LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. 711E51/AY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1694. . . The Ladies' Christian Coutnelssion The Ladies , Christian Commission is one of those charitable institutions which may be said to spring up as an antidote to the terrible evils of a protracted warfare, and evinces a charity and generosity on the, part of the ladies not to be met with among the cultivated and tender hearted governments of Europe. The tact is, that this war has shown forth the real charai ter of the American ladies, and has openly manifested to the world the abnegation of which they are capable in relieving the sufferings of the soldiers in the hospitals, and in reducing the national taxes as far as they are able. The re fusel of the ladies to purchase any goods unless of home manufacture, although the movement was not entirely successful, still shows that American ladies can scorn even the little luxu ries and vanities of which their °attire seems so fond, and imitate a masculine fortitude when: the welfa?e of their country is concerned. The Christian Commission deserves far greater praise, as this is recommendable for the imme diate service which it affords to the wounded in the hospitals and to the soldiers in the field. bY preparing some of the most r.ecessary articles for the same. This Christian Commission.has met with a complete success throughout the entire North, and we are firm in our opinion, that the success with which it will be hailed in Pittsburgh, will be unsurpassed in any city of the Union. All the ladies in this city should contribute to its advancement, and p.oniote its interests. It is a charitable institution, and is therefore highly appropriate for the ladies, as they never look better than when they are la boring for the poor and suffering, and who can come under that denomination more appropri ately than the soldiers who are laid in the hos pitals fe.erish and wounded, deprived of the most ordinary luxuries which, for a sick man are so requisite, without which it is diffi cult and almost impossible to restore him to healthl Moreover, their country demands that they should perform something, and as we are perfectly aware that the patriotism of the la dies does not yield in the least to that of the soldiers who enlist in the armies of the Union, of course they cannot refrain to make manifest their patriotism, and give to the world an un equalled example of sublime devotion to the country to which they are indebted for protec tion. We are in a special manner opposed to the old maxim, that there never was a dispute or a war in this world, but there was a woman at the head'of it. This maxim needs no other confutation than the present war, for which we are exclusively indebted to the men, but what more glorious and worthy of the ambition of an American lady than to remedy the evils which we have originated? This would be truly a sublime and devoted ambition, and will doubt less attract the attention of those who wish to signalize themselves for some acts worthy of celebrity. Bounties for Soldiers.—The bounties for soldiers at present amount to the sum of $4OO, 0300 for local bounty, and $lOO which is given by the government to all recruits, from whatso ever district they may come. This sum, togeth' er with the pay which IA allotted to the soldiers in the service, is more than any man in online ry circumstances could expect to clear during these times, when the prices of every commod ity are so high that some of the ordinary ne cessaries of life are entirely out of the reach of the poorer classes. Moreover, the army pay wilt be on the increase, as we are informed, after the first of this month, in consequence of the re duction in quantity of rations, which although reduced in part, still are sufficient for any man to consume, and their quantity hasbin di. minished simply because it was discover that , the government, and consequently the people. was undergoing a useless expenditure by fur nishing more rations than any soldier could pos sibly make use of, and consequently an enor mous waste was the result. Under present eir eumitanems, we would deem it advisable for all to seize the opportunity, as the difficulty to keep soul and body together, which is now es great will be on the increase, and it sill be found much more difficult for men to provide for their families at home than in the army. Conferee Meeting.—TheCongressional i;on fereetf for the 24th District met at the Mononga hela:House, in this city, on July 7th, in 'order to nominate a candidate for Congress to suc ceed Jesse Lazier, and continued In session Un til July flth, when they adjourned to meet again on Aug. 3d. The Conferees present at the first meeting were, from Greene county. Jacob Rush, Thos. Hill, and Capt. Harper. From Washington county, WilllamAleßennan, Alex. W. Atchison, and John A. Harper. Front Beaver county, William 13. Clark, J. S. Buten. and Dr. Cummings. From Lawrence county, E. Sankey, D. Craig, and J. J. Haas. But eight octane ballots were taken. The time was spent in discussing the questions arising. on the ann ination. Washingtonand Greene counties were . Instructed for Geo. V. Lawrence. Lawrence:. and Beaver counties were Instructed for Jos. Cunningham. They met again at the appoint ed time and remained in session until last Sat-. urday, and closed the work on the 6th, by the nomination of Geo. T. Lawrence for Congreni.. Dr, Rodgers supplied the place of Jacob Rush, from Greene county; James P. Ripple and Da vid Aiken, supplied the place of Win. McKee nag, and Alex. Atchison, of Watihington; F. D. L. Enibric supplied the place 61 Dr. Cummings, from Beaver county. Bounty Fund in Allegbeny.—The citi zen' of Allegheny are doing their utmost to wards raising a bounty fund, and the measures they have adopted towards that purpose will certainly accomplish that end. In one or two Wards, they Intend to send the names of those "black - sheep , ' to posterity, who fail to ad vances sufficient sum to increase the bounty fund, or who do not give sufficient reason for not having done the same. This is truly a very efficient measure, and,one which cannot possi bly fall. No man could refrain from advancing some money undersuth circumstances as these, and consequently, when the Block chi mmittee will,haul up those who have failed to add a slight sum to the bounty fund, they will cer tainly disburse the required amount sooner than be sent down to posterity as men who were too stingy to aid their fellow-citizens with a few dollars in averting the draft from the city. The Decisions—The Commissioner of In ternal Revenue had announced the following decisions under the tax law : "Tailors; boot and shoemakers, and others who manufacture partly to order and custom work, and partly for general sale, must pay five per cent the same as other manufacturers under ninety-three.. Commission houses, selling goods on consignment, are not to be regarded as Local agents of the manufacturer or producer Of, said goods. Therefore, when the manufacturer makes snail a :consignment, the law requires hlnr to make a retu.n of the same, andlpay duty - au the market value of such goods at the - place of menu, facture or production. In assessing tax upon sales of lime, no de duction is to be made for barrels In which the lime is „packed for sale. but the tax must be computed for gross amount of sales," Hung Himself—We learn that a man named Azarlah Davis, of Bostraver township, Westmoreland county, committed suicide by hanging himself In his barn on last Fridny. 111. s mind for some time past had been somewhat de mented, from what cause we did not hear, and he hail told the faintly to watch him, as he was afraid he .was going to commit the rash act which teriftinated his existence. A. number of his brothers 'and his father committed suicide Gemmel years ago, so it appears that prema ture death Is hereditary in the family. . . • A Pie-Nio will be held *Vokiay itt • the Iran City Park, for the henedi of Bt.

The drill having entered the oil, It burst forth with such surprising velocity, and in so large a quantity, that tqF instruments could not be saved. The gas caught Hie,. -but after some hard work, in which a great deal of skill was displaked, the well was finally brought under control, and will now reward a hundred fold the efforts and expeoseof the owner. Soldiers Sent East. On Sunday thirteen soldiers were sent East from this city, to keep them out of harm's way as they had attempted to make their escape from the Girard House, by breaking through a wall, but were discovered in their attempt by the vigilance of the guard. It would be very difficult for a deserter to suc ceed in making his escape from the guard-house, but still it is more advisable to deter. them en tirely from making the attempt. Injured by a Fall.—Yesteiday a young man, named Johnson, was pretty badly injured by a fall on the corner of Fifth and Wood streets. It appears lira the young man was under the influence of liquor, when a friend of his tried to convey him borne, but Johnson at. tempted to 'extricate himself, and in the at tempt tell from the sidewalk on the street, re ceiving a severe gash on the right side of the forehead. Boy.lilllled.—On Sunday last, a young lad named Purcell, lied at Sharpsburg, after a se vere and protracted suffering. He was attacked a few days before by three of his companions. and thy young villains iused hip so roughly. beating him on ;the head wl:h iron rode, that death ensued. We are not informe 1 whether the perpetrators of the deed were arrested, but they will not escape the deserved punishment. Coroners inquest.—An inquest was held on Tuesday on the body of a man named Wm. Roane, who was found dead in the vicinity of the alen Hotel, about five miles from this city. The man's pockets were stuffed with to matoes, cucumbers, and other raw vegetables, so it is probable that he died from Cholera-mor bus. which is generally occasioned by the im moderate consumption of such vegetables Direct ors Elected.—At a meeting of the stockholders of the Newcastle-and Franklin Railroad Company, held at Newcastle on the 30th ult., the following persona were elected offi cers of the said company : President, Gem IV.

Hera j TELEGR- .P 18th corps correspimderit says of the mine sprunwhy-.the irebels,. that our forces were aware of this intention. It occurred on the afternoon of the 4th, and was immidiiifely•kirecded by rapid and successive volleys of musketry. The smoke from the explosion had hardly cleared away when our men answered the rebel fire, and drowned the rebel cry with their wild cheer of derision at the failure of their mining operations. The enemy in all probability, intended to have blown up a sap we had run out towards their line and charged through the opening. They had, however, sadly miscalculated their distance, and the explosion took place five rods in ad vance of the head of the sap. Not a par ticle of debris was thrown into any por tion of our Bites, and the sharpshooters did not even think it necessary to aban don the sap. The explosion could bear no compar ison in magnitude with that of Burn side's mine. It was immediately per ceived that their mine was a failure, and they were satisfied with rising be hind their works and pouring in a musk etry fire. The'rebels developed no new batteries, and fired with far more accu racy than they have been accustomed to Our losses were but trifling, hardly more than would he sustained through the ordinary picket tiring. That of the enemy must have been more severe, as they exposed themselves the first volley and were in full range of our batteries, which were greatly superior in number to heir 4 The Late Invasion—Rebels Re treating Homewards PIIT LA rummita, August B.—The 111:1 lain has the following dated Harris. burg, August 8:—Colonel Boyd, of the 21st Pennsylvania cavalry, took posses sion of Hagerstown yesterday.

Early Moving Towards Winchester, BAi.vatoaE, Aug. B.—The American furnishes the following in advance of its publication here: We learn from gentlemen who arrived this morning from the Upper Potomac, that the entire rebel force yesterday evacuated the Maryland side of the Po tomac, moving off in great haste, their rear guard crossing at Shepardstown at 11 o'clock, yesterday a. m., and the 41 7 ance crossed at Hancock, about the same time from the south side of the Potomac. We learn that Gen. Early has been moving up the valley t ward's Winches:. ter, with hie harvest trains, during all of last week, scouring the country for eon sr ripte and grain. Information a week since indicated that the rebels would ntake a feint movement on Maryland, merely to cover his retreat trains, which has been verified to the fullest extent, and they are now all moving towards Staunton. Latest From Hagerstown Stores Searched by the Rebels Trains Burned by Our Troops WASFMCGTON,AUg. B.—Tbe Star says, from a gentleman who arrived here '±olirday from Hagersto wn, where he has been sojourning for two weeks past, we get some interesting particulars of the doings of the rebels in that vicinity. When they took possession of the town, they proceeded to institute a search of the stores. As the merchants had not replenished their stocks since the for mer visit of the rebels, the latter got hut little, with the eception of small quan t;ties shoes and hats. At the grocery stores, they filled their haversacks with sugar, and their canteens with molasses. At one or two places, they turned the molasses out, and let it run in the streets. Triiins of ears reported to have bet% burnt by this party when they entered Hagerstown, were destroyed by our troops in order to prevent their falling into the hands of the rebels, as they contained valuable cargoes.
