Before Hon- Wilson hTCandiess. Thursday, October 24d, 1801 The Hrsl case taken up was that of the Government yb. Kjbort UiveD, late post master at New JPloronce, Westmoreland county, and George W. Osborne and John Ourry, hfs sureties. This was an action of debt on an official bond. The District At* torney offered in evidence a letter from the Auditor of the Postoffico Department, Hotting forth that Given was in Arrears to the Government in the sum of $73 63. Ho also gave in evidence the bond itself, with the signatures of the sureties, when he closed the case Henry D. Foster, Esq., for the defen dants; called Mr. Gore, who testified that in January, 1860, Mr. Given deposited with him $73 63, to he transmitted to Mr. Dunn, postmaster Pittsburgh, in settle ment of his account with the Department. Mr. Dann was also called and testified that the money had been received by him, and duly forwarded to the Department. This settlement was m&do in January, and the suit upon the bond was entered m July following—owing to the fact the Auditor had net been formally notified by the par ties. The jury found a verdict for defen* dants without leaving the box. Jarnei B. Hopkins, daguorreoiypist, of Dock Haven, Olinten county, charged with forging and passing counterfeit coin, was arraigned and plead not guilty. The ac cused was arrested at Williamsport, Ly coming county, and stands indicted for p&BSing a counterfeit half dollar upon Thomas Shuck, and other spurious coins upon parties unknown. A. 0. Mayer, Esq., of Lock Haven, and Messrs. Atche aon and Hamilton, of this city appeared for defendant, and District Attorney Carnahan for the prosecution. The evidence and arguments occupied the afternoon and Judge McOandloss will chargo'the jury on Friday morning. Court of Quarter Sessions, etc. Before Judges McClure, Adams and Parke. Thursday, Oct. 24, 1861 In the case of John and Andrew Clein hftHß, indicted for assault and battery on Captain Keller, the jury found a verdict of guilty. John was sentenced to pay the costs, and Andrew $5 and costs. In cross suits of assault and battery to which George Bowman, Henry Myers and D. G. 0. Prager were the parties, the jury found a verdict of guilty against Bowman, not guilty as to Myers, and guilty of as sault as to Prager. Thos. Collins, livery Btable proprietor, plead guilty to an assault and battery on xhos. Barrett, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $lO and costs. Martha K-inster, of Lawronceville, charged with malicious mischief in tear ing down a bill for a Constable’s sale, was declared not guilty. The prosecutor, George Deitrich, was sentenced to pay tho costs.

Trial and Acquittal of William Fortner, of Elizabeth, Charged with Murder. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday afternoon, the case of Common, wealth vs William Fortner, of Elizabeth, indicted for murder in killing Benjamin F. Bccles, on the 19th of August, by shoot ing him with a gun at his own (Fortner’s) hocse, was taken up and disposed of briefly. Tbo ca6o was conducted for the prosecution by District Attorney Miller .and Assistant District Attorney Moffltt, and tor the defence by Thos. M. Marshall andO. Hasbrouek, Esqs. We deem it unnecessary todetail the evidence at length, as the case resalted in an acquittal. It was shown that-ou the night in question, be tween twelve and one o’clock, Eccles,with four companions, who had been at other houses in the borough in Bearoh of a wo man of light character, came to Fortner’s and demanded admittance. A parley fol lowed and defendant told them to leave, which they did not do, when ho fired a gun in the air. They wentaway, consult ed together and returned; Fortner told them to go, but they insisted on entering and said if they got in they would kill him and his family- daring him to shoot - A second shot, which”did not take effect, was fired and then the house wss attaoked, the door burst in and the window broken. Then Fortner fired again and this time :tfie ball struck Eccles, who was carried off by his companions and died the next even ing. The charge of the Court was strong ly iil favor of defendant and the jury found a Verdict of not guilty after an abeenco of about five minutes. Fortner waß then discharged. StjeATT Hobbbby. — In another column , a rawsrd is offered by W. H. Williams & ; ~,V'}>rokerB, for the recovery of a package of-$1;231 in Eastern funds, lost yesterday ' afternoon between their office and Diamond ’ alley, on Wood street. The package was „ib cnarge of a young man in the employ of the firm, who was carrying it, with a smaller one, in a receipt book under his arm, to the Adams Express office. He , walked rapidly and on reaching Diamond alley, looked at his book and f join! the package mißSing. The loss is doubtless , chargeable to some of the light-fingered gentry and tho chanoes are that the money will never be recovered. The police have been notified and are on the look out for the lncky thief.

A Fatal Railroad Aocidknt, —On i Thursday morning between six and sevou o'clock, a stone mason named Christ. \ Cambio, residing in tho upper part of A 1 legheny, was killed on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad, near Woods’ Run, by being run over by the Economy Accommodation train. Mr. Gamble had been working at Woods' Run, and had started down thoro early in the morning. When near the Run, and while walking along tho track, a train on tho Cleveland and Pittsburgh road came down from the city, and he stopped to the opposite track to lot it pass. The Bmoke and steam which the locomotive left bo, hind, is supposed to havo prevented the deceased from seeing the approach of the other train which is known as tho “Steam Car,” (being a locomotive and passenger car combined.) The engineer saw the man before he was struck, and tried to check up, but the dißtanco was so small that it was impoßsiblo to save him. Tho engine draged him along the track some eighty or ninety feet, mutilating the body in a shocking manner, and causing in slant death. Cambio was about forty I years of age, and leaves a wilo and family. I Coroner Bostwick held an inquest upon the! body, and the jury found a verdict of ac-l cidental death—exonerating tho engineer of the Steam Car. Conflict ok J drisdiction.—Tester day morning as Henry Nowcomer, the lamous dotective, who had arrived in the city but a few hours before, to appear as witness in counterfeiting cases to be tried in the United States Court, was about on taring the Custom House building, he was arrested by officer Gumbertof tho Mayor’s police, on a process from Cambria county, for attempted rape and taken to the May or's office. The fact was communicated to Judge McCandless, who at once sent for tho prisoner and the officer who arrested him. When they arrived he gave notice to officer Gumbort that he must not by means of process from any State Court, in terfere with witnesses subpu-nad in tho United States Court, as they were here under the protection of tho Court and could not be taken, except for breach of tho peace, until discharged from atten dance, Such interference subjected him to an attachment for contempt. Officer Uura bert accordingly relinquished his claim to Newcomer, who will be entitled to the largest liberty, at least until his testimony has been heard in tho oases in which he is a witnoss. After that he must take care of himself. Suicide op a. Volunteeh —A young man named John Greer, residing in ifortn Huntingdon township, "Westmoreland co., committed suicide the other day under the following circumstances: It appears that ho had volunteered in some company in the vicinity, and on Friday last was to have joined it. The accommodation train on which he wished to leave being due at Carpenter’s station,ho went to his bedroom in the house of Alexander Duff, where he had been stopping for some time, to make preparations for his departure. Mrs. Duff being up stairs, he ordered her down. In a few minutes she heard the report of a rifle overhead, and hastening back to as. certain the cause, found thodeco&sed lying upon the floor and bleeding to death. He had, it appears, taken off one of his boots, and seating himself on the bed. discharged the rifle with his foot, the contents enter ing hi 6 body, and producing injuries from which, four hours afterwards, ho died. Distressing Gabu alt y.—On the day of the election, a little boy named Edward Green, of Meadville, whilst playing In the summer-house, at the South Ward School House, attempted to jump from one seat to the other, lost his footing and fell baok wards, striking his head against the seat and breaking his neck. Ho lived about thirty minutes after the accident. He was eight or ten yeais of age, and son of Mr. Wm. Green of that borough N. arrow Kscai’k.— According to the Greenßbarg Herald , the editor of the Greenßbnrg Argus made a narrow escape from being shot one evening last week. He was in the train coming from Pittsburgh, in a car where there were two soldierß. There was some discussion or misunder standing between the soldier;, which re sulted in the firing of a pistol on the part of one, at the other. The ball missed the soldier and grazed the editor’s wig, and harmlessly spent itself in the wood work of the car. Lady Maud.— W. A. Gildenfenuy t op posite the Theatre, sands as a copy of Pierce Egan’s novel, Lady Maud, the Wonder of Kingswood Chaco, just re published by T. B. Peterson & Bros., Philadelphia. We have only examined the work cursorily, but it seems attractive and will no doubt prove very interesting, as have all the" other works of the author. The present wort is highly B poken of by the English reviews, and has been exten sively sold and read in England. Disorderly Conduct. -Officer Keep, arrested two yottng meo, WfUUm (aliS SpHty) Grounds and Edward Kelly, for disturbing a cotillion party at Concert Hall, Temperanceville. They were taken before Burgess G.K. Cochran, who fined them $6 and costs each. It is to be hoped that the young men who have been in the habit of loafing about the board walk, in that vicin' ity, in the evenings, will discontinue this disgraceful habit after this example. Bob Rot was presented in fine style at the Theatre, last 4 evening, to a good audi ence. Anderson, the Wizard, dressed, looked and acted the Alacgregor Campbell admirably and was well sustained by the company. Had the notice of Mr, Ander son’s coming been more general we should have seen a house filled in every part. We regret that he could not remain longer and hope he may soon return and give us an opportunity of seeing him both as necro* mancer and actor.

PartieqW attention given lo sup. plying family OoaL oettOnd IST EDITIOI BY TELEGRAPH Ity Yesterday's Telegram Particulars of tlie Battle near Edward’s Ferry Another Skirmish—General Lander Wounded. Puolesyihe, October 23 —Tho foilow ing repoi t of tho battle of Ball’s Bluff, mid way botween Conrad’s Ferry and Edward’s Ferry, and opposite Harrison’s Island, which occurred yesterday, is gleaned frem authentic sources: On Sunday night, Col, Devin, of tho 15th Massachusetts, wbohad for sometime guarded Harrison’s Island with one com* panv. ordered Capt. Philbrook, of Co. H , and Quartermaster Howe, of his staff, with a dtUchment of two hundred men, to scout th-? Virginia shore in the direction of Leesburg. They crogßed from the island to the shore, and executed tho order by approaching wiihin throe-fourths of a mile of Leesburg, returning to their starling point about ton o’clock Bt night, discover ing, as they supposed, a small camp one mile or more from Leesburg. On report* ing to Col. Devin, the latter, with about three hundred' men, pushed forward, ap directed by Gen. Stone, in the same locals ily, with orders to destroy the camp. At daybreak tho scouts returned to Col. Devin, who remainod with his command conceal ed, and word was sent back that no enemy was in sight. Capt. Philbrook’s company took an advanced position, while the re« m&ining companies woro concealed as a roservo, in case of an attack on tho ad vance, When about a mile and a half from the river, and five hundred yards in ad | vanco of Col, Devin’s reserve, Capt. Phil-' brook, accompanied by Col. Dovin in person, attacked and drove back a compa' by of Mississippi riflomon, and then fel back to the reserve concoaled in the rear, on tho appearanco of a body of rebel cav alry. In the skirmish, Capt. Philbrook had eomo difficulty in getting near enough to the enemy for his smooth bore guns to have much effect, whereas tho others used long range rifles on our forces. At daylight, and at the same hour that Colonel Dovin’s the shore to make the advance, Col. Lee, of the 20ih Massachusetts, sent over one company of bis regiment, which remained on tho shore to cover the return of Colonel Devin. The Colonel, however, maintained the ground, and was reinforced during the morning by «00 more of his regiment, under Lieuten* ant Cwlonel “Ward. About one o’clock, he was attacked by a considerable force of rtflemen, who attempted to outflank him. Fearing that they might bo successful, and after resisting them for some time, Colonel Devin slowly retreated, ia porfect order, to the river, where General Baker had arrived with a battalion of the Cali' fornia regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Wister. General Baker Ibon took command, first complimenting Colonel Devin for the suc cessful resistance to a superior force, and giving his command, iww less than (SUO men, tho right of the lino battle, Lhecontre and loft being formed of about 300 of the Massachusetts 20ih, under Colonel Lee, and the California battalion, of about 500 in number, under Lieut. Col. Wister. Two mountain bdwitzers, commanded by Lieut French, and one piece of the New York battery, commanded by Lieut. Bramhall, were in front of tho centre just previous to the commencement of tho action. The attack was commenced by the enemy on our right, but wasjsoon directed more heavily on the centre and loft. For about two hours the battle-raged terrifically— J complete shower of loaden hail fell. Three i several limes the left of the line made an advance, but were compelled to return as often. The right was better protectod and hel l their position. An order camo from General Baker to throw two companies of the 16th Massa chusetts to tho centre, which was immedi ately executed. This produced an impres sion that the battle was going against us, but caused no confaaion or dismay. The left was hard prossed, but remained About this time the news sproad that Gen.' Baker was killed while in the act of push ing a cannon forward with his shoulder to tho wheel, when he was pierced with six balls. Ho was evidently tho object of the enemy’s sharpshooters. After this there was a cessation of the fire for a few mo ments, during which Col. Cogswell, of the Tammany regiment, arrived with two companies, and he being the senior officer, the command devolved on him. In a short timo it became evident to Col. Cogswell that the day was lost, and he thought it best to cut his way through to Edward’s Ferry, where God. Gorman was in charge, throwing over reinforcements, by direc tion of General Stone, who was within Bight of the battlefield at Edwards’ Ferry, directing general movements. An order was no'w issued to transfer tho loth Massachusetts from the right to the left, which was executed as calmly ns at & battalion drill. Col. Cogswol" soon be came satisfied of the imoossibility of reach ing Edwards’ Ferry as desired, aud gave an order to fall back towards the river, which was executed as well eb the circum stances would permit. They reached the river bank about twenty minutes before nightfall. Here the Massachusetts 16th were deployed as skirmishers along the shore. CARDS, Ac Tiio only means of conveyance to the island was a largo boat, capable of carry ing about 40 persons, which was overcrow, ded and swamped. The troops marching along the shore made a desperate resist, anco, and H is believed the enemy took comparatively few prisoners in conse quonce. Those-who could swim plunged into the wnter, many parrying their arms with them, and other/thro wing them into the river to prevent them falling into the enemy’s hands. Some escaped by avail ing themselves of the darkness, and the heavy wooded banks, but several are known to have boon drowned in the waters of the Potomac. The behavior of our lroop ß before a su perior number of the enemy was marked by noble bravery and endurance. Near the close of the action, and after the day waß considered irretrievable lost, two com. panies of the Tammany regiment, which had just arrived, made a desperate charge on the enemy, but were met with a terrific fire. It is probable that the offioer who appeared in front and gave the order to make the charge was a secession office?, and was mistaken by our men for one of their cammanders. The brave Lieut. Bramhall, of the New York Ninth battery, lost one of his guns, and was himself wounded severely, but not fatally. The gallant Lieut. French, of the how. itzer battery, fired four shots with his own hands, after the day was lost and his own men scattered. He was shot in the left breast and ankle, but not mortally. On reaching the island, which he did by throwo ing his Bword and revolver into the river and swimming across, Col. Divens at once posted thirty of his men to prevent any at tempt of the enemy at pursnit. This force was subsequently augmented by the arrival there of other companies from the Mary land Bhore, under Col. Hinks, of the 19th Massachusetts. Col. Devin received a slight contusion in the breast from a musket ball. Col. "Wister, of Philadelphia, in com mand of the-California regiment, is sup posed to be mortally wounded. As an instance of the weight and con centration of the enemy’s fire the clothing and equipments of Quartermaster Howe, of the fifteenth Massachusetts regiment bore the mark of four rifle shots, one ball paas- I ing through the crown of his cap and one Dress Trimmings Dress Buttons, Velvet Buttons, BattentnVoiT tb« plain Of his belt, ybthe was unhurt. Most of tbe wounded havo been con voyed to their respective encampment hos pitals. The enemy’s force was very large and their positiona wore well selected, from a familiar knowledge of the ground. There is at present no means of tween* taining the logs c >f the enemy, but it musf htiTo been immense, as our few pieces ot artillery wore served with accuracy and terrific effort. 1 It is propor to state in connection with tho foregoing, that Gon. Stone’s orders to Gen. Baker wore to advance a brigade, in cluding a battery to tho support of Col. Devin, and to attack the enemy in foroo only in ca'soof a knowledge of their infe« rior numbers, and of his ability to defeat them, but under no consideration to bring general engagement between the main forces of both sides. Edwards’ Ferry, Oct. 24.—During a skirmish last evening, nearly opposite this roint, Gon. Lander received a painful flesh wound in his right leg. Tho ball has been extracted and no danger to life or limb ißapprehended. Our pickets now extend about a mile in land from Edwards’ Ferry and about the same distance up Goobg creok, bccupyicg tho bridge. The enemy has alab extended their pickets one and a half jftiles up the river towards Conrad’s The'enemy evidently selected our officers for the marks of his riflemen. From Fort Pickens-Full Par- Uulariii or the Attack on Wilson’s Zouaves. New Yoke, Oct. 24.—The steamer Me Cleilan, formerly the Joseph Whitney, hue arrived from Key West. She brings advices from the Southwest Pass to the 11th, from Fort Pickens to the li>Lh, Tor tugas to the 18;h and Key West to the 19th. On tho morning of tho 9th inst., about past three o’clock, tho rebels attacked 001. Wilson’s position on Santa Rosa Island in force—Company K of the 8d in* fantry; Capt. Hildt and 27 men of Com pany A, Ist artillery—Bs men in all, under Major Vodges, met the enemy some dis* lance above Camp Brown. Major Vodges was taken prisoner immediately and Capt. Hildt assumed the command and engaged tho enemy. Tho loss in this struggle was 4 Killed, 21 wounded and 8 prisoners. The enemy’s loss is much larger. Eleven of tho robels woro found dead in one heap. Major Arnold arrived after daylight to tho assistance of Captain Hildt. Tho com* mand proceeded to the point where the rebels disembarked, and as their steamers wero just leaving a destructive lire was opened on them.' The robels loft behind them on tho island 22 killed, 5 wounded and 88 prisoners. Many of their wounded wore carried away on tho boats. Captain Bradford and Liont. Elms wero killed Threo of their officers wore captured—one ol them is Lieut. Jaynes, formerly of the United States Marines. He is badly wounded. General Anderson, who was in command ol the robels, was wounded in the arm. After disembarking, the enemy acknowledged tneir loss to bo ovor one hundred. In addition to tho loss on our Eidn— above stated—tho Zouaves lost nine killed in thoir camp and eleven takon prisoners. Tho details of tho fight of Santa Rosa say .the rebels’ forces, 1600 strong, landed 0:1 the island from three steamers about four miles above Wilson’s camp. Their landing was effected at about two o’clock in the morning. Tho night was very dark. They rapidly formed in threo columns and proceeded silently towards the Zouaves’ camp, hoping 1.0 effect a total surprise. They were but partially successful in this. Tho picket guard, about six hundred yards off, discovered and fired upon them, and gave the alarm and saved the regiment from annihilation. The attack by the onomy’6 columns was simultaneous and volley after volley was aimed upon the Zouaves, who wore forced to fall back, leaving the camp in tho hands of tho rebels. The rebols thon commenced burning the camp. Fort Pickens was by this time thor oughly aroused, and three corampanies of regulars came to thoir assistance. The rebels retreated to tho boats, closely fol lowed by regulars and a small number of 'volunteers, keeping up a destructive fire upon them, killing and wounding a large number. The rebels finally reached the boats, but tho Btcamors wero over 600 yards from the beach, and our men poured repoated volleys into the crowded mass.— Every bullet told, and by the shouts and confusion of the rebels it was evident we had obtained ample satisfaction for the ins suits to our flag. Tho regulars behaved nobly. Great credit is duo to Captains Robert- Bon and Hilt, and Lieuts. Seely and Tay» lor. The Zouaves wero badly mentioned, and Col. Wilson is very much censured for inefficiency. He did not reach the scene until all was over. The camp was almost entirely destroyed, the officers and men losing everything. M»j. Newby had a narrow escape from capture, being conn fined to bed from dangerous illness. One of his servants was killed and tho other taken prisoner. Major Newby shot one rebel with his revolver.gotout'of the house, mounted his horse, and escaped through a storm of bullets. Wilson’s regiment lost 40 killed, 1C wounded and 9 taken prisoners. The reg ulars lost 4 killed, 20 wounded and 10 prisoners. The rebels lost by their own statement, 350 killed, wounded and miss, ing. We took 30 prisoners, including 8 doctors, who wero releasod. From IVew Orleans—The Fight at the month of the IHlssls stppi—A Reliable Account. NB¥ Tobk, Oct. 24—Tho Bteamer Mo- Glellan also brings a reiiabla account of the fight at the mouth of the Mississippi. The rebel fleet consisted of six gunboats, the Ram, Manassas and a large number of fire ships, filling the river from shore to shore. Our squadron was composed of the Richmond, Huntsville, "Water Witch, Preble and Vinoennes, and the store-ship Nightingale. They were at anchor inside of South-West Pass. The Manassas drift ed foul of tho Richmond, knocked a hole in her quarter and stern, doing but little damage. To avoid the fire ship the squad ron got under way immediately, and drift ed down tho river. The Richmond, Pre ble, Vincennes and Nightingale got ashore on the bar, and while ashore were attacked by the rebels; but only one of their shots took effect, and that struck tho Richmond on the quarter. They were beaten off by the Vincennes, with only two guns, the rest of her armament, with her chains, anchors, etc., having been thrown over board to lighten her, she boing much ex posed to the rebel fire. Not one person was killed or wounded in the squadron. The Richmond, Preble and Vincennes were towed off the next day by the steamer McClellan. The Nightingale was still ashore, but would probably get off the next day.

I have tried numerous physicians and remedies without any effect, the noise in my head increasing to a very distressing extent. From seeing the testimonial of a clergyman, well known tome, I was induced to putmyself under Dr. VON MO3CHISK KB’S treatment seven > moiiths ago. My case was a very obstinate one, and after four months treatment became somewhat discouraged, but yet persevering. I am more than happy to state that the noises in my head, so distressing have entirely left me, and that my hearing is very much improved as all my friends,and those in busi ness connection with me can testify. From my marked improvement lam folly satisfied that I wiU recover the hearing which 1 thought hopeless ly lost to me. P.H PIERCE.
