I (, t SATURDAY MORNING, DEC: 'I'L nituou ; 1 1. Wesley Greene-•H1. Standinn li • and Career' Here. • - • I I: As the publication of the singular state; anent ofJ. Wesley Greene has given rite to much inquiry ea to who and what he is, ...We have gathered such facts concerning _ . tdm, daring his stay in Pittsburgh, as were readily accessible : dLi He is a man of about fifty, of fine ad. ress and appearance, very. intelligent, aid'so insinuating in his manner as to . easily win the confidence of those with ' whom he associated. He is by trade an °temente! japanner, an excellent work ni ' . . n, earning on an average $l5 per week. Hieame here in September, 1861, (prior tot Which time he had been engaged at his tiade in New - York, Philadelphia and Cin. ciiihati,) and was employed by Mr. John Dittilap, corner Second and Marketatreets, t • wi whom he remained , about without in-' ter , o ption , until the 15th of November lafi.. We are assured that while there he wata staunch Union man. Soon after . tabu& up his residence here he and his wifC joined the Liberty street M. E. Church, became a class leader in the church and a teacher in the Sabbath school, anditook an active part in the affairs of the chtikbh. We, have conversed with several members of-the congregation, who express theirioanfideace in him, and, (with refer ence 'to the authorship of the statement) bearitestimony to his ability and intelli genee, while at the same time nothing derogatory to his character was known. About the close of October, a stranger visited Greene at Mr. Dunlap's store and had 4iong conversation with him,- and, as we lattn from another source, was closeted with him for several hours, at Mrs. Little's, Liberty street, where he boarded. A day or two after this, Greene went away, and was absent Some days, the accounts differ ing frdin or eight. He was, at althventa absent from charclione Sun day. !I9n • his return he seems to have given' conflicting statements concerning his abeance, one that he had been , to Cleve land, on business for Mr. Dunlap; another that he had gone to Buffalo, to see his son, who was about to enter the army. He alsolstated to one or more persons that he had .e,ceived communications from Jeff Davis. end also that he had informed President Lincoln of the p_ropositions of which lie was the bearer. To one gentle man he4itated their t übatance, and on his expressing'surprise that Greene should en trust. such valuable matter to the mails, the latter said he had written phonographi cally. 'Similar information was also com municated to his pastor, Rev. A. .1. Ends ley.. i:' His connection with Mr. Dunlap ceased on the of November. Prior. to that time it lis known that dispatches were re ceived Sere from government telegraphic tigents, inquirierf, concerning Greene, - 'en he received a dispatch from 844retary Stanton, calling him to Washington City, he made no conceal merit of:it and left in pursuance of it a day or two after quitting Mr. D's shop. Among the members of the firm and those with whoui he came in contact there he was considered a strictly moral man and his veracity was never doubted while there. Mr. Dunlap regarded him as a man of sound mind and very intelligent. While id Washington he wrote letters to his pa.stcr . and several others here. In one, to an qntimate named Green, he sa'd that in one interview he had dropped some thing which was considered disloyal, had been warned that he would be arrested, that he intended leaving quietly and would not return to Pittsburgh. He requested him to send his wife to Cleveland, with I r instructionii: t to go to the Weddell House and not recognize her husband on the street if she saw him. Mr. Green took 'Mrs Greerieto the depot in a carriage and sent her toCleveland as requested. There is a story i i?lat Greene himself returned here in dieknise and took his wife away, but it is probably groundless. The only 'part of his story that seems to be doubted :id, that relatire to his visit to Richmond rind this turns upon his brief absence at the time the visit was made. As statemedOiliffer on this point it is pos. slble that he7may have made the trip, as stated. No :one seems to impeach his character foril veracity, and as he was a member in gdod standing of the church to which he belonged, it is fair to presume his moral character is good. He has, at all events, created a sensation over the whole countrY. Horrible Death in an 011 Tank. We stated yesterday morning that a man employed atithe oil tank of Messrs. Sel lers, Canfield Co., in the Ninth Ward, previpas to .fire on Thursday after noon, was missing and that fears for his safety were entertained. The man's name was Patrick IDonahoe and thoughnativie search was made for him on 'l'httrada7 night his fatel was not. ascertained. until yesterday morning. It has now transpired that when the'eXplosion occurred be was employed at tio tank, was blown into the ait arid, the cover having been forced off the tank, he fell down into the oil, which had meantime itaken fire, awl was burned to death.

A letter to the Butler Herald states that a considerable quantity of silver ore has been found on the farm of ZebulOn Coop er, Slippery Rock township, by hiorehead, Pike & Co.,'who haVe entered into an ar- I dole of agreement; and are going on im- - 1 mediately to mine and erect machinery to work the same. The presence of the ore, it is alleged, has been known by the par ties for a number of years, but they never could succeed in getting a lease of the prop erty until the present time. The first clue that was got to the locality of the ore was through one of the first settlers of the township, a Frenchman, who had assisted in separating a large amount of silver from the ore at the tune the French held) Fort Pitt '' and and Fort, Yenatigo ; but he being a b oy at the time, never succeed. ed in finding, the locality of the ore. A number of years afterwards the crucibles and other apparatus then used, were found' on Cooper's farm. The parties who have succeeded in getting the lease, have been slyly operating in the matter for a long time but no =person knew their business until this week, when the article was signed.

They fired on our men as they advanced through the streets, while secreted in and behind houses. Not 'mach mercy was shown to those who were caught. A dense fog hid everything from view, but it is now gradually passing away. The troops commenced moving across at an early hour, Gen. Sumner's grand di vision leading the way over in front of the city; Who followed by General Hooker's grand division. Gen. Franklin't grand division, which crossed nearly three miles below the city is nearly over. At a quarter pastinine o'clock this morn ing the first gun was fired, and the firing lasted forabout half an hour. The rebels did not make a very spirited reply. It is thought the troops will be all over by noon. Information received during the.night and, this morning from desertbrs and prix• oners,show that the rebels have two strong lines of batteries in the rear of the city, one extending one mile back, and the see and a mile from the first. The whole army is in rapid motion and well concentrated. The troops are in excellent spirits and anxious to be led upon the enemy's works. The enemy have concentrated their forces and its believed will give battle.— much will depend• upon the result of to- day, but all feel sanguine of success. RIZA.DQU lli'Dlla dairy or Pam irso.

At ten o'clock this morning the fog he lm' to (dear away, brit' before eleven the air was again thick, which continnetitintil twoorhen it entirely disappeared.. 4t a ,quarter past the rebels opened all their Inns posted on the first ridges of hills. Their main fire was- directed upon the city, which was filled with our troos. Those guns which were posted on the l eft' of the ridge were opened on the large,' body of troops which crossed on the two lower bridges and had formetin line of i battle, moving obliquely down the river fronting Massaponax. Although several 1 1 of their shells exploded over our troops. None were injured. • Gen. Bayard's cavalry, which crossed on the lower bridge, had five men killed' while endeavoring to ascertain the enemy's position. The troops which crossed below area, sleeping on their arms, the advance being 1 within three quarters of a mile of Massa -1 ponax creek, their left resting on the Rap pahannock. The enemy occupy the opposite side of the creek in force. The guns posted on the bank this side of i t p he river silenced , the enemy's artillery. , A - duel °Nome half an hour ensued; this ended the firing for the day. 11 The only damage lone by the rebel 1 shells thrown into the city, was to add so' m u'ch to its destruction. - Seventy-five of oar men were killed last nf'tht in the streets of the city while driv ing the rebels out. Isleorly every house in the city has been 1 d amag od more or less by the firing of the last twotiays. Several spendid residences have been completely riddled, as also all the churchea. The fire appeared to be directed on tie most prominent edifices. Several cases ,uf wanton destruction of I property, occurred by our troops when they first entered, , property which could be of no use to the ei‘erny : In many houses the furniture all remained, showing that theiroccuants le ft in haste. ' Some o flour troops mistook the British flag fora secesh flag and tore it from the residence of the British Consul. This morning the owner came over to recover it and the same was restored to him. The main body of the amp is now over the Rappahannock. The balance being in _position to cross at any time. There is no indication of the enemy evacuating, but if they remain a battle must immediately ensue. The McDowell Court of Inquiry, Fri. day.—The; examination of Maj. General Keys relative to a conference of the vari. one corps commanders and General Mc- Clellan, referred to by the latter in his. testimony, was continued. He said that at a conference at Fairfax Court House, Genf MaChillan spoke of some troops then in Shenaridoah Valley, as one portion of troops for the defence of Washington and the unattached regiments in the vicinety As to the other, he thought Gen. McClel lan spoke also of the troops that were to arrive, but, not in definite terms. The President has imposed upon the corps commanders the duty of making definite arrangements fordefences of the capitol, and it was therefore resolved by the ma jority of the council on the 12th of March, that, all the forts on the Virginia side and on the right bank Inuit be fully garrison. ell. • The forts on the 'Washington side to b e occupied, and that there should be in addition a covering or moveable force of troop's on the Virginia side.— This was the opinion Of MeDowell, Heintz elm= an d witness r bat-Gen.

Much has recently been said about the invention of First Assistant Engineer Whittaker for fixing guns under water. A dozen persons have broyght similar plans to the attention of the War Depart ment.
