A territorial government is to be demanded
by the adventures in the Black Hills Indian
country, who went there without leave, and
in defiance of law. This means lot Of new
officers, Governor, delegate TO Congress,
Secretaries, Judges, Marshals, for the benefit
OF those who do not take to hard work neces-
sary to extract few dollars day out of very
lean gold diggings they have TO deal with.
the Black Hills people were to pay the ex-
penses Of the Territorial Government, courts,
salaries and other accessories, il would be
their affair exclusively but il the United
States Treasury has to foot the heavy bills for
hedgling Territories, there Is where the
interests Of other people are entitled to be
heard. The men who demand Territorial
Government for the Black Hills country had
no business to go there at all; they knew
when they went they would be at distance
from seat Of organized political government;
very few Of them intend to stay there, and
there are fewer promises Of stability about
the scattered shifting camps now there than
has been the case with any other territory
all Of which are good reasons why the demand
for Territorial Government Is rather pre-
mature.-Phiia. Ledger.

CHEsrER, Pa, May pa terrible acci.
dent happened at the launch of the iron
steamship Saratoga at Roach's ship.yard this
morning about 8 o'clock. About forty men
were under the vessel when it went off, and,
not hearing the order to come out, number
were crushed to death.
The names Of the killed as far as known
are Edward Fowley, John Nelson, Charles
Wright and Edward Burke The wounded
are George Wool, MORALLY, and Barney Can.

yard soon thronged with the friends and rela.
tiyes of the victims, and presented very
distressing scene. This is the first accident
that has ever happened at a launch since
Roach took the yard, and he has launched
some forty vessels.
LATER.-The total number Of dead in con.
sequence Of the accident is seven. In add.
ton to those already reported j. J. Crew was
instantly killed and George o. Wool and Bar.
ney Cannon died at eleven o'clock Three
persons were wounded oil of whom will prob.

were workmen employed at the yards, and
were engaged in knocking the blocks from
under the keel. The scene during the time
the ship was going off was heart .rendng, the
men being seen struggling TO escape while the
huge blocks rolled by the ship crushed them
TO a jelly. No assistance could possibly be
rendered by those who were standing BY

ed for all hands to get out from under before
commenced cutting loose. The men who
were down by the after blocking evidently did
not hear the order, or did not obey, as they
had fully 1--we minutes to get out from the
time the order was given until the ship started
some OF the men remained under, which is
frequently the case, to attend to the forward
blocking.
All the men who were under the Saratoga
to-day just previously to launching her have
been accounted for. No additional deaths
have occurred amongst those injured, and the
limit OF the number killed may now be set
at seven.
The inquest in the case of the victims Of
the Saratoga launch, at Chester, Pa, began
wednesday. A large number Of witnesses
testified that every possible precaution was
taken; that the men were warned in time to
get beyond danger, and that il the vessel had
not been cut loose at the time she was many
more lives would have been lost.

The Coal TRADE.-The Philadelphia Times
says The issue Of the war which is now fairly
opened by the coal corporations is easy to
ioretell. Coal is drug in the market, and is
daily sold at less than the cost of production,
and yet oil the companies are vigorously at
work exerting their resources to the utmost
to see which can contribute most 10 the weight
under which some Of them must fall Bust
nessis no better this year than last there's no
greater demand for coal now than then, when
the market was fully supplied ut low prices;
yet the total amount shipped this year is al
ready 7,234,oll tons against 5,947,119 last
year, an increase of l, 2S6, s92, or % per cent.
The most sanguine spectators would not
venture to say that the country needs two
million more tons of coal this year than
last, an yet this enormous increase Is at the
rate Of three million and half tons year.
With stocks already as low as they are now il
Is easy TO see charlottesville ruin lies at the
end Of the road they are now travelling so
fast.

son, situated near the roadside, he found Mrs.
Gibson reclining at window fronting on the
road. l. was about nooni she had prepared
dinner for her husband, who was at work in
the field, and was awaiting his arrival. The
stranger accosted her, and said he was coming
into the house. She demonstrated, and told
him there was bad dog in the hall that
would certainly bite him il he effected an en-
trance. He persisted, however, and, on en-
tering, attempted to commit an outrage upon
the person ofthe lady. The dog rushed into
the room about this time and made q savage
attack upon the tramp, inaicting a terrible and
excruciating wound in an unfortunate local.

made his exit from the house, and when last
seen by our informant he was lying beside the

A GoosE's FIeHr WITH BuLI.-A heavy.
throated bull near this village, noted for his
herceness, accidently stepped on one Of a
brood of goslings recently which stately
gander was holding watch and guard over
with great solitude. Straightway the gander
attacked the bull, and selling him BY the tail
with his beak, his wings dashed the animal s
hanks with the greatest fury. In vain the
bull wheeled about TO reach his antagonist;
the gander wheeled with him, all the while re.
tanning. his hold upon the bulls tail, and
showering blows with his powerful wings with
telling effect upon the bulls legs, until he
fairly roared with pain and terror. At last
the gander, apparently thinking that bis ad
versary. had sufficiently punishment, let &c
his hold and the bull took to his heels with
the liveliest speed, only stopping when he
reached the further corner of the field. Md.

RALwAYs.--It is not generally known that
the United States has more miles Of railway
than Russia, Turkey, Germany, Austria,
Great Britain, France and Italy combined, the
total mileage of the former being nearly eigh,
ty thousand miles, against seventy seven thou
sand miles in those countries. OF the above
named countries Russia has more than double
the population Of the United States, Germany
about two millions greater, and Great Britain,

CHEAP RAILROAD. The Chambersburg, Pa,
Public Opinion says The South Mountain
Iron Rail Road, with all It's franchises and
equipment, was sold in Philadelphia, on
Tuesday 18th, for $4,000, TO Col. Thos. ID.
Kennedy Of Chambersburg. The road is III
miles long, has 10 station houses, Of which
are for passengers, and was built at q cost Of
$685., 4SO.63. When we remember that this
road passes through some Of the best agricul-
tural lands of Cumberland county and is the
only outlet for the rich iron ore beds, and the
property known as Pine Grove Furnace,
which sold on the same day for 500, subject
to mortgage Of 100000, the depreciation
of railroad property seems frightful.
