AN OUTRAGE.-Night before last,
at Darmstadt, in Scott Township, at
a grocery, q difficulty occurred be-
tween a man named Rooster and one
named Brink. 1t appear that the
difficulty arose about a note given in
consideration of an agricultural inn
pI5ment. After quarreling for some
time, Brink started to leave the house.
when he was set upon by Rooster and
another man, and beaten in a most
shameful manner. His face was badly
bruised, and on his visit to the city
yesterday was badly swollen. His
wounds, though painful, were not
considered dangerous. The offend.
ing parties were arrested by the
Sheriff, and the matter will undergo I
legal investigation.

ALARM OF FIRE.-The alarm of
FIRE, just after dark last night. was
caused by the burning out of q CHM
ney in the building on First Street,
above Walnut, occupied by Captain
Duncan and Mrs. Grammer. For a
few moments the burning SCOT poured
out of the chimney at an alarming
rate, and as the wind was, extremely
b~aisterous, grave apprehensions of a
cOnfagration were entertained for a
brief space Of time. Happily, how
ever, no damage was done. The en-
gines were out, but their use was not
required. Aa

WE PRINT this morning letter from Mr..
D. T. Corbin, in reply to communication
signed 81. NJ. NJ" which was published in
The News of yesterday; and in 30 doing
we take the opportunity of saying that We
fully agree with Mr.. Corbin as to the i'm
propriety and folly of putting up wooden
buildings in the burnt district. We have
had two disastrous confagrations; but there
is no danger of third while we retain our
admirable FIRE department and adhere to
the sound and sensible policy of forbidding
the erection of wooden buildings in the
very heart of the city.

The English Cotton Strikes.

For some time the Lancashire cotton dis
tricts have been in suffering condition, on
account of the high price of the raw mate
rial, which left the manufacturer little Ii
any profit AS it was supposed that sus-
pension of work would produce an accumu-
lation of raw cotton that would force down
the price, it was proposed that the factories
generally should be closed for q few
months. This plan could not be adopted,
but many Of the factories worked short
time, and recently the employers at Pres
ton and other places met and agreed to re-
duce wages from ten to twenty per cent.
The result was strike, that is likely to be
general and protracted. It is not neces-
sary for us to consider the effect Of the
strike upon the English workmen. The
question here is, whether the suspension
of work and stoppage of consumption will
force down the price of the staple and so
diminish the profits of the Southern planter.
We believe that the whole course of the
English spinners this season is founded
upon misapprehension of two most vital
considerations condition Of the planter
and the amount of the crop. At this time,
the planters are but little in debt. They
have made a crop which has paid them
well, and what cotton they hold is held as
so much money, and can be held for three
months or six months longer, if necessary.
The planter, this year, is not at the mercy
of the spinner, and can wait until the spin
ner is obliged to buy. There is but little
cotton in the interior of the country, what
ever the bears may say. Cotton has been
sent forward freely, and there is not
doubt that the crop will fall far short OF the
estimates of the English manufacturers.
Under these circumstances, we do not
think that the suspension Of work in Eng
land should greatly affect the price of the
staple. Cotton is strong, stronger than 1t
