A BURGLARY ON EAGLE STREET.-THE
SUPPOSED BURGLAR ARREsTED.-A house in
the rear Of No. Eagle street was burglari.
OusIy entered few nights since and $l:5 in
bank notes and $50 in gold taken from it.
Suspicion fell on young man by the name
of Michael Murray, puddler's assistant at
the Iron and Nail Works, from the fact that
his sister had been employed as hired girl
in the house whence the money was stolen,
and had known the amount of money and
the place where it was kept and also because
the young fellow, though his wages were
small, had been for few days following the
example of the craeksman in the ballad who
"spent his money free" He was accord
ingly arrested, but only SlI was found on
his person, which he asserted to be the re-
mains of $50 which no had been paid for
work. But the police, on inquiry, feund that
no such sum had been paid him by his en-
ployers, and that he had spent much more
within few dsys,-buying a suit Of clothes
and paying $50 for them, lending S25, taking
a lot of eronies on a ride and footing tho
bills, etc. The money spent amounts to al
most the ezact sum in bank notes which was
taken, and as there is no trace of the lad
having spent any gold, it is suspected that
he has concealed it. He is Only sixteen or
seventeen years Of ago.

Information leads US to believe that
Bragg's army has been weakened. recently
for some purpose not yet ascertained.
Longstreeps headquarters are estsb.
lished on Lookout Mountain, which is held
by a strong force.
II is estimated the rebels expended Sl4,-
900 worth Of ammunition from Lookout
Mountain, killing one federal soldier and
woundiDg smother; both casualties on the
West valley. II deserters from Kentucky
rebel regiments came in to-day. They
report their whole regiment ready to fol-

The afternoon train from Columbus arrived
an hour late yesterday, bringing mp over one
hundred convalescent soldiers for the U. S.
Hospital at Camp Cleveland. These men
hsge been lying at Camp Chase for some
time back, being parOled prisoners, and now
having received their paroles, are sent to
Camp Cleveland to recover from wounds and
illness. They formed sad procession
these poor feIlows-as they disembsrked
from the train and hObblod by. Upon each
some battle had left its stern and cruel
stamp. One carries an arm in a sling, ,anOth-
er Iimps along on erutohes, others bear the
ghastIy witness OF their bravery in some
wound on the face or body, the hectic cheeks,
the sunken eyes, the emacistsd forms of
others are eloquent Of silent snd courageous
suffering. Almost every Chic regiment has
its representative in this motley group.
Among these men you can find some witness
of and participant in every Western battle
of the war, from Donaldson to Chicamauga.
That brODzsd soldier fought at PerryvilIe,
this one was wounded at Stone River. That
slight boy was captured at Corinth, this
gray bearded corporal will tell you the story
of Pittsburgh Landing from his own expert
cncs. Aye, they are ia Uttered and dirty, fine
ladies and gen.Ienen sll,-OOmmon soldiers,
rough in speech and manner, sick, weary,
wounded. But here you find a courage, a
devotion, patient fOrtitude that is Poetical'
heroic, sublime. It is fitting to greet them
with respect, to care fer them with liberal
kindness.

Strange Movements Of Bragg.
FROlI PHILaDRLPHIA.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 6.
The Enquirer and the Bulletin of this
City, have reports Of terrible riot in the
coal regions around Msuch Chunk. Four
men it is reported were killed last evening,
including Mr.. Smith, Of the firm Of Hull,
Csrlies s. Co., Of this city. Governor Cur
tin it is stated, has been tslsgrsphed to for
troopS to quell the disturbance.
Thomas Hull, of the firm Of Hull, Smith
s Csrlies, has received despatch from
Summit, Pennsylvania, that George Smith
Of that firm, has been shot down By the
rioters. Mr.. Ulrieh, store-keeper, was
also fred at by the rioters and wounded.
The reports OF the Bulletin and Enquirer
are thus confirmed of difficulties in the
coal regions.
1t is not believed by The principal coal
men in this city that The riot at Msuch
Chunk is of serious character. Mr..
Smith, who was killed, has incurred the
hatred of the Irish miners by his opposi-
tion to their secret organization, which
had for its object the exclusion Of ell
the WOrkmen Of other countries. A Welsh
man was recently found dead in the mines,
having been shot it is supposed. Smith
was shot while travelling from the mines
to Evansville.
A force of military has been in that vi
einity some time, enforcing the draft and
srresting deserters.
The telegraph line between Mauoh
Chunk and EastOn being down, direct COM
muhication cannot be obtained.
- MAUOH CHUNK, November 5.
Last night Mr.. c. H. Smith, coal opera
tor at Yorktown, was murdered in the
most brutel manner in his house, in the
presence Of his family, BY a gang Of Irish
outlaws, known as Buokshots. Mr.. Smith
was loyal and highly respected GENTLE
man, and was suspected of giving certain
information 10 the deputy Provost Mar
shsl By which the latter with the military
was enabled to arrest the drafted men. No
Union mans life is safe in GAINESVILLE,
Yorktown, Deloraine, Beaver Meadows,
and other mines Of The middle coal field.
Seven or eight murders we're committed
there within the last four weeks
