Taking advantage of the cessation of labor on Thanksgiving day, we stepped aboard the CouneUaville passenger cars, and tinder the carefal condnotorship of Mr. Cavin were in due time 6afely landed near that ancient boreagh. The weather on Friday being magnificent we took ad vantage of it to visit and examine the coke ovens in the vicinity of Connellsville. The fact of the vast coal deposits in that section of country is known to all j but their immensity, and the bearing they al ready have npon the trade and commerce of Pittsburgh, is but imperfectly compre hended. The Connellsville Railroad fol lows the banks of the Yooghiogheny river, alter passing McKeesport, to its present termini at Connellsville, thus affording an outlet to the coal that lies hidden in al most every hill along the entire route, 1 and already has the trade in coke and coal became so great that the road haa not the facilities for meeting the demand made upon it. To give oar readers a feint idea of the mangmtude of the Yoaghioghony coal mines, as well as the business now doing, we have selected aD accessible tract bor dering upon the railroad for a distance of two miles from which coal and coke may be carried to market either by rail or water. A short distance below the station at Broadford—four miles from Connellsville —Mr. Laughlin has leased a tract of coal, and is now erecting twenty six coke ovens. From these ovens to ‘‘Strickler’s station, ** a distance of two miles the following firms are located: Howell & Cochran, twelve ovens ; Stouf fer, Newcomer & Co.; M. Cochran <fc Son, twelve ovens ; Kennedy Ewing ; Uhland Coal Works, Joseph Bowers, cokes on the ground; Armstrong runs raw coal which isconverted into coke in Pittsburgh. He will shortly erect ovens at the mines. Clinton Coal Works, Graff, Bennett & Co,, coke on the groand; Fayette Coke Works, Stewart btrickler, forty-eight ovens The firms above enumerated either own or lease about three hundred acres of coal. The vein can be worked to a tnick ness ut nine teet of pure coal, and as it raises on leaving the mouth of the open inga, no drainage is required, and but little power to haul it oat. The ovens are all so located that the coke can be readily loaded in cars or boats, and could the road iurnish transportation, tens ol thou sand of buahels would daily find its way to our market. The price of digging coal in that section is much than that paid here —lump, $1 83 per hundred bushel, and that used for burning coke $1 00 Other kinds of labor necessary in getting coal and coke ready for the market is correspondingly low. This, added to the fact that the Yougbiogbeny oohe al ways finds a ready sale, compeusa'es them for their increased expenses in reaching the markets. We have said that the firms now enga ged in the coal and coke business within the distance of the two miles whieh we have mentioned, either own 01. have leas ed about three hundred acres. In order still further to the magnitude of these coal beds, we will give a few statis tics obtained from an intelligent young gentleman with whom we conversed: Starting at the works of LaughliD,at Broad ford, a vein of coal, nine feet in thick ness, extends back from the railroad three miles, where it runs out. From thence down to Strickler's Landing, a distance of about five miles, it gradually narrows. Foliowibg we give the names of those owning the lands underwhich this vein of coal lies, the greater part of which could be mined without injury to the farms, being imbedded so-far below the surface: Own err, No. Acres. | Owners No -.ores.

Strickler’a heir? ..140 Totil. 1.865 AL hough all this coal could he reached from the openings now made, or that could bo made, on the railroad, irneka can be laid along any of the streams which empty into the river, and cars run miles back into the very uncial of the mines. In conclusion, we may add that on the opponite side of the river jast below the coal deposit we have been speaking of, there is a still larger tract which is work ed to a limited extent, and that a short distance above commences the inexhaust ibio mineß which reach up to and irnder Connellsville. With such beds ot coal along ike line of the Connellsville Rail road, who can predict the future of that road, or the magnitude of the trade which will neek an outlet over it? Un the homeward-bound trip we were fortunate enough to meet with conductor Barney Winslow, who brought us to the city ‘‘on time.” This road is fortunate in the choice of its conductors. Mr. Vandenhoff’s Reading. —By the advertisement in our paper to-day it will be seen that Mr. Vandenhoff will read in Concert Hall, od Tuesday evening. Mr. Vandenhoff is so well known here, and hia readiugs have given such great pleasure for many winters paßt, that he is certain of u large audience. To those who have never heard him we can promise a pleas ant evening's entertainment; he is un doubtedly the best reader we have bad here for years, and bis selection are al ways interesting and in good taste. He will read on Tuesday, Bulwer’s play of Richelieu, and Dickens’ sketch, “Mtb. Gamp.’’ Richelieu was introduced upon the Amer ican stage by Mr. Forrest, and is a favor ili- \iih Nlacready and Edwin Booth ; it s l oo .dfl in passages of great beaoty and of a high order ot poetry but is much bet ter !*u ted for reading than the stage. " Lairey Gamp” is known to every one as old woman, with a husky voice and a moist eve, which she had a remark able power ot turning up and only show ing the white of.’ 7 This year the committee, following the plan adopted in other cities, have issued course tickets, and the series promises lo be a brilliant one. Great Western Fair Association. —A Donation Fair, as we have beiore stated, will be held iti Cincinnati on or about the ] r »ib of December, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Sanitary Compria Bioii. Its management will be mostly iu the hands of the ladies, and any church, benevolent society, Ac., throughout the North may elect one of their members as a corresponding member. Before us we have an appeal of the ladies in behalf of the objects of the Fair. They ask not only tor money, but anything that will sell, and that is appropriate to be sold at such a Fair for such a purpose. They ap peat to the widow for her mite, and to the rtch man for his abundance. Shall they appeal in vain? Weather —There was a snow storm yes terday, and l|ft night the streets were qfliiie icy. - i - A Complimentary Benefit to Mrs. Nich ols. —It will be seen by reference to oar advertising columns that a npmber of our most prominent citizens have tendered Emma J. Nichols, of the Continental Old Folks Opera Troupe, a complimentary benefit ihia evening at Concert Hall. This is a deserved tribute to this lady’s excel lence. In the wide range of female vocal ists there is none who have attained so firm a hold npon the affections of an ap preciatory music-loving public as Mrs. Emma J. Nichols. Indeed she is one of the most accompliehed.female artistes who have ever appeared before the public. She has received the unanimous endorse ment not only of her own people, but of foreign countries. She will bring to her aid on the occasion of her benefit this evening the whole strength of the Conti nental Old Folks. Cousin Reuben will be on hand as funny rb ever, and so will the “ Yankee Gal,’’ who occapies a position next to the excellent old gentleman who “ leads the Bingen.” Let Concert Hall be filled to its utmost capacity in token of the high estimation which Pittsburghers hold the beautiful American songstress, Emma J. Nichols. Pittsburghers have always been noted for gallantry and appreciation of female excellence. Let not fail to show it on this occasion, and we feel certain they will not. Passed Through. —Captain Geo. Ahl passed through this city on Saturday last on his way to Fort Delaware from John ston's Island, whitLer he had conveyed three rebel officers. Captain Ahl is a Pittsburgher, and went out over a year since as Uealen&nt in Captain Young's Battery, which has ever since been sta- tioned at Fort Delaware. Some three or fonr months ago Captain Abl organized a company of prisoners who had taken the oath of allegiance, and was at once com missioned captain. In addition he fills the responsible positions of Commissary of Subsistence and • Chief of Ordnance. His company, with its officers, were mus tered into the service for three years. Ru mor has it that a Majjrship awaits this gallant young officer, and in this instance we trust Madam Rumor tells the truth. Pittsburgh Theatre. —The celebrated dramatic equestrian artist, Mr. R. E. J. Miles, makes his first appearance this evening, w.th his highly trained horses, Hiawatha, Watawah, and the comic pony GoHah. The bill offered by them consists of Kookwood, or the Life and Death of Dick Turpin, in which Mr. M. personates the bold and daring highwayman, aided by the entire corps dramalic attached to the establishment. Ihe well known populari ty ot Mr Miles is a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of tb“ entertainment, and the established liberality of the manage ment insures a production of the piece worthy the patronage of our theatre going public A Farce concludes the perfor mances. A Good Juke. —The Chronicle asserts that Mr. Sawyer intends “availing him self ol the Democratic vote to get the nomination ’ for Mayor, and •* unless our (the Chronicle s) exposure of the scheme may induce a change, it will certainly be carried out. ' “CVr exposure of the scheme'' doubtless Settles the matter, and we advige Mr. Sawyer, or any other can didate iv_>r Mayor, to keep their secrets to thems**lv-MH, lest the local ot the Chronicle should "induce a change” by an "expo sure ol the scheme.” DrorvsNE Wat Injunction Case —On the mat , our readers will recollect, he application for an ir junction to re train ihe Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad from building a pier on Duquesne Way was argued si length by .Mr. Hampton for the Railroad Company.

Stanton , Secretary of War Sir: On the 23d instant, at 11.30 a. m., General Grant ordered a demonstration egainst Mission Ridge, to develope the force holding it. ihe troops marched out, formed in order, and advanced in line of battle as if on parade. The rebels watched the forma’ion and movement from their picket lines and rifle pits and the Bummits of Mission Ridge, five hundred feet above us, and thought it was a review and drill, so openly and de liberately, so regular wa* it all done -Tbe line advanced, preceded by skirm ishers, and al 2 o'clock p. m , reached our picket lines, and opened a rattling vollpy upon the rebel pick eta, who replied and ran into their advance line of rifle pits. After them went oar skirmishers, and id.o them, along ihe centra ot ihe line '*>o troops which General Thomas had ho quickly displayed, until we opened fire Prisoners assert that they thooght the movement was a review and genern' drill, and that it whs too late to send to their camps for reinforcements, and that they were overwhelmed by force of numbers. It was a surprise m open daylight. At 8 p. m. the important advance poai tion of Orchard Knob, and the lines right aud left were in our possession, and ar rangements wu> made lor fielding them during the night. Ihe next dAy a l day light, General had rive thousand men acaoss the Tenoesseo, and establish ed on its south hank aod commenced tbs construction ol a pontoon bridge about six miles from Chattanooga. The rebel Rteamer Dunbar was repaired at the right moment and rendered effective aid in this crossing, carrying over six thousand men. By nightfall General Thomas h«*d seized the extremity of Mission Ridge nearest the river, and was entrenching himself. (reuural Howard, with a brigade opened communication with him from Cbattanoo go, on the south side of the river. Skirm ishing and cannonading continued all day on the left and centre. General Hooker gcaled the elopes ot Lockout Mountain and from the valley of Lookout Creek, and drove the rebels aroond the point. He captured some two thousand prisoners and established himßelf high up the mountain Bide in full view of Chattanooga. This raised the blockade and not? steam ers were ordered from Bridgeport to Chat tanooga. They had only run to Kelley's ferry, whence ten miles of hauling over mountain toads and twice acroeß the Ten nessee on to a pontoon bridges, brought us our supplies. All night the point of Mission Ridge on the extreme left t and the aide of Lookout Mountain on the extreme right, blazed with the camp fires of loyal troops. The day had been one of dense mists and rains, and much of General Hooker’s battle was fought above the clouds, which concealed him from our view, but from which his musketry was heard. At nightfall the sky cleared and the foil moon, “the traitor’s doom,” shone upon the beautiful scene, until la m , when twinkling sparks upon the mountain side showed that picket skirmishing was going or. .Then it ceased. A brigade sent from Chattanooga crossed the Chattanooga creek and opened communication with Hooker. General Grant’s headquarters during the afternoon of the 23d, and the day ot the ‘24th, were in Wood’s redoubt, except when m the course of day, he rode aloDg the advance lioe, visitiug the head quarters of the several commanders m Chattanooga Va'ley. At daylight on the 26th the Stars and Stripes were descried on the peak of Look out. The rebels bad evacuated the moun tain. Hooker moved to descend the moun tain, and striking Mission Ridge at the RoSßville Gap to sweep on both aides and on its summit. The rebel troops were seen, as soon as it was light enough, streaming regiments and brigades along the narrow summit of Mission Ridge, either concentrating on the right to overwhelm Sherman or march ing for the railroad and raising the siege. They had evacuated the valley of Chat tanooga. Would they abandon that of Chicamauga ? The twenty-pounders and four and a quarter inch rifles of Wood’s redoubt opened on Mission Ridge. Orchard Knob sent its compliments lo the Ridge, which with rifled Parrott’s answered, and the cannonade tbns commenced continued all day. Shot and shell screamed from Or chard Knob to Missionary Ridge, and from Missionary Ridge to Orchard Knob, and from Wood’s redonbtover the heade of General Grantand Thomas and their staffs who were with ns in this favorable posi tion, from whence the whole battle could be seen as in an amphitheatre. The head quarters were under fire all day long. General Thomas Bent oat skirmishers who drove in the rebel pickets and chas ed them into their entrenchments, add at the foot of Mission Ridge Sherman made an assault against Bragg’s right, entrench ed on a high knob next to that on wjiiclr .ANTHONY UITKI PITTSB URQB. for all Diseases of the For all Diseases of the Priee 75 Oents, PrUe 75 Gent*, TO THE DAII4Y POST, oeived.

Sherman reached the edge o? the crest and held his ground for, it s seated to me, an hour, but was bloodily repulsed by reserves. A general advance was ordered, and a strong line of skirmishers, followed by a deployed line of battle Borne two miles in length. At the signal of leaden Bhots from the headquarters on Orchard Knob, the Line moved rapidly and orderly for ward. The rebel picketß discharged their muskets and ran into their rifle pits. Our skirmishers followed on their heels. The line of battle was not far behind, and we saw the grey rebels swarm out of the ledge line ot rifis pits, in numbers which 'surprised as, and over the baße of the hill. A few turned and fired their pieces, but the greater number collected into the many roads which cross obliquely up its steep face, and went on to their top. Some regimeuts passed on and swarm ed up the steep sides of the ridge, and here and there a color was advanced be yond the lines. The attempt appeared most dangerous, but the advance was sup ported, and the whole liue was ordered to storm the heights, upon which not less than forty pieces of artillery, and uo one knew how many muskets, stood ready to slaughter the assailants. With cheers answering to cheers, the men swarmed upwards. They gathered to the points least difficult of ascent, and the line was broken. Color after color was planted on the summit, while musket and cannon vomited their thuoder upon them. A well-directed shot from Orchard Knob exploded a rebel caisson on the summit, and the gun was seen galloping to their right, its driver lashing his horses. A party ot ohr soldiers intercepted them, and the gun was c .ptured with cheers. Bragg left the house in which he held hie headquarters, and rode to the rear as our troops crowded the hill on either Bide of him. General Grant proceeded to the summit, and there did we only know its height. Some of the captured artillery was put into position. Artillerists were sent for to work the guus. Caissons were searched for ammunition. The rebel log breast works were torn to pieces and carried to the other Bide of the ridge, and used in forming barricades across. A strong line of infantry was formed in the rear ol Baird’s line, hotly engaged in a musketry contest with the rebels to the left, and a secore lodgment was soon ef fected. The other assault to the right of our centre gained the summit, and the rebels threw qowd their arms and fled. Booker ooming in favorable position swept the right of the ridge and captured many prisoners. Bragg's remaining troops left early in the night, bd4 the battle of Chattanooga, after days of manoeuvring and fighting, was won. The strength ot the rebellion iu the centre ts broken. Burnside is re lieved from danger in East Tennessee. Kentucky and Tennessee are rescued. Georgia and the Southeast are threatened in the rear, and another victory is added to the chapter of ‘’Unconditional Surren der Grant.” To night the climate of captures is sev era! thousand of ; nsnners nod thirty pieces of artillery.

M. C. Meigs, Quartermaster General. Washington, Nov 2y.— The Army of the Potomac advanced at six o'clock on the morning of the 27th, from near Ger mania, Culpepper and Jacob’s fords, and formed io line of battle, the centre re6t ing on th* Fredericksbarg turnpike, near Robinson's tavern, they next advanced along t.be plank road, forming a carve to wards Gordonsville. As the centre ad vanced it cameopon the enemy's pickets and skirmished. Subsequently the enemy’s line was strengthened by the arrival of re inforcements from Ewell’s corps on the Rapidan front. About 1 o'clock connon ading commenced on the road leading to wards Orange Court House, and consider able firing took place between the skir mishers. The enemy does not reply with artillery. At four o'clock it was announced that Hill’s corps, which had previously rested on the Rapidan, west of the railroad, was approaching cur centre, and half an hour later heavy musketry was heard on the right. Oar casualties wore lew iu the centre. The only officers of rank known to be killed is Lieut. Col. Heaser ot the 72d Pa. regiment. The battle ground is in a wHderness with bnt little open coun try, consequently, an accurate description of our position cannot bo given ; but it will be perceived we have the ene* my’ i fortified position on the heights Bkirting the Rapidan. Our right can compel them to give battle it' they intend fight upon ground less favorable to us. Gen. Gregg's cavalry and batteries had a severe fight with the enemy’s right wing ot cavalry on Thursday p. m. We drove them back upon their infantry lines, when we were compelled to fall back with a loss said to be about 260 in killed. The 6th corps coming up, the enemy was in turn compelled to retreat. About 60 wounded in the 2d corps ; 5 killed and 7 mortally wounded in the right. General French with the 3d corps, when advancing, encountered Ewell’s corps before he connected with the centre, and after a severe fight held his position but lost heavily. He, however, captured 900 rebels. The 6th oorps was then thrown forward and filled a gap betweeu the cen tra and right. The 6th corps advancing on a plank road was attacked on the flank by the rebel cavalry who destroyed 16 or 20 wagons, killed two men and several muiel On Friday morning ii was found that the rebels had fallen back from our centre to two miles uearer Orange Court House. The above intelligence is up to Friday evening and was brought to Wash ington by a special messenger, who came near being captured by guerrillas. The additional information which has also come to hand through another source states, that the line was formed ou Fri day about noon on the road leading to Orange Court House. Warren’s 2d corps on the turnpike drove the rebel skirmishers beyond Robertson’s tavern and formed the centre. General Prince's division consisting of the 8d corps met a heavy body of Ewell’s corps and fought them several hourß, until the re mainder of the corps came up. Gen. Prinee’s lost heavy, which is estimated at 600 killed and wounded and many prison* ‘-•re, but severely punished the enemy in killed and wounded, and took as General French reports 900 prisoners. Our forces in ibe centre had no severe fighting, and consequently our lobs there w».s small, ex cepting in Gen. Gregg’s cavalry division. It was discovered that the enemy’s centre had fallen back, and their skirmishers in the woods a mile or so nearer Orange Court House. The heavy rain it was thought would hinderany heavy offensive field operations, ! On the Rapidan it was reported that Kil patrick's division, under Gen. Cnstar at tempted to crosß under the enemy’s batter* ies at Raccoon ford or Friday were driven back. Heavy guns were heard there all this p. m., tending to confirm the truth of the report. The enemy showed no artiK lerv on our front on Frida?, and bat Very little owing to the densely wgoflod and nearly level character of the groand* \ known that there was veryusiyiiqinv ishing on the turnpike:at9 o'clock Satur- morning, bat no particulars were re ceired.

Our camp fireß blazed along the crest of the whole ridge, a dis tance of eight miles. Bragg expected to withdraw under cover of night. At dark Bragg was in line of battle to cover the Knoxville railrord. It is believed he won't hazard another battle. Oar amry is aglow a with enthusiasm and eager to pur* sue. Prisoners report the rebel army as terrible demoralized and incapable of of fering any serious resistance; also, that Bragg will fall back to Atlanta. Gen. Brannan occupies Tunnel hill, which com* pletesour line along the whole length of Missionary Eidge. Nashville, November 28.—Capt. Cox, mate and clerk of the steamer Duke were arrested to night, and will be tried by a military commission, charged with cross ing the rebel Col.

Bragg recalled Longstreet from before Knoxville on the 26ib. He is now en deavoring to join that chieftain near Dal ton by a circuitoos route. The situatioa from Knoxville to Bridgeport is all that can be desired. Caj&o, Nov. 28. —Late accounts from the Arkansas river represent that country subjeot to freqaent incursions of con scripting squads of cit izens compelled to band together tor their protection. This state of affairs renders the efforts of the planters ineffectual, and the amount of cotton gathered being small comoared Njith the Bmonut grown.
