Mr. Kerr was born in the year 1778 and came to Pittsburgh in 1801, when Wood street was a oom field, and when bears could occasionally be seen prowling around where Allegheny city now stands. Ever since that time he has been a res ident of Pittsburgh or its vicinity. After arriv ing here he commenced to work in the only Brewery then in or near the city and which sup plied the entire population At that time with malt liquors. He was afterwards engaged in various enterprises in and about the place. In a conversation with him a few days ago he gave us a history of the times, when the different turnpikes leading into the city were made, and when steamboats were first used on the rivers and the excitement consequent therefrom* He stated that he had, on more than one occasion, been interrogated by Mr. N. B. Craig and others In regard to his knowledge of the olden time, and bethought that most of the incidents with which he was familiar are recorded in the wri tings of that gentleman. Hisjmind did not seem to be the least impaired up to the very hour of his death. He is now gone from us and we see another evidence of the great truth that “one generation passeth away rind another genera tion cometh.” The One Hnndrcd and Thirty-Ninth Pa. Regiment. —The 139th Regiment, Lt. 001. W. H. Moody, commanding, which was attached to Getty’s Division of Sedgwick’s Cbrps, behaved moat gallantly in the late bat tles and has suffered severely—losing 19S men, which is more than one-third of the whole num ber- Truly this veteran regiment has stood its ground, for military authorities say that a loss of one-fourth Is most sanguinary and will ordi narily put troops to flight. Not so, however, with these veterans. Tl.ey have, during a year and a half of arduous service, passed through all the battles of the army of the Potomac. All praise is due to the survivors of this gallant regiment, and the highest sonors should be awarded to the remains oflhsmany who have offbredup their lives in their country’s cause. MtvJor Snyder of Mer cer county, was killed, but we have learned no further particular?. Col. Snyder was a gallant officer, a good sol dier, and hla loss will be severely felt. We also learn that Adjutant Albert M. Har per, aon of John Harper, esq., of this city, was severely though not dangerously wounded, and is now at Fredericksburg. Adjutant Harper has served with marked ability and bravery, through all the battles or the regiment, and-U is with pleasure we inform his numerous friends that his recovery from his Injuries will be certain If not speedy. B. L. H. Dabbs.—This morning Mr. Dabbs opens his large Photograph Booms at No. 48 St. Clair street, opposite the St. Clair Hotei. These rooms will, we think eclipse anything of the kind in the cities of Pittsburg or Alle gheny. The first room, or the reception room. Is one vast display of the most beautiful and life-like pictures that we ever saw. The entire walls arc lined with these, while the show case is filled with choice Albums, ranging in price from 60 cents to 60 dollars. In the rear of this great picture gallery, is a waiting room, well carpeted and furnished with excellent cush ioned chairs, and mirrors, where a large number of persons can be accommodated. The second story is a large laboratory, of working rooms containing artists’ rooms, finishing rooms and printers 5 apartments. The third story contains the sky-light apparatus, consisting of cameras, chemical rooms, Ac. The largest instrument we ever saw for taking negatives is in this room. It is called the Extra Mammoth In strument. The screens In the sky-light are so arranged as to secure any shade of light and to control completely the blending of light and shade. The rooms are all 1 arge—perhaps the largest In the city. They Are all newly painted and furnished and are certainly worth visiting. We hope Mr. Dabbs will have a rush today to visit these rooms. Toall'Wbo x&cea Light.—There is a man ufactory at Frankfort, Pa., where the Messrs. Van Kirk A Co., produce the greatest quantity imaginable of the most beautiful styles of Gas Fixtures, Chandeliers, Bronze Figures and Or naments, Coal Oil Bui nets, Lam p Goods, Ac. as well as Boiled, Sheet and Platers’ Brass. The firm have salesrooms at 912 Arch St., Phila delphia, whence their magnificent productions find their way into all the palaces and residen ces throughout the Quaker city. Their manufac tures are Justly and widely celebrated. Mr. W. Harry Peeples, the agent for the firm is now in Plttaburgh,and,being a very clever business man. and withal a gentleman of culture and travel, our citizens will therefore be enabled to supply themselves with any of the articles above enu merated, of the very best quality and finish. Pennsylvania Wounded Soldiers.—A large number of Pennsylvanians assembled last evening at the rooms of their State Ageut on Seventh street above E, in Washington City, in response to a call for a meeting of the Pennsyl vania Belief Association. Hon. J. K. Moor head, President of the association, was in the chair, and in behalf of the citizens of Pittsburgh and vicinity advanced $l,OOO to purchase neces saries forthe relief of the soldiers of the .Mate wounded In the late battles. Other .-ui serip tloas were made, and It was resolved to send a half dozen agents at once to the front with sup plies and comforts for the suffering. Stonewall Jackson*—We acknowledge the receipt of a splendid Lithograph likeness of Stonewall Jackson, from W. A. Gfldenfenny, No. 45 Fifth street, who has them for sale. They can hfhari- alsoof James GhftUe%&3fiatft Philadelphia. The likeness is taken from a photograph of that General and strikingly Im presses the beholder with the characteristics of the rebel chieftain. We also acknowledge the receipt of the “Life of John Morgan and his Men, 55 a book ot about one hundred and fifty pages well bound.

Ont of Business —We called around at the Mayors office yesterday afternoon. We re ceived information that -three boyß, whose names are Snyder, Dunbar, and Collier had been arrested and put In the city prison. It was aKi terwards ascertained, by a telegram from their parents, who live in Philadelphia, that the boys had left that city without the consent of their parents. They are from twelve to fifteen yean old, and were well armed, each one hav lng a rifle, a bowie knife, and a revolver, with powder horn, belt, fishing equipments, needles and thread. They stated that they were going on an expedition out west, perhaps to hunt game. They Are quite lively And intelligent boys, and no doubt were out of work at home, I and desired to find something to do. Their pa i rents have been apprized of their arrest and no doubt will come or send for them. The telegram was sent to Mr. Long, chief of the police of this city, and they were arrested by Mr. Long and Mr. Kemp aao ther policeman. This incident affords another evidence that many boys, especially in cities are. ruined for want of something to do. They are not wicked or evil disposed naturally, but that ambition which is implanted within the breast of every human being impels them to action, and when j they can find nothing good to do, they will em bark in enterprises that are not praiseworthy . j Capt. Williams, gave us a ufialmy exhibi tion on last evening. The house uas not crowd ed, but those present seemed not only pleased, but delighted with the whaling business. We were sorrow that the Captain did not invite us into his little boat among the crew. We have the reputation of falling ont and firmly believe that we could fall over board with as much grace as any tyro. Those who love wit and fun should call at Masonic Hall and spend-one evening with the Captain catching whales. There la no extra charge for laughlng. Tlie Clrcu*.—Gardner, Hemmlngs h Go's, great American circus will exhibit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 23d, 24th and 25th days of May at the Red Lion Hotel , near the St. Glair street Bridge. There will be two exhibi tions each day. Onr exchanges speak of this troupe of Aa> bats And Equestrians as being unrivalled... The circus will enter the city with a band, seated in a magnificent golden chariot, rending the air with strains of the most enrapturing music. For particulars see advertisement in our papethead ed, Wait for the real show. A Pocket Picked.— A drover from Ohio, named Thomas D. Williamson, had twelve hundred dollars taken from him at the Federal street passenger depot|Allegheny city, by some person or persons unknown. No developments were made in regard to the case up to nine o’clock last night. There were two other cAaes leiore Maybr Alexander on last evening, one for assault and battery, and one for larceny, but as the Jcases are not yet tried, we cannot give the names. The Old Theatre.—The performances last evening were interesting as usual, and the hours was well filled. No one need desire a better place to spend an evening. We bespeak for tliis old Institution, the patronage of the liberal and appreciating classes. This evening Ettie Henderson appears as the Widow <:heerly,in the ever-favorite old romo dy of the Soldier’s Daughter. The evening )pcr formance will conclude with the Maniac Lover. & A New Machine.—M r. Greer of the firm of Greer & Boyd, have invented a coal-digriag machine, which with the aid of a t wenty-horse power engine, would perform the work of one hundred men. Mr. Greer stated at the meeting of the Coal Exchange that a model oi this ma chine would be on exhibition at the Sanitary Fair Gymnastic Association.—This Associa tion will hold an exhibition for the benefit of the Subsistence Committee, this evening in the Athemeum Buildings. Let this generous propo sition be responded to as becomes the citizens of our far-famed city. A soldier of the Army of the Potomac writes where sugar of lead and opium failed to cure Diarrhceaand Dysentery here, Rankin's Spiced Blackberry acted like a charm.

FIRST EDITION. “Old Longstreet” Whipped by Burnside. Our Army Cheerful and Hopeful. Lee Admits his Supplies Cut Off. How Gen. Sedgwick was Killed. Washington, May 10.—The Army of the Potomac ha.l a portion of the day to recuperate. Gen. Burnside on Monday began the attack on the left with fury, and with an encouraging degree of suc cess. He had a fight the day before, iu which to use his own words, “we whip ped old Longstreet.'’ Our army could not be in a more cheerful condition—all the men arc sanguine of success, and count the days when they shall enter the rebel Capital. Gen. Lee i«sued an order relative to supplies, in which he said the communi cation to Richmond was cut off, and it was impossible to furnish the men with stores. Gen. Hill’s corps had no rations issued for three days. Lee enjoins upon his men the necessity of capturing sup plies from the Yankees. Up to this moment they have failed to rapture a single wagon. The roads arc in excellent marching order, hut very dusty. Ail the battles thus far have been a series ot attack or repulses, musketry was altogether used, the swampy nature of the ground rendering,artillery imprac ticable. Gen. Lpc very absurdly Haims a vic tory when lie withdraws lrout. our from and retires towards Richmond. ? i and (lent-ral Tarbott’s Division of cavatiy whipped the rebel cavalry near this place, and drove them from Sp'ottyslvania, hut being reinforced with infantry, they drove our cavalry a short distance. The Maryland Brigade, Fourth Division, Sixtli Corps, coming to their support, ti.e fighting was exceedingly fierce. Generals Tarbott and Robinson were both wounded. Den. Sedgwick was shot through the iiead od Monday morning while superin tending the moving of some heavy guns on an angle, which the men had just pre pare! There was no skirmishing at the time, hut an occasional sharpshooter sent a bullet in that direction - ' - - - Fight Between Gunboats and a Ram Gunboat “Bombshell' Recaptured Rebel Ram Compelled to Retreat Nf.w York, May 11.— A Herald cor respondent writes from Newbern, North Carolina, on the Till: On Thursday af ternoon, the Tth inst, the rebel ram "Al bemarle." accompanied by its statelite Cotton Plant" and army gunboat "Bombshell," captured by them at Ply mouth, appeared: it the mouth of the Roanoke river. The gunboats Miami. Whitehead, Ceres, and Commodore Hull, lying close to the river in the Sound, on pciceiving the ram designing to enter the Sound, they made off. as though fearful of an encounter, but only anxious to draw the ram into the Sound. Tho nun followed in pursuit about twelve miles, when the gunboats “Snsßa cus,' ''Wyoming’' and “Mattabesett," doublc-emJiTS appeared. Our gunboats, seven in number, immediately opened fire, and a terrific engagement ensued, lasting front'five till eight p. m. During the early part of the battle, the pCotton Plant" succeeded in making her escape. The ram tired rapidly, slowly and stead ily retreating up the Sound. The gun boat Bombshell was soon retaken with all on board, some thirty-four in num ber The Sassacus having an iron prow, steamed with full speed and ran into the ram, striking her abaft ’the centre, but without inflicting any injury. The 9as saens, however, was compelled to retire, having her forward rudder knocked off and a 100. pound parrot shot, fired by the ram, th-ough her boiler. Night had now set in and the move n tents of the ram could not be accnratelv discovered. Closely pursued by the gunboats and under darkness the ram succeeded in gaining and entering Roa noke river, where the gunboats could uot venture to enter. The ram carried at least four 100- pounders. She has not been seen since, but measures are being taken to capture or destroy iter. Reliable reports from Kingston report that the rebel ram Neuse is high aground. Sire draws 7$ feet of water, and the river is only 4.J feet in depth. The rebels have for the present abandoned it, and taken the engine out. Requisition for 200 Surgeons. A Battle Probable in the Southwest, Troops Moving Up the Kanawha Valley. Cincinnati, May 11.—The War De partment yesterday made a requisition on the State Surgeon General for 200 Ser-. geons, to go on duty in the hospitals at Louisville, Nashville, and other points in that direction. This and other little things go to show that a great battle is going on or has been fought near Dalton, though not a word has been allowed to come through. It is believed the assault on Johnston was simultaneous in the front and rear. A heavy body of troops is moving up the Kanawha valley. Avcrill’s cavalry readied Logan Court House on the 4th. Crook’s infantry had passed Prilbetoji without seeing the enemy. The telegraph is being rapidly pushed toward Lewisburg. The draft is going forward quietly in this city. There was heavy rain with snow last night. P. Butler in Another Battle. New York, May 11th. —The Herald, says it is probable Butler had another se vere battle yesterday. Likely a great battle between Union iron-clsds and reb el iron clads was commenced yesterday. There are five Union and three rebel iron clads expected to take part in the en gagement. A Dalton correspondent of the Atlan ta Register avers that there has been a greater concentration of the Union for ces in the direetton of Chattanoogasthan is reported on the Potomac. The Ra leigh Press confirms the statement. The Battle Probably Benewed Washington, May 10.—It Is believed from the reports which have reached here to-night, that there’-vvasjrq-genejtaL engagement yesterday, but, asjheavyfir: ing. was’heard this morning at Acqula Creek, in the direction-of Spottsyjvatjh | Court House, the fightlng/rapst have been renewed: Our forces do not occu py the latter place, but are within sever almiles ofit 4, ecP-are reaeJmjg. &eclfflackßDurg, and Ht*ny wounded officers are expected to arrive at Washington to-morrow. ‘ LATEST BY TELEGRAPH t : Dispatch from Gen.

New Y'obk, May 11. —The Tribune's special gives a sketch of a series of bat tles after that of Saturday. Gen. War ren’s Corps passed on Saturday night for the front and at sunrise were within 20} miles of Ppottsylvania, and imme diately were put into action to relieve the cavalry. The enemy were also just in time for a similar movement, and Stewart’s cavalry were simultaneously relieved by Longstreet’s Corpsof infan try. The Corps tired with a long nights’ march rushed into action with a double quick. Gen. Robinson's Division, lead ing, charged the rebels, who yielded be fore them, and we drove them on for j three miles. The loss in the engage- t ment in this mofning’s fight was severe. Our ;oss;s were great. Gen. Robinson j was wounded, bat we Hi urged them so | far and so impetuously that our men i were outflanked on the left and had to i fall back a short distance to form lines : anew. The enemy gained no advan- j tage. for our army was broinrti* into :r tion ami tlw rebels were unable to o..vu py the position which on; men had abandoned. The fitlj Corps had suffered in the previous tight so severely that, j tiiere was niA a single Division of it in ' perfect fighwng trim, but Gen. Augur, ; commanding the regulars, filed in from ! the right and the position was held. j Another desperate? effort must be ! made before that position would be in our possession ; that point once reached an open country and a fair battle field lay before us. About noon the batteries were posted, our 9 on the edge of a piece of woods, theirs on the opposing hill. The dis charge of shell for some time was quite brisk and severe. As the enemy ap preached, (ien. Grant started to the front to take a gianceat theposit'on and inspire our troops for the grand onset which was now to he made. Before lie arrived at our left bank a battle of musketry from the advance skirmishers and the straggling back of wounded men, indicated that the moment had al most arrived. The troops from the Ith and 6th Corps, in several heavy lines, were concentrated in front of the posi tion to which the rebels had fallen back from after the engagement in the early part of the dav. Gen. Wright's Division, already distinguished by most gallant conduct to..k theieadand at 6.30 o'clock a shout \v..s tai'-cd and the ailjtek com menced. As our troops moved out of the woods through a narrow open spat e. anil up a thicket which was held and fortified by the enemy, at 7: Id, as the light began to fade away, head of filing began to cease and now the enemy com” menced to give way, and the shouts of our men receding as the enemy were pushed along showed that the results of the attack were favorable, and decided we had broken the enc-my .md driven them from-thc position which they had so strongly contested. But the darkness was now so great we could not safely press them further, and Spottsylvania Court House still remained that night in the hands of the rebels. Morulay was spent by us in camp, both for the much needed rest and re plenishing the army with rations. Llo t lanfced on the Right and Left. He Las been Driven Across the South Anna River.
