Greatrake, of the Frisbee Infantry, 46th regiment, reached here on Suuday. He gives an account of his cap ture at Cedar Mountain and states that on the evening after the battle he and the oth er prisoners were mar.led to Orange Court House, thence to Gordonsville, and from there to Richmond, where they were confined in a miserable, filthy prison, swarming with vermin and without wash ing, accommodations. They were fed on excellent bread, and fresh beef, which was sometime:3 poor and in very small quanti ties,obliging them to buy "extras,' smug gled into the prison, at five prices. They were badly treated, frequently insulted and their guards only grew more brutal when' remonstrated with. Lieut. G., personally, knows nothing of Capt. Poulk (whose fatehas been in 'pitch doubt . ) but believes him to be a prisoner in tile enemy•s hands. He was informed by Capt. Bush, of the 28th New York, ta 11,n prisoner at Culpepper, that -he had seen Capt. F. at Staunton, badly wounded in the f,ot, and that amputation would be necessary to save his life. He believes Capt. F. is yet at Stanton and will be heard from soon. - C.,pt J. 11. Stewart and John Hancock, both released at the Fame time with Lieut. G., were in Washington city on Saturday. They had received furloughs for twenty days and were expected here last night. A Mutiny, Saturday's Washington Star has the fel lowing : this morning 110 men of Col. Seh-ttielfeOlg's regiment (74th Pa.) came to the Provost Marshal's office, and sl!lted that they had refused to march with their command, because through the negli gence of their officers they_ had not been paid fur six months, and that their fami• lies at home leere suffering. They were sent to Fol rest Hall eson, Geori, et an, wh era their wants will be attended t)." The Riddles. Capt. Wm. Riddle, son of the late R. H. Riddle, arrived here on — Sunday night, from the army- in Virginia, after some months abscnee. After his escapeufrom Richmond he came to this city and soon aPer returned to his regiment, the r.nh Re serve. lie being supposed dead his posi• tion in the company had been filled by another and he was appointed to a posi Lion in Gen. Meade,'s staff. He was with him through several battles, until Gen. Reynolds was released from Richmond, when he was transferred to his staff and fought with him at the battle of Antietam, where he received a ball is the right hand, which passed through just at the root of the forefinger. - The wound is painful but the finger• can lw saved, though it will be useless. Capt. R. wits remain here until his physician thinks him fit to return, when hP will resume his position. His brother, S. Riddle, a private in the Pittsburgh 11; tlei, was wounded in thebattle at Gaines' an I was in the hospital until last week, a hen he was released and returned to his regiment. The Riddle boys are over liowing with patriotism and courage and are making for themselves an undying rec:rd The Oil Market. The Oil City Rcgi.vier of last week, has the I,llowing: '•11'i• have hut little or no change to note since our last. The river to this point lower than it has been for a number of years, and navigation is al• most wholly suspended. There don'tseem to be much eagerneSs among shippers to g.et their oil forward, under the existing :.cats of the market. Oil is selling at from Vtlto 80 cents at the wells. We hear of sales at this point of some 2,000 barrels at 1. The Woodford well, on the Tarr Farm, has started up again, and we are informed is flowing about 400 barrels per • day. A considerable amount of oil has changed hands along the Creek since our last, but most of it will be stored at this point until: navigation is resnmed. Our la test PiLtsburgh advices quote Crude at a". to 7 cents, Refined 25 cents. The mar- I; et closes inactive. New barrels are sell ing at sl,lltt to $2.

We refer our readers to the able circular of Alexander S. Macrea, in another column. Teaming unchanged, from 7 G to 35 cents per barrel, according to distance. The following is the amount received at our different warehouses for the week end ing Sept 23d:—Shirk ok Co. received 1,227 barrels oil; shipped 1,427 bbls. Hanna's warehouse received 1,244 bbls.; shipped 1,437. Reeeived 1,832 empty barrels. The Banditti of the Prairies. Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Bro., Phila. at . .lphia, have issued a "sensation" nar rative of adventures in the Western coun try, entith.d ' The Banditti of the Prairies,' or ' The Murderer's Doom.' It is Munro.. t. d with descriptive wood cuts, and will be acceptable to those who love to pore ter thriliingaud hairbreadth adventures. It is for sale (price 50 cents), by Henry Miller, Lyon's building, and W. A. Gild etifenny, No 45 Fifth street. Not Dead. It is stated that Nancy Fleming, one of those reported as killed by the Arsenal disaster. is still alive, and hopes are enter tained for her recovery. She was buried beneath the Men timbers. and was badly burnt on the back_of the neck and arms, before she was rescued. She is twelve years of age, and is now lying at the resi- I ence of her anther, in the Fifth Ward. he was deeply burned, and suffers muck ~.in. but her physician thinks she will :iltimately recover. Killed at Ball's Ilan. Samuel Addison Lyon, son of H. B. Lyon. of Duquesne borough, was among he killed in the battle of null Run, Aug, h. He was a member of Co. D, - 11th eserves, and was only eighteen years of .g e. Dr. piumer. For . the Post. • , • •We have, for some months past, given careful attention to the discussion which has existed for a considerable period in the Central Presbyterian Church of Alle gheny. We have more than once felt in clined to take up the pen and add another to the many who have made the affairs of that church the subject of their discus sions. The reason why we have not done so is because we have considered the pas- I tor of the Central Church, amply able to defend himself; hut events have shown that however great may haie been his abil ity, however little or however great may have been the exertions of his friends in his favor, he has at last been obliged to yield •to the pressure which has . been brought against him, and is now no longer a member of our community, and no lon ger fills therein the position of either a pastor or a Professor. In his absence, he has left behind him in the hands of his friends, a reputation, which among the many, we fear, stands not at the highest; among the few is cherished with a more than ordinary friendship. His character has been aspersed, his motives have been misunderstood, his loyalty has been int oeached, and he has been driven an im poverished man, from the many happy as sociations here formed, and from those institutions which, to a great extent, had been the reiult of his own toil: it is our duty, therefore, as far as we are able, to defend him, and discover the reasons why he has left us. Dr. Plumer came to our city snmeyears since, to till the position of a Professor in the Theological Seminary of Western I Pennsylvania. .At that time we believe 1 1 the Seminary did not stand as high in the estimation of the people as it. does at pee sent. Owing greatly to the exertions of Dr. Plumer, its prosperity was greatly in creased, and it was advanced to its present high state. After having filled the post of a Professor for a considerable period, he was induced by a few of his friends, to add the duties of a pastor to those which he was already performing: and ac cordingly, having gathered about hint a small congregation, he commenced holding religious services in the Odd Fel low's Hall, Allegheny. Underlhis foster ingeare his congregation rapidly increased and had soon become so largo that the hall was no longer sufficiently large to hold them. It was proposed and decided to build a large and handsome church, and in a month arose from the scarcely cooled ashes of another building, on Amierson street, the tasteful and elegant strifkure which now bears the name of Central Church. Up to this time, and fur 8011/P months after, love and peace and union filled the congregation. On the one hand the pastor was revered by his charge,and tie on the o her feltgrateful for and honored by the prosperity which they ascribed to him At this time the dreadful civil war in which we are r 0 s involved—the great Pandora's box of evils to our country—commenced. Some of the congregation became dis pleased with, what they considered the Doctor's sentiments in reference to the war. They were also displeased that he did not accede to their wishes in conform ing the wurship to what they considered demanded by the eircume.ane. - -s of the country, and that he did not show sorb cient respect to the recommendations of the President. Consi.lerable discussion ensued, and in a short time the excite ment became so intense thst a meeting was called to take into consideration the Doctor's conduct,and to remove him limn his position of pastor. A set of condem natory resolutions, and such us would have rendered necessary the re4gnat ion of the Doctor,were proposed and voted down by a large majority, and another se', ex• presseng satisfiction with h s;conrs, , were substituted by an equally large mai:.rity. The matter, so far us the church wit., tam cerned, was now generally considered set tled ; but the minority, as usual with rev olutionary bodies, were energetic: they were wealthy and influential; they carried with them, apparenily, the svmpathy those outside of the church: They deter mined to withdra 4 front the congregatioll, and, iu doing, so, drew up and presented to the Presbytery a memorial contaiiiine their supposed wrongs ; whereupon ri meeting of the Presbytery was convened. and it was decided thereby that Doctor Plumes be requested to resign, and that committees be appointed to settle the al fail aof the church. Dr. Plumer did net resign,•committees were appointed, but har mony between the different bodies was now totally destroyed. The minority insisted that the pastor should resign; the majority were just as determined to retain him. The dispute was finally, and as the major ity supposed, forever settled, by the repay ment to the minority of the sum they had contributed to' the church, and by their final withdrawal from the congregation. Unity was now re tared to the congrega• lion; those who remained loved their pas tor the more for the trials he had under gone. The affair, however, was not vet ended. ft had gottee into the public press; partisan feeling had been aroused by every means at the command of the doctor's en emies. On every side—in every house— were heard invidious criticisms upon his conduct, while lie and his friends were to• tally silent. Those who felt inclined to defend him were silenced by the wild cla mor with which their propositions were met. A meeting of the Board of Directors et' the Seminary was called for the 18th and one of the Presbytery for the 19th of September, to consider the question of the dismissal of the Doctor from the olliees which lie filled, and intimations were given him that he had better resign. It was not necessary, however, to give such intima tion. It must have been evident to a mind of less capacity than that of Dr. Plumer that he was allowed the choice of an alternative: he must either resign or be dismissed. The Presbytery, which had before requested him to resign, intended this time to make their action effectual; and the convening of these bodies alone, after the past excitement and discussion, when, if they did not intend to act, there could have been no possible necessity for meeting, is sufficient evidence of what they intended to do. The Doctor, worn by care and anxiety, almost crazed by the constant abuse he was receiving from ev ery side, chose what he considered the better horn of the dilemma, and resigned both his charges. If anything else was necessary to show that his resignation was a virtual dismissal, it was the unanimity with which his resignation was accepted. They knew that nothing would have more delighted the old man's heart than to have had his resignation refused, and he allow ed to remain in peace and comfort among long-continued and well-tried friends. Had they not intended, therefore, to dis miss him, they would have voted other wise; and we may, therefore, consider his departure compulsory. We ask: what were the grounds upon which these bodies based their action? After much inquiry, and amid all the nu merous and often indefinite complaints we have heard, we have found only two. They are disloyalty and injury to the church! And, after a little analyzing we think they really unite in one. For, on the one hand, the Presbyterian church does not take cognizance of the political opinions of its members, so long as they do not affect the prosperity and govern. ment of its own body. It deals, so far as opinions are concerned, exclusively with moral and religious principles; it does not go beyond its sphere to dea! with theisolit ical or financial principles of men. Thus, even in this great rebellion; when princi ples of different kinds are greatly confused, while in two successive assemblies she votes it miler duty to sustain the 'Union, she in no way endeavors to control the conduct_ of those._ members who may not sustain the Union. Though no longer represented in its general assemblies, the I [ Enembei'Veni 'the South is just as inaoh's metziber. to-day at he was before thi war [ comme nced. " The :iiiiiiiiiter Sheri is jest as. much a minister now as then—and if a minister was to come to us from England,. and, believing that a monarchial goSern meat was the best, and that ours was all wrong, he would not be interfered with so long as the church was uot affected. Dis loyalty, therefore ? aside from injury to the church, could not haviken the reason why the should so act. On the other hand, the only injury that Dr. Plumer is con sidered to have done the church has been through his supposed disloyalty. In all other respects his conduct is unimpeached, his reputation bright as the mirror. The only objection, then, to his conduct is than through his disloyalty he has injured and is injuring the church. It might be thrown into some such syllogism as this. All dis loyal Presbyterian pastors in the North do injury to the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Plumer is a disloyal pastor; therefore he injures the church. 'There are evidently two proposition to be proved here. Ist. That disloyal pastors do injure the church. 2d. That Dr. Plumer is disloyal. We pass by the first, merely expressing a doubt as to the connection between the church and State, and as to whether polit cal opinion, even here in the North can, unless so used as to become a moral ques tion—such as in stirnp commotions, &c.,— in any way effect the church, and come immediately to the second. if we can prove that he was not disloyal, then .he could not, through disloyalty, injure the church, and we must look elsewhere for the cause of trouble. Let us see what are the evide . nces of the Doctor's disloyalty. They are, such only as have come from himself. No one, eith er at home or abroad, has, by writing or otherwise, accused him of any posit.ive act tending to destroy or discredit the Gov ernment. All his sins in this respect have been negative sins, not such as even the present administration would take notice of. Ile has never committed any overt act against the government; he has never giv• en the ',twiny aid and comfort: and these accordin g to the law of the land, are the only ways in willed' a man can be disloyal to the government. The sins of omission of which they accuse hint —and which in deed lie never hesitated to do openly in sight °f ail—thus, indeed, to an impartial' view, to a great extent refuting the accu sations made ugainathim—were that in his Trayers in the church lie omitted to pray for the President oc the United. States to put down rebellion. and refused to observe the day set apart for thanksgiving after the brittle , of Shiloh. The first charge amounts to nothing, inns:l:n.ll as he never omitted to pray 14 the chief tnagist ate of the nation. and those who were in mi.hor ity under him: and while he ni lile the nth. er two "omissions. he at the ,ntile tune prayed for the soldiers • and that its fortn er peace and prosperity might ::gain be re. stored to the lath!. Coupling these with leis eoletoined resieleteee, the ..inn-et that can lee drawn from ?kern is that he believ ed in the right of secession, but that while he helievol in this right, the earnest de sire it Itis heart was that the land neiglit be restored to its former proicerit y.

Now this card. one would have supposed, forever settled:the question of loyalty. Far tram it, the storm grew fiercer than ever. The facts that he did not pray for the putting down of rebellion and had neglected to observe the Presi dent's day were still to be accounted for. They could not see that the whole matter was now reduced to a question of policy, and that Doctor Plumer, with many thousand others, might think the policy at present pursued altogether wrong, that he might think one of a hundred others was the right one. We do not presume to know what was the policy of the.ftev. Dr., but we suppose it was the not uncommon one, that this war was unnecessary in the beginning, and that the destructive policy, the war policy was entirely wrong, and that a victory on either side was less to be rejoiced over than deplored, and he could not pray for what he thus believed to be wrong. Is suai a belief, in a particular [ policy, disloyalty? Then the thousands who have believed the President to advance too slowly in his measures are disloyal;— then the Quakers are disloyal; then all who differ from the administration, in the slightest degree, are disloyal, and govern I Meat has become nothing more than a vast despotism. We do not believe that those who persecuted intended to injure Dr. Plinner without'; cause. They had so confused. in their 'minds religious and political principles, they had become so used to look upon political principles in a merely abstract mural point of view, that because he differed therein from them, he was unworthy his position of pastor and teacher. That they did not intend it does not alter the case; they were really per secuting a_patriotic man on account of his politics. Indeed many of them even went so far as to state their belief in his loyalty, but put their opposition to him on injury to the church. But In this case, as we have shown, these two grounds were one. We are willing sooner to believe their hearts than their heads. Tee former were all right, the latter were all wrong. We trust that with us they will hereafter say that Dr. Plamer did not through disloy alty injure the church, and if any of his [ congregation have made his actions an !excuse for injuring, they did so without [ just cause on his part, and should them selves suffer for it. There is an old maxim of the ficiinan Catholic Church, which is indeed its chief glory, which we believe has been received through that church and adopted into the Protestant denomination. Whether it has Whoa not, its grandeur is the same, and apply equally to all the relations of men. with. each -other. It is, "Unity in ne . cessary things; liberality in doObtful Unzi; vhssity in all things." We cannot see how the Limoval of Dr. Plumer pro. motet' any of these objects. It could not promote unity; for when he was removed there was unity both in church and semi nary, and the result would be rather to drive many in disgust from the church. Certainly, if there ever was an opportunity for liberality, there was in his case. The subject was one outside of the church; one upon which no two men agree, and in which, if we follow the march of events, we find him more nearly right than those who have favored a more destrustive poli cy. No one can deny that we are worse oil to day, notwithstanding the loss of so many lives, than we were when we com menced to quell rebellion. And where is that charity which "suffereth long and is. kind ;" that charity which covereth over the nakedness of the father:, that charity which see:h not the fault of a friend; that cLtariiy—that love--which is the greatest of all the virtues. We see it not. One fault might have been overlooked, amid so many good deeds and good qualities; one blemish might have been bidden. Could they not have remembered how much more affluence he had left behind hint to come here; how many times he had refused higher salaries to go to other places: bow he had expended his own for tune in furthering the interests of the e!itarch here: how patiently and nobly he had borne the insults of the past year?, They did not remember his good deeds— only his sin. Perhaps they ought not to be bla they were only representing that mob-spir it, which xith its smelling committees and with its prying into private transactions, has ruled us in the past year. When the minds of the people are perverted, we ought not to expect too much of those who lead them. All distinctions have been mingled; it ought to beexpected that those who follow the popular current should re member them. But we can hardly forgive the spirit that would drive from his church a pastor, in accordance with the will of a minority of twenty-four, against that of a majority of one hundred mid fourteen: nor that excludes from his professional chair, a l'rofessor, where forty out of for ty-four of the students memorialized for his continuance therein, and a number of others have left the Institution. Nor should we eAst too much blame up on the man high in the nation's councils, who. while he is proclaiming freedom to the African, he is compelled to excuse himself, through the public press, for the only practice) action in favor of liberty of ] sp-eeh antldiberty of thought, that he will probahly ever have an opportunity to per- I tortn, mid which, if he had not recalled, might have saved to us a loyal man and a christian, W e trust, however, soon fusee this false publie sentiment corrected, and before many years pass by, we hope to see the return of Dr. Huffier to our inidst,to ei.j..y again the pliatiant associations of ' his past life, witleitit the bitter !horns wiii, li have lately pierced his sides.

A dispatch received from the War De partment yesterday extends the time for raising this regiment to the 10th of Octo ber, autl orders that the men shall receive Wanly and' advance pay. This is about the last chance to enlist, and we hope to see the regiment till up at once, as it will leave but few men to be drafted in this county. Hospital Supplies. The Subsistence Committee have re ceived notice that no more lint or band ages are wanted in the hospitals at pres ent, but that there is a great want of un der clothes, muslin shirts, wines and jel- lies. It is said that there need be no tear of the supply of these articles being too great. State Militia. Several companies of State Militia pass ed through on Sunday, Sunday night and yesterday, on their way home. They were all fed by the Subsistence Committee at City Hall. In the City. Adjutant General Russell arrived here yesterday, on a business visit. An effort is to be made to induce him to extend the time for hearing claimants for exemption. The Coroner le Wesel le the Arise . It bee become a question of some inter ' est as tti who shall imythe expenses of the inquest Just concluded by the Coroner up on the bodiet of_ thesekilled by the Arse nal disaster. If f,.es were charged upon each body, the aggregate Would be large— nearly $300; but we understand the Coro ner will not demand more than a reasona ble compensation. But the Controller, we are informed, says he will not pay the bill, as the accident occurred within the jurisdiction of thrUnited States authori lies l • and we confess we cannot see bow it can be paid by the General Government, as the inquest was not authorized by it, and the Coroner is not a Government offi cer. We apprehend that it will be difficult for the Coroner to collect his tees. Some are of opinion that there would be equal difficulty in taking action under the ver dict, owing to obstacles in the way of issu ing and executing any process that will leach the parties implicated. If tried at all, their case must come before a United States Court. The Draft in Third Ward.

SHOOTING NELSON AT LOUISVILLE. A Card from die Governor of New Ham FOREIGN NEWS 4t0., LOtISVII.I.E, Sept. 29 .—There are many conflicting accounts of the shooting of General Nelson by Davis. About a week ago, Nelson placed Davis in command of the home guard forces of the city.-- At night Davis reported to Nelson the number of men working on entrenchments and enrolled for service. Nelson cursed him for not having more. Davis replied that he was General Officer and demanded the treatment of a gentleman. Nelson, in an insulting manner, ordered him to re port at Cincinnati, and told him he would order a Provost Marshal to eject him from the city. This morning Governor Morton and General Nelson were standing near the desk of the Galt House. Gen. Davis ap proached and requested Governor Morton to witness the conversation between him self and Nelson. He demanded of Nelson an apology for rude treatment he had re ceived last week. Nelson being a little' deaf asked him to speak louder. Davis again demanded an apology. Nelson de nounced him and slapped him on the lace. Davis stepped back and clinched his fist and again demanded an apology.— Nelson slapped him in the face again and denounced him a coward.-- Davis then turned away and procured a pistol from a friend and followed Nelson, who was going up stairs. Davis told Nel son to defend himself immediately firing, the ball penetrating the left breast. Nelson died in about twenty minutes after. Nel son requested to see his old friend, Rev. Mr. Talbot, rector of the Calvary Episco- H pul Church, who was then at the Galt ouse. Mr. Talbot administered the sacrament according to the forms of his church. The General repeated the ser vice after the mirister and refused to talk on any other subject. He regretted that he had nut long ago turned his attention to reins on the I.Pxington and Frankort Railroad have discontinued running f for the present.
