Absent of a Supposed Thief. —A man
named McMillen, was arrested on Satur
day evening and taken before Alderman
Donaldson, charged with having Btolen a
gold watch, the property of a Mr. Press
ley. It appears that McMillen offered
the watch for sale to a man named Carr,
who at once recognized it as the property
of Pressley, andas McMillen conldgiveno
satisfactory account as to how it came into
his possession, he had him arrested. A
jeweler, who had a few days since rer air
ed the watch, also identified it. McMil
len was committed.
The o’Neii.i. and Shaw Difficulty.—
In the Criminal Court, on Saturday morn
ing. Geo. E. Shaw, convicted of assault
and battery of D. O'Neill, was fined $76
and ordered to pay the costs of prosecu
tion. Frederick Smith, who, it will be
recollected, was mixed np in the affair,
was at the eame time ordered to pay a fine
of $25, to enter bouds in $3OO to keep
the peace, and to be committed until the
sentence be. complied with. Thus the
matter ends.
Thoughtful —We perceive that many
of our citizens are laying in tbeir winter’s
coal. This exhibits both forethought and
economy upon their parts, as it is the
opinion of many that coal will run up to
a very high figure this winter. Let all
who can. therefore, take advantage of the
present good reads and prices to lay in a
winter stock of this indispensable article.
Colored Recuiting. —Capt, Thos. H.
Beugless, recruiting officer for the 6th
Regiment United States infantry, now sta
tioned at Lafayette Hall, has, since the
20th of August, sent forty colored recruits
to Camp William Penn, Philadelphia.—
This being the only recruiting officer for
colored men in Western Pennsylvania, is
not altogether laudatory of their warlike
enthusiasm. Fred. Donglasa’ eloquence
has not made much impression here.
New Currency.—We learn that a sup
ply of new postal currency is already
printed, and will be issued as soon as
there is a demand lor it by the withdrawal
of the old issue. The new fractional cur
rency will be of the same denominations
as the old, but, instead of being different
rsizes, they will be uniform, of the dimen
sions of the present ten cent postal, but
on better paper, and printed/ with better
ink.
Right Kind of Men.—Rev. M. Gard
ner,.af the Methodist Episcopal Church,
stationed at Curwensville, Clearfield coun
ty, was drafted in that district on the 27th
August. The Clearfield Republican says
that he has announced from his pnlpit hie
intention of obeying the “call.” This is
praiseworthy. We always admire a man
whose practice accords with his preaching.
Tbe Draft.—lt is stated that two or
three days more will finish up the draft in
uiis district. It is supposed that the num
ber of men which will be famished from
Capt. Foster’s department will not exceed
five or six hundred; “Greatcry and little
wool.”
Pocket Knives, —If you really wish to
get a first class pocket knife—one that will
either shave or cut corns—purchase one of
Pittock. opposite the Post Office, who has
■a magnificent assortment on hand, newly
received from Europe. By all means, got
cue from Pittopk.
pitai.s, Penitentiary, &c.
A committee of the State Senate, com
posed of Senators HcCandless, Stein and
White, was appointed last winter, to ex
amine into the condition of the institutions
owned by the State or to which Bhe makes
appropriations. Senator White, (who is
a Major in the Union Army,) is now a
prisoner at Richmond, and Mesßrs. Mc-
Candless and Stein have been in this city
for the last two weeks, discharging their
duties.
They have visited Dixmont, Pasaavanta’,
and Infirmary, the Pennsylvania, and the
Mercy Hospitals, the House of Refuge,
&c., and have made patient and thorough
researches, and have received written an
swers to the questions they submitted.
They expressed themselves much pleased
with the order, regularity, and efficiency
with which the various institutions are
managed, and we anticipate a flattering
report concerning all of them.
The committee closed their labor by
visiting the Penitentiary on Thursday,
where, as in the other cases, they made
a careful examination, and manifested en
tire satisfaction with all they saw there.
The treatment of the Rebel Prisoners re
ceived their attention, and they evinced
much astonishment in finding how very
different from the actual facta were cer
tain verbal and printed reports in regard
to this matter, and reflecting on the civil
and military officers having custody of
these men.
The committee departeu for their re
spective homes, and will meet in a few
days at Harrisburg to continue their la
bors.
Shocking Accident. —On Thursday af
ternoon, an accident of a shocking nature
occurred in the rolling mill of Messrs.
Jones A Laughlin, Brownstown. A Ud
named Dougherty, who waa employed in
the mill, was accidentally caught in one of
the rolls, and dragged in feet foremost.—
The machinery was running very slowly
at the time, but the rolls drew him gradu
ally in until both legs were crushed off,
close to the body. The apace bei the
rolls wropo small that the bones and flesh
were croaked alike in the flattening pro
cess- A workman who saw the accident, ;
seized the boy, to prevent his body from
being drawn through the rolls, and while
ho held on to him the engineer was noti
fied to atop the engine, which was done.—
The bey was then extricated from hia
painful situation, but hie injuries are of
auch & nature as to render hia recovery
almost hopeless.
On tho same afternoon the engiueer,
Mr. Botan, while engaged in fixing the
doctor, had two of his fingers bad! v smri,vh
ed. had hold of some port c( the
machifiary, and sent a man to stop off the
steam* But instead of doing bo he turned
it on with greater force, thus causing the
accident.
Desirable Property at Private Sale. -
The reader will recollect that au adver
tisemeut recently appeared in the coiums
of the Post for the sale, at public outcry,
ou the Bth in star, t, of that very valuable
and desirablo farm siunue in Courtiers
township, Allegheny county, containing
about fifty ucre?. On the day set apart
for the sale only one half of the property
was disposed of, aDd the remainder is now
offered at private sale on reasonable terms.
This property is one of the most desirable
now in the market, being but three and a
half miles from the city, and within twen
ty minutes walk of the Pitta! urgh k
Steubenville Railroad. The land is of the
first quality for gardening and farming
purposes, is well improved, and will be
sold at a bargain. For further particulars,
enquire of John D. Scully at the Pitta
burgh Trust Co., or of Cornelius Scully,
on the premises.
Theatre. —The beautiful sensation
drama of the “Colleen Bawn,” one cf
Bourcicauit's great works, is to be pre
sented to our citizens, to night, with all
its original and.beautiful effects, with new
music, new machinery, uew proiurtips,
&c., eo we see by the advertisement. We
are reliably informed that this is the drama
originally written end produced by I)ion
Bouicicault himself, and ia played here
to-night under that gentleman’s direct
sanction. Miss Susan Demn, who was so
very successful last week, appears in the
part of Eily O'Connor, and siuge two or
three beautiful songs..
City and Sunn bran Improvements.—
We intend shortly to devote a portion of
our space to a notice of some of the im
provements that have recently been and
now are making in the two cities, adjoining
borough* aud adjacent suburbs. Not
withstanding we are in the midst of a
desolating civil war, the march of im
provement around us seems to have
bat little, if any, retarded. If any evidence
was wanting of the energy and perseve
rance of our people, no matter what the
difficulties which surround them, these
facts would furnish it in abundance.
Personal. —J. H. Latsbaw, chief dark
in the chief Quartermaster’s Department,
6th Army Corps, ib now on a brief visit
to his friends in this city. He is in the
enjoyment of excellent health, and repre
sents the Army as in fine condition and
Bpirits. He returns to his duties on
Thursday next and will take with himauy
letters or light packages to such members
of the Penna. Reserves as are in the sth
Array corps if left with his brother, B, F.
Latshaw, at the Commercial office, or
Geo. Sheffler, No 101, Smithfield street.
Trimble’s Varieties.— The manager of
this ever popular place of amusement,
with a desire to keep up with times, will
produce, this evening, for the gratification
of his patrons, the “Ghost.” We don’t
know that it ia Prof. Pepper’s famous
Patent Ghost, bat no doubt it is a Ghost
equally amusing and satisfactory to an
audience. The Ghost will be supported
by the whole strength of the talented com
pany, including Miss Agnes Sutherland,
the Scottish Nightingale, a lady who has
already become exceedingly popular as a
vocalist.
German Trust and Saving’s Bank
This successful institution has moved
into its handsome new building, corner
Sixth and Wood streets, where it will
carry on the banking business in all its
branches. The success and popularity
which has attended the rise of the German
Trust Company, is a true index of the
great confidence reposed in it by the pub
lic. We commend it to all business men.
Sanford’s Opera Troupe. —The Pitts
burgh public have already been made ac
quainted with the fact that fhe far famed
Sam. Sanford’B Opera Troupe commence
a.short engagement at Masonic Hall this
evening. Sanford has always been a fa
vorite with the Pittsburgh public, and if
his company at all comes up to what it is
represented, crowded houses await him.
Arrf.sted. —James Carneß was arrested
in this city, on Saturday afternoon, charg
ed with horse stealing. It is alleged that
the accused stole a valaabje horse from
the pasture field of J. Chamberlain, in
Bedford county, one night last week. He
was taken to Bedford for trial.
Trial of a Minister.— The trial of
the Rev. William Jackson, before the Uni
ted Presbyterian Presbytery of Chartierß,
will take place on Tuesday, September
15th, at the church of Mr. French, in
Canonßburg.
Advance, the Rates. —The draymen of
the two cities held a meeting, on Friday
night, and detei mined to advance the
price of drayage.
Cattle Yards.— The Penna. R. R. Co.
are erecting new cattle yards upon an ex
tensive scale near East Liberty.
If George Marriei is in the city,by call
ing at the St, Charles he can see his
brother.
Merited Prado-’ — In speaking of the
Iron City College- o' IVI »urgh. Pa , the
well known author and dioioguishcd ec
countant, John Fleming, who has bad a
practical business experience of forty
years standing, says:— U I am acquainted
with a great many of the Graduates of this
College, yet I never knew one who was
not an accomplished accountant and a
skillful book-keeper. This, though high
praise, is well deserved, for it is now
pretty generally known and admitted, that
the Iron City College has no equal in this
country as a first class Commercial
•School-
Important. —Oar manufactures, steam
boatmen, bnsinesa men, and all others
interested, are referred to an order in
another column, issued by Maj. General
Banks, on the 3rd inst., declaring the
trade of the city of New Orleans with
Cairo, St. Louie, and the cities and towns
of the Upper Mississippi, the Missouri
and Ohio rivers, free from any military
restriction whatever. There is more in
this than is apparent at a first view..
Washing Pavements. —ln Philadel
phia the ordinance enforcing the wash
ing of the pavements goes into effect on
the first day of May and ends with the
first day of October. We believß that
ihere is no special enactment on the sub
ject iu this city, so that those who delight
in scrubbing the bricks are at liberty to
do bo the year round, oftentimes at the
expense of shinning boots and extra long
skirts.
Drowned. —On the lid inst., a young
man named Josiah Vanvoorhes, son of
Newton Vanvoorhes, of Washington coun
ty. was drowned in the Monongahela
river, near Coostown. Young V. had
gone over to Cookßtown in a skiff with
some friends, and on their way back the
skifl wa3 overset and the unfortunate
man being unable to swim waß lost. His
body was recovered after some hours.
Is It So ?— lt has been estimated that
conscripts will cost the Government
our or five thousand dollars apiece. If
ii sbe so —which Beems almost incredible
—the same amount would have procured,
as volunteers, five times the number of
Still Living —Daniel Fickißen, the
unfortunate roan who bo rashly undertook,
a few days 6ince, to commit self-destruc-
tion, was still living, last evening, though in
bo criticrd a condition that but a faint hope
of his recovery was entertained.
Dysentery. —A disease call
ed Kpho d dysemery is prevailing to ao
alarming extent in Cecil and Peters town
ships, Washington county,
Rk opened.— Asbury M. E. Church was
re-opened fur religious services yesterday.

New York, Sept.. 12. —The World says*
Our correspondent in the Department of
General Banks gives us, in a private note,
intimations of a highly important move
ment which has just been set on foot in
that Department. Until further advanced
we do not feel at liberty to give any de
tails. We shall publish full particulars at
the earliest moment'that it may seem pru
dent. We may at present say that the
movement is ono which, if successful,
will be productive ot results of the high
est importance.
The TForW'jj special, dated Washington,
September 11, says : Jlumors have been
current to day that Charleston hna been
burned, but they can Dot bo traced to any
reliable source. We have, however, an
thority lor staling that Gen. Gillmore was
determined that it, when he got iuto poa
session of Morris Island, Gen. Beaure
gard did not Burrendet, he would throw
incendiary shells into the city, forthepur-
P* se 01 destroying it as the cover and base
ot Bnpplies tor ifao Confederate forces.
Cincinnati, September 12. —The Com
uurcial says:—The work on the military
railroad from Nicholoaville, Ky., to Knox
ville, 'lVan., has commenced, and will be
pushed forward with great rapidity. A
thousand men to the ntile will soon be
employed. Negro laborers have bnen im
pressed alone the line of the road, eveiy
third slave being taken. They will be
clothed and paid. The unemployed blacks
wlio have corno into ibe Federal lines in
the Southern States are being sent to la
bor on ili.s road. They will be paid one
'bird wages, tbo balance being reserved
to aid in providing them homes in a for
tign country when the war is over. The
city of Louisville has subscribed six hnn
drod thousand dollars to the Lebanon
branch, and throughout the State the
hear,it- :. o operation will be given to th-
great entei j rise.
An excursion train on the western di

New York, September 12—2 o’clock
a. m — The steamer “Evening Star,’’ from
New Orleans ou tho 6th arrived at one
o’clock. She was detained nine hours by
Gen. Banks to carry dispatches. On
September 6ib, in the Mississippi, sne

grand levee at the residence of Gen. Bucks
on tho evening of tho 4th. ibe troops

junen received are not of a formidable
na.ure.
Nkw Yoke, Sept. 12 —A special to the
Tribune from Cincinnati says that Geu.
Burnside, upon completing tho redemp
tion of East Tontn-snee, tendered his res
ignation to the Department by telegraph.
It is supposed that he had contemplated
it tor some time, in couseqaence of the
constant political perplexities that beset
him iu the administration of bis depart
ment, through the r* pudialion of certain
of his measures by the Government, but
diil not tak-* the s’.up : il! ho could leave
the service without discredits to himself,

Memphis, Soptembea —Official advi
ces from Gen. Steel to September 2, had
reached Brownsville. Everything is
workiug welt, and fhe prospect of com
plete success ia fi ittering. The rebel
forces in Missouri are becoming more
active, and frequent skirmisbes with our
cavalry, who are watching them, occur.
Deserters and refugees, with reports of
suffering and disaffection towards the reb
el cause, come into our lines daily. The
weather is extremely hot. Reports of
guerrillas firing on steamers below are tre
queut, but no damage of consequence has
been reported.
Fortres Monroe, Bept. 12. The
steamer Massachusetts has arrived from
Charleston Bar, on the evening of the
91b. On the Bth, the Weehawken sent
shell into Fort Moultrie, and tho magazine
exploded in it. The Ironsides sent shell
into Moultrieville, firing aud destroying
hall tho town. The Monitors and Iron
sides bombarded Sullivan’s Island four
hours, doing extensive damage. On the
Bth, at 11 p. m., a boat expedition left
the squadron to storm Fort Sumter, but
were repulsed with a loss of a number of
killed, wounded and prisoners.
New York, Sept. 12,—The Arago, from
Charleston on Wedneflday evening, has
arrived. The Ironsides and Monitors are
Btill shelling Monltrie, and Sumter had
not surrendered. The Union troops were
erecting works to shell Charleston. No
attack on the city had been yet made.
New York, Sept. 12.—A Times special,
dated Washington, Sept. 11, Bays: De
setters from the several armies had better
take timely notice of their coming dis
grace, particularly that frightfully great
host of absentees from the Army of the
Potomac. Their names will soon be pub
lished in the newspapers of the several
States, by districts, and the character of
military felons of the worßt grade will be'
fastened upon them ineffaceably and for
ever, The War Department is determined
to spare no efforts to return them to their
fields of duty.
New York, September 12. —The Adri
atic has arrived, but her news is anticipa*
ted. The Tribune's special from Wash
ington says : It is not true, as stated in a
London letter and published by one of
your cotemporaries, tnat one of the Anglo
rebel rams sailed from England daring the
last week. Government official dispatch
es of quite ss late a day as could have
been reeeived by aßy newspaper corres

of tbe bombardment of Fort Moultrie by

The firing bad continued all day Tuesday,

Tuesday at daylight, was kept up daring
the day. Though the facts are net posi
tively known, there U no doubt in the
mieda of persona woo witnessed the ex
plosion of the magazine, that even if it

on onr forces there, and which began on
the rnortr.i g after the c-vacustion by Beau

uous. Our forces do not occupy, in force,
the captured rebel forts.
It «* represented that the rebel works

his after operations. He can use the
Ground, which he is already doing in spite
of the firo, aud when tho new batteries in
progress are completed, there is scarcely
a position in the harbor but will be com
manded by bis guns. while Charleston*
will be within eo3y shelling distance. The
immediate tall of the city is uot, however,
expected. A novel mode of removing ob
structions has been adopted by Gen. Gill
more, namely, tho employment, of rebel
prisouere in this duty. It is justly sup
pofced that tho rebels know quite as well,
i! not better, how to handle their owq in
ternal machines than do the Union men,
and tbeir risks may possibly be lees. Onr

New York, September 13.— A Morria
Inland letter of the sth to the Herald,
gives an account of the recent boat expe
dition againßt- Sumter. The flotilla con
sisted of between-20 and 30 boats, manned
by over 100 sailors, under Lient. Com
mander Williams of the Wissahicken, and
100 marines under Capt. M’Anley. The
entire force was commanded by Comman
der Stevens of the monitor Patapsco. The
boats was towed within a short distance of
thelcrtresa, whence they advanced. Three
boats nnder Commander Williams. Lieut.
Reams and Enßign Porter landed, and the
parties attempted to run up the ruins to
the parapet. They were fared upon by
muaketry, and hand grenades thrown down
upon them. The slope was so sharp, they
were unable to reach the parapet, A sig
nal was given from the forts and in an in
stant all the rebel batteries were opened
on the fort and Bhelled it terrifically.
Three boats were smashed and all who
landed were killed or captured. Lient.
Bradford of the marines, was mortally
wounded and captured. Commander
Williams, Lieut. Preston, Lieut. Brown,
Lieut Bnnce, Dr. Wheeler, Ensign Aid
eu and Ensign Porter were captured. 40
or 60 sailors and marines were killed and
wounded and the entire list of casnalities
will number 80. The remainder of the
command retired in safety. A flag of
truce states that our captured officers aad
men were in Sumter and well treated.
It affords a good cover to our men, and
has already sustained a heavy fire of the
rebel batterieß without the least damage.
The same correspondent highly eulogizes
the Ironsides, whose broadsides against
Moultrie he had never Been equalled in
rapidity and effect. She was uninjured,
though struck about two hundred times.—
The Time?' correspondent with the Army
of the Potomac, writes on the 10th, that
it is believed that one corps of Lee’s army
or about one third of the army nndei
Longstreet, is moving to Richmond, there
to be transferred. Two- divisions to the
southwest and one to Charleston. Hood's
division left Fredericksburg Tuesday last,
for Richmond, and thence for Charleston.
This seems to indicate that the rebels in
Virginia will remain entirely on the defen
sive for the coming campaign, which ev
.ery one here counts upon before winter.
Washington Sept 13.—A private note
received here to-day from off Charleston,
says: About 850' men composed the
recent expedition to Fort Sumter, and
only a portion of the force landed, some
of the boats having grounded on the
shoals. But for this there would proba
bly have been a different result.

There is n*> firing of any consequence at

Last night 30; of the launches of the
fleet attacked Fort Sumter. Preparations
had been made for the event. At a con
certed signal all the batteries bearing on
Fort Snmter, assisted by the gnn boats
and a ram, were thrown open. The ene

prisoners, including thirteen officers.
Cairo, September 11. —The Memphis
Bulletin, of the 9th, announces the arri
val of the steamer Groesback from Vicks
burg. The Washita expedition, consist
ing of the greater part of Gen. Logan’s
old brigade, a regiment of cavalry and
a battery of artillery, had returned from a
thorough reconnoisance through thenorth
<tu portion of Louisiana laying adjacent
to the Washita River. No organ’zed force
o’ the enemy was found. A detour wag
made to the nertt east, in the direction of
the village of Eldorado, Ark. A large
number of Confederate soldiers came vol
untarily into our lines and surrendered.
About twenty-five of these came up on
Groesback! They report matters in
mi? tepartment as looking quite gloomy.
The old conscription laws are'totally in
adequate. Kirby Smith, commanding in
West Mississippi, has called on all the
old men to rally to his assistance, promis
ing that their services will not be needsd
more than sixty days, as by that time the
fate of the West will be decided. The
wreck of the Courier, burnt by the guer
rillas, prevent her being raised.
Nkw \orx, Sept. 12, —Washington spe
cials state that Mrs. Leech, wife of the
Superintendent of the Tredagar Iron
Works, haß arrived from Richmond. The
evacuation of East Tennessee by the Con
federate forces, caused the greatest sur
prise and gloom at Richmond, as all were
anticipating battle there instead of the
peaceable occupation by the Union forces.
Iroops from Lee's army had been arriv
tng quite freely. Their destination was
unknown.
There was a general belief that Charles
ton would be captured. It is rumored
that Secretary Chase will celebrate the
capture ot Charleston by the resumption
of specie payment at. the U. S- Treaeury.
ihv receipts of gold are said to be enor

ment was resumed the demand for gold
Id cease, while the actual cost of the
would be reduced one million dollars

:t is not very reliable.
l.i.avknworth, Sept. 12.—The steamer
Shreveport arrived from Upper Missouri
last night. She left fteneral Sibley’s com
mand, August 24th. He was then march
ing to a point eighty miles above where
about Bix thousand Sioux were
with the intention of capturing oi destroy
irg them. The Indiana were very hostile
ull the way down to Fort Pierra, near the
mouth of Yellow Stone. The crew and
Indians had three heavy fights, in which
three ct the former und forty of the latter
were k-died. Nearly every place where
the boat attempted to wood, they found
Indmns prepared to attack them. On
several occasions the crew were compelled
to cut cable and let the boat float into the
stream. The party of men who started
down on flu boats from Milk River, is
supposed to have been killed by Indians.'
Washisuton, Sept. 12.—There will be
no drnft in Indiana under the present
ctdl. She has furnished 93,895 three
year’s troops.
Her quota under the call of the Gov
ernment, was 62,932, making an excess in
favor of the State of 28,501.
The number enrolled in the first class
under the preseut draft, is 134,163,
One filth of the number is the quota
called for by the government, nominally,
26,832, which is 1,669 less than the num
ber furnished by tho State of three year’s
men in 1801 and 1862.
Gov. Washburn, to-day, accomplished
the object of his visit to Washington, the
settlement of the question as above stated.
Fortress Monr >k, Sept. 12.—A flag
of truce was received from City Point this
evening. The Richmond Enquirer, of the
10th inst., says the office, types and press
es of the Raleigh Standard, edited by
Win. Holden, have been destroyed by a
party of Georgia soldiers. Mr. Holden
was in Petersburg at the time. In return
for this outrage, the citizens and friends
of the Standard destroyed the office of the
State Journal. Governor Vance reached
the. spot after the work of destruction was
entirely completed, and begged the crowd
to desist, rebukiDg them for the act, and
telling them that no such example had been
set in Lincoln's dominions.
Charleston, September— 9. The en
emy is silent to-day. Gen. Beauregard
refuses to have any communication with
the Yankee flag of truce until an explana
tion is given of their firing on onr flag of
truce.
We took the original flag of Fort Sum
ter which Major Anderson was compelled
to lower and which Dahlgren had hoped
to have replaced.
Charleston, September 10. —There
was no firing last night, except from our
batteries. The enemy is working hard on
Morris Island. All is quiet this morning.
Atlanta, September 8. —Our cavalry
fronts the enemy near Athens. There iB
nothing from Chattanooga to-day. Ex
tensive preparations are now being made
by the Yankees to send an expedition
against Magruder and Taylor in Louisiana.
The following naval officers were cap
tured on the walls of Fort Sumter: Lieut.
E. P. Williams, Lieut. T. W. Preston,
Lieut. G. C, Reamy, Lieut. D. L. Meade,
Ljeut. Bradford and Ensign B. H. Potter.

We have used tho Wheeler & Wilson Sewing

your machines in one room, and yet such is the
quietness, that conversation can be oarned on in
an oruinary tone of voice. They arc edapfced*to
every portion of our work;, sewing equaly well
upon the lightest mosh'n and our l eaviest work,
consisting of nine thickness a. Ave.of them being
of Bair cloth, two of common cotton cloth, and
two of starched tape. Itsspeed i* unexampled.
W>th one. a person can accomplish as mu-h as
twelve pertons without it, and twice as much as
by aod other machine. Une thousand yards of
straight aeam, tec stitches to the inch, is an ordi-.
cary day's work'of ten hours.. We have run i* as
