WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 20 CITY .AND NEllinOnOOD INTELLIOBNO L• `rands at the Ballot-Box. On kfoiday morning Judge Allison, of ; - :/iiiladelphia, having refused a new trial, `proceeded to pass sentence upon Wtq. • -Force, James Torbert, and Fred. R. Oa ierhault, recently convicted of having wil fully-made, signed and delivered to Isaac —.Leech a false and fraudulent certificate of election as`Common Councilman of the twenty-fourth Ward. Thos. Lodge, one of the defendants, was too ill with con -• -gumption to appear in court. The Judge having made remarks upon the daring violatidn of the law, and the consequences resulting from it, adminis tering at the same time a stern rebuke, ;said : '"The law regards your crime as most infamous; it affixes to it the penalty of a - -disability on your part, to hold any office of honor, trust or profit in this Common wealth, for the period of seven years. and takes from you for the same period, the power of exercising -the elective franchise. This is no more than just, for crimes of this character must cease, or, as a conse quence, violence will take the place of the peaceful operations of law. It is to be hoped that this will be the last case of the kind in which it will be ne cessary to impose a punishment for a cause like that for which you stand con victed. The sentence of the court is that each o you pay a fine of $2O, that you pay the costs of prosecution, and that you under •go anitoprisonment of six months in the • County Prison."

Mrs. Schenck, widow of Geo. Schenck, residing an Third street, was seriously, if not fatally injured on Saturday evening tinder the following circumstances. At a Tate hour she was proceeding to the cellar for the purpose of banging up a ham, re marking to one of her daughters that she would go to her room as soon as she had disposed of it. She had two daughters re siding with her, both of whom are married, and - not hearing their mother come tip stairs they became alarmed, and proceed ed to the cellar, where they found - her ly ing in a pool of blood, with a serious cut on the head, and insensible.

Captain Wright, Provost Marshal, has arrested part of a party of eight men, who on Monday last deserted from Colonel Schoonmaker'sl4th Pennsylvania cavalry. A. battalion, among whom were these men, were stationed on the line of the Balti more and Ohio railroad, near Webster to protect the line, and these men wishing to pay a visit to their friends left their company and came on to Pittsburgh, leav ing their horses and equipments some die tance out of town. One of them is a mi nor, and-his friends will make an applica tion to Judge McCandless for a discharge by means of a writ of habeas corpus.— Some of the horses have been recoiered, anpi the whole party will doubtless be ar rested. Since writing the above we have heard the following facts: Four of the men charged with being deserters obtained leave of absence from their field officers. According to the rules of the army this would not be allowable, as all furloughs must be'obtained from the Division Gen• eral. This,lowever, they did not know, ant:Pt - heir arriving home upon such a fur lough is entitled French leave. The other four are deserters to all intents and pur poses', although they intended to return ,with the remainder of the squad when it ,returned. One of their number, Bugh 'Smith,' was discharged from service by Judge McCandless yesterday morning, upon a writ of habeas corpus, it having been shown that he was a minor when he enlisted, although he is now twenty years of age, and qnite a large man. Up to last night all of the horses had been brought in but two, and five of the squad were in, fonttof whom were released on their par ole to appear this morning at 10 o'clock dt the Provost Marshal' a office. One of the others was heard of being in a tavern in Birmingham drunk, and a couple of the guard were detailed to bring him in, which was undoubtedly done. The remainin two are in the country. but will be brought g in to-day. Refinery Burned. The oil refinery of Messrs. Smith & Adams, situated on the Wash. McClintock farm, Oil Creek, was destroyed by fire on Monday last, together with a' quantity of refined and crude oil. The fire orig ted in the crude oil-t tnk.

This beautiful play . was presented for the first time last night at the Theatre. There have been several imitations of the piece played in different theatres through out the states, but the true version is now being produced tor the first time. It is dramatised from Miss. Braddon's popular novel of the same name, and was origi nally produced on the London stage. Mrs. Henderson, during her recent European tour, was fortunate enough to sepure the' original play, the only correct English copy that has been produced in this COUtl• try. The entire play is a succession of startling tableaux, and effective passages, I showing to what extent a wronged woman can indulge in those opposites, love and hate, at the same - time. The character of Aurora was admirably presented by An nie Eberle, being handsomely supported by the company. It will be produced again to-night, when it will give way to several other novelties which are in active preparation. A new piece entitled Or ange Blossoms, also brought out by Mrs. Henderson, is in rehearsal and will short ly be produced. Aosecrans Campaign.

A short distance from McKeesport they met Mr. Alex. McClure, and on the public highway, in broad daylight, and where they were in danger of meeting passers by at anymoment, the 7 demanded his pocket book,threatening Ins life incase ot a refusal. He reluctantly gaveit to them; they abstracted therefrom the money it contained, amounting to about $23. and some valuable papers, and lefe. They then came to Pittsburgh on horseback, arriving here on Tuesday, and went to Allegheny, where they took the cars for Wheeling. Mr. McClure followed them to this place, but arrived too late for their arrest. Their subsequent movements, in cluding the robbery of a learned Judge of Washington county, and their swearing him not to give information for one week thereafter, and their arrest is well known. They robbed eleven persons the day they vere arrested. Patents.

NO. 79 FEDERAL ST., A Foreign View of Loyal Leagues. :Thy truth of the CI-italic statement, 'that it is sometimes good and wholesome to learn of an enemy, is illustrated in the following comments of the New York correspondent of the London Times, on the Union Square Loyal League meeting, which he describes in the columns of that journal': • ' If the pains and interests engendered and fostered by this cruel and illogical war had not blinded the eyes of Ameri cans to the dangers to which their liber ties are exposed by its continuance, they might have seen by the multiplicity of, lumbers and'placards bearing the 'words, "Unconditional Loyalty," how low they have fallen from their once high estate.— That a free people, justly jealous of their liberty, should allow such banners to be flaunted is their faces without indignantly tearing them down, or thpt, they Should accept the' doctrine ,cf '"Unconditional liberty" without scornful repudiation of the political slavery and degradation im— plied, shows how much real freedom and independence of mind the war has already destroyed. Undenditional loyally is mote than the Russians give to their Czar, o r the Turks to their Sultan, and has never yielded to King or Government by any peo plespeaking'the _English language since the days or Henry I 111. Is it not strange as well as humiliating that such a doctrine should first be heard of in the English 'language in a republic formed by English. men ? And should it not learn modern Americans to inquire whether it really had its origin among men of British blood and lineage, or whether it is.,due to the Celtic, Teutonic or other alien races that have adopted the English language without adopting the English liberty of thought that could accompany it? What, ever may be the reason, it is not credit able that a doctrine so long ago buried and forgotten in civilized Europe should be exhumed in Arnericannder the leader ship of fanatics upon the one hand, and of selfish treders making unholy fortunes out of the war, upon the other. The fact remains, however, that the liberty of the Americans is rapidly slipping out of their grasp; and while they avow a sentiment so slavish, not to a King, or Emperor, claiming to rule by Divine tight, but to a fetish of their own making, such as Mr. Lincoln, it is scarcely surprising that mili• tary men should be ready to take them at their 'word, and to prepare means for their final subjugation and reduction to that state of thraldom to which they would if possible, subject their brothers of the South. Friends' Yearly Meetieg. The yearly. meeting of the Society o Friends, in Philadelphia, closed on Fri day last. The meeting was atteLded by members from the country and by a rep resentative of nearly a dozen Qoartcrly Meetings scattered throughout the States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. An unusually large number of .ministers be longing -to meetings of other States, were also present, among whom were Samuel Janney, of Loudon county, Va., Rachael Hicks and Richard Cromwell of New York, and Aaron and Ann Packer, of Ohio. Cotton Speculation. The editor of the Nashville Union saw a few days since the balance•sheeL ol a transaction in cotton, covering four hun dred and two bales. The net profits amounted to more than flirty thousand dollars. CAL; I'ORNIA is remarkable for the great size and antiquity of some of its trees, as well as for its gold. The "red.wood" trees in Calaveras county are the largest known in the world. A correspondent sends us a block of wood from'one of these trees, and says : "The tree of which this block once formed a part, was rathr r more than thirty feet in diameter; but, for convenience of reckoning. I estimate the diameter at precisely 30 feet ; and I have counted rings to the inch. Now, by multiplying the rings per inch by half the diameter, I ascertain the age of that tree to have been 6,300 years. This leaves the saplings of our ancient fr iends, Nebuchad- nezzar and Socrates,. standing 'out in the cold,' and carries the mind hack to a period long before Eve ate stolen fruit and Adam instituted the tailors' trade, by stitching fig leaves into aprons for 'self and spouse.' The enclosed specimen block is genuine." Osn of the numerous ambassadors as sembled at the French Court, having lately had occasion to be honored with a tete-a tete by the Emperor, discovered, in the Imperial conversation, such inexhaus tible mines of learning, that, unable to resist expressing his surprise and admira tion, he pleasantly demanded at what school he had passed his studies. "At the best of all schools—that of the Uni• versity of Ham," was the half serious, half facetious reply. Another Jackson Raid.

While in command at Winchester, he look a prominent part in revivals, and habitually led the "Union prayer meeting." A Ben. vent of his, captured not long ago, says that before entering upon an engagement, hia master. always retired to his quarters to pray. Nor was he devoid of generosi ty There is a story that when the Bur geon of one of the Indiana regiments and two of his brother officers were captured by a party of Ashby's cavalry and taken before Jackson, he said: "It was you, gentleman, who lately saved the property of a dear friend of mine in the v 'Hey from the fury of your own men. I thank you. Have nif any means of transportation back to your regiment ?" "We have not. General. ' He then gave them horses, an escort, and one hundred dollars, and he dismissed them on their parole. The following personal description of Jackson recently appeared in the columns of the Savannah (Georgia) News: "Imagine a man about five feet ten inch es high, rather thick -set, full chest, broad, stalwart shoulders, and, indeed, the whole physique indicating what is commonly called a well made man. He is the pic ture of health, though there is no redun dancy of flesh. His face is slightly bronzed from the constant exposure of his campaign's. His appearance at first impresses you with the idea of great powers of endurance. The expres sion of his face adds too, rather than di minishes the Effect. There you see self. command, perseverance and indomitable will, without the least admixture of vanity. His foiehead is broad and prominent; eyes expressing a singular union of mildness, energy and concentration ; cheek and nose both long and well formed. His dress is a common gray suit of faded cassimere, the coat slightly braided on the sleeve. just enough to be perceptible, the collar displaying the rank of a IdejorZen• eral." Another writer says : "He often walks with his head some what on one side, his eyes fixed upon the ground, imparting to his whole appear ance that abstracted quality which young ladies describe as 'absent-minded ' A lady who had known him long and well has told me that she never saw him on horseback without laughing—short stir rups, knees cramped up, heels stuck out behind, and chin on his breast—a most LID military phenomenon. In society he is quiet, but cheerful; not loquacious, but intelligent and shrewd; in religion, a strict Presbyterian, and extremely strict in his church observances." Sale of the Hancock Mansion, Boston. Another of the most iatereating land marks of our local revolutionary history is about to be removed. Oa Saturday last the negotiations that have been pend • ing for some months for the purchase of the Hancock afansion House and estate on Beacon street, Boston, were brought to a close, and the property now belongs to James M. Beebe and Gardner Brewer, Esqs., who will proceed immediately to erect two first-class dwelling-house s on their new purchase. The demolition of this relic of the past, and of some of its proudest historical aesociatioas,caunot fail to cause regret in many minds. .13ut it will perhaps, modify this regret if,as reported, the matsrial of the old dwelling, which is as substantial and gocd as when put together by Thomas Hancock, uncle of Governor John Hancock, in the year 1737, one hun dred and twenty six years ago. will be set up again in some suburban spot which has interesting associatien with the revolution ary periop which closed the last centnry.
