T i Ij:ESDAY MORNING,-.DEC,._ 9..': UITY AND IBIGHBORROOD INTEhLIGKNOB Gorge at the Month of 011 Creek --Forty Thousand Barrels of 01PDestro1ed. Las week we noticed the destruction of a largoviantity of erode carbon oil, worth perhaps $75,000, in one of the artificial pond ;freshets," on Oil Creek, by which the 4i s run down to the river. We now have - !to 'record a far more serious loss, amounting to over $200,000, which Occur red on" Sunday night. Theirecent rise had brought down the creek, 90 Oi l City, an immense quantity of oily thn , accumulation l 'of months' about (30,Outtliarrels in all, This was chiefly "in (pumped into tight barges for - floathi( down the river) though there were iilho several thousand barrels. The boats,ll es they reached the month, were Secured on either bank of the river, . belowlt; he creek, in what is known as "the eddy," and theaccumulation of the cratt loh both sides so - blocked up the river to leave but a narrow channel. When4he sudden "cold snap" of Satur day anti Sunday came on, this narrow chan , net frOe over .and the ice gorged from above,lhile the water, forcing its way eitherlunder or over the boats, exerted such aniimmense pressure as to break the boats ;from their moorings and set them afloat. !liT.he scene of confusion which fol• lowed . ,cannot be described, as the frail boats, Piling one upbn another, three deep, were ck,nohed and broken, letting out their oily' ti:easure, while the river was dotted for a *eat distance with bariels, tossed about until their contents were also spread over theleurface of the water. Some barge loads of oil and numbers of barrels were of course saved, but all accounts agree upon thu fact that at least two-thirds of the oil its lost. The accident occured on Sunday night and during yesterday the office-of the Oil Valley `elegraph,at the St. Charles Hotel, -was thronged by interested parties, eager to learn'Whether their own ventures were safe or Involved in the common destruc ‘tion. Dispatch after dispatch was sent to Oil and various were the rumors afloat. 14'he' first dispatch estimated the loss atl4loo.ooo—the second made it double that amount and at last accounts the aggregate had run up to 40,000 barrels lost—valued at not less than $250,000. We are )Ihable to state which is nearest _ thatrutKbut the number of losses we have heard or; would go far to substantiate the acenincy of the medium, figures. One firq; 7 Shreve, Tilson &Co., lost 4,000 or s,oooAarrels, a Mr. Titus 700, Dennis Sumedi, probably 1,200 and other smal , ler lots.iPThe Columbia Oil Co , Toby Oil; o. andjSmith & Weston are also named as 2 , eavylosers, but the number of barrels hasii been ascertained. It is impossible n ow anything like a correct list of losses aniii we will not make the attempt. Thiseasha.'4" wi 11, of course, cut off the anticipateni sop 'ily of oil for our refineries for a thief and' L AI:Ise an advance in the market. :4'he price will, however, be less affected here, where t.'ie market is'steady, as in thel.ffi,ast and Wes. .. where there is a disposition to se ll at a m 'exiflce inconse quence of4he recent "tumb, i e" in refined oils in NO Yqrk arid Philadei;.illial where speculathin was rife. Addition to the• General U' ine es of thq*lttaburgia, Fort Wa. v ne and Chicago Railway Co. The capacity of the building occupied by the mineral officest of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway Co., on Filth. street, has for some years been so limited est to seriously interfere with the ,speedy despatch of business and al though alterations for the purpose of giv ing increased facilities have been made from time to time, no plan for permanent relief upon until recently, when, finding that Mr. J. L. Oarnaghan, of Al legeny, wad putting up a substantial build ing on a lotlseparated from the railroad of fices by a Orivate alley, an arrangement was made with him by which the entire sec ond floor, of the new building was leased. by the coUrPany. This room has been re cently finished, and a passage way built across thealley,connecting the main build ing and the: new office, which has been ele gantly fitted up for the use of T. D. Mess ier, Esq.,(Comptroller and his clerks. The apPoilitments and arrangements of the office Made under the personal super vision of*. Messier himself, are perfect, exceeding .! anything of the kind we have ever seen and may well serve as a model for imitatiOn. The room is about 110 feet in length and 25 feet wide. About twelve feet in the ',front' part is partitioned off for the basinellif office of the Comptroller. The apartmentliis elegantly furnished and everythingthat can in any way add to the convenience of its occupant or enlarge kis facilities . , irit supplied. The floor is cov ered with fine Brussels carpet and the fur niture is all of black walnut, oiled, pre senting a very rich appearance. The win dows are ,furnished with handsome verii tian blinds a marble washstand occupies a retired f:nbok or closet, and the whole office has an air of cheerfulness and com• fort not often observable. Mr. Messier's desk is not only an elaborate piece of workmanship, bat •. combines. everything which be desired. It was made by by C. F. r io..ylpfer & Co., from a design furnished by Mr. M. A door ,(rom the Comptroller's office opens "inte!it room 90 feet long and -the entire width of the room, occupied by th twenty-tweiOlerks who keep the hooka of the offi:ie, IWhere all the business of the company Oentres. Three are kep'. con stantly emfiloyed on the disbordements, five on the Ilekets and ticket, register, one on the bonds and transfer books, six on freight briefness, three on pemengers and the remainder on the general books of the company. ;ghese are constantly under the eye of theiilchief, Mr. Messier, who can thus communicate readily with any when ever necessary. At the rear end of the room is anlnimense fireproof vault, twen ty-two feet,2iong by eight feet wide in - he clear, withiiivalls two feet thick; arched root, massive iron doors and burglar proof locks. "Her all the books and papers of the companY are kept, neatly arranged on walnut sheh r es. The Comptroller also has an excellent safe in his private office. ;A door openeßinto the large room occupied by the clerks from the passage way, so that can be entered without passing through Mr. Measleils office, The whole is lit up by five4`gsnaliens!lin the ceiling, warmed • by steam' 'tripes running along the wall and lighted from the windows in the alley. Mr. J. •W.llrerr is the architect and the iron work the vault was furnished:by Burke 4 Barnes. The netlfirrangement will add:mnch to the convenience of ail the officers of the road, whO have more orlessbusiness with the Compoller as they are, ott,the,same floor with* and can communicate with' him more 'satisfactorily than in his former quarters in! inn upper story-of the main building. The rooms vacated by himare to be °edified by other officers and the whole suite''f offices will soon beremod eled and made to equal in style the ele gant and coffifortable department presided over4by Mr.l;Messier, who should feel high ly gratified* the manner in which his ex ceedingly tasteful design has been carried out. .;IL Bausitiwhinekers Cien4lll6: One hu bruihntheckers, - belonging to Jenicinel baud- of marauders, and re cently capiured near Lewisburg, were sent to Camp Chain, from Wheeling, on Friday. apa4ilAft Altellefloittheroopc ic .4 " ouNbitx, ;Pittsbur . ghi'D, 1862. • - tioricise POT : —Gents: 2 7 D (trim this iuc`temeat weather the . 1 . is 'often sat ed &mi . `can *iirelieiv Abe 11koor;s ticularly tira families , ofvolunteers.

The 168th and 169th Pennsylvania Regiments (the drafted-men from-Camp-Howe) had been ordered to embark at the Seventh street wharf tor Fortress Monroe. There ap peared to be a great lack of discipline in the regiments, ands some mutinous con• duct seemed to be brewing,, an aid . to Gen. Casey, Capt. Church;was dispatched to the spot, who reported that the regi ments were disorganized and scattering over the neighborhood. About twenty of Scott's Nine Hundred (cavalry) were dis patched to the ground, under command of Capt. C., who collected the insurgents, and with the aid of the colonel, one of the regi ments, the men were driven on board like sheep. Brought Back. Theophilus George, arrested at Indian apolis, on suspicion of haying robbed Mr. Mcßane, telegraph operator, at the St. Charles Hotel, in this city, was brought here on Saturday night,• and is now in jail awaiting his trial.

The Pond Freshet of today was a good one. We have heard of but two boats, being hist, : both of which were roaded with barrel oil. Most if not all of this will be saved. The shippers and boatmen seemed to have profited considerably from the experience of - the previous freshets: We Should esti mate the total that has come out of the Creek in' the last three freshets at. 30,000 barrels We learn that a movement is on foot to conduct our oil to various points on the railroad by means of pipes.

Simberg, Nickel's battery, and a small detachment of the 2d Indiana cavalry, was surprised at daylight on Sun- day morning at Hartsville, by Gen. John Morgan, commanding three regiments of cavalry and two of Infantry. Atter fight ing for an hour and a quarter, our forces surrendered, and the enemy burnt our camp, capturing nearly all the brigade train and teams, and burning what they could not carry away. Two guns of Nickell's battery were also captured. Our loss was between fifty and sixty killed and wounded, who were left on the field. The rebel loss iu not re ported. The pliant Lieut. Col. Stewart, of the 2d Indiana Cavalry, and Col. Moore were among the captives. Major Hill, of the 2d Indiana Cavalry, was wounded, but not dangerously. He says that half of our infantry fought well, but the other half soen. broke. Colonels Harris and Miller's brigades were sent in pursuit; but the enemy had forded the Cumberland, and were out of reach. A few shells sent after them caused a rapid retreat. Major Hill denies that the camp was surprised. If it was not, the affair was the more disgyaceful to us, as Hun_taville was a strop g position. On Thursday a Lieutenant Colonel of Davis' division was captured while 3kir. mishing. Two regimental Quartermas ters, of Gen. Palmer's division, were also captured while foraging. Thirteen wagons, with mules, on a for aging expedition were captured on Satur day. A deserter from Murfreesboro reports that Cheatham and Breckinridge were there with 15,000 troops.

B.—Housz.—The main question was then ordered, yeas 83, nays 47. Mr. Olin, of N. Y., expressed his eur prisethat any objection should be made to the postponement of the bill, when an op portunity for its discussion would be af forded. If it was postponed till next Thursday it could be examined with care and wisdom, which the House should bring upon so important a subject. What he objected to spceially , was that a meas ure of such great importance "and upon which thlme was a diversity of opinion and should be hurriedly thrust through the House. • PITINIBUR6III. Mr. Valandigham, of Ohio, said. he had objected only to the bill being , made a special order. Mr. Colfax, of Ind., differed from Mr. Olin, he said lie did not think the immedi ate passage of the bill would be discredi• table to the House. Mr. Stevens was about addressing the House on the subject, when Mr, Vallan digham raised the question that Mr. Stevens had no right under the rule to do Mr.,Stevens asked that he might be al lowed three minutes to explain. Mr. Vallandigham objected, unless others should haves similar privilege. Mr. Holman, errrid., moved to lay the bill on the table. Not agreed to. Yeas 45, nays.BB. Mr. Stevens explained it was not his in tention to put the bill ona passage, but a postponement was presensed. Mr. Thomas, of Mass.,desired an amend ment, in order that those who have been illegally imprisoned may have their reme dy. Mr. Stevens in further explanationsmaid he doubted the authority of the President to suspend the habeas - cFputt, except from absolute necessity during the recess. He held that Congress is the sovereign power and not the President. He had carefully copied the bill from the preced ents of the Bnglish Parliament for the last two centuries and not adding a word, ex cepting what was necessary under the present ciroumetnncee of the country.— The President was justified in exercising tbe power atlhe time of our extremest peril, when traitors were found in every house hold and township North and South. The bill passed; 90 against 46. Mr. Wright offered a series of resolu tions that the rebellion of the seceded States against the government and laws 'was deliberately waged and without rea sonable cause, and asserting the duty of the government to put it down by every constitutional meams, "tc. Adjourned. Sticers.—Mr. Wilson, of Mass., offered a resolution instructing the Secretary of War to report to the Senate the number of Major Generals , and Brigadier Generals now in the service, and how they are em ployed. Adopted. Mr. Wilson, of Mass., offered a resolu tion instructing the Committee on Milita ry Affairs to inquire into the expediency for providing by law for a more effectual suppression of the rebellion, and securing tranquility in the State of Missouri. Adop ted. Mr. Sumner, of Mass., offered a resolu tion that the call upon the Secretary of War for the correspondence, &c., relating to the Army of the Potomac, be extended so as to embrace all such operations, since the first movement of that army. Adop ted. CMS Mr. McDougal, of Cal., offered a reso icon instrnetmg the Secretary of War to em the Senate whether any congress. t n i o. iistrict of the United States has more ional, then tw - o midshipmen in the Naval Acade- &e., &e., &e., .fie.

Mr. Latham, of Cal., introduced & bill tcO , protidelor deisilopiiieriedftlin Liu eral-resourcesof the -United States and its public ilomain. Referred. ' Mr. Sautsbnil, of Del., called up the 'resolution ielating to the arrest of certain citizens of Delaware. Mr. Wilson, of Mass, objected to the resolution. He said there might have been some mistakes in these arrests, but there' were many more men who ought to have heen arrested than who really have. Mr. Bayard, of Del., thought that this government was especially valuable Nom its protection to citizens, yet in no other free government was the citizen-liable to arrest at the discretion of any and every, officer. He urged the 'adoption of the re solution at some length. Mr. Doolittle said he understood that in all these cases of arrest the offer had been made if the persons arrested would take the oath of allegiance, but it had been refused. There had been complaints made that the Government had been too lenient, and that many who had been simply im prisoned, had not been hung or shot, he would like the resolution to lay over. Mr. Saulsbury said he referred to these two persons ; because they had never heard of any charge against them. They had been arrested in a loyal State and for no offence whatever. Peaceable citizens in Delaware and Maryland had been arrested and dragged from their homes, and he thought hid at least a right to inquire into the matter. There was no disposition to oppose the government at all. After further discussion the chair,an flounced the special order to be tile - Bank-. rupt Act, which was informally laid aside. Mr. Davis, of Ky., offered a joint reso lution propoging certain amendments to the Constitution to alter the mode of elec tion of President and Vice President of the United Stites, as follows : That the President and Vice President be elected in the following manner Ecah State may, within thirty days next befoye the time appointed for the electioe of President, in any mode adopted by-the State, nominate to Congress one candit date, and on the first Monday of Febru4 ary next before the expiration of each Presidential term, the two houses of Congress shall meet together as a con vention in the hall of the house of repre-, sentatives, and all'the candidates nominal ted by the States within the preceding thirty days, not exceeding one from each State, whose nominations shall have beeel authenticated to Conss shall be before,' said convention cand ida te s' for the Presi-- dency, and thereupon the said convention shall proceed under the supervision of the presiding officers of the two houses to vote - _ y open ballot from among the said candi dates for President, and when any one shall have received the number of votes equal to all the members elected and ap pointed by both houses of Congress, he shall be declared by the President of the Senate to be elected President of the U. 8. In all 'eases where balloting shall have continued in this mode through five days, and no election shall have been effect& on the sixth day, it shall be resumed, and after each ballot the officers presiding shall drop the candidate who has received the smallest number of votes, or two or more candidates who has received an equal num ber of votes and less than all the others, and the halloting shall be so continued among the remaining candidates null one shall receive the majority aforesaid, and thereupon the President of the Senate shall announce him to be elected President of the United States. The Convention shall then proceed in the same manner from the remaining candidates to elect a Vice Presi dent of the United States. Whenever it may occur in the voting for President or Vice President, that all the candidates but two had been dropped, the balloting between them may. if necessary to make an election, continue two days longer, and if then no candidate shall have received the required num ber of votes, the officer presiding shall report the state of facts to the Supreme Court of the United States, and it shall thereupon pronounce which two candi dates shall fill the office. , The amendment was ordered to be printed. The chair laid before the Senate a com munication from Secretary of Treasury, in answer to a resolution, calling for the amounts paid for prosecution and litiga tion of laud titles in California. Mr. Anthony, of R. 1., offered a joint resolution, increasing the bonds of the Su perintendent of Public Printing to forty thousand dollars. The Bankrupt Bill was then taken up, and read at length. On motion of Mr. Foster, of Conn., it was postponed till Thursday, the 18th, and made the special order of that day. On motion adjourned.

Mr. Harmon is a leading Democrat in Michigan. He was formetly editor of the Detroit Free Press, and is an able and triotic man. It is a burning shame to Michigan that he was thus allowed to be kidnapped and taken out of the State.— There will be a heavy day of reckoning near at hand if Lincoln and his Cabinet persist, in this infamous and illegal prise:- Vice of kidnapping Democrats in the Northern States.
