Fight od Second Street street was yesterday the scene of one,of the most bru tal fights that ever took pfaUje-ih our peaceable city. The fljht came off about noon, and lasted, despite the endeavors of the.citizent, who made .the grease! endeavors to separate Ihe parties engaged, nearly three quarters'of *n hour We hare not been, able to ascertain the origin of the fight, owing to the fact that the principals made their escape before the officers were informed of what was going on, and tpe statements of those who were present are so contradictory that it is impossible to ascertain the exact circumstances of the case It seems, however, that on Sunday last a man named John Flood, who lrao-omployee at ibe navy yard and boarded on .High into a difficulty with some men who were detenulaed to fight him. Yesterday the same parties met again, but Flood was this time in company, with a friend of his named Dennis Ryan. It appedra that the latter were deslrouß to retired to Joe McKee's tavem on Seoond street. They were followed by the other men, three lu number, who entered the tavern and attempted to raise a disturbance,'when they were Immedi ately turned out by Mr. McKee. Ryan-and Flood then went oat Into the street, when'the latter was attacked by one of the gang., The two men fought with the most brutal ferocity for some time, and the efforts of the Ottilias who soon gathered on the spot proved useless in sep arating them. Ryan, who he wished to see fair play, would allow no one to go near them, and in this manner the fight continued tor a long while. Flood gave his adversary some hard blows and knocked him down several times, and the consequence was that the latter presented a horrible appearance. He received a severe cut over the right eye And his features were besmeared * with blood and hardly recog nizable* Notwithstanding this the latter would not give io, bat at every opportunity returned Flood's blows with interest At last the exhibi tion becamiao disgusting that several citizens, notwithstanding the threats of Byan, suezeeded ' iu separating the combatants As soooastMs was cone Ryan, who was engaged in maintain ing what he sailed fair play, attacked the man who had already been so badly used up by Flood, and who, we believe, halls Ire in Cincinnati. While this second fight was going on the vie. tor in the preceding tight left the ground. After as exchange of blows on the part of these two combatants some citizens who had become*exas perated at the conduct of Ryan, went boldly up and separated them and conducted Ryan to the watch-house. The other was allowed peaceably to leave the scene. Ryan was highly indignant at his beln^arrested, and maintains that he was the only innocent man 1q the party. Soldiers’ Orphans.—Schools for the educa tion and maintenance of the children of those brave men who have fallen intbei' country's eervice have already been selected in this State, and it is hoped that those poor orphans who in a special rnanyer are committed to our care avail themselves of the opportunity to have themselves instructed in these schools. It is ot as much Interest to the citizens in general that they be well cared for and receive a good educa rioa at It is to the children themselves. With out this it Ib not at all improbable that a great many of these children at least may grow upig- norant and worthless citizens, while, on the 'Mother Land, if properly instructed they may be* come-worthy citizens in themselves, and here* nfter.be an honor to the community. Jt h the duty otschool directors to see that application for admission into some one of these schools is immediately made lor’ every needy orphan in their respective districts. By promptly per forming this pleasing duty they will confer a lasting favor -upon the surviving parent or friend of these children—generally too timid to make application—and upon the country. s Gne Of our principal duties in relation to the soldiers’ orphans is to convince them tint they are not to be treated as outcasts or mere pau per orphans, but that their residence there shall be a mart of distinction to which they may re' Xer with pride in after life. The duty devolves upon us to cars for the orphans of the soldiers who died fighting the battles of their country, and of the children of those soldiers who have bsgn so maimed that they are not in a position to hare them educated in a proper manner. No American mother would brook the idea of hav ing ; her fatherless children confined in a-fr&r house, mueh less, the mothers of those who were deprived of their fathers’ support wbedftbeir series were required In the field. If we sue* oeed in inculcating this opinion Into the minds oi the widowed' mother b it wilt be successful, oth erwise it cannot and will not be so. Hon. Xbos. H. Burrowes was attending yesterday at Lafay ette Hall for the purpose of meeting the moth ers br the nearest relations and friends of these destitute orphans now resident within Alleghe gheny county, and oi .affording information in relation to the education and 'maintenance ot said orphanca by the State. The honorable gen tleman is doing a most charitable work, and no doabt it will be followed with the most desirable effects. _ , . ■ - Hsetingof the Firemen*’ Association* —The Firemens’.

The report showed that the telegraph there was good as f?r as it went, hut that it would be advisable to erect a better one If in this city, especially as It will not he a very difficult matter to raise a larger sum In this city for the erectioa of'so'durable an im provement than the sum subscribed in Cleve land for the same purpose.

Rebel Accounts of Sherman's Movements. Is within Three Miles of Savannah. A DECISIVE BATTLE EXPECTED, Asked. BUL New York, December 13. —Theßich- mond Dispatch of the 10th says . The news from Georgia yesterday was of a somewhat exciting character. The en emy who had been marching the Ogechee river three corps,' one on' the north and two on the south 'side, en deavored to unite their forces, but met with considerable resistance . from the Confederates, and at last accounts had not effected his object, which was also-prevented in-part by the unfavora bleness of the river approaches. On Wednesday, the 17th, demonstra tions of the Federals on the Savannah river became more determined, and they managed to get some of their infantry across the fiats within sight of the river. Here we were well prepared, and our artillerist hjd good work. It was sup posed that they would be compelled to abandon the attempt. From some cause, either lack of am munition or inability to get their can non in position, the Yankees made very little use of artillery, and this added con fidence to our troops. It is reported that the enemy had ef fected a landing on the Coosawachie riv er, below Pocotaligp, but they had not been able to reach the railroad. The Augusta Sentinel of the 7th. says : The advices in reference to Sherman's movements are very meagre. The ad vance was reported to be skirmißbingon Tuesday, December 6th, at the station, two and a half miles from Savannah. They were pressing vigorously towards Savannah, and we have no doubt that a decisive battle between the raiderß and our forces has taken place, the result of which we may be enabled to announce this aternoon. The Richmond Examiner , of the 10th, says: There is no news later than the 7th. At that time the entire force of Sherman was combined on the east side of the Ogechee. On the 6th it advanced no less than eighteen miles, , His then were represented as much fatigued, and their spirits flagging. In numbers, there were twenty thousand muskets, and a most enormous wagon train. Tin country in its rear was swarming tS'iib stragglers and deserters, who are beg ging or pillaging at every house. Citizens who have talked with the officers concur in the declaration that they are universally disgusted with the expedition and the war. The officers spoke very freely ,of Shermau's plans. They said he would not risk an engage ment if he could help it, because he had no ammunition to spare, but would make his way to the sea coast at the nearest practicable point. The enemy lbid 3,00(5 or 4,000 negroes with them; they had no arms, but were merely camp followers, slipping off and making their way home at every stopping, to be replaced by others. No attention is now paid to the gen eral order of Sherman, issued at the be ginning of the march, and the whole country baa been pillaged by mobs of soldiers without officers. Wheeler is operatipg pn the confused mass at every step. The Augusta Uonstituliona'ist of the 6th says: On Monday last a fight took piace at Walker’s Bridge, on Briar Creek, twenty-two miles from Augusta, in which the Federals were worsted. A batch of one hundred and twenty two Yankee prisoners had arrived in Augusta. The Richmond Examiner of the 10th |nst., says: We learn that the force sent down to the Weldon Railroad by General Grant consisted of one entire Gorpe, besides cavalry. Every tpan of them ought to be captured. The Whig says a good many knowing people are greatly exercised as to the utention of the raid If they have no more cavalry than reported, they will of coprst soon get to the end of their jour ney. t)n the other bqnd. we all incline to believe that they are better equipped than reported, and that we will soon hear of the destruction of bridges, &c., in the direction of Weldon —which we are frank to admit, will give us some inconvenience, but wi]l pof reljeve in the least the palpable apd irretrievable failure which Grant has made ip his Mon to Richmond and Petersburg.” —<*«» — Gen. Miles' Late Reconnoiasance- Nothing Later from Glen. Warren. RUMORED VICTORY AT JARRATT S STATION CINCINNATI New York, December Vi.—Herald dispatches from Grant’s armies give ad ditional particulars of the reconnoUsairefe of General Miles’ command on Friday last to Hatcher’s run, on the right of the rebel forces defending Petersburg. After capturing the enemy's works, General Miles’ men held throughout the night. Their object being accomplish ed, they were preparing next morning to return to the Army of the Potomac, when a furious charge was made upon them by the rebels, who were soon re pulsed, tyid in turn charged upon and driven ferr"some distance. After this the Union troops returned to their old camp, which they reached ou Saturday evening. Their casualities were slight, and a number of rebels were captured. A rebel division under Gen. Field, made a reconnoissance on Saturday down tbe Darbytown road, ou the right of Gen. Butler’s lines. They seemed to be satisfied with a very hasty observa tion, as they soon retraced thtir steps. About midnight on Friday the rebel artillery opened heavily, both on Dutch Gap and on the right of the Army of the James, on the New Market road, but with little effect. Their lire was, how ever, responded to. There is no ialer news of a positive character of the column under General Warren, which went southwest on TVednesdav last along the Weldon rail road. There were unconfirmed rumors that he* had a fight and won a victory ai Jarrat’s Station, three miles from Pe tersburg. The rebel papers now admit that a small Union force had been lodg ed between Drury’s Bluff and Rowletl’B House batteries., Rebels Threatening Hopkinsville, Ky—Breckinridge’s Position.

His force is report ed at about 2,500. When last heard from he was moving toward Hopkins ville, Kentucky, and threatening that place. If he attacks, the garrison being small, will be compelled to fall back to a stronger and more proximate point.. Breckinridge’s jpositjon seems to fee in doubt.

This move'may be considered one of the most successful of the campaign. Some -fifteen miles of the track-of the Weldon Railroad w.ere destroyed; all the depots along the route were burned.

HEADqUARTERS ARMT OF THE POTO • mao, Dec. 11. —The movements in this Department which have been in coarse of execution for the past few days have .finally been developed and now the ob jects intended- to be accomplished may be to thie public aa well as the re sults attained. It was known that the enemy were procuring large supplies for their troops by Way 61 the Weldon Rail road to Btoy Creek, whence they were wagoned to Petersburg. The cav alry force sent there some ten day's ago, not being able to effectually put a stop to the rebel operations, the sth 'corps with Qregg scavalry and the 3d division of the 2d corps were detailed to'effectnally put a stop to it, by destroy ing the railroad as far south as Hick ford, and, if possible, that station also. At daylight on Wednesday morning, the column started south on the Jernsalem Road, and the cavalay taking the ad vance and arriving at a point nineteen miles.from Petersburg, they diverged from the road about a mile to the right, Where they, reached the Nottoway. river. The command at once commenced crossing, They blvouacedon the side for the night. At half past seven o’clock on Thursday morning, the pontoons were taken up and the column started, leaving a cavalry detatchment to pick up stragglers and return with them. On reaching a point several miles ’be yond Sussex Court House, the cavalry were encountered and driven back to where the Weldon Railroad crosses the Nottoway river. About noon the a smalt force of the a.dash in between our caVAliry and the ad vauce of the infantry, hut were soon routed with a slight loss on both sides Here a cavalry man.was found who had evidently been mnrdertd and stripped of even his boots. The advance then commenced the destruction of the railroad, by burning the bridge across the Nottoway river, and continued oil to Jarm’s, arriving at that place on Thursday night. On Friday morning, an early start was made and in the evening the advance reached a point near Hickford, where the enemy were found to be in some three, and having a battery In position with strong works on both sides of the Meherrin river. After the position had been reaumod, and an attack was deem ed impracticable on acconnt of the strength of the works, and the difficul ty-of approaching thorn, particularly the artillery. It was deters in<4 la carry the line on ttys side and destroy the depot, which was successfully done. During this charge Colonel Sargent, of the Ist Massachusetts is said to have been killed. Troops were seen moving into position at this point, as though they had just arrived, and the fire from the rebel batterieajßOon after showed they had been re-inforced.
