After to-day the Counting Room of the
Post will be found on the second floor of
the Post building, in the room recently
occupied by the Mercantile Agency, • En

The editorial and mailing rooms are on
the same floor. This move was necessary
to give us additional room for the transac
tion of business.
The Rights .r the Highway.
In a case. of assault and battery, tried in
Philadelphia, a few days since, before
Judge Thompson,. the following charge
was given, involving the question of the
rights of the highway :--"The man who
owns or occupies a house, has a right to
the use of half the street in front thereof,
subject, however, to the restriction of the
right of way. The owner has every other
right to occupy and use the- street, that
does not interfere with the right of way.
But in his right it cannot be said that a
carriage or car shall not stop on the street,
or in front of this pro perty ; yet no one has
a legal right- to stop in front of anyman's
property so as to interfere with the busi
ness or pleasure of the occupant. If an
oysterman or a drayman stop before a
man's house or store, and interferes with
the business, the owner or occupant has a
right to move him away. This, however,
does not interfere with an oysterman or
other person, who has it right to use the
street a reasonable length of time; but he I
should remove when requeited to do so, if
he interferes with the business of the oc
cupant. To take hold of a horse's head, to
remove him from the premises so occupied,
is no cause for assault and battery ; this
alone would not justify the owner or driver
of the horse in striking the mover, nor has
the mover any right to commit an assault
and battery upon the owner of the horse
in order to remove the, obstruction.
The Seventy-Seventh at Pitts
burg.
We extract the following from the report
of Colonel Stambaugh, of the .77th Penn
sylvania, to Governor Curtin: "The 77th
was held in reserve for the sth brigade
from seven o'clock, a. m., under a galling
fire, without being allowed to fire. a pin,
when_the 77th was ordered to support the
left of the 4th brigade, commanded by
Gen. Rosseau, which they did till about
twelie o'clock, when the 77th was detach
-ed, by order of Gen. McCook. for the pur
pose of flanking three- regiments of the
.enemy, which the 77th nobly did, and also
in the meantime fired upon and silenced
one of the enemy's batteries, by killing all
their horses and many of their men. Just
here a considerable body of cavalry charg
ed down upon the 77th, but were repulied
with severe loss. Again they came and
again the 77th repulsed them, when they
retreated in confusion. The 77th took
many prisoners that day, among whom
was Colonel Battles, of the 2d Tennessee
infantry."
Railroad Meeting.
A meeting was held in New Castle on
Saturday, to devise ways and means to
secure the construction of the New Castle
and Beaver Valley Railroad. Mr. Craw
ford, President of the Company, stated
that $4,800 stock had been taken since
the last meeting, making, in all. $84,550,
which is - $5,440 less than the amount nec
essary. A motion was made that the pro
ject be abandoned; but, after a little dis
cussion, it was unanimously laid on the
table.. A number of gentlemen pledged
themselves to procure the amount of sub
scription necessary to warrant the Direc
tors in proceeding with the work. Mi.
Magollin moved that the Directors be in
structed to proceed to let the contracts for
building the road, on the faith of the peo
ple_of the county, pledging that they would
take the balance of the stock. The reso
lution was unanimously carried.
Pilurking Accident.
On Thursday. afternoon a young man
named Louis Shaler, seventeen years of
age, met with a painful accident at Jones
Laughlins iron works, Brownstown. He
was employed as "catcher," and his nip
pers missing their hold a bar of 5-16 tbs
inches, red hot, as it came through the rolls,
struck him inside of the leg, below the
knee, and passed through the limb; spar
ing the flesh, lacerating the muscles rand
severing the arteries. Shaler burned his
left hand seriously in trying to draw out
the bar, which was only extrieated.with
the aid of pinchers. The wound bled pro
fusely, and for a time it seemed that it
would prove fatal, ,but the _blood was
staunched and it is now thought the limb
can be saved.
Our Wounded at Yorktown.
It is announced that directions have been
given to the surgeons of all-the Pennsylva
nia regiments before Yorktown to send the
wounded, as speedily as possible, to the
receiving ship, and to let those who tempo
rarily bury the dead pin inside the clothing
of each a piece of paper, stating his name,
company and regiment, as well as his place
of residence. The magnificent steamer
"Commodore," which has been used as
the headquartrs, while on the water,. by
Gen. McClellan and his staff officers, has
been placed under the charge of several of
those Pennsylvania physicians, as a gener
al reception hospital for those from every
other State -who shall. be wounded in the
approaching battle. It is being . fitted np
with every comfort and convenience.
Boy
,Drowned.
On Tuesday last, Bernard Connelly L _n
youth of about 14 years, son of Mr. H. H.
Connelly, Post Master at Fayette CiV,
was drowned in the river at that place. He
was in a skiff which was tied to the shore,
and reaching out to catch some drift that
was floating by, he lost his balance and
fell into the water. The river was very
high, and the rapid current soon swept
him out of reach, and before aid Could get
to him he sank for the last time. He was
a bright and manly little fellow, and his
parents are overwhelmed with gr ief The
community express much sympathy for
them. The body was recovered on Friday,
* short distance below the town.
A Change.
In organizing the new corporation of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Ching*Rail
way, the office of A.nditor was abolished,
and Mr. T. D. Messier, who ooeupied that
position, has been made Coifiptrtillei itof,

Dr. J. H. Schenck.
This gentleman, the well-knckwn pro
prietor of Schenck's Pulmonie Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will
be in Pittsburgh on Tuesday and Wednes
day next, May 6th and 7th, to examine all
who may desire it with his Respirometer,
an instrument of his own invention for
examining the lungs and with which he is
enabled to point out their exact condition
and prescribe the proper remedies. He
would advise all who desire to consult him
to do so on the occasion of his present
visit, as engagements elsewhere may pre
clude the possibility of his regular visit
next month. He may be consulted as
usual at the drug store of Dr. Keyser, No.
140 Wool street, where his medicines are
kept for sale.

retail druggists to know where drugs of
perfectly uniform and reliable quality can
be obtained, as the value of all remedies

APRIL 80th, 1862.
Yesterday afternoon and all last night,
particularly about daylight, Secesh has
been firing some of his large guns in an
exceedingly loose manner. Shells were
thrown to the right, to the left and in the
centre, sometimes at an object and some
times just to see how far they could shoot.
Of course, they suppose wo are busy always
after they fire a shot in picking up the kill
ed and wounded, but if it is any consolation
to them, we can inform them that so tar,
in the last twenty-four hours, there is "no
body hurt." At Lee's Mills they lost ten
pieces of "property" (slaves). Yesterday
we lost two (horses). Wonder if they
consider they must kill eight more to come
up even.
They Prepare to Mount Mor
On the fort near. Yorktown, yesterday,
a large force of slaves was at work in
building round turrets to set mortars in ;
they are made some fifty feet in diameter
and constructed with sand-bags. They
seemed to have no fear and worked like
beavers, carrying up the sand-hags from
the rear; the bags are white, and the tur
rets will, when done, make a splendid tar
get—no attempt was made upon our part
to prevent them from proceeding with
their operations, although they were con
tinually firing their cannon on both sides
of the work.
Large Arrival of Flour on the
York .River.
Yesterday three large schooners came
down the York river, loaded with Hour,
which was unloaded at the Yorktown
wharf. The wharf was crowded with teams
all day hauling it away—and such teams!
We saw at Manassas, the morning after
the evacuation, some fifty or a hundred
wagons left there, and thought they had
merely left the worst, as not stylish
enough, but the train yesterday was even
worse—no two alike ! All old-fashioned
country wagons, mules and horses geared
side by side, oxen geared to covered
wagons, horses and carts, all driven by
negroes ! If we could only get a glass
that would bring up the whole posse as
near as ours appears to the, eye, how
convenient it would be Tor our sharp
shooters.
A New Wharf ou the Gloucester
Side of the 1"ork River.
The rebels are busily engaged in con
structing a wharf about a quarter of a
mile below the present one, on the Glou
cester side. What it can be for is a my
stery. A continuous line of horses and
Darts can be seen hauling dirt down from
one of their forts and banking it out in the
river, while a few boats are lying out on
the opposite side with some logs. Wonder
if they would not like to have a pile driver!
We have a few that we will use for them
soon if they do not hurry up. Their river
batteries are very quiet now, our fleet, con
sisting of six' gunboats, lying off some six
miles, anchored across the mouth of the
river.
CONGRESS
The Confiscation Bill.
On Wednesday the confiscation 411WS
tion being up for consideration in the
Mr. WRIGHT, 1a.,) of Indiana, said
he was in favor of some confiscation bill.
The rebellion must be be crushed speedi
ly, and he earnestly hoped for the passage
of some measure for the confiscation of
the property of those engaged in rebellion.
The Government has forborne till forbear
aneetiad become dishonor. It was time
that treason cease, whether in the form of
rebellion or the more insidious guise of
free speech, which gloats over every ob
stacle which prevents the restoration of
the. Union. He referred to the character
of the war, and said there were two kinds
of war. One he would call perfect war,
which was a war between one independ
ent nation and another. He would desig
nate the other as a mixed or civil war.—
The perfect war is under the control of
fixed laws, known as the laws of nations;
but the case is very different with civil war.
In the present war, one of the parties
stands in the double relation of enemies
and citizens. It was a mere aggravation
of crime committed by individual citizeni,
which had grown to the dimensions of a
war, and the war against them should be
viewed as an attempt to arrest them for
crimes. No nation had any right to in
terfere with us in the treatment of our own
criminals. He was tired of hearing the
leaders of this rebellion called "brethren."
They had shocked the civilized :world by
their unparalleled barbarities, and they
are our mortal foes, and should be treated
as such.. He also contended that, as the
armies go South, they must be subsisted
upon the rebels, and those who had broken
the peace should be obliged to support
those who come to restore it. He would
give the - rebels sixty days to lay down their
arms, and those who persist in the rebel
lion '
should suffer the consequences.
Speech of Mr. Cowan.
• Mr. COWAN (Rep.,) of Pennsylvania,
spoke at some length in favor of his motion
to refer the bill to a special committee.—
He was as much in favor of proceeding
against the rebels as any man, but there
seemed to be great differences about this
measure, and he proposed to send all the
different measures to a committee, so that
something feasible might be brought out.
All - the rebels want is to compel Congress
to violate the Constitution in some way,
and he thought they would do that very
thing by passing the bills of attainder.—
There was another idea which seemed to
be above everything in the minds of some
—that is the emancipation of the slaves.
If the war be conducted on that principle,
and for that purpose, it will make the
South a unit against us, and a unit over
such an extent of territory cannot be sub
dued. This is a Government of the peo
ple, and we must not ignore entirely the
o_pinions of a large portion of the people.
Weise fighting to restorethe Constitution,
and to do that we must be careful and
stand by the Constitution ourselves. This
war must be governed by the laws of war.
The old confiscation bills only continued
the war, and made feuds forever. He
thought that all old party differences should
ceaeo;,end we should have only one object
—to put down the
