The family and friends of Mr. W. 8. Gra- ham, engineer, residing in Manchester, are much alarmed at his sudden and mys• terions disappearance on Wednesday eve ning. It seems that Mr. Graham, who is a sober, pancfnal man, and possessed of consifierable means, was engaged at work on the "Tigress No. 2," lying at our wharf. He bad on Wednesday morning drawn a check for $1,500 on one of oar banking homes. Daring the day the cap• taro of the Tigress requested Graham and the other engineer of the boat, to remain aboard all night, as he feared the ice might run out in the night, and it would be necessary to have some one on board to attend to the boat. Graham consented to remain, but said he mast go home first, and would then return. He did so, and the watchmen on the boat says that he re turned at about halt-past nine o'clock, and went on board, since which time he has neither been seen nor heard from. On discovering, yesterday morn ing,. that he was not in his room on the boat, nor yet at home, the most harrase ing doubts and suspicions took possession of the minds of his family and friends. Inquiry was at once made at the bank from which he had drawn the check, when it was ascertained that he had not lifted the money, and instructions given for the present not to pay it to any but Mr. G. himself. The belief is prevalent that be hes either been foully dealt with, for his money, or that he has accidentally fallen into the river, and was drowned. Being a perfectly sober, and ever punctual and reliable man, lends color to the gloomy conjectures of his family as to his fate, He has a wife and three children residing in alanchester, who are in deep distress at his disappearance. The Railroad Strike The President of the Piitsbnrgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago Railroad Co. sent the following letter, dated Pittsburgh, Jan. 26, to J. H. Kpore, Commercial and General Agent of the road at Chicago: All the passenger trains on East Division are now running on regular schedule time. Four sections freight went west this morn ing, and we shall soon have all the engines of this cl‘vieion, fit for service, at work on the track. On Western Division, 15 engines are at work to day. and the Superintendent re ports by telegraph that all is right this A. M., and the reorganization will soon be completed. The encouragement and sym• patby given to the conspiracy at Chicago by the vast numbers of locomotive run ners concentrated there delays that division more than the eastern in getting to work. Then, too, the "Brotherhood of the Footboard" have their organiza tions on many of the roads at Chicago, and they are sworn to sustain and pro• teat their order everywhere. It is a great mistake to suppose we are engaged merely iu a contest about wages. It is a contest between the corporate managers of railroads, who are under the restrictions of their charter and general laws, and secret associations of locomo tive runners who have lodges on many road in the West under the designation of the ''Brotherhood of the Footboard," which assumes to make rules and regula tions for the government of the running of the roads, a r.d is oily reenons,ble to its own members in secret conclave. The question which I had to decide, then, was not how much wages should be paid. but whether the "Brotherhood of the Footboard" or the cfficers of this cor poration should manage its property. I decided without any hesitation, to use all the money and all the power of the cor— poration to set aside all illegal and dan— gerous conspiracies, and I believe-I - Shall succeed. Engineers are now comic row the East, and the military aut rities have given assurance of protection against all violence. Maj. Gen. Brooks sent a militarygnard, well provided with ball and powder, trom here to Fort Wayne. This has been the most formidable, as it has the most causeless, strike, that ever has been on any railrcad in this country. G. W. CASH, President. Letter front the President A week or so since President Lincoln sent a letter ct thanks to the widow of the Rev. Joseph Stockton, of this city, a lady eighty yews cf age, for knitting a great number of stockings for the soldiers. To this favor of the President Mrs. Stock• ton has sent the following reply. To Ilia Excellency Abraham Lincoln. President of the United States: Your kind letter was duly received. My labors in behalf of our gallant soldiers. I fear, are somewhat exaggerated. I have endeavored to do what I could for those who battle to crush this wicked re bellion. Every grandson I have capable of bear ing arms is now in the army—one acting as brigadier general in Western Virginia; one as colonel commanding under Gen— eral McPherson ; one as captain, 140th Pennsylvania volunteers; one as iieu tenant in the 14th Pennsylvania cavalry : and another, who was disabled as a gun— ner in the Chicago Light Artillery, I have at home with me, and he is yet anxious to again join his command. At my time of life I cannot expect that. many more years will be given to me ; yet it is my sincere desire that ere I close my mortal life peace may be restored to our whole land. And now, my dear sir, in concluding this letter,(perhaps the last I shall ever write,) permit me to say that my earnest prayer for you is, that you may king be spared to enjoy the blessing of a grateful nation, when freedom shall have enthron ed herself truly over the entire land. Committing you to the care of our Heavenly Father, I remain your sincere friend, ESTHER STOCKTON. BANKRUPT SALE OF fiILAWLS, CLOAKS , &C. —We call the attention of the reader to the advertisement in another column of a sale of shawls, cicaks and cloths, from New York, at McClelland's Auction House, No. 66 Fifth street. Ladies wish ing to purchase a cloak at half price will do well to call early, as the goods mast be sold within the next ten days for the belie& of the creditors, and will be dis posed of regardless of cost. NEW PUBLICATIONS.—Henry Miner, Fifth street, sends us the following new publications: "Webster and Haynes' Speeches in the United States Senate ;" "Harper's New Monthly" for February ; and the "Life of Archbishop Hughes, - nil of whichivill be found for sale at the -.ell assorted establishmtint of Mr. Miner, I,fth Street, near the postoffice. tare Flan FOR SALE.—Sheriff Brown field, of Fayette County, advertises a large and valuable property for sale io this paper, to which we direct the atten tion of those wishing to make a safe in vestment. This property i s calculated for farming or stock raising, is a good stand for a public house, and will be sold at a bargain. nrE PITTSBURGH roOrt DODGING THEI DRAFT.—When the en• irollment for the draft was made in Hai , xishurg e Samuel Bing, gave the enrolling officer a fictitious name—that of Samuel 'Myers. When the drawing took place Samuel Myers was drafted, and received a ticket of invitation to the provost mar 'Bind's levee at the court-house. Under the impression that he had played a "sharp-dodge" upon Uncle Abe's offi cers, he boldly confronted them with evi dence to prove that his name was Samuel King, and that he was not the individual drafted. His identity, however, was fully established, and his fraudulent attempt to evade conscription exposed. Bing alias Myers was forthwith provided with a suit of government clothing, and sent off to a regiment. Subsequently he deserted, returned to Harrisburg, and unable to re sist the tempting bounty offered, re-enter ed the service as a volunteer, no doubt with the intention of again deserting at the first favorable opportunity. lll:dor lutist* for the artful dodger he was reo ognized, arrested for desertion : relieved of what bounty money was still in his Possession, and returned to his regiment. The probability is that he will be severely punished. BOAT RACING ON A LARGE SCALE.—The preformances of Hammill, Ward, and others in the matter of boat racing are about to e3lipse, by Uncle Sam taking a hand at it. We learn that the Assistant Secretary of War is in New York arrang ing for a race at sea between the U. S. steamer Eutaw, and the' commerci,d steamer Kinkiang. That may all be very well, but it would seem to us that instead of getting up naval races at home, the De. partment should send the Eutaw or any other vessel they can rely upon. to Per nambuco, in which neighborhood the Al abama was last :reported, to capture and bring in that dangerous enemy to our com merce. This would be a naval trial of speed which would be gratifying to the whole country, and at once put to run, all the cavilling and censuring against the Navy Department. BALTIMORE FIRE DEPARTMENT. - On Ittonday night last the United Fire De, partment of Baltimore held an election for officers with the following result: Presi dent, Henry P. Dumuel, M: Evans, of the Deptford; H. P. Horton, of the Friend. ship;' and Leonard A. Helm, of the How ard; treasurer, Hugh Bolton, of the Inde pendent, and secretary, Jas. Young, of the Franklin.

Tax Tex ON 'WHISKEY. —The liquor dealers are becoming desperate over the passage of the bill in the House increas ing the tax on that article. The dealers pronounce it an ex post facto law, and declare their intention to contest it ir. the courts if it passes the Senate in its present shape. One New York firm, which last year paid over $600,000 taxes on the article, and the largest dealers in the West, besides innumerable smaller dealers from different parts of the coun try, are in Washington to defeat its pee• ssge through the Senate. AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.—The convention having this subject under con• sideration closed its labors yesterday by effecting a permanent national organiza— tion and electing the followicg officers : President, John Alexander, of Xenia, Ohio; Vice President, Zadock Street, Salem, Ohio: Recording Secretary, Rev.

House.—A general conversation took place between the members with a view of coming to an agreement concerning the consideration of the enrollment bill.

NEW Yoax, January 28.—The City of New York bag arrived with Liverpool ad vices of the 13th. The Confederate loan advanced yesterday from 4 I to 46, and af terwards reaching 60. The Times says on the Danish side the East resolve has been taken, and should any German regiment advance beyond the northern boundary of the federal ter. ritory, Denmark is resolved to enter in war with all due energy. It is quite time the two great powers had declared their future coarse with equal precision. The American steamer Scotland was seized by the custom house authormea at Canton, for taking aboard gnus and other articles contraband of war. Western Agents, Earl Russel's letter& Dec 31st, to the Federal Diet is published. He demands in the interests of peace, a conference of the powers who signed the treaty of Lon don with a German representative, and that the State govern.ment be maintained in the meantime.

The London Times says it is almost cer• ain that war will be averted in India and Tapan. New Yoac, January 28 —The eteamet Champion has arrived from Aspinwall with California treasure and passengers. The Champion brings $325,000 in treasure. Among her passengers is the Hon. Robert NU Lean. Advicoe from Guayaquil report that Mosquera had forced the passage of the river Chola, and that Flores had re treated or was driven back towards Naito. Another armistice had been agreed on, and Flores made a proposition for peace, pledging himself to pay $3,000,000 in demnity to New Grenada for her expenses of the war, which would be rejected by Mosquera, who was sure to soon occupy Quito, and it ,a already reported that he has done so. A rumor is also afloat that a revolution had broken out in Quito and the President taken prisoner, but letters from Guayquil say nothing of it. The Central American news is unim portant. There was some excitement in Panama when the Champion left, occa simed by a British Catholic clergyman being brought before the Prefect and hay• ing a criminal suit entered against him for performing; man to a few persons in a hotel. This matter is likely to cause trouble between New Grenada and Eng land. An engagement had occurred, in the State nE Antioqua, between the Govern— ment forces and some four hundred con servatlype. The latter were rooted, CINCINNATI, January 2 —The Cow merciar s Chattanaciga special says: John ston's army has fallen bank from Dalton. Col. Burke, of the Tenth Ohio, with a flag of truce, went out forty five miles, but could find no enemy. The rebel ad• vance pickets near Kingston, forty miles south of Dalton, are, probably to cover their retreat to where Cheatham's division went on Wednesday. Several unimpor tant cavalry raids have been made to cover their movements. The Gazette's Nashville dispatch says: Persons who left Knoxville on Saturday {eport skirmishing between Longstreet's cavalry and ours. No doubt is felt that Knoxville can he held. Gov. Johnston has issued a proclama— lion for the election of county officers in all counties under Union power. Die loyal persons are not permitted to vote. A very rigid oath is prescribed. One thousand recruits for Wisconsin and Michigan regiments passed through Indianapolis yesterday for the front. J. S. Bristol, Superintendent of repairs of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, died at Xenia, Ohio, this morning. It is reported that John Morgan, with seven regiments of cavalry, will make a raid into Kentucky, through the gape in the eastern part of the State. NASHVILLE, January 27.—Later infor mation from General Dodge, at Pulaski, Tenn., under date of the nth, says: The enemy crossed Tennessee river last night and attacked Athens this morning, and were defeated. They are now trying to get back. The troops at Athens had mostly gone to Florence to attack John ston's force crossing there. And Colonel Harrison, with six hundred rebels and two pieces of artillery, took advantage of their absence but were badly defeated. Still later advices say that Dodge badly crip pled Johnston at Florence, and in all probabillity the raid is at an end.

The matter hating been arranged by the employment of new hands the trains are now running regular. Next week we ex pect to mare our report as full and in• teresting as new t '. Prices were altogether nominal, what:few sales of cattle came nu der, our notice will be found reported be• low. SHEEP—We could not learn of a single transaction.
