fl RAC , 0 ora AGE.—On Wednesday
night kist,'at abont one o'clock, a body of rioters
attacked the dwelling house of a miner, engaged
Lathe employ of Simnel & Son, abinit
one mile from Minereville, with stones and gabs,
evidently intending to teir'down the building and
murder the inmates. Several shots were fired into
the house, and a number of stones thrown, 'one of
which struck a child on the , head, injuring it ve
ry Severely. „The owner of the house, awakened
by 'the noise, arose and putting his family under

a. piek-And -preparedlo defend himself. In the
mean time, the }Nreman of the miner, named
Rand, who lived in the neighborhood, isreassed by

he levelled his gun and fired two shots at the

length to which talents may be prostituted;'when
governed and controlled by a vicious inclination.
In theftist place, the center' endeavors to intro

der which, he Sir, die community:is grastOpg,

to the employer. Improbability and falsehood, is
written upon the very face_ of it ; -and we'doribt
that there are ilk worknitnen this aide of Ihe
'hlinersville district, who will subscribe Wit. We
believe,it to be true that, in several instinices,
impositions have been practised upon the miners
of that district; but with these the COnamittee
have nothing to do: they Friend to represent the
working men ,f this portion' of the Coal region,
and hine the workingmen acknowledge little cause
of complaint ; din a majority of instances;the em
ployers have paid them haltcash, and itt'a num
ber of instances, all cish.'
We say th. 4 this address is a libel Upon the
working min--because it accuses him of anger.
lug indignities which no iman,' 'possessing the
slightest portion of freedom in his disposition,
Ivould succumb to.,_ Witness the following:
" And thus does the Jaboores in despite . of all his

We now. ask seriously. whether any laborer in
this cmankutity:Will admit thathe has undergone
patiently, and for - so,long a dine, such a systeti
of degradation; by nelmowledging it, would
rank with the calumniator and Yinaultlhiti own
manliness, On the contrnry, T we JuinW that the
working men have never Iced conSulted in the
pnblication of this slander--that it emanated
from the Conimittee, - or the morbid brain of one
of them, and 'does dot 'shadow, forth the senti
ments of those men,.from whom it is stippesed
, proceed. The whole address, from !Irk to 'Feet,
speaks a language that no man can affect to mis
unclerstand-re language of animosity rand bitter,.
Meddling jealousy, which will, stoop tomnything
in order to effect - Its unworthy purpo S e. Fable
in almost every? essential; the isolated trntbs it
does contain are-sio highly wrought and coloured
as to lcise,their whole force and effect.. , - With
inch' feelings; the Committee, or,-rather the Writer
of the article goes on into a wholestdeeonde'iona•
don of the openkers of this district, at. the same
time, gratuitottply disclaiming, on theiiart of those
connected with theturn out, any attempt it vio
lence; and ridiculing the obedience ditto military
to the Sheriff 's requisition as a Quizoile exhibi
tion.: : In this manner is:the majesty' of our lawn
mimicked, and the prouipt attendance to the call
of Oar' civil authorities sneered at, by. those who,
in the same breath, hypocritically profess to hon
or and respect. these lens. After accusing the
employers •of dishonesty—of having the means
and 'refusing to pay those in 'then.employ—the
following charge is added to the list :
"And still forthl3i, if posiible to erntamnts the wor:
kingman, notwithstanding the want of labour, they
caused, to be circulated through Wales, lastspring,
advertisements stating, that several hundred 'minis
- were in immediate request at Pottsville, Pa., to whom
the most liberal wages would be given—in cash, of
course. By this course how maoy_men have' been
seduced from I permanent. employment, where, they
received their, egular pay, and they and their families
.driven from peace, conifort and liappmesi, into misery
and despair. !Yes, and when they came here they
were damned forcoming by those who were the cause
•tif , . -
. ,
Now the writer of th4publication, when he
penned the above charge, knew - that he was cir.
minting a base and malicious lie, (We are averse
to.using epithets, bnt this is the only expression
which such conduct merits) He knew that this
accusation had peen refutee l long stnce, and that

This we accordingly' did-.—and we know that if

is very great and there is , no very early prospect of

which have fallen 30 or 40 or even, 50 per cent.,

teary hope,. but certainly . with little foundation.
Vacant lots are purchasable at . very reduced - pri- i
cea;—labor I vastly cheaper, and [louses can
therefore beirrected at itornitbing like 'two thirds
or even half the' cost of those built during the - pa
per money milleniuni. This fact is all sufficient
to keep down rents to the peril depressed stand
