THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 4 UM 1N NEIGHBOCHOOD INTILLIGINCI Exemption of Postmasters. Mu. Flotrou.—Do you know, or could you inform your numerous readers how many postmasters are necessary to take charge of a country post office, where the revenue of the department (in a majority of cases) is not over $5O per annum, and rarely exceeds $lOO iu the rural districts? Since the talk of a draft commenced, there have been numerous accessions to the clerical departmerif of said offices, exempt ing in some cases, two, three or four able botlial men. In each of these districts good men, exempt by disease, age, &c., or women, mmld be found to supply the places of them *tatriots if they desire to go, and doubtless in many cases the emolu meats would be turned over to their Should not the administration be urged to alter our exemption laws, sons to make every man, in or out of office, subject to military duty, except the heads of depart ments and Congressmen Those who are living at government patronage should be the first to go at their country's call, or at least send a substitute., as they are usually amply able to do. }AIR PLAY. We can only say, in answer to our cor respondent, that one man should till the duties of a country post office without as sistance, and the employment of addi tional clerks could, in many instances, be shown to be a palpable evasion of the law. We know of some patriots in this city who could fi'l a doeen such offices without overworking _themselves. We could not vouch for the' manner in which the duties would be' performed, but we kmlwat least one Rho hos found no diii cu!ty in disposing of the emoluments o! several fat places , The Oil Market. The following is the weekly review o the oil businct , ,, from the Oil City Reg ister — Business *has been rather dull since our last repot!: Shipments and receipts at this point hare — been comparatively light. Navigation is in a manner sus• pentied, and there is a great scarcity of teams. Holders are generally firm at $l per bbl at the wells. We have heard of one sale at the Sherman well, of 4.000 Mils, at 75 c:s., but this price has been wince refused. The ruling rates at • this ...point are to ;1.1,1U. The market is rather nesvatlttl, but seems to have an up ward tenduncy. The demand is brisk, but transportation is difficult to procure. Sev• eral of the miners here are duplicating the number . of their stills, which is a healthy indication. It is estimated that by the Ist of October it will take some 1,0'!O hbis of crude oil daily -to supply the rotiovrics on Oil Creek. fhere is considerable activity among the miners, with a fair prospect of success, at least in expectation• The war excite ment has somewhat interfered with the nil business here and on the Creek for the past week. There is at present a great scarcity of both laborers and teamsters, :is some two hundred brave, stalwart men have guile forth from this section to serve their country. Prices of twining ranges from 18 to 45 cents from the Tarr farm and the different forms this side of there. Freights to Pitts burgh, $1.40.

The Oil (II Register tells the following.: "Mr. Henry ?Miler, who lives a few rods iihove Shirk & Co.'s warehouse, on the t:ezik of the river, proceeded.a short time thine to dig a well on his premises for the of getting water for family use. ~s,fter digging some thirteen feet petroleum nt began to Ooze into the hole the work men had excavated, and the fumes of the gas became so strong that they had to leave it. This occurred some twelve days ago. Mr. Miller fixed up a pump in the well and has pumped up an average of tienn three to live barrels e er day, of first rata oil, of about 41 specihc gravity. The niece surrounding this well has been used a a wharf for storing oil. Of 'course, a I :Lip quantity has leaked out of the bar ,ts upon tbe ground. Whether the oil procured by Mr. Miller is merely soak :igb oil or a vein, is a question that time will determine. If it proves to be a vein of now oil, it will introduce a new phase in boring for Oil. We shall investigate the matter more fully before we venture to .speetilste." New Counterfeit. Messrs. & Nare, of the National B.mk Note liaport4r give timely notice n new and dangerous imitations of $5B and 3! 0s ou the Bank of Geauga,at Painesville, Ohio, which are being circulated in the city. For the present our readers had better refuse all notes of the bank and de nomination named. We understand that one babking houve in this city was victim izod with $5OO of these bills on Tuesday, but did not catch the sharper. Child Scalded. On.

A minim! luis. Viet' .14iuized frofiE the nine companies recruited here , by!He ward to o b e Sigel, to be filled up with another emit:a ny at Harrisburg. The regimental organ ization is not, perfected, but it will, it is said, be about as follows: Colonel, Ed ward Joy Allen; Lt. Colonel, James Col lard; Major, -John P. Cain; Adjutant, Jno. T. Dennison. The companies com posing the regiment have been in Camp Howe for some time, and yesterday they were furnished with uniforms and equip ments. They have been under marching orders for two days past, but it was only yesterday that it became certain that the regiment would leave in the evening. Ac cordingly, squads of men were out all day hunting up the stragglers and taking them to camp. The departure was sudden to many of the soldiers and preparitioni, were necessarily hurried. The companies now in the regiment are, Kerr Rifles A and B.,Hilands Guards, McAuley Guards , Park Zonaves, of Alle gheny county ; and the Clarion Guards and the Clarion Rifles, of Clarion county About half past six &clock in the even ing everything was in readineas and the regiment formed in line at Camp Howe and marched to the city, arriving soon after seven o'clock. The regiment halted on Ross street, the right resting on Fourth. Here an inter eating prest ntation bad been arranged to take place from the steps of the obi Second Ward school house, (now occupied as a Welsh church.) where had assembled the Board of Directors, the Principal and teachers of the school, a number of personal friends of Col. Allen and some of his relatives. Col. A. was one of the pupils of the school and spent many hour• of his earlier years within the walls of he old school building, along with many the: present. On the arrival of the regiment Col Allen joined the group on the steps and Jas. M. Gallagher, Esq., (one of the South Ward "boys") presented to him, in a seas address, a splendid regulation sword, sash and belt, on behalf of the old pupils o the South Ward. Col. Allen replied quently, alluding to his connection wish the school, the number who bad alread3 gone fbrth from its walla to tight their country's battles and promising to do his duty according to his ability. Jno. M. Kirkpatrick, Esq., now stepped forward, and in brief but appropriate terms presented to Cul. Allen a splendid pair of revolvers, from the Central (Fre mont) Glee Club of 1856, of which he had been a member. Col. A. merely returned thanks for the gift and withdrew after re ceiving the congratulations and adieus 01 his friends, many of whom were deeply affected at parting, none more so than his old preceptor, kir. deeds, Principal of the school. The regiment now resumed its marcll and soon reached Liberty street, where cars were in waiting and thousands of anxious spectators. The partiogs of many who will never meet again were very sad, and it was almost a relief when, at nine o'clock the three trains took their depart ure, amid elithitsiastic cheers and vocifer ous shouts. The glippozoonomaden. Thayer. Noyes St Co.'s Great United States Circus arrived yesterday m•Tnitm:. and gave the first performance last even• Mg. on the lot in the rear of lien Trimble's, to a gocd audience. The company is good, embracing some of the best performer's in the country, and the horses, appointments and prDperties are all first class. Some of the acts are very attraaive—the clowns are good—and the show. as a whole, is ex• cellent. There will be performances every afternoon and ni•4lt this week. Go, if you would have real fun. The Allegheny Mayoralty. The i tlectiodk for Mayor of Allegheny City, to till the unexpired term of lion.

Coun• ells meet to-night, when the nem Mayor will probably be inaugurated. The Cool Assessment. A cotemporary thus explains the recent decision of .ludge Sterrett, relative to the assessment of coal lands : Previous to the present year, land in Allegheny county had been assessed simp• ly as surface land, without regard to the coal value. The Commis , ioners ordered the assessors, in making their assessment for 18t12, to take into consideration the co& value. Where the coal and surface were owned by the same party, the value of the coal was to be added, and when the surface and coal were owned by separate parties they were to be assessed to each respectively. But, it seemed that the As sestior of Mifflin township misunderstood his instructions, and where parties owned both coal and surface, he made a separate instead of an aggregate valuation—as sessing the surface at —, and the coal at —, and adding these together. It was from this information that the appeal was taken, and the Court sustained the appeal —tne Commissioners being ordered to correct the duplicates for said town:tail, accordingly. 'Hence it will be seen that the power of the Commissioners to assess the coal with the surface, is sustained, but where the owner of the land owns the coal also, the assessment must be in the ag gregate, as directed:by the Commissioners. Where the coal and land are owned separ ately. then the assessment, •of course, must be separate. In other words, the Court virtually sustains the Commission ers in thelr action, and merely corrects the informality of the assessor in the sin gle district alluded to. In all the other districts of the county the assessment has been correctly made, and henceforth the coal in our hills will he a legitimate object of taxation. On Gen. Sumner's Staff. We understand that Lieut. Jo , •eph L. Miller, of Hampton's battery, centre sec tion, the first company which left here under the last call for volunteers, has been attached, for the present, to General Sum ner's staff.

There are very few atrawflers here, and the city to day is comparatively free from excitement. The reports of the rebels having crossed into Maryland find believers, but nothing to-day was reliably known as to inch a pro ceeding. It does not seem propable, as the troops lining the upper Potomac shores are sufficient to check the progress of any forces making such an attempt. The weak points have been or were con siderably strengthened to-day. Gen. McClellan went over to the rear with his body guard and staff. The sick and wounded continue to ar. rive in ambulances, omnibusses and hacks. It is reported to-day that firing was heard in the vicinity of Leesburg, but there is no means of telling or ascertain ing the truth of the rumor. Sec'y Stanton was at the department to day attending to business, and is mention ed as a refutation of the report thatyes terday that he had retired from the conduct of the war department. Before closing information has reached here that the rebels are making a demons • tNition up the river, and that some have already reached Leesburg and are alread, pread between there and the chain bridge as if desiring to cross the ferry connecting with Montgomery county somewhere in the neighborhood of Poolsvil le. Reports reach us that Winchester has been evacuated. The rebels having ap peared in force in the valley. The Secession programme heretofore published, seems to be in the line of con summation, as far as the enemy can ac complish it, namely, to carry the war int.. Maryland. Our troops though much damaged by recent service, are being r. cruited and improved par Y.l 3 106 t-W Par jar . .4 4 ;6 I CIVCINNATI, Sept. 3 —Regiments from camps and companies from the interior towns have been arriving all afternoon and the military authorities are very active. At six r m. Tuesday, the rebels occu pied Lexington 6.000 strong. Railroad and tel‘.-graphic communica tion has been re-established to Paris. At tiro this afternoon a reconnoitering engine proceeded within ten miles of Lexington, where they found a burnt bridge. It i, not known whether the rebels oc eupy Lexington or not. X train of twelve wagons was captured twelve miles from Cincinnati tl_is morn mg. Large numbers of negroci are being caul across the river to work on the forti fications. Wsstitsorox, Sept. S.—Eleven hundred paroled prisoners, some whom were taken by the enemy as far back as Thursday at Mannassas, arrived late this evening at Aqueduct Bridge, Georgetown, and re port that Gen. Lee Fas established his headquarters three miles beyond Bull Run, on the Warrenton turnpike. The only force at Fairfax was Stuart's cavalry, he being there in person. The rebels as sisted these men in the burial of our dead, most of whom had been stripped of their clothing with tee exception of their shirts. Our men say the enemy at the time were 4o hungry that they rushed for the haver sacks of our killed and wounded. --Our gnen saw columns of the enemy marching 'o the rear on the Warrenton turnpike to ward Thoroughfare Gap. Washington is comparatively quiet; the excitement of the last two days having -übsided. Such disposition has been made of the troops within the last 24 hours as to restore oon6dence. Reports nave reached bare from time to time of certain regiments having been nearly an nihilated, when after the lapse of a few days the rumors prove groundless; the re appearance of numerous stragglers being the best refutation of the exaggerations. HLRRIBBURO, Sept 3.—A rumor to the effect that Gov. Curtin had telegraphed the Secretary of War that he insisted upon Pennsylvanians being placed under com mand of (len. McClellan only, has gained considerable circulation, both in Wash ington and this city. I have the best reason fur asserting that there is no truth whatever in the statement. The intelligence from Washington that our army has fallen back upon the fortifi cations and entrenchments of that city has given rise to the expression of many opin- ions with regard to the propriety of send ing away from Pennsylvania her thousands of soldiers, as it is thought they may all be required at home. Over thirty thousand have already gone, and many others are preparing. Loctsvim, Sept. B.—ln view of the preparations being made and making to resist the enemy, the excitement here has considerably abated. The cotton here is rapidly being transported across the Ohio river, purchasers refusing to pay here, but offering 45 cents on the Indiana shore—an advance of five cents on yesterday. Authenticated rumors say the rebels are burning all the cotton they come across in their marches through Tennessee and Kentucky. Col. Shackelford, of the Bth Ky. cavalry, overtook A. 1. Johnston at Morganfield, Union county, yesterday, killing and cap turing a number of Johnson's band, and is still pursuing the remainder. The Southern line is again interrupted below Russellville.

Wznittorox, Sept. 3.—Yesterday after noon at four o'clock there was considers, ble fighting between Fairfax C. H. and the intermediate space toward Washing ton.

PITTIONIIRGPE3I. u • I' lhe Very Lateit. TO BARTLE AT OLLIMIS ON lONIA [From the Washineou Star of Tuiesder evening. ] We hare reliable information from the front up to 9A.M. to day. The engage. ment of last evening, meutimled elsewhere in to day's Star, was heaviest opposite the position occupied by the division of the gallant General Reno, (about two miles north of F.tirfax Court House,) who re pulsed the enemy handsomely, and with severe rebel less. We, however, regret to have to add that in the course of the fight there, Brigadier General Isaac I. Stevens was killed. As yet no particulars of his death haye reach ed Washington. After their repulse by Reno,- the enemy declined renewing the engagement for the day, and had made no attempt to do so up to 9 o'clocek this forenoon. At that hour, in the execution of the change of front, which we anticipated on account of the flank movement of the reb els, a large portion of our army had been massed in and around Fairfax Court House. Our right was at or in the vkin ity.of Flint Hill, the Court House being our centre. The impression last night and this morn ing, at the front, was that, foiled by Reno in his demonstration upon the Little River turnpike, the enemy had moved further around towards Vienna. Our army, we may add, is in excellent order to-day. P.. 9.—We hear that since 2 P. M , rather heavy cannonading is the front, in the direction of Fairlax Cuurt House, has been heard here. From the Philadelphia Besuirer. A dispatch from one of our correspond ents,-dated near General Pope's head quarters, at noon, says yesterday - Gen. Pope ordered Keyes' corps to hold Ger mantowt, where the little river turnpike crosses the Warrenton pike. About 7p. no., he was attacked and fought till dark. Ilia morning (2d) the whole column is falling back to Fairfax Court House, and thence to Washington. • I Skirmish Near Centreville. About two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, as a detachmen of litty-one men from the Second Cavalry, under Captain were at Centreville, they were surprised by a superior force of STUART'a itebel cavalry nod some artillery. On seeing them approaching our men got together and fired, with their carbines, killing, as ,hey heard afterwards, one Rebel captain and four privates. Some of the Rebels returned the fire : wounding Martin Kelly in the thigh. The party being overwhelmed by numbers were obliged to surrender, but the enemy at once paroled them, and this morning (2d Sept.,) they arrived in the city. • They re port all quiet last 'right, and state that esterday the enemy were near Centre ville Yesterday, in a skirmish, a body of rebels were driven back some live miles. Saturdtti - •a Fight. .1, 0 ~ o ritiS Ui 1,-iieing WASIIINGTON, Monday Noon, Sept. Ist. —I have passed must of the morning to conversation with a gentleman who went out as nurse, and returned Iron the field this a. in., having left it at 5 p. tn. yester day. I lie-war news is not much changed.— Ile great que..tion is Whether the rebels gut ail their army into Saturday's fight. taink nearly alt. At p. zu. yesterday the bulk of Pope's army was on Centre ville kle.ghts and Plains. Only one-third of our wounded were in our possession— the rest were dying, with the rebel wound viz Inc livid, which enemy held. A Intg ut truce, sent out in relation to these suthlreis . . naa n driven back.— Fitz John Porter was at Alanassas,or near it, aith his corps. Banks was separated from Pope. but was falling back, burning his baggage tram, &e., to join Pope.— ' Franklin and Sumner had come up and had the front. The troops suffered great ly but were heroic. Fitz John Porter's forces did not get up in time on Friday, nation Saturday broke and acted badly, especially Duryee's Zouaves, (Filth N. Y.) and the Pennsylvania reserve regi ments. . To-day it was thought the haute would be renewed, but nut unless the enemy should attack. It is generally thought we ought to attack with our fresh troops, lest they should take the muskets, left on the field, draw oil', and claim a victory. No stragglers are in the streets of Washington. Alexandria is in deplorable confusion. Next to the inequality in numbers, the chief reason of our Saturday's defeat was that our ammunition gave out. Our men were all without toed for thalty hours; the direct consequence of Pope's allowing the rebel army to flank him, got in his rear, circumvent him, and cut off Vie Hue of uppiies, of which he early and ostenta tiously proclaimed himself so regardless. Sept. let, SP. 31.—Advices to-day from the army aro more favorable, though there is but little detail. Our forces occupy a strong position at Centreville, and at this hour no large. engagement, so far as is known, had occurred to-day. Gen. Pope was heavily reinforced yesterday, and is being still further reinforced to-day by veteran troops. Burnside has doubtless joined him ere this. The next battle is imminent, and it will be a larger and more desperate one than has yet been fought. /rains aro running now to Manassas, and are rapidly bringing in the wounded here, the Bull Run bridge having been re built. lien. Banks has not been heard of, but his position is believed to be more sate for him than for the enemy. Unless the rebels have an immense force—two hundred thousand—we will outnumber them in effecive fighting men in the nest contest. They are under com mand of Lee, and include all forces about Richmond. The reinforcements which came through the Gap Friday had nothing with them but their muskets and ammuni tion—no supplies nor artillery.

The incidents of this letter were taken down in my note book on the bloody bat tle field of Manassas Plain, while sur rounded by the white, cold bodies of 1,800 slain heroes of the Republic. and 6,000 living soldiers of the rebellion. At 10 o'clock on Monday Gee. Pope sent a fin of truce with a calla of ambu lances to carry off our wounded in the Saturday's fight. The carpe Al rived at the outer line of enemy's ladies, stationed along the bank of Cub Run, about 11 o'clock, and the white flag at once gave us admittance within their lines. A curious group of_ slouch hart-d. butternut uniformed cavalry thronged around us, and though detailed to essurt us to the battlefield, stood around listlessly staring at us as if we were a sort of national horse show. They were very respectful, and cleverly communicative. Chatting along the road, they took us to the battle field. Standing around the battle-field n vari ova squads, companies and haus/lops were about /1,000 soldiers, draped tin ev,•l3/ _ .. ~ Istyle of - dress conceivable; from a PU riout . hunting jacket to a • muskrat oveii:out • some were dressed as civilians, with um h • iah mtlitary about then, except a sword o r a rusty shot-gun. They all, a4ked u 4 how long before the war...would eltiiin. They said, "All you had todo was to stop fight ing us, and peace would come., as we were all sick of the war." They siOd they for some time had got nothing to eat or wear frem the Government. They hail not re ceived a single :ration from the Govern- Meat for the last ten days, but had lived on the country and the ste , ply they took from us at Manassas; still almost every man avowed his intention to fight to the last ditch fel-their independence. i Sow the Field Looked. Our dead Jay untouched as they fell in battle, with the exception of their caps and shoes. I did not see a single instance I among the whole eighteen linnetred dead, where the shoes had not been rified. These were paliating circumstances, tor many of the rebels were barefooted. The ' rebel dead . and wounded had. all. been disposed of, and not a sincic vestago of sick, killed, or wounded remained on the field. Even the struggling soldiers did not know where they had been taken to. They were evedently buried secretly in ~ he night by negroes, for occasionally in a deep rardhe i came across mounds sometimes ten or fifteen feet'square, where their victims had been secreted from the gaze of their own men. , - ALIIMBEMENTB. - PITTSBURQH THEATRE ; i.sasen Aso Masson W 1 t .
