Breartng—We learn from the Sioux City Register, theta party ef the eth lowa cavalry were grating horses a abort &stenos from Fort Randall, when they were *Melted by Itultana and one map #.4lca. The mildierir being unarmed retreated to the fort, when the Indiana seized and made away with 411COSO tam or twenty hones. Boys led.—An accident of a most dis treising character occurred at the Corner of Lib erty and Harrison street, on Monday afternoon, resulting in the death of two boys named John Kerr and William McCord. It appears that two freight trains were standing on. the north track on Liberty street, with a space between them at the Harrison street crossing. The boys, who were playing about the trains, started to run across Liberty street towards the hill, when they were struck by a freight train, which was being backed towards the outer depot, and thrown under the cars.. The wheels of one car passed over the body of young Kerr, completely disembowelipg him. His head was also crushed in a horrible manner, and his body otherwise mangled. He was about fourteen years of age, and his parents reside in a court off'Spring alley, near where the accident occurred. McCord was thrown under the wheels, which passed over his neck, severing the jugular vein. fie was between eleven and twelve years of age, and was a son of Mr. Isaac McCord, who resides on the hill above Liberty street, and in the vi cinity where the accident took place. Both boys were killed instantly. Some time af ter the accident the bodies were removed to their parents' residences. It is supposed that the train which were standing on the north track prevented the boys from seeing the one which was approaching. The conductor of the train was standing on the front car, and as soon as he saw the boys fall The signaled the engineer to atop the train, which was 'done almost imme diately, but not in time to prevent the accident. Coroner :VlA:Clung held an inquest on the bodies yesterday morning at Alderman Donaldson's office, Penn street. Mayor's Wilts.—Yesterday was another conspicuous day at the Mayor's office. The fo. rum was crowded, and the cases were of an un usual character. One of the cues which attracted unusual at tention was that of a truant husband, named Washington Haalett, of McKeesport, who was in the act of running away with a cyprian of Allegheny City, named Nancy Dinividdie. Has let is a married man, and has an amiable wife and one child. He sold all his property oft - the other day, and by some previous arrangement met with this girl, and the two were about to elope, when they were taken into the costal} , of I the police and locked up in the cells. The Iffy- ing and devoted wife, true to the inatincia and undying affection of a good woman, took her position immediately outside of the cell in n Lich her truant husband was confined, and refused to I leave till her worse half was released. The Mayor told her that he (tity husband) did not deserve such attentions.. She replied that it WAS natural for a woman to lore her husband. The Mayor told her to go among her friends and get some dinner, and he would dispose of the ease after dinner. She replied that she yould go and wait at her husband's cell till he would be released. Her fidelity was as remarkable as his infidelity, and certainly tells well on Iv'r part. The Isar ties were released in the afternoon, and took I their departure with a brother-in-law for Ta- Death of Corporal w. Byers—We re gret to hereto chronicle the death of this yob, g man, who fell in tho midst of one of those san guinary engagements, before Petersburg, which have been distinguished for their ferocity and carnage. He was shot through the head on the 18th day of June, and was burled on the follow ing night by three men detailed for the purpose who took advantage of tho fog to inter, without discovery, the remains of their gallant comrade.

A Rlot.—John Brady, Barny Brady, Philip Metiregon, John Riley and Peter Murphy, were charged with the offense of committing a riot and of maltreating Joseph O'Hanlan, James O'Hanlan, Andrew McKee and Christ. Dunn, at the Four Mile Run, Pitt township, on Sun day evening, the 26th inst., at the public works of Jones ht Laughlin. Warrants were issued for the arrest of the rioters. The parties who appeared at the Mayor's office were terribly used up and two who were not present were said to be unable to leave their beds. A Fleet Fight.—The Oairo Democrat speaks of a fleet fight, or rather a land and fleet tight, as follows : On Thursday night of last week, I AND quite a battle took place at Columbia, Arkar .

The boats were too hard for the rebs, who retired, to break out in some new place. Corns and Buntons.—We take pleasure in announcing the fact that Dr. Randall, who , per formed so many cures ( - nuttily of inveterate corns, diseased nails and bunions has returned to the city, and may be found at No. 20 Fifth street. Dr. R. has cured many eases where the patient had tried all systems before, and has certificates from Thomas M. Marshall, esq , Wm. Phillips, Ell Young, and many well known citizens who have suffered from these trouble some pests. On Saturday we were shown the following certificate from Henry Briggs, of Beaver county : "Dr. Randall extracted a most painful oorn for me last summer—the same in flamed my foot and rendered me perfetcly lame, but in less than ten minutes I was ready to leave his office, and have never felt a twinge since. His cures are invaluable, and I wish his skill encouragement." Dr. R. has made this branch of Surgery the study of many years. as thousand of tcattmoni- ' els from all parts of the world clearly establish, and it is admitted by Surgeons and Physicians of Medical Schools and Colleges that he is the j only real chiropodist in this continent. Office hours from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m.

Morris Daniels the celebrated wild beast tamer will be accompanied in an open barouche by his pet Tiger, which in its self is a sight well worth seeing. The first perform ance of this mammoth establishment will he given at 7 o'clock on Thursday evening. Theatre—The entertainment at the Theatre to-night, which will be varied and entertaining, will be for the benefit of the "leading lady"of the company, Mrs. Kate Ryner. The talented and versatile beneficiary, deserves well of our iday goers, Besides being an actress of great care and industry, allele an old Pittsburgh favorite, whlch'entitles her to a share of the care and at tention which our people are always ready to bestow upon genuine merit. We trust to see a full house at the theatre this evening. inde pendent of - Mrs. Ryner , s claims as a meritorious actress, there is one other reason why she should be patronised liberally by our people. Bet husband, at the first call of his country, obeyed the impulses of is patriotic nature, and joined the army, where he is still, exposing him self to,the perils of the field. For three years he has braved death on many occasions, and the silent plodding, laborious wile of Bush a soldier has large claims upon our care and at tention. Let tiff therefore give Mrs. Ryan a substantial benefit; ed the entertainment she offers Is well select.

WAsniNoTos, June 28,—T0 Major General Dix: Dispatches from General Grant, dated yesterday, report no opera tions in front except from our own guns, which fire at the bridge at Petersburg, some 2,000 yards distant. Petersburg papers of the 25th state that Hunter is striking Jackson river depot, about forty miles north of Salem, and says if he reaches Covington, which they suppose he will do, with most of his force, but with the loss of some of his material, he will be safe. The same panel• states that Gen. Will son destroyed a train of cars loaded with cotton and furniture, burned a depot and at Burnsville destroyed the track, and was still pushing South. All the rail roads leading into Richmond are now destroyed, some of them badly. A dispatch from Sherman, received this morning, reports that yesterday he made an unsuccessful attack on the ene my's position. We lost between two and three hundred, particularly heavy in officers. Gen. Harker is reported mortally wounded; Col. Daniel McCook, com manding brigade; Col. Rice 57th Ohio, very seriously; Col. Barnedell 40th Ill inois and Col. Augustine 55th Illinois, killed. We took a few prisoners, but don't suppose we inflicted a heavy loss on the enemy, as he kept behind parapets. (Signed,) E. M. STANTON.

'F , special dated City Point, 'June 2G, (Sun day) says: The attack on Sheridan's cavalry day before yesterday, While marching from White House to the James river, was a very determinedland bloody affair. They made what hey considered ample arrangements to rap ture his guns, trains and most of 'his command. Details of the affair hate not yet transpired here up to the depar ture of the mail boat, bit it is knOwn that the enemy fell upon the brigade comprising the rear guard with great fury, and at first threw them into much confusion. They immediately rallied to cover this movement, and held the en emy's cavalry and infantry in check until the balance of the command could be brought to. their support, when , a general battle ensued bet ween our mounted and dismounted cavalry, and cavalry, infantry and artillery on t,lie part of the enemy. General Sheridan acted on the defen sive, and repelled several of the most desperate assaults that could possibly be made. Ilis light artillery was brought into play, and it was admirably served. The fighting was at short range, and canister shot was used with terrible effect. At the end of the conflict he succeeded in beating them off, though greatly sti r perior in number, and resumed his march to James river without the loss of a gun or wagon. His killed, wounded and missing may reach five hundred; among whom arc four Colonels. Latest from the Front—An Attack on Burnside—The Health of the Troops. lIEADOCARTERS ARMY OF TILE POTO' MAC, June 27.—An attack was made on Burnside at about one o'clock on Satur day night with the intention of driving back a working party who were engaged in digging entrenchments towards the enemy's front, so as to gain a better po sition in which to place guns to effectu ally cover the enemy's works. The firing was very brisk for about an hour, resulting in our men holding their ground and continuing their labors without loss of much consequence. The health ni thn troops in the main is good considering the approaching hot weather. The Eleventh corps seems to have the greatest number in the hospi t d from the, effects of the weather. The colored troops are reported as being un affected by the heat. Sergeant Jackson, in charge of the Fourth Division Hos pital, Ninth corps, reports that in that division only 40 men nut of 4000 were unfit for duty when they were put in slant on Tuesday last to relieve the Sec ond corps. This shows how much bet ter they ran endure the scorching rays of the sun than the white troops. Official from Secretary Stanton— Operations in General Hunter's Department. WASHINGTON, June 28, 4 P.

Running short of ammunition and finding it impossible to collect sup plies while in the presence of an enemy believed to be superior to our force in numbers cud constantly receiving reinforcements from Richmond and other points, I deemed it best to withdraw, and have done so without serious loss to this point, when we met with an abundant supply afoot].

'Never before suns there such a wool crop in old Tuscarawas. The prices range from 75 to 87. The Coshocton Democrat says ' Them Is an immense wool crop in this county, which Is rapidly selling from 75 to SO. We are astonished that farmers will thus give away wool, as Si) cents now is not more than 40 in gold, Every species of woolen goods are three times , as high now as they were when wool was 40 to , 60 cents ; and, In proportion to the rise in every- thing else, wool ought to be $1 to $1 25—and Would be if (armors would unite in demanding it. Why the farmers are making such haste to exchange their wool, which is better than gold. fur constantly depreciating greenbacks, at such I prices, we cannot imagine.
