Night before last a drover, stopping at Clark's tavern, in the Ninth Ward, was robbed of his pocket book, containing $305, ander the following circumstances. He retired to rest at the usual hoar, pla. cingg his pants, containing his pocket book, ander his pillow. During the night his room was entered by some adroit thief, who managed to get his pantaloons from under hie head, and thus obtained his money. The same night, in the same house, another man was robbed of $5O. There were no other strangers stopping at the house that night, and the whole matter is involved in mystery. Fire at New Castle. On Thursday morning about four o'clock the warehouse of Cochran & Phillips at- New Castle, was destroyed by fire. It contained about $15,000 worth of wool belonging to Isaac Phillips, and probably an equal amount purchased by Mr. Coch ran for other . parties, besides a large amount of grain and other goods of va rious kinds, all of which were destroyed. The entire loss will probably reach $40,000. Mb Phillips' wool was entirely insured. and about $12,000 on the build ing. The fire was the work of an incen diary, the safe having been blown open, and removed from the place where it ven ally stood. Meeting of the Central Board. The Central Board of Education met Friday evening, August 28. Present, Messrs. Brush, Duncan, Har rison, Marshall, and Sergeant. Mr. Marshall was appointed President pro tem. The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. The Principal presented a report of the result of the re examination for admission to•the High School. On motion of Mr. Brush, candidates holding the following numbers were enti tled to admission, viz : NOS. 8. 4,9, 13, 16, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,'28, 81, 32, 33, 39, 40, 41, 44, 46, 61, 62, 63, 68, 69, 62, 64, 66, 67, 69, 72, 73, 74;"77; 79, 80 , 81 , 85 ; 87, 91 , 94. On motion, adjourned. A fire broke out last night in the fourth story of the building on the East side of Smithfield street, three or four doors above Fifth. occupied - by Robert Wray, as a tea store D. M. Coates' daguerean gal lery, and R. B. Ewing's book bindery. It broke oat in a back room, and was ex tinguished with but little difficulty, the water from the engines doing more dam age than the fire. We could not learn the origin of the fire. In a Tight Place. An old, white headed, patriarchal look ing gentleman, nearly 60 years of age, hailing from Armstrong county in this State, was yesterday arrested in this city on complaint of a young miss, seventeen years of age, charging him with fornica tion and bastardy. He was placed in the lookup until the afiernoon, when he was sent to Kittanning in charge of an officer. Get the Best. Don't throw away your money on worth less pens with which you can never be satisfied, while you can get a dozen of Miner's celebrated Aluminium Pena for twenty cents. A cheaper or better pen than his was never made, and all who want pens should give it a trial. Rata. Last night we were visited with another glorious raiu. We think the prospect for a general rise in the rivers now is good. Theo, ly, question is, " will it affect the price of oil ?" Business. Judging from the immense piles of dry goods boxes along the pavements, the fall trade is about to commence. Now is the time to advertise, for he who has articles for sale, most let the public know it, if he wishes to do any business. Notary Public. Mr. Joseph Snowden has receiv'd the appointment of Notary Public. The ap pointment could not have been bestowed upon a better man. Patent Water Drawer. Messrs. Weldon & Kelly, gas and steam fitters, 164 Wood street, near Sixth, are agents for Daykins Patent Water Drawer, an article . that promises to supersede all the• old methods of drawing water from wells. Some of its merits are that it neither trips the bucket nor the spout, doingaway with the complicated machinery necessary to accomplish both. Its sim plicity makes it less liable to get out of order than any other drawer. The curb, bucket, &c., are made of the best mate rial, the whole being calculated to meet the wants of the public in ge-ieral. Again, water can be raised by it in less time than in any other way ; it discharges from the bottom of the bucket ; is warranted not to freeze in winter, and all the power re quired is to raise the weight of the water in the bucket. The first premium was awarded it at the Michigan and Indiana State Fairs; a silver medal by the Frank lin Institute, Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 18th, 1861, and also took the premium at the Montgomery County Fair, at Dayton, Ohio, in 1861. Call upon the agents and examine it. Latest Fall Styles.

The education of the youth has become peculiarly .an American institution, and it is with teelings of pride that the Ameri• can points to the noble edifices which are being erected throughout the length and breadth of the land, dedicated to the ed ucation and improvement of the rising generation. And it is with more than or dinary feelings of pride that we call atten tion to the institution, the name of which is t 6 be found at the head of this article.— Commencing under auspices which were any thing but encouraging, deeply involved in debt, it has by indomitable energy add perseverance, not only almost cleared it• self of the incubus which hung over it, but has erected a noble building,—an or nament to the city,—for the accommoda tion of its pupils. Pursuing a liberal spirit of enterprise, its faculty contains none but the best teachers, the salaries of fered being such as to insure the ablest and most talented in their profession.— The Faculty consists of nineteen members, of which ten are gentlemen, and the re mainder ladies. The Board of Trustees, twenty-four in number, comprise some of our best and most influential citizens. The regular routine of the institution is divided into a Collegiate Department, Preparatory Department, Primary De partment, Musical, Painting, Ornamental, Telegraphing, and other minor Depart ments. In the modern languages—French, German, Spanish and Italian—native teachers are employed, thus securing ac curacy in pronunciation. We wish to say a few words in regard to the college building, situated on Hancock street—one of the pleasantest streets in the city—away from the bustle and confa sion ot business, in full view of the Alle gheny river, shaded by a noble line of trees, it has all the advantages of air and light, besides being well shaded during the warm summer months. The exterior of the building is of the Gothic style of architecture, handsomely ornamented. It has a front on Hancock street. at I feet, by 100 in depth. Tho original building watt not so extensive, bit the Trustees have recently purchased three adjoining buildings, and these have had communi cations made to the old budding. By this addition, twenty-two additional dormito ries are added for the use of boarders, making the entire number sixty. The ap• plications have been so numerous that nearly every room is already engaged. It is owing to the entended patronage ot the College that the Trustees have been com• pelled to make the recent additions. . . Besides the three buildings before men tioned, an extensive addition is being made to the rear of the College building. This addition will make the chapel about 80 by 40 feet ; will give an additional re citation room, and hail fur the Liter...l.y Society on the second floor, and a meg nificent room 40 by 40 fret, with a 19 foot ceiling, for an art gallery and cabinet. The whole interior arrangement of the building is admirably adapted to the pur poses for which it is intended. The cell tugs on the first door are lofty, being 17 feet in the clear, and those in the secio,d and third stories are in proportion. Ihe parlor, or reception room for visitera fitted up in a luxurious manner, hard some Brussels carnets covering tie ti Jot, and rich furniture to match. Th.: sleep ing rooms of the young ladies are ar ranged very tastefully, and are supplied with gas and water, clothes presses, and other necessary articles. The dining room is very latge, being capable of sealing tine hundred young ladies witn ease. 'Die kitchen is a perfect bipm in its way, its interior arrangements being such as ...Lulu make the heart of the great Soyer himself beat with envy and admiration.

LATEST FROM CHARLESTON Official Report of Brig. Gem Porter's Expedition Up Red Farther News by the Hibernia RIOT AT GRANT TOWN ITEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH, Morris Island, S. C., Aug. 24. To Major General Halleck, Washington. Sir : —I have the honor to report the prac tical demolition of Fort Sumter as the re sult of our seven days' bombardment of that work, including two days of which a powerful north-east storm most seriously diminished the accuracy and effect of our firo. Fort Sumter is to-day a shapeless, harmless mass of ruins. My Chief of Artillery, Colonel J. M. Turner, reports its destruction so far com plete that it is no longer of any avail in the defenses of Charleston. He also says that by a longer fire it could be made more completely a ruin, and a mass of broken masonry, but could scarcely be more powerless for the defense of the harbor. Breaching batteries were located at distances varying between 3,330 and 9,240 yards from the work, and now re• main as efficient as ever. I deem it no. necessary at present to continue their fire upon the ruins of Sumter. I have also at great labor, and under heavy fire from James Island established batteries on my left within effective range of the heart of Charleston, and have opened with them after giving General Beauregard notice of my intention to do so. My notification to General Baeuregard, his reply thereto, with the threat of retaliation, and my re j ,ruder have been trar omitted to the army Headquarters. The projectiles from my batteries entered the city, and General Beauregard himself designates them as the most destrctive missiles ever used in war. The report of my chief of artillery and an accurate sketch of the ruin of Sum ter, taken at 12 o'clock m. yesterday, six hours before we °eased firing are herewith tr d gnsmitted. Very respectfully your ob't serv't. Wasniaoros, Auguat 28.—The Navy Department has received a communica tion from Commodore Trencherd, of the steamer Rhode Island, reporting the ca.ptrire of the English screw steamer Crourtadt, for a violation of the blockade of Wilmington, North Carolina. Her cargo consists of cotton, turpentine, and tobacco. Rear Admiral Porter forwards the re- port of Lieutenant Bache. relative to the late river Expedition. He fir t stopped at Des Arc, on the White River, and burnt the c3elecidrate stores, destroyed the telegraph wires, Sc. He then sent the Cricket after the steamers Tom Gregg and Cagigas, which he had reason to be lieve were ahead up the river, while he and the Marmora proceeded to Augusta, thirty miles further. Here he obtained valuable infcrmation of the enemy, which was subsequently confirmed, namely, that the grand Southern Army was concentrat ing at Brownville to make their line of defense on the Bayou Meto. Gen. Price was there, and Gen. Kirby Smith at Lit tle Rock. Gen. Marmaduke had crossed the river a few days before, and was then crossing Little Red River. Leaving the Marmora off the mouth, Lieut. Bache went up Little Red River with the Lexington. When about 25 mike distant he met the Cricket, with two prizes which she had captured at Zaroy, 1r; miles farther on. She also destroyed Marmadnke's pontoon bridge, leaving a portion of the latter's brigad3 on the other side of the river. The Cricket was fired into by Marmaduke's men, and had about 20 soldiers wounded out of 150. Bath vessels were attacked coming down the river. Some cotton and a few prix• otters were captured with the prizes. The Torn Gregg is a fine side-wheel steamer, as is also the Kaskaakia, though somewhat older. They are now manned and are retained to co-operate with the army. Along the river the farmers were glad at our presence and many Union demonstra- lions were made The captured boats were the only means of transportation the rebels had on the river; therefore our taking Vs a heavy blow inflicted upon them. Lieut. Dannington who was formerly captured whilE,in command of the Arkan• sas post, is now fitting at Little Rock the Ponchartrain, the last ram the rebels have in these waters. If she ventures outside the shoals, Admiral Porter says she will be captured. Admiral Porter communicating the re• sults of the last expeditien up the Yazoo river to recover the Baron De Kalb, says, the vessel cost the rebels more than was at first supposed. Captain We,'her...has received informa tion to be relied on, that besides the five steamers at or near the city of Yaioo, Isaac Brown, late in the U. S. Navy, in a panic and for fear they would fall into our hands, set fire to and destroyed 14 others, among them nine large ones, The ma chinery of which was intended to be sent to Selma, Alabama, for the gunboats building there. There are no more steamers on the Yasoo. All the vesseis which sought refuge there as the safest place in rebeldom have been destroyed. ACTS FOR THE Nsw 'Form, August 28.—The steamer Corsica, from Nassau to the 24th, has ar rived. Quits a riot took place at Grant town be tween the inhabitants and soldiers; two or three on both sides were killed. Several blockade runners had returned to Nassau. An arrival from Havana states that the old walls of Havana have beendemolished. The gunboat Juniata sailed from Ha vana on the 12th, in pursuit of the rebel steamer Nita, which had sailed the same day from Gilmore. River Successful. &c, &c &c. Ste Q A. Gmmons, Brigadier General Corn Joaxs, N. F., Aug. 27.—The Lon• don Times, received by the Hibernia, in its city article, in referring to Mexico, says it is in vain to deny that the feeling is that the Emperor Napoleon has done a great service, both political and commer cial to the world—political in conforming to the previous action of Spain in extin guishing the Monroe doctrine, and com mercial in restoring intercourse with a na tion of such importance of territory. A British war ship from Rio Janeiro, reports as follows : Passed a ship, name not given, burnt to the water's edge, on the 2d of July, in let. 26° South, long. SS° West. Shortly afterwards spoke the steamer Alabaml, which had captured and burnt this 444:,: The Polish oneStion remabied.- an changed. £he Poles had defeated - the Russians at Zarzyret, and captured 200,- 000 roubles. • The Emperor Nopoleon's fete at Paris had passed off quietly, and without any political significance. The Congress of the German Princes was in session at Frankfort. It was headed by the Emperor of Austria, and was largely attended. The agents of the Confederate loan an nounced that the September dividend will be paid in due course. The French Government has revoked the measure ,of confiscation in Mexico, and withdrawn the proposition in regard o specie exports BALTIMORE, August 28.—The gunboat Meigs arrived at Point Lookoat at 11 o'clock Weddesday night and reports hav ing met the gunboat Carituck in the Ches apeake Bay, her captain reported that the gunboat Satelite and tug Reliance, Capt. Durgan, with the crews of both vessels, were captured on Tuesday by the rebels near the mouth cf the Rappahannock,— The Captain of the Satelite was reported killed and the Captain cf the Reliance wyund ed. MEMPHIS, Aug. 25.—New 0 deans advi ces of the 20t1 was received to day, and contain but little news. The ship C. C. Duncan from Boston with 76.000 bushels of oats bad arrived.— Eighty bales Tow meddling cotton sold at 664; very little on sale. The steamer Courier with the 49th Illi nois regiment on board collided with the steamer Des Arc about 80 miles below Memphis. The Courier was sunk and some lives were lost, but not yet known how many.

Waiting for Earl Russell's Reply—Ex change of Prisoners Resumed—Latest from Southern Papers. WASHINGTON, August 27 It is quite well known that no reply has been received from Earl Rumsll relative to the protest made by this Government against the fitting out of Anglo-rebel ves sels in England. It was made through Minist?r Adams, some time since, but by the last mail from London there is no in timation of any answer. A similar delay is said to have occurred at every step of this question, sufficiently long, it afterwards proved, for the vessels to get out of Eng lish ports. The Government received dispatches trom Gen Meredith,wbo is at Fortress Mon• roe, stating that negotiations were pend ing with the rebel authorities in relation to an exchange of prisoners. He hall an interview *ith the rebel agent on Satur day last, and it is expected that in the course of a few "days arrangements will be completed which will insure a speedy die charge of all our prisoners in rebel hands. The Richmond Enquirer, of August 24, mentions the fact ; and says it is hardly pos sible for any satisfactory conclusion to be arrived at on the negro question. The Savannah News, of the 18th, says: It is estimated that the number of soldiers now in the Confederate army, and rapidly forming for the field, is 575,000. This hardly reaches one half our fighting population. " General Roger Pryor has resigned Lis commission as Brigadier General, and is now serving as private in the 13th Virginia Cavalry." The Montgomery Mail of the 21st inst. says that "Adjutant Cunningham, who re cently arrived at Richmond, states that a number of hlorgan's men have escaped through the Yankee lines from Ohio swelling the force that succeeded in mak ing a through trip to fully six hundred. They are emcamped near Morristown, Telineesce, and wdl soon be in condition to pick up a.few hostages for the security of t:ctir beloved c—namander."

For the Mo min g Fiet A Iffajor.General on the Stump. The telegraph in torme us of a grand Abo- lition pow-wow at Johnstown, which was addres?nd by Andy Curtin (for whose char acter for honPsty and political integrity see PiilabUrgh Gazette of July 31st and August 4th, 186;3,1 and Msjor•3eneral Rousseau, of Kentucky. We are also in formed that the meeting was a great gath ering, which is attributable to the fact that they don't read the Pittsburgh Gazette in that locality, the character of which for truth and veracity is most certainly as good as Andy's or General ROSSI:1811'd. If the people of Johnstown knew as much about Governor Curtin as the people of Allegheny, this glorious demonstration would have been a very tame affair, for however patriotic and attached the people of Johnstown may be to our glorious Union, they most certainly do not want a public plunderer for Governor when they can get an honest man. The best thing the Governor can do is to wipe out the damaging record which the Pittsburgh Gazette makes ant against him which record that paper says is above question on the score of truth. As for spiking the opposition gun in Southern Cambria, the second Tuesday of October, will test the truth, of the assertion. If Major General Rousseau was laboring as hard to spike guns in the South as he is to disseminate Abolition principles in Penn sylvania, it would ha much more in keep ing with his calling. There is one ques tion which very naturally says yes to itself to every honest man's mind and it is this: Has Major General Rouqiean resigned his commission, or is he still in the pay and service of the United States? It he is, what business has he enacting the role of the stump speaker, when his services are required in the field ? Why does he not emulate the example of the noble Grant, and not Butler the beauty ? If he wants to enter the political arena, let him tear off his stars and throw up his commission. Exempts is much better than precept, and General Rossean would be much better employed in crushing the Rebellion against the Constitution than waging a war against the Constitution himself, and abusing the honest Democ racy.

Ye toiling and hard working masses, the bone and sinew of the country, who are feeling the effects of this cruel and fra tricidal war, as a burden almost too grievous to be borne ; yon army of honest tax-payers think of all these things when you go to the polls on the second Tuesday of October, and vote for George W.
