TuNsTALL's, NEW KENT COUNTY, VA.,1
April l., 1872.
Judge Benjamin W. Lacy has been sitting
for several days. engaged i'll the trial of
highly interesting case for trespaSs, which
terminated at very late hour Saturdaynight
in favor of the plaintiff. The facts in the
cause. if we have been correctly informed,
are the following: Hogs belonging to John
Camm Wynnc, Of aboriginal descent, had
annoyed Colonel W. w. Gordon by going
into his fields and destroying his crops.
After repeated warnings from Colonel Cor
don to the owner, he continued to allow
them to dcpredate upon him, until some of
them were killed by direction of Colonel
Gordon, for which Wynnc brought suit for
recovery of damages.
There is but little surface seeded in wheat
in this section, and that does not present a
very tlattcring appearance. The growth Of
it has been greatly retarded by the excessive
cold winter, and has not yet developed itself
sufficiently for one to judge with any degree
of accuracy as to what will probably be the
Weld. The Pamunkey valley formerly, and
under more favorable auspices, produced,
abundantly, wheat equal if not superior to
any grown on the American continent.
This is quite commercial place, and the
removal of the public buildings of the county
hither is talked of by the people. 1t is a
most eligible site for Il town, possessing very
desirable natural advantages, among them
most desirable water-power-Black creek
which has at all seasons an abundance Of
water for manufacturing purposes
Its rumored that the Richmond and York
River railroad will sell out to an English
company some time during the present
month. We trust that in the event of the
purchase it may be thoroughly equipped.
The health of the people i'll this section is
remarkably good. Physicians have scarcely
| anything to do; consequently there is great
dearth in the sales of medicines. We wish
the followers of -Esculapius well, but long
may the people enjoy this the greatest of
| boons.
The people do not indorse the action of the
Legislature in talnpcring with their interest
as regards public and private debts. They
are Of the opinion that the State in few
years will be fully able to pay. AS TO the
latter, it is an interlneddling of busybodies
with private affairs that the people cannot
appreciate. We are sure if they knew the
popular sentiment about the time unprofta-
bly, consumed they would pass the tax bill
and hasten to their homes.
We had most violent storm here OH last
Sunday, which blew down fences, houses,
and uprootcd both shade and forest trees to
a considerable extent. PAMUNKEY.

EXPLOSION IN A BANK FAuLT.-The whole
city was excited this morning by exaggerated
accounts of an accident Chat had occurred at
the Citizens National Bank, and large
crowd speedily assembled at and near that
building. The particulars OF the affair, us
narrated to reporter for the Gazette by one
of the bank officers, are as follows: The
vault was full of gas, which had escaped
from a burner that had been left open after
an unsuccessful attempt to light it yesterday,
and this morning soon after the bank opened,
when Mr.. l.. +. Uhler, the teller, went in
there with lighted match violent eXplo-
sion occurred, accompanied with loud re-
port. Mr.. Uhlcr was blown out of the vault
into the office, and had his face and hands Sc
vercly burned. Mr.. Furlong, the book
keeper. whose desk was opposite the vault
door, was knocked off,his seat, books and pa
pers were scattered about in every direction,
and some panes of glass in the doors ana
windows were shattered. MIR. Uhler was
taken into the directors room, where his in
jrlries were attended to. He is thought not
to be severely hurt, though when seen, soon
after the accident happened, lying on an eX-
temporiZed bed, pale and Frustrated, with
his whskers and eyebrows burnt OF, the
skin pealing from his face, hands, and throat,
and his clothing torn and soiled, one would
have supposed that he was not long for this
world. The bank was closed during the ex-
element, and policeman guarded the doors.

direct or take part in financial campaign III
| Wall street.
In the fifth place, the confidence Of Lon
don in American operations has been vastly
increased since the recent overthrow OF the
corrupt political, judicial, and financial rings
| which dominated New York. The vllainous
proceedings of these rings introduced an ele-
ment of uncertainty concerning American
operations into the London head; and this,
as we have been often told by English
writers, was the main thing which prevented
the millions of British capital which could
not be proftably employed i'll London from
coming over here for Investment. Since the
overthrow of our plundering rings, from
whose doings Englishmen suffered severely,
the foreign capitalist has an assurance which
he never had during their existence, that his
capital will have fair chance in Wall street.
1t is worthy of note that the first great stock
speculation of the English here has been III
Erie, Immediately after the overthrow of the
ring by which it has been managed.
| In the last place, there is another evidence
that London speculation Is turning to Wall
street in the recent addition Of several
American stocks to the list of the London
Stock Exchange. BY referring to the Lon
| don list il will be seen that some lialf-dozen
| vi
which never before had n place there, have
been put on within the last few weeks. They
are stocks In which fluctuations are frequent,
and have, of course, been put on for the SER
vice of operators whose attention has lately
been turned to- them.
Now, if these things are so, they are de-
serving of attention far beyond Wall street.
The influence of such an influx of London
capital as has lately begun will be felt outside
of speculative circles; will, in fact, be felt on
allinterests and values throughout the coun.
try. London is frequently seized with eX'
traordinary manias of speculation, and the
masses of capital welded there are so vast
that their movement is felt throughout the
world. The temptations for investment and
speculation here are greater than exist any
where else. We have nlunberlcss stocks
yielding seven per cent. selling below par,
and numberless ventures which only need
capital to enable them to realize great re,
suits.

RIorous PENNSYLVANIA STRIKERS.

A Gang OF Discontents Causing Terror
and Excitement at Wflllamsport-En-
tering Lumber Mills by Force-Police-
men Assaulted and WOrkmen Fleeing
FOR Their Livcs-l1Oud Call for the MiIi-
tary.
WILIIAMsroRT, Pa, July %, 1872.
The strike OF mill wOrkmen in this city has as.
sumed a serious phase. The strikers assembled at
about ten O'Clock this morning and moved to the
upper mill yards. At the mill OF Filbert & Otto the
police were drawn up In line to guard the place.
The crowd assailed them with brickbats, broke
through the line and went into the mill. From
thence they went through all the mills, the men
who were at work neeing through the lumber piles
for their lives.
Several fights occurred and many men were
wounded. One boy was struck with u hand spike
by the foreman of the mill and was seriously
wounded. The Chief OF Police came near having his
arm broken by O blow from a club. A special
policeman was severely wounded, being struck on
the head by an iron bar. Policeman Foresman was
hit In the face with brick and badly wounded.
Policeman Strycker was struck by two clubs which
were thrown at him, and Oflccr Patt had his
clothes badly torn.
The strikers then moved to the mills below the
city, closing those which were at work. The mill
tary have been called out and are now parading
the streets. The greatest excitement prevails.
The strikers will meet tomorrow morning at half
past nine O'Clock.
Some shooting occurred at about seven O'Clock
this evening" but II was not Of serious character
