ANOTHER BLUNDER.

The Southern people have scarce
ly been given to any thing of late
years of a political character but
plumbers. And now when conf
dencc was being restored among con-
servatives at the north, while the
radicals stood in dread of the conse-
quences of their uSurpations and of
the verdict in 1872 of an outraged
people, the scene shifts at once
when Jefferson Davis breaks ST.
lence and refuses to "accept the
situation" We may do that and
thousands of others, and excite no
northern alarm; but Davis has stir
red The lowest deops Of the late war
and has probably excited sentiments
which seal the fate of the dcmocra-
cy in the approaching canvass.

THERE IS NO RISK

A portion of our Marietta property
holders object to our City authoritle 5
following the example Of all other
prosperous Towns in aiding all pub
lie works calculated to advance our
interests in wealth population and
general improvement. They are
afraid Of tdratiOn. Blind TO their
own individual interests they would
allow this groundless fear to defeat
the general good What have they
to fearY If the Marietta Rail Roads
are not built others will be, cutting
offthe Town from all accessible trade.
1t will dry up, as it should, monu-
ment of its own folly. If they are
built no one doubts that they will
nav. Eminent and shrewd capitalists
have assured us of this by their in
vestments, ii we have no DINER owl
dence. What then Is there to fear !

joice that the question is to be sub

THE p1rTsBuRa CATASTROPHE.

The following is the statement of
a survivor from the mines at Pitts
burg
Martin Cox, one of the miners
who was taken out alive, makes the
following statement: We went in
at IA. NJ. My brother Robert cut
through from one air-way to anoth-
er, and turned in gas, and six miners
came out with him. Before their
shift was up the air was so bad they
could not work at all. This was
about fifteen minutes before the fire,
and seven came up to the top five
minutes before the fire was discover
ed. The first intimatiOn we had Of
the fire was sound through the
mine as if there was an explosion Of
gas. An English miner said there
was frs. We were then working
about fifty yards from the bottom Of
the shaft on the west side. | then
ran to the bottom of the shaft, and
saw tho fire coming down ran back
to my comrades, and told them "We
are all lost, the shaft is on fire" We
were seven in all.
We then ran to the foot of the
shaft, and the burning timbers were
coming down; threw on water to
put out the fire, and the smoke be-
came so intense that we were near
ly suffocatcd. Volumes came down
the shaft and filled the place. We
then ran to the west side in the di-
rection Of the river bridge down the
slope and got indoors with eleven
others, making eighteen altogether
in that place. The smoke came in
upon us so badly that we gathered
up a COB of fine stuff from the track,
and plastered up the cracks of the
door, and also stuffed Goals in the
holes, which stopped the smoke for
some time. We now had time for
thought and reflection. No one eX-
pected to see daylight again, and
said it was a second Avondale.
We all sang hymns and prayed,
calling upon God, in His mercy, to
save us, as we all felt doomed, be-
yond human aid. We ran back and
forth through the gangway for fresh
air. At t;15 p NJ, Patrick Farley
fell and groaned twice, and was
found dead when the men came into
the place after the fire. then went
over to the west side for my coat TO
stop out the smoke, as we would all
be suffocated very soon. The men
then passed me, carrying back their /
comrades, who were dying in their
arms. More men were outside the
doors crying out in distress and
anguish, calling upon God for safety
and succor. None expected 20 come
out alive. Mules were kicking and
A boy said TO his father, with a
horrible oath, "Stop praying and
crying. We will all come out safe,
md if we must die, let us die like
men," and the father and son came
,ut alive. A: $50 P. NJ, became
nsensible and remained so till | was
brought out by my brother Robert,
