OTHIIRSDAY MORNING, AUG. 27
CM An BEN titoEllooll INTIILLIGISINE
Our City.
To the stranger arriving in our midst,
Pittsburgh is as a luminous sips post,
having on its face the motto, "He that
runs may read." Everywhere he beholds
the sturdy, matter-of fact evidences of its
increasing wealth and prosperity. At the
first dawn of the morning the faint hum
of busy industry arises, until it swells into
the roar of active energy. Business, vig
orous and healthy, even during these
sweltering days, is pursued with a vim un
paralleled. It vies with its palmiest days
prior to 1880. To a common observer of
passing events, the difference between the
present, social, mechanical and commer
cial condition as compared with that which
followed upon the heels of secession is
most striking. Then the gloom of uncer
tainty, and the disruption and confusion
of business ties North and South, para
lyzed all branches of trade. The mechanic
and the laborer were thrown out of em
ployment, and idled with dismay in their
hearts upon our streets. The iron and
glass trade, monopolized by the South,
and which gave employment to hundreds,
languished. Oar cotton factories, which
also were considered of vital importance
to our wealth, were and are hermetically
sealed. Everything stagnated. Bat as
if we were blessed above all other people,
new avenues of investments and business
were opened. The oil trade, now second
to none in magnitude and importance,
became a vast field of capital and enter
prise, giving labor to all kinds of artificers.
The manufacture of tobacco, for home
nonsumption and foreign trade, contracted
by the blockade into the North, was en
tered into with great energy by all the
yetail and wholesale dealers, realizing to
th.amselves immense profits, and also
givii"g work to hundreds of boys and girls
who were idle from the closing of the fac
tories. Never s ere the saddlery arid tin
business co proepercns as they are now.—
The same Lau be said of all other branch
es of trade; azd none are there that can
not find sometting to do at very remuner
ative wages. It is the mechanics and the
laborer's harvest. The city, like a busy,
thrifty hive, is overflowing with honey.—
Prosperity smiles upon her, and were it
not for the occasional telegraphic bulle•
tins, we would forget that there is such a
thing as a devastating war raging in the
country. Can any other city in the Union
produce ouch another bright record of
prosperity as Pittsburgh? We believe
not,
The Sculling Match.
Thero appears to exist some difficulty
yet about the match, between Ward and
Hamill. Josh. Ward has written a sort
of a challenge to Hamill, which is pub
lished in the Spirit of the Times, and
reads as follows :
• "If Mr. Hamill will nit accept $2OO
for expenses to row me again on the Hud
son, I-will, in this instance, depart from
my resolution not to row away from that
river, to accommodate him, and row on
nentralWater. I bill row him a five mile
race, for $l,OOO a side, in four weeks after
the first deposit, on Lake Champlain, and
pay his expenses trom New York to the
lake and back. I will give him a smooth
course, and co-operate with him in a
fnendly spirit in every arrangement to
wards making the race a satisfactory one.
If he is disposed to accept, it is a go ; if
not, I trust this will end our correspon
dence.'
Accident on the Central Ohio
Railroad
An accident occarred on the Central
Ohio Railroad . Monday morning about 9
o'clock, at Clay Lick Station, six miles
East of Newark. A stock train bound
East was standing on the hide track,
awaiting for the Express train West to
pass. The engine of the stock train, it
appears, was nut far enough in upon the
04ing to clear the passenger cars. A col-
Hah' was the consequence, by which a
b ea losman and train boy (colored) had
eac h a IN....boken, and W. D. Terry, for•
manly of Wheeling, but now of Columbus,
Ohio, had two ribs broken, and a soldier
had both his . feet smashed. The colored
boy has since ...lied, and the brakeman has
had his leg aml , , ntated. It is thought the
soldier will lose broth of his feet. Those
injured, with the a iteeption of Mr. Terry,
who was in the baggage car, were stand
ing on the car platform when the acci
dent occurred. The en,tine of thP pas
senger train was uninjare, 4 .. The passen
ger cars had their platforms broken, but
were otherwise uninjured. The train
came through, about tour hours behind
time.
Drowned.
On Wednesday last Martin Flannigan went

When a few miles south of the city, Flan•
nigan Was throWn out or fell out. About
three•fourths of a mile beyond, the couple
appeared to be quarrelling for the posses
sion of the reins, during which the horse
was driven ackinst a fence. The river
runs parallel with the road at this place,
and has a perpendicuke bank twelve feet
in height.. During the q::larrel the horse
backed over the bank and al; were drown

Arrived Home.
Capt. David Critchlow, of Company C.,
100th Kentucky (Roundheads,) has arriv
ed at hie home in Beaver, after an absence
of over two years. Captain Critchlow
formerly resided in this place, and was
better known as " Professor" Critchlow,
teacher of music.' The Beaver Argus,
speaking of him, says : Capt. Critchlow
was one of the first to volunteer in this
county on the breaking out of the ' rebel
lion. He has been in the service over two
years and has uniformly discharged hie
duty as becomes a brave and efficient offi
cer. We are reliably informed that he is
regarded as one of the , beat officers in the
service. He is a complete master of mili
tary tactics, never hesitates in the per
formance of any duty and shrinks from no
danger. He has seen much hard service
with the regiment and it gives us pleasure
to record his efficiency and .bravery.
We yesterday noticed that the coal dig
gers were on a strike. We learn that eat•
isfactory arrangements have been made,
so that the laborers have returned to work
and our citizens need be under"no appre
heniione in regard to paying an extrava
gant price for coal.
Habeas Corpus.
David K. Craig, Peter McCrory and
Wm. Woodward were yesterday taken be

Nathaniel Nelson, Esq., was yesterday
admitted to practice in the 'United States

Look ont for the Ghost.
The New York papers are filled with
accounts of a new thing brought out upon
the stage in that city, which is more start
ling in its effects than any thing yet pre
sented to the public. It is nothing more
nor less than the appearance of a ghost
upon the stage. So life like, or rather
death like, or perhaps supernatural is the
word, that on several occasions ladies
have fainted, and been carried from the
theatre. It is a thing of air, perceptible to
the sight, but not to the touch. You can
put a pistol to its heart and fire it, run it
through with a sword, cleave it in twain,
and still it remains uninjured. Through
its green form, the actors and parapher•
nalia of the stage are distinctly visible.—
It moves with silent tread. It sur
rounds itself with the very atmosphere
of the spirit world, and yet it depends for
.
its very existence upon an article indis
pensable to a lady's chamber, to wit 'a
mirror. It is a thing of reflection, with
out intending to cast any reflections upon
it. We learn that Manager Henderson
has made an arrangement by which his
ghostehip will be induced to pay our city
a visit to astonish the weak nerves of
those even who are disbelievers in the
doctrine of spiritualism. As might be
expected, the ghostly messenger is of Pa
risian origin, although he adapts himself
to natives of every clime.
Theatre.
We dropped into the theatre for a mo
ment last night, and witnessed one scene
in the Lady of Lyons. Mr. Loveday per
sonated the character of Claude Melnotte
in a very creditable manner. He has es
tablished himself among us as an actor of
a great deal of merit. To-night. the new
sensation drama, from Miss Braddon's
novel, entitled dy Audley's Secret, will
be presented. The performance will con•
elude with Hit Him Again, he has no
Friends. We understand that Mr. Hen
derson pas in active preparation a piece
entitled the Duke's Signal, which is said
to have had an immense run in the East
ern theatres, bat as it requires new scene
ry, new dresses, new properties, and in
tact everything about it having to be en
tirely new, it will require some time to
bring it out properly.
Hoop Skirt Manufactory.
A hoop skirt has become as indispensi
ble to a lady's wardrobe as a bonnet or
any thing else, and the very natural inqui
ry among the dear creatures is, where can
we be best siai:ed? for hoop skirts, like
all other appendages, are of different
shape and sizes. H. Schnitzer .Is . Zo. 49
Market street, who manufactures the arti
cle in all its varieties is presumed to be
an excellent judge of a well fitting skirt,
and as he has at all times a very large
stock, we would advise our lady friends to
give him a call. and examine his stock.—
He can retail them at wholesale prices.—
lle also a very large stock of corsets,
to which he invites the attention of the
ladies.

NEw YORK, Aug. 26.—The following
interesting letter is fram Mr. Fulton, edi•
tor of the Baltimore American :
OFF CHARLESTON, FRIDAY NooN, Aug.
21.—Fort Sumter still flies the rebel flag,
but its west wall is a mass of ruins. Shells
go into the fort and explode inside; some
of them passing through the east wall,
going in on one side and coming out on
the other.
An easterly storm prevailed on Tuesday
and Wednesday, but broke away on Thurs
day. We now have fine weather, and it is
expected that the Monitors will go into
action on Sumter this p. m. The Iron•
sides and our wooded vessels have shelled
at Wagner and Gregg every day, keeping
them quiet while our shore batteries are
hammering Sumter.
Seven North Carolina deserters from
Sullivan's Island were picked up in a boat
last night by the Montauk. They say the
rebels are preparing to abandon Sumter
and blow it up ; that they have been tak
ing the guns out of it ever since the attack
upon it in April last, which d'emonstrated
their inability to hold it ; that there are
not more than six or eight guns now in
the fort, the rest being Quakers; that•the
cordon of beer barrels are merely intended
to sustain the telegraph wire between
Sumter and Moultrie, and are no part of
the obstructions of the harbor ; that the
North Carolina troops are anxious to go
home, and are almost in a state of mu
tiny ; that the rebels all anticipate the
fall of Sumter ; that the walls of Sumter
were extensively breached in April, and
that there is a great scarcity of provisions
among the rebels.
The flag of Sumter has been shot away
four times, and now there is no flag up.
The rebel batteries on James Island throw
shells night and day into our lines, but
do not cause more than one or two casu•
alties daily. Admiral Dahl is anxious to
let the army and naval batteries finish fort
Sumter, expecting to have plenty of work
for the Monitors in taking the interior
line of defences of Charleston.
A flag of truce was sent to Wagner on
Friday morning, and firing ceased during
the interview, when it was resumed again.
Gen. Gilmore notified Gen. Beanregard
that he would commtace to shell the city
within 48 hours, and requesting . him to re
move the women and children.
The whole monitor fleet went up on
Friday night for another assault upon
Sumter. The Passaic got aground. and
so much time was lost in getting her off
that the expedition was abandoned for the
night.
WASHINGTON, Ans. 26.—1 t appears
from statements received at the Treasury
Department, that during the month of
July, $416,88 1 .4 was received for duties at
San Francisco, which is therefore the next
port in importance to New York, as far
as the revenue is concerned. The rev.
enue of Tuesday, July 2A02, was $55,000.
The largest amount ever received there in
a single day.
A gentleman attached to the public ser:
vice says that in the shelling of Charleston
at a distanc't of five milesa greater success
has been attained with Parrott guns
than has heretofore entered into their cal.
oulations. Even the rebel accounts Of
the recent movements against Charleston
are regarded here as affording a cheering
prospect of a complete Union success.
The Navy Department has received no
official advices within the last two days

Guerrilla bands still infest the south

The War Departinnut anticipates offioia
advises tomorrow from Gee. Gilmore.
It is thought that her has been able to
reach Charleston with shell from his Per
rott gnus. Hence his demand for the sur
render of the plane before attaching the
batteries above Sumter.
The Richmond Examiner intimates that
the garrisons will be withdrawn from Fart
Wapner and Morris Island when the place
gets too hot for them, and says the officers
n command of Charleston " understand
their profession too well to permit the
battery or island to become another of the
many man-traps which have done the
country so much moral as well as mate
rial injury during the war."
The Augusta Constitutionalist dreads
lest the Yankees should get foothold on
James Island, compelling the surrender
of the city, and this is probably the secret
of the great efforts the rebels are making
to fortify James Island.
The Richmond Whig of the 20th, has a
lachrymose article upon absenteeism in
the Confederate army, in which it makes
the remarkable statement that, during the
battles ari..und Richmond the number of
soldiery on General Lee's roll was 120,•
000; the largest number at these battles
was 48,000. At the battle of Sharpsburg
