PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,1843
rirA LETTER FROM GEN. J.icKsos, repelling cer
tain charges tnade against hirn by H. M. Brackenridge,
will appear in to-morrow's Post.
WESTERN UNIVERSITY.—We understand that the
Winter term of the Western University will commence
to-day,,st. 9 o'clock, A. NI. An address will be deli
vered in theerening, at the Hall of the University, by
WALTER H. "LowatE, Professor of Law.
THE AQUEDUCT.—We are gratified to learn that the
contractors who have undertaken to repair the Aque
dact, have not the slightest doubt but they can accom
plish their contract successfully, and they promise that
by Friday next, they will have it iu order for the pas
sage of boats. This will be good news fur our trans
porters.
FIRE.—On Saturday night, about half past eleven
o'clock, the old frame building, formerly used as the
,
"Citytrospital, but then occupied as a Carpenter shop
by Mr. John Quinn, was discovered to be on fire; and
thou - gb ervery exertion was made by our indefatigable
&roman, the flames spread with such rapidity as to set
at nought all their efforts. Mr. Q. suffers to the am
ount of about 400 dollars, and hie workmen lost all
1 4 1 their tools, St.c. It originated from a furnace, that had
lately gone into operation immediately adjoining.
ACCIDCVT.—As the engines were returning from
the fire of Saturday night, and while coming down the
hill at the head of Sixth street, the Washington Engine
f tan over and broke the thigh bone of a gentleman na
med Fisher.„ She then upset, breaking all the spokes
of one of her wheels. The members, we understand,
borrowed a cart wheel to supply its place, and in this
Billy Barlow condition, wok her home.
BISHOP 01, PUTTSBUJIGII.-it is with great pleasure
sve . annotmee that the nomination of the Very Rev.
M. O'Cositos, as; Bishop of Pittsburgh, has been con
firtrustl.
rp. The Iron Safe manufactured fur the Penn lain:.
mace Company, is said to be one of the best Safes of
the hind ever made in our city.
CANAL TRANSPORTA.TWS.—We would cull the at
"ntilliationof shippers arid the public generally, to the ad-
vortisement of Mr. C. A AlcA❑ulty, late of the firm
of Devine and NlCAnulty. Mr. M. was the first per
son in this city who commenced the forwarding busi
-site's on the principle of "individual enterprise," and,
fora season, he was the only transporter who sustained
the Section Boat and. Truck systeM, and stood alone
l . ::ftgainst the efforts of the combination to break that sys
tem down. The unparalleled success of this mode of
uansportation shows how correct were his anticipations
of its utility,-and the industry and film/less with which
he labored to have this system established, which has
proved of so much advantage to the public interests.
should, and will, we have uv doubt, ensure him a large
shista'of 'patronage.
SZIAIEBOAT ACCID.ENTS.—The Steanwr "Exact."
while maker passage from Saint Louis to Peru, on the
Illia ,
River, struck a snag when ahoet 6 miles above
the former place, in Gabare Schute, and was run on to
-a sand bar, and sunk iu 5 feet water. The St. Louis
'Gazette says, that her cargo, consisting of Sugar, Cof
fee,.Whiskey and Dry Goods will be saved in a dama
ged condition; the boat will be raised again and repair
ed.
ASEMIER..—The Steamboat Julia Chouteau, which
- rim between St. Louis and New Orleans, struck a snag
on the 24th ult. in Muddy Island Schute, in the blissis.
aipphkiver, and sunk. Her cargo was saved in a dam
aged state; and it is expected thattbe boat herself will
be imidea.
Yr! ANOTH ER.—The Steam'r Arcade,struch a snag
or rook on the Albany bar. just below Louisville, on 1 Jet
Saturday. Not much damage done, this time.
THE- DOQUESKE GRA TS.—The fame of this elegan t
militiry company, it seems, is not 'Confined to A Ileghe
ny oonnty, nor the western part of the state. We copy
from the Citizen Soldier, a paper devoted to military
matters, and published in Philadelphia, the subjoined
glowing compliment to the Grays. The editors of the
'soldier have not transcended fact in what they have
said of the superior drill and appearance of the com
pany, as every one knows who has witnessed their ev
olutions:
"WORTHY OF NOTICE.—The Duquesne Grays of
Pittsburgh are worthy of all credit, as one of the most
galltuit companies in our State. Attired in a handsome
uniform, well drilled, and well officered, they number
some sixty muskets, and invariably parade at least fif
ty muskets strong. The Captain is a gallant and sci
entific soldier, and the officers of the Corps are well ex
perienced in all the art of svac,.and at the same time
exceedingly popular with the privates of the Grays, and
thecitixens of Pittsburgh, Would that we could boast
of a few more companies like the Duquesne Grays "

County Commissioner.
A T the solicitation of a number of friends of all
political parties, I respectfully offer myself to
the consideration of my fellow-citizens for the office of
County Commissioner. That my sentiments may not
be misunderstood, either as to political or private
affairs, I make free to say that I have been all my life
a consistent Republican, in the true sense of thcword.
As the country is somewhat embarrassed in its finan
cial affairs, and the reduction of salaries of public
officers hits received . the approbation of large majori
ties of the people, the undersigned would not should
he be so fortunate as to be elected, in any manner at
tempt to resist this salutary reform; should it reach
the office of County Commissioner.

by a Convention, those of you to whom I am not pu
sonally known will please examine into my qualitico
tions, &c.; and if so fortunate as to obt d❑ a majori•y
of your saffrages, I shall endeavor by strict attention
to the duties of the office, to satisfy you with vm r
choice. ALEX MILLER.
