uow WASHINGTON LOOKED IN

The following sketch of Gen. Wash
ington's personal appearance, is taken
from a letter written in New York in
177S, and published in the Rentish Ga
zette, an English paper:
ssGen. Washington is now in the forty
seventh year of his age; he is a tall,
well-made man, rather large-boRed, and
has tolerably genteel address; his fes-
tnres are manly and bold; his eyes Of
blush cast, and very lively; his hair of a
deep brown; his face rather long, and
marked with the smallpox; his bonn
plexion suuburnt and without much
color; and his cOuntenance SEN
sible, composed and thoughtful
There is q remarkable air of digni-
ty about him, with striking degree of
| gracefulness; he has an excellent under
| standing, without much quickness; is
strictly Just, vigilant, and generous; an
affectionate husband, faithful friend,
a father to the deserving soldier,
gentleman in his manners, in
temper rather reserved; total
stranger to religious prejudices, which
have so often excited Christians of one
| denomination to cut the throats of those
of another; in his morals irreproschsble;
he was never known TO exceed the bound:
of the most rigid temperance. In wore
all his friends and acquaintance allow
that no one man ever united in his OWL
person more perfect alliance of thu
virtue of Philosopher with the talents
of General"

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 9.-The first
test vote in the Legislature on the contest
between the miners and railroad corpora
tions was taken yesterday afternoon in
the Senate. The immediate question
was, whether the general Avs governing
mines and protecting the lives of miners
in the anthracite region should be ex
tended to the western bituminous coal
fields. The bill passed to third reading
lust as the miners wanted it, all amend
ments being defeated. The result is her
aided as great victory over the transport
tationS companies. The House, in all
probability, will concur.
Last evening the leading managers Of
the coal railroads appeared before the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate and
testified concerning the strikes. They are
to be followed by President Siney of the
Workmen's Benevolent Association and
other representatives of the lab0ring men.
Il is evident that the tide has set strongly
against the railroads. Whispers are atiost
that high authorities have determined to
break upthe exorbItant rates OF freight,
even if it becomes necessary TO seize and
operate therOads. Tbis was done in 1855
n the case Of the Lake Shore railroad for
violating its ch.rt4r Mr. w. U. Kendrick,
President of tle Anthracite Board of
Trade and large delegation of miners,
| all here.
R ports just received show that the
troubles are increasing The large iron
furnaces at Dmville and neighborhOod
are all on the point of stopping, and
within forty-eight hours 5000 men will
be out of employment. If the Governor
takes decided grounds in favor of the
miners, he will employ the entire power
of the State to compel the corporations
to reduce their rates. Well informed per-
sons assert that he will, if necessary, re-
sort to more vigorous means than judicla
| process. Various rumOrs are atiOat,
among others that 5000 workmen intend
visiting the State Capital.

to'day between five negro soldiers sta

couple of negro roustsbouts, during which
one of the latter was beaten nearly to
death, and the other cut and stabbed, so
that he can hardly recover. An arrest of
the rioters was attempted by two police
men, whom the rioters defied, and with
cooked pistols, refused to permit any of
their number being taken into custody.
Two additional policemen were called
into service, and 8 general fight ensued
between the police and the rioting negroes,
in which the police were victorious, the
negroes, with dozen or fifteen of their
associates, who had come to their rescue,
taking refuge in the barracks, barricadiDg
the door, and denying admission. The
door was finally broken open, and after
strong resistance, the ring-leaders were
arrested and locked up.

The Outrage business.

1t is stated, on good authority, that the
President doubts very much the expe-
diency of any additional legislation to
strengthen his power in the Southern
States. A decided impression has been
made on his weak brain by the manufac-
tured stories of Southern outrages. The
real object of all this clamor for legisla-

Adjournment Agains

The latest report in regard TO the ad-
iournment discussion is that the President
has concluded not to send message In
relation to the pretended Ku-Klux out
RACES, but expresses the hope to Senators
and Representatives that they will tlrs'
fix the time of adjournment, setting il
ten or twelve days hence, and go to work
and pass Gen. Buffers or some similar
bill. There is no certainty for any such
policy to succeed, as the Democratic
Senators and Representatives are sure t(
resist any attempt to dragon them witt
all the weapons parliamentary warfare
affords. Between the two roads, tn
Radicals will fail. The Presidents rea
anxiety is to secure his reelecdon. BE
tween the fear that the Southern States
will be lost without the later remedy
and the knowledge that the North is SURF
to be if it is applied, it is quite possibl
there will be no action, but an adjourn
ment will be had.

ing whatever was said about such a step

The Administration, however, brought its
influence to bear, and to day secured q
vote of three out of five members of the

tence for It was stated to be that Sumner
l was not on good official OF personal terms

whose safety, as well as that of Capt. Hayes, late

following particulars of their journey, since last

difficulties they have had to contend with in their
efforts to reach home: Capt Hayes. being compelled
to abandon his vessel al Plover Bay, took passage,
accompanied by Capt Barker, on a small schooner
that had wintered North, for ST MichaeI's, where
they expected to mud the trading brig Halle Jack
son, aud thus be able to reach san Francisco, but
they unfortunately arrived late, as the brig had
sailed several days previous. They then proceeded
to ST. Pauls, 10 hopes Of meeting the trading
steamer Alexander, but missed her also From
thence they proceeded to onolaska, where they
arrived too late to meet with vessel bound to San
Francisco, and here the schooner was abandoned on
account OF being uuseaworthy. After remaining al
that place several days, the U. S. Revenue Cutter
Reliance arrived the officers Of which vessel treated
the two captains with great kindness and took
them to stka, where they arrived just in time to
miss the steamer bound to San Francisco. amer
detention of thirty-three days, they obtained a
passage on the steamer G. S Wright and made their
wav to Victoria. where they arrived on the 5th Of
November. and finally reached san Francisco on the
10Th, Capt Hayes Immediately proceeding home
