The Drab.—The time allotted for recruit
ing volunteers is fast going by, and only half of
the fifty days now remains within which the
various towns, wards, Sc., will be allowed to
till their respective quotas under the President's
Last sail for volunteers. The draft is to be made
on Monday, the sth of September. la this city,
and in Allegheny, the. Wards are energetically
at work to secure the required number of men,
and are offering liberal bounties. Some pre
cincts have nearly succeeded in filling the re
quisite quota, while others were not so fortu
nate, and have yet to perform much towards
volunteering. However, the present state of
*thin is encouraging, and if we do not discon
tinue
our efforts, we may entertain hopes of
having them crowned with complete success.
Railroad Accident.—A fatal railroad ac
cident occurred on Wednesday night in the
neighborhood of Johnstown, in which one man
was burnt up, and another was severely injured.
It appears that a freight train westward bound
stood on the main track, while another W
an
heading in the same direction, not far distant.
The latter, not having received the signal in
time from the stationary train, was unable to
cheek its onward course, and the consequence
was a collision. The rear cars of the freight
train were made a completamass of ruins. The,
wreck soon caught lire, an lateen cars, togeth.
ei with their contents, were entirely consumed.
The fireman not being able to extricate himself
from the debris, was burnt up, and the engineer
was severely injured. No doubt the loss to the
company will be severe. ,
Explosion in Lawrenceville.—On Fri
day morning at an early hour, an explosion oc
curred Ittlthe Oil Works of Mr. McMahon,
Lawrenceville. The report from the explosion
was very loud and alarmed the whole neighbor
hood. A large crowd of people was gathered
around the scene of the explosion, and imme
diately a diligent scarab was made to ascertain
if any one was seriously injured. But fortu
nately, the occurrence did not prove so dies
trous as was at first expected, and nobody was
fatally injured. Two men were badly burnt,
and a considerable amount of damage was sus
tained in the Oil Works. We believe the par
ties burned are in a fair way of reeovering, and
the other damage can be soon repaired.
ilail—Storm in Temperance-sitle.—The
heavy rain which fell in our city on Thursday
night, assumed quite a stormy feature around
Temperanceville and Saw Mill Run. A violent
hail-Storm prevailed during a part of the night,
and a gale arose which blew with such fierce
ness that the branches were severed from the
trees, and in some places the trees were entire
ty uprooted. Shingles were torn from the
houses and scattered to the wind, to the great
annoyance of those who wished to enjoy a
night's sleep after their labors. Part of the
crops was also damaged, - but we have not as
cestained whether the lose sustained is of a se
rious character.
60th Maassiebusetts—The 60th Massachu
setts regiment of one hundred day's men stop
ped for a short time in this city, on their way to
Indianapolis. They left Massachusetts nearly a
week ago, and were joined by their comman
der, Colonel Wasa, in Baltimore, whieh city
they left on Thursday. Most of them appeared
in excellent condition, but some few could not
stand the fatigues of military life so well, and
dropped down in the street weak and exhaust
ed, while their companions were partaking of
refreshments.
Meeting In Allegbenr.—A meeting of the
citizens of the Second Ward, Allegheny, was
held last evening, for the purpose of adopting
measures to raise the quota of the Ward, and
avert the draft. The meeting was largely at
tended by the citizens, and they all displayed a
willingness and determination to unite their
efforts in securing their portion of the city from
all lllibillty. The quota of the Ward is quite
large, so that they will have to use their utmost
energy to levy the necessary number of men.
Hoy liChisznpped.—We yesterday notified
our readers of an occurrence in Mononga
hela borough, in which a child named John
Smith, was abducted by some unknown man,
and conveyed to this city. Since then, the child
Was recovered to the great joy of its distressed
parents. It seems the man was partly intoxi
cated, arid seeing the child, be mistook him for
his own, but on discovering his mistake, after a
few hours walk, he retained the child safe and
901=1 to his parents.
188th Pensio. Volunteers.—The above
regiment passed through this city yesterday en
route to Chicago. They had been stationed to
ltiniore during the last three weeks, an.l ar
rived in this city this morning at about four
o'clock, and took their departure about noon.
Although they stopped in this city for about i;ht
hours, owing to the strict discipline preserved
by the commander, Col, iFormanus Neff, no
straggling was allowed, and the men were all in
readiness to start at the houlappolnted.
k Michigan Tsoups.—A squad of men from
the above State, passed through this city yes.
buds/ enroute for the front. There were also
two companies of colored volunteers and sub•
stitutes comprising one hundred and fifty men.
A few members of Company C, 38th Wisconsin
regiment; were in the came train. As yet the
colored troops had not been assigned to any
particular regiment.
Iris* on Wood Street.--A fire broke out
yesterday morning in the cellar underneath the
store of O. 0. Mellor, on Wood street. It orig.
fruited among some straw, which was lying in
the. cellar, but as it soon attracted attention, it
was immediately extinguished before the aid of
the engines was needed. To this fortunate oc
currence, probably the safety of the entire block
is Indebted.

197th Penna. Volunteera.—This regiment
panned through our city, yeaterday, on their
way to Rock Island. They were commanded
by John R. Haalitt, and seemed in excellent
spirit. They stacked arms on Fifth street, for
a while waiting for conveyance to the West,
and amused themselves with cheering for some
of the citizens with whom they were acqu dii,t
ed, to the great delight of the people.
Thursday a quite violent
hail -storm was experienced on the other side of
the river. In Allegheny, the hail stones were
so large, and fell with so much force that seve
ral window panes were broker. Its effects were
also felt in this city, but so slightly, that few
were aware of its presence.
B. L. IL Dabbs.—We are called upon to

PARHAM:TVS Ticucs—Whatever May
be the issue of the assault upon Mobile,
now in progress, Farragut's daring and
skill cannot but commend themselves as
the most dashing and successful of any
naval movement, so far, during the war.
A large fleet lay for months at the
mouth of the Mississippi, thrown into
consternation every few days by an as
sault from Hollis' ram and rebel vessels
of inferior grade, but no sooner did Far
ragut take command, then he pushed the
fleet up the river in face of the fire of
the rebel forts and iron -clads, passed the
forts, sunk and burnt the iron -clads, and
took New Orleans. When Vicsburg
was besieged, he ran up the river past
the batteiies to the aid of Grant, and
when it was found that he could be of no
further assistance•, lie ran down again,
with all the rebel forth playing vigorous
ly upon his vessels, and knocked a for
midable rebel rhm nearly to pieces as he
steamed down. This running past the
formidable obstructions at the mouth of
Mobile Bay is a remarkable instance of
daring and success. It is protected by
no less than four forts—Morgan, Gaines,
Powell, and a sand battery on Dauphine
Island, which together are armed with
37 guns. These he apppears to have
passed with the loss of one monitor, hut
be has made terrible havoc with the reb
el fleet of iron and cotton clads, nearly
all of which were superior in force to
his own iron clad monitors. The Ten
nessee carried 7 guns. The issue is yet
doubtful, for the obstacle: , in the harbor
are great, but the example so often set
by Farragut, of running past the main
deference of rebel harbors ought not to
he lost on other fleet commanders. At
New Orleans he did not stop to engaLre
the forts, for he Luew ilut the posses
;ion of New orlearis compelled their
surrender. At Mobile he has tried the
same tactics. Would not this b• the
proper way to assault (la Icston ' Far

Curtrors STORY !!!, A PooTo..n.‘ en
When the war broke out a young man
belonging to Boston enlisted and carried
to the field with him a photograph of
his betrothed. Ile was taken pris,mer
and confined fora long period in the
Libby prison, at Richmond. While
there one of the rebel officers on duty,
happening to have seen the photograph,
appropriated it and refused to return it
to the owner. The efficer scemed in
fatuated with the likeness of the North
ern beauty; and, in order to have oppor
tunity to talk about her, made hirris , dl
the instrument of many kindnesses to
the captive. At last the young soldier ;
was e' changed and in elite time joint d

was at the front, ind seeing a rebel nth
cer very prominently engaged in direct

special from Washington of the l lth,
says: Dispatches from Farragut surfer
delay from the fact that it was necessary
to bring the dispatch on steamer from
New Orleans, Now, however, they are
hourly looked for.
Richmond papers of yesterday say
that their loss in guns at Fort (}sines.
was fifty, and they' lost six hundred
prisoners. There was also an immense
amount of ste. , res of all sorts.
Sherman's dispatches state that all the
Georgia militia ale moving in his front
under Hood. It is understood that
Beauregard has been sent to take corn
made of the defenses of Mobile. That
Engineer has certainly shown a high
order of talent in the kind of work with
which lie will there be charged, as his
defence of` Charleston and Petersburg
attests. The present position of Sher
man's army however, tmdtes the mere
pnasession of the city of Mobile a matter
].] minor importance, ]tmi no great sol
icitude is felt in official quarters in rt
gard Inn its capture.
At last advises the situation before
Petersburg remained uncharged. The
intere,t, so fat as active military Opera.
lions go now, centers in the force under
Sheridan, whose brilliant inauguration
of the campaign is most encout:ming.

The American Institute, New York,
REPORTS “that the WIEEELER
WILSON makes the • .`1,0(7
STITCH," and ranks highest on ac
count of the elasticity, permanence,
beauty and general desirableness of
the stitching when done, and the
wide range of its application.-
THE "LOCK STITCH'
Is universally acknowledged as the
very best for all kinds of sewin g. It
rcquires only oue-half the amount of
'Thread or Silk that is consumed by
the "Chain Stitch" Machines, thus
Making a paving of 50 cents to f t. 50
PER DAY. The WHEELER tr
WILSON is the,only machine using
the GLASS IMPROVEINIENTS.
