The Subsistence Committee.—This gen
erous institution expressly organized to relieve
the wants of the soldiers who happen to pass
through this city, is not only conferring a great
benefit on the soldiers themselves, by their
timely aid, but Is also performing a great deal
of gocd (or the city by extending the fame of
its citizens for chart y and generosity. Truly,
this is the only return a generous nature would
desire to receive, and nothing pleases a magnan
imous heart more than to behold the good effects
which are produced by its generosity, and see
them acknowledged. This the war-worn sol
dier never fails to do, and amidst perils and
dangers, he always remembers with heartfelt
gratitude the names of those who have con
tributed to T relief of his sufferings. All the
soldiers who Imre passed through here have al
ways shown themselves thankful for the recep
tion that wAs tendered them by the citizens of
Pittsburg through the Subsistence Committee;
some of them could not repress the feelings with
which they were moved, and made the nit ring
with cheers and hurrahs f.ir the city and its gen
erous inhabitants. When they return to the
bosoms of their families, and the enjoyment of
peace, they give an account of their reception
in Pittsburgh, and for years yet to come will
they remember the incidents of their short stay
in our city. The following la an extract from
a letter of a member of the 7th Ohio regiment
of hunched day men, which recently passed
through:

near Philadelphia.
Recruiting.—Since the recent call of the
President for live hundred thousand men, re
cruits have never arrived in larger numbers
than during the lest two d tys. There are seve
ral recruiting offices now extended throughout
the city, and they are all attended by numerous
crowds, who wish to enter the service, so that
the recruiting officers hare as much as they can
do, to write dowiti the names and muster them
In. Large numbers have already been enrolled
during that brief period, but still they are com
ing, coming as fast as ever. If it continue at
this rate for any length of lime, not a Ward in
0 , the city will be liable, and we can soon afford to
breathe freely. The citizens should contribute
on their part to promote the volunteer move
ment, and while this enlisting mania prevails,
they should help on the officers in the perform
ance of their duty. It is reported that quite a
numb& of strangers have arrived here recently
with the purpose of recruiting, no doubt in
duced by the larger boun• Ms which we give.
These will help on our quota, and together with
the citizens who are volunteering In large num
bers will render the prospect quite cheering
Orders from the War Department direct that
enrollment lists be closed and forwarded to the
Provost Marshal l;,faeral's Department on the
first of Se‘pLembor, with corrections to that
date, so that proper quotas may be assigned, but
by that time we may confidently hope that ours
will be completed.
Coroner's Investlgation.---lin Sunday, a
Jury was etnPanelled by Coroner McClung, to
investigate into the circumstances attending the
death of young Burry, who was run over by a
train on that day. Owing to the absence of
important witnesses, the jury continued until
9 o'clock, yesterday forenoon. The deceased
previous to his death, stated that he had been
pushed oft the car, by some person to him un
known, and yesterday two boys being put under
examination confirmed the above statement.
They stated that they were with Barry on Sun
day, and as the train was leaving the depot, got
upon a car. Barry likewise endeavored to get
upon the steps, when be was kicked by a young
man in the breast, and thrown on the track. Af
ter one wheel had run over him, he managed to
extricate himself, and called loudly to his com
panions for a.skt,,,,ce. They were unable to
descend from the car, until the train arrived
at the outer station, w hen one of them inform
ed an attachee of the railroad of the accident;
but the youug man could not be found. The
Coroner returned a verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
Theatre.—The theatre this season is a com
plete success, and the new actors and actresses
surpass any that have visited our city for some
time. Noue of the actors of former seasons
have been accepted, except those whose popu
larity has been so well established, that their
absence would ha regretted by the public. The
danseuses surpass in skill, agility and easy
grace all those whom we have heretofore wit
nessed, and the consequence is, that the house is
crowded to overflowing every night. All those
who wish to pass a pleasant evening, had better
repair to this fashionable place of aniusemetit
Man Stabbed.—Yesterday morning, a little
after twelve o'clock, an altercation took place
on Miltenberger alley, in a disreputable house
kept by a woman named Ellen Magraw, be
tween two men named Neill Burns and John
Newell. The former is the same who managed
to make his escape last Sunday from the Lenard
house, and the latter was barkeeper at London's
Sportman's Hall.. It Is ;tpt .known how the
difficulty originated, but : the .parties quarreled
while in the house, when Newell drew a large
knife and stabbed Burns in the left side, inflict
ing two severe wounds. He also cut him on the
head and nose. Burns was conveyed to his res
idence on Tunnel street, where he lives with his
parents, and at first it was thought he would
not recover. A messenger was immediately
dispatched to Alderman Butler, who, on his ar
rival took the deposition of the young man,
and issued a warrant for the apprehension of
Newell. The latter was arrested yesterday
morning, and is now in the watob-house await
ing a hearing. He did not make any effort to
escape the police, and alleges that he used his
knife in self-defense, Burns, who is a young
man of about twenty years of age, is represent
ed as being a very disorderly characte r r, and
was arrested when he made his escape - Idr a
breach of the peace. He is now improvint and
his physician entertains hope of his recovery.
Fruit.—Though the fruit crop this year did
not yield as much as was expected, we have no
reason to complain of the numbzr and qualit y
of either the watermelons or peaches. They
are generally of the finest description, and
sufficiently plenty to he cheap. But unfortu
nately it Is not so, an 1 it takes A large slice out
of a day's wages. If a man would wish to in
dulge in a water-melon of any size. They are
nearly all imported from Philadelphia and New
Jersey, and consequently demand a very high
price, although they are arriving by thousands
at a time. Peaches are also rather high in
price, so that we would be twinned to think
that the consumption of this delicious fruit is
not as general as formerly, nor by any means
so large. Other fruit for which the public man
ifest a taste, are likewise to be found in the
market, but the general consumption of these
has also received a check from the same source,
the people can't afford to buy them.
The Chicago Convention.—The conven
tion which is to be held in Chicago for the pur
pose of nominating Democratic c milliliters for
the Presidency amt Vice-Presidency, is already
attracting a numerous crowd of people who wish
toatteml the proceedings. Quite a numb2r of
our citizens left to-day, and no doubt others will
continue leaving until the end of the week, in
order to be present at the grand mass meeting
which is to be held previous to the opening of
the Convention. We understand that the Rail
road companies have agreed to convey to Chica
go all those who wish to attend for half fare gs
mg, without any charge for returning. This will
be a great incentive for persons from all guar t
ors to be present, and will no doubt answer the
purpose of attracting a large concourse of peo
ple.
Meeting lu Sharpsburg,—ln accordance
with the customary usage, a meeting of the De
mocracy of Siarp3burg was held on Saturday
last. It was attended by a large concourse of
people, and much spirit was manifested in fa
vor of the preservation of the I 'llion, and a ces
nation of hostilities. Jacob Kiel, Esti , was
elected President, J. Davis, Vice President, and
C A. W. Redlich, Secretary. A series of
resolutions were passed, endorsing (leorge It.
McClellan for President, and highly commen.:-

fidelity to the Constitution and the cause of his
country
The meeting then adjourned to meet Fi;rlln nn

of the enrolled citizens of the Sixth Ward was
held last evening at the school-house for the

NEw YORK, August 23.—The World
has the following, dated Headquarters
Army of the Potomac, Friday, August
19th:' A brilliant flank movement was
made by the Fifth Corps yesterday
morning, and was a complete success.
The enemy's forces had been nearly all
withdrawn from this direction to send
across the James river to meet the at
tack of the Second and Tenth Corps,and
only a strong picket line was guarding
the road. These retreated so rapidly
that our men thought they would meet
with no opposition, and they went to
work very deliberately to destroy the
track; but when they had about a mile
of it torn up, a heavy force advanced in
line of battle, with a supporting column
on either side. They charged gallantly,
but were met by veterans of the second
division, under Gen. Ayres, and, after
an engagement of half an hour, fell
back in confusion.
After a short time they formed a line

Battle on the Weldon Railroad
The Attack on the Fifth Corps
Full Particulars of the Affair
nEADg' n 8 ARMY OF POTOMAC, Aug. 21.
This morning the enemy made a vig
orous attack on the sth corps, on the
left of the Weldon Railroad, at the
same place where they were partially
successful on Friday, but to.day they
met with a different reception. Cur
line was formed about the same time as
it was on that day, the Ist division
bearing on the extreme left, connecting
with cavalry which covered the railroad
towards Ream's station, 2nd division
was next, Cutler's 4th was across the
railroad, and the 3d division on the
right, joining with th 2 9th corps, which
connected the right with the left, near
Jerus ;tem plank read. During Satur
day our men had strengthened the
breastwork which they had temporarily
erected, besides throwing up others.
Early this morning very heavy canno
nading was opened oy the enemy front
works further down towards Peters
burg, and our guns replied very hriskly - , -
neither party however doing particular
damage. About 7a. in., a force of the
enemy was seen moving as if to make
an attack on the 9th corps, but a few
well directed shells sent them out of
sight. Shortly after a column of rebels
emerged from the woods on the left of
the railroad, and forming in line charg
ed on what they thought was our left
Mink, but which proved to be the left of
Gen. Ayer's front. The rebels ad
vanced in tine style and with the ut
most confidence, evidently thinking the'
work before them easy; but what was
their surprise on discovering a second
line behind, and extending to the left ni
the Ist, from which a row .of bayonets'
gll , tened, with a battery un the left, tied
one On the right, pouting a fire into
their ranks, every discharge causing
I urge vacancies in their line. As soon
as they disc. , verrd the critical position
in which they were placed, tlic entire
command In:lde signs to indicate their
willingness to surrender, and the Gra , r
to cease tiring was pass.tl along the
breastworks, but as soon as they tlise,y
erect this, it large portion of thew broke
and started for the woods, the remain
r coining on and surrenilerinz. ()or
, atteries sent severs' messengers anti
the remaining party, many of whom
The troops who made the charge
consisted of the rebel divisions of Hoke
and Bushrod - Johnson, of Gen. Ilill's
corps, and were principally South Car-
Winians and Mississippians. Amon!: the
prisoners are 1 Colonel, 3 Lt. Colonels,
and 37 Captains and Liutenants. Hit t
loss in killed and wounded is about
while neatly 100 were taken prisoners
on skirmish line. The rebel loss is be- •
lieved to be at least 500 or 600 killed and NIC/01:73FUT313 HT-I=l-]E/MT
wounded. The number of rebel priso
ners taken is about 375, besides 25 NEW STYLES
wounded, who are in hospitals. Gen. t=l
Hagood commanded the assaulting col
unin and shot Capt. Daily of Gen. Cut- I c.)
ler's staff. Gen. Hagood was seen to
full from his horse, and is believed to
be killed. His body lies between the
lines, and is covered by sharpshooters. 131
Prisoners also report him killed.
We took five sets of colors and some 13
say more. The 3d Delaware took two,
and the 76th N. Y., one. Three of the A
colors are entirely new and the others
mhlB
are much dilapidated.
n the fight of Fi iday, our loss in
prisoners is believed to be larger than
heretofore reported. The 00th Pa. was
more than half taken, as was the case in
fact with all the regiments in the bri
gade. The 104th N. V. lost (very offi
cer on the field, and can muster but
comparatively few men for duty. lied
these troops held their position, or
changed their front as some did, they
could nearly all have saved themselves
and given the enemy a thrashing, but,
being told they were flanked, they start
ed fur toe rear and fell into the hands of
the rebels. Col. Wheelock, with 2d
brigade of 3d division, changed his
front towards rear and formed a line of
battle with skirmishes thrown out, and
advanced to find the enemy, and reach.
ed our second line, without losing a man
of those who remained, while all who
left were captured. This brigade brought
in with them over 60 prisoners and a
stand of colors, besides taking many of
our own men who were being taken
away.
WASHrNGTON, Aug. 23.—Gen. W'ar
ren's corps achieved a grand success on
Sunday. The rebels attacked under or
ders from Gen. Lee that we must be
driven from the Weldon Railroad at
whatever sacrifice. The rebels were al
lowed to pass through a gap left in our
lines, and suffered severely, while their
purpose was entirely defeated. Gen.
Hill is reported mortally wounded, and
Heath and Lee, son of R. E. Lee, killed.
The Colonel of the 16th Miss. is a pris
oner and wounded. Our loss was 100.
