THE SrRIKE,-The Pottsyille Journal, OF Satur.
day last, says We have but little to add TO the
facts which we gave in last in reference TO the
strike of the miners Of this region, for eight hours
os days work, and for an increase of wages. The
turnout commenced fortnight since at Ashland and
in the Mahanoy Valley, (not at Mount Carmel and
Locust Gap,) and extended until on Tuesday last
the eoieries In tho western end Of the county were
stopped. Tho strike is now general, and is likely
to continue until an improvement in prices will
warrant concession to the demands of the men For
it is certain that only advance Of prices will
rant reduction in tho hours of labor and On in.
crease Of the wages of the miners
IL is in connection with this subject due 10 Tho
miners and operators of this region, to state that
many Of the dispatches which have been transmit.
ted during the past fortnight to the papers of Phil.
adelpbia and Now York, have had no foundation in
fact The statements were in the main simply alb
surd and ridiculous. There was no rioting on tho
part of tho strikers, "a number of men marched In
body to the different coiories, and compelled tho
men to cease work, which is the usual mode of Sc
curing general strikes adopted in the coal regions,
We have made inquiry, but saunot learn that there
has been any destruction Of property, and the mi
ners are now psaceabe and orderly) and the opera
tors had no hand in sending those dispatches for
speculative purposes The fact is that the wild and
unfounded statements were sent broadcast, by some
verdant (as far as acquaintance with this region is
concerned) attaches of the Philadelphia press who
were here last week. They caught up all the idle
which one can hear at almost any hour of the
day, on the streets, and transmitted them verta-
bio facts, garnished by their rcportoria imagina-
tons The statements were simply prcposterous,

SOUP FOR THE DESTITUTE.

The sufferings of the destitute andpoverty strlck
en- people of the South, have at last excited sym
pathetic chord in the hearts of the obdurate body
composing the present Congress of the United
States; and, in spirit of tender charity, they have
proposed to compensate US for the tax on cotton
which is still exacted, by giving us the remains o
certain vegetables and grasses that were put up BY
army contractors some years ago. for the use of the
United States Army. However thankful we ought
to feel for these small favors, we must confess thai
experience during certain raids on United States
army wagons during the war, taught us that the
'dessicated vegetables were not, even in those
hungry days, very desirable reinforcement to
haversaek. Our soldiers found them by the ton
in the captured camps of the enemy, and from the
indifference manifested by their owners towards Sc
curing them from hungry rebels, we must thins
that the United States troops did not entertain {
very high opinion of their value.
The favor Of these decoctions may have i'm
proved for the better, however, by their confne
ment in the vaults of the Commissary store-rooms
for the past three years, and lump Of the concen
made into soup, would no doubt, defer starvation
for while at least While we had rather have
rations of hog and hominy, with less reconstruc
ton, it becomes us to take the best can get anc
under the circumstances if any of the 'dessicatet
vegetables" should come round this way, we ad
wise oil who can do so, to obtain their share, ane
learn the art of making it into soup.
