Pleasure Trips.
During these-hot days, nothing can be
more pleasant than to escape from the
heated and dusty confines of the city, and
ruralfze, if for only half a day, among the
beatitiful shaded hills and sequestered
vales that lend such a charm to Pennsyl
vania scenery. It costa but little, and the
influence, both mentally and bodily, that
it has over the system, more than repays
for any little outlay of money or time that
it may cost.
We were fully impressed with the truth
of these remarks during a short
,trip to
Economy, on Thursday. 'Leaving here in
the Accommodation train, we passed rap
idly Woods' Tun, Courtney's, and Dix
moot, blooming amid a perfect wilderness
of ahrubbery and flowers, and drew up at
Killbuck station, where, just below the
road in a beautiful, romantic looking grove,
fifty couples were tripping the fascinating
polka, while a band of music, stationed be
neath the shade of a large tree, kept time
to their merry footsteps. Hidden beneath
the bushes were baskets carefully covered
with white napkins, the contents of which
we could only guess at, but think we are
safe in saying that occasionally the afore
said couples would have a bone to pick
with each other. Below Killbuck is Hays
vine station, with its hotel and water-cure
establishment, surrounded by gardens,
with a fish-pond in the front, from which
a fountain throws a continuous jet of wa
ter. The visitors seated in the shaded
porch looked like anything else but inva
lids, and we wanted to stop right there,
but when can a reporter ever p ? Does
not the good book ° Eay there sto is no rest
for the wicked? So, as the train moved
off, we moved off with it, and were soon
dashing past beautiful country places and
picturesque mansions, conspicuous among
which we noticed the handsome residence
being finished for Geo. W. Cass, Eq.,
President of the P. F. W. & C. E. R.
Passing Osborn station, Sewickley, Edge
worth, and lieetedale, at any of which
places a person could spend a pleasant
month or two in the summer time, we ar
rived at the quaint old town of Economy,
with its quiet, industrious, frugal people,
its strange institutions, and its magnifi
cent gardens. Everything is kept in the
neatest order, each man was at his work,
and no one appeared any better off than
his neighbor. Our curiosity led us to in
quire the price of board at the hotel, for
families, and we were informed that all
the rooms except two in the house
were taken, and that those two were
kept for transient custom, and that board
ing was four dol'ars a week for each
person. We visited the garden of Mr.
Barker, the head man of the society, and
found everything in the u3atest order. In
the centre was a fish pond, from out of
which a fountain played ; beds cf straw
berries hanging full of lacious fruit, flow
ers of infinite variety, fruit trees of all
kinds, and everything that was calculated
to please t,he eye, or gratify the palate,
was scattered around in the greatest pro
fusion. Wo left the garden well pleased
with every thing in it, and more especially
with a bunch of flowe!s nearly as large as
a half bushel basket 'bat we carried out of
it, and which WEI a the envy of every one
who saw them from E.onomy to Pitts
burgh. Some envious creatures did in
deed endeavour to emulate ourta.ste, and
procured small ten cent bcquets, or buck
ets as the French would say, but it was
no go, it was like comparing a China As
ter to a full blown japonica. We return•
ed to this city at seven o'clock, p. m., a
wiser, if not a better man, and having
gained our knowledge by experience, ad
vise other.) to go and do likewise.
Coroner's 'lnquests.
Yesterday Coroner McClung was called
upon to hold an inquest upon the body of
Cleo. Myers, a brakesman on the Penusyt
vania Central Railroad, who was killed
yesterday morning by being run over by
the cars at the tunnel twenty, five miles
from the city. The wheels passed entirely
over him, nearly severing his right arm,
and his head from his body, and crushing
his breast in a frightful manner. There
were no other bruises upon him. Re re
sided in the Ninth ward, was twenty-nine
years of age, and was married, but had no
children. The jury returned a verdict in
accordance with the facts.
The other inquest was held upon the
body of a colored woman, seventy-eight
years of age, named Catherine McCarty,
who died in the house of Catherine Traney
or Tracey, yesterday morning about seven
o'clock. She had been living in Spring
alley, and was turned out of her house
night before last by her landlord, a man
by the name of Roberts, when she went
to the house where she died. The house I
was one of a row on Mulberry alley, off of
Mechanics street in the rear of Lamb's
Hotel, which is situated on the corner of
Mechanic and Penn streets. Yesterday
morning the inmates heard her vomiting,
and upon going to her, she asked to' be
turned over, which having been done she
immediately expired. The verdict of the
jury was "died from natural causes,"
tan►pede of Government
Horses.
Day before yesterday the horses belong.
ing to the Government broke from the en
closure at the Fair grounds and dhshed off
in every direction. It was reported that
three children were run over, and that two
were killed, but after dilligent search we
could not learn of any one being killed,
although there is no doubt but that a
couple of children were run over. A '
young man was yesterday arrested near
the Point for stoning a house and break
ing windows, and while on trial a charge
was made against him for riding one of the
horses and running Over a child. This is
about all we could learn of the matter.

Captain Ili'ashington
A private letter, detailing operations
before Vicksburg, states thal, in the recent
assault on the enemy's works, Captain
Washington, commanding a battalion of
the 13th Regulars, was mortally wounded,
having been shot through the breast.--
Some thought he was taken prisoner by
the enemy, and might perhaps beyet alive,
but the prevalent opinion is that he was
killed. Captain Washington was a son of
the late Heade Washington, Esq., of this
city, and a brother-in-law of J. H. Bailey,
Esq., Clerk of the United States District
Court.
• Hrs. Culbertson.
The trial of Mrs. Culbertson for the
murder of her husband, commenced at
Zanesville on the 3d of this month. Mr.
Culbertson died over one year ago under
very suspicious circumstances, and about
two months ago his remains were disin
terred, and the stomach taken to Colum
bus, when it was found to contain a con•
siderable quantity of arsenic. She was
wrested, together with a man who was
suspected of being an accomplice, and is
now being tried.
Envelopes.
As everything to eat, drink or wear, has
advanced more or leas under the new tax
law, so has paper, and everything made
from paper, including, of course, enve
lopes. To those who have a large corres
pondence this is a matter of somaimpor
tance, and we would suggest that the
remedy lies in buying them wholesale, in
such quantities as will bring the rice
&Own to the old figure by the box. Henry
Miner, Fifth Street, has a fall supply of all
sorts, sizes an•qualie which he will
sell at a small d advanc tf e. s,
He has them

-We are pleased to note that- an active

17, J. B. Barbour, 3, M. gimp, and
E. J. Siebert. This committee met, and
after a fall interchange -of opinions decid
ed upon recommending the organization
referred to in the following address.--
Everything is now in trim for% thorough
military organization of the county, and
if the weakness so long deplored is Suf.
fered to exist hereafter, the fault will he
at the door of the people theitselves, who
have failed to respond. The address[ of
the committee is as follows: [ ,
The Defence.
To the Citizen.? of Allegheny -County,-
The present condition of, the rebel govern.
ment satisfies us that some desperate move
ment, such as an invasion,%owever tem
porary, of the loyal States, will be resort
ed to by them, to revive the drooping
spirits of their supporters. It is unneces
sary, as it would be imptudent to state the
many reasons for believing that a raid may
be projected, selecting Pitteburgh and its,
nem' hhorhood as the section tb be rava
ged.
[ The best mode of preventing attack, 1
is to be at all times thoroughly prepared
for defence. It is enough that we are suf
ficiently strong to capture the enemy,
after they have done ne incalculable dam
age, we must be strong enough to pre
vent them accomplishing the injury we are
satiafield they meditate; and this can only
be through immediate and thorough organ
ization.
To this committee the county committee
of Public Safety have entrusted the organ•
ization of forces far Home Defence; but
we are powerleits, unless aided by the ac
tive and immediate co-operation of the
large loyal population around us.
After an interchange of views upon the
subject we have unanimously concluded
to urge upon our fellow citizens the imme•
diate organization of
Five additional Regiments of Infantry,
Tuelve Companies of Cavalry, and
Four Six Gun Batteries.
(in addition to existing organizations, and
without interfering therewith,) to be at all
times in readiness for service for the de
fence of Pittsburgh and Southwestern
Pennsylvania, against any inroad of the
enemy. •To effect this, at once, (and that
we may also know our strength,) those
organizations already in existence are re
quested to report at once in writing their
location,
present condition as to arms and
strength, with names of officers, to the
chairman of this committee.
In each ward, borough and township in
the county, the citizens oh earnestly
urged to organize forthwith at least one
company, for Home Defence, and make
immediate report as above, giving the ad
dress of the commanding officer.
In effecting these organizations we can
not too strongly urge upon them the exer
cise of proper judgment in the selection of
energetic and capable officers of conics-
!lies. When a sufficient number of efficient [
contiguous companies are formed, regi
mental organizations will be effected.
Officers and soldiers who have already
seen service may do much towards putting
our community in a proper state of de
fence, and we cannot too strongly appeal
to the patriotism they have already dis
played, in urging them to aid in every way
in the object we have desired to attain.
When the company organizations re
commended have been effected, instruc
tions and information witl be in readiness
for their commanding officers.

Who Reads all the Rooks?
In these exciting limes when so many
of our people are engaged in the defence
of our country, necessarily absorbing the
rest more deeply in business pursuits, it
might naturally be supposed that fewer
books would be read, but such is not the
case. We saw at the periodical depot of
Henry Miner, Filth street, a day or two
since an invoice of late publications as it
might be presumed would supply our read
ing public for six months, but it was mere
ly their weekly supply, exclusive of other
lots daily arriving. This convinces us
that even now our great public find as
much time to write as ever before.

The prospect for a - great supply of fruit
in the neighborhood of Wheeling was never
fairer than, at present. Thus far there has
been no harm done by the frost; and ber - -
ries, apples, peaches, and other fruits of
this latitude promise an abundant crop.
The only exception is perhaps in those ap
ple orchards which bore overabundant
last year, and where, in consequence t the
Yield of this preiient season wilt be consid •
erably reduced ; still, the prospect is good
for a fair supply, even in such localities,

Wesniserox, June s.—The following
detailed report of the sinking of the gun
boat Cincinnati, has been received at the
Navy Department:
Mississippi Squadron, Flag Ship Bleck
Hawk, above Vicksburg, May 27th—Sir :
In obedience to your orders, th 9 Cincin
nati got under way this morning at 7
o'clock, and steamed slowly down until a
little abreast of where the mortars lay,
when we rounded to. The enemy fired
several shots from a gun called Whistling
Dick, but soon gave it up. At half-past I
8, with a full head of steam, we stood fort
theposition assigned us. The enemy fired)
rapidly, and from all their batteries. When
abreast of our position and rounding to, a'
ball entered the Magazine and she com
menced sinking rapidly. Shortly after,
the starboard tiller was carried away, and
after this the enemy fired with great accu•
racy, bitting us nearly every time. We
were especially annoyed by plunging shots
from Ole hills, an eight inch rifle and a
ten-inch smooth bore'doing us much dam
age. The shots went entirely through our
piotection of hay and wood ; and now
finding that the vessel cyanid sink, I ran
her right up the stream, and as near the
right hand shore as our damaged steering
apparatus would permit.
About ten minutes before she sunk we
ran close in and got our plank out and put
the wounded ashore. We also got a haws
er out to make fast to hold her until she
sunk, but unfortunately the men ashore
at the hawser left it without making it fast.
The enemy still firing,Alte boat etitniiienc•
ed drifting out, and I sang out to the men
.to swim ashore. Thinking we were in
deeper water, as was reported, than we
really were, I suppose about fifteen were
drowned and about twenty-five killed and
wounded, and one probably taken prison.
er. This will sum up our whole loss. The
boat sunk in about three fathoms water.
She heti within range of the enemy's bat-.
teries. The vessel went down with her
colors nailed to the mast, or rather the
stump of one, all three having been shot
away. Our fire until the magazine was
drowned was good. and I, am satisfied
did damage. We only fired at a tiro 'gulf
battery.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

Transatlantic Telegraphs.
Mr. Cyrus W. Field left for Europe on
Wednesday to complete the arrangements
or a telegraph across the North Atlantic
via Queenstown and Newfoundland. Sig
nor Arturo de Marcoartu, chief engineer
of the Spanish corps, is now in the city
preparing to undertake to lay a telegraphic
cable ikcrosa the Southern Atlantic from
Cape St. Vincent to Cape St. Rogue. The
latter gentleman, has published a very
in
teresting pamphlet, in which he fully and
clearly explains the enterprise in which he
is engaged, and demonstrates its feasibility
and the certainty thatit will be amply re
munerative,
~. _ .
I : About thia last point, however, there
can be no question. Competition is the
soul of business in transoceanic telegraph
lines as in everything else. We are in fa
vor of having as many cables laid as pos
sible, so that if one breaks or is obstructed
another may beravailable, and so that no
monopoly may dictate exorbitant terms
for the transmission of messages. In his
pamphlet Signor de Marroartn gives a
brief, impartial and intelligent account of
the various atibmarine telegraphs now in
actual operation, and from their success he
deducea the conclusion that the lines in
contemplation will be Successful also. Of
this, as we have said before, we have not
the slightest doubt. The Signor claims
for- the route which he has selected the
important advantages that it crosses the
distance between Europe and America is
least r and that , it paaaes "by many impor
tant talands'and by various capes and banks
favorably situated for the subdivision of
the length of the line into short Bectiona-7.-
shorter, indeed, than many of the lines al
ready established between other points."
We desire to call the attention of those in
terested fn the subject to Signor litarcosr
tn's enterpriee,and eocomotend his pain*
let to their considerationi—ltr. P. Herld.
