iMi FRU. EDENSOURC, PA., Friilay .Morning, - - July 27, 1877. The Great Hail lload Strike, It is impossible for us to publish a full and detailed account of tbe late widely ex tended railroad strike resulting in a fearful loss of life at Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and the destruction in the latter named city of several millions of dollars' worth of troops being obliged to make their escape , at the side of the buildiinr. It is said that none or the stn keis were engaged in burning the cais, but that it was done by the thieves and outlaws who were in quest of plunder, of which they seemed an Democratic County 'JL'icket.

CORONER : .TAMES JIORELAND, of Wilmore P.or. i j The meeting of the Democratic State Convention has been postponed from the i):h to the 22d of August. - -m The statement made by the Pittsburgh Pout in its issue Of last Friday, that a com munication in the Cambria Freeman was scattered among delegates to the county convention wiili a view to weaken the fotce of instructions by the Democracy of this county, is, as the Fiench say, conspicuous ly inexact. Our answer to the Post is that the county convention was held on Mon day, the 9th of July, and the communica tion to which it lefeis, appeared in the Freeman on Friday, the 13th four (lays vf tendinis. The Republican State Committee has postponed the time fixed for the meeting f the State Convention, the 20th of An- ' ish work of a set of outlaws and incendia- gust, to the 5th of September. The change j is made because a member of the delegates j to the convention wish toSfttend a triennial j conclave of Knights Templar at. Cleveland j on the day originally appointed for holding I the convention. It thus seems that the j State Committee regards the meeting of j refused to go out on fi eight ti ains, or per tne Knights at Cleveland as of more im- mit' others to do so.

It is onlv necessary to ..- r j- -state that the cause of all the trouble has been the reduction of wages, the rail road companies alleging that the general stag nation of business compelled them to red ace expenses in this way, while the operatives declare that longer submission would re duce them and their fami.ies to a state of starvation. This is not the time to discuss the merits of the dispute between the rail road corporations and their employes, but it may be safely stated that at the outset of thfi trouble nonular sympathy was on the side of the latter.

This is a country of law and the supremacy of the law must be maintained at all hazards, and wi h all the power both of the National and State governments, no matter who may sutler. In this connection it may be stated that so far as the burning of the buildings and rail road cars of the company at Pitts burgh were concerned, it does not appear that the strikers aie justly responsible for the fearful havoc, it having been the liend- immber. struck ift the morning. between Rochester and Buffalo is entirely shopped, and there was rioting in Buffalo during the day.

Al though Mr. Tilden will not be invited to dine with Queen Victoria, nor be feted by the titled iiobHity of England, no American will have cam-e to be ashamed of anything he may say, or of anything he may do Wherever he goes he will bear himself like tbe true gentleman he is. In one respect he will be a more rematkablc object of cu riosity than any foreign king, teutatc, or sovereign who has ever visited England. He will attract marked attention from the fact that he is tne only man who was ever elects President of tho United Statesbya clear and tindisptwed mnjority of the votes the American people, hut irfio tru not inaugurated a President by riyiit, but not a President in fart. "Who sb-.ill be Chairman of the State Committee?" is a question that ?as of late been somewhat discussed by a few Demo cratic papers. Thoie are a great many persons wiio labor inder the singular de lusion that a ( hail man of the State Com- ! mittec is omnipotent, and (hat he can, if lie will, "organize victoiy," as it is flip pantly teimet'. This is a fatal mistake, and although it is always necessary that thete should be a Chairman of the Com mittee, we have never reposed in him the same unlimited eoiifidrr.ee of boiiior nlili to r it .i . i julant General Latta ordeied General rerfarm po.Uical w mdeis ns others expect J,.eaison, f ,ittshm,. commilnder of II e from and chum Tor him.

It was ' lence was committed during that day, al ii ot hi fault, however, but simply because j though the situation hourly grew more se- fro.n tho then relative strengh of the two I "ou.- ;z 1 CI"CK " r inlay morning. ordered a regiment of State troops, under Gen. Herbert, to proceed to that place and ixsued a proclamation commanding the . rioters to disperse, pn their way to the depot the soldiers were followed by an im- ' mense crowd, shouting and yelling, throw ing stones aud occasionally tiring pistols at them. The troops at last fired on the mob, killing eight men and boys and wounding forty others. The depot was then fired, but was soon extinguished, and the troops at a late hour started for Cumberland. Addi i tion.il United States troops, amounting to between one and two thousand, were sent . to Baltimore on Saturday, and Major Gen- cral Hancock arrived there on Sunday to : direct any militaiy movements that might ! become necessary. All was quiet in that j city on Tuesday and also along the line of : the road, but no freight trains were run ! ning. We have thus stated in a general : way what occurred at Baltimore and along I the line of the Baltimoie and Ohio rail road. On Thursday morning (yesterday week) the strike began at Pittsburch and no ' freight trains were allowed by the strikers 1 to pass the outer depot, either east or nest, j while all the cattle trains bound east were I stopped at the East Liberty"stook-yards. I Large and excited meetings of the strikers and their sympathizers were held dining the day and night and intense excitement prevailed throughout the city. It must be here S'atcd that a new railroad order went into effect on that morning, requiring that a double train wiih two engines and thirty six cars be taken out with one crew to Al toona, a distance of 116 miles, in one day. i instead of to Deny, only 48 miles, which before that was considered a day's woik. Against this new rule the train hands re belled. On Friday morning Sheriff Fife, of Alio gheny county, telegraphed Governor Hart ran ft requesting him to call out the tnilita ly to suppress the strike. The Governor being absent on his way to California, Ad- patties Democr-'tlic success was impossible. Since Mr. Wallace's lalxns as Chairman leased the Democracy of the State have achieved victoiy just once, in 1871, and th.v. was owing entirely to Republican dis affection in the single county of Allegheny, and to no other cause. That disaffection ejected the Democratic State ticket, seciy cd a majority on joi.it ballot it. the Legisla 1 m e, and sent 31r. Wallace to he United States Senate. A fter all is said, a thorough and efficient party organization depends infinitely inie ou the Chtirmen of tho re spective County Committees than ou tho Chairmnm of the State Committee. For many obvious reasons the laboring oar in a campaign must necessarily be with the Chaiitnen of tho County Committees, aud if they are inefficient and fail to perform t'teir entire duty, defeat wi'l inevitably follow. They arc the power through which to "orgrnize victoiy," if that is possible. Frequent, much less annual, changes in the chairmanship of either State or County Committees arc not desirable unless abso lutely necessary. Mr. Tilden acted as Chairman of the New Yoik State Committee- as long as he consented to do so, and n Democrat in Ohio ever dieams of sttji planting John G. Thompson, the veteran Chftiiman of tho Committee in that State. We do not know whether Capt. McClelland, the present Chairman of the Democratic Committee of this State, 'desires a re el ot inn or mt. He has held the position only for n single year aud unless there are gn-d and subsfantial reasons for stifieroed ing hiM it wnnln I unwise to put a new a"od Hi)liied man in his place. This, how- er, -is h 'ueKHon t senieo ny ine ound judgment of the State Convention. Sheriff Fife, at the request of the rail road officials, had gone out to disperse the mob, but failed to do so. Twoaddditional regi ments were ordeied from Philadelphia and reached Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. In the meantime eleven warrants had been obtained from the Court for the arrest of the ring leaders of the st rike and placed in the Sheriff's hands to be executed. Up to the time of the ar rival of the troops the stiikers showed l hat while they were determined to remain firm, they had no desire to lesoi t to riot and bloodshed. Aimed 5 o'clock the Phil adelphia troops, between 800 and !)0 stmng, marched from the Union depot to the outer depot to disperse the crowd, estima ted at many thousands, only a fraction of whom were strikers. Mr. Pucairn, Sup't of the Western division, and Sheriff Fife, with a posse of nlicemcn and other offi cers, accompanied the troops. Tho order being given, the troops charged on the crowd then a volley of stones was thrown at the troops from tho hillside, when tho older to flic was heard. Who gave it is not km wn, but it was obeyed, and the mus ketry of the soldiers was answered by the revolvers oi tne crowd. About 40, in cluding men, women and children, were killed, and at least 80 wounded. Several soldiers were also killed and many wound ed. The strikers and the crowd then fled, the soldiers meantime retiring into the round house. This ended the fighting. About half past 11 o'clock tho same night an enormous crowd of peoplo were collected near the Twenty-eichth street crossing, expecting to see a" battle between the strikers and the troops. Suddenly a burning oil car came down the road and ran against some freight cars in front of the round house in which the troops still remained, tho intention being to fire the building and drive the soldiers out. The fire engines then appeared upon the scene but. were not allowed to play on the burn ing car. Other cars were subsequently finwl an1 son 4 r 1 1. . a ... ........ ...... ... ,.v Uiti niauw, ami mis i woik went on until daylight on Sunday, the At I'ittstini'D !i killed. 4'.): wounded, II. !

Clarence Peters, was inarching from its armory along Baltimoie street to Camden Station, to proceed to Cumber land, the regiment was stoned and fired into by the ciowd on the street. The regiment returned the fire with deadly ef- ; feet, killing a number of men, and wound- ; ing others. The streets were tliiown into tenible excitement by this affair, aud at 10 p. in. a crowd had gathered, packing Bal timore street for several squares each way ; from South street and rendering the side walks almost impassible. In front of the middle police station on North street, near ly opposite the City Hall, where most of the dead and wounded bad been taken, the way was blocked with an excited mass of citizens eager to learn the names of the unfortunate men. In that station there were eight dead bodies and two wounded men lying at the time, 10 p. ni. The following are the names of the dead as far as ascertained : Thomas B. Byrne, Register of the Fifth ward, shot in the head and killed instantly , aged 40 years ; resided on Gay street. W illiam Moran, a news boy, aged 14, shot in the head and killed instantly at the coiner of Baltimore and Holiday streets. Louis Sanewitz,'a young shoemaker, who lived at No. 4 Albemaile street. Cornelius Murphy, shot through the spinal column, aged 23, an arab. The wounded are the following : James Roke, aged 25, a laborer in a bottling es tablishment, shot th ron gb the groin, dan gerously. George Kemp, huckster, aged 23; shot through the thigh while on his way home, seriously. The wildest tumors are afloat in retard to the number killed. One is, that several women were killed and borne off. At 10:30 p. m. the depot at Camden Station was on fire, and it is said that the railroad office had been cleaned out- The telegraph office in the depot building has been destroyed, the wires cut and instruments removed. At 10 o'clock the despa:cher's house, at the lower end of the depot at. Camden Sta tion, was fired and totally burned. The depot was badly burned as far up as Barre street. The lamp and oil house, corner of Bane and Howard streets, was destroyed. About 11 o'clock some cars at Riverside round house were burned. At midnight the Fifth Regiment and the three com panies of the Sixth were still at Camden Station, and Colonel Peters with 100 men of the Sixth at their armory, all und cl aims. At 1:30 a. m., on Satuiday, Baltimore street was comparaiively quiet and also the streets in tho vicinity of the Sixth's armory, few persons being seen. Lieuten ant Wallace, of Company B, of the Sixllf, was badly wounded ; also private Young, who was taken to a hospital. 1:30 i m. The passenger trains from Camden Station have stopped running again. Only three, one for the west aud two for Washington, having gone out to day. The engineers refuse to run, assign ing as a reason that they do not consider it safe to lun over the road. over the COUNTr.Y. The rail load strike extended through most of the middle and westei n States, but does not appear to have seriously inteifered with the New England and Southern roads. It may be stated in genera! tcims, that from the important, railroad centres of St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Toledo, Chicago, Detroit, Bnffa.'o, and Cleveland, i no fieight trains have been running since Monday morning. Passenger trains have : not been interfered with, nor are they like- j ly to bo. At no point in the west has any seiious outbreak occurred, nor has any ! proper y of the railroad companies been destroyed. In this State, outside of Pitts- j burgh, the city of Reading has been the j most turbulent. On Sund.iy night a large ; number tif cars were burnt by the mob, ' and the costly Lebanon .Valley Railroad ! bridge across the Schuylkill was set on fire i and desuoyed. On Monday night seven companies of State troops arrived in that city, and a crowd of over 2,000 people hav- j ing assembled near the depot, a collision i from some cause not clearly stated took place between the soldiers and the citizens, in which six of the latter were killed and about twenty wounded, some of whom are children. In Philadelphia no alarming demonstra tions have been made, and it is believed ; that peace and quiet will be preserved in - that city. Someiiotous proceedings have , occuried at Harrisburg caused mainly from opposition by the sinkers to the passage of j i troops through that city to Pittsburgh, ' j w hile at Altoona nothing of a very exciting nature has taken place except that some of ' tho troops on their way to Pittsburgh were j not allowed to proceed westward from that '. point. Otherwise, good order has for the most part prevailed there and at other pla- j ces along the main line, though a special grand jury was sworn in at Philadelphia . on Monday for the purpose of considering the indict sments that may be brought . against rioters. The judges are also in ' session in the court of quartet sessions, t prepared to a'tend to all cases and give the offenders their just deserts, and it is ex pected that short, work will be made of j those who have been or may hereafter be arrested by tbe police. It is noticeable that those who have been gobbled up do not belong to tbe railroad class, tbe most important capture yet made being a man whose occupation is that of in oyster deal er, and who in charged with beiujj a ring- Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Iahus, and Ohio and Mississippi railroads, is suspend ed. In West Virginia the Adams express car on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was stopped near Wheeling ou Monday, the stiikers saying they would allow only "strictly" passenger and mail trains to pass. The men employed in the railroad company's shops in Wheeling were com- j pelled to quit work. In Indiana, there were stiikes on Ihe Vandalia and the Indianapolis, and St. Ixmis raihoads. The machine shops at , Terre Haute were closed and the lirs put ! out. In Missouri the strike on the eastern roads centering at St. Louis, went into ef- j feet at midnight on Sunday. The employ- I ces of the transit company also stiuck. j THE LATEST KKOM TH E KP.ONT. A Sevan ton dispatch of July 25th says : : The excitement bete is Intense. All the i trains on tho Delaware, Lackawanna & ; Western Road have been stopped. When j the Mail train from Binghamptou for New York arrived here, at 0:50 this morning j two passenger cars were detached by the,' strikeis, who said nothing but the Mail j should be allowed to run. Superintendent j Hals cad said the mail car would not run ' unless the passenger cars were also permit- : ted, and this made the strikers very inditr- j nant. The Superintendent was firm, how- I ever, and the mails were taken from the j car, which was promptly switched off ou a s ding. The strikeis telegraphed at once to the State authorities that the Company refused to run the mail, and that they would run it if necessary, and furnish firemen and engineer. A dispatch to the same eilV-ct was sent to the Post office au thorities at Washington. The streets are thronged with men from tLe mines, mills, and road. The strike of the railroad men has be come general in Chicago. Tuesday morn ing the entire force ot the Michigan Cen tral Road quit work. 1 lie men in foice that morning and visited the other men in the city and prevailed upon them all, with Ihe exception of the employes of the Noith western road, to go out on a strike. From Detroit comes the information that the Great Western road has acceded to the wishes of its employes, w hich is a return of 2i per cent, on wages up to 45 lr month, and 5 per cent, on wages over !45 per month, to be in force thiee months. Every thing is as a consequence wot king smoothly. Fit tout en ed foi.iiiERS. Mr. E. B.

At i tached to the train ou which he came was i a darkened car, in which, he says, were huddled about thirty members of the Black : Hussar regiment, who had escaped from the round house at 2Sth street.. Many . were wounded. The train in passing 1 through the city slowed at every switch I and soldieis who were in hiding jumped on. I These men wore their pau'aUHns inside ! out and had thrown away everything ex cept their shii ts. They were in great terror, Mi. Godfrey sajs, expecting the train would be stopped by rioters. One coward j sat down by a woman and asked her to 1 protect him. She threw a slrtwl over his head, and then crouched down in a corner, j At Twenty-eighth stieet the train was i stopped by the strikers. "Have yon any of those Philadelphia men'aboaid?" was . asked. The conductor replied in the neg- : ative. A gang of stiikers passed through j i the car, but did not discover the concealed i ; soldiers. Reaching the last car, w hich was i dark and seemed deserted, they were told i j that there weie a few wounded men therein, j j They did not attempt to enter.

A few weeks aj;o a resident of Orwijs bnrg visited the Schuj lkill county alms house and selected two of the best lonkit-.g giils in the institution, saying that lie wanted them as servants. Instead of tak ing the girls to ( )t v isbiug. '.bey weie put aboard a Philadelphia train, taken to that city ami placed in a house of ill fame. One of the km 1 would not stay. She le tui ned to Schuylkill Haven and informed one of the diiectois, w ho went 10 Philadel phia and rescued the other. Within six weeks three members of a family tunned Hodge, at Katoti, have died, it is reported, of starvation.

Yt'orld, dated July Qilt. says: Sen ator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, arrived here last night on pi irate busi.iss and re turned home to-iiiht. Mi. Wallace savs that the only question of the political re td in the XovpidIkt election in that state will be the size of tbe democi .it ic niajinitv. The lepublicans are dispirited throughout the state and do not appear to be desiious at present oT makinsr much if a campaign. It is doubtful if the state convention, which will be held September 5, indorses Mi. Hayes. On S.ituiday morning, while a gentle man and his wife, visiting Ce May, were bathi.ig between the S.ockton House and Cong! ess I they ventured beyond :.eir depth and were in danger of being drown ed. Theie was no one near them at the time, but their cries attracted the attention of J. L. Steinmetz, esq., of Lancaster, Pa., who (no one being near liini) went boldly to their lescue : be first brought the wo man to a safe place and returning rescued her husband. They were deeply gi ateful, and his brave act and its beneficial it-suits have made Mr. S einme z the hero of the season at Cape May. The Baltimoie Cfiholie Mirror devotes its leading article in the last issue to the 1 kiting at Montreal. The Oiangemen. it says, should bo praised for their resoli.t ion to forego their annual procession; eqnaily should the Irish Catholics be commended for their efforts in the c.use of peace ; and both should be absolved from all blame in the matter of the disturbances caused bv the rowdies of the city. Tho full measuie of public indignation and reprobation should, however, be visited on the head c.f J. L. Ueaudry, Mayor of Montreal, whoso criminal inactivity after legated and m gent warnings, k-ft the city in the hands of a mob. A .Mr. Meiburg, residing near Denni son, owns a litter of pigs which acknowl edge allegiance to the authoii y of a ben. Soon after the birth of the little poikeis the3r wandered ihrouyh an jertute in the fence and sequestered themselves in a cosy nest owned by a setting lien. The hen was peifeclly delighted and at once pro ceeded to adopt the newcomers. The pigs rather liked it, and continued the habit of going to bed in the nest while the hen would squat over them a la chickabus. The queerest feature is that during the dy the pigs followed the hen's clucks, leaving her only when the cravings of hun ger made it necessary for I hem to visit other and more natural quarters. The Marshal f Texas) StaUtmnn says that a large maple tree was ucently ut in that vicinity, and ii the very centre of the trunk, surrounded by about a foot i f sound wood, was discovered a squirrel's nest. Fine grass, bits of cedar baik and beechnuts filled the cavity almost full. The slight est touch reduced the contents to dust, and fuither research- revealed the little occn pauts of the nest, coiled snugly under the covering, and turned to wood. There they lay almost perfect in form, smothered to death. They had not starved to death, because their store of nuts w an not exhaust ed when they died. The only explanation that seems reasonable is that they entered the tree in the fall, through a small aper ture, which then grew too small to use an exit, and they were gradually sealed up.
