OUR STREETS, AND CUT PRIDE.— Of our city's prosperity, her increasing wealth and population, her fame abroad of being the Manchester of America—the great forge ot the Union—the former workshop of the South—we are proud, very proud. We can lay our-hand on no other city in the North, and say by the swat of your brow you are what you are; by no gigan tic haphazard speculation have you amass ed your solid riches; through =o seaboard advantages, no fashionable impetus, no inevitable accumulations of time,•or pri ority of settlement, have you achieved your present reputation. The Vulcan of the North—the forger of the thunderbolts of war—she stands a power, felt in every department of the government, and recog nized by it as of vital importance in its present struggle for existence. Of this we are justly proud; we are confident of all her resources, and of her brilliant pros pects in the future, knowing that no de ceptive evanescent feverglows through her healthy arteries of trade. Bat here we stop—thus far shalt thou go and no far• ther. Does she bear on her dusky form evidences of her financial success ? Is she clothed in a garb suitable to her wealth— to which she can look with pride, and to whom, on a stranger's sojourn, she can point withont.shame ? With pain we say no. With few exceptions, the same dilap idated warehouses are still occupied as they were twenty years ago. The dwell ings, a few of those recently built except ed, are annually rejuvenated with a little paint and no more. In architecture— the ancients' pride—the criterion of modern taste—we are far behind other cities of less pretensions. Nev York, Philadelphia, New Orleans,St. Louis, Charleston Savannah ! Mobil, Nashville, Richmond, Cincinnati, Louisville, Cleve land, and dozens ot other cities, both north and South, can point with pride to heir noble mansions, stately edifices and !and warehouses. We can point to none hat can compete with them in any shape irs form. Their public thoroughfares, rom the advanced valuation of property, tre improved precisely with the ratio of 'aluation. Increase of wealth increases mprovement. Look at our streets Do we see anything suggestive of pride, of wealth, taste and refinement? Our busi tess streets, overshadowed by two stories ind a half, ornamantcd every half square oy a twenty feet front, four storied, cor deed, improved building. Oar humpbacked principal thoroughfare —Fifthstreet—shoots out, certainly, prom sing buds of public spirit; but we can numerate no more than eight of these suds of promise. Yet property on Fifth treet is now the most valuable in the city 'hen, why in the name of all that is sea ible and practical, are not those misera le rickety hovels that disgrace both sides f the street torn down, and in their places e erected buildings that will vie at least 'ith those fewof recant date.

James las not visited the house as frequently as he rest of the family. When James vie ted the,bouse previously, he was received ay the doctor pretty friendly. She did lot know whether James came (on Sept. let,) withLal bad design. She was sure he lid not come with the design of killing the looter. ,The doctor said that on Monday, a the presence of Mr. Dougherty. He said hevoras perfectly satisfied, and when as (Dougherty) asked the doctor which was in the fault, the doctor made a motion to his own breast. He said "no" distinct ly ; that - James, was not to blame. The doctor had always enjoyed good health be fore this time. She knew of no blows lifter they fell.

The jury then adjourned and met at the office of Doctor Walter, corner of Sixth and Cherry alley. Doctor Walter made the following state ment : I attended Doctor McGrath since last Saturday at 10 or 11 o'clock. When I first called upon I;dm, I found him suf fering from symptoms' of congestion of the brain, and upper part of the spinal mar row. He complained of a violent pain in the lett side of the head, and extreme gid diness. He had a high fever. There was a mark on the left side of his forehead about the seat of the principal pain, apparently by something striking there. He was conscious when I first saw him. He said that he received the injury on Tuesday, that his brother in-law, James, came up to his room in the third story where he was lying in bed; and he hearing him come, opened the door, and before he knew anything, he (Dr. McG. ) received a powerful blow on the forehead between the eyes. He was momentarily stunned, and in the act of defending himself, the balustrade gave way, and his brother-in - law and himself were precipitated down stairs ; he was stunned again, but recover ed again, bleeding profusely from the nose: his forehead and eyes were "black F riPd until I was called in he attended 1. .1 , self. Dr. Crawford testified as follows: I was called in on Monday to see Dr. Mc- Grath. I found him in bed; his speech was gone so he was not i able to speak. He was partially insensible—there was a par alysis. Both of his eyes looked very black, as if he had been struck by a per sons fist. I saw the mark of a blow on his head—a contusion on the scalp. I had no conversation with the doctor as to what caused it. I learned the fact of what causee it (the wound) from the wife. Doc for Walter and I, had a consultation in the case. We thought the case was almost hopeless on seeing him on Monday. ki.'e agreed as to treatment. The wife seemed to be anxious as to what would be the re sult to her brother, if Doctor McGrath died. John Barry was then examined. He said that on Sept. lat. doctor McGrath told him while lying in bed, unwell, come one rapped:at one of the doors: that he opened the door next to the top of the stairway, thinking it was one of the chid rent but as soon as he had opened the dos-r, he was struck at by James with his fit.: they then both clinched; that the Et:li rway being narrow, the force of the two men broke the balustrade, and both went down.

James was never arrested. died' if" tr ElCOailatid. with doctor McGrath; Itave known hint for several years, at least over five yeare: I could not say whether he was o._drinkingonan; do not know whether he was ever under the influenca of liquor. On Monday morning, at 11 -o'clock, I WAS called over and heard a conversation between him and his lady, I'-was up stairs in the third story; I seked the doctor how the' scrape took place between him and James Boland. he said something very unutterable that I could not understand; his lady then asked him, - "Do you blame Jas. „Boland for your in. juries?"

IN TowN.—We•notice that Mr. H. Rid dle. Major in the redular army, and now on Gen. Mead's staff, is in town on a far • lough, and looking much improved since his last visit. Major Riddle, taough quite young; is considered one of the most effi• dent and energetic o&cers that Pennsyl vania can boast of. Pittsburgh ought to be proud of the gallant, rising young soldier.

EL Correction The following commanicition corrects a misstatement which appew , -d in a news pm.agratth in a resent number of tie Chronicle. We may alEo state that we learn frOm Titian J . C,tifey. Esq., Acting Attorney General for the United States from whom we had the pleasure of a visit to day, that Major White, of the 76th, is now a prisoner in Richmond, and still a member of the State Senate. Re is a tried and gallant officer, and we cheerfully make the correction asked for: KITTANNING, Sept. 5. 1863 Ma. MOKNIOHT:-I notice in your pa per of this date, that Major Henry A. White, of the 13th Pennsylvania Cavalry, who was dismissed the service for drunk enness and conduct prejudicial to good or der and military discipline, was the same Major Henry White who was late a mem ber of the Pennsylvania State Senate. This is an error. Major White, late of the State Senate, belongs to the 76th Pennsyl. vania Infantry, Col. Stanton's regiment, and eon of Judge White, of Indiana coun ty, Pennsylvania, and was taken prisoner at, or near Winchester at the time that Gen. Milroy evacuated that place, and is now a prisoner in Richmond. Henry A. White, of the 13th, was taken prisoner at the same place. I make this correction in justice to Major White, who is a cor rect gentleman and an excellent officer, and still in the service, and his many friends will be pleased to learn that he is not the person referred to. HUGH KELLY, Late Lieut. in the 13th Penn. Cavalry.
