Before Commissioner Sproul.
Thomas Williams was yesterday tried
'dors IT. S. Commissioner Sproul on a
•barge of having harbored a deserter by
he name of Pet 3r Mack. The greater
sortion of the testimony went to show
hat Mack had represented himself as a
lischarged soldier from a New York reg
ment, and-had told Williams that he had
lis discharge papers, bat was anxious to
•o again as a substitute for a drafted man ;
.hat a number of persons were after Mack
'or a substitute, and that in fact he had
promised several, thereby getting his board
and lodging, at several places on the
strength of his, promises. The Commis
sioner decided that the testimony was in
3ufficient to even demand 1341 of Williams,
and he was discharged. Mack was re
manded to the custody of the Provost
fiurrd as a deserter.
German Catholic High School.
We call the attention of the public to
the advertisement in the Post, of the Ger
man Catholialligh School in the Fifth
Ward, 297 Penn street. The character
of the Mariaiement and Professors is
sufficient guarantee that the Institution
will fulfil its promises. We have every
confidence it' will prove.to be a valuable
acquisition to the community, and heartily
reccmir.end it to all who have sons to ed
ucate.
Dangerous Pastime.
Yesterday afternoon, a diunken soldie
wearing the Cavalry nnitorm, whilst be
tween Chatham and Federal streets on
Wylie, fired his revolver five times into
the street, without regard to the men,
women and children on this usually
crowded thoroughfare. Suc coTancr
deserves' the severest puniihment, arid
there should limo mitigation because the
author wears ALIT. S. uniform. Having
been an eye-witness to the performance,
we can fatly appreciate the character of
the rowdy's conduct,
The Steam Engine Trial at Lon
don.
About a week ago we published an ac
cniint of the .great trial of steam fire en
glues in Londuu., We now lay before our
- readers the - decision of the committee in
regard to prizes, and a.ehort description
of the machines. The London Times, of
July 10th, says:
Ibe committee appointed to decide on
the merits of the various steam fire en -1
gines which comp€ted last week in the;
grounds of the Crystal palace, have made
their award of prizes, exactly in the man
ner we expressed our anticipations that
they would be given. To the patent steam i
fire engines by Messrs. Merryweather &
Sons, Long-acre, (large size,) was awarded
the first prize of £250. The boiler of this
engine is made of steel plates, a large'
Ifeating surface being obtained by a quan
tity
of vertical copper tubes, wnich also
set as strong stays ; the upper part of the
boiler or steam chest is fixed in wrought 'I
iron valves for carrying off the smoke and
creating a draft. the outer water jacket
lie also frequently stayed, so as to. make "
it secure for the highest pressures.—
The
internal arrangement of the boiler
is such that a perfect circulation of
water is carried on, and it is fed by ]
Clifford's patent injector. A priz3 of
£lOO was awarded to Messrs. Shand,.
Mason & Co , of Blackfriars-bridge, for
the next best large engine. Both these
engines are especially adapted for large
towns and cities, but the small ones are
what the Committee of the Fire Brigade
think will best suit the greater number of
London fires. Among the small land
steamers the first prize of £250 was ewer
ded)o Messrs: Shand, Mason & Co. The
engine is of the class not exceeding 30 cwt.
It has an upright tabular boiler, so that it
can be easily taken to pieces to have the
tubes repaired when necessary. It can also
be refixed without injury, as it is joined I
by means of flanges, and fixed by bolts I
and nuts, instead of rivets. The steam I
cylinder is 7 inches in diameter, and is I
placed vertically over the pump. This
part of the machine, with the connecting
pieces, is entirely of gun-metal, and con-
sista of a water cylinder, of It inch bore,
with a plunger of 6i inches diameter, the'
whole firmly connected to the boiler. This
engine can be rapidly drawn to a fire by a l
pair of horses, and the working steam
presure can be raised to 160 pounds per
square inch. Both these last named en
gines are provided with means for carry
ing hose and implements, as well as the
firemen to work the engine. The second
£lOO prizs was awarded to Lee's small
engine, of which a fall description has
already appeared. The other competitors,
having failed in the performance of their
engines, received no prize.
Pennsylvania's Manufactories.
Pennsylvania contains ninety-three an•
thracite furnaces, one hundred and fifty
charcoal and coke furnaces, one hundred
and ten r, fining forges, and ninety-one
rolling mills.
Merited Promotion.
Serg A. P. Callow, of the 132 d Regi
ment baa been promoted to the post .o
Adjutant, with the rank of Lieutenant.
The promotion waa for meritorious con
duct. He has been in the service ever
since the hreakin out of the war.
Ready for Camp.
Some thirty or forty substitutes are now
ready and will be im mediately sent into
camp. About fifty have already been
sent. The drafted men have not yet been
sent out.
His Name.
The name of the lad who was drowned
at Hare's Island on Saturday evening was
John Fogle. He was eleven years of age.
ChiWrens' Hearse.
Mr. Jackson, whose livery stable is in
Fourth street, near the Mayor's office,
has introduced an article, the want of
which has been long felt. It is a hearse
for children. Heretofore at the funeral
of a child, the coffin has been carried in
the carriage along with the mourners, which
is objectionable, and in many instances
very disagreeable. The new hearse is a
very handsome piece of workmanship, and
cost a large sum.
The Ladies Magazine for August
John W. Piitock, opposite the Post
office, sends us "Frank Leslie's" Ladies'
Magazine for August. Taking it altogether
this is the beat number of that Magazine
yet issued, the engravings alone being
worth at least double the Price of the book.
For mile at Pittock's—price 25 cents.
The August Magazines.
Mr. H. Miner, Fifth street, sends us the
August number of the Atlantic Monthly.
This is one of the best numbers, ever pub
lished and that is saying a good deal.—
The articles being wri.ten on important
and interesting subjects, will be found
worthy of attention. Price twenty-five
cents a number.
FaANE LESLIE'S Ladies' Magazine for
August is a rich and splendid number,
containing an immense amount of choice
reading, and the richest kinds of Fashion
Plates, besides a full size Pattern of a
small Boys Suit. From a hasty glance,
we should say that this number is worth
at least fifty cents, while it can be pnrehas•
ed for twenty five cents at Miner's.
Sights Afloat.
This is one of Mr. Wilkie Collins' last
productions. It comes 'to us highly rec
ommended by the Eastern Press. Mr.
Collins is a writer of fine ability. The
present effort will no doubt be read with
especial interest by his many admirers.—
The price at Miner's is twenty five cents
per copy.

Great Improvement on Sight.
. _
RUSSIAN PEBBLE
Just received, an entire new supply of
the widely known RUSSIAN PEBBLES.
Since their introduction, I have given the
fullest satisfaction to a large number whose
eyesight was such as to render artificial
appliances necessary, and Have fully es
tablished the superiority of the "Pebble"
over all other kinds of glasses. If any
whose failing sight renders the use of
glasses necessary will give me a call, I
will endeavor to convince them of the ad
vantages to be gained by using the Rus
sian Pebble, and will show in what man
ner it is superior to any other now in use.

European Agency.
The establishment of agencies for the
more popular lines of . European steamers
in Western cities, is a movement that gives
to the traveler the ad vantagb of procuring
his ticket at home, of a person well known
in the community in which he lives. Such
a one is Mr. Thomas Rettigan, agent for
the steamship Great Eastern, whose office
is in the Monongahela House, No. 122.
The Great Eastern is now• *town to be
the swiftest, safest, and most comfortable
vessel afloat. She will - leave New York, '
on her next trip, on Wednesday, the 21st
day of September. Aside from other ad-
. -
vantages to be derived from buying your
ticket here, Mr. Rattigan will take great
pleasure in giving any and all information
so necessary to those contemplating a
voyage across the Atlantic. He has been
engaged in the business for a great many
years; is a man of thorough probity, and
is agent only for the safest and most relia
ble lines of steamers. Parties who may
desire to send for their friends in the old
country, or to procure a passage from this,
could not do better than to place their
business in Mr. Rattigan's hands, and it
will be promptly and correctly a; tended
to. He has done a great deal of this kind
of business, and has always given the most
complete satisfaction, and his facilities are
such that in no case can disappointment
ensue.

MPORTANT NEWS FROM MEN-
From Fortress Monroe
WASHINGTON, .1 uly 27 —A dvices row
the army of the Potomac, say that a large
number of horses have be an found in the
mountain Gorges, and appropriated by our
troops.
Our cavalry held the lino of the Rappa
hannock on Saturday, between Kelly's
Ford and Waterloo.
The Star says, on Thursday last while
the third and fifth army corps of General
Meade's army were lying at the mouth of
Manassas Gap, on this side, information
was received that General Longstreet was
sending a brigade of his corps forward.
in order to possess himself of the Gap.
Gen. Spinola commanding the Excelsior
brigade with 1300 men,were at once ordered
forward. The Commanding General sup
posed the rebels were only in small force
onquid behind the crest of a hill, about
one mile from the Gap, between it and
Front Royal, and therefore supposed this
brigade was sufficient to dislodge the
prvr4E4
enemy.
About a quarter of a mile from the crest
of the hill was a stone wall. and behind
this there WAS a small rebel force. Gen.
Spinola at once took an observation of the
ground, and after pointing out to hi-, regi
mental commanders the work they would
have to perfJrin, he ordered his gallant
brigade forward, and with fired bayonets
they rushed forward, when the rebels
quickly fled 'rout the hill and took refuge
behind the stone wall. Up to this
the brigade rushed,also from behind rushee
a whole brigade of Georgians and two reg
intents of North Carolina sharpshooters,
all under command of General Anderson
but our troops heeded them not, and amid
a shower of rifle bullets and artillery fire
in the front and the flank pushed forward,
and with the bayonet, drove the rebels
from their protection, and sr ntthem scam
perihg over the field.
The rebel lots was not less than "tat
killed, wounded and missing. We had no
artillery, while the rebels had at least 17
pieces.
That night our soldiers bivouacked on
the battle ground, and the next morning
marched into Front Royal. In this fight,
it is the opinion of military men, that the
rebels outnumbered us at least six to one,
bat they appeared to be completely fagged
ont, and after being dislodged from the
stone wall they could not move up a hill
on their way in au upright position, but
crawled on their hauls and knees, thus
giving our men an opportunity of pouring
iu an effective fire, of which they eageriy
availed themselves.
Iu this fight Gen. Spinoki received two
very severe wounds, one in the right foot.
which tore open the heel for two or three
inches, and one through the deehy part of
the right side.
Minims, July 26.—Biffles and Jesse
Forest are reported to have again crossed
Tennessee river and gone towards Jack
son, Tenn. Gen. Dodge has sent a force
to meet them One of flurlbut's scouts
arrived last night, reports Pemberton
and staff and some of his officers gone to
Richmond, his army has scattered in ev
ery direction; Pemberton said it was im
possible to keep thein together. The reb
els are Dressing everybody into their
ranks. Excitement intense ; rolling stock
on railroads is all being run toward Mo
bile, large quantities of cotton going in
the same; direction. The bulk of John•
ston's army is reported at Martin, 30
miles east of Jackson, his torte is estima
ted at 30,000, All surplus stores are be
ing shipped to Mobile. Generals Hardee
and Forrest passed through Meredian on
the 18-1, going to Johnston. Forreit
was suffering from a wound and not fit for
duty.
WASHINGTON. July 27.—The following
dispatch was received to-day from the
Flag steamer Dinsmore, off Morris' Is
land, dated 21st inst.
To Hon. Gideon Welles—Sir: I have the
honor to inform the Department that on
the night of the 19th inst. a large side
wheel steamer while trying to run into
Charleston was chased by the Canandaigua
and o , her outside blockaders, and finally
headed off, and was driven upon the
shoals by Commander Geo. W. Powers,
of the Catskill, then anciored abreast of
Fort Wagner on picket duty.
The steamer was fired by her crew, and
is now a total wreck. The chances of sue.
cess to such enterprises are materially
lessened by our occupation of the main
ship channel.
NEw YORK, July 27.—Mayor Opdylie
to-day vetoed the ordinance passed last
week, to pay conscripts $3OO,- on the
ground of vagueness and illegality; other
objections are also urged. Be holds that
the Common Council has had time since
last March to remedy any supposed in
equalities of the draft, but that they did
not do anything until this ordinance was
passed, thus appearing as a-propitiatory
measure to appease the mob.
NEW YORE, July 27 —The Bth regiment
of regular infantry and the sth regular bat
tery, moved their quarters today from
City Hall Park to the Battery, where they
will keep prepared for the mobites of this
city.

was immediately made public, and a' cou
rier posted to Vera Cruz, whence it was
sent ny a French steamer to Havana.
The British Consul at Havana has fur

A large fire occurred. at, St. Domingo

Tee following Fip •culationa respecting
ee'a plane are interesting at this time
Chc wrier i 3 nn o!Li army c [Hoer
To the Editor of The World :
It is not easy, certainly, to see into Gen.
Lee's plane at ' , resent, but we can guess
at them. By this time it is plain to us
that he is in no hurry to get round to his
old line of defense. If he was he could
have been out of the Shenandoah Valley
some deori ago. Now, what does he mean
to do Doei it occur to us that he may
mean I,i reeross the Potomac in case he
can throw our army cif and send it in full
trot toward the rebel capital, with the view
of cutting oil his litre of retreat? That is
possiblo. II ciao tat d his :Lrmy fur
slain time with the cattle, &c , taken in
his tale inovement, end therefore is not
very anxious about his base of supply.
His army was not demoralized by the de
feat at Gettysburg, and therefore still has
enough spirit to try the move upon our
capital again. Lastly, it is to be consid
ered that he had enough reserve ammuni
tion stored about Winchester to replace
the late heavy expenditure of it. All this
leads me to think he may have such a plan
in hie head to recross the Potomac.
I may add, that it is possible be is di
reefed by Davis to stay as lung as he can
in the valley, iu order to menace Mary
land, and produce a gocid moral effect on
their cause. Their reverses have of late
been so great, that, unless Lee can show
his army to be iu a position to retrieve
their loiees, all will be up with them. Be
sides, if Lee falls back to his old lines,
Great Britain will stop short in her step to
recognize the South. It is in view of this
that the great heads of the rebellion wish
to hold their darling army in its posture of
offense, and direct its chief to outwit the
Union general, and save the cause of his
failing country. A force may be sent Lee
from the Southwest, though it can ill be
spared there, to enable him to strike at
the heart of our country, and, with this
last effort, "do or die." It will be well
for our generals to keep this possible move
in view, and to be ready to ipeet it. They
have a most wary general to cope with, as
they by this time well know, and the only
way to meet hie moves is to keep them
well in view—not to let him, by the cover
ed nature of ground, or, by means of his
dashing cavalry. mask hie strategy.

Repulse on Morris Island -.Con.
(talon of Lee's Army—Rattle
Expeeted—Capture of a Large
Rebel Train.
WASHINGTON, July 25.
The prevalent rumor of a repulse of the
Federal army on Morris Island, Charles
ton, is not confirmed by any intelligence
yet received at the War Department or
Navy. The latest information received is,
that fighting was still in progress.
Lee's army is in a critical situation and
must fight. It is stretched from Stras
burg to Winchester, and kept together as
well as possible, evidently expecting an
attack. Meade is closely watching his
movements, and is fully prepared for any
emergency, A great battle can not belong
deferred, when it will be decisively fought.
Meade is fully aware of all the reinforce
ments received by Lee, and knowshis ovan
strength. He will not ba afraid to fight
when the proper time comes.
Our advance cavalry yesterday captured
a large train of the enemy's. between
Front Royal and Strasburg, the train con
plating of wagons loaded with surplus BEM.
plies, seeking an escape from the valley
also a large amount of Pennsylvania plun
der, horste, cattle. &c. Our cavtury is
constantly picking up deserters and strag
glers from the rebel army, who represent
a fearful alarm existing in their lines.—
The army is terribly demoralized and in ,
no condition to fight. Our men are in
good spirits and have great confidence in
Meade, who is determined to make a finish
of the rebels this time, if opportunity is
offered.
The Richmond Whig, of the 23rd, has
the following
The South Carolina State troops are,
by order of the Governor of that State,
to remain at Columbia and Florence for
the present, the force at Charleston being
deemed sufficient to prevent an advance
of the enemy
The South Carolinian learns that
`while there is rtineh anxiety, there is an
abiding confidence that our valued old
city will be successfully defended against
the abolition invaders.' Richmond pa
per states that • the last of several gun
boats which have been prowling about
James River for a week past, reached
Newport News, in the vicinity of Fortress
Monroe, on Monday evening last. What
they have accomphshed in James River,
we are at a loss to discover, unless it was
the capture of a tort."
There is nothing particularly now from
the A rmy of the Potomac to day. Our
ad vices are that Lee is attempting to break
through some of the passes of the Blue
Ridge, but has been met and repulsed at
Chester and Thornton's Gap. Rumors to
the effect that he is attempting to reenter
Maryland are circulated by secession sym:
pathizers. but are utterly unworthy of
credit. There is information here, be
lieved perfectly reliable, that Lee is try
ing to get back to the vicinity of Richmond,
but R 61760113 at the same time to preserve
the supplies he obtained in Maryland and
the Shenandoah Palley.
