ANOTHER PRINTERS STRIKE. - The
compositors in the Office of the Buffalo
Express got on strike on Monday, and
the senior editor took his stand at the
case" In the leading editorial he
says
awe expect to suffer by this action,
but we cannot consent except as der
nier resort, perhaps, to surrender all
our rights and interests to the custody
and caprices of our employees. We re-
spect the compositor equally with any
other aid in prosecuting our business,
and it has been our purpose to fully re-
ward his labor, and hence we have Of
tered neither provocation nor justifica-
ton for this wanton attempt to embar-
rass and damage our business, because
we reserve to ourselves some little con-
troll over our business"

The Riot at DAYTON. Ohio.

We find in the Dayton (Ohio) Journal
full particulars of the riot in that city
on the day previous. 1t appears that
about twenty soldiers of the 44th Ohio
regiment went to the Office of the Day
ton Empire and began to destroy the
printing materials of the establishment,
which is a secesh concern. Several
prominent Union citizens, hearing of
the demonstration, at once repaired to
the spot, and after much exertion sue
ceeded in pacifying the rioters and in
duced them to disperse. The rioters re-
tired as far as the court house. where
their captain, named Badger, who is said
to have been intoxicated, addressed them
in very inflammatory manner. The
fire bells were rung, and great crowd
assembled. The gentlemen who had
been instrumental in staying the de-
struction of the Empire Office again APP
peared as peacemakers and addressed
the crowd in judicious manner, and
evidently with excellent effect, but while
one OF them was telling the soldiers
that government had called them into
the service to suppress the rebellion and
sustain and defend the Constitution and
the laws, a notorious copperhead polti-
clan in the assemblage, named Maxwell,
cried out, "and the Riggey," which at once
aroused the Indignation of the soldiers,
and they made rush to avenge the I'M
provoked insult Maxwell retreated.
discharging a pistol, wounding soldier
severely in one hand. Firing then be-
came frequent, and suddenly number
of men in citizens clothes spread them
selves like line of skirmishers across
several OF the streets, and opened a
reckless and wanton fire with revolvers,
directly into the defenceless crowd of
men, women and children. One man,
Daniel Garlic a peaceful spectator, was
killed, a soldier was dangerously wound |
ed, and several other persons were in
jured. The firing lasted only two or
three minutes, but the excitement was
intense. The Mayor ordered all drink

in response to request of the citizens, |
out several companies of the I'd |
militia regiment to preserve the peace.
At sunset all was quiet. Capt. Badger |
was arrested and gave bonds to appear
for trial. The Journal says the firing |
was all done by copperheads, and that |
the responsibility for the riot and loss !
of life rests with them. The man who
was killed leaves a family of eleven |

GEN. SHgRMAS's ExPgDIrIoN.-A spe-
cial to the Cincinnati Gazette says that
Gen, Grant on his way east, in CONVEX
sation with distinguished Ohio officer,
expressed himself entirely satisfied with
the situation of military affairs, He
spoke in the highest terms of Gen, Sher-
mans expedition, which had given the
rebellion the severest blow since the cap
ture of Vicksburg, Gen. Sherman has
DESTROYED forage and provisions enough
to subsist the rebel army from three to
six months. In one place Gen. Sher-
man destroyed over 100000 worth of
property. In other places he destroyed
immense stores. Thousands of bushels
of corn, and large quantities of wheat
were set on fire and consumed. He
brought in large droves of cattle, seve-
raj thousand head of mules, 5000 ne
groes, and over 400 prisoners, with tri-
fling loss of men and materials on our
side In addition to this, by the des-
truction of very important railroad lines,
Gen. Sherman has released Gen. McPher-
sons Corps from doing guard duty
along the Mississippi, and restored them
to service"
A Washington dispatch says it is UNI
derstood in well informed quarters that
Gen. Sherman's expedition was not in
tended to operate against Mobile or
Atlanta, as was so repeatedly asserted
but that it was for the express purpose
of cutting off the rebel supplies and i'm
poverishing the section of country in
which he operated a work which the
rebel papers attest he successfully ac-
complished.

TRLRoRAPHIo INCIDENT. - MIR. Gray,
whose recent escape from Rebellion we
have spoken of, related to us telegraph
ic incident of the late rebel attack on
our small force south of Newbern, North
Carolina, which is worth repeating. On
reaching the railroad running from New
bern to Beaufort, N, c., the rebels cut the
telegraphic wire, and a rebel operator
connected an instrument with the wire
to Beaufort for the purpose OF acquir-
ing useful Information of our forces
there. He informed the federal opera
tor at the latter place, that the rebels
had attacked us (the federal soldiers) in
overwhelming numbers, and asked what
forces could be sent from Beaufort to
our (federal) assistance. The Beaufort
operator at once suspected that a
stranger was on the wire from differ
ence insthe manner of handling the in
strument, and communicated his sus-
picions to the federal officers at Beau
fort. The following message in sub
stance was sent back addressed, ostensi-
bly,, to our officers Hold on for an
hour; division is now landing here,
and we can send you all the troops you
want Immediately" Upon receiving
this intelligence, the rebels concluded it
was best to "skedaddle," and skedad-
died accordingly.
Mr. G. informs us, by the way that a
slight error occurred in our statement of
his recent escape from Rebellion. The
attack on our troops, spoken of, occurred
few days before Mr.. Gray got across
the river from Swansboro, instead of
after his arrival within our lines, as
stated,

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. - The ex
change of prisoners has been resumed
under Gen. Buffers negotiations. Six
hundred federal prisoners, including AZ
officers, arrived at Annapolis on Wednes-
day The rebels claim that it is under
the old cartel, and that the questions of
negro soldiers and Buffers recognition
are still in allegiance. Nevertheless,
Butler seems to be conducting the ex-
change.

THE FLORIDA ExPEDITIoN.-AJa Jackson
vile correspondent of the New York
Post ascribes the recent disaster to our
forces in-Florida to the too confiding
treatment Of the inhabitants by General
Seymour. All trade restrictions were
removed at Jacksonville, in order to en-
courage the business men of Florida to
resume trade under the old flag. On ia
ing the oath of allegiance people were
allowed to come and go freely through
out the lines, and doubtless many spies
were thus enabled to obtain important
information relative to the strength of
our forces and their intended move
ments. The impression became general,
made by the reports of this class of per-
sons, that we should not encounter the
rebels in force till we reached Tallahas-
see. The writer says:
"In the mean time the vigilant enemy
had pushed a strong force down ten
miles this side Of Lake City, and formed
in an important strategic point, an in
trenched camp, covering rifle pits. This
had been done so quietly, so skilfully
and secretly, that our officers knew moth
ing of it till they found themselves in
the nicely prepared ambuscade. Whilst
on the march, many companies not hav-
ing their guns loaded, much of the ar
tillery empty, and with scouts and Skin
mishers but a short distance in advance
of the main force, our army was greeted
with shot, shell, grape and canister,
and we were in such close range that
the gunners to some of our artillery
were killed with buckshot, whilst load
ing their guns for the first time in the
action.
All along the route General Seymour
had treated the citizens like friends and
brothers, but not one was believed
among all who had informed him of the
preparations that had been made to re-
ceive him at Olustee. Persons claiming
to be deserters came in and informed us
that there were not five thousand rebel
soldiers in Florida-that nearly all had
gone to reinforce Jonston, preparatory
to an an assault upon Grant at Chatta-
nooga. We now know that Immediate
ly on our landing in Jacksonville, Beau
regard sent troops from Savannah,
SHdIiCStOL, AJidiIlit, anu Cdllcu Ill all Inc
small attachments General Finnegan
had in Florida for the purpose of saving
the State
A strenuous attempt has been made
by the copperheads to fix the RESPONSE
bility of the disaster upon President
Lincoln, asserting that he ordered it for
political purposes. This is authorita-
lively contradicted, and no one believed
it before. The Washington Republican
says:
ave can positively state, from official
information which will be laid before
the Committee, that the recent campaign IN
Florida sods indicated, guided and controlled
BY Gen. Gilmore himself, upon consultation
'oiA certain neral obfeers, soho Joined NTH the
General IN obtaining the Presidents consent to
its execution. Gen. Gilmore will not hes
itate to confirm this statement. The re-
sponsibility of the defeat at Olustee rests
upon Gen. Seymour, who commanded
our forces in that battle. In the true
sense of the word, the responsibility is
with Gen. Gilmore, who will not shrink
from assuming it."
