Riot among the Miners.

HARRISBURG, Oct. "a.
The Governor has been officially notified of
the troubles in Schuylkill county, which have
assumed a formidable aspect. Over 5000 riot
ers have armed themselves with guns, pistols
and other weapons, and are reported to have
committed some outrages. They assert that
they will fight desperately. The cause of the
outbreak is determined resolution on the
part OF the miners to resist the impending
draft. The rioters are nearly all armed with
bludgeons, guns, pieces OF iron, swords, and
every other variety of arms. 1t will require
at least two regiments and battery to quell
the tunult. The riot is said to have originat-
ed in Cass township, Schuylkill county. The

State either the alternative of not drafting or
of remaining entirely unsupplied with coal
from this region.

Journal of Commerce gives the following in
teresting statement as to the sales of Sea Is
land cotton on government account during
the last season.
"The amount of government Sea Island cot
ton brought to this port during the past season
was nearly 2000 bales, and the sum realized
from its sale about 100000. Recent advices
from Port Royal state that the new crop is be-
ginning to come in, and promises well. The
first cargo may be expected to arrive here
within fortnight. The entire cotton crop
this fall, from the Carolina Sea Islands, is esti-
mated at not less than $500 bales. This has
grown and will be gathered under tie direc-
tion OF the government. A small portion only
will be ginned on the spot All the rest Of it
will be brought to New York, and given out
to those contractors who have already been
engaged in ginning for the government.

New York at $3.50 this p. M.
Mr.. Gladstone's strong language regarding
the South continues TO be the prominent theme
of newspaper comment.
1t is asserted that the British and French
governments have lost no time in announcing
their resolution to persist in the policy of per-
feet neutrality. 1t is also asserted that there
is no likelihood of an immediate recognition.
1t is reported that the Liverpool Southern
Association and Liverpool Chamber of Com
merce, influenced by Gladstones remarks, will
memorialize the government in favor of re-
cognizing the South.
The city article of the Times says that the
commercial classes of London are as strongly
opposed as ever to any action on the part of
the government towards formal recognition
OF the South. and hints that the desire for re-
cognition comes rather from the North than
the South.
The Daily News replies to the structures up
on President Lincolns proclamation, and de-
tends it from the odium sought to be cast up
on it,
Sir John Packipgton, in speech, said he
thought the time had come when England and
France, and probably Russia, ought to offer
mediation in America on the basis of separa-
dous anu vi Clcdi iudl IL tutlT
mediation is not accepted, recognition must
follow.
Sir Z. Bulwer Lytton, in a recent speech,
said he looked upon restoration of the Union
as impossible, and thought that slavery would
not long survive the separation.
Gov Minshead Is to be feasted by the South
erners in Liverpool.
The Lord Mayor of London declines to let
the Garibaldian meeting be held at Gudhall.
The police have prohibited further Garibaldian
meetings in Hyde Park.
The monthly returns of the Bank of France
show decrease in cash of nearly thirty mil

1t is reported that Garbald is offended with
the terms of the amnesty. and has reserved
the right of protesting against it.

The Daily News editorially disputes the idea
that the South would willingly, in the event of

and adduces evidence tending to prove quite
the contrary.
The Morning Post draws parallel between
Mr.. Lincoln's government and that Of the ex-

preceded the downfall of the Neapoltan
throne, and says Francis of Naples failed pur-

on the other side, but short distance off, by
the remaining brigade OF Gen. Couch's old di-

within call if the rebels threaten to exercise
their active propensities north of the railroad

SAD AccIDENT.-Y Yesterday morning, while
our neighbors of the Advertiser were working
off their form, Mr.. George w. Wilson, the
pressnan, got underneath the press to arrange
some part Of the machinery. While doing
this, by some misapprehension, the press was
put in motion, and the right hand of Mr.. Will
son was caught in the 'gooseneck" and hor-
ribly mashed. He was Immediately taken to
the Elm House, where he boarded, ard sur
geons were called, who found it would be nee
essary to amputate the hand above the wrist.
This was skillfully done by DIR. Robinson, as
sisted by Drs. Gilman and Davis. Last eve
ming Mr.. Wilson was comparatively comforta-

Mr.. Wilson is native of Massachusetts, and

term, and verdict rendered for plaintiff, but
which verdict had been set aside by the full

plaintiff expressed their readiness to proceed,
but as Mr.. Smith had supposed that the opin-

for the action, and consequently had not pre-

The Colonel commanding announces with
deep regret to the Regiment that Captain Will
liam l.. Haskell, of Co. G, is no more. He
departed this life at Chambersburg, Pa, Oct.
1862, after painful illness, resulting from
wounds received at the battle of Antietam.
Capt, Haskell joined the Regiment at its
original muster into service August 2lst, 1861,
as First Lieutenant of Co. b, and after sery-
ing honestly and faithfully in that capacity,
was recommended for and promoted to the
Captaincy of Co. G.
A gallant officer, possessed of rare abilities
and Intelligence, high sense of honor, and
above all Christian, he has sacrificed by
his love of duty the life which he had devoted
to the service of his country.
May the Regiment, which has reason to be
proud of so brave a soldier and efficient an
officer, never cease to initiate his many virtues
and manly qualities.
The necessary arrangements for his funeral
will be made by Capt. Hill.
As an appropriate tribute to his memory,
