Eleven Hundred1 Men in a Hand-to-Hand Conflict-Erie Seven Hun dred Strong Collision of Lo comotivesPistols, Clubs, and Stones Used With out Stint The Albany Men Eetreat. lite, lite, lite, lite, lit Upon one of our Inside pages Is given the agreement by which the Directors of the Erie a d Susquehanna Railroad have effected a eom 1 romlse. Before this was done, however, an encounter occurred between the opposing forces. A correspondent at liini;hamto!i yes lerdny telegraphed tlie following particulars of that conflict to the N. Y. Worbl: Binghamton has been in a most extraordinary bustle all day. The bloody affray of bust night became known in the city this morning at an early hour, and caused an immense alarm and commotion, uisereei iiusiinmis suggested the removal of their families, and prudent wives thought it well to take heed, and vacated. Sun day School picnics were postponed, clergymen believing that the citizens should manifest more concern in the conllict going on so near them than to seek pleasure iu mirthful gathering. Those who believed in preparing for an xigency have oiled their rusty weapons and move about omuigcrcnt and undismayed. The juvenile population is carefully guarded in-doors by cir cumspect mothers; the hotel has been turned into a hospital for the wounded, and altogether a pervading flurry stirs the town. Last night was the crisis hour. Seven hun dred Erie men opposed four hundred Albany men, and, though once repulsed. Krie chased the Albanians from the Held. The mode of initiating the struggle was as desperate as it was novel. The Erie party made the attack about 8 o'clock last night. A train bearing about UT0 men left Ihe lower end of the tunnel, and passed through it. expecting to meet the Ramsey party at the upper end of the tunnel. The Albanians were not there, however, and as the train was round ing a curve the Albany train was seen ap proaching at great speed. A collision was inevitable unless both engines were re versed. The Erie engine whistled down breaks, but the Albany engine did not slack her speed, but with desperate precipitancy was dashing down the track. The speed of the Erie engine was increased now, and with an unealcu lating rashness the engineer determined to meet the opposing engine and confront death. The two trains came together with a terrific crash. It was now quite dark, and the shock startled every man to his feet, The head-lights, cow catcher, flag-staffs, and smoke-stacks were torn away, and the Albany engine was thrown from the track. There were about liOO men on the two trains, and with fierce yells the hard-featured, raw-boned men rushed on each other, throwing clubs, bludgeons, and all kinds of weapons with which they could deal ugly blows. Pistols were fired, gre:U uoulders of rocks were hurled, and with howling and all kinds of un earthly noises and frightful oaths the men bat tled for an hour. Finally, the Erie men retired at the command of their leader, and the Albany men followed them through the tunnel, and the Erie men rallying met the Ramsey force ou this side the tunnel, where another "battle ensued. The Albany men were beaten bad; and left Erie in possession of the field. The second affray was carried on with maddening fury most of the raiders were suflieiently filled with whisky to make them recklessly brave. A list of the wounded on the Erie side is all that has been made known. Two received pistol wounds, but are not dangerously injured. Most of the injuries are from stones and bludgeons. Tl.rt ol.-i.la .f rnnv tiro cnvnrr'U' f ivmf.ii rod Tin. men are all well cared for by the Fisk party, and are quartered iu one of the hotels here. The 44th Regiment has gone up to the tunnel to-day, and willprevent further hostilities. Governor Hoffman has ordered that all that part of the road now iu possession of the Albany party shall be under the control of Mr. Pruyu, and that part held by Erie at present shall be superintended by Mr. Pratt. The Erie party are intending to pay no regard to this order, and will not disperse their men. A load of provi sions went up to the tunnel this afternoon, and the army there was reinforced by 200 men from Elmira and Susquehanna. This morning the road, just a quarter of a mile from the city, was torn up by the Albany men, who were left on this side ou the seizure of the road. Constables, Sheriff s. and the Chief i Police were applied to by Mr. Gardner, the aent in charge of the road, to arrest the marau ders, but they all refused to do anything. Some of the Erie employes were telegraphed for from all along the road, and by their help the trac k was rehud so as to enable the train with pro vi rions to pass over. An attempt was made to burn the trestle bridge about a mile out on the Albany road, but the flames were extinguished before any serious damage was done. A part of the 44th Regiment has been stationed In the city to prevent any disturbance. An uprising of the Albany men is apprehended, as a large number of the citizens favor the Albany party here, and are Instigating a demonstration on the part of the Ramsey fac tion Men are patrolling the track from here to the tunnel. Thev are stationed a quarter of a mile apart, and have signals by which to make known any distress, 60 that the men of this end can hear at once of an attack and afford relief. 10 o'clock P. ."H. The Albanvmen have cut the wires again, about five miles from here, and the bridge is said to be on lire. A train is going to start for ,i...,,, f,.ri. The obiect of the Albany men, who are about the city, is to cut oil the intercourse of the Erie party with their sup porters here, and thus surround them and make a capture. AWIonal I)etllils. It is impossible to make a complete list of the wounded. Two of the Erie men received pistol shot wounds. One, Charles truest of Susque hanna, was shot through the hand; the other was shot in the leg. The lol owing were lu inrcd. some of them severely; John HuHot, o Kuebanna, skull probably fractured; Edward Hcrmld, of Susquehanna, struck with a heay dub on the head' George Co grove, of Susque hanna, injured on the head: William Bolger, hurt in the Lreast; John Smith, clubbed; John BlimwonT conductor, struck by stones on the heXnd side.

Lemus, Cuban Envoy to our Gov ernment, telegraphs to the Junta in New York, that the remit of the last Cabinet meeting so far as the Cuban question is concerned, must be accepted as favorable to his cause. He states that there is no occasion to entertain apprehen sion that our Government will be induced to allow the departure of the Spanish gunboats being built here. He is said to have telegraphed further that two members of the Cabinet now warmly advocate recognition, who, but a short time since, were inflexibly opposed to recogni tion of Cuba as an Independent people or as belligerents. The C'nptnre of If olK"in. The Cuban authorities in New York have re ceived continuation of the report of the taking of llolguin. '' lie olllcial report communicating this informa tion says that as soon as Gibara, the seaport of llolguin, is taken, President Ccspcdes will estab lish his government at llolguin. The two places arc distant twenty-live miles from eaeli other. The bridge reported destroyed on the Nucvitas anil Puerto Principe Railroad is live leagues from Nucvitas, is of stone, and had three abut ments. With no enemy to prevent, this road would be delayed two months or more by the destruction of "this bridge. The Ciibfinn on the Simnluli Revolution. Hints have been, from time to time, thrown out relative to an understanding which is said to have taken place between the leaders of the present government party in Spain and the Cuban revolutionists, lint certain facts have lately come to light which present the matter in a more definite lorni. Previous to the revolution of September the exiled generals told one or two leading Cubans, then in Spain, that they were going to make a revolutionary attempt, and asked to know what the Cubans would do in the premises. To this it was answered that they would aid as far as they could ; and after certain con ferences and some delay (pending which a commission arrived from "Cuba), itwas agreed that the Cuban patriots, through the Junta at Havana, should pay whatever expenses might accrue in the district of Cadiz, but only upon the express condition that autonomy was, in case of success, to be immediately conceded to Cuba. The understanding was thorough, and Uiiaeta, Modet, and two other, colonels in the Spanish army in Cuba, were let into the secret, and were to "have aided in carrying out the pro gramme. It was further understood that, in case the Cadiz movement should fail, the generals would take a part of their squad ron, sail over to Havana, and, proclaiming autonomy, fight out the question with the Cu bans. The movement succeeded, as every one knows; the Cuban Junta sent over 500,000 (the estimate of expenses incurred at Cadiz), which was paid over to Count Brunei, and afterwards disbursed. Serrano, Prim, and Topete, how ever, failed in their promises. It has been stated, and perhaps it is true, that certain leading Cubans, who were not sure of success in the Cuban movement, wrote over to Dulce to hasten his coining to the island, because they believed that he would carry out the understanding referred to, which would, as they thought, have ended the war. The IVrnniide I'o Exiles. The Tribune of this morning says: The three Fernando Po exiles are still in the city. They are not much troubled with visitors, as their place of abode is not generally known. They are, of course, highly elated at meeting with their countrymen once more ou free Ame rican soil, and feel it dillicult to entirely com prehend the situation. They say the volunteers who guarded them ou their passage treated tliem very roughly, and were uot sparing iu threats mil atmse, anil sometimes even in blows, ineir food thev purchased at a most exorbitant rate, paying as high as 10 in gold for cheeses worth about ifl apiece in Havana, iney werer days on the passage, and on their arrival at Fernando l o tliey were released., witu orders uot to leave the colony. .Many of the prisoners had very little money, and to such the Spanish authori ties issued lor a day s ration a small piece ot bacon and a little rice in an uncooked state. Those who had money assisted those who had none, the gentlemen at present in JNew lorlv boarded with twelve others in a miserable place called a "hotel," and paid "war prices for every thing. The rest of the prisoners rented wooden shanties, and messed together. At the time the exiles now in New York left the colony, many other prisoners had strong hopes of soon effect ing their escape. Jt appears that many ot the ntlemen arrested had really done nothing that would justify their arrest, but all are now, very naturally, nearly sympatm.ers witu tne cause for which they have suffered. Kvnn lo Return to New York. Major A. T. S. Anderson, returned from Canada, called on President Grunt and Secretary Fish at West Point, lie presented letters from Colonels Ryan and Currier, asking permission to return to tne Lnitetl states, itie President ana Mr. Fish said that there was nothing.to prevent their coming except Colouel Ryan's personal assault on the Deputy Uulted States Marshal, and that if the Colonel could arrange the affair with tho Marshal, everything preventing his re turn would be removed. Major Anderson came to this city and called upon Marshal Barlow on Tuesday morning, and was assured that he (the Marshal) had no ill-will towards Colouel Ryan, nut, on me contrary, ukcu mm, auu mat n ine President would approve of it he would allow Colouel Ryan to return. On receiving these assurances, Major Anderson telegraphed Colonel Ryan to come Home. lVrsoiut 1 i f ies. Train is salmon-fishing in Columbia river. Kennedy is singing his Scotch ballads in Chicago.

The intention is to settle a colony in the pine region of the State, to invest the capital in land and machinery, and to manufacture tar, ship pitch, "beer pitch." and turpentine from pine, and pyroligneous acid and tannin from oak. No shareholder can own more than twenty-five shares, as the design is to make the company co-operative, and to identify every laborer with it. The success of this company will lead to the establishment ot others ou the same or a similar plan. The Onciilii ( iiriiiiniiiity. Says Mr. Noyes. in the Circular: "We re ceived a call tliis week from the veteran socialist, M. Victor Coiisidcrant. He called ou us sixteen vears ago. before starting his experiment in Texas. He is now returning to Europe, and wished to see our growtli before leaving Ame rica. The mansion house and the 'old mill' were almost the only remnants of the place of his recollections. "Why,' said he, "when I visited von before, you were rustics and lived poorly, but now you have become princes and live in palaces.' At the time of his former visit Mr. Newhouse made traps in a little room atone end of our old country blacksmith shop, and they were scarcely known outside the Oneida valley. Now they are seen iu every frontier town from the Saguenay to Fra.er's river. Mr. Considcrantis probably the purest representative alive of Fourier's ideas." A -rmnn Custom. A letter from Weimar says they have two very pretty customs there connected with the erec tiou of houses. One is that a young child always drives the first nail into one of the timbers, and an Inscription is made upon the wood, bearing the name and age of the child, date of erection, etc. Then, when the house is raised, a few planks are laid for liooring in an upper story, when the master builder, his workmen, and all well-disposed friends assemble to sing a song of praise to God for the safe accomplishment thus far of their undertaking. Then a band of music plays, numerous bottles of wine are drunk, and there are speeches, toasts, and huzzas from sten torian German throats. CnllnpMcd. We have been informed, on good authority, that Mr. Joseph Nickerson, the principal creditor of the German Ocean Steamship Company, has reduced his first offer of 050,000 for the boats Erie and Ontario to 550,000. The natural query is, why did the company refuse to take the bid made at auction? If the directors think that the public have lost sight of the matter, they are mistaken. It is now two years since the Ontario was ready for her first voyage; the Erie has never left her dock. A year and a half ago the Ontario made her last trip from Boston. A million and a half of capi tal is lying idle all this time, and not the first approach to a good reason given for such man ogement. It would be well to have the speeches (leiivereit at tne launching ot the Ontario re peated, and contrast the difference between now and then. Boston Traveller. DrownliiK their Offspring. A Mr. Anderson, a Swede, of Louisville, Scott county, Minnesota, has two daughters, one of the age of fifteen years, and the other eighteen, each of whom became a mother, one on the 14th of June, and one ou the 22d of July last. The young girls were both single, and so managed to conceal their condition that even their mother did uot suspect them. Each in her turn retired alone a short distance from their residence, where the birth took place, and each one, upon becoming a mother, deliberately threw her child in the Minnesota river, one of which lias been since found, after having been in the water some three or four days. The mother of the child found is understood to have confessed that before throwing her child into the river she strangled it to death. The heartless and inhu man young mothers are in the hands of the law. 7. 1'ani J'ress, 1th. A Democratic .HonlieT. As John Addilla, an itinerant street musician, was catering to the musical tastes of a crowd of youngsters yesterday morning, ou West Balti more street, with a hand-organ, a colored boy u-iuied Charles Guy ton attempted to enhance the amusement by catching Addilla's monkey by his caudal appendage and roughly twisting it. Jocko Hot relishiug such famillarit', turned upon his tormcnter and bit him upon the left baud. Charles yelled terribly, and caused the arrest of the monkey and his master. Justice Bride re ferred the matter to the Criminal Court. Addilla, previous to being disposed of by Justice Bride, was, with tiie monkey, locked up in the Westeru Police Station, and during that time several colored persons were brought in for beiug dis orderly, and as they passed the room where Jocko was confined he sprang at them, and squealed terribly when he discovered that an iron grating prevented him from getting at his prey. Baltimore American, 10th. Lowell .Xuiiiif'iii'tiircti. In 1859 the capital stock of manufacturing corporations in Lowell, Mass., was 13.000,000; number of spindles, o'.!ll,0t4; hands employed, 13,!i00; week's work cotton cloth, 2,304,000 yards; woollen cloth, 44,0U0yards; carpets, 25,000 yards. In 1800 Die capital stock of the corporations was 13,050,000; number of spindles, 457,512; hands employed; 13,717; week's work cotton cloth, 2,328,000; woollen cloth, 10,500; carpets, 35,000; shawls, 2500; hosiery, 0000 dozen. This shows that the number of persons employed has not increased in a degree corresponding with the increase of the spindles. This is attributable to the great improvements which have been made In machinery and all eJe pertaining to the manufacture of textile fabrics. S ECOND ED ITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

CoLi'Mitrs, Aug. 12 The Democratic State Central Committee met yesterday, all the dis tricts being represented by their committee men or by proxies. It was found the majority of the committee were earnestly in favor of taking the responsibility of making a nomination, with Pendleton as their first choice. A despatch was sent to Pendleton, asking him if he would be their candidate. He answered that he did not want the position, and would prefer its being given to some one else. This did not suit, and the committee took a recess, during which time despatches tlew to and from Cincinnati rapidly. At last, Johu G. Thomp son took his scat at one of the tables in the telegraph office, and stated the situation at length to Mr. Pendleton, who was in the tele graph office at Cincinnati. When the committee again met they unani mously nominated Pendleton, and then sent despatches to the absent members asking an endorsement of their action. The endorsement was received and Pendleton informed of the fact, lie answered that, under the circum stances, he would accept the nomination, but it was contrary to Lis wishes. The Democrats here feel jubilant over the nomination, and promise to do good work. At 8 o'clock last night a large number assembled at the west front ot the State House, to ratify the nomination of George H. Pendleton for Gov ernor. The meeting was called to order by John G.

Chief Knglneer Downey testilied that on the night of the destruction of Patterson's warehouse he found the prisoner on the roof of an adjoining house, No. 40s s. Front street, and as there was no necessity whatever for any one to lie there, the house being In no danger, he concluded ii is purpose was thelt, and therefore arrested him. In the case of .Tames Williams, charged with the larceny of goodsffroni Mr. Golze, at No. 815 Walnut street," before reported, the jury rendered a verdict of guiitv. The remainder of the morning session was taken up with the trial of Thomas II. Hidgely upon the charges of larceny and assault and battery, with In tent to outrage. He was employed in Lob's drug store, at Front and Tasker streets where Hannah Vanzandt lived in the capacity olIr. Lob's house keeper. It was alleged that on last Friday morning, about 9 o'clock, lie went into the dwelling part of the premises where Bhe was en gaged at ironing, and made indecent advances to her, which she repelled. He then went into the store, and she, peeping through a keyhole, saw him take money from the cash drawer and put it Into his pocket, in a few moments he returned and seized her; she struggled and threw him to the Moor and ran to the frontdoor; he desisted from fuo ther attempts, but threatened her with violence If she said anything of it to others; she did, however, divulge the wholcjail'air to Mr. Lob at the first oppor tunity, and the prisoner was ordered to leave the place. The case Is unlit for a more detailed publica tion, and at the close of our report was still on trial. In the case of John liower, who was convicted last week of receiving stolen goods, the Court granted a new trial upon the ground that the name of the owner of the property as proven by the evidence was not the same as that mentioned in the indict ment.

The grain operators are great absorbents of cur rency at the present time, and for some weeks to ceme there is little probability of any falling oir In the demand, whilst an increased activity in the ship ments to Europe, which now appears highly proba ble, would have the eilect of materially stliienlng the money market.

As yet the sums called for havejbeen too Incouside table to exert any inilueuce upon the market here, and with the heavy disbursements of the Treasury for the next two weeks on account of bonds pur chased, are unlikely to be lelt for some time.
