FlStoifY, October 25th. • . V This morning Judge' McCandless delivt ered his charge to the jury in the case of J. B. Hopkins, of Lock Haven, charged with making bogus coin, and the jury, after a brief abßenc e returned a verdict of “guilty of passing.” Defendant’s counsel made a strong appeal for clemency, and the Court sentenced the prisoner to pay a line ot $lOO and undergo an imprisonment of one year In the Western Penitentiary. ..The case of Joseph Shoemaker, charged with passing counterfeit money at Johns town, was called up, but defendant did not answer, and although his counsel, John H. Hampton, Esq , made a strong effort to have the case continued, hiß recogmzafice ' for $3,000, with Robert Duncan and Alex. McGregor as sureties, was forfeited, and a ' process for his arrest issued. He was not, ! however, found during the day. Wood Street Improvements, —lt is not long Bince a fine Btone building was erected on the corner of Wood street and Diamond alley by the Citizens’ Back.— Since that time three handsome iron fronts have been put up adjoining this and now two more are to be erected immediately! below. Messrs. B. L. Fahnestock & Co. have purchased three lotß about midway of the square between Diamond alley and! Fourth street, on the upper Bide; the old buildings have been torn down and will be replaced by two fine iron front build-' ings, on a plan similar to that of the Bank 1 Block on Fifth street, but less ornate.— The architect is Mr. C. Bartberger, who I always makes a well finished job. One of the stores, and probably the upper stories of both buildings, will be occupied by Messrs. Fahnestock as a drug warehouse and for the other there will doubtless be numerous applicants. The general ap« pearaace of Wood street has been much improved of late by the ereotion of new buildings and the remodeling of old ones, and if the spirit of improvement goes on we shall soon see Wood street rivalling Filth, the Broadway of Pittsburgh. Iron makeß a beautiful, cheap and substantial' front, and too much of it cannot be em ployed in architecture here, where it is our great staple. Solar Oil Works. —We direct attorn tion to the advertisement of the Solar Oil Works Company, in another column Their store is at No. 3 St. Clair street, aDd Mr. Jacob Weaver, jr. is the Secretary of the company, and Mr. J. M. Okely the Treasurer. They have located their works in the midst of the oil regions,which gives them facilities for procuring a sup ply of the crude oil, from which they make two qualities of burning and two of maohino oil. They devote especial at tention to making these of uniform and reliable quality and putting them up se ourely. To those about to purchase oils, we can recommend the product of this company as superior and advise a fair trial. Destructive Fire in Brownsville. —We have private information from Brownsville of a destructive Are in that village, which loft almost the entire “neck” in ruins. We have no informa tion as to how or when the fire originated, but it occurred yesterday morning and our informant states that the cause is un known.

Shaw, of Goshen township, Clearfield county, was thrown from a horse, which he was riding bare backed, receiving injuries which ter minated in his dealh on Friday. Mr. Shaw was about fifty-five years of age, and leaves a large circle oi friends to mourn his less. Col.

No business was transacted in the Court of Quarter dsdons yesterday, the jury having been discharged on Thursday.— The usual Saturday's business will be dis posed of this morning. Mysterious ’ Affair—lnquest. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the body of a Ofyrman woman named Mrs. Karhardt, wife of a painter of that name residing on Perry street, in the Third Ward, Allegheny city, was found lying in a stone yard below Yoeghtley*s ohurch, on Ohio street, near Straub’s brewery and not far from the line of Reserve township. The poor woman had been in bad health and spirits and her mind was somewhat affected. She left home at nine o’clock on Thursday night and had not been seen by her friends subsequently. The clothiDgof the woman was wet, and the supposition is that she had waded across the canal.' It was also stated that persons in the vicinity j had heard cries during the night and foul 1 play was generally suspected. Coroner Bostwick was called upon to I hold an inquest and proceeded to investi gate the myßlery. Dr. Venn examined the body and gave it as his opinion that the person of the woman had not been violated as was Buspected and that she died in con sequence of exposure. Dr. Reiter, who also examined the body with a powerful instrument, concurred in this opinion and expressed his belief that the cause of death was disease of the heart. Persons who resided in the vicinity of the stone quarry testified to seeing men about the yard a J ter midnight and to hear ing the groans of deceased. One man went into the yard, stayed half an hour and came oat Dennis Murphy saw the woman on the bank of the river near the upper bridge, leaning against the gate of the lead factory, about half past eleven o’clock. Ho waken ed the watchman, who, with his son-in-law aame down, and saw her taken away by some men, who conveyed her to Hew myer’s tavern, on Ohio street, where there was a ball. Here, with her clothes all wet through, the woman lay for some time, her head thrown back on a chair, having the appearance of being intoxicated. She was taken away from Newmyer’s by two men (unknown to Mrs. N.) who carried her out for thejpurpoie of taking her tolheMayor’s office. This was the last seen of the un fortunate creature by any of the wit nesses. This testimony was far from satisfactory, and the Coroner determined, if possible) to unravel the mystery of the affair (if any there be) adjourned further in vestigation until nine o’clock this morn, ing. Ho stated that he had been informed that the two men who carried the woman away from Newmyer’s were Nicholas Easley and John Weaver, both well ao- quaintedwith deceased, and he wished, if possible, to have their testimony. Their conduct soomed suspicious, as they had gone in an opposite direction from the Mayor’s office, whero they stated they would take her. It would have been easi- er for them, if their intentions were good, to have taken her home, as her residence was nearer than the Mayor’s office. Neither of these men had made their appearance, but he would endeavor to secure their pres ence by to-day. Deceased was about thirty five years of age and, as was stated, had not been of very sound mind for some days. Her death is shrouded in mystery; yet it is possi ble that she may have been wandering in search of her home when she got into the stone yard and there died from exhaustion and exposure. We see no reasonable ground for charging any one vjith foul play, but a thorough investigation is emi nently proper and we hope if the deceased suffered any violence the perpetrators may bo found and punished according to their deserts. 1 Quits a storm in a teapot was raised during last week concerning the appoint, ment of a chaplain to 001. Sirwell’s regia ment, Negley’s brigade. The Rev. R C. Christy, a Catholic clergyman of this dio cese, received the appointment, and, with the permission of the Bishop, accepted it. He had neither sought nor canvassed for if, ' * thou £ hVou nde r - fji n d that several Prot estant ministers of Butler Co. wero active applicants for tho position. Mr. Chrißty was elected by the vote of tte officers of the regiment, a large majority of whom are Protestants. Col Sirwell himself is not a Catholic, the assertion of the local editor of the Chronicle to the contrary notwith standing. Nor is tho proportion of Cath olics in the regiment so small as has been stated in Borne papers. Thus the facts show that a Catholic clergyman, who was quiet, ly staying at home, attending to his duties, was preferred by Protestant gentlemen to any one of a number of Protestant minis ters, who wero actively electioneering for the position. And this also explains the noise raised by the friends of the defeated candidates about the appointment. In this connection we may say that it looks very bad that such an uproar has been raised against the appointment of the first Catholic chaplain that has, as yet, ac companied a Pennsylvania regiment. A largo proportion ofiho volunteers from our State are Catholics, yet neither the three months’, nor the three years’ regiments have had one Catholic chaplain, until the appointment of Rev. R. C. Cnristy. It is not that the Catholic clergymen of this State are unwilling to accept such posi tions when offered by the proper authori ties, as is well enough known in the proper quarters. It is bad enough that such a state of things exists at all, and matters are not mended by the nproar raised by bigots in cases similar to that of Sirwell’s regiment. —Pittsburgh Catholic. Fire in Allegheny,— On Thursday afternoon,between three and four o’clock,a little fellow,carelessly playing with matches in a coal shod temporarily occupied as a cow house, on North alley, near Beaver street, Allegheny, attaohed to the premises of a poor woman named Mrs. Lindsay, set fire to some hay in tho shed. The building was consumed boforo tho engines arrived, but three cows and a calf were safely re moved, tho latter being slightly scorched. The building was uninsured, and Mrs. Lindsay is a poor woman, not able to bear the loss. Fatal Accident. —On Tuesday evening last about dark, as Jefferson Bute and Geo.

EBwards’ Ferry, Oct. 24—Yesterday, on learning that a large force of the enemy wa» approaching, and had arrived at two Sointa above and below, and in the immo late vicinity of the ferry, it was judged advisable to withdraw ofir troops from the Virginia shore, both at Edwards’ Ferry and Harrison’s Island. This was rendered the more necessary from the high Btage of the water and the prevalence of a gale wbioh made it a matter ol impossibility to throw over a sufficient force to make our position there perfectly secure against a general attack/ The force at'Harrison’s Island were re. moved just in the face of and unmolested by a large body of the enemy, who wisely, perhaps, forbore to make any demonstra tion. General Stone commanded the di vision opposite Edwards’ Ferry and res moved them duringjthe tempestuous storm in the night with salety. General Stone was among the last to leave the shore, and no accident whatever occurred. The numbers of the enemy are not known to outsiders, but it is inferred that they had a total of 13,000 or 80,000. Their positions were ip dangerous proximilv to the ferry, and k night attack would have been disastrous to a small number there. This morning, none of their encampments or troops are visible, except perhaps a sol dier occasionally passing along the roads through the openings of the forests. Edwards’ Ferry, 0ct.123, via Washing* tan, Oct. 24.—Yesterday, Oapt. Vaughan, of the Bhode Island battery, went over the river with a flag of truce to recover some of the dead bodies and ascertain the fate of others. About five o’clock p. m. to-day a rebel brigade was seen proceeding in,the direc tion of Conrad’s Ferry, and disappearing behind a wood, where it is stated there is an earthwork mounting seven guns. The point is between the river and Leesburg, two miles from the latter place and about three miles from Edwards' Ferry, ft Is supposed they are the same troops that at. tacked our pickets yesterday. AbotA the same hour General A her crombie sent word to Head Quarters that the enemy’s forces wore advancing toward his position, on the Virginia side, from above and below, and asking for reinforce ments. His command was seen drawn up in line of battle near the shore, and orders were issued to push over a strong force to his relief. Up to the present hour, ton o’clock p. m., do attack has been made. Five persons were arrested at Poolesville, to-day, on a charge of being sec&sion spies. They were examined and retained for safe keeping. The skirmish of yesterday was fought on our side exclusively by the Independent corps of Anderson's Massachusetts sharp shooters, and Company K, of the KHb Massachusetts regiment. The enemy’s force consisted of one regiment each fropi Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia. The latter attempted to flank our little force, but the terrible fire from the sharpshooters, a rebel falling at each shot, and the firm ness of Company K, prevented the execu tion of thefr plan. The loss of the enemy was great, while I only one of our men wero killed. The skirmishers were aided by several shots from our battery on the Virginia side. Colonoi Joshua T. Owen, of the Socond Kegiment of the California Brigade, ar rived hero to-niehl direct from Edwards’ Ferry and has related the following addi tional particulars in regard to the recent engagement. The forco was 1,736 on our side. Of the number killed, wounded and missing 237 belonged to Colonel Baker’s regiment. Captain Vaughan who was sent over to bring the dead, reports that a large number of the robels’ slain were carried away, while others were interred on the battle field. The impression is that their killed far exceeds ours, owing to the efficie- cy of our artillery. Lieutenant Colonel Wistor, who was wounded in the ehoulder and jaw is con sidered out of danger. Captain Markoe, of Philadelphia, was wounded in the arm, and taken prisoner. Lieutenant Williams, of Captain Putnam’s company, was killed. Colonel Owen further states that imme diately previous to the fall of Col. Baker the rebels made a flank movement to turn the latter’s lines. Colonoi Baker perceiv ing this, immediately wrote an order to be conveyed to the companies of the Tam many regiment, which had just arrived, and while immediately facing his com mand, to meet the flank movement, and while about giving orders to charge, he was killed, falling ten feet in advance of the column. The field in which the battlo was fought is circumscribed within an area of six acres. CARDS, 4c Lieut. Bennett, who was taken prisoner, reports that Col. Hatton, of the rebel armv, was killed at the commencement of the engagement. The War Department has not yet re ceived an official account of the killed and wounded, nor has it been received from the Associate Press correspondent. The delay is probably occasioned by the desire not to mislead the friends and families of soldiers by the publication of an incorrect list, which can only be avoided by the use of the ut most caution in its preparation. Private accounts, from the upper Poto mac this morning, represent that the sol diers reported as missing are, from time to time, coming in, while others, who were carried down by the current of the river, are known to be under shelter in tenements on its banks. Lieutenant Philip Oasey, of Company B. 30th regiment, New York State Voli unteera, died of dysentary, in camp at Up ton’s Hill yesterday. His remains will be taken to Troy for interment.
