Persons wishing to send a good, reliable, readable paper to their friends in the country or army, are invited to look at the Pott. Drowned. On Wednesday two men by the names of William Beck and Hugh McClnre were drowned near Tarentum under the follow ing circumstances : They were engaged in towing np a barge loaded with empty oil barrels, and in endeavoring to cross the river at Natrona they got too high np, and soon the men and horses were floun dering in deep water. The weight of the boat upon the line kept the horses from obtaining a footing or from swimming out, and men and horses were drowned. Both of the men were married, and lived near the Johnstown Station, on the Allegheny Valley Railroad. Dogs. We have been requested by n gentle man whose friendship we valuo, not to say any thing more about dogs running loose, as he has a valuable dog that has an inde pendent way of its own, and he does not want it killed. Of coarse we shall say nothing about dogs on his account. The dogs may go mad, and bite somebody, and that somebody may bite others, and thon die of hydraphobia, but we shall say noth ing about it. It would be highly unwrong, and shouldn’t orter be did. Teachers’ Salaries lu Alle gheny. The Allegheny Board of Control have fixed the following scale oi salaries for the teachers of that city for tbe ensuing year : Principals, $BOO ; Assistants, $875 ; Prin cipal Grammar Department, $360 ; Assis tants Grammar Department, $300; Medi um Grammar Department, $200; Prims ry Grammar Department, $240 ; Princi pal of Colored Schools, $6OO ; Assistant of Colored Schools, $2BO ; Mub'ic Teach er, $6OO. Foundation Laid. The foundation for a large and aubHtan tial building to be used, we presume, for depot purposes, has just been laid on the lot owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, near the canal bridge. From the care taken in dressing the stone to be used in the structure, we should suppose that the building will be a very expensive and handsome one. Se Oil Well. A new well has been Btruck on the Tarr farm, by Mr. Thomas G. Duncan, which yields one hundred and fifty barrels of oil daily, and is increasing. Another well, which is being bored on the same farm, has struck oil, but what the yield will be it is at present difficult to determine. Petroleum. In the oil market yesterday there was considerable inquiry, and we beard of sales as follows : 102, barrels returned, at 22 j 105, barrels included, at 28i ; 1,000, barrels returned, at 22J ; 700, barrels re turned, at 221, and 300 in different Jots, at from 28 to 28J, barrels included. The receipts at the Allegheny wharf amounted to 763 barrels of crude. Held tor Perjury, James Richey, of Washington county, was taken beforo Commissioner Bailey, night before last, on a charge of perjury in having sworn that he was the father of 'motherless children dependent upon him for Bupport. He was held to bail in the sum of $2,000 for his appearance on Sat nrday. Watermelons. This delicious fruit is becoming quite plenty in our market, but prices as yet are stiff. We priced some pretty good sized ones yesterday, and were told they were sixty cents each. Held to Ball. A man by the name of Thomas Conrad teas before Commissioner Bailey yester day morning charged with having coun seled resistance to the draft. He was held in the sum of $l,OOO for his appear ance at the first term of Court. Sculling, James Hamill had his famous new boat, the Alexander King, at Glenwood Grove yesterday, and he and his brother John delighted the pienicians by giving exhibi tions of her speed. At each stroke of the oar, she would dart through the water like a fish darting at its prey. Capt. Dick’s Company. Captain Dick’s company, who came up frpm New Creek, Virginia, a short time since, have been transported from their camp at Connellaville to camp Copeland, where they are now performing parole duty. Hiss Beatty. The trial of Miss Beatty for the killing of her sedneer, comes np for trial on Mon day week, being the firßt on the list, — She is anxious to have it come off as soon as possible, and exhibits the utmost Bto icism in regard to her fate. Street Committee. The members of the Street Committee meet this evening for the purpose of taking into consideration the paving of Morton street. As this is an important matter, the nr'operty owners on that street should not iaii to ho in attendance. Death of a Pilot. Robert Keyes, aged 60 years, pilot on board the United Suites steamer Lafayette, died at the Officers’ Hospital, Baton Rouge, La,, a short time since. The Pic-Nlc. A very large number attended tho pic nic-given yesterday by the young men's Socfality. Quite a number who contempla ted going in the quarter past one o’clock train got there just in time to see it move Yesterday was such a day as would make one delight to read An account of Kane’s arctio expedition, and a very poor one to indulge in b discussion in regard to Sonthern affairs. It was hot. Launch. Captain Batchelor’s new boat, being built np the river, will be launched on Batnrday. The hnll is said to be a most complete job. She will be down here early next woek. The big boat being bnilt at Shousetown for Captain B. iff also nearly ready for launching. She is in tended for the lower trade, and will carry 1,700 tonß. She will be commanded ’by Captain Hngh Campbell.

Meade Preparing for Active Movements Information from Charleston The Robbery of the Ruth—Capture of Reb el Mail-carriers—Conscripts Arriving —Rebel Dash Across the Potomac. Washington, August 19. In order that the army may be supplied with enoh necessaries as come within the sutlers’ province, and to preserve them from Mosby’s gangs, General Meade has established a strong cavalry escort for a sutlers’ train, to ran weekly from Alexan dria. The army sutlers are prohibited taking goods except iu the caravan, which leaves each Monday, and returns Thurs days. Ho also directs that, in view of the ser vice the troops may at any time bo called upon to perform, the wives of officers and soldiers, now within the lines of the army, be romoved forthwith. The departments are not without infor mation from Charleston, but as it is most ly relative to prospective movements, it is not deemed proper for publication. De cisive results are speedily anticipated. Experts here have been discussing the possibility of Gilmore reaching Charles* ton with long-ranged guns, as announced to day. Suspicions are entertained in the Treat* : ury Department, that the loss ol $2,000,- 000 Treasury notes by the burning of the steamer Ruth, involved previous robbery. Experiments with canceled noli* at the Treasury Office render the suspicion proh able.

Washington, August 20. —Prominent : officers serving before Charleston oxpress themselves in private letters received here to day, as earnestly hopeful of the combined naval and military operations, but they do not mention any time. The reduction of fort Samter, Ac. is piomised by enthusiastic correspondents. The work being heavy and requiring the utmost skill and caution, they, with a full appreciation of all the difficulties pur- posely refrain from oxciting expectations of immediate and complete victory, nor are speedy results of each a character an ticipated by gentlemen in Washington, who are boat acquainted with the plans and intentions of the commanding officers. Tho act to provide natioaal currency, &c., authorizes the employment ojl the National Banking associations created under it as depositories of the Internal Revenue, as such employment involves the duty of requiring adequate security for tho amounts deposited, the Secretary of the Treasury has come to the conclusion to nni< from tho National Banks desiring to receive such deposits, to place in the Treasury of the United States six per coot bonds tc an amount equal to ten per cent ol tlw ir capital stock, and to give the bond ci th»'directors and officers equal to their capital stock as security of the punc tual payment of all lawful checks for de lnoHinuch, however as a number ol banka have been organized and os yet aro without circulation, Secretary Chase proposes to direc t deposits to be made with such on receiving Iroin them tho consentof their respective bonds uf directors, that the bonds already deposited to as security for circulation, may hr hold aa security t ) tor deposits, leaving the additional bond aa weli a* the bond of thu directors and others to be given utterwards, at any time 1»"l.»re the turni-dimg ot circulation.
