and passing around on a rib, came
out near the breast. At last accounts he
was doing well, and it is hoped he will
recover.

Resolutions of Condolence*
At a meeting of the Pittsburgh Gymnas
tic Association, held on Tuesday evening,
October 22d, the following resolutions wore
unanimously adopted:
Whebjcas,. We have once more been
yfsHed by God’s afflicting hand, who, in
His wisdom, has called from life and active
duty our late follow member, Evans B
Darlington; snd whereas it is becojniDgin
tta to give utterance to our aeflse of this
great bereavement, and the kindly esteem
we felt for one who is very dear to us all ;
therefore be it
Resolved, That in his death we have lost
a friend and companion. A pure, unblem
ished character marked the gentleman—
Prompt response in the hour of peril to his
native land, the loyal citizeD'—his pres
ence in the tented field, a gallantsoldier.—
When the young man in the fullness of
physical strength and the beauty of moral
excellence is thus cut down, it ia fitting that
all should mourn.
Resolved, That in life’s every relation, so
far ss man can do, he tried his conduct by
the Golden Rule which tells us, “Whatso
ever ye would that men should do unto
you, do ye even so unto them.”
Resolved, That in his quiet deportment
and uniform character we all felt that firm
reliance which such chart oteristics usually
insuns. We will miSB him as the family
does a cherished brother. His memory will
remain as the stately pine in the forest,
perennially green, and with never ending
fragrance.
Resolved, That we extend all our sym*
pathy to the fond, devoted wife, whose
young life is now so withered and made
desolate; to the loving mother, whose de
clining days are thus so darkened; to the
faithful brothers and Bißter, who have, in
this sad and most untimely hour, been
called to pay the last farewell of earth to a
noble, true and affectionate brother. Their
grief is ours and our bitter tears shall
mingle with theirß.
Resalved, That our beloved land h&3 lost
a patriot son, the American Army a brave
soldier. Had death spared him he would
have won imperishable renown as a hero
in no wise recreant to his trust. The sighs
of patriot thousands will be his requiem,
and all who knew him will weep as be
reaved relations and mourniug friends
bear to his last repose the youthful and
heroic dead, whose death is Use the flower
cut down in the splendor of its fullest
bloom.
Resolved, That it shall be our solemn
duty to attend bis funeral, as the last test
limonial of respect we can show to him as
a cherished member of this Association.

General McClellan's Armies of
Europe —Sent to Europo in 1855-50, as
United States Military Commissioner,
General, then Captain G. B. McClellan,
drew up a report, which was published by
order of the United States Senate, andimi*
mediately took a foremost place among
modern works on tho art of war. The ori
ginal report, in 4to, has been long since
ont of print, and, as might be expected, its
anthor’s present situation has made it
greatly inquired for. Messrs. J. B. Lip
pincott & Co , of Philadelphia, have re
published itinan Bro. volumeof 500 pages,
illustrated by numerous engravings, and
young officers cannot fail to profit by the
immense quantity of valuable Information
here conveyed. It opens with a sketch of
the war in the Orimea, where the author
arrived after the fall of the Malakoff,
especially describing the siege and storm
ing of Sebastopol. It then treats of Euro
pean engineer troops; of the Frenob, Aus
trian, Prussian, and Sardinian infantry;-of
the Buseian army, in all its varieties ot
force; and, finally, of European and United
States cavalry, concluding with an Appen
dix of “ Regulations for the Field Service
of Cavalry In time of War.” Even civil
ians may read this book with pelasu re and
profit, for it conveys the best ss well as
latest information respecting the constitu
tion, discipline, force, and character of the
armies of Europe and the United States.

The ForTy Fifth Keqimrnt Moving.
—On Monday the Forty-fifth regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers, Colonel Thomas
Welsh, left Camp Curtin, near Harris
burg, for the seat of war. The regiment
was fully armed and- equipped, and pre
sented as Ado an appearance as any regi
ment that has yet left Pennsylvania.—
Pevious to their departure from Camp
Curtin, they were presented with a beau
tiful stand of colors, the same as previous
regiments that have entered tho service of
the country. The presentation was made
by Governor Curtin, and was witnessed
by several thousand citizens and soldiers.
In presenting the colors to 001. Welsh,
the Governor made an impressive and
patriotic speech, which was responded to
by the Colonel with a soldier’s promise
that the flag should never be disgraced so
long as a strong arm in his regiment was
lelt to uphold .it. After placing the flag
in the hands of the eolor guard, the regi
ment was formed into column and march
ed in review past the Governor and his
aids. The train to convey the troops to
Washington was in waiting near the
camp ground, to which they proceeded
and took their departure about noon.
Man Drowned —On Tuesday s middle
aged man named John Clark was d row nod
in the Ohio river, opposite the marine
railway. He was engaged in repairing the
wheel of the steamer Grey Eagle, lying at
tho railway, and about two o'clock acci
dentally fellofl, passed under a barge lying
below, and accidentally drowned. The
body was not recovered up to a late hour
yesterday evening. Deceased was a mar
ried man, and leaves a family of three
ohildren.
Coat Thief Abbested.— Yesterday
morning William Topper,oharged with tho
larceny of three coats from the tavern of
M. Fib bar, Allegheny City, was arrested
and taken before Mayor W ilson. He had
pawned two of the coats, which were re
covered. The Mayor committed Topper
to answer. He is an old offender, though
young in years and has served a term in
the House of Refuge and one in the Peni
tentiary, for horse stealing.
Theological Seminary. —The exer
cises in the Theological Seminary under
the care of the United Presbyterian
Church, In Allegheny, will be resumed on
Tuesday, the 6th of November, next. An
address to tho stndents will be delivered
by a member of thie Board of Superintend
ephiinthe evening.
Anderson thb Wizard ab Bob Rot.
Our readers will remember the sensation
created in the E»«t not long since by An
derson, the wizard, who, after puzzling
the world with his great feats in necro
xnancy, appeared as an actrr, personating
Rob Roy and producing tbe pittce with the
finest effects of scenery and costume. He
was most successful and 'ho porb rmanco
was highly extolled, Anderson is now
en route for Cincinnati, and ourefit'-rpris
irg manager Henders.-n fa' induced him
to stop here and rrive a single representa
tion of Kob Roy, this evening. Anderson
personates the Highland chieftan and will
wear a costume presented him by Princo
Albert, while the other characters will be
provided with dresses from the magnificent
wardrobe made to order for the wizard,
expressly for the piece. New scenery is
also being prepared for the occasion and as
a spectacle “Rob Roy” to night will prob
ably surpass anything ever produced here.
There is a general desire to see Anderson
in his new role, and we expect to see the
bcu?e crowded in every part. Tbe addi
tional attraction for 10-night will be
“Stratagems of an Actress.”
No business was transacted in tbe United
States District Court yesterday. The case
of United States vs D W. Goughenour,

tanning, was, on motion of Hon S. A
Purviance, admitted to pr&ctiso.

were interred in the Allegheny Oomotrv
yesterday morning. The body was escorted
to the grave irom the First Presbyterian
Church, Wood street, by the Duquesne
Greys, with a fine band, and a large con
course of friends in carriages, and buried
with military honors. A number of tbe
members of the Gymnastic Association
were also in attendance on the sad occa-
Bion.
Departure of Regular Cavalry.—
The cavalry company recruited in this
city by (Japt. Henry B. Hays ior the Sixth
U. S. (regular) cavalry regiment, left for

Washington City Kews.
Washington, Oct. 23.— The Washing
ton Star says the object of the movement
of Gen. Stone in crossing the river was to
secure tho command of the Virginia shore
sj that his division and that of General
could be Bafely transferred to the
soil of Virginia. After crossing his ad
vance he sent out Col. Baker with por
tions of three regiments—his own, the
Massachusetts Fifteenth and the New
York Tammany Regiment, numbering in
all about 1,800 men, forming his right
wing to reconnoiter in force in the direc
ti noi Leesbarg Both his right and left
wings were attacked as early ,a 8 9 a. m.,
but repulsed the enemy whenever he aps
pearrd.
At about five o’clock, p. m., the right
wing found itself confronted by neard.ooo
of the enoxy, under Gen. Evans ? with ar*
tillsry in front and on both flanks, Gen.
Baker gallantly essayed a charge, in mak
ing which he was killed and his command
suffered considerable loss. The officer left
in command of it by his death then very
properly gave the order to fall back to a
position near the river bank, where he
could be supported by Gen. Stone and the
other portion of his army that had by ttkis
time effected a crossing, in good order,
and carried with him all his wounded and
killed.
Col. Cogswell, the commander of tho
New York Tammany Regiment, and Oapt.
Cogswell, of the Bth Infantry, U. S. A., is
among the missing.
Lieut. Col. Ward, of tho Massachusetts
Fifteenth was wounded in the affair, losing
a leg.
On reaching the position selected,- the
right wing turned, and both wings held
their own upon it. though under the fire of
tbe onemy, which gradually slackened un
til midnight,by which time it ceased, hav
ing for some hours beforo became little
more than picket shooting,.as it wore—
Throughout tbe night, the balance of Gen.
SLone’s force crossed the river and threw
up temporary works, that rendered his
position secure and enabled him to protect
ihe crossing of the divieion of Gen. Banks,
to be essayed this morning.
Our information, so far, this forenoon is
that Gen. Banks’ army duly arrived at the
Maryland landing of Edward’s Ferry, last
night, and has been crossing tho river se
curely since daylight.
Gen Banks is in person on the Virginia
side, and has assumed tho chief command
ihoro.
Gen. McCall’s division remains in about
tho samo position its main body has held
for some days past, from whence it may
operate effectively in any required direc
tion, its presence higher up tho river to
support the important movement ol Gens.
S-vono and Banka not having been necessary,
as the resuit proved.
Our toul killed, wounded aud missing
in tho course of the day was about two
hundred.
Borne of our cotemporaries are wholly in
error in announcing the affair of yesterday
opposite Leesburg as a repulse of the Union
troops. On tbe contrary, it was eminently
successful, Gan. Stone having effected his
object, though with some loss in his right
wing, while engaged in reconnoiloring in
advance of his main operations. While all
lament tho death of Col. Baker, and that
Col. Cogswell is probably in tho enemy’s
bands, Gen rfione’s success is still a glo
rious one. j.
The success of the movement of Gen.
Stone and G*n. Banka across the Potomac
13 now established, as the enemy did not
venture Lo make further resistance to it
yesterday. All accounts agree that our
men conducted themsolves nobly in the
affair of Monday. Even the portion of the
column which received a t mporarychock
by the death ol m commander, Col. Baker,
behaving gallantly, although opposed to a
force Iripple their numbers. Tho remain
der of General Stone’s command also acted
with the coolness of veterans. The ground
thus gained was retained in the undies
lurbed possession of our troops all day yes
terday. bcoutsand reconnoitering parties
during the day obtained much valuable
information in regard to tbe enemy. The
above facts are derived from reliable
sources.
ABbary Dickens, late Secretary of the
Senate, which position he occupied for
many years, died In this city this morning
at an advanced age, probably ninety years.
Lieut. Chas. E. Hay, oi regiment cav
alry, has been appointed an Aidde-Oamp
to Gen. Hunter.
It ie understood that the blankets orders
od from Kurope in August by the Quar
termaster’s Department, are arriving.—
Twenty-nine thousand five hundred have
already reached New York. The cost
to the United States is forty cents per
pound and as each blanket weighs five
pounds, the cost for each is two dollars.

Holla, October 23. —Lieut. Kirby,with
fifteen men of Major Wright’s battalion,
had another fight with forty-five re bels,
near Linn Creek, on the 17 th instant,
killing five of them and wounding about
a dozen.
The result of Maior Wright’s march
from Kolia to Linn creek can be Bummed
up as follows: Three successful fights,
in which 08 rebels were killed, about
the same number wounded, and 87
prisoners taken 122 guns, 15 horses,
several yoke of oxen, wagons, and many
other articles.
Price’s army was at Greenfield last
Wednesday, still headed South.
Hepoits from Springfield say that
General Mcßride, of the rebel forces,
has resigned and is on his way to that
place to disband his Division and return
home,
Colonel Taylor, in command of the
rebel forces at Springfield, recently
issued a proclamation declaring that all
the Union men who had belonged to
the Home Guards, would be required to
leave the country or go into the Southern
army for the same length of time they
had served the Federal army, i nd re
quiring a pledge from the Union men
now there for the exemplary conduct of
their friendawho are absent from home.
The proclamation also prohibits the
carrying of any more slaves South, as
such a course is calculated to lesson the
confidence of the people in the ability
of the Southern army to sustain itself
in Missouri.
St. Lotus, October 23.—The Democrat
learns that Gen. Fremont has detailed
Brig. Gen. Strong, recently appointed on

J have baen gradually growing deafer and
dealer, i Imvt* mad numerous physicians and
remedies without an; effect, Uie noise in my head
increasing to h vary distressing extent. From
seeing the testimonial of a clergyman, well known
tome, I was induced to pulcnyse-f under Dr. V''N
MOSOHIBKKR’B treatment --even month* ago. My
case was a very obstinate one. and aflei four
months treatment became somewhat discouraged,
but yet persevering. I am more than bAppy to
st*te that the noises in my head, so distressing
have entirely left me, and tout my hearing is very
much improved as all my those in busi
ness connection with me can testify. From my
marked imp-ovement I am fully satisfied that I
wi 1 recover the hearing which l thought hopeless

General Fremont’s movements is Mis
souri, form the principal topic of conver*
Bation and newspaper diseossion. Old Cali
fornians, the press, and well informed men
generally concur in representing Fremont
as totally incompetent to creditably dis
charge the duties of his present position.
His personal friends maintain that he is
bravo and daring and think that he would
distinguish himself in command of a bri.
gads, but few believe him fitted, witheither
the business capacity or military skill and
judgment of a great army. Calculating
men SBy that it will cost $100,000,000 to
accomplish, under Fremont, what might
be accomplished for $10,000,000 under a
prudent and segacious Major General.

ment of infantry under command of Maj.

Discontent Among the Rebels.
Washington City, Oct. 23.— Bailable
information from Virginia, confirms the
stories of discontent and murmurings not
only in the camp, but among all classes'ht
the management of affairs by the Southern
government, which, while it subjects them

brings no advantages in return. It is be.
lleved that, but for the overawing presence
of the Southern srmy, Eastern Virginia
would now be ready to return to her loyal
ty. Many evidences of satisfaction and
signs of welcome are displayed by the in
habitants of Loudon county towards the
newly arrived troops of Gen. Banks.
It is well understood that the reportß of
the intended interference with onr block
ade by European powers, are, for the most
part, the inventions of cotton brokers or
those who wish to engage in the Bame bu
