A Female Strike.
From the Pittsburg Commercial, 4th.

Some weeks since it was announced in
the Commercial that the proprietors of the
various cotton mills in Allegheny had de
cided to reduce the wages of their employ
ces twenty per cent, owing to the decline
in the prices of goods manufactured BY
them. The subject was first broached in
the Anchor mill about the first of July, and
work was suspended for a week in order to
repair the building and machinery. The
matter was held in abeyance until Saturday
when the operators in the different mills
were notified that the proposed reduction
would 60 into effect on Monday. Yesterday
morning the employees in the Eagle mill
assembled at the hour for commencing work
when meeting was held, which resulted
in the Inauguration of strike. The girls
| to the number of about one hundred
| formed in procession and marched to the
| Anchor mills, on Robinson street, which
| they attacked with stones, demolishing sew.
eral windows. They appeared to be very
hostile to the proprietors of this establish
| ment, saying that the project for rcduc
ton of the wages emanated from them.-
During the excitement which ensued, Z
number of the employees of the Anchor
mills ioined the crowd outside, and were
received with cheers. The procession ther
reformed and marched to the Pcdn mill
on the bank Of the Allegheny River, ant
succeeded in securing portion Of the EN-
ployees Of that establishment to join will
them. BY this time the excitement hat
spread throughout the entire city, and ;
large crowd of persons congregated, Wit
/ cheared the strikers and advised them no
to resume work until their employers ac
ceded to their terms. The police were thel
sent for, when the crowd dispersed, and tht
girls. being fearful that their demonstra
! ton would be construed into a riot, re
sumed work at the reduced prices. The.
do not, however, appear to be satisfied
and it is probable that the matter has no
vet been definitely settled. The manager
Of the mills state that in case the girls ar
not willing TO work at the reduced prices
they will close their establishments until
improvement takes place in the cotto
goods market.

EXPLOSION OF A STEAM BoILER-7ro
Men KHled-Fiue Others Badly I5ued.-
On Thursday morning last terrible explo-
sion occurred in Lison & Dotys lumber
and shingle mill on the Kewaunce road,
about IL miles east of this place, in the
town of Humboldt. The mill had two
boilers. one of which was nearly new, and
the other an old one-the latter of which
was the one that burst. 1t blew out q
piece of tho head, crushing through par
tition into the shingle packing room, where
a number was at work. Two men whose
names we did not learn, were so badly in
jured that they died few hours afterward;
and five more are regarded as dangerously
scalded. The part of the mill in which
they were at work seems to have been
closed up SO they could no. escape, and
their injuries are internal, from inhaling
the steam. Some of them were also scald-
ed with the hot water thrown from the
boiler.
The mill is the one more generally known
as the Burkhard & Klaus mill, and had re.

R8~It is said that several Italian resi-
dents of New York contemplate introducing
on our race tracks the system of racing SO
common in Florence and Rome, running
horses without riders. A thong of leather
is attached to the girths Of the animals; on
this thong, at various distances, tri-pointed
spurs are placed, and as the horse dashes
forward these spurs strike on his fanks,
and the greater his speed the more he is
goaded along.

Is North-G Carolina a State 2-Ssntinsl.


Is North Carolina State 2-Sentine.
n Certainly she is, so far as her name and
boundaries are concerned But President
johnson holds that she lost her government
/ BY rebellion, and, as commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, he enabled her to form
another government, subject to the accep-
tance orrejectien of the law making power,
/ that is, the Congress. The Congress, after
mature reflection determined to reject this
new government set up under martial law
H,had the right to accept, and it had the
; right to reject If it had accepted, all in
fornalities or irregularities in the work of
reorganization under the President would
have been cured, and the State, by being adj
mitted to representation in Congress, would
have been placed again on the same footing
4 with New York and Ohio. .-
But, as Congress has thought proper to
pursue this course, it follows that the present
State organizations are simply de .taeto in
their character, and do not exist de juas, or
fright; and Congress will, therefore, in due
time take the necessary steps to supersede
them, by permitting all the loyal people,
white and black, to form a new government
preparatory to the admission of the State to
its former position and privileges in the
I Union. .a ts ,Ft..
But Judge Ruffin holds and Judge Ruff
fin is in high favor with Gov. Worth and the
Sentinel that the State did not lose its
government by the rebellion; that, therefore,
its old officers are still entitled to their places
and that the President, in recognizing the
State, acted the part of usurper and tiespot.
This is Judge Ruffin's view. He regards the
State as not only "a State" but as a rebel
State. In one sense we think he is right
With its present organization it as much a
rebel State as it was when Gov Vance i'm
prisoned women and children to punish them
for their Union principles, and when the hor-
rible CONSUMPTION forced thousands of our
best men, in ropes and handouts, to suffer
ing, battle, and death.
By the way, it seems to US the President Of
the United States exhibited remarkable con.
I descension in receiving and conversing with
Judge Ruin, when the latter visited Wash.
ington with Gov. Worth in relation to that
whipping business. The Judge, with Gov
Worth, had been conspicuous in the work Of
defeating the Presidents plan" in this
| State, and the former had characterized thu
President (under whose hand and seal HI
held his pardon as a traitor,) as despot ant
usurper. Verify. our worthy President i
