TUESDAY MOBNIN
Work on F«iuth Street Hoad.—Work
has Anally commenced on the Pennsylvania!! v

the course of time. The ce lart of the hojups ip

fopnd to be in after the Bn t fall or relit .The
huraewnd cart have not ai yet been removed,
bUt'tht*,-we believe, la not) aa much the effect
of any negligence as of the difficultiea to be sur
mounted in the removal, before the waterand
debris cji the stable be tikea out. Onset
urdaytbe progress of the work was very prom
ising, but owing to the heilvy fall of rain on
Saturday night, the sewer Caved in, and It is
now in as had a condition la ever. In conse
quence of the incapacity if the brick arch,
which, we understand, is oifly eight inches in
thickness, to bear the weight of the earth and
stones which have been laid (jver it, the earth is
perpetually'caving In, bo thkt, in our opinion,
the arch-will have to be entirely renewed ip pr
dcr to place it ln a reliable condition for the ftp.
ture. ‘"We are informed that) the gaa pipes are
also being put out of order in consequence of
the defective state of the sewerage, ao that the
Gaa Company will also be put to considerable
expenditure on account of a Jitfle negligence on
the part of some persons injnot removing the
obstructions,-Which choked up the passage of
the sewers from the first.: Yesterday, Dir.
Thomson, engineer or the gas works, made an
Investigation into the state of the pipes in that
quarter of the city. It, was discovered that part
of the'maih pip? on Fourth street-toad' had
been entirely exposed, in Consequence of the
street falling in, and that the water had caused
« to bp in constant danger of setting. Qn the
other' hand, it waa found thsjt in a neighboring
c ?U*r tk? P»ue had commenced to leak, and .it
became 1 necessary to place a! well underneath,
which Ist o-be pumped out every evening, in or
der to give free passage to : the gaa. On the
whole, the property in the vicinity la in a into,
erablcvonditioa, and is not worth much at pres
ent, whatever it was valued at previous to the
accidents. However, it may be Improved If the
owner thought flt to lay out a! considerable suit
«f money in restoring it to a habitable condl-'
tion. !

wehave heartTexperlenoed men express their
opinion on the subject, and they are begin log to
tear a collapse. Too many wella have been dis
covered, all yielding enormous quantities of oil,
and too many companies have been formed for
the worklng or the Walls, not to have a great
decline in piice: If this happen, and it is al
most certain that it will, the oil trade will not
be so profitable aa heretofore,-and a great many
might lose a considerable sum Of money by the
collapse. By this we do not wish to Insinuate
that the trade will not be canted on so eaten.

Something New.—-The scarcity of manual
labor, prevalent throughout the entire country
has heceesltated the citlsena to sharpen their
wltß add find some means through which to re
place the loss of those who have dedicated them
selves to the military service during the war.
For this purpose Inventions unsurpassed for in
genulty and iheohanloal skill have come in
vogue, pud are now to be seen to whatever side
you turn your eyes, A comparatively new
branch of industry is mskihg horse shoes by ma
chinery. The shoes turned out are as much su
perlorto the old hand male shoes as modern cot
ton fabric is to. the product of the hand loom.
And so mnoh.hasthclntroductionofmachinery
cheapened the prMeu, tkai machine-made »hoea
oan be.sold by too ton at about the same price as
the raw material. Like every other means of
reducing toe necessity fog handwork and cheap
enlng toe products of labor, the machine-made
horse shoe has’met with much opposition ; but,
like all ijeally meritorious productions, it will
make Its way to general use In spite of it.
Th«, 83d Petaoeylv.nta Volunteers-
The remnant of this gallant regiment which has
signalised Itself on so many well fought field*
is now returning home after three years of un
ceasing hardships and fatigues. They were en
gaged ln-every battle that took place on the Po
tomac, and gave immortal proof ofth-lr valor
every time they were sent to the field. Havin'-
received to their toll regiment over eleven hun
dred recruits, they arc returning with one hun
drenand th’rcSof their-Original numbers, and
seven officers. They lost one Brigadier Gen
eral, the Immortal Strong Vincent, at Gettys
burg i .Colonel McLean, killed at Games’ Hill •
also, Major Nsghel; Colonel Woodward lost
left leg at Wilderness ; two Captains, Stowe
and Stell; company 4 lost thirty-eight lolled
as a specimen. Captain Brown Is now a briga
dier general, recently confined at Charleston
and Wounded seven times.
Military Change.—Lieutenant Veech of
too regular army has been appointed to the com
mand of Camp Reynolds. The reason why Col
onel Morris wss removed has not been sseer
tataed.but .t is stated that the recent com
plaints or the soldiers In regard to too manage
mentof too affaire in camp had something to do
with tjieputter. Colonel Morris was highly
esteemed By Ms subordinate officers, ind we
understand that before leaving he received a
note signed by several of them exprcsßulug their
obligations to him for his unllorm courtesy and j
gentlemanly corduct.
Coremerto laquest.-Aliierman Donaldson,
in the absence of Coroner McClung, held an in
quest yestenlay morning on the body of Thomas
Jenkins,-, who filed yesterday evening at the
"Bail’s Head” tavern, pn Second street. De
ceased was about forty years of age, and, from
papers found upon him, was supposed, to have
formartyrealded to the nlghborhood of Sandy
Creek, Westmoreland county. The jury ren
dered a verdict of death from flat Ural causes.
Destroyed by Wire.-Tha large and exten
sive Woollen ,Faotory of Mr. JFuUeiton, located
to Freeport, Armstrong county, was totally des
troyed by Brew few filghts etnee.' Its loss will
bo severely felt, as It wasone of the moatjexteo
eive lathe weatern part of toe State, and waa
doing* large amount of business. The damage
sustained Waaid to amount to toe sum of twenty
five thousand dollars. The fire is attributed to
&a Incendiary.
Sword Presentation. A Bplendid and
costly sword will be presented to-day to Capt.
R. A. Long, of 00. O, Col Barnes’ regiment,
at threeo'clock, as a token of the affection and
esteem In which the Captain is held by toe
members o£ the company.

As toe notes draw Interest from August lath,

one per cent. |
Special Advantages of this Loan.
It IB A National Satihob Bank, offering
the higher rate of Interest than any other, ana
the best security. Any savings bank which pays
its depositors in U S. Notej, considers that It Is
paying In the best circulating medium of the
country, and It cannot pay In anything better,
for its own assets are either In government se
curities or in notes or bonds payable in govern
ment paper.
Convertible into a Six per cent. 5"-20
Gold Bond,
In addition to the very liberal Interest on fte
notes for three years, this privilege of conver
sion Is now worth about three per cent. per( an
num, for the enrrent rate for 6-00 Bonds Is not

OIPIAL TAXATION.

all bonda and Treasury notes from looal ta.a

It is believed that no securities offhr so great
inducements to lenders as those Issued by toe
government, in all other forms of Indebted

stocs companies, or scperate companies, only, Is
pledged for payment, while the whole property

Late Foreign Intelligence;
English Account of the Rebel Ram
THE DANISH QUESTION,
New Yoke, Sept. 12—The steamship
America,from Southampton, has arrived.
The Times says : If the account ofthe
ram Tennessee’s doings is true, it is one
of the most gallant actions of the Amer
ican war, .The account of thedosses on

traordinary.
The Confederate loan is quoted at 78
a 79.
Londo7i , Sept. 30.—Consols heavy st
88£a88$.
The Conference.sitting is adjourned,
probably because the Danish plenipo
tentiaries are awaiting the necessary
documents. Up to the picsent timethe
Conference has been occupied solely
with territorial questions.
The difficulties between Turkey and
Montenegro have been settled.
r The arrpsts continue in Trcnt„and the
I entrc police have discovered arms,
munitions, &c.
London, Sep/ 30—The English funds
opened quiet, but at the close there was
a fall of i per cent. The main cause
consisted in a conjecture that Mr, Glad
stone will prevent’!he March Exchequer
bills from being paid in for the revenue
next month, either to raise their rate of
interest from three to fonr per cent, or
to fund a portion of ihem, or make an
exchange from stock or exchequer hills
on behalf of the savings banks.
