The NeaOGrk Mercury of Friday last says
About noon yesterday, large number of men
employed upon the Bergan tunnel proceeded
to the Erie Railroad, near the Slaughter house,
and blocked up the track with huge rocks tiles
and other distractions, completely clogging the
way of travel and preventing the trains from
passing and repassing. The Patterson train.
due at Jersey City about half-past twelve, was
the first train thus stopped. When being re-
quested by the employees of the train to allow
them to pass the Infatuated men threatened to
inhict personal violence upon the first man who
dared attempt a removal of the distractions.
They were armed with clubs, and pointed to
piles of stones in the neighborhood to back their
threats. A train was subsequently sent up, and
the passengers were taken up and carried to
Jersey City.
The tunnel men have been reasoned with by
Mr.. Seymore, and other authorities of the work
but to no avail. The men appear to persist in
their mad course. The cause of the tumult ap-
pears to be on account of failure on the part
OF the contractor to pay the men on Thursday, a
months wages being due them. Mr. Seymore
informed them on that day that he could not
obtain the money until the 1st of next month
They threaten to tear up the tracks unless the
money is forthcoming this afternoon.
Mr. Seymore proceeded to New York at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon to endeavor to raise
funds, but if he were unsuccessful it was expec-
ted that the military would be called out to
protect the N. 7. 4 Erie Co. in removing the
distractions, so as to allow the trains to pass,
and if necessary to drive the rioters from the
place.

The San Juan Difficulty.

The occupation of the Island of San Juan by
the American troops under General Harvey,
together with the possible collision with Her
Maiesty's forces, now excite the public mind
considerably, though it is believed by many that
the dispute in regard to the surveys under the
treaty, will be amicably settled by the proper
authorities.
The surveys at the State Department, OF the
waters between Vancouver Island and the con-
tinent, show three channels. The centre one
Douglas is not very deep, and runs zigzag
through sort of archipelago of islands That
near the continent, Rosario and that near Van
couver's Island, Haro, are both excellent. Our
government takes the position that the channel
nearest Vancouver was meant as the line of d.
vision by the treaty, for the reason that we
generally allow DETECTION southwardly of the
boundary line along the forty ninth parallel, SO
as to give all of that island to Great Britain.
The British minister declines going behind
the treaty, but refers to its first article as fol-
lows: " The line of boundary shall be continued
westward along the forty ninth parallel of north
latitude to the middle of the channel which
separates the continent from Vancouver's Is
land, and thence sontherly through the middle
of said channel and of Bucas straits to the Pa
cific ocean; provided however, that the naviga-
south of the forty ninth parallel of north latitude
remain free and open to both parties"
Upon the question, it is admitted that much
may be said on both sdes if the word channel
in the treaty be construed in the sense that we
speak Of the British Channel, &C., then it may
mean the middle of the body of water lying be-
tween the continent and Vancouvers Island.
San Juan island lies west of line thus drawn
Lieut.. Gen. Scott has been selected by the
authorities at Washington as Commissioner to
settle the impending difficulties; and in accord
ance with his instructions sailed for Oregon last
week. Gen. Scott is seventy three years old,
and although he has evinced an unusual amount
of fore thought and prudence in the settlement
of National difficulties he is nevertheless unable
to stand the dangers and inclemences of such a
lengthy voyage.

ing dispatches to the British Legation at Wash

Majesty's government from Governor Douglas
on the same subject. The hot Drained British
Governor, with his companions arms, may
have collision with our troops in that quar-
ter, before the arrival of dispatches from tn,
governments, and on this account news from
that quarter is eagerly sought for.

REMARKABLE learn from gentleman,
well acquainted with the facts that some time
in March last, an old gentleman, residing for
many years in Davie, was sitting in his house, a
few feet from an open window, when dove flew
in and alighted on his shoulder. He kept his
seat, but called to his daughter, who was in an
adjoining ROOM to come quickly. She came in,
and pointing at the bird, he told her to take it
off and put it in cage, and take care of it as
long as it lived She gently lifted the bird off
and Gagged it as directed, her father remarking
to her at the same time, " My race is nearly
over; I shall die in two weeks" He was then
in ordinary health but, strange tossay he died
that day two weeks. The bird is yet in its cage,
and in the possession of the family, who regard
it with feelings Of peculiar sadness. Sails bury
