A full attendance is requested.
Habeas Corpus.
Robert Donaldson was yesterday die
charged on a writ of habeas corpus from
the custody of Capt. Trimble. He is but
nineteen years of age, and was wounded
while at Camp Howe.
The case of David R. Craig came up
for hearing, but the writ was quashed on
the grouna that Craig was not iu Cart.
Wright's custody, on whom the writ was
served.
( 'oroner's Inquest
A Coroner's 'lnquest was held on Sun•
day evening, on the body of Et boy by the
name of Lewis Michel, - wile was drowned
Sabbath afternoon while bathing in the
Allegheny river, near the Hand street
Bridge. The boy was about twelve years
of age. He lived with hih father, a fresco
painter, on Smithfield street.
Rain.
Yesterday evening it began to cloud
overhead, and after a tremendous gust of
wind, the rain began to pour in torrents.
It rained very bard for some time, but
eventually slacked up a little, although it
still continued to rain till late at night.
The air was rendered delightfully cool by
the change.
Sheri ffalty.
We yesterday learned that Mr. Samuel
B. Cluley had received notification from
the t/overnor of his appointment to fill
the vacancy oeraeioned by the death of
Harry Woods, Esq., and that he had been
requested to forward his bail bond, Mr.
Cluley has had considerable experience in
the business, and will doubtless make an
efficient officer.
Planting Trees.
Mark D. Wilson, of Dodge connty, Wis
consin, a successful orchardist, states the
following conditions as essential to enc•
case in planting trees:
Ist. Planting on knolls or dry ridges,
and using little or no manure. This se
cures a moderate growth and ripened
wood.
2d. Low heads, the hare trunks not
exceeding two and a half or three feat.
high.
3,1. Protection against mice, by making
a mound of smooth earth a foot high about
each tree late in autumn. Also to spread
several inches of straw, five or six feet
each way, about the tree, to protect the
roots from severe frezing. This is equal
to a protection of snow, and isparticular
ly essential in the cultivation of the dwarf
trees.
4th. Selection from the hardiest varie
ties.
Accident to an Infant
On Sundae morning a little child of
Manus McFadden's, who resides on
Forbes street, in the eighth ward, fell
from the second story window to the pave
ment, a distance of about fourteen feet,
and was seriously if not fatally injured.—
It was sleeping with its mother, and the
bed being along aide of an open window,
it must have crawled or rolled ont while
she slept. It was about nine months old.
Death from Apoplexy.
On Sunday morning about nine o'clock,
Mr. James A. Fetzer, an old and well
known produce and commission merchant
of this city, fell dead at his residence on
Mt: Washington, while in the act of wash•
ing, preparatory to attending divine ser•
vice. He arose in the morning in his
usual health, and so apparantly continued
up to the moment of Lis death, His
disease was apoplexy.
Juvenite Thieves-
thi Saturday the money drawer of Mr.
Tesh, a botcher who has a stall at the
market house, was robbed of fifteen dol-
lars. The supposition is that it was taken
by some of the numerbus juvenile thieves
who infest the market.

Lodge in his official capacity, on which
occasion, by special request, W. Lind,
Esq., will address the meeting. All mem•
bers of the Order are respectfully invited
to attend.
F. S. TORBETT, SEC
Bilge Water Determinator.
We were yesterday shown at the boiler
yard of Mr. Andrew Watson, a most sim
ple, and at the , same time a most inge
nious contrivance for ascertaining the
amount of bilge water in the hold of a
vessel. The external appearance is that
of a steam indicator, to which is attached
a gotta percha pipe, at the end of which
is a metal pipe about 18 inches in length.
It works by atmospheric pressure. You
simply let the pipe down into the hold of
the vessel, and the moment the end of it
touches the water, it commences to act
upon the indicator, the hand determining
to the fraction of an inch what amount of
water there is in the bold. We should judge
it would be a very useful article to take
into a yawl of a dark night, in the case of
a steamboat being aground, to ascertain
wh:•re the water was. It would tell the
exact depth, and a person carrying a lan
terd would be able to see by the indicator
the exact amount of water. It has been
patented by Brevoor & Singleton, who have
appointed Messrs. Cadman & Crawford, of
this place, their agents. It is an article
in which all steamboatmen and ship own•
era should be interested, and we would
advise them to call upon Messrs. Cadman
.Crawford, Duquesne Way, just above
the Wire Bridge, and see it. When a
boat is so stowed with freight that it is
impossible to get at the bottom without
breaking away the cargo, it is in valuable.
Artificial Legs.
Wo yesterday had our attention tit
tracted by two discharged soldiers who
had each lost a leg fighting for the Union.
They were in company, and had just put
on each a wooden leg manufactured by
Mr. J. Riechenbach. One of them walk
ed without cane or crutch with with= scarcely
perceptible lameness. The other, owing
to the stump being scarcely healed, was
walking with the assistance of a cane.
Mr. Rechenbach's establishment is on 4th
street near Market street.
Trimble's Varieties.
The farce company at this place of pnb
. lie amusement, is really first class. The
chief attraction is Mies Anna Hyatt, who
as a protean actress ranks among the first
in the country. Mackay the "Old Man"
is well known in this community and is re
cognized as one of the very best in his
profession. Mr. Fiske possesses the same
I , m : its, but his vulgarity coupled with his
ignorance of the first, principles of the
President's English, makes his appear
anoa 80 , n ,,t 1 ,,,5es painful. He may im
prove. Take the company MI a whole,
however, it is very fay above mediocrity
stud should be supported.
Artificial Parchment.
Artificial parchment is made by dipping
thick'paper in dilated sulphuric acid. This
process increases the strength of the pa
per, makes it translncent, and gives it the
exact appearance of parchment, which it
has in a great measure replaced, from its
superior cheapness. According to Pro- •
lessor Calvert of Manchester, England,
the same process applied to cotton cloth
very - much 'increases its strength. The
cotton thus prepared is technically termed
" blanket."
,Larceny.
Officer Herron, last evening, arrested a
man in the act of stealing several pair of
drawers from the establishment of Cheap
John• The fellow had them hid under
his coat, and in the endeavor to arrest
him, and to take the articles from him ho
tore the coat of the officer nearly off his
back. He was taken to the Mayor's office,
who alter hearing the testimony commit
ted him to jail, there to await his trial at
the first term of the Criminal Court.
Scarcity of Ice
Ice has become so scarce, that yester
day many of the soda fountains were
obliged to stop, on account of their not
being' able to obtain a supply. An ice
dealer informed us that by the latter part
of the weak the stock of ice on hand
would be entirely consumed.
Theatre.
The performance last night at the Thee.
tre was really excellent. The sterling
comedy of School for Scandal never fails
to draw, and last night each and every
one were - perfect in their part, and per
formed their role well. To-night, Aurora
Floyd will be produced, after which the
Wandering boys will conclude the per
formance.
Mammoth Dry Goods Store.
We yesterday paid a visit to the im
mense dry goods establishment of Mr.
William Semple, situated on Federal
street, Allegheny City, above the Diamond,
Nos. ISO and 182. There are but few
who have any idea or conception of the
immense business done by this gentleman,
and we doubt whether there is a house
of the same kind in the city of Pittsburgh
that does in the course of the year, any
larger business than that done by Mr.
Semple. At present his fall stock is very
full, consisting in part of all kinds of
dress goods, shawls, a fair stock of silks,
bonnets, hats, ribbons, cloths, sAtinetts,
casinetts, jeans, and other articiiiis for
men and boys wear, domestic goods of
all descriptions, Irish linens, shirt fronts,
flannels, blankets, hoop and
skirts, and in fact everyarticl. OF.r .1q11•.:Iy
constitutes the stock of a fir.
goods house
- Nor is it in the retail branch of the hnsi
ness alone that Mr. Semple excels. .I:l,is
facilities for making purchases are such
as enable him to offer extra inducements
to wholesale purchasers. His terms are
strictly cash ; whether it be the purchase
of a paper of needles, or ten thousand
dollars worth of goods, the terms are the
same. This gives him an opportunity of
buying for cash, by which means he
makes his purchases very low, and ena
bles him to sell low. Already his whole
sale custom embraces not only merchants
from all the adjoining connties, but Pitts
burgh itself sends him a vast amount of
custom, besides which he has a number
of customers residing in I In tact,
he offers extra inducements to wholesale
dealers, and can give them as good a se
lection, and at as low prices, as can be
obtained any where.
The business departments of Mr. Sem
ple's establishment occupy four floors.
The basement is fitted up for the exhibi•
tion and sale of prints, woolen goods, &c.,
and so well lighted that any article can be
inspected as closely as though held to the
broad light of day. The stock on this lloor
is very large, and is well deserving of par
ticular attention from those about to buy
in their 'Stocks.
The first, or ground floor is the general
retail departMent. Five counters run the
entire length of the room, upon which are
piles upon piles of every conceivable kind
of goods found in adry goods store. Atten•
tive salesmen are on hand at all times to
show you any article that you may call
for, and if you fail to be pleased after a
look through Mr. Semple's mammoth
stock, we hardly think that it would be of
any use to try elsewhere.
The second floor is devoted to the sale
of notions, merinos, and goods of that
description, and the third to the sale of
hoop and balmoral skirts.
In order to give somejdea of the amount
of business done at this house, we would
state that as a general thing Mr. Semple's
stock amounts to the sum of 51 . 25,000,
and there is not a day in the year but
what he receives goods from the east, and
from the manufacturers, either by order
or by immediate purchase. In recom
mending our readers to call upon Mr.
Semple before making their purchases,
we do so not only with a conviction, but
with the absolute knowledge that they can
obtain whatever they may desire in his
line of business, upon as favorable terms
as any where else, and have a large and
well assorted stock to select from.
Mr. Semple offers no inducements for
parties to eall upon him upon the plea
that he either will give his goods away, or
will extend them credit : he sells for cash,
and at a fair living profit, and this is the
secret of his success. Again we cordially
recommend all in want of articles in his
line to give him a call.

RUSSIAN PEBBLE
Just received, an entire new supply of
the widely known RUSSIAN PEBBI.FS.
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 slow in what man
ner it is superior to any other now in use.

The Richmond \Vhig of the 21st, says
the loss of Vicksburg, and the failure at
Gettysburg, are the two events of the
year, which seem to render highly proba
ble a long and almost indefinite continu
ance of the war, apart from the victories
we may achieve in the field, There are
but two means of counteracting the bane
ful effects of these events, and bring hos-
tilities to an early close. These are either
foreign intervention, or a determined op
position by the conservative masses of the
North to the abolition faction which has
control of the Government at Washing

FORTRE, , , MONROE, Aug. 23—A mail
has just arrived from Newberg with dates
from our correspondent of yesterday, who
writes as follows The rebel papers in this
State and Virginia clamor loudly for the
suppression of the Raliegh Standard, the
official paper of the State which bids defi
ance to Jeff Davis and all his destructives
in the Southern Confederacy.
Its circulation is larger in the South and
is rapidly increasing, which together with
the endorsement of its course by public
meetings in different parts of the State
indicat , conclusively that it but expresses
the wishes of the people of North Caro
line, Its columns are open to the ablest
writers in the State, and their statesman-
like articles against secession, are unan
swerable. The Editor, W. W. Holton,
who caned the rebel Editor of the Raleigh
Journal, a short time since, threatens Jac..
Mitchell, of th Richmond Examiner with
like treatment. The Holton, Tenn., Jour
nal, speakinv of the condition of affairs
in East Tennessee, nays of Bragg : We

It is apparent that Itosecrans intends
to flank him on both sides. He will no
doubt throw into North-west Georgia a
massive column, and another into East
Tennessee, by way of Sparta. Suppose
the former ensues, what security has
Bragg then to fall back to Atlanta? And
if he does this what•will become of East

WILLIAM HOPKINS WHITNEY departed
this life on Tuesday, the eleventh day of Aug,pa
18e3.
With a heart than which none kindlier bent,
with a head the productions of which will be
long and honorably remembered by the people
of Pittsburgh, with a hand whore bounty wu
never withheld when nteessity called upon it,
and wh..=e lat,r was always proffered in behalf
of a friend, suddenly in the prime of his useful
manhood, ho wao touched by the hand of the
destroying angel and was struck down like to
"the grass which withereth and the flower which
lie died! Did his death create a void in no
Place save in the hearts of the family of which
he was at once the pride and the head? Let the
many whom he has henefitted answer; let his
numerous circle of friends answer: 'et the press
answer, of which for twenty-five years he has
been a member and an ornament; let those
among whom he (lid business, answer, who knew
his 1.-tithfulinesq and his worth.
Ile died with his heart full of love to his fel
low men, over whose faults and failings he was

a temper seldom or ne% or ruffled, and with that

Sin: 'I was a private in Co. F, 17th Regiment,
Now York Vela. While at Harrison'a Landing,
and on the Rappahannock near Falmouth, 1 and
many of the Company were sick with bilious al
arrhoa. The Army Surgeon did notcuro us, and
I was reduced to skin and bone. Among the com
pany were quite a number of members who had
worked in your Laboratory at ding Sing. TheY
were not sick, because they used Brattdreth's
Pills. These men prevailed upon me and others
to use the Pills, and we were all cured in:from
two to five days. After this our boys used Bran
droth's Pills for the typhus fever, c , drls. rheuma
tism, and in no case did they fail to restore
health.
Out of gratitude to you for my good health, 1
send you this letter, which if necessary. the en
tire company would sign.
