Offerings were unusually brisk, but owing to some unknown reason the transactions were not very large. This Is probably owing to the fact that none wish to dispose of their stocks unless at a high price.

Y Unton Lubrlc Startling Developments—The Bristol (Ehckle Island) Phcenix, of last week, has the followiog thrilling story, whivh wIU prove in teresting to our readers: A large, rough wooden box whs landed here from the steamer Biadfonl Durfee, oa Wednet d»y last, directed to “Mre A lice Rogers, Bris tol, Rhode Island ” The box was taken to a house oa the new street, north of the Catholic Church, tj a family who received it, supposing It to be sent to a friend of theirs, an Irish girl by same of Alice Rogers, who, we learn, has been In this country but a short time, and who is employed in a family living on the Ferry road. Bliss Rogers on the afternoon of the same day, being Informed that a box had been received, di rected to her, went to the house alluded to above, and oaused the box to be opened, and was very much surprised to find that it contained the remains |of a full grown man, without -clothes or robe, the rest of the box being filled with shavings and hay. On the inside of the Aid was written the following: “Mr. John Mc- Keon, Grant street, Pittsburgh, Pa.” The President of the Town Council, Samuel Sparks, £sq., took charge of the box and its contents on Thursday morning and deposited them in the Town’s vault on Mount Lane. It cannot be denied that the above is horrible la the extreme, and one cannot but Imagine the feelings of the young girl on opening the box above mentioned. Nevertheless, when we learn the true circumstances of the affair our feelings wUI be a little quieted, and the suspicions of some foul murder which the above horrible sto ry would leaj ua to entertain will be entirely dispersed. It appears that several years ago, a lady named Rogers died in Ohio, and her re mains were brought by her relatives to this city, and Interred in the Catholic burying ground, in the Eighth Ward. Some years later the family removed to Khode Island, to which place it win determined they «hould remove the remains of the lady. A daughter o! the deceased came to this city for the above purpose, had the body dis-interred, and having found upon examina tion that only a few bones and a little dust re mained, ehe decided to transfer them to a smai:- •er box. The work of removal was entrusted to iHcKeoa, and the remains were shipped by ex press to Rhode Island. They, however, fell in. to the wrong hands, and from this the above •tory originated. Under this view it has lost a great deal of Its romance, but as truth Is just as acceptable to our matter-of-fact community as the horrors of fiction, they will, no doubt, be gratified to learn the true circumstances con nected with the affair. Launch or the Manaynnk.'—The gun boat Manayunk, built In the yard of Snowden A Mason, waa yeaterday successfully launohed Notwithstanding the very unfavorable state of the weather, large crowda of people turned out at an early hour to witneaa the launching. The street; on this side of the river was utterly crowded, and the bridge was laden with specta tors. The yard also, was filled with as many as could gain admittance, but owing to its lim lted capacity and the great number of workmen who were employed in launching the boat, a great many were refused admittance. The men commenced work at an early hour in the morn lag, and about one o’clock had everything in readiness. Everything was conducted so suc cessfully that but little impetus was necessary to start her. As soon as the Impetus was given, she gilded Into the river with the utmost veloc ity. Those on deck joyously cheered and waved their hats, and the crowd on shore responded with a hearty good will. The iron-clad monster then glided down the river, and wasspon envel oped In the dense fog. She was conveyed by two tug-boats to the foot of Liberty street, where she la at present. The epeoiflo dimen sions of the Manayunk are as follows: Extreme length, 235 feet; extreme length at water line, 209 feet; extreme length of beam, Inside,42feet; ditto over armor, 48 feet; depth of hold, 11 feet 10 Inches. The pilot house will be Bix feet high and five feet In diameter. The turret will be covered with iron plates nine feet long, four feet In breadth, and of one inoh In thickness. Ten of these will form the strength of the turret, making It In all nearly one foot thick of aolid Iron. She will only carry two guns In her tut. ret, of fifteen Inch bore. Her engines will be of a power capable of rendering her one of the' fastest gunbosta in our fleet. The turret, and other appurtenances, wUI be placed on her as soon as possible, and she will soon be performing active service. The cost of this gunboat will be Immense, and the raw material alone will cost the government a large sum of money. Girard House.—Several facts have recently come to light in relation to the state of discipline in the Girard House. These facts, to •ay tha least, are not veiy gratifying to the pub lie generally, anil, of course, are oontradieted by the military authorities atthe Girard House. We are of opinion that the matter should be thoroughly ventilated, and strict discipline be restored, in case the rules of di-cipUne are so flagrantly violated as the facts elicited would lead us to think. Petrifaction.—A remarkabie petrifaction of an entire tree, it is said, was lately discovered in the Baltimore mine on the Monongahela riv. er, by the miners, while blasting for coal. The piece of the trunk taken out weighs nearly Tour thousand pounds, and still there remains the root of the tree imbedded in the coal. There nre also to be found In the same mine petrifac tion of the cactus and other plants peculiar to tropical climates. Coal Barges Sunk.—On Saturday, two coal barges, laden with coal, were sunk in the Monongahela rirer, near the Point. We have not ascertained the cause of -the accident.

Meeting of the County Teachers' As sociation.—The Oouaty Teachers’ Association held a meeting on SatunUy morning, st ten o’olock, at the Fourth Ward School House. The meeting was well attenled. After prayer ant reading of minutes, the Rev. Dr. Wilson deliv ered an address on the “Mission of.. Teachers.” His address was both eloquent aud lnatructlve, and he spoke of the mission of teachers and of their duties, In a manner highly impresari c. After showing the power that the teacher wields la shaping the mind of youth, he urged them to unremitting real in their high calling, in view of its importance. Rev. Strnuel Williams was called upon and made a few remarks, after which, miscellaneous business was attended to, when the meeting adjourned. Raffles.— There aie more raffles going on in the city now than we h ive noticed for some time. Everything is telnt raffled off, from a silk handkerchief to a tnrse and carriage.— Somebody must be making a “good thing” out of this at the expense of those who Invest their money in suoh speculations, as they can easily obtain double the value oMhe article by ratfling it off. As a general thlog, raffling is not a very lucrative business to those who lay down their money in the expectation of winning an object, when the chances are a hundred to one that he wUI neither win the object nor get thejworth of his moneyin any m&noer whatsoever. Ferry-Boat Bonk—On Friday night the moat startling rumors were spread around thecity to the effect that Jones’ ferry-boat had sunk In the Monongahela river, and a large number of passengers had been drowned. Only a part oi this rumor was true. The ferry-boat, while crossing the river, was snagged, and sank alter a few minutes, but three women, who were the only passengers, ani alt the employees were saved with difficulty. Asked. 01 Committed.— John Gaster, Martin Wolf, and Springer were committed to jail on Friday evening, by the Mayor, to await the result of injuries which they had inflicted on the person of a man named Etchner, at the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot. Eichner is now in a very low coodition, and his attending physician informed the Mayor that he believed he would not recov er, hla skull being fractured. 126 l |0 360 6 00 80 100 A BUw Employment.— On „Friday, the MonongaheUrirer was filled with large numbers of perch, which floated down the river In a re markable state of stupor. While in that state they were easily picked up by numbers of men and boys, who were actively engaged in fris new employment- On : being touched, the fish quickened into life, and If not captured immedi ately, disappeared under the water. 1 00 86 60 3 37 3 16 60 65 Promoted.—Captain Wm.

The position was a strong one and to reach it our forces had to ascend the hills to an elevation of 15 degrees without any protection. Our lines were lour columns deep., with ample reserves. Our forces were massed against the rebel lines, and the veteran columns were hurled against the rebels with irre- Bistable force, and at five minutes be fore 5 p. m. the charge commenced.— The Ist and 2d divisions of the 4th Corps moved west, and the 3d division at right angles with it. Moving south on ns right, was a corps of A. J. Smith’s command. The Ist and 2d divisions had the hardest task to perform and were in the most exposed position. In their front the rebel works were stronger than elsewhere, and more formidable Under a heavy fire of grape, canister and musketry our men moved steadilv forward, but owing to the rebels firing too high, it mostly passed over them otherwise the slaughter would have been terrible. Some of our men were killed, but the list of casualties is less than could have been expected. After advancing to within lr>o yards of their works their fire was severest. Our troops never wavered, but with a shout along the lines ranging along the Hills boro Pike, they again advanced, aud were almost immediately upon the en trenchments. The distance yet to be passed did not exceed one hundred yards, and re-enforcements were in sight, coming up. Yet the rebels evin ced no signs of retiring, but discharged volley after volley into our ranks at a distance of twenty-five yards. A few of our men had reached the works and were using the bayonet. Bome few ol the rebels fled who were followed by others, when soon all broke and fled in the wildest con fusion.

Nashville, Dec. 15.—The army com menced moving at daybreak to day— Steadman’s Corps on our left, the Fourth Corps next, then A. .1. Smith’s Corps ol cavalry. This force moved to the right, and the Twenty-Third Corps was held in reserve. Very little except reeonnoitreing was done till after meri dian, but at half past twelve the order to advance was given, and the whole column moved onward. The rebels ev idently expected Thomas would attempt to turn their right flank, and all indica tions would pre suppose this. They had offered numerous inducements for us to do so, and had carefully prepared their works to receive our forces, if we should attack them in that quarter to keep up in the direction of Steadman's com mand, and to skirmish heavily on our left as our forces moved in the direc tion of that point, which was believed to be threatened, and while they were massing their troops on the right we were concentrating the 16th and 23d Corps and General Wilson’s cavalry on our right. The results were, when the bugjes sounded and we advanced onr right, the enemy advanced rapidly be tween the rebel left and the Cumber land river, completely dividing up the rebel division which the rebels had pos ted there to blockade the river. A bat tery was taken by our forces and sent to the rear. The rebels had by 'hi-, time discovered that our attack on their right was a feint, and Hood scon at . tempted to alone lor his flrst fail ure, but it was too late. o, n nght had established themselves ou the main boat, and were steadily ad vanning the whole. The 23d corps had taken position on the extreme right, and Smith's corps were executing a iiali wheel, driving the columns of rebels easily and J rapidly, and afterwards’ the lull was taken with little loss and without much difficulty. In an hom or so the rebels presented a strong front Our progress was, lor the moment, checked. It was now visible that tin contest was about to commence. A noth er division on the left was made, in order to enable our men on the right to ge into position and strengthen themselves SO as lo be ready for a charge. In front of the 4th corps, and about one mile be yond Ockliu, Ibe rebels had a strong line ol works, defended by a heavy line ol 'Skirmishers, and (*en. Wood gave tlit* order to charge upon it. When Un word ‘’forward” was shouted by the brigade, division and regimental com manders, it was executed with prompt ness and decision, and the men leaped over the breastworks and advanced. In less than twenty minutes our men bad posessii.n of the rebel works, and the lianners of the 4th corps were planted upon them. Our men, flushed with vic tory, without orders, rushed forward and had nearly reached the second line ol rebel works, and they were only reached by the most strenuous exertion, when they captured sixty prisoners, which with those taken in the rebel entrench' ments, amounted to over one hundred The second line of rebel entrenchments were now in sight, and located on the verge of the hill, one mile from our 6kir mish line, and had been built with great skill. Some time elapsed before our men were got into position. Our cavalry bad advanced, meanwhile, until its right rested on the hills some miles beyond Nashville, from the river. It had now to manoeuvre wilhont difficulty. Instead of facing lo the west it now faced directly to the south, and the second corps-of Schofield and Smith’s com mands were in position directly in paral lei an the left, and the skirmishers along Hie line having been advanced to the Hillsboro Pike, sheltering ltehind the fences on the north side while the Fourth Corps was formed at tight angles in front of the division ly lDg directly across the Hillsboro Pike the remainder being to the left of that’. While these movements were going ou and our lines were forming, batteries were being placed in position, the rcb els could be distinctly seen moving to the left flank from toward the Hillsboro Pike with a view to prevent our turning their left flank. As far as cottld be as certained by observation their entire re serve was thus thrown to the front of our right and centre. In the meantime onr commanders sent re enforcements I equally strong to our posts that were meuaced by the rebels Prisoners report that Hood told than they could hold their position against any force which could be brought against them. Our loss in this charge did not exceed one hundred killed and wounded. Smith’s and Schofield’s corps had, in’the meantime, advanced" half a mile to the south of the Hillsboro pike, capturing a whole battery and six guns. Of this total of artillery, five guns were captured by the 15th Ohio. On the extreme left [he number of guns captured amounted to eighteen. Sev eral battle flags were also captured. The rebel lass in killed and wounded is not less than six hundred, while ours is not less than three hundred. The enemy taken up a second line, and may have to defend It to morrow if they do not re treat to-night. One of the moat brilliant charges made was by the 11th, 12th, 13lh, 14th, 17th and 111th colored regiments, on Rains Hill, near the Nashville pike, which ut terly routed the rebel line. The col ored troops behaved splendidly, but lost severely. Col. Shaffer’s regiment (the 17th) lost nearly all its officers. Qen. Beatty led the charge on the first rebel. At 12 o’clock to-day our forces carrriea, at the point of the bayonet, and planted our guns on the rebel aban doned -works. Fifty prisoners were captured in this charge. Our loss is very light. We advanced within one mile of the rebel line, when they re treated in great confusion. Lieutenant W. Watson, of the sth lowa cavalry was shot through the breast while gallantly ! charging the enemy’s batteries, and mor tally wounded. The steamer Pike, in the quartermas ter’s service, while proceeding up the liver, and when within six miles of the city, was fired into by the rebels ■ one man (George Blakely) was killed, and four others wounded. Bhe belonged to the gunboat fleet, which was engaged down the river about fourteen miles from the city. All day we were shelling the rebel left very vigorously. Among the captured of to day was the head quarters of the rebel Gen. Cheatham consisting of fifteen wagons. Among the contents were all of hA books, pa pers, valuables, &c. These are now at Capt. Goodwin’s headquarters. About five hund.ed and fifty prisoners have reached the city. The total number or prisoners will not fall short of twelve hundred. Captain Grosveror, brother of Col.

STANTON’S WAR BULLETIN The Capture of Fort McAllister. CV Wa “ Übpabtment. Washington, tu C '4®'i lBB4 —Tu Major General Dir Ihe Richmond papers ol today state that “on Wednesday Genet al tfbcrnmn earned Fort McAllister, commanding the entrance to the Ogeechee river, by storm, and that the capture of this posi lion puts Sherman in communication with the \ ankec Beet, and necessitates the reinforcement of Savannah.” The Richmond Dispatch says: “Offi cial intelligence was received yesterday !n* my » on Wednesday carried rort McAllister by storm. The garri son of the fort consisted of one hundred and fifty men. Fort McAllister is on the Ogeechee river, fifteen miles south west of Savannah, at the point ’where the nver is crossed by the Savannah, Albany and Gnlf Railroad, and about six miles from Osaabaw Sound. The capture of this position puts, Sherman in communication with the J Yankee fleet. Without attempting any ’military criti cism, we cannot withhold the opinion that the exposing of one hundred men to the assault of Sherman’s whole army was a piece of extravagance that Sher man’s present military resources do not seem to warrant. Tho Examiner has the following: “Fort McAllister commands the en trance to the Ogeechee yiver, and has presented the enemy heretofore iroru ascending the river. We .believe there are other works fnther up the stream which would render the navigation ol the stream by the enemy extremely un comfortable. The fall of Fort McAllis ter does not by any means 'involve the loss of Savannah, but will necessitate the reinforcement of the troops defend ing that city.” Up to this hour, (half past eight p. m. ) nothing has been heard from Gen eral Sherman later than the Richmond papers’ report of the capture of Fort McAllister,on Wednesday.
