A correspondent Of the New York Times,
writing from Beaver Meadows, Penn,
states that the murderous outbreak among
the miners Of that rsgion has been effect
ually suppressed by dstsShment Of the
InVAlid Corps, under Capt. Beckwith, and
thirty-fve Of the Thugs arrested. BE adds:
The rufiaDs are ignorant brutal, and
In the msiOrity of instances animal in ap-
Pesrshco and instinct Yet many Of them
exhibit degree Of information derived
from inoendiary mob orators and Low
cunning shArpened by self-interest, which
makes II evident enough that the energetic
measures adopted by Capt. BeckWith are
the only remedies thst can fbe any efficacy.
Proof is abundant that this embryo
rebellion covers wide surface. A few
facts will illustrate this.
On the occasion Of any force arriving at
any point in the township, the result is
Immediately telegrsphed by a series Of
picket shot, for distance Of many miles.
For one week, Capt Yates detachment of
go men was the only force in the township.
On the night of Saturday last, q force es-
timsted at over 1000 armed men, assem-
bled in the brush surrounding the house
Of Mrs. Smith, the temporary heado ouarters
Of the detachment, with the evoWed inten-
ion Of butchering Mr.. Hall, Of fPhiladel-
phis, the partner OF the Mr. Smith, and az
owner Of the most extensive mining lands
in the country. The arrival of a cavalry
force from POttsvilis, sent to reinforce
Capt Yates, was telsgraphed by a success
sion Of sho extending talong line OF four
miles in extent
0ne shot is the signal to disperse their
battalion. Two fred in a rapid success
sion is their Assembly" Sometimes thres
shots are passed down the line, the mean
ing Of which has not yet been developed,
The motive OF the leaders who have be-
gun this Rooursed WoSk ofdesth is undoubt-
edly political. The stoppags Of the coal
supply, or such an advance in its prioc as
would create 8 panic, is the object aimed
ct. Among the rank and file the motive
is rise Of wages and the absolute control
Of the mines. Murder Is but the means, a
mere auxiliary, which, however is used
uuspsringly and unhesitatingly. nNotice
10 quit is almest alWsy served upon the
victim, not in the expectation that be will
leave, but in order to give publicity TO the
system Of terrorism.
. A mere punishment Of these williams will
not prove an effective remedy. While
military force invests this district quiet
will continue. A holy horror Of the bay
onet pervsdes the Hibernian bosom.
Nothing but masked politeness meets a
group Of four men, though a slung shot
and eight or ten ssssssins are the sure
yisitants Of q stray blue coat.
Remove the force, and a Carnival of
bloodshed and riot will reign. The mine
owners are the men who can quiet matters.
Let the Government insure continued pro-
lection to the latter, so that they can clear
the vicinity by the discharge of these ruff
fans, and one third more coal at one third |
less price will replenish the market, and |
the Copperhesd poison which has already |
murdered 60 many good sud true men, will |
be purged from the body polite of Carbon
County.
