Gen. C. F. Jackson. Iwthe late attack on the rebel works at Preffisricksburg,Pittsburgh has, according to the telegraphic. accounts, lost _another gallant son, in the person of Brigadier General Conrad Fager Jackson; of Gen. Reyetild's Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, '' in Gen. Mea son, who -was, Division. Gen. Jack, at the time of his death, nearly forty - five years of age, • .., was ii;native of Berke county, in this State. In hisj youth he removed-to Schuylkill county', where he acquired some political influence and was once a candidate for the Stet& Legislature, and, we believe, a suc cesaftill one. He kept a hotel in the town . of P?thiville for some years. When the htexivin war broke out he raised a com pany in that vicinity, at the head of which he served through the campaign, in one of the Pennsylvania regiments exhibiting all tha: , l qualities requisite fo r a thorough soldier - After the war he returned to Pottsville, where he resided until 1854 or 1856, when he came to this city and ob tainecf4e. position as condictor on the Johnstown Accommodation train on the - Pennsylrania Railroad. He was soon pro moted land became a conductor on one of the thriigh traini, in which caparity he served ,acceptably; until shortly before the breakingl out of the rebellion. When the PennsylVania Reseries were being formed. he raised a company known as the City Guards,; Co. B, which, atter remaining in camp forli some time, Was attached to the Ninth Reserve Regiment, of which Capt. Jacksoniiiii chosen Colonel. Thefirst bat • tie in which the regiment took part was at DrainesOte and in this and subsequent _actions the Colonel distieguished himself for coolness and courage. About the - - close of 'the last session of Congress, the nomination of Col. Jackson as a Brigs Bier General was sent in and his confirma tion was: one of the last acts of the BBB sion. After a brief visit to this city, Gen. Jackson was assigned to the command ot a brigade,",l*hich included his own old regiment,rthe Ninth 'Reserves, and two others. Me served with this command through POpe's disastrous campaign in Virginia and proved himself Cully compe tent to fill ;his advanced station. We have not learned the particulars of his death, but are confident that he was doing his whole duty i`as a soldier, with his com mand, whetile met his fate. Gen. Je6on was, as we have said, a thorough a Soldier, cool, brave and experi• enced and kssessed the fullest confidence of his superior officers, as well as those who servedipnder him. In him we have sustained a eavy loss and many who knew him intimat ely here in his social relations will sadden atithe intelligence of his death, for while t he*as a true soldier he was also a kind, genial, generous and sympathetic man, highlyiresteemel by his friends and acquaintances. He leaves iih interesting family, now re siding in t he Sixth Ward, who will have the sympathil of the community in their sad bereavement. Interesting Decision. In the Cambria county Court, last week the •conductorrof a train on the Pennsyl vania Railroad) was acquitted on a charge of assault an'd battery, brought by one Furley, who lists been put off the train, on refusing to make change fdr his fare. In charging the jity, the Court laid down the important principle that it was not only the duty of the;passenger to provide him self with a ticket before entering the cars, but that it wailis business to maize the change required. Especially was this his duty when he got on the cars without, a ticket; If the' conductor declined, to change his bill,ktd the passenger refused or failed to make the change required, the conduetor had a right to put him off the cars; and if theilpassenger refused to go at ilia command, the conductor had a right to nee such forclas was necessary to axe . cute his ordera.i[ Applying this interpre tation of the fait to the case in hand, whi'e perhaps both parties were to 'blame for dis puting about thel!bill, it was the lawful du-. ty of Turtol conductors, the change demand , ed by the in defualt ot which it was the lawful right of the latter to put the passenger off the cars and to use such force as might kg required to accomplish that purpose. The conductor, therefore, had not done wrong, in the eyes of the law in putting Turleydpff his train. Decision uptin Seal Engraving. The following decision has been made by the•Commissiner of Internal Revenue in relation to seals, stamps and dies.— Where a die-sinker or engraver cuts names or designs tune: seals, stamps or dies brought him by, rtithers, he inantifactsres upthing, but only perfornis labor; and where he finds the seal, stamp or die as well, but cats it fo'r a specific purpose, so that it would be of no special value to any One but the ownes-he is hot, therefore, a manufacturer under the law. But when he makes and sells, or removes for sale, general seals, state is or dies which have a separate commercial name and value of their own, then he r dnust take out a license and pay a mittatax..

The deceased had the upper portion of his head entirely blown off, killing him instantly, . The .-explosion took place in the - nail factory. and so loud was the report that it was distinctly heard at the most distant parts of the town. A portion of the boiler was blown into the river, a distance of about three hundred yards. But few of the workmen fortu- nately, had yet come to their works, or the loss of life would have undoubtedly been much greater. Canal Navigation Suspended. The late cola snap brought navigation:to a close on the canals of the Penn'a Rail mid, on account of the - accumulation of ice. Business is entirely interrupted and little or nothing more will be done until navigation opens in the spring. Many boats are ice-bound at various points along the route, where they will remain all win ter, though-the quperintendent will make an effort to hive the ice broken from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.

Measures are being taken at the Treas ury Department to have the postal cur rency distributed to the postmasters - out the Northwest, and thus speedily brought into a more general circulation.— The difficulty hitherto has been that the requirements to have the postal currency exchanged for Treasury notes at the Tress nry depositories, practically gave the whole circulation to the large cities, to the exclu sion of the rural districts.

We would call the attention of our friends and patrons to the advertisement of Wm.

If any of our friends have been through the tedious operation of braiding children's dresses, they will realize the great relief that awaits them in this inven tion. The braid follows the needle with perfect accnrary, taking any curve desired,; so that the most intricate pattern may be braided with great rapidity. Every lady may ROW possess one of those lovely chiun • bray morning robes, embroidered in vines and labyrinths of white braid, which' have heretofore fallen to the lot only of the most industrious and ingenious. For summer dresses nothing can be more ele gent and becoming. We hail this im provement as a confirming evidence of qa good time coming" for the ladies one and all. And we may as well include the gen tlemen, for there will doubtless be an im mediate harvest of elaborate smoking caps, and velvet slippers, embroidered with gold braid.

The began to disappear at eleven o'clock this morning, affording an unob structed view of our own and the enemy's position. It was evident that the first ridge of hills in the rear of the city on which the enemy had his guns posted, be hind earthworks. could not be carried ex eept by a charge of infantry. General Sumner assigned that duty to French's divisitiO supported by Gen. Howard's. The troops advanced to the works at ten minutes before twelve o'clock at the brisk run. The enemy's guns opened a rapid fire upon them. When within musket range of the base of the ridge, they were I met by a terrible fire from the rebel infant ry, who were posted behind a stone wall and some houses on the right of the line. This checked their advance and they fell back to a small ravine, but not out of mus ket range. At this time another body of troops moved to their valeta:we in splen did style, notwithstanding the gaps made in their ranks by the rebel artillery; when they arrived at the first Hue they advanced on double quick and with command of fixed bayonets, endeavored to dislodge the rebels from their hiding places. A con centrated fire of artillery and infantry which they were forced to face was too much, and the centre gave way in disor der, but rallied and were brought back.— From that time the fire was spirited and never ceased until sometime after dark ness set in this evening. Gen. Franklin, who commanded The at tack on the left: met with better success. He succeeded, after a hard day's fight, in driving the enemy about a mile. At one time the rebels advanced to attack, but were repulsed with terrible slaughter and loss of between four and five hundred prisoners belonging to Gen. A. P. Hill's command. Franklin's movements was directed down the river and his troops encamped to-night not far from Hassan°. tomix creek. Our troops sleep to-night where they fought to day. The dead and wounded were carried from the field of battle to-night. The following is the list of , officers kill ed and wounded, as far as known : Gen. Jackson, of Pennsylvania Re serves, killed ; Gen. Bayard, struck on the thigh by a shell and afterwards died Gen. Vinton wounded in the side but not seriously ; Gen. Gibbons, wounded in the hand ; Gen. Gibbons wounded in the head ; , Gen. Kimball received a wound in the thigh ; Geri. Caldwell, wounded in two places, but not seriously; Col. Sin clair' of :Penna., seriously • wounded ; Capt. Mendrickson, commanding 9th N. Y. Militia wounded seriously. The following is the loss of officers in the sth New Hampshire, which was actively engaged in the fight: Col. Crosse, wound ed in the abdomen; Maj. Sturtevant and Adjutant Dodd killed. The firing of musketry ceased at about six o'clock, but the rebels continued throwing shells into'the city untilff p. m. The position of the rebel forces were as follows; Longstreet was on the 'left, and held the main works of the enemy; Gen. A. P. Hill, and •Gen. Jackson in front of Gen. Franklin with Jackson's right rest ing on the Idippahannock; Gen. D. H. Hill's forces noted as a reserve. Gen. Burnside will renew the battle at .daylight. The troops are in good spirits, and are not in the least disheartened. The losses cannot be estimated at this hour. New Yeitit, Dec. 14 . — The Herald's dis patches, received last night, dated Frede rickeburg; Dec.lB, says : It is ascertained that the rebel force is nearly 800,000 strong. Jackson' commands - the .rebel right, ex tending from Guinsey's statism to Port Royal; Lonptreet has the centre, extend: ing from Guinsey's station to the tel?graph road; Lee'and Stewart are on their left. A" dispatch dated last 'night says that Gen. Franklin's line was moved forward at sunrise, with his right resting on Frede ricksburg,. his Agin% advanced a mile from the river, and his left on the river, three miles below. Skirmishing commenced - daylight on the left, and soon after a rebel battery opened on oar lines, end the 9th New York militia was ordered to charge, but after a great strug gle was conißelled to retire. The remainder of the brigade under Gen. Tyler then charged the enemy's guns, when the fight became general on the ex treme left: Gens. Mead's and Gibbons' divisions encountered the right of Gen. A. P. Hill's command. . - The cannonading was terrific, though our troops suffered but little ft omthe ene• my's artillery. Gradually the fight ex tended round and the right and Gen.

At an early hour, the examination of IGen. McDowell having been concluded, the Court adjourned. Gen. Wilcox, of Michigan, last night telegraphed to a near relative that all was safe and well. The intent of the .paragraph, second of the General Army Order No. 162, the ourrenteeries has in some instances been misunderstood. It is not intended to for bid the payment of the bounty premium and the advance pay to recruits for the old volunteer regiments, namely : those ortran ized prior to July Ist, 1862, or to forbid the payment of bounty premium or ad vance pay to a recruit, volunteer or citi zen who may enlist in the regular army, unless the said recruit has received the said payment before. The object being to avoid paying the same individual twice. The.Commissoner of Internal Revenue has decided that promissory notes, able at bank, are not liable as checks; It has also been decided that the process of uniting the parts of a glass lamp at the foot of the burner, by the use of plaster. Paris cement or other analagous means is not regarded as a manufacture. The de cision will apply to glass inkstand's, with metallic tops, united by the same or a similar process. New I.Mtr, December 13.—A special dispatch from Washington, dated yester day, states that Hampton's rebel cavalry on Friday morning captured Dumfries, cut the telegraph wires, and *tarried off the operators. Later an the day, General Steinwehrs, in command of Sigel's ad vance, atta cked the rebels, and a fight en sued, the result of which was unknown.— The wires have since been repaired. It is the opinion of many of the Generals at Fredericksburg that the .main body of the enemy has retired, and that no determined stand will be made near the city. quality of New atria Just received at. 31 MTH STREET.
