CITY op NEIGHBORHOOD INTELLIGHN
The Insane Department 01 the
Western Pennsylvania Hos
pital at Diamont.
Well;ingay the hearts of the people of
Westerp Pennsylvania swell with honest
pride when they contemplate the noble
charityjust completed at Dixmont, which,
although erected by the liberality of the
Butte, the its origin in the benevolence of
some odour best citizens, aided by the self
sacrifictbg philanthrophy of that energetic
and unstring benefactor of the human race,
Miss Diix—in honor of whom the locality
of ths fOspital is named.
The ripening of this magnificent institu
titutionOras celebrated yesterday, on which
occasioke some two hundred and fifty per
sons, *lading the officers and Board of
Managers of the Hospital, the Board of
Uttar:firing of- the Poor, the press and a
number of distinguished citizens went to
Dial:x.l°4 about eight miles below the
city, on l iAhe Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
C2iicagciltailway, by the accommodation
train which leaves the Allegheny depot at
noon. Fully one half the company were
ladies, without whose presence such as
set/it-doges sae "tale, flat and unprofita
ble."
Dixmont was reached after a pleasant
ride of half an hour,- atid, as the party as
cended the hill to the Hospital, various
were their expressions of delight at the
commanding location and imposing ap
bearatictOf the buildings and the attrac
tive beauty of the surrounding landscape.
After „enjoying the scenery, as viewed
from theiemineuee yo which the - Hospital
stands, O r a short time, tips 9ompany was
summoned to the commodious chapel,
situated On the upper story of the central
buildingOvhere the business of the day
was gonelthrough with.
Rev D. Howard opened with @n
eloqueneand effective prayer, well suited
to the occasion. He was followed by
Thos. Brikewell, Esq., President of the
Board ofiManagers thanking all for their
attendance, which he regarded less as a
complimget to the Board than an indica
tion of the interest felt in the institution.
Excusing? himself by reason of hoariness,
he introduced 0. 0. Phillips, Esq., who
read the report of the Board of Managers,.
the main-'.points of which must content
our readers
It begs,n by stating that in July, 1859,
the contributors and friends of the Western
Pennsylvnia Hospital had assembled at
Dismonti:lto witness the laying of the cor
ner stone lof the large and commodious
edifice in:-which they were now assembled.
On behaft: of the Board it congratulated
them on ;the completion of the enterprise
in which . they had been engaged for nearly
four years, and for the successful termina
tion of which the Board is largely indebted
to their liberality and State beneficence.
Many wh'si witnessed the ceremony in Its:)9
now rest - , from their' labors, and their
places are filled by those less adequate to
,perform :their duties. The liberal done
-tions of Messrs. Denny, Croghan, Avery,
Sadiple and others, and the ex
ertions of.' the late chairman of the Build
ing Comriiittea. Col. James Anderson,
~occ
upy a prominent position in the grateful
remembrance of the friends and benefac
tors of Irithe institution—nor can the
philanthropic labors of Miss Dix', in the
cause of pattering humanity, be forgotten.
It has been the earnest endeavor of the
rnanagers to combine convenience with
economy---neither to indulge in superfluous
ornamentation nor by injudicious parsi
mony tcf . , endanger - the success of the
enterprise, while by introducing the latest
scientific !improvements in heating, venti
lation and.,•doinestic economy they hope to
reduce to its minimum the expense of
conducting the institution. The central
building Bind improvements may appear
sotnewh4 disproportioned to the present
accommodations for insane patients, but
it should' : be considered that the plan con
templates an extension to more than
double the present capacity, which can be
effected at a moderate cost when the in
creasing number of patients shall render
it necessary, in which case the apparatus
for sup Plying and distributing water and
gas will' be sufficient for the whole estab
lishment: The total cost of buildings,
fipparatus, furniture, &c., has been about
1 7 3130,000,1 principally derived from State
contributions, exclusive of about $15,000,
paid for the farms of 280 acres on which
the Hospital is located, defrayed by indi
vidual beneficence.
The buildings have been erected in a du
rable and substantial manner, by Mr. A.
Patterson . and other contractors, under
the super Vision of Mr. J. W. Kerr, archi
tect an&L the machinery and apparatus
have all been constructed according to the
most Ipproved models, under the immedi
ate superintendence of Mr. Birkenbine,late
of the PlOadelphia Water Works. To all
these geklemen the Board returns thanks
fur th€ ircare and attention.
A rrankoments have been madeby which
Dr. Reed and the insane patients will be
removed from their present abode in a few
days, when the hospital in the Ninth
Ward, tendered to the United States gov
ernment 'for the accommodation of sick
and wounded volunteers, will be placed
under the control of Dr. Ray—and when
the government ceases to require it, will
h' appropriated to the reception and cure
of persoOs suffering from disease and ac
cidents.
The consideration of the fact that two
thousands persons in the Western District
of Penneylvania are now suffering from
insanityllthould convince all of the neces
sity for this establishment and lead us
to appreniate more fully the benefits to be
derived !from its successful preservation,
N. bile the reflect ion that we have been,how-
ever huMble, instrumental in its forma
tion, wily afford us a source of grateful
recollection under all the vicissitudes and
circumstances of our future lives
r.s,Go l v. Johnston, by request, made a
brief address, giving some interesting de
tails of the rise and progress of institu
tions forithe insane in this country.. Up
to 1751 iiothing whatever had been done
for this Unfortunate class, who had pre-
viously been treated as incurable; at that
time a small hospital for their treatment
was fitted up in Philadelphia and in 1817
the Friends' Asylum at Franklin, near
Philadelphia, vats inst;tuted. Ten or
twelve ygars later, apartments in thePhil
tylelphip. Alms House were set apart for
them. But until 1849 nothing was done by
state legislation, when, at the instance of
Miss Dix, an appropriation was made by
the Legislature for the Insane Asylum at
Harrisburg, which was in active operation
in 1.852'1 The speaker was proud to say
i that hetassisted in laying the corner stone
of that Office. The new system of treat
ing these unfortunates by kindness and
conciliation has been found correct and
by it many cases considered hopeless have
been diScharged cured. The proportion
of insalie is about one in 800 of the popu
lation, Which would give 4,500 in the
State; of these 2,500 have been provided
for in the Eastern part of the State, leav
ing to O'Or care . 2,000. By the liberality
of the Mate and benevolent citizens we
have korided accommodations for one
' fourth of these. No argument was neces•
sary tOuduce those present to use every
exertitin to sustain the' H ospital and give
to the cause their hearty"co-operation and
suppok. We should all look back from
this stand-point and learn:activityand zeal
for theiutnre from the past.
Hon'!' J. K. Moorhead next took the
stand ind said he was glad he had taken
an interest in this establishment. Fifteen
years Since it was a reproach to Pittsburgh
that she had no public institutions—no
-, R
114;spifals110 House of e uge—uo:pro
vistott tor the aid of the sick, helpless,
poor and afil;cted; except an' ill contrived
and inconvenient Alms House.,. Since
then we have made great orogress'and can
now point with pride to a splendid Poor
House, a magnificent House of Refuge
and this noble institution. This day made
him feel like looking back to first effiirts
and thinking of thase associated with him.
Death had done its work and ten out of
twenty-one of the first Hospital Board
were gone, including the late Vice Presi
dent, Cola Jas. Anderson, to whom he
paid a high tribute.
The Quakers of .Philadelphia had been
the first to take hold of the subject of
curing the insane. Now that they are, in.
stead of being chained and confined as
wild beasts, treated by rational means,
forty per cent. of the cases ip the hospi
tals are turned outand cured permanent
ly. As the gentleman who preceded him
had said, the first insane asylum in Penn
sylvania was established in I I—one was
erected at Williamsburg, Va., in 177
and *nein New York in 1791. The census
of 1860 shows that we had in the United
States 23,593 free insane persons and 401;
insane slaves—of which Pennsylvania has
2,763. Western Pennsylvania has done
her part towards alleviating their suf
ferings and this day witnessed the
inangurtaion of one of the noblest
charities in the State, which would be a
lasting monument to the liberality of our
citizens.
Mr. Bakewell called on Hon. G. W.
Woodward, of the Supreme Court, who
made a brief, but able and eloquent ad
dress. Though entirely extemporaneous,
it was perfect as a whole, and, as we can
not give it entire, we will not mar it by
attempting an abstract. It was received
with evident marks of approbation by all
present.
Mr. Bakewell now called upon Rev. W.
A. Passavant, who, after a fitting introduc
tion, referring to the fact that our Saviour
"cast out devils," and empowered hiB
apostles to do the same In his name, pro
nounced a benediction.
The company now adjourned to the sec
ond floor of the central. building, where
two long tables were spread in the halls,
laden with the good things of the season
in great profusion. The collation was par
taken of with great relish by all present,
and hospital fare was unanimously voted
excellent. Half an hour was agreeably
passed in this way. the ladies being par
ticularly pleased with the viands set brfore
them.
Then followed an • examimition of the
grounds and buildings, by groups which di—
persed themselves through every part.—
The Hospital is more complete in its nr
rangemants than any similar institution
we have ever visited and every possible
provision is made tor the comfort of the
prospective inmates.
The hospital proper consists of a cen•
tral building, 61 feet front by 130 feet
deep, and four stories in height, arranged
for the use of the officers, visitors, mill.
nary departments, and with a chapel, 1 17
by 47 feet, store rooms, &c. On each side
of this central building extends a wing ]u
feet front by 38 feet deep and three stories
in height, arranged with halls and dormi
tories for the use of the patients, each
wing furnished with a building at the
end, 45 feet front by r/5 feet deep and four
stories in height, parlors, dining rooms.
&c., for the use of the patients.
The whole buildings are erected with
brick walls, iron covered roofs and stair
ways of stone, and with a view to future
extensions of the wings to accommodate in
all 800 patients.
The hospital is entirely heated by steam
pipes placed in the, cellar, of which theie
are now 26,000 feet placed and ready to
give ample heat, with all other requisite
supplies of hot and cold water'to kitchens
and bath rooms.
Detached from the main buildings is
first a building for the laundry, battery and
boiler rooms, 45 feet by feet, and two
stories in height., builtof stone and cover
ed with iron, in which. is placed two Cor
nish boilers six feet in diameter and
twenty feet long, and a plain boiler three
feet in diameter by twenty feet long, for
summer use, with two steam engines, one
connected with a fan twelve feet in diame
ter to supply fresh air to the main build
ings, and the other being used to drive
two Shaker washing machines, one wring
er and a mangle, which are placed; in the
laundry or second story, and where is also
a steam drying closet.
Another building, built of stone and
covered. with iron, contains a boiler and
two steam pumps, to draw water from the
river and send it to the reservoir, which
is placed on the hill,. 220 feet from the
river and about 100 feet above the main
buildings. It is capable of containing
144,000 gallons, sending the water over
all parts of the whole buildings, with a
powerful head. Another building 30 feet
by 00 and 3 stories high, built of stone and
covered with iron, is now,being finished to
hold a gas apparatus, capable of supplying
5,000 feet:daily, and the gas pipes are laid
throughout the buildings ready for use.
The wards will be six in number, three
on the right side of the main building,
devoted to the males, and three on the left
for the females. Each ward consists of
eighteen rooms, with an apartment for the
nurse at the end, a parlor, dining room.
bath room and water closet. In each
ward there are also two alcoves, one in
front, to be used as a sitting room,and one
back, to be used for purposes' of amuse
ment and fitted up with bagatelle and
roulette tables, dc. 'A ten.. pin alley is
also being arranged in the cellar. The
halls will be finely furnished with divans,
lounges, St.c., and the walls upholstered.
The dormitories communicate with each
other by ornamental gratings, enabling
the attendant to see 'through the entire
range. Communication from the nurse's
to the lower rooms is effected by speaking
trumpets throughout the house. The di
ning rooms are furnished with steam ta
bles, dumb waiters, and all necessary ap•
pliances,:and in the halls is a foul clothes
chute and dust tube communicating with
the cellar. The bath rooms are supplied
with bath tubs and washing apparatus,
with hot, cold and spring water. Here
also we find drying closets. Fire plugs
are distributed through the bath rooms,
with sufficient hose to reach any part of
the building. The water closets have 'a
downward ventilation, communicating,
throutt the cellar, with the boiler chi m•
ney, 'Alia carries of all the vapors. There
is an infirmary for the males and one for
the females, and on the second floor is a
well fitted dispensary for medicines.
The kitchen arrangements are perfect.—
being fitted up with an immense range,
capable of roasting any quantity of meats,
an oven for pastry, and an arrangement
for keeping food warm. There are also
two immense cast iron kettles, for boiling
sottp, potatoes, hams, Ike., two large cop
per boilers, for tea and coffee,With faucets
to supply them with spring water, six
steamers for vegetables, of about two
bushels capacity each, steam tables,
The kitchen, as indeed the whole house,
and all the apparatus, is heated by steam,
and no fire is used in the building. There
is also an officers' kitchen, with dining
room attached, for the use of those attach
ed to the Hospital. The dumb waiter is
admirably . arranged. It is freighted, in
the kitchen, with the cooked provisions
for each ward and is then dropped to the
cellar, where the contents are placed on a
victualling car, running up on a railway
with many sharp curves, (the invention of
a patient in the Philadelphia Insane Asy
lum) by which it is conveyed to the
dumb waiters communicating with the
upper wards. The dishes are transferred
to this and sent up to each floor, where
their arrival is announced by a bell rung
from below. There are a thousand minor
conveniences, which we have not space to
mention, further than to remark upon the
perfect ventilation of the whole by force,
. through the working of a huge fan under
the building.
The visitors were highly pleased with
the arrangements, an examination of
• .
which tooktitnituitil the arrival of
the accommodation ;train, about five
o'clo r ck, upon= which they all ,7 returned
home. The day will he one long remem

be present.

Committed for Iligani3
Mayor Alexander yesterday committed
to jail on the above charge, in default of
bail, one .lames M. Campbell, of Alle
gheny, an engineer. Ile is charged with
having married three wives, the second of
whom (Mrs. Margaret Ann File, a respect
able widow,) brings the charge. She al
leges that, having a wife-in Delaware, he
came here, passed himself elf as single,
and in March. 1559, proposed marriage to
her. She accepted—they came to the city
and went to a house where they were mar
ried
by a respectable looking man, whether
minister or magistrate she never learned.
She had doubts about the legality of the
ceremony, and Campbell promised to get
a marriage certificate, but put it off on
various pretexts. After two years, during
which time the couple lived together and
had one or two children, Campbell aban
doned his wife, and, she asserts, married,
last March, another woman, with whom
he is now living. Upon the hearing,
Campbell denied ever having married Mrs.
Fife, but she gave in evidence facts and
papers which go to prove that he at least
acknowledged her as such. Among other
things, she had executed a power of at
torney to him, as her husband, to collect
rents, etc., and alleges that she can offer
abundant proof that they lived as man and
wife, and that he aCkriowledged her as
such. He repudiates her altogether, and
claims that the woman with whom he is
now living is his only legal wife, and that
he never had any other. The Mayor
deemed the evidence sufficient to hold him
for trial, and in default of bail was com•
witted to jail to answer at Court.
Ladies' Stationery.
It is an evidence of good taste in the
fair sex, when, in their correspondence,
they use pretty, delicate stationery. Noth
ing is more pleasing to the female friend
or the male admirer than to receive a
small, delicately tinted note, indited in
tiny, womanly characters, and it always
gives an exalted idea of the character of
the sender. The ladies can supply them:
selves with all the requisites for this
species of correspondence at Miner's great
periodical and stationery emporium, Fifth
street, where they can find billet and note
papers, plain and fancy, envelopes, &c.,
in endless variety.

HAURISBI'IM, November 11.—It is re•
ported this afternoon that the rebels were
in Mercerahurg and advancing on Chant
bersburg. It is probably unfounded and
caused by squads of' Vnion cavalry pur•
chasing horses.
WASIIisoTos, November 11.—The cor
respondent of the Associated Press at
Headquarters Army of the Potomac re
ports that a large force of the enemy's
cavalry made their appearance at Salem,
which is thirteen miles from Warrenton.—
They were hovering in the rear of our ar
my, evidently watching our movements,
and to cut off transportation supplies.
The information received respecting the
rebel army shows A. P. and I). H. Hill's
commands were encamped in and around
Culpepper Court House; that Longstreet:s
command lies between Culpepper and
Gordonsville, while Jackson holds Ches
ter and Manassas Gaps.
There was heavy firing in the front yes.
terday between Pleasanton and Stuart, but
the result was of no importance.
Gen. Bayard still remains at Rappahan
nock Station with the enemy in force on
the opposite side of the rivei
The troops are in comfortable and
healthful condition, being well clothed nnd
with ample supplies of food.
The Commissionerof Internal Revenue
has decided, in regard to the tax adver
tisement., that the last proviso of section
88 of the excise law, exempts a newspa
per whose total circulation does not ex
ceed two thousand copies from all taxes
on advertisements, and the last proviso
but one, of the same section, exempts the
receipts for advertisements to the amount
of one thousand dollars, consequently they
will be assessed only the excess over one
thousand, and then only when their
whole circulation exceeds two thous•
and copies.
The agent of the associated press is au
thorized by the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of the Treasury to say that the
report of cabinet divisions upon the meas
ure of the administration, which have
gained some currency, are altogether un
founded.
The milita .mmission, of which Maj.
Gen David :linter, U. S. Volunteers is
President a. appointed to meet in the
city of as ington on the 26th of Sept..
pursuant to special order;, No. 255 of
September 23d, 1882, to investigate the
circumstances of the abandonment of Ma
ryland Heights and the surrender of Har
per s Ferry having reported that Colonel
fhomas H. Ford, 82d Ohio volunteers,
conducted the defence of Maryland Heights
without ability, abandoned his position
without sufficient cause, and has shown
throughout such a lack of military caw!
ty , as to disqualify him in the estimation
of the commission. for a command in the
service, the said Colonel Thomas H. Ford
is, by direction of the President, dis
missed from the service of the. United
States.
2d. The Commissiot, having reported
that the behavior of the 126th New York
Infantry was disgraceful, and that Major
William H. Baird, for his bad conduct,
ought to be dismissed; the said Major
Baird, is by the direction of the President
dismissed from the service.
ad. The Commission having reported
that Brigadier General Julius White, U.
S. volunteers, acted with decided capa
bility and courage, and merits approba
tion, and having found nothing in the con
duct of the subordinate officer brought be
fore the commission is released from ar
rest and will report for duty.
The Navy Department has received
vo l um in o us dispatches from Rear Admi
ral Farragut. dated Pensacola Bay, Oct.
15th. After stating that Galveston, Cor
pus Christi and Sabine City, and the ad
jacent waters are now in our possessiort,
he says that a short time ago he`sent down
the coast of Texas Acting Volunteer Lieu
tenant .1. W. liiittridge, with the bark
Arthur, the little steamer Sachem and a
launch, with which force he said he could.
take Corpus Christi and the waters adja
cent, from whence we heard of-so many
small craft running the blockade to Ha- ,
vane. He succeeded very well and took
the places, made several captures, and
compelled the enemy to burn several of
their vessels. But, on one occasion. ven
turing on shore with his small boat he
was surrounded and taken nrisoner and
carried to Houston where they paroled
him on condition that he should go North
and not serve till regularly exchanged.
I next sent the Kensington., acting mas
ter Crocker commanding, with the Rachel
Sim and a• launch with a howitzer to Sa
bine Pass. He too succeeded well; he
found at the bar one of the mortar schoon
ers, Henry James, acting master Penning
ton commanding, whom he invited to take
part with him, which he did, and accord
ing to acting master Crocker's report, per
formed his duty with great credit. They
took the fort and are still going ahead
finely, having taken several prizes, one of
which arrived yesterday with dispatches.
I next sent Col. Piershaw with the gun
boats Owasco, Harriet Lane and Westfield
to take Galvestion, which he did in the
shortest time and without the loss of a
man. It appears that the first shot
from the Owasco exploded directly over
he heads of the men at and around
the big gun their main reliance, and the
enemy left a flag of truce, it was hoisted
and the preliminaries arranged for a sur
render, which took place on the 9th inst.
Corpus Christi and the adjacent waters
are all atill held by the Sachem and other
small vessels. •

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The greatest
haul of counterfeiting apparatus that has
beep recovered for years was made by
John Jenliins, deputy -U. S. Marshal of
Philadelphia t iassisted by Benj. Franklin,
chief detectiie police of Philadelphia and
Ser i e.. Edward 'Tryon, of the 18th ward
police, Philadelphia. They:succeeded in
arresting a man named George White,
fifty years of age, whose place of residence
is at No. 233 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn,
and place of business No. 88 Cedar street,
New York, under the assumed name of
T. H. Bentley & Co.. White was formerly
employed by the American Bank Note Co.
All the paraphernalia of the counterfeiting
business were secured. The finished
plates and vignettes, as also those in pro
cess of engraving, betray the hand of a
master workinan. Finished plates on the
following banks were secured : Commer
cial Bank; Glen Falls Bank. G's; Bank of
Orange County, N Y, s's; Pocasset Bank
of Falls River, Irs; Liberty Bank of Provi
dence, R. 1., 2's; Waterbury Bank of
Conn and 10's; Farmers' Bank of
Reading, Pa., l's; Cnylers Bank of Pal
mvra, Pa., s's, and Manufacturers' Bank
of Troy, N. Y., 15's. Both establishments
were broken np, and the prisoner handed
over to deputy superintendent Folk, of
Brooklyn, to await a hearing on Monday.

WkEmo:trrox, Nov. 11;—Major General
McClellan and personal staff left Warren
ton at. II o'clock to day, and on reaching
Warrenton Junction a salute was fired.—
The 'troops which had been drawn up in
line ;fterwards broke ranks, when the
soldi rs crowded round him and many
eagerly called for a few parting words.- -
lie said in response while on the platform
of the cars: "I wish you to stand by .
BuriMide us you have stood by me and all
will be well—good bye." To this there
rose a spontaneous anti enthusiastic re
sponse. The troops were also drain up
in line at Brixton Station and Manassas
Junction, where salutes were fired and
where McClellan was complimented with
enthusiastic cheers.
The party arrived here this sternoon
just in time to take the tiet;o'eloek train
for TSenton. The ears being , detained
owing; to some impediment on the track,
Gen. McClellan was recognized -by the
many Soldiers quartered in that vicinity
were he was greeted with oft repeated
elierrA.
The,following farewell order was read
to the troops composing the army of the
Potomac yesterday morning on dress par
ale:
11 EAn9r ARTERS ARMY POTOMAC,
CAM? NEAR ItECTORTOWN,
Nov. 7th, 18(2.)
Officers and soldiers of the army of the
Potomac : An order of the President de
volves upon Major General Burnside the
command of this army. In parting from
you, I cannot express the love and grati
tude I bear to you. As an army you have
grown up under my care. In you I have
never found doubt or coldness. The bat-
ties you have fought under my command
will, probably live in our nation's history.
The glory you have achieved in onr peril
and fatigue; the graves of our comrades
who haVe fallen in battle and disease; the
broken forms of those whom wounds and
sicknesS have disabled, are the strongest
assertion, which can exist among men,
that we are united still by an indisoluble
tie. We will ever he couirades in support
ing the Constitution of our country and
the nationality of its people.
Signed, GEo. B. MCCLELLAN,
Major General U. S. A.
Nista' Nov. It.—Special to the
New York Tribune: Gen. Rosecrans and
staff arrived last night, having lett Bowl
ing Green at (..; o'clock that morning on a
train to Mitchellville, making the remain
der of the trip, 40 miles, without inter
ruption hy the guerrillas.
l'he forests are blazing nlong the greater
portion of the route and many dwellings
are destroyed. The country looks pain
fully desolate, and the inhabitants' forage
and stock is nearly all gone.
The reports about the starving situation
of Nashville were fanciful. About 30,000
bushels of corn and other substantials
were in store when Gen. McCook's corps
arrived.
The recent attack of the 111)em was a
reconnoissance and feint to enable Mor
gan's guerrillas to destroy the Railroad
Midge. We lost about PA killed and
wounded in the attack. Gen. McCook
has driven most of the rebel guerrillas
clear back from the city.
The rebels are still in considerable force
at Murfreesboro' but are retreating as
rapidly as possible beyond the Tennessee
River, destroying everything as they re
tire.
A supply train of 100 wagons arrived
from Mitehellsville last night.
Gen. Roseerans oecupiell Gen. Buell's

BA I.TI YORE, Nov. 11.—Gen. McClellan
just arrived and passes through to Phila-
delphia in the 7 o'clock p. In. train. He
goes through from thence by special train
for Trenton.
