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’. Association held a meeting
last evening for the purpose of taking further
action An regard to the erection of a Are alarm,
telegraph in this city. The taa&fer was discuss
ad at considerable length, bat no deflnlfeacijtjfi
was taken further tnan the appointment of a
committee of live to push forward the enter
prise and derise ways and means for facilitating
the project A report from the Cleveland com
mittee in regard to the telegraph in that city
was received. 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. It beif)g ; admitted
that the Cleveland telegraph was an infringe
ment on the patent of the .American fire Alarm
Telegraph Company, it is necessary to apply, to
that company to have one erected in this city.
As a telegraph can be had for any sum. between

tion of the Association' to erect as perfect a
telegraph as the funds subscribed to for that
pWfeose will admit.

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,

Louisville, December, 12.—The rebel
Gen. Lyou crossed the Cumberland

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

Since, has returned to camp. 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. Numer
ous mills, barns - anil dwellings from
the cover of which guerrillas had filed
on our troops, of from which, the oecu-.
pants had fied, were destroyed. • Our

Weather cold.
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. It qow got dark
and began raining, snowing ana freez
ing. The troops camped in the vicinity
for the night and in the morning started
on their return reaching’Sussex Court
House, and halting there on Saturday
night. The rebel cavalry gnd a small
hpdy of tjjeif, infantry, endeavored to
annoy oW rekr guard, but each time
they wejre-dtiTenbackiwith loss.
This evening the Nottoway river was
reached and ihe entire command cross
ed in safety, where they found a part pf
the 9th corps, who bad started to thID
aid, in case of an engagement. To
morrow they will all be back in their
old, position In front of Petersburg.

What they Say About Savahnah
The Opdyke Libel Suit.
N&wYonk, Dec. 18.—In the election
for general officers of the fire depart
ment last night those opposed to the
paid system were elected.
Tiie pi i 3? steamer Armstrong arrived;
here this morning forty-eight hours
from Norfolk. She was captured eighty
miles off Wilmington by the steamers
R. R. .Cuyier and OeUysbnrg after an
exciting chase of eight hours. She is a
faetsatldf and averaged fourteen mljel
an hour. She is an iron, tide-wheel
steomer, 700 tons burden, four months
old and has a cargo of cotton.. She was
captured on her third trip.
A large number of exchanged prison
ers arrived last evening by railroad from
Annapolis. Some of them recently left
Andersonville, having been removed am
the approach of Sherman’s army to Sa
vannah, where they were exchanged..
They declare that no one who* has not
seen rebel prisons can form any<#wea of
the sufferings endnred by the prison
ers. On reaching Savannah they found
many fiienda among the ladies of that
place, who gave them all the assistance
in their power, (Xirriishing them provis
ions and< other necessaries. Some
prisoners say that many otfhe citizens
of Savannah are Unionists, and express
the opinion that there is nothing which
could .prevent Gen. Sherman from tak
ing Bavannah, as the rebel force fs
small and the fortifications very weak. !
