SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 51; 1854 Niiiimiteil.- I Two good compositors at this office to whoni good waged will be given_ How to. Relieve the Soldiegbi.—Now that ' the trust season is upon us, and that we are sup plied with abundance of fruit of every sort, our charitable citizens could not devote their time and means to a better purpose than by forward inett* the siikzind wounded soldiers as large an amount' as they can afford "of fruit both fresh and preserved. At present all housekeepers have a splendid opportunity of showing their regard for their sick brethren In the army, and if they will avail themselves of it they will be rewarded by many a kind blessing and hearty thanks. These things forwarded to the agents of the Sanitary and Christian Commisslcms can operate am immense amount of good in restoring the health and shattered constitution of the wounded soldier, and without the aid of these little delicacies it is nexttO impossible for a sick man to return to health and strength when de prived of all other domestic comforts. Black berries, which are now in such abundance, and so cheap that any man can afford to buy them, when prepared well are received by the sick sol dier as a precloui medicine. A cordial made of this healing fruit is deemed to possess "a qual. ity not found in any other fruit, or leaf, or root or mineral." A lady connected with the Sani tary Commission at. Washington gives the fol lowing recipe for ill preparation: To two quarts of blackberry vice put one and a half nound of whitesugar, half ounce cinnamOn, half ounce nutmeg, quarter ounce cloves, one ounce all spice; let it boil a few minutes, and when cool add one pint of brandy. Besides this which is so cheap, the soldiers require acids. A large amount of pickles are daily consumed in the ar my, and these are what the soldier requires. If every one would but forward a little the soldiers would receive a great deal without exiense to individuals. The 011 Trade.—This trade which contrib. utes so much to the wealth of our city and sur roundings, to receiving a new stimulus in the many discoveries which have been recently made of rich wells, which afford an extraordinary quan tity of oil and that of the most refined quality. Oil is at present commanding higher prices than heretofore, and the amount sent to the market is still on the increase. Men of means and ex perience in trade think that ,his is the most profitable business they can invest their money in, and its substantial character tugethor with the large profits which are derived from it, are sufficient inducement to purchasers and specula tors to invest all their means and money in that lucrative business. An exchange says in rela tion to the Dunkard oil region: We noticed on a.visit to the Trunkard region last week that se veral new wells are being bored. Arrangements are also being made to operate in other places at an early day. The yield of the Wylie well is undiminished, and with the right kind of pump ing and machinery, it might be largely increased. Scarcely a day passes that capitalists from abroad, and successful operators from other tail districts do not visit the 'Drinkard country, and almost invariably speak in high terms of the in dications and appearances. In a few years we predict this region will rival Venango in the ex tent of its oil interests and production. This speaks well for a trade which is established on so firma basis, and whose resources are nearly inexhaustible. Improvements.—A. large number of im provementsare being made in our city this sum mer, among which may be mentioned the Thea tre, which has been put under repair and in no w in a condition to vie with some of the fines thea tres in the East. The house has been embellish ed with all the modern improvements, the stare and orchestra are finished in good style, and the drop -curtains and other scenefy are exquisitely painted. It will add a great deal to the embel lishment of the city. If the outside were re paired and fixed up in a manner proportionably elegant with the inside, we might well be proud of our city theatre. The City Hall has also been materially improved, and the inside has been painted and varnished in style that has render ed it highly engaging to the view. The German Catholic Church is also being fixed up in a mar ner and style highly artistic. It will soon bo one of the prettiest churches in Pittsburgh, and is at present well worth a visit for the many and expensiveimpeovements which it is undergoing. Other buildings are being constructed, or repair ed . whieh are too numerous to mention, but .Whieh.will greatly add to the general aspect of the city. These, together with the new Penn sylvania depot, and the new Railroad bridge which into be erected iu a new and grand style,. plainly show that our citizens have resolved to unite the beautiful With the useful. • 'Advice to Voting:it eera.—lt is the general Impression among those who wish to oiler them selves as either volunteers or substitutes to till the quota of any district, that if they wait a short while longer until the draft approaches, they will receive increased bounties. But this opinion is in a great part wrong, and the men will lose more than they will gain by their dila toriness. Our small local districts have been paying larger sums in bounties than are paid by any of the Eastern cities c and these latter are again reducing their bounties to an amount far amallerthan what they have been wont to offer. The number of men which is being recruited daily far exceed the most sanguine expectations of the districts liable to the draft, and conse quently they are beginning to lose all fear and apprehensions of its arrival. Therefore those who have any idea of volunteering had better do so at once and secure the higher bounty; for certainly its amount will soon be reduced. The cititens have already commenced to manifest such a desire, because they know that they could proeurethe necessary number of volunteers with lesser bounties to avert the draft, which is all they want. If the men do not hurry up they will lose a considerable amount of money by their speenlation. Passed Through.—On Thursday quite a number of Bailors belonging to the Misaissipy i flotilla, passed through here en route to Phila delphia where they will join the crew of the new Irorusides which is now fitting up for active ser vice in Philadelphia. They were all along hear_ ty fellows, and were dressed up in a blue suit, entirely new, which greatly added to their ap pearance. Also a large party of Prussians and Ranoverians on their way to Wisconsin where they proposed to settle down. They were en tirely different from the usual class of emigrants, and they appears(' more like mechanics than far mers. Wisconsin will gain a great deal from the industry ot these men, who will partially replace those ofits citizens who have gone to the war. Almost a Collision.—As the through Ac comodation train prOceeded East on the Penn sylvania railroad on the forenoon of Tuesday est, going up the west side of the Allegheny mountain, it met the Baltimore Express coming west, and though the trains were on different tracks, the roof of the cars came in collision, and the splinters flew in every direction, just as though the eve of the roof had been struck with lightning, and produced a sound like that of a circular saw when ripping a board. The pass engers inside were terribly alarmed for a min ute or two, bplopon looking and finding them selves there, they soon became composed again, and seemed thankful that matters were no worse. We auszot account ' this singular collision, but know It to be a fact. 19th Wtseenairs.—Thin regiment under evntnaid n of Lieut. Col.

Louts; August ID.--Information from Fort Riley, General Blunt's Head quarters sajrs: Three ranches near Lit tle Blue River were burned by the In dians, the alO t lte rtn off and the Inhabi tants killed, and their bones were found among the ashes of the building. The citizens of Washington Republic, Clay county have been armed by Blunt. Four hunters were killed at Salina, ilfty miles west of Fort Riley. Between fifty and sixty dead bodies were seen between Nilesburg and Little Blue. No ranches are standing between Big Sandy and Little Blue. There are no inhabitants between Fort Kearney and Denver. Four trains were captured at Little Blue. All the stock consisting of four hundred and fifty cattle and a large number of mules were driven off. The men belong ing to these trains say the IndiaMs were well mounted and most of them armed with long-range guns. Captain Thomp son, with seventy-five men of the 16th Kansas Cavalry and one howitzer, was pursuing, the Indians who committed the outrages at Little Blue. Dispatches from Lim, dated August 4th, say that the Indians moved towards Republican river with one thousand oxen and a large herd • of horses and mules. General Sherry of the Kansas militia, also joined in the pursuit, moving north of Thompson's command. Eight days have elapsed since I communication has been had with poln is further west than fourteen miles from Little Blue, and within that distance sixteen men, women and children, had been massacred and every d welling burn ed; famlies of settlers were sent to set tlements, and the men turned upon the Indian trail. Blunt sent orders to Forts Lamed, Zernh, Ellsworth and Salina for cammhntls at these points, to scout in the direction taken by the Indians, and keeping ready to join in general pursuit when their trail is found. Blunt is doing everything possible with the small force at his command. News from the Front—The Battle on the North Side of the James.

Reports from the Shenandoah Valley. finnvirtrowx, Md., August ]R.—There are exciting and conflicting reports from the Valley to day. General Averill holds Martinsburg, and at noon to day was drawn up in line of battle onside the town. No rebels in sight and the in dications are that the rebels are not moving that way, but toward the Shenandoah. Refugees from the Valley and Martins burg are now begining to arrive herein large numbers. All have intelligence of the rebel advance. Considerable un easiness is manifested here, but rumors arc so conflicting that it is impossible to obtain the exact state of affairs in the Valley. The Fight at Front Royal NEW YORK, August 19.—The Times has the following special dated Balti more, August 18th: A battle took place at or ne:tr Front Royal on Tuesday the 16th, between a portion of our caVairy and a heavy force of rebels or Long street's command. Portions of Wil son's division and Custar's brigade were engaged. The fight was a severe one for the number operating, and a charge made by Costar, at the head of his bri gade, was a most brilliant one, result ing in the capture of two hundred and fifty-eight prisoners and two stand of colors. The fight is considered an im portant one, as it unfolds some of the enemy's plans, Steamboat Collision CINCINNATI, August 19—Tee steam er "Higland Chief " was run into by the Major Anderson near Vevey, Ind., this morning, and sunk almost amediate ly.

It was to reciiiveid l tihrious ing fire from the fleet aid the land forces in the rear, which sire said to have in vested it wherever" there was a foot of ground to stand upon. The rebels des. troyed all the outbuildings of the Fort; they also burned their only vessel lying under its guns. EVerything about the Fort indicated a determination to con test the battle till the last. The channel to Dog river was unobstructed. The naval and land forces are confi dent of success. At a late hour last night, we beard that Farragut had de manded the unconditional surrender of the Fort. Farragut's demand for its surrender on Tuesday was refused, the commander of the Fort saying that he had six mnnths' provisions and fighting rations, and would resist to the last mo ment. Before this, Granger's force in the rear had cut the communications of the Fort. The ram Tennessee was in the attack. Farragiat was confident of reducing the Fort. The Hartford is badly injured. We bold all the channels to the bay. Another Account_of the Cavalry NEW YORK, August 19.—The Herald has the following special, dated Nash ville the 18th: The rebel Gen. Wheeler moved round on Cleveland after his re pulse at Dalton, and'is trying to get on the railroad leading to Knoxville. It is reported that Steadman engaged him on the 16th, near Graysville, and defeated him. Steadman is reported wounded, and Col. Straight, of the 54th Ind. Vols., killed. Wheeler's attack on Dalton dar ing Sunday and Monday was repulsed with a loss to him of one hundred and fifty men. Col. Sieboid, commanding that post, was reinforced on Monday by the 4th colored troops, charged upon Wheeler, who fell back, and finally re treated. The Union loss *as about thir ty. The railroad track was not injured. Our battery then opened on the rebels, and a spirited engagement ensued, last ing from 9to 11 a. m. Colonel Chris ler, commanding our 'cavalry, was killed. Finding that our position subjected us to heavy loss, our forces were with drawn a short distance to reconnoitre during the night.

Sheridan Pursuing Early NEW YORK, August 19—A 11 - ‘,r/d'a special from Washington dated ISth, says : The news from the Shenandoah Valley to-day is favorable. There is no truth in the report which was in circu lation here and in N. Y. yesterday that Sheridan had fallen back to Winchester, and was fortifying there: On the con trary, he is still pushing Early up the valley, and has compelled him to retreat from point to point in every encounter thus far. The reported reinforcement of Early by Longstreet's and HilPs corpzi must be untrue; as these two corps have been proved to be in Grnnt's front on Junes river. Ulman's Victory in Lousiana.
