Soldiers , Families. It is well known to our community that the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny and the ad loinbajaior=ghirand indeed the entire county, hays fur/galled an immense number of soldiers for the war.- A great number of these are mar ried MO'. and have families dependent upon them for protection. There is very little support given these families from any other source than the salary of the soldier. This salary is a!niere apology for a compensation proportioned-to the services of the soldier. Congress, It is true, has acted in the matter, and, it Is said,has raised the wages of •soldiers and non-commissioned officers. • There is an apparent increase of sala ry, bUt we would ask, in:all candor, is there any rsalr increase I At the commencement of the war a paper dollar was worth a gold dollar, and then the pay was thirteen dollars per month. Now a paper dollar is only worth about sixty cents. Suppose that Congress did raise the pay to twenty dollars, those twenty dollars will not buy any more now than thirteen dollars bought three years ago before paper money was depre ciated. With all the professions of love for the dear soldier, by C}ungressmen who are getting about two hundred and fifty dollars per month, they have done nothing more than make amends for the depreciation of the currency. The question then that we vviah to ask and to see answered is, how is the poor soldier able to maintain a famyy upon twenty dollars per month of a depreciated currency, when butter is fifty cps to seventy per Th. and meat from twenty to thirty per h. A great deal of sympa thy is expressed for the soldier, but we fear it is only =expression. It is true that those who received large bounties will not need assistance for sometime. The bounty money will supply their families for a year or so. But there are thousands in the service that got little or no bounty. How shall the families of such sold iers pay their way through this unequal world. There is not a soldier in the field that has not done more for his country than those blustering Congressmen who do nothing but make a speech or two, to secure their re-election, and yet the one gets seven times as much as the other. We do not mean to disparage talent, where there is any, but at the same time we do not desire to overlook muscle. The soldier performs the drudgery of the army. He stands on picket night and day.• He goes on foot and carries the knapsack and musket, and he does not receive a quid pro elm for these services. Congress Sat ter him with an increase of pay, which is no increase at all, and he is -then left to provide for his family as best he may. Let there be more aenon and less gasconade in regard to the soldier and his family. The poor we always have with us and:a portion, at least, of the money be stowed by liberal minded persons, should be set apart for the benefi % t of the wives and children of those who are doing real service in the aquae of tbeir country. Allegheny Board of Control The regular monthly meeting of the Alleghe ny City Board of Control was held on Tuesday eveningin the Fourth Ward School House. In the absence of the President, Rey. Air . ".11c)111-. lin was called to the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The monthly reports of the Principal& of the various ward school. were read and ordered to be printed. The monthly report of the Teachers' Institute was read and referred to the Committee no In stitutes. A petition from the teachera of the Se,ond and Fourth Ward Schools, asking the Board to dismiss the Institute for the months of Alay and Jane, in order that the teachers might devote more time to the Sanitary Fair, was read, and the request granted. " Mr. Biddle stated that the terms for which members of the Board had been elected had not been determined, and oWei ed. a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Secretary to examino the returns at the Court House, and report at the next meeting of the Board On motion adjourned. The Soldiers' Home.—The meeting of the Subsistence Oommittee, who have fitted up the Soldiers' Home, will be held in their rooms, at No. 347 Liberty street this evening. An address will be delivered by F. R. Brunot, esq., and there will also be exercises in vocal music, conducted by W. P Marshall, esq. The exercises will commence about 7h , o'clock. Tickets of admis sion can be had at the business places of the members of the Committee. 'The hail or rooms, called the Soldiers' Home, have recently been re-flteed and neatly carpeted. The carpet in the chambers, or bed-rooms, was made by the ladies of the association, from rags which they saved from clippings of garments. It is good rag c arpet and the entire piece man ufactured in this way contains one hundred yards. Thts act of the ladies displays, not only benevolence, but economy, and sets a good ex ample for others to Imitate. There is no foolish expenditure of money about the Soldiers' Home, no display for the sake of display, but a simple unostentatious moverndut, that in three years has relieved about two-hundred thousand sol- Men— There was one poor sick drummer boy lying Ul the sick room , when we visited it, and we could, not help thinking that this boy would bless the hands that admi niatered comfort to him„ should he ever get well. Our thanks are due to B. F. Vandevort for information in re gard to the Soldiers' Home and also for tickets of vitals !ion. Distinguished Viattors.—We noth.e.

May time long spare him to his life of usefulness. We observe, also, our distinguished friend and fellew citizen Ron. H. D. Foster, present at the District Court engaged in the case of the United States against Robert Sanford of Indi ana county. Mr. Foster looks as young and hale as he; did ten years ago. The fatigues in cident to the profession do not seem to sat hard upon him. We hope he may yet see many days. anokhigher honors. Shoplitting.—A case of taking goods with. out leave occurred in Allegheny city, yesterday, at the dry goods establishment of Bfr. William Sample, on Federal street. It appears that lady called at the store and while making some small purchases, was observed slipping a piece of calico into a market basket. Mr. Semple's attentiod was called to the affair, and in tieing up the goods into one bundle, which he pi °pos ed to do, lie fourni the calico. A police c. dicer was called and she was taken before the aiL y or, wharb`she alleged she had bought the caiice, but the clerks denied it and she was held in ball to answer the charge of larceny. Teachers and the Fair. —At a meeting of the Principals of the schools of Allegheny and surrounding- Boroughs, held at the Fourth Ward School House, on Tuesday evening, May id, A. I'. Douttiett in the chair, It was riesobedy-That the teachers of Allegheny and surrounding borough and townships unite with the teachers of Pittsburgh and her boroughs and townships in their contributions to the San itary Fair. /Undyed, That Messrs.

Among them was the.case of Sergeant Houston, who, in company with Frank Belly, went into Hoehn cigar — gore' lent evening, to purchase some cigars, widekthe Sergeant paid for with a fifty cent postage currency. The money was afterwards discoveted to be coup terfeit, and the Sergeant was asked to redeem the same, when en altercation ensued, in which the Sergeant drew a revolver. quite A crowd had assembled in the meantime, when Alder man Kelly, by virtue of his office, closed the store and refused admittance to the pollee, who wished to quell the disturbance. The police finally succeeded in making an entrance, and ar rested Sergeant Houston and Alderman Kelly, whe were brought before the Mayor this morning. The former was fined ten dollars and costs for disorderly conduct, and the latter live dollars and costs for a like offbnee. The exami nation at the Mayor's office is said to have been a rich affair, but as we were not present we are upable to give particulars. James Mor ton was arrested by the police, last, night, for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, in the Sixth ward, and attempting to choke the po liceman who was in the discharge of his duty. The officer brought him to his senses by a blow with his mace, and succeeded in taking him to the tombs. He was brought out this morn ing and tined ten dollars and costa, and in de fault of payment was sent up for thirty days. This morning officer Wray arrested a man by the name of 'McHenry, in the vicinity of the Point, who was making quite a disturbance, hurrahing for Jeff. Davis,Acc., Esc. Lie v.-as conveyed to the tombs, but ,being intoxicated, he was left to sleep off the effect of his pota tions. The same officer also affisted a man at the St. Charles Hotel yesterday, charged with stealing a pocket book. There were some fif teen or twenty common cases before the Mayor, but none that require particular notice " A Warning to Bounty Brokers Judge McCandless, In the District Court, to the course of his remarks to the Grand Jury, adverted to the fact that since the payment of high premiums by Cioverbnient. cities, wards and boroughs, for the procurement of volunteers to till the ranks of the Union army, a class of men had sprung up in our midst, known as "bounty brokers," whose sole aim, in many in stances, seemed to be to pocket as large an amount of the botintytanney as possible, with out the slightest regard for the rights of the vol unteer, the dictates of patriotism or the inter ests of the country. In the course of his re mark*, the learned Judge stated to the jury that he understood a number of cases would be brought before them by the United States Dis trict Attorney, in which minors were charged with perjury in swearing to their age, that they might be s worn into the service of the United States, and thus secure the liberal bounties of fered. In all such cases it would be competent for the jury to ascertain whether any of the "bounty brokers" referred to had anything to do in inducing minors to persne such a course, and in all cases where the evidence wan suffi cient to fix upon them the slightest complicity in such nefariousgiroceedirtga to find bills against them, that they might be tried and receive the just punishment due their Illegal and injurious practices. United States Dist. Court.—The entire time of the Court was taken up on yesterday in the case of the U. States vs Robert Sanford, of Cherryhill Township, Indiana County, who is charged with haring harbored a deserter from the United States Army. Mr. Carnahan, Dist. Attorney ; appeared for the United States and Hon. 'lrenry D. Foster, of Westmoreland, and Hugh Weir and Joseph M. Thompson, esqs. of Indiana Co. all disting uished lawyers, appeared for the defence. So far as elicited, the facts appear to be sA t0110w, , . A man named Cochran had been draft_ ed and refused to go to the place of rendezvous . The Constable of the Township, Mr. John Ma guire, with others, went in :earth of him and found him in the woods, when he lust to 'San ford's house about three quarters of a mile from Cochran's house. Maguire pursued him and in attempting to get Cochran, presented a pistol at Mrs. Sanford's breast. A boy com municated this to Mr. Sanford, WL.I was work ing in a clearing, at some distance, when he came home. Maguire asked him to assist in getting hold of Cochran. Sanford refused to do so, unless he would explain to him why he had presentri a pistol at the breast of his wife. This is about the testimony so far as develop ed. Mr. Sanford, it was proved, Lad helped to raise volunteers, to haul them from place to place without charging anything, and bears a good character generally. The testimony was closed last evening, and a verdict may be ex pected to-day. Death of a Soldier.—A soldier was found lying on Penn street, above the canal. about two o'clock on Wednesday morning, in a dying condition. A stretcher was procured by the night policeman and he was carried to the ill ay or's office, but before arriving there he died From papers found on the body, it appears that his name was John Reid, arid that he bad en listed in Co. E. 2d Regiment, District of Colum bia Infantry, from which he was discharged November oth, 1663, at Camp Convalescent, Vs because of disability. Ile was a Scotchman, 53 sears old, and by trade a atone cutter. A pop bottle partly filled with villainous whittlo - was found in one of his pockets. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon and a verdict reitleied in accordance with the facts. The body will to kept at Devotes_ on Grant street, till this af ternoon. Strike on Railroads.—lt to reported that the operatives on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad, and also on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Rai/road, are on a strar, and that inconsequence, the business on these roads is partially suspended. We do not vouch for the truth of the rumor, but suppose it is true, as there was a talk of a strike some time ago. Strikes should be condemned by all persons. They are not only injurious to the operatives themselves but derange the business of the entire community. Capitalists should endeav or to remunerate their emplciyees for their la bor and skill, and operatives should ask man. fully and fearlessly for their rights, but combi nations of men who leave off work to compel an increase of wages should be discountenanced. Along the Wharf.—Yesterday afternoon was warm and sunshiny, which seemed of itself to revive business along the rlti cr. At any rate there was a•large amount of freight takerito the wharf and received on the boats. We have not seen a more lively day on Water strrt for a long time. It reminded one of old Urn*, before the war, when the river was open to theeity of New Orleans. Yesterday's freight seemed to'be chiefly for Wheeling, Louisville, St. Zonis, St.. Paul , and other points up the Mississippi. The river appears to be in good condition for boats, and the spring trade is be ginning tn good earnest. Nearly everything we saw shipped was of Pittsburgh manufacture which speaks well for the trade of this place. Meeting of MereSants.,—The Iron association met yesterday and agreed to advance one half cent on sheet Iron per pound. There appeared to be a difference of opinion among them on this movement. Some members op• posed the measure strongly, while others /Wyo. cated it. •It was tLnally agreed to let the price of nails stand as formerly. There seems to be good reasons for this ad vance. Labor 'is higher than formerly add justice to those who furnish capital would seem to apprc ve the measure. Of course i•en labor Is cheaper iron will again conic down in propor tion, and labor will be cheaper when farming productions fall in price and no sooner. Railroad Accident—We learn from pas sengers on the cars, that an accident occurred withthe mall train on the Penna. Railroad from the Ban, due here at one o'clock yesterday, by which the train was detained Our hours. The accident occurred about forty miles beyond Al toona. The cars ran or the track resulting in injury to the locomotive, which caused the de• tention.
