During our . absence In. I'liila51pliia, two
weeks lince. Our local editor notlcod an
illiberal And ungeiitlemAn?; article in tbe
Democrat, in relation to tbe miscarriage of
our package for Northumberland. Tbe re
ply to that article, though explicit, vraa, in
its tone and temper, courteous and rospect
fol, and would bare been received in tbe
atne oplrit by any one capable of apprecia
ting tbe am enitiet and courtesies tbat necct
aaiily exist among men of intelligence and
good breeding. But tbe fellows who now
run tbat concern never made any pretense
to any such qualifications and we are not
disposed to bold them responsible for tbat
which nature and the want of proper
culture baa denied them. Their rejoinder
was just what might have been expected,
and perfectly in character with tbe tone and
temper of a sheet tbat causes intelligent
democrats to blush when bound to recognize
It as the organ of tbeir party.

Journal of tbe 30th Inst I
An explosion of fire damp attended by a
sad loss of life, took place at the "Pioneer"
Colliery, Bancroft, Lftris & Co., near Ash
land, on Friday sight, April 12th, at 8)
o'clock. It appeara that at tbat hour two
boys and a. laborer la the gangway, were
going out with a trip of wagona. When
about one Hundred and titty yards irora toe
race or tbo alopo tuey felt tbe shock oi a
light explosion. This was Immediately fol
lowed by a beavy explosion which knocked
tbem down. They arose, Tan out and In
formed Mr. Mr. Eltringham, tbe Superinten
dent of tbe Colliery, cf the explosion. He
got some men and went down into tne mm.
They found all tbe batteries blows out, and
that it was verj dangerous to do anything.
Thnv not tin tcmnorarv canvass batteriea and
r. -r :r-- - . .
thus endeavored to get to me miners wuu
wira In at the time of tbo explosion. While
making the attempt they heard a cry and
stopped to listen. The cry Was repeated,
but fainter. ' Supposing tne uniorrunaie men
in Iw in there and all alive, tbey stopped
work and went in at the risk of tbeir lives
tn rescue them. Tbcv found a miner named
John Kennv. alive but frantic from pain.
Thev eot him out. and seeing tne rcsc lying
there dead they went in again and brought
all out but two. Harrison Huddert and
Michael Snellman. who were in the air-
course and could not be got at, Tbe bodies
of the nine men recovered were brought up
about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning. 1 tie
Aa tbe editor of tbe Gatettt, with bis
usual magnanimity, forgetting the personal other two were not brought out until 2,
laudations of himeelf in the Democrat, has r. ., or. tne same any
seen fit to act in concert with the editor
in this smalt business, it may be proper to
explain why it is that our Northumberland
pack is not as large as it was several years
since.
A few years ago, it will be remembered,
quite s spirit of rivalry existed between
Sunbury and Northumberland, growing out
of tbe removal of tbe Bank, and tbe Iocs
tion of the Machine Shops. Tbe editor of
this paper was more than suspected of bo
ing an active and open supporter of the
interests of Sunbury. From that period our
package for Northumberland began to "grow
small by degrees, and beautifully less"
while that of our neighbor of tbe OatctU
was proportionally enlarged. The inference
nay be readily drawn by the dullest Intel
ect. But, as we profess to be independent
,nd fed nnder no obligations, for special
avors, to any one, we never complained.
ret we do not think it entirely magnoni
ions on tbe part of tbe Gazette to exult
ver what was designed as a benefit to
lemselvcs and a punishment for us, while
taping tbe reward of their prudential course
that exciting controversy.
The New Rail Koad. The con
cnplated new rail road, from this place to
ilkesbarre, by way of Danville, is an im
ovement of tbe utmost importance. A
rps of able engineers, nnder Col. F. C,
nis.of this place, late of tbe Northern Cen
1 Railway, commenced a survey of tbe
te, from this place, on Monday last.
is road, we presume, is intended to con
t with the Delaware, Lackawanna &
stern road, In Luzerne county, and with
Northern Central, at this place, and will
constructed to developo tbe extensive
i lands through which it passes, as it
be tbe shortest route between New
k, Pittsburg and tbe Lakes between
commercial centres of tbe Atlantic and
great West, which will soon make it tbe
l route between tbe East and tbe
t.

The names of the
dead are, James Mather, James Hood, Geo
Ross. Harrison Mudriert, Micbeal Spellman,
Thomas Stanton, John Docan, Edward Hop
kins. Thomas Eltringham. Thomas Welsn
and Joseph Shetzly the two last being
boys. They were all more or less mutilated,
but taose tn tne air-courses seemed to nave
been smothered as they were not burnt much
The appearances show that the men in the
gangway were about getting tbeir supper.
The only men who came out alive, were
John Kenny, the two drivers and tbe laborer
who was on bis way out to a sate place witu
some lamps to be lighted, iieuny is recov
ering. Ross and Spellman were single men,
The others with the exception of tbe two
boys and probably, Dolan and Hopkins,
wero married and leave large tamiues in
destitute circumstances. . Tbey were all ex
eel lent miners and reliable, worthy men,
With the exception of James Mather, all
were under 40 years of age.
From what we can learn we incline to Hie
opinion that tbe accident was the result o
carelessness, as tne ran never stopped, and tne
men who came up from tbe previous shift,
said that at tbat time there was as good air
as ever was seen, but tbat there were large
quantities of fire damp coming down on the
gangway from tho breasts, and tbat it had
been tailing all tbat day. Tbe place uas
not been thoroughly explored lince the ex-
piosiua. r ive suieiy lamps uuve ueen iuuhu
in the gangway, all of them closed and in
good order. Henoe it ia thought that tbe
gas was fired in an air-bole and from there
communicated to the gangway. It is antici
pated that when the air-hole can be reached,
an open lamp will be found. If this should
be tbe case tbe cause of tbe terrible occur
rence will at once of course, be made clear.
James Mather, one of the miners killed by
this explosion, was an Englishman, and s
member of the Pottsville Cricket Club with
which he played on several occasions iu tbeir
matches in this Borough and at Philadel
phia, with tho Young America and other
c'.abf . - He was a fine player, although some
what advanced in years, and a general favor
ite with all for his worth aa a man and his
gentlemanly qualities as a cricketer. He
leaves a large family, all of them cirls, :n
straightened circumstances, and we are
pleased to learn tbat tne Club is subscribing
a fund for presentation to tbem. Tho ex
plosion also killed bis son-in-law, James
Hood, leaving one of Mr. Mather's daugh
ters to mourn the loss ot both father and
husband.
We understand tbat as all of tho families
of the unfortunate miners are left in desti
tute circumstances, collections for tbeir re
lief will be taken up in all of the churches
of Ashland to-morrow, and that it is desired
that the churches of Pottsville will take up
collections to-morrow for the same benevo
lent object. We should be gratified to be.
able to record the fact in our next tbat all
tbe congregations in this Borough had acted
upon tne suggestion.

San Francisco, April 17. The reported

without a battle, and tbe rumors that tbe
Liberal forces were in part defeated, and
were Buffering from s lock of aupplies, are
all directly contradicted. The report of
revolution, beaded by iiercra, in Kan luis

stated, this petty revolution contemplated
a scheme ot plunder, and in tbo event ot
success would have made tue American

THE WAR FIXRHV Kl -ROPE.
It seems to be somewhat difficult to un
derstand the precise atatus of tbe Lux
embourg question. We . have accounts
stating distinctly tbat the treaty for the
transfer of the Ducby from Holland to France
bas actually taken place, subject however
to two conditions, 1st tbat it shall be ap
proved by the people of Luxemburg ; 2d
tbat it shall meet the consent of Prussia. It
such be tbe case France can have no cause
of war in tbe event of the two remaininir
ratifying parties, or either of them, refusing
to do so. On the other band we have an
official assurance from the Hague tbat the
sale bas not been effectual and will not be
without the consent of the great powers,
and especially the consent of Prussia. In
this state of the ease it is absurd for France
to get angry aud make preparations for war,
&c. Dut we refer more in detail to the
question ns it would appear to stand.
A nerlin telegram of tbe 4tb of April
says : "Intelligence received here from tbe
Hague announces tbat tbo Dutch Govern
ment has officially informed the Prussian
Cabinet that the sale of Luxembourg has
not yet been effected, and will not be carried
out without tbe consent of Prussia."
The London Timet says it is a dissrrace to
rrencn statesmen tnat tue Luxembourg
scheme should ever have been entertained.
France will show her deference for Europeau
opinion by abandoning this' ill-omened ne
gotiation, which would not only units all
Germany against ber, but break off the le
ttmate friendship which prevails between
ner ana otner European rowers.
a i-ans telegram or tbe 5th April says
"1 lie J rencb Government has still under
consideration the question of tbe cession of
Luxembourg to France. It cousidcrs that
the engagements entered iuto by the King
ui iiuiiuuu are too umaing tor turn to with
draw without the consent of France."
Lord Stanley, in giving some explanations
in the House of Commons, said "tbat the
consent or tbe Kin of Holland was from
tbe first made conditional opon that of tbe
peopia oi ivaxemoourg ana also upon tbe
conseot of Prussia. What tbe feeling of
tbs people or Luxembourg might be, he
would not undertake to say, but lie stronsly
doubted whether the consent nf Prussia
would be given, and if these conditions were
not fulfilled, tho transaction Would fall to
tbe ground. He had returned s rerdv to
that effect to Prussia, and he had sines
learned, from the official representatives of

a council held at Fort Larncd on the 12th
instant, between General Hancock and fir
teen Cheyenne chiefs.
Tbe council amounted to nothinir : only a
part or tue chiera or tbe tribe was in attend
ance, and those present gave but an equivo
cal reply to Uen. Hancock s speech to tbem,
I ue next clay General Hancock moved to
ward the Cheyenne camps, and wben about
half way was met by over three hundred
chiefs and warriors, who professed peace;
but that night the whole tribe abandoned
village, leaving tbeir wigwams, but taking
everything ol value. General Custer s conv

JJTTnB Coal Tbadk. The Pottsville
ilinert" Journal ol last Saturday, says : Tbe
quantity sent by Railroad thia week Is C2,
175 11 tons; by Canal, 35,819 10; for tbe
week 87,093 01 against 114,859 tons for tbe
corresponding wsek last year. -
The trade continues dull. At many of
the collieries tbs men are standing out for
higher wages. Tbs truth is that wages for
laborers particslarly srs too low st the col
lieries, snd tbey can scarcely live st present
prices of provisions, but it is well known
tbat ths pries of coal has fallen more tban
any other commodity in tbe market, snd
even st present wages tbs operators can
scarcely save themselves from less.
We have jnst learned that the collieries are
nearly all standing idle st Locoat Gap snd
in the Bhar.okio region in consequence of
turcouis. ns Dave not learned net ner
ths collieries in tbe Lehigh region are In
operation yet or sot. Several were to atart
tail week. From present appearances the
supply of eoal from this region this year
will sot he increased, but may be consider
ably diminished, unless s better demand
springs up than at present MsT.y of tbe
collieries were "robbed" last jssv snd searee-
ly sny preparations mads for working tfaks
year, which will also tend to diminish thu
quantity. .
