riTTSBURO.
The Pittsburc papers, of TlmrstTny ot
last week, contain thu following addi
tional particulars of affairs in that city i
T11D PHILADELPHIA SOLDIERS.
Tho situation of tho camn of tho
Philadelphia soldiers, at Ulalrsvllie, is
picturesquely beautiful. Great wootletl
bills stretch out and upward for miles In
each direction. Un one of thesu hill
sides south of the main lino and a little;
west of tho depot end other buildings of
the railroad, tlm soldiers are encamped.
A narrow lane, hedged on each Bidq
with rows of towering and spreading
forest trees, leads back u lttth from the
railroad station anil then past a little
farm house directly up the hill. This
farm house U occupied by General Brill-
ton as tils lieaa-quarters, nn.i right u.icK
of It tho Washington Grays are station
ed as his body guard. Here the J alio
starts directly up the hill, and Just a lit
tle furtliir on stands a venerable stable,
.which Hie fifteen uiiuiilforined boys of
the lllack Hussars have taken posses
sion of and litted up as their quarters.
They Iiavu arranged it in a etylo as
novel ns it is picturesque, and are en
joying life as well as could be expected.
.Along tlm fences aud under the trees
on either side of the town the boye are
located. On the left, atcendlng tho hill,
fiut comes the Weccacoe Legion, and
then the First Regiment, under Colonel
JJenson. On thu other side come, in
regular order, tho Second Regiment, thn
Third Regiment and the Stato Fenci
bles. The boys have, erected booths
from the branches of trees, extending
fiom the fence out to the road. These
aro admirable sun protectors, in lieu of
tents, ot which they have none. They
rue piovlded with blankets, receiving
night before last a supply of gum blank
ets, which, in case of rain, can bo
thrown over the booths, and will afford
excellent shelter. They havo a good
supply of provisions, which have readi
ed ihem In a clandestine manner. They
do not. complain of tlm service, nnd ex
press a hearty willingness for any duty,
even should they bo ordered back to
Pittsburg. ,
Iu conversation with rt reporter of tho
Dispatch, Ucnurul Iirintnti made, grave
charges against. Major liufflngton. the
Commandant lit tho Arsenal. Ho as
serted that the excuse given by that olll
cial lor lefuslng them admittance was
most lllinsy nnd shallow. There was
no reason In the world that, oncu Insldo
the building, the soldiers might not
havo defended it from a mob twice as
gieat In iiuinners as the one In the
blreets. Gen. Ilriutou.r.ays tlje reporter,
has forwarded to tho Secretary of War
a lull statement of the case and lodged
a formal complaint against the com
mandant, and demands a full and
searching Investigation of tho matter.
Tiio loutliut of camp lltu is not mono-,
tonous by any means. The soldiers
drill and perforin all kinds of duty reg
ularly every day. The men are hustled
out of their beds, tho mountain sod Is
called so by courtesy, ami breakfa-t is
tirst on tho progiamme, then dilll.
Guards aro tlnown oct at proper dis
tances from tho camp and do duty all
main, e.nu; nay wiin as rigid restrictions
Impost tl as were any timo during tho
war. They have skirmish drills every
day to keep the men In practice, and
ery effective practice it is. too. The.ro
are uo wounded men In the camp with
iu exception oi a lew who liavo re
ceived slight 'scratches, and perhaps
three who aro compelled lo carry their
ar.ns In slings.
On Tuesday a number of stragglers
from the Pnlladelphla troops left i'itts
burg in citizen's dress, homeward
bound. They excliaiiKi'd grectlncs with
their coir.rades nt Rlairsvllle nnd then
proceeded onward. As tho train tieareil.
the next telegraph sjatlou It was stopped
uud n messago was received by nn oil!
eer iu command ot the homeward bound
soldiers from General lirliiton to return
Immediately to tiio intersection. They
t onco disembarked riid footed It hack,
u distance ot several hcs, to jelu their
comrades.
W Wes Chew, a prlvato of tho Stato
Fenclbles, reached camp on Wednesday.
He was on board thu soldiers' train
which was stopped by tho rioters at Al
toona. llo descilbes tha scenes ut
Altimna ns described by other writers
wnose nccounts nave already been pub
lished. Thu train was obliged to return
towards Harrisburg, and ho went Into
that city In company with others of the
militia who had sui rendered to tho riot
ers. Ho determined to leavo Ids com
panions and make for Dlalrsville. Us
slipped aay ond got some dlstanco up
town when he wuscaptured and brought
back. Tho train was goue, and Chew
was released upon his promise to go
homo in the morning. Ho then went
up town and piocured citizen's clothes,
and went west wiih his uniform In a
uunuie. At Altoona, tho train was;
seaiched by tho mob. Uy a clever ruse
Chew escaped exumiuatiqii, Ho jumped
nrourid aud spoke to Imngluury persons
r.t soma distance In tha crowd. Ho
mixed through tho crowd and flnally
tho train staited and ho Jumped aboauU
He had o precisely similar experience
nt Johnstown, and finally reached camp'
Tuesday afternoon, belug thu only on
of the two hundred and fifty men thai
left Philadelphia with lilui who go)
through.
It Is estimated that about three thou
sand mllltla aro ot Rlalrsvlllo. They
include, In addition to Gen. Drlnton's
troops, poitlons of tho Divisions of Gen.
Gallagher, Gen. Harry While aud Gen.
Beaver. '
An interesting account of how tho
troops fared at Claremont, near Sharps
burg, lias been given. They arrived
there on Sunday morning, foot-soroand
hungry. They wero actually starving.
Superintendent Grubbsof tho Alleghu-
nv Homo, earned or tueir couuiiun,
and supplied them with bread, When
tho " stall of life " was cxnausieu, a
demand was mado on tho Workhouso
officials. An additional supply ot bread
was procured at this Institution, but
that was not all. In order to get moro
nrovlslons. two of the soldiers were
dressed In citizens' clothes, and, thus
tllsaulsed, they came to town and mado
their wants known to Mr. Cassatt, ot
tho Pennsylvania Railroad. Ho at
ouco secured two Ico wagons, and, driv
ing up to ono of tho'.frelght depois, pro
cured four hogsheads of hams. These,
together with several barrels ot crack
erf, ho had delivered to the City Home,
at Claremont. All night long the Su
perintendent and officials ot tho Homo
and Surgeon General Mears, ot tl0
Philadelphia soldiers, wero busily en
gnsed In cooklnj: for the half-fiimlshed
men, who received sixty gallons of
coffee and as many substantial as they
could eat ; after which they retired.
Henry Shaw, a private In tho State
Fenclhles, who, It ha3 already been
stated, was wounded in tho Plttsburu
riots, has died from tho effects of his
injuries. Lieutenant Charlton, ot tho
Sixth Regiment, tods tho following sto
ry of his friend's death : "It was dur
ing tho march of tho First Division,
when thoy were going up Hutler street
and nearing tho bridge which crosses
the Allegheny, below Sharpsburg, when
poor Sliaw received a terrlblo gunshot
wound In tho groin. Ho staggered
across the street and Into the door of
St. I'lilloniena's Catholic church. Ser
vlcn was going oir, but the ofllclatliig
prlost at onco dismissed the congrega
tion, and taking the wounded man. hid
him in n place ot safety near tho altar.
In another moment the mob entered in
seach for Its victim, but were foiled iu
their attempt to discover him. After
comparative silence had been restored
tho priest procured a carrlae;e, and,
placing Shaw Inside, tlrnvo with him
towards the hospital, The cr.rriago on
the way was surrounded by thu mob,
who learning that a,. Philadelphia sol.
dier was liisldo, clamored for his deliv
ery into their haqds. Tho priest stood
up, and, finding persuasion of no avail,
threatened them with vengeance It
they should attempt to lay a hand on
the wounded man. He was successful
in netting him from the hands of tho
bloodthirsty scoundrels." Shaw was
afterwards taken to tho West Penn
Hospital, and after surgical treatment
was in a fow hours pronounced In a
fair way to recover, and Information to
that etfect was telegraphed to J)ls
piother In Philadelphia. Rut on Tues
day inUainmation unexpectedly set in,
and ho continued to get worso until
Wednesday evening, when it became
apparent that he could not live much
loiicer, and he was anointed by the rev
erend father who ministered to him
when the wound was received.
WHAT riTTSBUUOnr.S SAY OF THE PHIL
ADELPHIA!.
Tha Dispatch says : "Tho engineers
of tho Pennsylvania Railroad are ot tho
opinion that a great many ot tho Phila
delphia troops escaped from Ilio round
liouso on Saturday night by donning
engineer s doming, Mr. James .Atcho
son, one of the old engineers of tiio
company, bays there were three cuats,
a calico shirt, overalls and a pair of
boots on his engine, besides clothing
belonging to tho lirernao. Hu ran his
engine Into tho house about 3 o'clock.
by direction ot tho strikers, and tool:
bomo thlngfi put ot the cao when he
lett, Intending to return for the balance.
In ths evenlnj:, .Hu did not return,
however. There was sufficient clothing
In each of tha engines to furnish at
least one disguise for a soldier. .
. Among the ftrlkers of the Pcnnsyl
vania Railroad, the opinion prevails
that the placing of troops in tho round
lvuuso was a bad piece of generalship,
tip it peuned the men In very cpo
'luartere-aud cave the mob an opportu
nity to surrouud th?m without enojunt
erhig resistance. Had the troops been
quartered on the hillside, tho strikers
are ot me opinion the rouud .house,
shops, etc.. would have, been Intact to
day, aud the city not dlsgiaceil,by the
couioiooueu uiuruer or tiio miladeipiua
soldiery. Moro than that, at times but
ono or two men wer engaged setting,
nre to mo cars next trie hillside, ana r.
single volley would havo ended their
career. Witli the Gatllue cuii In post
tlon on tho hillside, tho mob, when at
its highest pitch, could havo been dis
persed. Ju the round house It was al
most worthless, as it could not be used
without entailing the loss ot very valu
able property.
The Post says Officer Qol Coulson,
who was with tho troops on Saturday
night, thinks they were Justified In
firing ou the crowd on the hillside. He
followed, (hem up from the Union De-.
pot, and. stated that before they reached'
the .blockaded crossing, liarry Gott
tired upon them. Ho continued to tiro
at different points, and while a portion
of the force were engaged in clearing
the platform stones were hurled from
the crowds on the hillside. Col. Gray
corroborates Officer Coulson's state
ment tliat tho Philadelphia troops were
first fired at before they delivered the
teirlble volley which caused so many
casualties nmoiig thoso congregated ou
mo niiisiuc.
A Lancasterlr.n lust returned from
Pittsburg says that ho talked with a
great many l'ittsburgers, every ono of
wiiom pronounced the Philadelphia
"boys" tho bravest soldiers they ever
saw. The Flttsburcers, ho says, aro
now heartily ashamed of their conduct
toward the Phlladelphlans. .
An cyo witness of tho Saturday eve
ning light a Stnitlifield street Insur
ance agent gives his version rts to who
fired tho first shot. This gentleman,
who Is reliable, wns wllliln twpntv fnet.
ot the Twenty eighth street crossing,
mid states that the crowd of strikers
was remarkably good humored, nnd hd
saw no drunkenness. Tho command
was given the military to charge bayo
nets, and they did so, presslnc tho
crowd back a short distance, atid.hcsl-
tiling to injuro any one. bomo of tho
iTiiwit seized tho bayonets and pushed
them aside. 'I hu command to "chargo"
was eiven again, and tills timo somo
of the strikers wnro prodded with bay
onets. A man in the crowd, near an
other who had been hurt by a bayonet's
point, drew a revolver and fired at tho
soldier whoso bayonet had dono this.
Tho soldier fell, and the firing than
began on both sides.
THE EVENTS OF WEDNESDAY.
Tho Cominltteoof Safety, which hclils
two sessions a day, was In session ou
Wednesday. They aro supplied with
ammunition and arms, provided by tho
Secretary of War, and under their -auspices
a mounted police force has been
urbanized, lho uomiiitttcu aro clothed
with nrnplo powers to enforce all neces
sary measures for tho public safety.
The Ultlzen3' uorps aro subject to their
orders ; all movements of the mllltla
are promptly reported to them ; Indeed,
nothing ot moment Is dono In connec
tion with the existing trouble, without
their advice and consent. Their facili
ties for obtaining Inforniatlon have
been so enlarged and perfected that
nothing can transplro within tho limits
of the city without their cognizance.
During thu day there wero several
changes in tho distribution of thu
troops In tho city.
Acting upon tho Governor's latest
proclamation, calling upon the citizens
to form associations witli any kind ot
arms they can procure for tho preser
vation of tho peace, tho citizens of
Pittsburg, to the number ot about threo
thousand, havo formed themselves Into
n special body for the protection ot tho
city. The Sportsmen Assojlatlon, of
Western Pennsylvania, numbering
nbuut 200 members, has also organized
for the aid of tho civil authorities.
During the course of tho day a meet
ing of ministers aud members of Chris
tian churches was held, at which pray,
ers were offered and addresses made.
Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Percy
Smith, formerly Superintendent ot
Transportation at Altoona, and now
Superintendent of thu Tyrone Division,
P. R. arrived In the city, and with
Mr Drown, Chief Engineer of Main
tenance of Way, went over tho Hue
from the elevator to T hlrty-thlrd street,
Tho gentlemen wero satisfied that a
slnale track can be opened from Thirty
third street to the Seventh Avenue Ho
tel, on Liberty btreet, In six hours, and
announced that on Thursday they
would cause tha work to be consummat
ed. Tho wrecks ot tiio cars on Liberty
street, at the elevator, were n moved
on Wednesday afternoon, the company
paying good laborers at tho rate of SI
per day.
Chief Engineer Evans had a force of,
firemen at work Wednesday cooling oft
tho track, upon which masses of burn
ing material had been smoulderlug
since tha tiro. Sheriff Fife during tho.
day put on a force of fifty trusty men
to guard tho damaged property on the
burnt tracks and keep it from being
carried off. There aro Immense quan
tities of brass, copper, iron, etc., that
can bo utilized, nnd If not watched will
bo made away with by tho youug pilfer
ers who Infest that vicinity, A large
portion of the track Is not seriously
damaged, but wherever cars were burnt
tjio rails and ties will have to bo re
placed. It is said that tracks could bo
laid through the burut district in forty
eight houis, it the workmen wero not
iuterfered with. j
, A number of arrests wers made. A
man named Harrison was taken into
custody for attacking thu soldiers as
they passed along llutler street. Two,
others were arrested for tampering with
the railway switches at Nimlck Station,
on the Pan Handle Railway. Thomas
Hums, charged with arson, was also
arrested. A man earned Philips, nr
lestcd on Wednesday, is now supposed
to be tho mau who followed the Phlla
delphlans. on their retreat and shot at
them so unmercifully. The accused is
a noted desperado, nnd the testimony
against him Is very positive, .
jnncovEMKO stolen rnorERTY.
,The County Commissioners have pub
lished a notice directing tho return ot
property taken from tho scene of the
tire, and asking for information as to
the whereabouts ot stolon property.
They havo also secured a warehouso on
Liberty btreet, whero returned goods
willbobtoruJ until finally disposed of.
They have already the names of 200 or
tlUO peisous who have In tlielr posses
sion stolen property, their detectives and
the police aro making a thorough aud
systematic search for all missing goods.
In ane house In Virgin alley no less
than sixty hams were secured. Among
tho articles already s"cured aro nine
barrels of Hour, about one hundred
hams, one sewlug machine, two tierces
lard, cheese, whips, saws, damaged to
bacco, soap, glass waro, Iron ware,
harness, arid a variety of small articles.
1 1 THE CAUSE! OF THE RIOT.
'The Pittsburg Dispatch editorially
says, referring to tho riot In that city;
"It Is idle to say that tlicso troubles
have been brought about by any doc
trines of ngrarianisni taught by polltU
clans or editors. Thodesttuctlon of llfo
and property which occurred ou Saturn
day and Sunday -was tho result of blund
ers on the part.ot 6'everal persons con
neoted with tho tallroad, ot our civl
authorities ond of military rashness.
The strikers originally formed a mob;
but a peaccablo mob till defiant speeches
had been mado to them by a General
who promised to put' a freight' train
through at nil hazards aud ride on it
himself, and even then there was no
violence, though much derision, tin the
crowd was unexpectedly tired upon;
Then, having raised a howl of Indigna
tion at the mrissacro they had commit
ted, tho military proved to be Income
petent for tho exigencies' ot the caso as
tho civil authorities had been. There
was absolutely no effort mado to re
