Newspaper Page TextThe Sayannah Daily Herald. THURSDAY, AUGUST IT, I*6l. PITTSBURCH. ITS LOCATION, POPULATION, MANU FACTURES AND SCENERY. There is not perhaps a village in the United States with one fourth the population or nmn focturing importance of Pittsburgh, Pa., that is not better known to the Southern public. Situated west of the Alleghany Mountains, and oft from any of the great thoroughfares of Southern and Northern travel, very few at the South, except those whose business has made them acauainted with the immense amount of iron, glass and other manufactures aupplied from the forges, foundries, mills and workshops of Pittsburgh, have any knowl edge of the wealth and immense importance of that enterprising city of the West. The growth, too, ot Pittsburgh has been truly surprising, unsurpassed by that of any West ern town, except perhaps it be Chicago. Within our own recollection, ‘‘The Pitt, ’ or “Fort Pitt,” as it was then called, was a vil lage of only some twenty thousand inhabit ants, and distinguished only for its coal smoke, iron foundries and glass works, and as being the head of navigation for the'high pressure steamboats of the Ohio and Missis sippi. In ibat day the city was connected across the Alleghany with Alleghany Town, then a little vilHtge of cottages and vegetable gardens, by one wooden bridge. Another bridge across the Mouongahela connected it with the immense coal mountain on the op posite shore, and the few forges, rolling mills and glass works then scattered along the narrow patteau of ground between the river bank and the mountain where Birming ham now* stands. The city, occupying a small peninsula formed by the con fluence of*the Alleghany and Monon gahela rivers, which makes the Ohio, was pressed close in the rear by Grant's and Breed’s Hills, which rose abruptly from the level plain on which the city was built.— These hills were being flanked by a line of factories and forges, extending up the banks of Monongahela and Alleghany, buildings were encroaching upon the almost perpen dicular sides of Grant’s Hill, and Old Fort DuQuin, or Fort Pitt, on the Point, immedi ately at the junction of the rivers, with its ancient earthworks, was gradually disappear ing before the march of improvement though the old bomb-proof, with its bullet pierced oaken _ door, remained and was pointed out still* as an interesting relic, of the old French and English war, the distin guishing evenUif which was the deieat of Gen. Braddock. Such was Pittsburg in 1825; but, situated in the of a rich agricultural country, with inexhausti ble beds of coal and iron in almost immedi ate proximity, and with its immense reach of river navigation embracing the Allegha ney, Monongahela, Ohio, Mississippi, Mis souri and their innumerable tributaries, it was easy to foresee that with these natural advantages, in the hands of American en terprise, the city must ultimately become a place of great manufacturing and commer cial importance. Canals, railroads and magnetic telegraphs, which were only be ginnaing to be thought of in those days, have since found a great centre in the Iron Citv, the advancement of which lias mote than realized the brilliant future anticipated for it by its most sanguine citizens. The following is a description of Pittsburgh of 1865 as given by a correspondent of the Washington Chronicle. He says— No manufacturing city in the State has been more improved and at the same time more benelitted by the war than Pittsburg. It formerly commanded a large share of Southern patron works, nail and cotton mills, and tobacco warehouses were taxed to their utmost to supply the Southern and Western, together with the Northern and Eastern markets. The city is bounded by the Alleghany, the Mo nongahela and Ohio rivers, and the great railroaps centre and radiate from this point. Its harnors and levees and admirably adapted tor trade, and are at this moment lined with the old-fashioned Mississippi steamboats, with their curious smoke stacks. It is con nected with Alleghany City by three bridges, spanning the river of that name, one of which, a suspension iron or wire bridge, similar to that at Niagara, iB considered one ' of the finest structures of the kiud in this country. It cost three hundred and thousand dollars. During the vise*: Prifice of Wales to Xlred cess ot construction,’ suite. Ou by himself and Mimongahela is Bir the opposite is near the city mingkam, wlDit j 3 supposed that Allegha ot Aik'gtpftfsburgh contain a population of ny 9ftmdred and twenty thousand. The Flirt Pitt Iron Works, celebrated for their immense guus and cannon of all kinds, are on the banks of the Alleghany.— They arc still in operation. Several of the glass works remained idle during the war, but with the renewal of the South era trade they will lie carried on more largely, probably, than ever. The nalktnills are constantly running. The iron works on the opposite banks of the Mouongahcla are built atthe foot of a mountain, called Coal Hill, which abounds in biiuminous coal These mines are worked differently from the aittbracite mines of Schuylkill county. Hori zontal gangways are opened in the mountain and studded with timber. The coal is brought out in small cars, drawn by Newfoundland dogs, and by means of f hutts are emptied directly into the furnaces or lodged in boats that line the wharf, as may be desired. The supply of this coal is considered inexhausti ble. The surface of the land is sold sepa- rately from the mining interest, and is capa ble of profitable cultivation. There is some thing in the soil hereabouts specially adapted to the raising of fruit. Peaches and pears are grown in great perfection. Pittsburgh is shut in on all 6ides by bigli mountains. Ele gant country residences crown their summits, from which delightful views of the surround ing country can be obtained. On the Alle ghany side the land on these mountains has, to a very great extent, been used for vine yards. The first impression a stranger roceives is that cornfields flourish thereon.— An immense quantity of native wine is annually manufactured here. No town, except those immediately in the oil re gion, has been more/naterially improved bv the wonderful oleaginous discovery than Pittsburg. It has been, and doubtless will continue to be, the principal depot for the shipment, transportation, reception, refinery, and sale of petroleum. Here it is frequently brought in its crude state. A number of ex tensive refineries we always employed in preparing it for market. They are located on the wesCern bank of the Alleghany, in Pittsburgh. The levee, extending the whole length'of the town, with a gradual descent— some one hundred feet—is crowded with bar- rels of petroleum, and the atmosphere is filled with it. Some years ago this portion of Pittsburgh wag selected as the most desir able site for handsome private residences; but ere lone it will be abandoned on account of the petroleum traffic. The oil is frequent ly brought here in flat boats in bulk, and only barreled after it is refined and prepared tot market. There have been instances where, through carelessness or intentionally. it has bas been set on fire while being transported here, and at such times the scene on the river has been peculiarly grand. It is impossible to form any idea of the extent this trade has reached, and it is doubtless yet in its infancy. The oil lauds of Western Virginia are not many miles distant. Some ot them, I be lieve, have not yet been fully developed, but it is confidently predicted that they will prove equally as valuable as those in Penn sylvania. • Many persons who, a few years ago, were in moderate circumstances, now boast their millions. Petroleum princes are quite common; a number ot them are resi dents of Pittsburgh. They are generally shrewd business men, and know how to take care ot the immense fortunes they have so suddenly accumulated. The high hills that surround Pittsburgh naturally render it one of the easiest places to defend in the Union. During the excite ment of 18G3, however, when a raid of the rebels was anticipated and dreaded, there were no fortifications on these hills, and the town was almost wild with excitement, when the citiftens—men and women—turned out and built twenty-seven forts. It so happened, however, that alter their work was finished, upon inquiry they ascertained that, while Pittsburgh was the grand depot for the man ufacture of warlike weapons, the heavy guns, cannon, Ac., had all been sent away as com pleted. But the emergency happily passed away. There are many handsome stores here, with iron fronts of the most complete models. Statuary, brackets, &c., are used as ornaments. These, as well as all the painted walls and buildings, are soon disadorned by the showers of soot, and everything wears a dingy appearance. The churches are nu merous and well attended. The most con spicuous of these is St. Paul’s Cathedral. It has lieen many years in building, and is not yet finished It is very massive, and for size compares favorably with the celebrated cathedrals in Philadelphia and Baltimore.— The figures of St. Peter, St. Paul and St. John appear to be life size, although they keep watch from the towers of this lofty edi fice. The smoke and soot have no par ticular. regard for them, and although cut out of Freeport or light sand stone, they axe clothed in the same sombre garb that enshrouds everything in this iron city, and look as if they were liter ally clothed in sackcloth and ashes. One of the loveliest spots, and the most extensive of its kind we have ever seen, is the Cemetery. The plot of ground, some sixty acres, was originally purchased from General Bayard.— It was then a considerable distance from the town, but the rapid strides of improvement have reached it, and the road leading to it is quite closely built up. The demand for lots and the rapidity with which it filled up during the year in which the cholera raged here, induced the managers to extend their space, which now covers some two hundred acres. Nature. has never lavished more bounteously her gifts than in these same grounds. Every variety of scenery here abounds. Natural and artificial lakes have been arranged. Thirty-five miles of a drive can be had within the Cemetery walls.— While many of the lots have been improved, much of the property remains in its primeval state. The monuments are as varied and as costly or expensive as the taste or the means of the purchaser would afford. Many of them are extremely novel and beautiful, and oth ers Tfave evidently been erected too much for the sake of the outward show. I will not attempt to give you a description of the Cemetery, nor will I prolong what has al ready grown into an unreasonable lengthy letter. Returned Soldiers and Bailors in New York.— A New York letter of Friday says: The demonstration o( the returned soldiers and sailors in pursuit of employment passed dff this afternoon in good order. The pro cession numbered five ox six hundred per sons, in civilian costume, preceded by, a band of music, and led by marshals on horse back. The procession marched from Canal street, down Broadway to Wall street, halt ing at the newspaper offices, and visiting the Custom House. On their return they drew up in front of the Mayor's office, and made a loud call for a speech. His Honor not being at home, his deputy, Mr. Morton, came out and harangued the boys. He congratulated them on their heroic services during the war, and upon their ex emplary behavior on the restoration of peace. He thought it was but right that they should be provided with employment, and in his judgment those who had%grown rich upon contracts, etc., should now come forward and give the veterans a chance to support themselves and their families by honest la bor. There was a slight flavor of dema gogism in this part of the gentleman’s re marks, which did not ese»p° soldiers’ at tention. They listened to it, but they dill not applaud it. After leaving the Hall, the procession moved back to its head-quarts** at Pythagoras Hall, and the men ste’riiy afterwards returned, in quiet, to the'’' homes. Thk Attemitep AbDUCTIO.V Geobgk N. Sanders.— The Torontq fcdat el , s . a y s that eight persons who wey; in the at tempted abduction, orge N- Sanders are in custody in > and that a stranger Darned Wa'* < ! arrested at Gaugknawaga, had in lik -'*^ BBloo portraits ol Sanders, Clay, Th' Tucker and Jefferson. The po who stopped the carriages on the Laeh me road, were fired on by the kidnappers, but none of the shots took effect. The names of the men positively connected with the ab duction are Charles E. Ilogan, W. A. Burns Walter Clayton and Anthony Wayne. Some of the names are believed to be fictitious. The prisoners will be examined and the case will be remanded to the Queen’s Bench. A New Religion.— A New York letter of the lltli says: Strange as it may seem, a “new religion” was made, this afternoon, by one Noyes \V heeler, who claims to have been annointed high priest of the “New Spiritual Baptist Church, the chief article of which provides lor the admission of the female persuasion as preachers and priests. Ati excursion was got up by Wheeler, by steamboat, to Glen Cove, where the “new Church was to be for mally inaugurated. The “roughs” discovered it and were free purchasers of tickets. The consequence was a row. The Captain of the steamboat, fear mg to continue the trip, changed the course ot the boat to Staten Island, where all hands were “dumped down” and left to find their way back to the city as best they could.— Wheeler is a fanatic, and a promising candi date for a straight jacket. A Case op ‘‘lnsane Impulse.” — Margaret Weirner who does not possess the best repu tation, became incensed with John Lyons, a soldier, who has been attentive to her fer sometime. Saturday evening they met in a restaurant in Washington, when Margaret mew a pistol and shot at Lyons, but missed L >'“ ns ran from the building, but was Ihni 6 Margaret, who fired a second t Lri\ th ( C T ba t,!,s Bme taking effect in the ”. of ~y°n s> inflicting a painful, but not infwred' h mon l l v WoUlld - Margaret, it is interred, has read the trial of Mary Harris. ■ 4 Z\ sr Princess.—The Princess Metter nic 1 and some of her gay friends went to a restaurant a short distance out of Paris, and had such a noisy spree, that a crowd collect ed under the windows aud hooted the party, lo appease the rabble the Princess went out upon the balcony and sang a comic song. Ambergris.— The schooner Sarah E Lewis, Captaiu Farwell, from the North Atlantic ocean, arrived at this port. Among her cargo are forty pounds of ambergris in one lump, valued at several thousand dollars. It was taken from the intestines of a fifty barrel sperm whale. Seizlreov Cigars.— The Traveller says: The leadiug hotels of this city have been visited by the internal Revenue (Ifflcers, who seizes ell tueir stock of cigars for an alleged violation ot tbe revenue laws. The cigars were carried to the U. S. Court-house, and placed in the custody of the U. fcj. Mar shal.’ 1 COTTOS.

Jnly 12,1665, j Circular, > No. 11. f Instructions to Assistant Commissioners and other Officers. Each Assistant Commissioner will be careful, in the establishment of snb-districts, to have the office of hiu agent at some point easy of access for the people of the sub-district. He will have at least one agent, either a citizen, military officer, or enlisted man, in each sub-district This agent must be thoroughly instructed in his dul ties. He will be furnished with tlic proper blanks for contracts, aiurwill institute methods adequate to meet the wants us his district in accordance with the rules of this Bureau. No fixed rates of wages will be pre scribed for a district. but in order to regulate fair wages in given individual cases, the agent should have iu mind minimum rates lor his own guidance By care ful inquiry as to the hire of an able-bodied man when the pay went to the master, he will have an approxi mate test of the value of labor, lie must of course consider the entire change of circumstances, and be sure that the laborer has due protection agaiuat avarice aud extortion. Wages had better be secured hv alien on the crops or laud. Employers are desired to enter into written agreements with emoloyees, settim* forth stated wages, or securing an interest In the land or crop, or both. All such agreements will be approved by the nearest agent, aud a duplicate filed in his office, in case there should be no agent within rem it, the nearest postmaster will forward the duplicate of con tracts direct to the Assistant Commissioner for the State. Attention is specially called to section 4 of the law establishing the Bureau, with regard to setting apart land to "every male citizen, whether refugee or freed man," *c., and the same arrangement is recommend eu when it can be effected, between private parties Already many farmers have rented lands to freedmcn and refugees. This coarse is a recognition of the gen eral prim ipaHu the law. In order to enforce the fulfillment of contracts on both contracting parties, the Commissioner of the Bu reau lays down no general rule—the Assistant Com missioner must use the privileges and authority ho already has. Provost courts, military commissions, local courts, when the freedmen and refugees have equal rights with other people, are open to his U6e. in the great majority ol cases ids own arbitrament, or that ol his agent, or the settlement by referees, wil he sufficient. No Assistant Commissioner, or agent, is authorized to tolerate (ompnlsory unpaid labor, except for the legal punishment of crime. Suffering may result to some extern, but suffering is preferred to slavery, and is to some degree the necessary consequence of events. In ail actions the officer should never forget that no substitute for slavery, like apprenticeship without proper consent, or peonage, (i. e„ either holding the people by debt, or confining them, without consent, to the laud by any system,} will be tolerated. The Assistant Commissioner will designate one or more ot his agents to qpt as the general superinten dent of schools (one for each State} for refugees and freedmen. This officer will work as much as possible iu conjunction with State officers who may have school matters in charge. If a general system can hc-adop!- ed for a State, it is well: but if not, he will at least take cognizance of all that is being done to educate refugees and freedmen, secure proper protection to schools and teachers, promote method afld efficiency, correspond with the benevolent agencies which are supplying his Held, ami aid the Assistant Commission er in making his required reports. Surgeon c. W. Horner, Chief Medical Officer of the Bureau, will have the general supervision of medical matters connected with, refugees aud freedmen. The Assistant-Commissioners will instruct their medical officers, as they have instructed other officers to make the medical department self-snuporting as far as possible. All public addresses of a character calculated to create discontent are reprehensible ; but the Assistant Commissioner and bis agents must explain, by con stant recapitulation, the principles, laws, and regula tions of this Bureau, to all parlies concerned. It is recommended to the Assistant, Commissioners to draw up in writing u careful summary to be publicly and privately read by agents throughout their respective districts. O. O.
