For over two years, Newark, Elizabeth
Bergen, and the suburbs of Jersey City have
suffered constant terrorism from the raids of
an organized band Of thieves and robbers,
who occupied dwellings in Newark ard Jer-
sey City, renting them from the owners on
the pretence OF taking boarders. After par
ticulaIly daring robbery, last March, the gang
left their civilized haunts and formed a den
in some impeLetrable spot which the detec-
tives were unable to discover. From that
time ali trace of them was lost except to
learn that there were II of them, although
some burglary or other outrage would be per-
petrated in one of the specified places almost
every night. A day or two since, however, a
colored man named Edward Dye was found
in the streets of Newark with pistol oall in
in his leg and an artery severed. He was rec
og nized as one wl4o mad participated in late
Burglary, and was taken to the station house,
and an attempt made to induce him TO dis
close his companions and their whereabouts.

OF their operations, they concluded to remove
to small cave near the subui bs of East New

neighboring farmers in search of marl for fer

leadership OF one James Harris, proceeded TO
fit up this romantic abode in the best manner
possible under the circumstances, covering
the roof and flooring with boards, which they
stole from nei9hboring lnmber yard. One
OF the regulations sworn to by each member
of the gang was that any one who betrayed

little more than a month AGO one of the par

not seen for several weeks. He was at length

drawn to determine who should execule the
decree of death. The lot fell on Edward Dive.

The Surrender Of Paris.

Secretary Fish has received the following
telegram from Mr.. Moran, our Charge d Afaires
at London, dated London, Sunday morning,
January %:
s'The German Ambassador here has officially
informed me that the capitulation OF all the
Paris forts, and an armistice Of three weeks by
land and sea, was signed about o'clock last
evening at Versailles by Count Bismarck and
NJ. Jules Favrc. The army of Paris remain
prisoners of war in the city, but it is not known
whether they are to be disarmed or not. Nc
details have yet been received. Count Bern
stoff thinks it important that the fact that the
armistice extends over the sea should be made
known as widely as possible. ~
The Emperor, William, has sent the follow
ing dispatch to the Empress:
VERSAILLES, 2 p NJ, Sunday.-Last night
an armistice for three weeks was signed. The
regulars and mobiles are to be detained in Paris
as prisoners of war L The National Guard will
undertake the maintenance Of order. Ncoccu-
py all the forts. Paris remains invested, but
will be allowed to revictual as soon as the arms
are surrendered. The National Assembly is to
be summoned to meet at Bordeaux in fort
night. All armies in the field will retain their
respective positions, the ground between the
opposing linesto be neutral. Thisis the reward
Of patriotism, heroism and great sacrifices.
Thank God for this fresh mercy. May peace
soou follow. Signed WILLIAM.
A dispatch from Versailles announces, that
Bismarck signed, on Saturday, with Jules
Favre, the captulation Of all the Paris forts,
and an armistice Of three weeks Oh land and
sea, the army of Paris to remain prisoners of
war in the capital.
A dispatch has been received at the British
Foreign Office confirming the fully previous re-
ports Of the equalization, and adding that one
division of troops of the line, besides the Ma
tional Guard, will not be required to disarm
and that communication with Paris is Provision
aly retricted. There is no prospect now that
Favre will come to London, and no other per
son has been accredited to represent France at
the Conference.
4 dispatch from London to the New York,
World says =. The capitulation involves, peace;
the cession of Alsace and German Lorraine and
u part of the feet; money indemnity to be guar
anteed by the municipalities; portion Of the
German army to return home and the war to
cease 1t lis necessary that some territory be
retained to secure the fulflment Of the COM
pact The Mobiles are to be sent home and
the German army to enter Paris. The En-
peror will return Immediately to Berlin.

Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette.
ATLANTA, LII 'NO1s, JAM 24.-As | have
sent 10 communication to my old home for
sometime, thought sketch of il recent storm
that swept over certain portions Of our prairie
home might not be unintcrcsting to the many
readers of the Gazette For several days pre-
ceding the storm the weather was warm and
pleasant, but on Friday, Jan. 18th, the wind
changed to Northeast, and during the entire
day fine round snow fell steadily. 1t differed
from ordinary snow in having no cohesiveness,
the little round pellets slipping from under the
feet like shot. Some time during Friday night
it commenced raining and freezing, until the
ice and sleet cr,lsted the earth to the depth Of
three inchcs-by Saturday morning the trees
had become 50 heavily coated with the RAIN,
snow, and slcet that many of them broke down.
All day Saturday the cold rain continued; that
evening high wind blew from the Northwest
and materially increased the damage already
done to shade andtruit trees Hundreds OF trees
in this vicinity are SO completely split pieces
to be ruined. Out of about4O peach and cherry
trees. we have only 20 Left and apple orchards
too suffered severely The loss in shade trees is
very severe. Many of the soft naples and golden
willows are strippcdof almost all their branches.
One evergreen in front of our home, about Is
feet high. broke off more than halt way up. In
the timber the effect has been the same, break
ing off limbs six inches in diameter. The SHOW
continued 81 hours without any iutcrlnissinn.
give you an idea of the weight of the ice carried
by the trees after the snow. y twig covered
with ice was placed on the scales and found to
weigh ten ounces After the ice had melted
the same twig weighed one-fourth Of an ounce.
Those who saw the sun rise and set for sever
Ill days after the storm will not soon forget the
beautiful effect produced by the reflection of his
RAYS from the ice encrusted landscape. 1t was
the most beautiful panorama my eyes ever be-
held. Everything seemed transformed to crys
tai and frosted silver.
We had Photographic view taken of our
residence as il appeared through its icc-co;ttcd
trees and shrubs This picture will have Il his
torc value rs showing some Of the effects pro-
tluced by this remarkable Storm j. Ms.

COal-tllc Strikes.

The Washington Republican speaking of the
strikes in the Pennsylvania Coal Region
says; -Accoriing to adspatch from Ashland,
if these strikes are repeated and continued
much longer, the coal region will be depopulat,
cd. From personal observation We are satisfied
the fault of this state of things lies entirely
with the miners They are, without exception
the most unreasonable class of workingmen ir
all America, and Of labor organizations the
Grand Council of the Workingmen's Benevo-
lent Association is certainly the most arrogant
and despotic Of any ever Instituted.
The MINERS are the utter slaves of this
council They follow out With implicit obedience
every command it issues, and as they arc ex-
tremeIy ignorant and fanatically hostile, strange
to say, to the very men who employ them, it
becomes a difficult task to reason with them on
the suicidal policy they are pursuing. The
truth of the matter is, the officers Of this grand
council are for the most part a set of knaves,
who, acting in conjunction with the spectators
in New York and Philadelphia, originate and
foment these strikes for the purpose of putting
up the price of coal. a.: Il .rE..
Ofoourse, whenever strike takes place a
good excuse is offered for increasing the rate
per ton at which coal is sold in the cities, and
house-holders everywhere are made to feel to
their cost what manner Of thing strike is
We see no solution for the trouble save in the
opening of coal mines elsewhere, which wi"
help in some degree to break up the Pennsyl
vania monopoly. Iu West Virginia there are
fifteen thousand square miles of coal treasr ,'es,
almost untouched. All that is needed to make
them available is railroad communication.
With fuller delopment Of our coal treasures
all over the country the strikes among coal min
ers will he fewer and less embarrassing.
