OHer mt the Mea- Werfc to Keeanaed k Moadar lhe Hctmui feale Quotation, Jbie. Etc ... i I) A telegram received last night announces that the workingmen't terms have at last been ac cepted by tbe operators, alter a former refusal by that body. It seems that when the refusal was made a committee was also appointed by the operators to treat with the men, or their re presentatives, In relation to a resumption. The refntal was made for obvious reasous, and the Teroniptton now takes place on the tame gene Tal terms then offered, with but very slight alterations. The lew alterations have nothing to do with tbe rates, which remain the same, hot regulate the discharges of men by employ ers, which cau be made for incompetency, bad conduct, or other good caue, but not for carry ing ont the ordeis of tbe association. This, however, Is a still farther abatement of demands by tbe men, and gives owners a con siderable more power in their ' own mines. Still it cannot tut be thonght that the operators wonld have done we.l to have adhered to tbelr announced determination of treating directly with the men though this announce ment may bave bcuu only a bilud, made for rea sons, of policy and of ignoring altogether the W. fi. A. No better thing could possibly happen to both employers and men than tbe aoulUiU-; tlon of tbe association. If straws bave any vir tue in showing which, way tbe wind blows, there is little doubt but tbat many of the men would be very thankful for Buch action. If tbe ope rators could withstand their natural desire to rebume work for a little while louger, it U more than probable tbat a bio could be struck which would be ielt to some purp xe by the organization. Trades nnions are au evil in nearly every branch of Industry, being generally ruled bv tiie blind and Iguoraut, who kuow not ho- to rule. They have always been fruitful sources of trouble, to which fact tbe historical trade guild liots of London testify. One ot tbelr great fourccs of evil is the restriction wbich they always lay upon the n timber of persons who are to be allowed to learu tbe trade, so that the market may not be overstocked and high wages rule. Our cities are now filled with criminals, rovdies, loafers, aud an army of clerks for whom no occupation can be found, while uiecbaulcs, on whom a great part of the strength ot tbe country depends, are scarce, for this state of attains tbe trades unions are largely answerable, not only by the restriction on numbers, but by the corrupt name which they give to the industries, which renders parents and their sous unwilling to have any thing to do with what would otherwise be as respectable a profession an tbe selling of goods, tbe keeping ot accouals, or any other brauch of mercantile life. As the mutter now stands in the Schuylkll oal region the operators prefer to still bear with the evil of a trade association and resume work immediately, rattier than longer riinaln idle with a possible hoim of a total overthrow of tbe njitut-ed power. Hut the terms of resump tion are equiva'erjt, as stated last week, to a total withdrawal of all the demauds upheld by the frthke. Ab we understand it, the equalization clause providing for a discount ou the earuiug of tbor-e who are able to make the best waes is still to be adhered to, tuougb it was reported that tbe W. B. A. bad rescinded the resolution Tbe rtaeon given for its passiige iu the first place is that it was intended to make the mou work regularly. How it can make t:ieui work regularly cannot be seen, when it makes those who work the hardest aud most regular, aud so obtain tbe largest amount of money, suffer with tbe heaviest discount. By the uew agreement the rates of wages are to be fixed each inontu in -accordance witn the prices of all sizes of coal above pea at Port Carbon, sworn or affirmed by five opeiaVjrs selected by the Prerideut of the Board of Trade and by tbe President of the VV. B. A. This to continue during 1870. Work is to be generally resumed next Monday, though it will take a longer time for some of the col lieries to g luto operation. The miners of tbe Lebigb Coal and Navigation Companv have at lenglb resumed work on the terms offered by the couipauy, after holding out during tbe whole year. June rates ot transportation have been re sumed by the Beading Railroad Company. Tbe same company ali-o give notice tbat no farther ebipmeuis ou the Schuylkill Oaual, now luased by tbe company, will be made at the landings of Tort Carbon and Mount Carbon. One shipping point onlv whl be maintained, bo charge will be marie for shipping expenses, and the allow ance of five ceii's per ton, heretofore made by the Schuylkill Navigation Company, will cease. Tbe pea and dust will be relaiued by the com pany. ' The following is an abstract of the monthly Scrauton sale ou last Wednesday from Sawards Circular.

On th JfmwMrt' llnfrh-Tk IUfn In Orey - vnon mre v its iim -racy IOUt ir - ' One week ago to-day-we chronicled the advent of as fine a body of citizen soldiery as ever entered our city, and likewise chronicled the fact of their leaving for Cape May for an en campment of about a week. To-day we are called upon to record their return. We had not etpected the visitors back quite so soon, but unforeseen circumstances caused a breakage of the camp. The Baltlmoreans, used to the beau ties of their own city, thought as a matter of course that they could resist tbe wiles, smiles, and winning ways of Philadelphia belles, but bow sadly they were mistaken the sequel shows. Arrived at Cape May tbe encampment was at once besieged by tbe fair sex, and the "men In grey" were attacked on all sides by shafts from black and hazel eyes. A number of Pbiladel phians wbo went to the rescue of tbelr Southern In others shared a like fate, the Northern and Southern belles baviug formed a mutual pro tective alliance. Eor seven days did the siege continue, and for seventy times eeven would it bave lasted bad not tired nature and duty to business called upon them to beat a retreat. When Colonel Herbert issued the order he found his men completely demoralized. Tbelr knap tacks were loaded with ringlets, tresses, lockets, photographs, etc., in such profusion tbat roam lor any of their original contents could not to found. One of his staff he discovered seated in his tent with about twenty pages of rose-tinted note-paper before him, upon which he was Fcrapirg away at a rate that would have aston ished lloiace Greeley. The head line "Beauti ful Helen" satisfied the Colonel tbat tbe - atmoppherle pressure of the seaside had been too much for tbe poor fellow. Many others were affected in tbe same way. Tbe beauties of our city had gore down to Capo May for a purpose, and right nobly did they accomplish it. . Their arcbery was superb, and scarce a man of tbe biave three hundred (except the Benedicts) but carries a sbalt or a shaft wound home with him, from which he will not coon lecovcr, and wbicn In ttinie cnees may need the life-long presence of one of tbe archers to heal. Seeing that every moment loet was giving ground to the enem', Colonel Herbert early this morning beat to arms,- and gathering what little of their effects to gether tbey could lay tbelr hands on, the retreat was ordered, and a forced march rnada for tbe cars which had kindly been provided for tbem hy General bewell. Scarcely had they all cot aboard ere the enemy appeared In view. Ibis time tbey waved tbelr wblte flags as tokens of peace, thinking thus to get tbe poor fellows once more in their power; but in this they were Uhpucceteful. Colonel Herbert, assuming tbe enleof a martinet, ordered the train to move on, and to tbe sorrow of all alike the scene of so much pleasure and so many conquests was soon left miles behind. THE ARRIVAL IN CAMDEN. The train arrived iu Camden at 10 40 o'clock. and tbe men speedily alighted. A delegation from tbe Mat tonal Guard in citizen s dress and several distinguished gentlemen were in waiting, and toon tbe boat was taken for tbe city. At Market street wbarf tbe 2d Keglment National Gmrds, under the command ot L.ieuteuantuoionei uar- manus Ntft, Colonel Gray and staff, and a detachment of tbe ' 8iu Regiment were drawn up to receive . the Marylanders. Ihe line being being formed the word march was given, aud the following route passed over, up Market to Eighth, thence to nace, ihetio to tue soutu west gate ot vraiiKiin Square, which the' entered and there sttcked. iiieir arms, ine Doys in grey looxed Hue Although somewhat dust-covered and bronzed bv constant expo.-ure to the sun, they all looked perfect pictures of health. THE BANQUET. From the square they were conducted to the armory of tbe Guards, Race street, below Sixth, where, after having cleaned themselvei of the dirt of travel, they sat down to a flue banquet. General Kobert Patterson presided, and made a f bort address, welcoming the Maryland men back once more to PidUdoii-hia. Colonel Herbert responded on behalf of bis men. l be men then set to witn a win, aua tne oulckly-dhappearlug viands showed plainly the effects of the sea air. Tbe tables were filled with everything in tbe way of solids and liquids tbat tbe Inner man could desire, aud oeiug adorntd here and there with flower?, preseuted an attractive appearance. The whole affair was managed by the ioitowing nnmmittea, wno ate worthv of the highest praise: Messrs. jaa'io Stein, Robert Gray, J. W. Gorgas, Gottlieb Hartune. Win, bums.

Vv hen am plu justice bad been done, the men were, at 12 o'clock, once more got inline and started for the Baltiun.ro depot passing din bixth to Wainu, tueuce to luirteeutti, thence to Lecust, wheie a marching salute was paid General Patterson, thence 1 1 Broad street, a d thence to the depot, leaving for Baltimore in a speclnl train.

The hotels are nearly all full, and the trains are constantly bringing larpe additions to the number of sojourners. ine reason promises to be the best that Atlantic has ever had, while the bathing and the re sources for the. unbounded enjoyment of ltd potrons were never equal to now. Tue grand bal masque at tbe Excursion Houe, , on Wed l esday evening next, promises to be a grand affair, and those who attend it will certainly enjoy a most delightful evening. Two express t' ains, through in 1 hours, run every Satur day at temoon, the lir-t at 2 and the other at 3 30 o'clock. The favorite Sunday train, at 8 o'clock A. M., Is also running, and offers fine facilities for those wbo can spend but a dxy at a time at the shore. Tbe weather at Atlantic is now delicious, and the sea breeze in ts clorion ministrations has been almost con stant for three weeks past. A House Struck by Lightning. During the stotm of Thuisday evening,, the dwell ing no. VM BrlnKhurst street, occupied by '! bonias West and family, was struck by lightr ning. Tbe bouse is built of lath and pla ter, nnd tbe electric current entered at tbe west side, destroying a brick cblmnay. Massing down the 1 flue to a range, it entered a room In which .were seated eight persons four adults and four chil dren. , Two of the former, Mr. West and a lady visitor, were reverely injure! aoout tbe lower li nits, the skin being burned off in some parts. The plaster lu tie vlclulty of the range was torn off, ai d flat-irons, lamps, etc., on the mvntol f-bclf were hurled across the room, while the carpet covering tbe floor .was badly ripped. The hearing of all those who were prcHent at tbe time the fluid did its work is more or less offected. The injured persons are in no danger,' aud. are recovering. 1 - rcBLic Baths.

The murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan, a wealthy peulleman of New York, the fact of wbich was publlbhed iu The Telegraph l ist evening, creates an Intense excitement. The Herald concludes its report of the tragedy as follows: Mr. Devoy stated to our ' reporter, substan tially, tbat at half-past twelve he came np to the residence 01 f rotessor Morse, wnicn is lu tbe care of himself and wife, aud to hi astou nd meut found a closed carriage standing In fr nt of tbe bouee, the horses being iu front of Mr. Natbans' stable, which is on Twenty-second street, lmmediatel7 abreast of Mr. Morse's. Seeing a mau lying in the coach and no one on the box, he approached him and asked hi in to move away, remarking that he dli not y n-h the carriage to remain in front of the houre. He received no auswer, but thinks be beard whispered conversation tuside. This aromed his suspicions, aud fearing tbat thev had det-'gns upon the residence that Professor Morse had left him to guard, ne hurriedly entered the bruse. Mrs. Devoy had been lit for some my, and this circumstance led Devoy to be ore caulbu. From his wife he learned that t e carriage drove up about half past ten aud rtmained there durlug THE FEARFtJL BTORM ' ) at raged for half an hour. Devoy took a light, si d after making a thorough search of the pre n ises from cellar 10 roof, retired to bed, but he c uld not sleep. The presence ot tbe inyste rk us carriage haunted him. and twice - he a rone ai d peered through the ivies that line the win di ws upon the suspicious carriage. The last time be arose be saw a man suddenly mount the I ox and drive rapidly away In the direction ot Broadway. This was AT HALF-PAST ONE A. M., wd. Pffoy rtlred to bed it die-red in mind. This la the substance of, hit . statement made , tn 1 writing, yesterday; to. the. Superintendent. ot 1 Police. , - - " There are various" theories entertained by police officials, but the one- most generally ac cepted is tbat the murder was committed by parties who gained access by tbe stable, th.it some of the workmen employed in th house the day 1 before' - were' 'parties' to, the foul deed, and that t a ,-' closed carriage carried away the ttnrderers. It wonld be a little singular If the trivial circum stance of Devoy's Inspection of a carriage should lead to the discovery of one of the foulest mar ders that has ever horrified a people. During the lightning Devoy saw- the face of the occu pant of the carriage, and was enabled to give a description of iu .'., - The World has the following , , , ,.4 THEORY OP THE MURDER. ' r tt is presumed, from nil the circumstances surrounding this most terrible case, ' that the murderer, entered tbe front room while Mr. Nathan was asleep, and removed - hU watch and chain . from his vest and the diamond studs from bis shirt, which were both lying on a chair near the bedside. ' He then took possession of the pocket-book of Mr. Nathan, which ws in tbe pantaloons pocket, from which he abstracted all the money. la going through the contents of the pocket-book, the thief came across tbe key of the safe, which he opened and rifled of its contents, scattering the papers, etc., all about the roooa. . A tin box containing leases, mortgages, and other papers were taken out of the safo and was being opened, when tbe noise made by tbe tblef awakened Mr, Nathan, and he sprang from the bed and, being short-sighted and tbe room dark, groped his way towards the ball room from wbich the noise proceeded. His movements evidently aroused the thief to a sense of his . danger, and as he reached the threshold of tbe room he was aj, tacked. He strcpgled desperately for life,' and evidently seized bis assailant by the throat, for his right hand was badly crushed by a terrible blow lrom tbe weapon of the murderer. The. blows on tbe head were then quickly admin istered, and tbe unfortunate man sauk lifeless to tbe floor. Ihe assassin then made his exit by tbe front door, which was left 'partly open, and was found in that condition by Mr. Wash ington Nathan. A REMARKABLE FACT. i ,i The most singular part of tbe whole aff t'r is that although four persons slept in the hono, none of tbem heard the noise which mast have been caused by the deadly struggle., This is to be accounted for (aud it adds a pathetic touch to tbe dreadful story),, by tbe fact that tbe bouse bad been built bv Mr. Nathan for a family residence, and that he had caused it to be constructed in the most pcrfeet manner. The floors were lined, the walls double, the doors fitted to their jambs like jew elry work, so as to deaden all sounds between the umerent noors. THE CORONER'S INQUEST.1 At 3 o'clock Coroner Rollins called around b)m tbe eight men whom be bad summoned as jurors to aid him in Investigating tbe marde'-, and told tbem that it was bis wish to have them organized at once and tbe inquest began. After that tbey could adjourn for a few days, to give tbe detectives an opportunity of finding some clue to the assassin, and bring forward more lt ncPFCS. As the law makes it essential that every juryman shall view tbe body before proceeding witn tue inquest, tne eight men then gathered around the mangled corpe, as it lay just where it had been stricken down, and for a moment Elleutly gazed upon the ecene. They then sol emnly walked away and assembled in the back parlor on tbe same floor. A sofa and several chairs were drawn np so that the jury, wheu Seated, formed a part of a circle, and the Coro ner's assistant sat at a table in front of them to take down the testimony. , TUB J0ROR8. The jury was composed chiefly of prominent, wealthy men, most of whom bad been neigh bors to Mr. Nathan, and well acquainted - with him. The eentlemen who served as lurvmen were Maunsell B. Field, Union , Club House, x mc avenue; G. vv. burnham, Mo. m Eighth avenue; Henry A. Horn, No. 93 Broadway; A. K. Jones, jno. ai West Twenty-third street; tl. A. Perkins, No. 153 Broadway; O. II.
