The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne &c Chi
caro- Railroad Cases.

TFrom the Pittsburgh Chronicle, 19th-1
Our readers will remember that In last Au-
gust very grave charges were made against SIX
Of the conductors Of the passenger trains on
road, TINT they had, By cunning system OF
knavery, succeeded in cmbezzling from the
Company very large su1nE Of money. Follow
ing the disclosures the conductors we're dis
missed from the employ Of the road, and
fhaTge5 Tsre Prele5red II t1s Criminal G9art' @
u October, the frst Of the cases, that against
Mr.. ". Sherburn, came up before the Grand
Jury, and from an utter want Of evidence
against the accused, the bill was ignored.
Shortly afserward, BY order Of John Il. Hamp-
ton, Esq, counsel for the Company, the Re-.
mainder Of the bills were withdra*n-an Of
them resting On the same foundation Is the
FIRST which had been ignored The remainder
of the charges were against Messrs. George ].
jenkins, A. E. Leavitt, Vim. Hoover, Thomas
Fry and ". F. Ross.
These gentlemen renewed their bail bonds
before Jndge Mcclure, and awaited the further
action Of the Company. Nothing, however,
| was done. and this morning the natter was
called up by Thomas Marshall and F. e: Col

Mellon, after bearing their argument an ana mo

maintain them. This termination OF mos'
unpleasant affair will give universal sasislac
ton, not unIn{ngled, however, with regret tha,
such damaging and unfounded charges shoult
have been made against gentlemcn who's
characters for honesty and integrity had ncve
before been questioned, and now stsnd IN
blemished again It will be borne In mint

charges will be very justly prelndiciaI to thei

convince people generally that the detectiv
system is bad, bad from beginning to end.

Editors of the Press:-In Gen. Pope's OF
fetal report of the battle of Culpepper pub
lshed in your Geographic columns yesterday,
you make him say
'The artillery fire at night by the I'd and
9Th marine batteries, was most destructive, as
was readily observable the next morning by
the dead horses and broken carriages of the
enemy's battery which had advanced against
them"
Instead, it should read" The artillery fire
&c. / make this correction as these gallant
and efficient batteries have many friends all
over the State, who will be glad to see them
so honorably mentioned.
The writer received yesterday brief note,
written hastily with pencil, from one of the
officers of the I'd Battery, some extracts from
which are annexed. In.
Battlefield near Rdpiddn Rirer,
Monday, Aug. IL, 1852.
Dear -: On Saturday we fought the
enemy near this place. We fell back short
distance for better position.
Our loss is not known as yet great many
wounded are going to the rear. Saturday
night between eleven and twelve o'clock, the
enemy brought battery within six hundred
yards of our position and swept through our
lines. Our Battery was in the front and the
grape passed through our ranks. We replied.
Our Battery was one sheet of fame for some
time. Without infantry to support us we
stood our ground until we sienced the rebel
guns. We remained on the field all night, all
day Sunday, and are here yet, expecting an
attack.
The enemy is reported in strong force We
have also large force and are ready. Our
Battery occupies the right and is in the ex-
IRENE front.
General Mcdowell compmented u.s. We
are expected to fight well in the coming battle.
We wiu. Maine shall not be ashamed of u.s.
Up to this time only two men are wounded in
the I'd Battery. Can write no more at pres

Our Sick and Wounded at II. /.

Yesterday we gave large portion ola COM
munication from Mr.. Davis, the State Agent of
the Sanitary Commission, in relation to the
condition of our sick and wounded soldiers at
Portsmouth Grove Hospital. Reports had
been industriously circulated by letter writers
and others, calculated to impress the public
mind with the idea Of great suffering and dep
rivation there, and that humanity was being
outraged in the treatment meeted out to our
unfortunate soldiers. 1t was to ascertain the
facts in relation to just such an impression
that Mr. Davis was required to 60 there, and
make careful, thorough and minute personal
examinations, that the exact condition of things
might be known and acted upon. Mr.. Davis
found that all the unpleasant reports had
sprung from a condition of things which no
longer has existence. When the soldiers, sick
and wounded, were first landed, there was
lack of comfortable accommodations, and there
was an inefiiciency In those whose duty il was
to make the needful representation to and
draft upon the government, to secure the com
forts and accommodations needed. But that
efficiency did not long continue, for the inef-
fcient officer was superseded by one of energy
and promptness, and under his administration,
as though by magic, has grown up an entirely
changed order of things.
We feel authorized to say to all those who
have friends at the hospital referred to, that
they may safely dismiss all concern for their
careful treatment and regard. Everything is
now provided that the situation of the sick and
wounded require. Nothing is denied them but
such things as would be fortheir injury. They
are much better of, better provided for, have
more careful treatment, and more skillful sur
gical and medical aid, than would be possible
in hundreds of cases, were they scattered over
the country at their own homes. As they be-
come fitted for duty they return to the camp,
and nothing is being omitted to recover the
disabled, and to render the hopelessly i'll as
comfortable as kindness and proper treatment
can make them.
