LOCAL IiTELLIGENCE ~1 11 ~y I~~`a~ Ci];;~11 ` ~t~~\lCtUf . Y! IDxII:~~ Damages on the Fourth Street Road. The heavy rain and thunder storm which visit ed our city on Sunday night, and raged with unusual violence towards ten o'clock, created a great many damages on the Fourth street road, in the vicinity of High street. While the re maining part of the citizens were snug in their beds, these poor people were suffering from the rain and water which flowed into their houses, and which kept them under continual appre hension, for their lives. The sewers in that neighborhood have been for a long time in a very bad condition, but were recently rendered unsafe and dangerous by one of them caving in, wallowing up a horse and car, entirely choking up the pass ige, so that the water had no appa rent outlet. This evil could have been reme- died some time ago, but no measures were taken either by the proprietor of the premises, or the city authorities to put the sewer in a working condition, and the consequence was, that the lives of some of the citizens were endangered through this unpardonable negligence. The sewer having been choked up, the immense vol ume of water, which tlowed into it, had to find an outlet somewtwre, and it burst into the cel lars of some of the houses with such violence that a chimney was undermined and fell in with a frightful crash, tearing down all before it as far as the cellar. Here, also, the t 'center wall was torn down, leaving the light frame building to the mercy of the first gush of wind that blew. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the proprie tor, Mr. Schutte, was forced to take his family almost naked into the street, under the falling rain, for fear that the whole house might fall in, and bury them up in the ruins. On the op posite corner, the water broke forth front the mouth of the sewer, and flowed Into the cellar in so large a quantity, that the first floor was soon overflown, the porch fell in, the street was undermined, and saved in as far as the rail road track, leaving the inmates utterly helpless in tnelr houses with a dike between them and the street of over six feet. The slightest gush of wind would have upset these light frame buildings, and drowned the unJuunate in mates. All the houses in that vicinity are sur rounded with water, to a depth of over four feet, and early in the morning it was far deeper. The old canal is full of water, but fortunately it has found an outlet, and it goes out as fast as it comes in. The damages will not amount to a very large sum, but the poor people around there will be forced to find lodgings elsewhere, especially if the rain continues. The street is utterly unsafe for travel, and even if it were not so, the quantity of mud and mire would deter anybody from walking there. Some say that the. proprietor, Mr. Alexander, can claim no damages, as it was his duty at least to have the horse unburied and conveyed elsewhere. if this were done in time, probably the sewer might have taken off part of the water. Hut - --' • ' certainly, the sewerage in that neighborhood was always in a very defective condition, and the authorities should have seen to it. if some means are not found to deplete the cellars and the yards, the neighborhood will be rendered unhealthy, and the refuse of the sewers, togeth er with other nuisances in the yards of the houses, will pollute the atmosphere in such a manner that the vicinity will be nearly unin habitable. The Draft Sense' ion.—tm Monday, being a wet day, a great many abstained from work, and as usual, assembled around the corners, or under some sheds to discuss the general topics of the day. But the coming draft absorbed all oth er, teruiations, and although there were several other subjects they could dilate upon, neverthe_ lees this commanded their whole attention, and they thought everything else of minor impor tance. The fact is that the near approach of the draft is beginning to be felt, and its vicinity is rather too hot to be pleasing. We understood several to say that they were about to shoulder he musket and start for the front, which is now apparently the most expedient measure, although they "could not see it," from the beginning. Quite a number. of recruiting offices have been recently opened in this city, and enlistments was going on with varied degrees of success. But we are under the impression that they will soon be patronized more generally by the public, which has finally perceived the good of making a virtue of necessity, and prefers going with the bounty, when the 'rub' is to go with or without it. A great effort is likewise being made to avoid the draft by obtaining substitutes, espe cially on the part of those who have money enough to secure one. They are becoming rath er dear of late, and no doubt will be more so ac cording as the fifth of September approaches, in fact their price at that time will be so high that no man of ordinary means will be able to reach one. The people 'see' this, and "how are you draftl" greets the ear from all quarters. How ever they have resolved to bi polite and intend to save the draft the trouble of coming out so fir West, by. volunteering. Fall of Rock—House Damaged .—Yes terday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, several tons of rock slipped from a vacant lot belong ing to the Watson estate, on Second street, above Black's rolling mill, and crushed in a portion of the wall of a brick building on the adjoining lot, owned by Henry Tatnell, and oc cupied by Reese Jones. Two or three cart loads of rock went through the wall, and a son of Kr. Jones, who had recently returned from the army, made a narrow escape from being crumbed under the falling mass. There were other members of the family in the room, but they all escaped uninjured. The slide was occasioned by the heavy rains, and there is danger that other portions of the pre cipice may give.way. The rock here stands al most perpendicular, and is from twenty-five to thirty feet nigh—Mr. Tatnell's property being built within ten feet of the rock. Died.—We noticed in yesterday's edition, that a boy named Merry, was run over on the Pennsylva'iis Railroad. The following are the circumstances: The train was backing out of the station, when the boy jumped on, and riding a short distance he fell from the plaiforp, and was run over, the *heel of the oar passing ove9 his left leg, nearly severing it from his body. He was also injured about the body by being dragged along the ground. The train was stopped as speedily as possible, and theboy taken from beneath the car. He was carried to the residence of his parents, on Webster street, and Drs.lll'Cook and Hamilton called in to dress his wounds. His injuries were found to be very serious, and as the boy was so much prostrated the physicians did not think it proper to ampu tate the limb. The poor fellow sank rapidly, and during the night expired. Deceased was abetut eleven years of age, and was an indus trious, active youth. Dangerously Injur ed.—A roan named Haighee Was run Over near the Blairsville inter section on the Pennsylvania Railroad on Satur day; and was dangerously if not fatally injured It appears that he was walking on the track with his attention directed to an approaching train, When another came up from an opposite direr -lion, and struck, him injuring him in a fearful manner. The accident occurred about a Mile and a half east of Devoy station, and the man was taken to his home in Blairsville where at last accounts he was still alive. Accidents of this kind have often occurred of late, but still some people will not take warning and will per sist on walking on the track at the rick of their liver. Struck by ilghtning.—During the storm whiei;yrevalled on Sunday night, the house of Ttionlas Chester, was struck by lightning andrpartly injured.

This firm was engaged exclusively in the mar ufacture of black bottles- demijohns, etc., and they lose about one thousand dollars worth of bottles, which were la pie ovens at the time. Eleven other ovens, however, were not burned. The loss will not be very heavy, and is covered by Insurance. The firm has been in operation but a short time, having recently purchased the works from Alex. Arbogast. ost. Railroad Accident—On Sunday, the noon express train did not arrive In this city until 10 o'clock at night. This was caused by a collision near Manyunk station, about seventy miles east of Altoona. The track was completely obstructed by the wreck of a freight train, and it took the men several hours to remove the debits, so that the express train was detained from six o'clock in the morning, until three in the afternoon, at that point. It has not been reported that anybody was injured: Warthelbak & Baer.—We are indebted to the above gentlemen for the new, and truly patriotic song of For Freedom he fell,' by F:. L.

Grant is placed entirely on the defensive by the withdrawal of those troops sent to Gen. Sheridan. PETERSBURG. August 17. —Prisoners brought in to day concur in the state ment that Bbrnside and Warren's corps are still in our front, while Hancock's 2d corps, and perhaps other infantry, are now operating on the north side of the James River. Advices received at head quarters lure confirm the defeat of the enemy in the fight of yesterday, near White's Tavern, on the north side of the James River. Our loss was not very large. Among our losses were Gens. Girard arid Chambliss killed. The fight is supposed to have been renewed to some extent to day, firing being heard in that direction. Official advices from the Valley De partment have been received at these headquarters up to yesterday. Up to that time no general engagement had taken place. In front of this place (Pe— tersburg) nothing of interest is transpir ing. Rain has fallen every day this week. Atlanta dispatches to the Richmond papers, dated the 17th, state that the Federal cavalry have retired from Au burn. The Federals arc fortifying the north side of the Chattahoochie, near Sweetwater. It is believed that the West Atlanta road is cut at Ackworth, by rebel cavalry. The Richmond Whig contains an order from the rebel Provost Marshal General, virtually recognizing negroes as prison ers of war, its remarks showing great dissatisfaction. The Richmond and Danville Railroad is announced to be again in running or der. HEADQ'RS ARMY OF POTOMAC, Aug. 21.. Our losses at the Weldon Railroad, Fri day p. m. were greater than heretofore reported. The number of prisoners ta ken by the rebels is now put down at 1500. It seems that our troops were surprised, many of them being in shel ter tents at the time trying to escape heavy rain that had been falling for sev eral hours previous. The rebels appear ed about noon on the right of the road, in front of the 3d division of sth corps, but this was evidently a feint for the purpose of feeling our lines. About 3 p. tn. they charged in heavy force be tween the sth and oth corps, and suc ceeded in tearing the flank of the for mer, capturing a large number of priso ners. This part of our line was forced back some distance, when the ninth corps, which had been relieved the night previous by part of the second corps, come on to the field and opened fire, checking the advance of the rebels and taking a few prisoners. A heavy col umn of rebels at the same time charged on the left of our line west of the rail road, held by 2d division, Gen. Ayers, which they broke, and here they also took 500 or GOO prisoners of a regular brigade, which was commanded by Gen. Hayes, who is believed to be a prisoner, as he cannot he found. Our whole line was thus forced back with heavy loss in killed and wounded.

Kann facturers and speculators are still Miying,tlCough the former more than the latter. Km sey•and all coarse descriptions of wool have been purchased very largely. Fleece wool that could liatie - been purchased last Friday at *l@i to, cannot to-day be had for less than ill 10431 h 0 (and very few de nimble parcels at the inside rate) and next week It will be more. The tendencp of all descriptions domestic and foreign is decidedly upwards,• and manufacturers have at last found it out, judging as we do by the rapidity which they have been lying in supplies. It is high time. To be fore warned is to be forearmed. It is a little late, however, to pick up cheap parcels, bid 'before having to pay much more, thele has been a "rush made," and the result is that over half a mil lion pounds of domestic and upwards of oneritil lion pounds of foreign have changed hands. Steam is on and in earnest. The week past has probably been the most active one in ten. Brok. ere rept:lit a busier time than for a number of weeks. The only drawback to a very animated business in wool le the extreme price prices de mantled by holders. The fact that wool Is going to be higher has seemed to come home to the minds of manufacturers more clearly Ulla week than ever before, but lie who buys wool during the next uinty days will have to ~.ay for it. We have no new ad vices to offer. We still urge buying, and consider the staple cheap. /folders generally are not pressing their wool on buyers. Importers of foreign arc not at all anxious to sell, feeling continent that they will be able to get their own figures by waiting. We think this good sense on their part. RIVER NATTERS.
