for Saturday next at the Quickstcp's new

The old friends Of the Diamond State will
turn out in force, and it is expected that a
large assembly will be attracted by the
game between the two home teams. The
QIckstcps will play their old nine once
again, and there is talk of Furgie Malone,
WHO was the old pitcher of the Diamond
state, coming down to play with his old
clnb. Every one who takes an interest in
BASEBALL will not fail TO see the game.
The sixth championship game between
tie rcorganized New Haven club and the

EsTING LETTER.
The following letter to the Gov. Of Penn
sylyania possesses considerable interest Il
o,. .,.,,.,s. .YTILI.Z - ,
The two twelve-pounders now in front o
tbs Xaiioe Hospital, Philadelphia, are re
volutionary relics, and they belong to tn
s . of Pennsylvania; they were transferred
during Governor Ritner's administration, OF
in the early part of Governor Porters, by
Col. Pleasanton, then acting as, Assistant
Adiutant- General, without any authority
from the Legislature. These pieces served
at the battle of the Brandywine; one o.
them was dismoun}ed by shot from the
enemy, and that piece was slung to pair o.
wagon wheels, and in that manner dragged
to West Chester, where It was remounted
The under part of the chase or muzzle was
worn off by dragging on the ground. In
1924, when General Lafayette visited Phila-
delphia, served at that piece, and when the
General dismounted from the barouche and
passed along the line his attention was call
ed to these pieces. He placed his hand un-
der the muzzle, and recognized 1t, and also
recognized the other. Some years after,
during 1887 or 1898, they were transferred
to the United States, and are now In front
of the hospital as above stated. When Co..
onel Carr, an officer of the wBr of 1872, was
Adiutant- General, and about the year 1873,
during Governor Schultz's administration,
there was general collection of all old
material to be sold or melted up. These
pieces would have then been disposed OF In
the same way; but officers of the artillery
companies, among them the Junior artillery,
to which belonged, discovered that two of
the men who assisted in singing the disa-
bled piece to the wagon wheels under a
heavy fire were still living-John
Mingle, black and white smith, since
dead, and Lieutenant Smith, drug
gist, fince dead. These pieces, If re-
bushed and mounted on proper carriages
which may be obtained by requisition on
the war department-would be the most
appropriate for firing the salute Of the one
hundredth anniversary ofou independence.
Their proper place hereafter should be on
the porch in front of the capitol at Harris
burg, or in Independence Hall, Philadelphia
The following inscriptions are on the pieces:
these pieces have on them wreath, sur
mounted with crown, below the swell of
the muzzle;" in advance of the vent, &c.
r." surmounted with a crown; on the
breech ring the name of R. Gilpin, 1855; on
the base the weight, s27 pounds. These
pieces were cast during the reign of George
H., and are ll8 years old. They were cast
in the old fashioned way, with core and
reamed out. -

The Miners Of this section Of the country
with the exception Of Barclay have been
reduced from to 3 cents per bushel. A
mass meeting was held here yesterday in a
grove on the western limits Of the city,
tor the purpose Of taking into considera-
ton the proposed reduction. Delegates
from Barclay as well as the men from Jim
town The latter place being reduced to
the same extent as ourselves. The chair
man was appointed, and in few well
timed remarks stated the object of the
meeting. after which Mr.. d. Mclaughlin,
Of Braidwood, was called upon to address
the meeting, he being telegraphed for by
us. He upon taking the stand gave a
brief review of the trade Of the country,
and the consequences always attendant
upon prutracted strike. He requested
us to consider well what we were doing
and not enter into anything rashly, but
make sure we we're right before taking any
final action He showed US all the evils
attending such troubles as we were about
entering into, and advised us to a calm
and cool reflection Of our present condi-
ton. His remarks were listened to with
eagerness, and were well received by the
whole audience, and have no doubt but
they made deep impression upon the
majority that were present. He advised
us to 90 into the strike reluctantly, but if
we went into it we should make up our
minds te win. After he concluded vote
was taken. and it wa unanimously agreed
to resist the proposed reduction, after
which an Executive Committee was APP
pointed to conduct the strike, and no
meetings TO be held except at the call Of
the Executive Committee. A vote Of
thanks was rendered to the charm an and
the speaker, Mr.. Mclaughlin, after which
the meeting adjourned.
Our men are in good spirits, and we
hope men from a distance viii give this
place a wide berth till our trouble is over,
