Ik anything approaching the violence and lawlessness w Inch disgraced five or six Northern States during the late railroad strike had occurred in the same or a less number of Southern States, evciy Republi can newspaper in the North would have proclaimed it as conclusive evidence of the existence of the old rebel feeling of hostili- ty to the Union, and would have demanded that military governments should again bo placed over them. It is true there are not as many miles of railroad track in the South as there are in the North, nor any thing like the tiade and traffic on the for mer that pass over the latter, but that of itself does not account for the fact that while turbulence ran ran riot on the roads in one section, order and quiet prevailed which the people of some of the great rail - r,ad centres in the North have been com- pelled to pass.

Quite a number of Virginians have vis ited us within the past week a tin preferred charge against their newly appointed Revenue Collector, Russell. The charges against him will be investigated, but it is thought by the Administraion that there is ,i..iliiwr in them and that the leal oliicct ion . , ; , ... ., i. ; ,t to Russell is the fact that he is not a native of the Slate.

THE SOt'TH AND THE STRIKE. The gotni effect of Mr. Hayes' Southern policy has been happily illustrated in the recent riotous demonstrations at the North. Had the Government upheld Chamberlain and Packard with U. S. troopa, it would have !een necessary to withdraw them in order to put down the strikers' riot, when an uprising of the people of those States would have taken place as against Packard and Chamberlain, and the Government would have had lo cope with a rebellion North and South at the same time. As it turned out, the Administration found itself relieved from any danger to the public peace in the Soirh, and Jlr. Hayes is feel ing considerably pleased at the orderly spirit and sympathy from that section. Had the Government found a necessity for volunteers the Soul hern quota would have been rapidly completed and the gray been seen mingling with the blue in the cause of peace and good order.

A Dreadful Casiuilty. SEVEN MRU PRECiriTATET) T.TTO A HOT Fl'KNACE TWO AKK Bl-RNT TO DEATH TWO OTHERS PUITOSED TO Bit FATALLY INJURED. The Pittsburgh Commercial Qtuetle of Saturday furnishes the following particu lars of a shocking accident which occurred in that city on the day previous : A dreadful accident happened nt the Lucy Furnaci or Carnegie Co., situated on the Al b'trhenv river, near Fiftieth street, yesterday forenoon, at eleven o'clock, which resulted in the burninv to death of two men. Julius Har den and Michael Cusick, and the injury of five others, two ot whom will probably r?ia from their injuries. The circumstances connected with the accident are these i The tire in one of the furnaces wasallowed to vooul. forthepur pose of relininv one of the cupolas. Ten men were detailed lor this duty, and hey commenc ed before the furnace had time to cool off. Indeed, the bottom of the furnace was still red hot. and contained a maas of clinkers, as well as broken firebricks which had fallen from above. The men were workinv upon a scaf fold, which had been erected near the top of the furnace, and were removing the old lininv, lenvinfr a wall, as they progressed downward, thick enouvh to stand upon. The heat that Came up from below was so intense that the men could not remain continuously at work, harinv to vo out at intervals to cool off. and Bet fresh air. While the men were at work, shortly before eleven o'clock, the scaffold vave way. and seven of the ten men were precipita ted' some thirty-five or Torty feet, upon the javffed ma of hot crinkets. The other three men had fortunately been standing upon the wall, and immediately ave the alarm. The mils' apparent way of escape was out through the top of the furnace. While a rope was belli procured, to let down lo the buruliiv and suf flcnlinir men, their cries for help cottid he heard, and the most Intense excitement prevailed. The fall, in itself, was dreadful rnoujrh ; but t; e kipwlerttre th,.t a portion of the material itself was almost red hot, tilled the minds of all with the fearful apprehension-that the men who had fallen would be literally roasted to death. The horror of the situation was in creased when the material of which the scaf fold had been constructed bevan to tdM.e. and sent up a blinding and snflinv smoke. The as sembled workmen, almost f rantic with excite ment, urved the manaverto throw water into the furnace, but he kn'-w that as the walls were $et hot, water would onls' add to the dan ger, &nd cause the death of any who rnivht ,e alive. Some of the workmen who were outside found that although the place was scorching hot, it was possible to assist those inside. Thej' were helped out. one b- one, until rive were re moved. I!y this time the burning wood of the scaffold had nearly died out, and the smoke having cleared away a better opportunity was had to secure the bodies of the two unfortu nate men who had perished. They were soon removed and presented a most shockinv spec tacle. The body of Hayden was burnt to a crisp in some portions, while Cusick's nose and hands were burnt off . Hayden was twen-tS'-six .years of live, haves a wife and child and resiled off Hutlcr street, near the furnace. Cusick was 1 went--nves'eors of age, unmarried, and resided at the corner of Htnler ami Kifty first stteet. The names of the injured are Pat rick Cui-ick. (brother of t he one who was killed.) Jas. Tunics', John Hoj le, Jas. Hart nnd John Ward. Patrick Cusick and Jas. Tnrney are supposed to be fatally injured by inhaling hot air. lioyle had both ievs broken, aim is in a precarious condition, while Hart is supposed to have been injured bs' breathing hot air. Ward is not considered in danger. The injured were removed to SU Francis Hospital, on For-t--foiirth street, where they are being carefully treated and nursed. Coroner Thomas was noti fied of the accident, empanneled a jurs"..vlewed the bodies of the dead, and adjoin ned .the in quest until nine o'clock this morning, at his otlice in the Court House. Th.'re are various rumors afloat as lo the cause of the accident, who are responsible for it, etc., but as all the facts will be detailed by witnesses under oath, we retrain from alluding to them further at present. Resolutions of- Workmen. On Satur day nearly five thousand work mermen met in Dana's Grove, at Wilkesbarre. Delega tions came from all the suburbs about there, and some of them marched through the streets with a band of music playing in front of them. Invitations were sent to Governor Hartrauft, Colonel Wright, member of Congress, Sheriff elect Kirken dell, and Mayor Loom is, to address the meeting. The Governoi sent word that his business there was simply in Ihe iirer est of peace that he came to protect the property of railroad companies and open lines of travel and would not address any meeting whatever. Neither Colonel Wiight nor the Sheriff was present ; Mayor Loom is was there, however. Speeches were made by three or four of the leading strikers, and the following resolutions were adopted: We, the workinvmen of this meeting, deem it prndi'tit and necessary to define our position in th" struggle to the public in the following resolutions : Kofrrit, That we denounce the action of the civil authorities- of this county in calling for military aid to suppress alleged violence and lawlessness.. That we call for the immediate removal of the said troops from our midst, their presence not being, nor never was. required. That we declare the action of the Vigilance Committee of Scran ton, in wantonly shooting down and taking Ihe lives of our fellow work men, as a fiendish and unpardonable crime, condemned alike by th. laws of (Jod and man. That we again reiternte our willingness to protect life and properly, ir there is ans" im perilled, and call upon ail iHW-ahiding nnd peaceable citizens to co-operate with us in so doing. That the rate of wages paid by our emploj ers at present not being living rates we are per sistent in i.ur demand of an advance of t wenls' nve per ceni. That a committee of twents'-flve he appoint ed to co -operate with the staudi.-ig committee in the adjustment of difficulties. Iii the speeches that followed the Sheriff came in for a share of denunciation, be cause he was not present to answer the question whether he had called for mili tary aid or not, and his absence was con sidered evidence that he had. Sand Spouts. For a time yesterday afternoon, says the Virginia (Nev.) J'Jnter prie of a recent date, quite a heavy sand storm was in progress on the large desert some forty miles to the eastward of this city. Great clouds of sand were seen to rise and sweep along over the plain, gradually asconding until Ihe highest peaks of the Humboldt Mountains were hidden. In ap pearance the drifting sand much resembled the clouds of snow raised by winter storms on the prairies of the West. The sand also forms drift or dunes as drifts are formed from snow. Every clump of grease wood has its surrounding hillock of sand, and in places long ridges of sand are seen, as in many localities on the shores of the sea. Among these dunes and on the level alkali flats the mirages play their fantastic tricks upon weary and thirsty travellers. Bunches of bushes become forest trees, crows look like giraffes, and broad, sedge bordered lakes lie shimmering in the sun, all to recede or vanish when approached. Here, too, pillars of sand, formed by small whirlwinds, glide along over the desert like a troop of ghosts, half a dozen sometimes being seen in company. These are fre quently several hundred feet in height, and remain intact for an hour or more. Three or four small pillars of this kind ere yesteiday afternoon waltzing about on the Twenty-two mile desert for half an hour or more. They are of the same nature as the' water-siMHits met with at sea, there fore might, r.ot inappropriately, be termed sand-spouts. The deserts being generally basins surrounded by high mountains, ed dies or whirls in them aie of frequent oc currence when a heavy wind is blowing, and thus are produced the great pillars of sand.
