The Coming Draft. Our city had better rouse itself to action, and make the necessary preparations for recruiting volunteers, if she desire to avoid the draft, and relieve us from the many evils which attend it. The Eastern cities are already making great preparations towards this important matter, and are forming conventions in order to raise volunteers and keep the draft on' from their households. it would be hut a prudent meas ure on our part ff we were to 'follow their ex ample, because it we do not this, we will af terwards have to treat- the consequences. The more men we volunteer, the sooner our quota will be filled, and consequently the hard hand of the draft wla lose halt its terrors. We eer ftinly hays already sent an incredible number of men to the field, but we are called upon to raise more, and we must do It either willutely or compulsorily, with this difference, tbnt to the former ease we will obtain the bounty, while in the latter we will have to don the unthsrm without a cent to pay us for our trouble. The state or the question is not ''to go or not to go,” but • . to go with the tmunty or wittioot ft ' With this convilicitp argument bclore as, and under exlettng,,cir,:iitostatice s , will Ike Lid .;., all in Our power to foliose volutiteertog and reti tlet It populat ' Lau men lor '!stied by the citi zens to form q con, cotton to avoid the tirntt let volu steel tug committee, he lot med to re --•'• trait men into the a 4 i;.ce, and let Our citizens oiler every inducement in their power to those who wish to enroll their names under the recent call. Ourcityjnto nine sit,old also mani fest more willingness and alacrity towards the promotion of the same object. Let them pro pound the most prudent .measures to be adopt ml, and with their words and example do all in their power to avert the impending evil. They have more obligations on that score than we have. We simply speak for the good of the city and the State, while they believe It their duty, together with the above, to support also the present Administration. Time is short, and we must make the most of it, or we must hear the consequences ; but if our advice be follow ed we have reason to hope that either there will be no draft at all, or oue whose quota may be Oil lu Kansas.—We are indebted to Seth Clover, est., of KflllklAd, tor some face in Fels tio to the existence of oil in Kansas, which may be of general interest. Mr. Clover lives In Mi ami county, Kansas, near Paola,the county seat , a town containing about fifteen hundred inhabi tants and at present the headquarters of the Union army in that State. A creek, celled by the Indians, Wen Creak, runs through Miami county, along which are several springs, on the waters of which an abundanceof petroleum le found, possessing all the putlittes of the Oil City petrolvm, In fact, It Is pronounced by good Judges to he a holler lobrihnling oil than the Allegheny petroleum. Mr. Clover has sam ples of this oil along, the tirst, we believe, that teas ever discovered in Kansas. Wells will be sunk as soon as companies can be homed, and scientific investigations made. Paola la about .1;5 tulles from Kansas city, and 60 tulles tram Leavenworth, located 00 tl,e Port Hcott stage road, and about '2\lo 35 tulles from the Pacific railroad This oil is said Lu I.e so }dent) As to La easily gathered with n spoon from the top of the stand_ tog puddles of water. Ti illy, the freaks of na ture are wonderful in the developments of this petroleum. A few years ego oil wee not known, now it Is a stapte y In Pennsy/vania and Virginia, And is breaking our even In the Western States And territot les. We are informal on reliable au thot Hy [hat his Holiness the Pope, 'wishing most sincerely to patronize the Sanitary' Pair ot o,ir city, ha, eent a donation to the same which delays hal a prevented t rom arriving In time. 'rile donation is said to cousiet of some exquisite works of art, such as cameos, photographs, ad., and would certainly produce a great impression on the community if exposed to the public. The Rev. Dr. Keogh, President of St. Michael's Seminary, Glenwood, will convey them to Pittsburgh on his return from New York, when we shall be enabled to witness thia beautiful present of the Holy Father, who, amide: his present troubles and in so many instances, has tendered hie aym. pathy and relief to the sick and wounded soldier of the far West. Cases of hydrophobia are bedmin: very Prevalent, and several deatha have occurrelby this terrible malady having been Quntracted through the bite of a rabid dog. The greatest precaution should be seed in rard to those an imals during the present season of the year, and they should be restricted as much as possi ble, by keeping them inside doors, or using muzzle when otherwise, as the danger la great, and once the malady shows its Influence on the patient, his recovery is usually despaired of. In our city, these restrictions are not enforced as well as they should b., and although many serious accidents have not as yet occurred,' still it is better to keep out of harms, way by using ordinary precautions. On a Strike.—We understand that - the blacksmiths, machinists and other laborers of the Pittsburg and Cleveland Railroad Comps. ny are on a strike. It 1-, stated as a cause for the strike, that they have not rmmtved their back pay regularly. A committee was sp.. pointed by the proper authorities of the ramd to make some arrangement with the strikers, but up to this time nu terms have been made. The company is represented as doing an im mense business, and if there was any neglect in paying up promptly, It must have been an oversight, as the company certainly have the funds. Mechanics and. other employees need their wages promptly during these hard -times and high rates. 24th District,—Washington add Greene counties did not supply many men for the army during the last draft. It is stated that in 'one case out of ninety-eight men reporting, seventy nine men paid their commutation ; seven were dismissed for physical disability ; six were over forty-five years of age ; two were non -reel dents; two were dead; one is now in the ser vice ; one is an alien; one a minor, and one was dismissed on account of the quota being filled. This makes all of them and one or two more who escaped the draft. More About the Pyre.—We visited the scene of the conflagration in Allegheny city yes terday evening and found the charre d remains still burning. The block of buildings that was burned stood out by ;themselves separated by a street and the grounds of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne fs Chicago Railroad Company, on one aide and Seminary }Lill on the other, otherwise the fire would have certainly spread and form ed much more of the city as everything was as dry as a hot sun could make it.

Fire hi Allegheuy We noticed yesterday that there was a tire raging in Allegheny city about the time our paper went to the Press. Since-then the particu lars of the fire have been partially obtained. The tire originated in the Union Planing Mills, situated on hLanon Avenue, resulting in the total destruction of the property, together with a large amount Of valuable machinery. Some say the fire originated in a coops -shop adjoin ing the planing-mill, and belmiging to Mr. John lleyla. The flames then communicated to a small frame building occupied by Mr. Meakl men, which was also consumed. A train of six cars, loaded with coal, which were standing on a side track In the re sr of the will, were totally destroyed. The plaining mill was occupied by Mr. Lamb and Messrs.

NEW Yank, July 22.—A herald cor respondent, writing From Hilton Head on the 13th, says: Since my last letter there has been severe fighting by our forces on Johnson Island, under Gener al Hatch, comprising part of the recent expedition. Gen. Saxton sent a regi ment on Thursday to attack the rebel right, where a battery has been stationed. The men charged at a double quick and so furiously that the enemy retired in great confusion. They came very near capturing the battery. which bad just time to limber up and be off with con siderable lot, A fight occured on Saturday morning, the enemy having their reinforcements. The attack was made by the rebels,who advanced about four o'clock, and during a heavy fog, and drove in our pickets, nearly opposite the fort. At a quarter before six o'clock they advanced in force, and a fight of fifteen minutes fol lowed, in which the rebels were thor oughly repulsed. At about half-past six o'clock the enemy made another advance and attempted to carry our position by assault. Our troops reserved their fire till the rebels were almost upon them when, with double shotted guns, they opened with grape and cunnistur, mos.- ing down the advancing column by the score. • The infantry also kept up an accurate and continuous fire with musketry at such a short range that great havoc was made, in five minutes from the time of the attack, upon the enemy, without their haying reached our front rille-pits. Their artillery then opened on us with great fury, and their infantry took shel ter. Gur loss in killed, wounded and missing, was only eighty-two. Some of the wounded were only slightly inured.

The Wool Trade. 'I he wool buyers are very industrious circu lating the report of the awful stringency in the money market,and, of a natural consequence, the certainty and reasonableness of a deprecia tion of wool. This argument was anticipated. in our weekly report of the wool trade in our issue of the Atli, and the fact of wool sustaining itself and advancing during the first week of the panic wasgiven as unmistakable evidence of its real and Mir - Math: value, showing there was no ticticiOurinesa in the price it had attain.. ed, and that it Was self-evident It must continue to advance until It coinmands a price commen surate to its worth and importance, in compari son with other articles of necessity. There is no doubt money has been very tight in New York City for a few days, commanding at the rate of le to 31 per cent, per annum, for call loans. It must be borne in mind that it takes from live to six times as much money to carry on any manufacturing other business as did in 1860, and in all sessona panics in money matters Occur. our present money panic !abut temporary, and certainly not unexpected, having a change in our Secretary of Treasury. The forthcoming loan now on the tapis will coon regulate the money market, I3eaides,then, is now a very con siderable part of the money paid for wool and other Western products finding its way back to New York City In payment of woolen and other goods now being so largely purchased by whole sale western merchants. With our present tarily and until gold becomes steady at 30 o 60 er cent. premium ou greenbacks, the wool t grower p is very male to ruatiMpating positively on "a good time soon earning, ' when he will realize 41,25 to 41 60 ttl It, for desirable wool. It is said foreign wool in our Eastern cities could be bought for coat prices, payable in gold. Impotters base all their transactions on a gold haals--it requires gold to pay for their commod ity in foreign eonntries, and also to pay duty, a.c., therefore they claim coin atones legitimate circulation. The farmers, 6:.c. (the bone and atnew of our colintry) find no difficulty, getting along very comfortably with greenbacks, they pay for land, taxes, debts, and loran things ne emery for them to purchase. But greenbacks In the hands of Importers and money changereis valued only as they stand rel atively with gold on Foreign Exchange. For in stance gold at 160 per cent premium, over green backs, they then say, they are worth 40 cents on dollar. With our present tariff formed for the porpom of creating revenue and not for protection, and gold at a premium of fif thepire ty r cent. orore the mporters of wool find paying occupation gone. Whilst the 'wool grower, for the first time In years, finds his government incidentally protecting his interest, thereby enabling him to get a mote just price for hie commodity than he has obtained since the incoming of warprices in all things else. The patriotism of the wool buyers by their disinterested perception have discovered the certainty of a (Nick and gloriousz.victon to be achieved by the army of 0 moral Sherman is Georgia, thus ensuring a. enormous gusn of cotton to the north, (how do they know whether their lamuch or little cotton there?) which hurt, they think, very lamer"Y inure the price of wool. Grant, for the sake of ergo ment, that Gen. Sherman shall quickly achieve such a glorious victor}' as will gladden the heart of every Unionhit, an that it will secure for the North millions of bales of cotton, or mere than the South has ever produced in a I ear. It is evident that it cannot be gotten to market and manufactured into.heetry cotton stuffs for fall use. If we should he so fortunate as to get a large supply of cotton its first natural; ission would be to bring down, into seeing and feeling distance, the price of ahirting and other articles of cotton fabrics, calicos, &a, for winter And spring use. In fact, Unless there be more cotton attainable quickly than is probable in the rebel States, wool en goods must raise this fall and winter to an extent that is alarming to the phil antrophiat (taking into consideration our poor- . er population). Wool in this and adjoining counties !shriek at 960 to 10; tendency upward. The U. f 3 Econcimfif of the . 16th says : "Our advicnto wool growers.and importers is to hold on, nd for manufacturem to buy itilthey can get.
