END OF THE PITTSBURG STRIKE.

The difficulties between the manufacturers and
laborers Of Pi,tsburg have at length been amcably
settled at least for the present The terms of COM
promise will appear from the following official rec
ord:
"At a large meeting of the operatives Of the diff
ferent cotton factories in Allegheny city, held at the
Ark on the l7th instant, called by committee of
their body, upon whose invitation the proprietors
also attended, Mr.. John Marshall was appointed
chairman, and Mr.. John Dyer secretary The
meeting being thus organized, the following ques-
tons were put to the proprietors, viz:
"a. Are the manufacturers willing to adopt the
ten-hour SYSTEM If becomes general in the United
Statesl
."2. Ifihe hands 60 to work under the old sys-
tenn, will you dismiss any for continuing their ef-
forts to obtain the establishment of the ten-hour
system throughout the coantry'
49,. Are the manufacturers willing to start their
mills on Monday morning next, if they can each
get one hundred hands,
(which being answered satisfactorily, the pro-
prietors withdrew. Whereupon il was moved and
seconded that the hands present agree 60 to work
on Monday morning next; which motion, after dis
cussion, was decided in the affirmative
"JOHN MARSHALL, Chairman.
"JoHN DYER, Secretary.
"OcroBER II, 1645"
when will the great body of the manufacturers
adopt the ten-hour SYSTEM How is it to be made
general? The Indian astronomers accounted for the
stability of the globe by saying that it stood the
back Of ,o.t5ise, and that again on the back Of an
elephant. But what did the elephant stand oni
The astronomers could not tell. 1t was a problem
they had never considered.

TRIAL OF COL. DAVENPORT'S MURDER
ERS-THEIR CONVICTION.

We learn from Rock Island, that the grand jury
at their session last week, found true bills agains
Burch Baxter, the two Longs, and Young, for the
murder of Col. George Davenport, the 4th Of Ju.
ly last. On Wednesday Of that week, Young and
the two Longs were put on their trial. The court
appointed three members of the bar TO act as their
counsel. Nearly three days were occupied in the
trial. On Friday evening, the case was given to the
jury, and verdict of guilty of murder rendered
against each Of them On Saturday morning, they
were brought into court, and sentenced to be hung
on the 29th Of the present month. Full and volun-
tary disclosures have been made by Burch, in the
hope Of being permitted to become States evidence,
with chance for pardon; but SO complete was the
testimony, independent Of his confession, that he
would be put upon his trial, and doubt suffer the
fate of those already condemned In his case, and
that of Baxter and the two Redings, motion was
pending for change Of venue, the argument Of
which was not concluded when our informant left.
II was supposed that the change of venue would be
granted; in which case, their trial was to have ta-
ken place in Carroll county on Monday last The
was conducted by Messrs. Knox,
Grant, Mitchell, and Cook.
