Under no circamstance is firing to be permitted, except by order of tbe officer in immediate command. Second, All other means of quiet ing riot and restoring order, having first been exhausted, tbe officer com manding the troops shall notify rioters that tbey will be fired upon unless they promptly disperse. The order to fire will then be deliberately given, and every soldier will be expected to fire with effect. Tbe fire will continue until tbe mob disappears. Third, Officer in command of droops will report to these headquar ters tbe names of all citizens who have attempted, or may attempt, to dissuade member of the National Gnard from tb discharge of their duties. All such persons should be arrested if possible.! -V Fourth, Headquarters, after two o'clock tbia afternoon, will be special car on Pennsylvania Railroad.

It looks now as if the force of the strike is broken, and tbe railroads will boob be surrendered to the con trol of tbeir legitimate managers. . It will take months, however, to restore confidence, and year to make good the losses sustained by reason of tbe derangement of all the business inter ests of the countrv. . Since our last, tbe railroad strike has spread throughout the country, extending to all tbe main lines in the middle and western states. In nearly all tbe cities and Important places outside of the city of New Yoik, the worst element has come to tbe front, and in many of them serious riots and great destruction of property have only been prevented by the prompt action of the civil and military auth orities. The striker holding posses sion of all the trunk lines, have refu sed to permit freight to be moved thereon, provisions and fuel have be come scarce at many points, manu factories have been stopped by vio lence or from lack of fuel, and thous ands of persons willing to work have been forced into Idleness, and tbeir families brought face to faee with want and suffering. ,- Millions of pro perty have been destroyed, other mill ions have been lost through enforced idleness, a great portion of the coun try bag been one wild scene of terror, confusion and la wlesaness, score of live have been sacrificed, and hun dreds will yet have to be bung and imprisoned in vindication of tbe out raged law, and as a warning to evil doers in tbe future. At the present time tbe backbone of tbe strike ap peara to be broken, tbe strikers in many place appear to be appalled at the result of their misconduct, and , gradually tbe railroads, backed by tbe civil and military of the states' through which tbey pass, are again , obtaining possession of their property. But the end is not yet; a spirit of lawlessness has been unchained that may do much further damage before it is finally subdued. In tbe mean time, the National and State .govern ments are preparing; for a final con flict, if necessary ; all good citizens are arraying themselves on the side of law and order, and if needs must, the lawless element will be crashed without mercy. This has become a struggle for law, for government, for the right of property, for the rights of peaceful labor ; and for their protec tion every power within the nation must be brought into requisition. The peaceful pursuits of industry, law, order and decency must be maintained at any and every cost. We trust that no sensible c'tizen will permit hi reason to be led astray by tbe blather and- drivel of dema gogues and knaves about "the rights of labor," "oppression of capital," Ac, Ac, with . which it is attempted to cloak or extenuate tbe prevailing in surrection. Tbe facts are simply these : A body of railroad men assu med to fix tbe price of tbeir own labor, and io punith any one . cAo Jartd net a lower value on Ate of. To enforce their views, tbey seize railroad property that does not belong to tbem, tbey place an embargo on tbe carrying trade of tbe country,' thereby stopping the hum cf machin ery all over the land, and enforcing idleness on thousands or - laborers, while they bring extortionate priceaj if not starvation, to tbeir doors, by preventing the transportation of food. PiTTantnua sowed, to the wind, and reapt the whirlwind. , If she did uot cater to tbe strikers, as is now in dignantly denied, she : temporized witb the rioters, and sbe has lost im measurably in property, in character, and in all that goo to sustain good name and reputation.

There was at first a mawkish sympathy engender ed hy, real or imaginary grievance against the railroad with the orig inal violators of the law, tbe strikers. The press, with quavering voice, gave forth uncertain sounds. The. civil authorities, if not criminally negli gent,' were weak and vacillating. Military aid from abroad was invo ked, in self-defence the mob was iired upon, and then, because through mis chance a few innocent lives were lest, tbe authorities abandoned all further efforts to preserve the peace, a por tion of the local military, like pol troons, threw down their arms, tbe respectable citizens clasped tbeir hands and bemoaned the calamity, wbfle bell raged In their midst, and murder, arson and pillage rugned supreme. ; ...

The regular mail train on the West Penn and the Philadelphia Ex press collided at tbe above named place, and besides demolishing tbe two engines, a . baggage : and - one passenger coach, live men were killed outright and. ten others .wounded. The Philadelphia express train of the r ennsylvania Railroad left Allegheny City over this line at five minutes after five o'clock railroad time, in stead of waiting at Sharpsburg'for the mail train to pass her, which was due at about the same time as the express, the train ran through that borough at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. When fche passed Guyasuta station, one balf mile this side of the wreck and about one mile and a quar ter above Sharpsburg station, it is easily to be supposed that her rate had been increased live miles, beiag a fearful speed to collide with. ; The mail train is said to have been ruu ning at tbe same speed and as the two trains swiftly approached each other tho destruction of all the pas sengers on both trains ssemed inevita ble. ; ' ...

Courtney bad been drugged witb arsenic. 1 bis is no more than is done every day on the rare tracks in the city, and is a fair illustration cf tbe honor of sporting men. ALARMiNii mortality. The excessive mortality among children in the city is occasioning alarm. Tbe deaths last week were over 500 in excess of the correspond ing week for years, the mortality be- j ing mostly confined to children. It is not, as usual, confined to the tene ment houses, hot tb children of the better classes have suffered terribly. Tbe weaiber bas been unusually se vere, and tbe streets aud alley were never so filtby.

At tbe Mail Steamship Company's dock and vicinity the excitement and disturb ance are increasing. Ihe bre is still raging aad appears to be under con trol in the direction of the mail dock but is spreading to 'be northward along the city front ia tbe lumber yards, and westward along Front street. -The mob is becomiug more and more demonstrative, and is with dim cult v beld in check. Ibey ore attacking the police and vigilants with stones. One policeman was crippled by a stone, and two vigi lants reported shot. The force' charg ed on the crowd with clubs and pis tols, firing about Guv shots, and forc ed tbem back. Gen. Cobb, in charge of tbe vigilant?, reports tbe riot in were not wholly removed Under the Ju ly sun the gutters and back yards of tbrt densely populated streets in the lower part of tbe city emitted a con centration of stencbea that singly were enough to kill a healthy adult to say nothing of a weak and insuf ficiently nurtured child. Tbe germ of disease once set afloat was carried into the better regions, and tbe child of many a. wealthy man died as an atonement for his neglect of tbe poor, "whom we hare always with us." The Board of Health, always! weeks too late, have taken bold of tbe matter ; and their efforts bave, io some measure, checked the disease, THE SUM MIR PLACES.

All tbe noted orators of the ountry are brought to New York by turns, so tbat the feeling is not allowed to die or lessen. Mother Stewart,' who started the crusade movement in tbe West, is here, and is speaking every day and nigbt, witb great effect. Murphy will open bis peculiar work next week ; and Gen. Gibson of Ohio, and other noted orators, are held in reserve. Tbe legal part of tbe work is better organized than it has ever been. Tbe rum-shop that is caught without a license, or tbat io any way transgresses the law, is held to all tbe penalties prescribed. Aod as good lawyers with plenty of money are employed, tbey worry the sellers terribly. It is no joke to tbem to be arrested, for tbe old tricks of indefinite postponements and stiaw bail are not allowed to work. They bave worried nearly two hundred bucket shops out of existence.

But As far a3 can at present be gathered the fire near the Mail dock was of in cendiary origin, tbe evident intention being to involve tbe Company's prop erty in its spread. On the arrival of tbe first detachment of citizens a crowd numbering about 10,000 had gathered. The wharves, lumber and coal yards io wbicb the fire was raging were surrounded oa the land side by a fence running near the bottom of a steep hill leading op to St Mary's Hospital. On top of this bill a crowd had gathered. While a portion of them attempted to set fire to the fence, the police and citizens attempted to drive them off, and were met br a shower of stones from tbe II. Tne bill was then stormed ia tbe face cf a bo: fusilade of ttoaes. and tbe mob began firing pistols. Tbe force answered with a volley, and getting to close quarters used tbeir clubs with telling effdct. In tbe charge a young man, the note teller in the London and San Franc'sco Bank, fell, probably fatally wounded. Another citizen is report ed shot dead, aad a great many were wounded more or less seriously by stones and pistol ' shots. It is im possible to ascertain tbe lose of tbe rioters. Several are reported killed aod wounded, but nothing is definite ly known. At least one shots were fired into tbe mob. About Now Stock. ONE PRICE. All goods positively sold at BOTTOM PRICES.
