Mr. P.'s loss will not fall much short of twenty-five hundred dollars. notice that Capt. Wesley O.l Thorpe, 13th United States Infantry, for merly mustering anil disbursing officer at this post, has been appointed Acting As sistant Inspector vJoneral of the Military I Division of the Mississippi, headquarters | at Nashville. lh?f~ Ws learn that the journeymen tailors of the city are on a strike. They contend that they are not at present re ceiving as much for their labor as other mechanics, and tbey think that their de mands are no more than just. We do not understand the merits of the strike, but we do know that it takes a big pile of greenbacks to buy a suit of clothes at present prices. (9*TnK brass band attached to Carlin's battery aame over to the city on Tuesday evening and serenaded the citiiens gener ally. The band made very good music and attracted many people wherever it went.? It is composed of young men belonging to the battery and it is very creditable to the musleal ability of the members, many of whom have bad bnt very little praotice as yet. A Slaoqhtbb or Hoos.?The other day, as the train from Washington was coming down over the Hempfield railroad, the engine ran npon some six or seven hogs that were foolish enough to be hunt ing grains of corn on the bridge over Wheeling creek at Elm Orove. Two or three of the porkers were killed outright, and the rest were knocked into the oreek. If the train had been thrown from the track, which laokily was not the case, it would have been a great disaster.

The buildings will be CS feet front, 122 feet deep and three stories high, of 15, 12 and 10 feet. They are to be aompleted by the 1st of April and will be an ornament to that portion of the city, and oreditable alike to the enterprise of the proprietors and the skill of the builders. "Ruhaway Accident?Two Pkbsons | Injured.?On Tuesday evening, as Mr. All ien Davis was going home in bis carriage, bis horse got frightened near Elm Qrove and ran away. Mr. D. was accompanied by bis wife and an old lady whose name we did not learn. The vehicle was npset and all its occupants were thrown upon the road side. Mr. Davis received a severe cnt upon the bead and was otherwise in jured. Mrs. D', who is in bad health, was so severely injured that it was feared she could not recover. The old lady was only slightly hart. The horse ran on with the vehicle, and up to a late hour in the eve ning had not been fonod.

All persons, therefore, who enlist and credit themselves to Ohio county, will receive three hundred and ten dollars, caBh in band, besides the Government bounty, and every person presenting an accepted reorult will receive twenty dollars, ten from the county and ten from the citizens' lund. HgrHow to Pbbvent Boholabhs.?A great proportion of the bote! robberies and burglaries on stores and private houses, are committed by picking door locks with a skeleton key, or where the key has been left in the door by turning it with nippers or an "outsider." To frustrate the efforts of burglars in these attempts, all that is necessary is to simply lock the door, leav ing the key In the lock, and passing through the handle of the key both ends of a piece of wire, bent in the shape of an elongated letter U, and suspended from the door-knob. The key being in the lock prevents the use of a ??skeleton," as does the wire the use of an "outsider." Uibui.?There woi anoth er very good market in the Second Ward yesterday morning.

Niw Toms, August 34.?The morning papers contain very little news to addition to what was telegraphed last night. The Herald'* 10th corps correspondent, oar forces were withdrawn from Deep Bot tom on the night of the 30th. An Impor tant oo operative movement by the 10th corps commenced this morning, details of which will reach you at the proper mo ment. Waihiiotov, Aug. 33, r. 'The Star of this evening, sajs when the boat left City Point yesterday morning, Warren was warmly engaged with the enemy, who was trying to dislodge him from his position on the Weldon rail road. His position is so much strengthened as to be deemed im pregnable. A Times special dated Washington, Aug. 23, says that it is reported by officers jast arrived from the hoot, that an attack was made on Sunday upon our left by the rebels in which they were handsomely repulsed. The rebel General A. H. Hill, was knocked from his horse by a piece of shell and badly wonnded, and that Gen. Heath and Fits Hugh Lee, son of the rebel captain, were killed. Hbadquahtibs Abut or thb Potomac, Ang. 23.?The enemy early yesterday morniog disappeared from the front of the &th and Sth corps on the Weldon railroad, and it is believed that the attempt to re gain this important line of communication has been abandoned, and tbe enemy are fortifying their right flank to resist an at tack in this direction. They may be pre paring to make a dash on oar lines in some other.direction. The wet weather is making travel very difficult. Several deserters have come in, some of whom think that the end of the straggle is near at hand, and they believe that Peters bnrgh is now within oar grasp and will be ia oar hands at an early day. Rebel Treachery. Nsw Yobe, Aug. 24.?Tbe Herald gives the following particulars of the rebel Gen. Haywood's treachery, in the battle of the 21st: The rebels found themselves nnder a quadruple fire of musketry and artillery, which caased them to throw dawn their pieces and throw down their arms in token of surrender. Gen. Cutler sent Capt. Da ley, of his staff, to receive them as prison ers. Our men having ceased firing, Daley told Haywood that he bad been sent to re ceive him and his brigade as prisoners. Without saying a word, Haywood drew his revolver and shot Capt. Daley. The Cap tain lived only half an hour, but long enough to make his statement. Haywood followed.tbe shooting of Daisy by calling upon bis men to pick np their muskets and follow him back, which order they attempted to obey. Our men again fired, when tbey again threw down their pieces, and this time gave themselves up as prisoners. This second volley added large numbers to their killed and wounded, among them Hay wood, who was shot through the bead. Tbe prisoners numbered between five and six hundred. After two hours' fighting the battle ended. The same correspondent states that tbe rebels report that tbe rebel Gen. Hooke was killed on that day. From Harper'a Ferry. Nsw Yobe, Aug. 13.?Dispatobes to the Herald, dated Harper's Ferry, August 22d, 11.30 a. m., say. Skirmishing commenoed very early this morning on the right and extended along the whole line. Tbe rebels made several charges which drove our lines in, and were rapidly driven through the town out on the Harper's Ferry pike. The rebels fol lowed. The whole army is now strongly posted on the heights in the rear of this place. Tbe enemy ia close upon us, but seeing us s4 thoronghly prepared tbey may not risk an engagement. Should they do so, yonr readers may look for some very encouraging news. Baltihobs, August 24.?Reports have been received here by way of the Northern Central Railroad that tbe rebels have crossed tbe river. Tbe reports need con firmation. Nothing direct has been re ceived from tbe Dpper Potomac. The Richmond Dispatch of August 20th has tbe following: "Tbe most important news we have from this poiot is tbata force of the enemy has advanced from Pensacola towards Hoblle Bay. We had previously heard this as a rumor, but preferred awaiting a confirmation before making it public." Naw Yoke, Ang. 24, Noon.?Gold 2ST. Uoney 7 per cent. Sterling unchanged. Last Night's Report. Bebela Abandoned the Weldon Railroad Niw Yobe, Aug. 24.?A special dispatch to the Commercial Advertiser, dated Wash ington, August 24th, has tbe following: Advices to-day from tbe Army of tbe Potomac state that Gen. Warren is missing. We made a reconnoissance yesterday to wards Petersburg and ascertained that the rebels bad fallen back to their works at that place, thus abandoning the Weldon Railroad to its fate. Tbe expedition sent down the road yesterday pulled up rails and destroyed bridges to the extent of thirty-five or forty miles. Latbb.?Our forces have advaneed on the Weldon Railroad to within two miles of Petersburg without opposition. Tbe rebels bavs retreated within their earth works and no longer dispute the possess ion of tbe Weldon line. The Danville road is naturally the next poiot of contention, and It is reported this morning that a cav alry dash in that direction has already been made. Tbe news received here to-day from Sherman's department is exceedingly sat isfactory. His plans tor tbe redustion of Atlanta are said to be working to tbe best advantage, and tbere is abundant evidence of a considerable degree of demoralisation among tbe rebel troops. It Is asserted here this morning with a degree of plausibility, that Hooker will be immediately put In tbe field with an im portant command. Government dispatch es wsre forwarded to him to-day. Latest from Sheridan. Philadelphia, August 24.?The Bulle tin baa tbe followiog special from Har per's Ferry, dated Ang. 23: Tbe position of onr army is still on changed. A strong line of entrenchments has been thrown out in front. Desultory skirmishing eonld be heard all day yester day, and this morning it broke out -with redoubled vigor in front of the 19tb corps, which is holding the centre: nothing of importance, however, resulted from it, and it has now almost entirely ceased. 7V?Jvt o'clock, midnight.?No evidence of the enemy being in onr immediate front baa been obtained as yet, and it is believed they will make an attempt to cross the ? river, although oar latest news from WU lluuport, eays they have not J?l eroeied I lb a Potomac.

The rebel* fired on the patients la the hospitals, shot several alck soldiers, captured otbere who were enable to keep ap with the cavalry, and killed them. I But for the acUon of the 8th Iowa, the prisoner* in the Oily pri-ou might have 1 been released and the Bulletin office sacked. The rebels suddenly left the city, about 6 o'clock, followed by a considerable force I of our troope, and a fight occurred near Lane's, lasting two hours, in which the enemy were eeverely punished and driven 1 off. It was hsre that Cols. Starr and Ken- I drick were wounded. ? I In coming through the lines the rebels 1 captured two guos, a portion of the 7th I Wisconsin battery, and a number of 100 days men, but were obliged to abandon the I guns on tbelr retreat. I After the retreat Forrest sent a flsg of I truce, asking an exchange of prieoners, I which was declined. Lt. Harrington, of tha 3d N. J.
