THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1864 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Report of the County Controller—Ft nattelal Condition of the County. Henry Lambert, esq., County Control ler, appeared in the Coigrt of Common Pleas, Wednesday morning, and in pur seance of the act of May Ist, 1861, filed hie annual statement of the fiscal affairs of the county. From the report we learn that the finances of the county are in a very gratifying condition. The total or dinary expenses for 1862, were $89,000, while the total ordinary expenses of the past year were but $80,792—a decrealie of over $8,090. While the aggregate ex penses have been thus largely reduced, there has been a great increase in the ex penditure of some of the departments of the public service. The most important is the House of Refuge, the expenses of which have run up to an enormous sum. In 1861 this institution cost the county $8,764 82; in 1862, $10,798 36; and in 1863, 14,247 15. This is a matter which should be carefully investigated, and some effort should be made to relieve the coun• ty from any. farther increase of this tax. The Court of Common Pleas exhibits a large increase in its expenditures, In 1862, the amount paid to jurors was $1,893; last year the amount was $8 680. For tipstaves, $923 were paid last year, against $746 the previous year. The Court of Quarter Sessions also exhibits an increase, but not so large as the Com mon Pleas. The amount paid to jurors in 1862 was $3,000, last year $4,800 were required for that purpose. We learn that the Western Penitentiary has been self-sustaining during the past year, and consequently no call has been made upon the county to pay its proportion of deficiency, as has been customary in years gone by. The fact is a gratifying one that the convicts have been able to earn their own bread. The account of Mr. Floyd, County Treasurer, exhibits a balance in his hands of $51,000, while the amount outstand ing ie $BB.OOO, making a total of $68,- 000. All the interest due upon the com promise bonds has been promptly paid, and the surplus funds on hand are amply sufficient to meet all the obligations of the county. Mr. Lambert, under the head of "Railroad , Bonds Account," gives the following interesting statement : In the month of February, 1853, the fol lowing terms of compromise were agreed upon in Philadelphia between the county anthoritiee and a committee of Railroad Bondholders, representing a large num• ber of that class of creditors : "The county to raise by taxation annu ally $130,000, fur payment of interest on railroad debt, besides $25,000 for sinking fund. The whole class of indebtedness, both bonds and coupons, to be consolida ted to January let, 1863, on which an abatement of 131 1 per cent. is to be allowed by the creditors. Fund the abated amount at 5 per nut.—the new bonds to be clear of taxation under the laws of Pennsylva nia. For judgments, the bonds to run 20 years,; for balance of debt, 50 years. The old bonds to be deposited with Trustees, and not to be cancelled until after punctu al payment of interest on new bonds, for five years. Attorneys on jadgments, and costa of court and expenses to be paid by Lite county." 1 . 1 . ! necessary legislation was procured at H an .i B .l-eirg to authorize the county ca m, cers to each. e the bonds and conclude a settlement. By c!ose and accurate cal culation it was found t:",st a levy of ten mills on the county valuation would be sufficient to meet our engagements with the bondholders, and at the same time provide for the ordinary annual expendi tures. The latter had Leer, reduced under $90,008, and it was confidently believed there was no necessity why such amount for the future should be exceeded. By a comparison of the Contingent War rant tables for 1862 and 1863, it will be perceived that some departments of the county have, during the past year, increas ed their expenditures fully 60 per cent., and in these particular branches of the nublic service neither the Copamissioners nor the Controller have any dirset check on the management. Whilst thenhanced value of c:anmoditiee in general may partially account for the increase in some instances, in others it cannot be pleaded in justification. 'ilia Controller considered it his duty to notify the tax-payers that if the amount of the public expenses is to be enlarged. or the system of economy which now prevails be departed from, it will re quire a levy for county purposes of at least eleven mills on the valuation of 1865. The following statement presents the Railroad Bond indebtedness, subject to the action of compromise, showing the actual amount of new bonds issued, and being the nearest approximation to ac curacy, which can now be attained in the present stage of settlement : A Illegheny Valley IL It. stook $ 710 COO Pitts. at Conn. mores /ids. ,t Staub. 500 oth, Chartier's pi Icy ' 150 000 Cleve. & Pitta 150 000 $2 =OO 00) Nett a4crued int to Jan. 1,18t'..3.. 715,2t5i int. on coupons and judgments estimated.

There is, unfortn• nately, no compulsory law on the subject, as is the case in many European coun tries. But at the present time every per son, young and old, should be vaccinated. As people calculate now a diiirs by com parison, a few instances may be given of the value of vaccination in other countries. During the latter balf of the eighteenth century out of every 1,000 deaths in England 90 were from smallpox. But after the discovery and introduction of vaccination by Dr. Jenner the number was 'educed to thirty-five. A thorough enforcement of the laws relating to vac cination has had the effect of still further reducing the number. In the year 1853 the number of deaths that occurred in London from small-pox were at the rate of sixteen in every thousand. In Bohe mia, Lombardy and Venice, where the law was more rigidly enforced, the ratio was as low as two in one thousand. After such a statement who will deny the very great importance of vaccination? The surest way to get properly vaccin• aced is to vaccintite from arm to arm, for lymph loses its virtue by lapse of time. Those who have not been vaccin ated within the past seven years should be vaccinated again without loss of time. '.'hey will rejoice that they have made the ez oeriment. THE WHEELING ELECTION. —The mani cipal election in Wheeling on Monday, was very closely contested but the Union men contrived to elect their ticket by a Ba nn msjority. The "conservatives" were better organized, and previous to the election it WSJ feared they would car ry the day. • The War Meeting Last Night An impromptu meeting of our loyal citi zens convened last evening at the Monon gahela House to hear Gen. Hancock ex• plain the object of his mission to Pitts burgh. The meeting was organized by calling ex• Governor Johnston to the chair. A number of patriotic speeches were made and many ways suggested to raise our quota. Mr. Joseph Hunter, late Demo cratic candidate for Mayor, was in favor of immediate action, and as an earnest of his views authorized the Secretary to put down his name for $lOO. He said the ranks of the army must be filled at once, and the way to do it was to come down with the cash on the spot, and not wait for the slow action of the legislators, com• missioners, or anybody else. After a fall interchange of opinions, the whole matter was referred to a committee consisting of ex-Governor Johnston, Thos. Bakewell, John H. Shoenberger, John'Harper, Jas. Marshall and Jas. Parke, who are to re port this afternoon at three o'clock at an adjourned meeting to meet at the Monon gahela House. We think we begin to see light dawning upon us. Our people begin to see the absolute necessity of opening their parses and paying the same bounties that are paid elsewhere. There is a dead lock in the Legislature, the Commissioners will not issue bonds, and our time is short in which to raise our quota ; then we must act, and act at once. If the committee which meets to day— and Pittsburgh does not contain any bet ter or more patriotic men—fail to devise a feasable mode of raising our quota, and we trust they may not, then let us fall back upon that suggestion of Mr. Hunter, and all give at once to the full amount of our means, and soon, not only Gen. Hancock's corps, but every skeleton regiment in the West will be filled to its full standard. We may add that Gen Hancock has but few men to raise in the West, but that as a Pennsylvanian he feels, and so expres ses himself, a State pride in seeing the Keystone of the Arch come up promptly to the rescue o , the Union. She will do it, eoen in the West, if wise councils prevail. Amendments to the Constitution The convention which was called by the Central ComMittee of the Presbyte rian Church in relation to the proposed amendments to the 'Constitution of the United States, met in Dr. Pressley's Church, Allegheny, yesterday morning at ten o'clock. A temporary organization was effected by calling Dr. John Pressley to the chair, and appointing Rev. Dr. Douglass Secretary. The Convention was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Sproul, after which a committee on . permament organization, consisting of Rev. S. S Col lins, J. S. T. Milligan and John Alexan• der, esq, was appointed. Rev. Dr. Doug las then stated that in accordance with the in3tructions givin him by the Central Committee, he had corresponded with several of the most eminent statesmen of the country in relation to the object for which the Convention was called, but none of the replies received contained more than a thankful acknowledgement of the invitation to be present, except the Hon. Chas. Sumner, who replied in the following terms: SENATE CHANIBUZ., 22d January, 1:7,t,4. My Dear Sir: Duties will keep me here. so that I cannot be with you to listen to the arguments and councils by which you will inaugurate your new movement. - Let me say frankly that I know no if it be practicable to accomplish all the change in the Constitution which you propose, bat lam sure that the discussion cannot be otherwise than advantageous. It can never he out of season to explain and enforce mortal dependence upon Al mighty God, or to declare the liberty and equal rights of all men—in other words, to assert the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. Here are the two great Commandments, which no nation can forget—the duty and grace cf piety, and the other, the duty and grace of hu• man it y. Believe me. dear air,very faithfully yours, CHARLES SUMNER. Rev. JOHN DOUGLAS On motion, Rev. S. Collins, John Al exander and Zadock Street, esq , w_re appointed a committee to draft resolu tions for the consideration of the conven tion and prepare a suitable memorial to Congress in regard to the proposed amead ments. On motion of Rev. Mr. Ander eon the convention proceeded to engage in devotional exercises, after which it ad• jonnied to meet at two o'clock P. m. Great interest was manifested in the pro ceedings of the Convention, the church being well filled during its deliberations, and persons constantly arriving on all the trains, & , c., from a distance. To Soldiers and Postmasters Postmaster General Blair requests all editors in the United States to give pub licity, to the following act to amend the law prescribing the articles to be admitted into the mallet' the United States: Be it enacted, &c., That articles of clothing being manufactured of wool, cotton, or linen, and comprised in a package not exceeding two pounds in weight, address ed to any non-commissioned officer cr private serving in the armies of the United States. may be transmitted in the mails of the United States at the rate of eight cents, to be in all cases prepaid, for every four ounces, or any fraction there of, subject to such regulations as the Postmaster General may prescribe. Approved, January 22, 1864. It will be seen from the foregoing that packages of clothing entitled to pass in the mails—eight ounces for four cents— must be manufactured from wool, cotton, or linen, and not exceeding two pounds in weight, and must be addressed to a noncommissioned officer or private serv ing in the armies of the United States. Consequently a package addressed to a commissioned officer, or composed of other materials than as above specified, such as boots, shoes, &c., if sent by mail, must be prepaid by stamps at letter rates, viz: three cents for every half ounce or fraction thereof. $3,061.290 b-074, ,1 GOING A WAY — The liberal local boun ties for volunteers offered by other towns and cities, have taken away from here more men than would have filled the en tire quota of our city, and additional squads are now leaving daily. It is im portant, therefore, that Council act prompt ly on the bounty qnestion. Had our citizens moved vigorously in this matter at the proper time, the quota would have been filled long ago, and some thousands of dollars saved by the operation.—Har risburg Patriot. What is true of Harrisburg is equally true of Pittsburgh. We trust, however, from the stimulus which the presence of the gallant Major General Hancock among us will give to oar people, that means will at once be adopted to secure the quota of every ward, borough and town ship in Allegheny county. Money is the lever which will lift us out of the draft, fill the thinned ranks of the army, and save our credit. Shall we have it? Or will we, with stolid indifference, fold our arms and await the turning of the Provost Marshals wheel for tickets admitting us into the conscript barracks? We have bat a few days left in which to act. Let as then be up and doing. INC:MUSED THEIR CAPITAL.—The Ger man Trust and Savings Bank have recent. ly increased their capital stock to $2OO,- 000. Only a portion of the increase being reserved for the present stockholders, ap plications from business men will be re ceived until February 2d, for the stock not Netiaten,,, Monied men will note this filet. :UtE PITTSBURGH POST: GETTYSBURG CEMETERY AND TUE REC• utass.—Mr. Joseph S. Townsend, of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg, writes that a lot in which the soldiers of the regular army were to be interred, was set apart at the time the cemetery was laid out, and that upon the day it was dedicated quite a number had already been buried therein. The belief that the regulars had been forgotten, he says, must have origin.. ated in a sketch of the grounds, made before the design was completed, and published as a correct representation. "It is lamentable," adds Mr. Townsend, "that there are so many unknown dead, (about one-fourth of the whole,) but that was owing to the fact that those who fell in the first day's fight were stripped by the rebels. An authenticated map of the cemetery will soon be published, which will correct the misapprehensions in re gard to it. Everything has been done, and every pains taken that could be, with the removal and re-interment of the fal len heroes on that battle-field." SOLDIERS' ORPCIANS.—We have upon two occasions mentioned the fact that Madam Lizzie Bell, a sister of Miss Gertie Bell, gives an entertainment at Concert Hall on Friday evening next, the proceeds of which is to be applied to purchasing lands and erecting a suitable home for the orphans of Union soldiers who may fall on the field of battle in defence of their country. As Mrs. Bell is one of the most finished elocutionists in this country, and is actua ted solely by the most noble and disinter.. ested motives in thus quitting the ease and comforts of home to travel on an er— raLd of mercy among strangers, we trust her patriotic woman's heart may be made glad by a crowded house to morrow even• ing. MANCHESTER BOROUGH COUNCIL—The borough Council of Manchester held a meeting on Tuesday night, when, after the transaction of some business not of public importance, an election for borough officers was held with the following result : Clerk of Council—J.

LATE CINCINNATI ITEMS FROM CAIRO AND BELOW de, de., ae., de WASHINGTON, January 27.—House The House proceeded to the considers. tion of the deficiency appropriation bill as reported from the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, with amendments. The House disagreed to the amendment to suspend the work on the extension of the capitol or treasury buildings, and the deficiency bill wag finally passed with only four dissenting votes. Mr. Kenny, delegate from Utah, de fended the people of that territory from the charge of Fernhndo Wood that they are profligate outcasts. He maintained that the people there are loyal, and hence they incurred Mr. Wood's displeasure. If he (Mr. Kenny) were a full member of the House he would introduce a reso• lotion expelling Wood for the expA3ssion of treasonable sentiments. The object of the traitors, Flud and Buchanan, send ing troops to Utah was to cripple the North and open the way to secession. Fernando Wood, of New York, replied, saying that his remarks of yesterday abont Utah were predicated on cificial documents, which he was prepared to produce. He was not required to detend his loyalty. He charged every man with falsehood who impugned it, and he would meet any such resolution for his expol. sion when any gentleman had the temerity to offer it. The House resumed the consideration of the amendatory condscatiou resolu• tion. Senat< . —Mr. Wilaou, of Maaaachusetta, reperted back the bill giving bounties to soldiers enlisted previous to May, 1861. Mr. Hale of New Hampshire, reported back the bill relative to the appointment of naval officers. Mr. Lane introduced a bill providing for the safe and speedy transmission of money from soldiers to their families. The House bill appropriating money to pay the Indian and other pensions for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1.155, was passed. Mr. Wilson called up the bill promot. log enlistments. The amendment of Mr. Grimes was adopted with gives, instead of two months pay. such sums or bounties as the President shall order not exceed ing one hundred dollars. Mr. Powell's amendment to strike out the clause freeing the families of colored recruits was then taken up and dismissed. Mr. Morrell addressed the Senete on the resolution to expel Mr. Davis of Kentucky. HEADQUARTERS, WEST VIRGINIA, Jan uary 26th.—A scout just returned from the neighb .rhood of Woodstock who took nine prisoners. The rebel Gen. Early is reported to be still at Harrison burg, and Rosser, with the Seventh, Eleventh and Twelfth Virginia moented regiments, and White's battalion, is between New Market and Timberville. He does not seem to be doing anything, or to be in a condition to make a success ful raid of importance. As far as Rosser it concerned, no harm is apprehended. Imboden is at Cross Keys. Fitz Hugh Lee has gone back to Gordonsville with his command. Col. Mulligan has just returned from Petersburg. He reports no enemy in force in South Branch Valley. Large numbers of deserters and refugees are coming into our outposts. All incomers concur in substantiating what is reported about the expected sufferings and present dissatisfaction among the rebels. Colonel Thohurn reports having infor. mation of a highly important and grat— ifying character. It relates to the good workings of the President's amnesty proclamation among the rebels in arms and those who have heretofore been sym pathizers but who are not now in the army. Jeff Davis' sweeping conscription law has given rise to this new state of feeling. Every thing looks cheering in this De partment. The snow and ice are grad• ually disappearing without causing a freshet in the streams; therefore, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will not suf fur loss or interruption this season, by having bridges, swept away by swol len streams, as has been the case in times past. CINCISNATI, idaniary 27.—A public re ception was given to the veteran soldiers at Indianapolis yesterday. A dispatch from Bridgeport, Ala., says rebel desertions are unuseally large.

Louisville specials say the steamer Henry Fitzhugh from Nashville to Cin cipnati, was sa❑k by ice, en the 22d, at Shawneistown. Total loss. Had on board 193 bales of cotton for Cincinnati. The ice gave way at Louisville yesterday, sinking five coal boats, and carrying twenty-four barges over the falls. Capt. Samuel Black, quartermaster, was sentenced by Court-martial at Louis ville, to be dismissed the service with the loss of pay and allowances due ; to pay a fine of ten thousand dollars and imprisoned two years. The charges were, neglect, violation of duty, conduct unbe- coming an officer, and in making a false report, &c. In the suit before the Louisville Circuit Court, yesterday, against the Adams Ex press Company, to recover money seized by John Morgan at Cave City, the Court decided that guerrillas are common ene mies, and that, as such, a common carrier is not responsible for goods seized by them. NesaVILLE, January 27.—General R3B Beau lately received information that a brigade of rebel cavalry, under Forrest, with a battery of artillery, were about to cross the Tennessee river at Florence; also for the purpose of a raid through Middle Tennessee. He made due prepa rations to receive them by strengthening his posts and scouting the country. This evening Col. Wisner, at Columbia, telegraphed that the enemy has taken Athens, and is moving on Columbia. This morning the pickets at Columbia were attacked by a rebel squad coming from the direction of Mount Pleasanton. It is thought that Forrest is moving around Columbia, endeavoring to destroy the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad, and to obstruct the river navigation. NEW YoRK, January 27.—A special dispatch to the Herald, dated headquar ters Department of W eat Virginia, Jann• ry 27th, says that General Sullivan has just informed General Kelly, from Elar• per's Ferry, that his scouts have returned with Richmond papers to the 22d inst., and that these papers say that Jeff Davie' house was robbed and fired, which is a significant fact. The fife was discovered in time to save the building. Major Rnnian, of the First New York cavalry, who commanded the scents. reports that there are bands of men forming in Virgin• is to resist the rebel conscription. - HEADQUARTERS /BTH ARMY CORPS, DE FARTMENT OF VA.

CAIRO, January 27.—Advices from Lit tle Rock state that Judge Clayton has been elected Provisional Governor of Ar kansas. Marmaduke, Shelby and Fagan are re• ported advancing on Pine Bluff. Lieut. Payso attacked Marmadnke but was un successful. Col. Clayton had an engage ment some days prior, in which Fagan was repulse.l. Clayton then marched against Shelby, forcing him to retreat 11 miles, but fearing a flank movement Clay ton turned back 7 miles and telegraphed for reinforcements but sent word soon af• terwards that no assistance was needed. WAsiaiworoti. Jan. 27.—The Evening Republican has the following •—lt is now quite certain that a serious emule occurred in the rebel camp near Steveneburgh on Saturday last. Heavy musketry and ar tillery firing was heard, in so much that messages were sent forward to the cavalry pickets from headquarters to ascertain what was going on. Deserters who have came in state that a regiment attempted to desert and a serious affair occurred. There was some firing on Friday, and the insurrection in camp came to a crisis on Saturday. The cause of Jeff. Davis is getting more and more shaky. NEW YORK, January 27.—The Metro politan Bank and the Bank of the Com monwealth yesterday announced by the Board of Supervisors, the forcible collec tion of their taxes by Marshal Holden, on the warrants issued by Mr. Murphy, receiver of taxes, and have given notice of their intention to commence actions to reverse the same. They claim that their capital being invested in U. S.
