As long 'us the boatinen did not seem disposed to , do any' other damage than to sttspetul operation.% on the canal, it was not the with of any' one to ,use military force. But 'when s writs were sued out to recover, possession of certain boats, offenders Screen ed 'from apprehension, a file.takeu, and the laws set at iiought by resistidg and foiling the Sheriffizt_his.. etkrts to perform his duty, it was found necessary' to calf out a force sufficiently strong to remove the evil and restore order. This the Sheriff succeeded in- accomplishing on Monday last, by marching over with la Strong posse and two military companies un der Capt. Yohe and Capt. Horn. The military and UrvilforCe arrived at the'out let lock of the 3.lath Chunk Canal, at about 10 o'clock.' At this point the principal blockade of the ' public highway existed.' The boats, not qtrly closed the entrance of the canal, but formed a bridge across the Lehigh to Easton. Thousang.of citiiens of bcith sexes, occupied the hills on both sides of the river, anxiously watching the course of events—fil led with fearful anticipationS that the boatnien wtnild resist, and,sonie lives be sacrificed. But no oppositten - Was offered—the'. military remained drawn Up in'a line oW, the tow-path,-white the Sher iff and his, posse took possession of the boats, land cleared the passage up the canal. Several persons were found in the boats, against whom the Sheriff• had wairants,' who were arrested. Sonia fire arms found hi cabins were-also-taken possession of. Having cleared the obstructions at this'poinkthe Sheriff with part of his posse and Capt. Horn's Company , proceeded up tie_ canal .as far as Free retiwned the evening,•litiv•Mg'ef fectually accouiplished his purpose without oppo sition from any quarter.

The nnviga6on is now unobstructed, and we hope it may donutte so—the evils which have grown out d. this " strike," are ninny and will be fet for some thac to come. The boatmen have fe doubt learned by _this time that nothing is gained by CQ ercive Measures and resistance to the authority of the law, and since their "encampment" is broken up, those who have loplecl boats will proceed, and deliver their Cargoes,land those whos* Boats are empty, to rettirn them to where they procured them, and there is no doubt the several campanies in whdsel employ they are, will flgTee with them sprite rate of fte4t which Tpli be satisfactory to all concerned.
