Over S1O,OOO,OOO Of Property Already
Destroyed in the Riets.
Tramps, Thieves and Miners Flocking
Into Pittsburg for Plunder.
Especial to the Democrat,1

| P1TTsBuRa, July %, u m.-The excitement
is increasing. Last evening the Union depot
Pan Handle depot and Pennsylvania Central
elevator were destroyed The total amount
Of railroad property already destroyed is
calculated at from eight TO ten millions OF
dollars, without including the valuable freight
| stored In the freight cars in the depots, the
value Of which 1t is impossible to estimate.
Tramps, miners, thieves and unemployed
| laborers are fiocking to the city and reinfor-
cling the rioters. The sympathy here Is with
the rioters, but there is bitter prejudice
against these new comers, and the better class
OF citizens are trying to persuade the strikers
to assist them in putting down the Commun-
lists.
The mob, however, is too strong, and the
whole affair has got out of the hands of the
strikers who started 1t.
Various efforts are being made here to end
the reign of terror and communism that pre-
walls. Funds have been raised to organize a
special regiment of police, and assistance is
expected from Allegheny and Birmingham
Gen. Negley will command this force, IL the
citizens succeed in organizing 1t.
Fifteen companies of United States troops
have been ordered here, but it Is doubtful If
they can be got here, as all the tracks in the
neighborhood have been torn up and bridges
burned to prevent the moving of troops
The mob, wearied. out by the excesses of
last night, dispersed about midnight, but
early this morning began recognizing and
the streets are now filed with rioters. An
other day OF riot. perhaps worse than yester-
day, is threatened.

In recent issue it says;
The mighty people are with the

The appeal has no compromise to
make with routed and disconnected
Radicalism, and it certainly has no
sympathy or praise for the receiver
of goods stolen from the American
people. The day will never come
when a Democrat can be induced to
sing paens of praise and utter ho-
sannassof gratitude to a man whose
pathway to the most exalted station
on earth is marked by fraud, by per-
jury, and by forgery.

How SawbOnes'' would Settle
Theological Differences.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
see by your last paper that the
preachers are quarreling again, and what
infamous language they USE 1t has
been thus ever since christianity was
introduced. / think 1 could suggest
plan by which they could settle their
difficulties without involving the whole
community. l spent the summer of
1867 on a large Louisiana plantation,
all the negroes in the South had quit
work and turned their attention to re-
ligiOn; about one-third of the men were
preachers; boys of fifteen and many of
the women were hard at it, At all
times of the day or night, you could
hear them on all the plantations on both
sides of the river One moonlight night
about eight O'Clock, I was sitting on my
gallery, when a half dozen negro men
came through the yard and to where l
minent preacher on the place. They
came to tell me that they were going to
kill another prominent preacher on the
place, and wished to know what /
thought of it. ! asked what the man
had been doingY what they were going
to kill for? They said he is preaching
false doctrine. l told them that thing of
false and true doctrine had deluged the
earth with blood, and the question was
no nearer settled now then eighteen hun
dred years ago. l told them that the
government allowed every man to hold
and express an opinion on the subject,
and that if they killed the man ] would
have them punished. They said they
thought was mistaken. That they had
been to see the clerk of the parish court
and he had told them that if the man
was preaching false doctrine to kill him.
assured them that / would have them
punished if they killed him, If / had
to send to New Orleans for troops to do
tours and butt it out with their heads,
they left nls in disgust. They did not
kill the man, but drove him from the
plantation. This would be an excellent
way to settle such difficulties. It would
insure large number of spectators and
large collection OF dimes, and the
whole community would be delighted.
This mode of settling difficulties is not
original with me. About fifteen years
ago, a difficulty was settled in this way
on Beaver Greek, a few miles below

The True Object.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The people of Knoxville are building
an air line railroad from that city to Au-
gust, Ga. You think the object of the
road is to bring goober peas into East
Tennessee. You are certainly mistaken
about this, as there is already a good
railroad leading from one city te the 9TH
er, and one train of cars could bring
COOLERS enough to supply East Tennes-
see for year. No. The object of this
road is to penetrate an unknown, min
habited and hitherto inaccessible coun-
try of high mountains this can on
ly be done by finishing the railroad as
they go with stations every few miles.
The celebrated Prof. Blatherskite has a
theory that it presents the same appear
ance as the moon, as seen through a large
telescope. They will also build branch
road to the Bald mountain volcano. The
opulent planters on the North Carolina
side, who say they will meet the Knox
vile road at the State line, cultivate with
one OK about four acres of land, three in
corn and one in COOLERS and niger kill
er potatoes. This they calculate will
put them through to blackberries next
year. The Knoxville people do not de-
serve much credit for investing in the
road. Money has accumulated on their
hands until they can find no other invest
ment. SAwBoNEs.
