sI@We learn from a letter by one of the
last steamers published in the New York
Tribune, that, notwithstanding The war cry
raised by the London pagers against Amer
lea, no mass meeting OF the working peo-
pie has BEEN heldsin any iof Che. large cities
or country towns, at which resolutions
were passed sanctioning the course Of their
papers or the government At large
meeting held at Newcastle-on-th -the-Tyne, res
olutions were passed condemning the course
of the papers, and recommending a concili-
atory policy toward our government The
conduct of the British working classes show
that their sympathies are with the most
popular government on earth, and if not
hood winkedb by the wiles of artfuI leaders,
they will ever stand true to us in this our
hour of adyersity. All honor to John
Bright, Mr. Cobbett, and the class they repre-
sentt Their. manly defense of our people,
apd the faitb they have ever entertained and
expressed in our ability to- ontride the
storm OF insHrrection and revolution by
which We are buffeted, have won them a
pIacein the hearts OF the American people
next to the institutions for which we are
battling, ana which these noble men so
much admire.

pnr,ng of union omcera.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
Charleston Courier states that three Federal
officers, disguised as oystermen, paid New
Orleans visit on the 9Th ultimo. What
was to be accomplished by the hazardous
adventure, the correspondent is at a loss to
comprehend, unless it was TO communicate
directly with the stationary spies, who, he
acknowledges existlin the city and perhaps
TO witness the spectacle Of the celebration of
the anniversary on the s'h, with a view of
measuring the rebel military strength. Be-
fore leavingi one of the Union officers
dropped a note in the Post-office to rebel
military officer with whom he was formerly
acquainted, bantering him upon the laxity
of their guard, and promising another call
at an early day, under circumstances not
eonstraining disguise.
The cool impudenee of these Federal Off
GERS appears to worry the rebels not a little.

I have just returned from Hartley New
Pit, where two hundred meu and boys are
buried The shaft, has been closed up
through the huge beam of the pumping en-
gine falling down the pit yesterday. It
carried the timber and the wood work down,
and thus blocked the up and down shafts.
The falling timber killed FIVE out of eight
men, who were being drawn up in cage
at tha time The men and lads working
below at the time of the accident have been
buried forty eight hours, notwithstanding
the greatest exertions to relieve them on the
part Of the ablest men in the coal trade
The working seam is filling with water,
and no doubt the horses, which are worth
5000, are already drowned. The men and
lads, however. could escape by means of
ladder to the Yard Seam, which is forty
nine fathoms HIGHER, and out of reach of
water. Men have been heard trying to clear
the distractions in the shaft from below, to-
night, and no doubt is entertained that they
are all out of danger of water at least.
Means have been employed for securing
coed ventilation, and was assured by the
best authorities, before left tonight, that
the strongest hopes may be entertained that
the yard seam would be reached, and the
men and lads rescued before morning,
Great excitement prevails, and numerous
pitmen's wives have been at the pit mouth,
watching since last night. sa

their families suffer privations which

The N. Y. Tribune's account of the battle
thus speaks of the action of the 10th:
At least six regiments formed the rebel
right, and pressed first on the 10th Indiana;
but this brave regiment had learned to
know the fighting metal of the rebels at
Rich Mountain, in Western Virginia, and
could not be made to yield an inch even to
such fearful odds. The gallant Hoosiers-
fortunately protected somewhat by the trees
from the hostile fre-stood steadily and
fearIessly, pouring voiley after volley into
the rebels responding to the secession yells
with. defiant cheers; fighting fonr times
their number for nearly an hour ard a half
and not yielding an inch, in spite of con-
stspt and fearful hail of lead, until their
annnlunition became exhausted, when they
were ordered to give way to the End Min
nesota. This they did with composed and
unbroken ranks, bringing off their dead
and wounded, whose number proved the
fearful trial they, had undergone.
A correspondent of the Louisville Jour
nal, writing from Somerset to. correct some
false reports in regard to the forces engaged
in the battle, and the credit given them by
the press, pays the following handsome
compliment to Col Manson of the Tenth
the acting Brigadier;
The Tenth Indiana, Fourth Kentucky,
Second Minnesota, Ninth Ohio and VOL
ford's Cavalry all fought equally we'll
Never did men fight better or achieve a
more glorious victory. Each regiment came
up just at the time and dealt just the right
sort of blows. The absence of either regi-
ment from the battle would have turned the
scales against US. All candid men will ad-
NIT this to be true. If were to single ont
any officer as having contributed immeas-
urably to the victory, and probably more
than any other man, it would be Colonel
Manson, Commanding the Second Brigade.
1t was that accomplished officer who saved
the left flank of our little army by ordering
| up Col. Fry, of the Fourth Kentucky, to
meet the enemy's right. 1t was Col. NJ.
who observed the danger of being Outflank-
| ed on the right, and requested Col. MeCook
to come up with his brigade on the right
which was done in magnificent style. He
seemed to comprehend the whole plan o.
attack and defence, and was everywhere or
| the battle field encouraging the Union boy:
| to meet the enemy. He exhibited in tn.
| battle of the 10th inst. those same higl
qualities as a military commander whicl
won for him the proud title of the Hero o
Rich Mountain. |, who say this, am no
an indanian, but Kentuckiau.
