LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Cold Weather--The Gas. Since the late cold spell set in we, in common with many others, have been much annoyed by the freaks of our gas. Notwithstanding all the attention we have given, at times it burns dimly, and has. upon several occasions left us in total darkness. This is not only annoying, bat a great drawback in getting out our paper promptly and properly. We trust we shall in future escape such difficulties. City Election. The election on Tuesday, as we stated yesterday, came off quietly. There was very little interest taken in it, and the vote polled is small, compared with that given on previous similar occasions The Re• publicans were sure of success, and hence did not turn out in their strength, and the Democrats, feeling pretty sure of defeat, concluded, many of them, to stay away from the polls. It will be seen that Low. rye majority over Hunter is some 1400, and that all the Republican ward tickets are elected except five members of Council in the Third ward.

The only question considerd in the case was "whether a corporation is responsible for au injury occasioned by the negligence of contractors with it, cr of their agents and servants. By an Act of Assembly of April 22d, 1858, the Select mid Common Councils cf the City of Pittsburgh were authorized, whenever they should deem it necessary, to cause sewers to be constructed in any Street of the City, arid, for !la payment of the cost, levy an asasssmAt upon the property be-nefitrucl, Iv pursuance of the act, an ordinance was passed on the ':.sth of Oct., 15.58, providing for the construction of a s -war in St. ('lair street, and on the let of June, 185:), a written Contract for its cm,,ti notion was entered into with Allen t Kerr, Contractors, by which they cov enanted to bu,;(l or construct a brick Pf w er, with all necessary inlets, and to fur inch all the materials therefore, for stipn• lated pris•es for the excavation, replacing over the sewer, removing surplus mate riai, repaving, for brick and Stone work and for irn , ), rtml thi-y agreed that the mat• - •rial, wcrlimm..h:p to/I t•xcavanun b,. sa:l6l.tcl.:,ry t.. the Itecording Regulator... ~ e° d 1 tie cintrnrtore went t, work and not withetau-hing tw, ry care, the husband of ,he plaintiff fell into the excavation on the night of the 28. h of June, 1859, and rece..ved hurts which caused his death. The verdict of the jury determines that the itjury was not a consequence in whole or in part of hie negligence, but was caused ectaely by the negligence of the contractors or of their agents or servants. "Is the ,ity liable? We think not. The wrong was not done by any servant of the delendabt. There is no room for the upplication of the principle responde at superior. ihe defond„eits had no con trol cr r the a n employed by the con tiat-tul.) or over the contractors them selves. Ihey ceuh.t r.ot dismiss them or ar, et :nett- work. iho excavation was cod there was a superior to 'ho werkmen, to v.l:, the contractor,' 1 here cet.uot be more than one superior, re , poosible. Judge S.rong, in rendering the decis ion said: "The public will be better protected if it he held that the contractor alone is responsible 1. r his negligence, and that the city does trot stand between him and any person injuted. Thus he he taught caution, while a sufferer by the negligence of his servants will not be compelled to resort for compensation to the insolvent servants. By reason and authority we are led to the conclusion to which the District Court came, that the defendants (city of Pittsburgh) are not liable for the negligence of Allen dc Kerr, their contractors. The judgment is of firmed." WEEKLY REVIEW OF TELE OIL Busttass. —The market, says the Oil City Register of the 31st ult., has been quite inactive during the past week, in consequence of the river being closed at several points by ice. Ou Saturday it began to rain and continued until Sunday, which thawed the ice sufficient to break it loose from the shores, and on Monday the river was filled with it. But the river did not rise enough to carry out the great gorge at Horse Creek, until Tuesday night, when it broke loose and came down with irreaistable force sweeping every obstacle before it. Some four thousand barrels of oil were run out of the creek on Tuesday ; nearly all of it, together with some twenty-five empty boats and barges were carried out of the eddy or sunk in an hour. Since the weather has moderated, holders on the creek are much firmer, but as yet no material advance has taken place in prices. In the absence of material trans actions. we aive the nominal quotation at $3 500 A 00 - 0 bbl. at the wells, and $4 60(5 f)0, bbl. at this point, in bulk, and $7 5008 00, bbls. included. HoNORABLE MENTION.—Among others Gen Rosecrans gives praise to the follow!. ing officers, one of whom, Col. M'Kibben, is a Pittsbnrgher, and the other a Penn sylvanian. tie says: Col. J. C. M'Kib ben, A. D. C., is always efficient, gallant and untiring, and fearless in battle. Col. J. Palmer, 15th Pennsylvania cav alry, and his command have rendered very valualie service in keeping open communications and watching the move ments of the enemy, which deserve my warmest thanks. GEN. HAYS. —A number of the friends of Brigadier Gen, Alexander Hays, of this city, commanding the 3d division of the 2d Army Corps, took a recent occasion of expressing their appreciation of his bray• ery and skill, by presenting him with mag nificent sword. Gen. Hays is one of the the very best officers in the army, and should be a Major, instead of a Brigadier General. A PITTSBCRGHER.—Henry C. Johnson, who has been nominated by the National Union members of the House for Speaker, (which is equivalent to an election,) is a native of Pittsburgh. Among other offices which he has held were those of District Attorney of Crawford county, Pa., in 1847, and Attorney General of New Mexico in 1861. He was elected to the Legislature from Crawford county for the session of 863, and was reelected in October last. ,'- DEMOORATIr; n" - 4.4I.NBERVATITE EXECII• TIYE COMMITTEE OF ALLEGHENY CITY.- Capt.

STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION.—The boiler in the tannery in East Liberty, formerly I owned by Mr. Himbleright, used for the heating of vats, exploded on Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock. The boiler was blown four hundred yards from the tan nery, in its passage breaking the glass in the Presbyterian church, cutting two Lombardy populars off, passing within ten feet of the village school house, con• taming some seventy or eighty scholars, and alighting in the premises of Mr. John Aikens, at the distance above stated. The man who attended the engine was out of the building at the time, but two of the men, who were working in the yard, re ceived slight injuries. The building was levelled to the ground by the explosion. WILLIAMS' PANORAMA. OF THE BIBLE.- This performance, now on exhibition at Masonic Hall, is really one of the most beautiful and interesting of such paintings that has ever been in Pittsburgh. It is the work of a genuine artist, the product of five years' caretul labor.

Such infor mation cannot but convey to the Minds of both old and young, mach useful inetruc tion, at the same time offering a beautiful and pleasing entertainment. There will be exhibitions every evenirg of this week, and on Saturday afternoon. S.D ACCIDENT.—A lady by the name of Smith, wife of Mr. Wm. Smith, tobacco nist on Pennsylvania avenue, was sudden• ly killed yesterday morning at about twelve o'clock. It appears that Mrs. Smith was ascending the stairs of her res idence on Tunnel street, with a bucket of coal, when her foot slipped, precipitating her from near the lop of the stairs to the floor below, breaking her neck. She died in a few minutes afterwards. The deceits ed was a very estimable lady, and h rlthd• den death will be a source of deep rekret to a large circle of relatives and friends.

Jan. 6.--As a means of protect• ing commerce it is in contemplation by the Government to eatab fish a line of sig nal stations from Cairo south, along the Mississippi river, in order to give infor mation that may prevent any depredations. Careful explorations have already been made bet seen here and Memphis. These stations will each have small garrisons for defence, and to signal each other and gunboats in case of danger. From parties lately arrived from Texas we learn that the Union feeling is rapidly gaining strength throughout the State, acd that a portion of Arkansas through which our informant passed through the provis ions are q e abundant, consistirg largely of corn. Kirby Smith superseded Holmes who has been ordered to report at Rich mond. Smith commands the entire rebel force west of the Mississippi river, with headquarters at Camden. His force of about 1600 rebels are represented as being very active in raising and equiping men with the of•jeot of attacking Little Rock, which they feel confident they could at• tack in force before its garrison was rein forced. Marmaduke and Price have 6000 to 7000 men, mostly cavalry, and were lo• cated between Arkadelphia and Little Rock. The notorious Qnantrill and Ca fers had about 800 men each and were en• camped on Bayou Bartholomew, back of Lake Providence. Harrison is at Monroe, on Washita river with 1509 effective men, who were mostly from Arkansas and Lou isians; if they failed to hold Monroe he would disband his forces.

The 9th Indiana, en route to Indianapolis, arrived this morning. The 35th Indiana is ice bound at Fratiklir. Three hundred and sixty-six recruits from Springfield, arrived here to-day. The weather still continues very cold. WASHINGTON, January 6.—A Herald correspondent with thaArmy of the Poto ' mac, under date of January 6th, says that the leaders of that paper may look once more for stirring news from the Army of the Potomac. He soya: I need not say what is to be the nature of the intelligence, and would not do so if I could. It is sufficient to add in this connection that there will be as much or more excitement in this army during the ensuing three or four months as in any other department where the Herald has its correspondents. Guerrillas have not ceased their annoy ances. Last night Lieutenant James Smith, of the 20th New York Volunteers, provost marshal at Bealton, was shot at, between that point and the army head quarters. One of Kilpatrick's dispatch bearers was either captured or killed be tween Stevensburg and Warrenton Junc tion.

CONCORD, N. H., Jan. 6.—The Repub lican Nate convention to-day adopted the foLowing resolution : Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln, .by the exercise daring the dangerons crisis in the nation's history of unequaled sa• gacity and statesmanship of a moderation and prudence which experience has shown to be the highest wisdom by his spotless integrity of personal character, above ro• proach and above suspicion, and by his slowly formed yet unaltered determina tion that the triumph of the Constitution and the Union over secession and treason shall be the final triumph of liberty throughout the nation, has received and merited the abiding confidence of the people to an extent never awarded to an other public man since Washington. That the bestinterests of thecontalry demand that the complete destruction of the rebellion and the restoration of peace, prosperity and the Union should be achieved under his administration of the Government, and that we, therefore, declare Abraham Lin• coin to be the people's choice for re-elec. tion to the Presidency in 1804.
