win Pay Miners by tho nay,

q SPRINGFIELD, H., May 3O.The OPP
orators of the various coal mines ii
this district held meeting IN
this city and resolved that when
work is resumed they will pay
miners by the day instead Of
by the ton, as heretofore. This
action is brought about BY the
prob bility Of the passage Of what
is known as the gross weight bill" by
the general assembly which the oper-
ators contend will work an injustice to
them, as it will give dishonest and In
competent miners undue advantages
over the better class Of miners and their
EMPLOYERS.

RECENT experiments with that dyna-
mite thrower, the Vesuvius, show that
while she may be useful in bluffing a
foreign belligerent, She is not cock sure
Of dropping a six hundred pound dyna-
mite shell just where it is most wanted
The important discovery is that her en-.
tire usefulness il fight depends upon
how quickly and accurately her COM
mander can estimate distances. Her
three pneumatic guns are not nova
bic, but fixed, and what with figuring
the curve or a projectile's fight, and
mnneuvering the boat SO as to get the
desired line OF fire, the man command
ing her is up to his neck in business.

ion had been accidental That -. Bur-
goyne's attack on the American flank had
bean anticipated, and detachments Of Gates
army had Issued from their intrenchmants
and fallen upon the movable British col
umn. ArnoldS impetuous Aaaaults, end
ing in the disabling Of Burgoyns's chief

Americans againSt the right flank Of the

Il the hour-exeitement which, thaEks to
Arnold'S vAlOr. was not allowed TO flag
the success was pushed to the extreme.
The British right was protected by in
trenehmants shaped like horseshoe, ter
minAting in q strong redoubt, all held By
the Germans. These were located on .
hill, and . ravine separated them from the
main line Of trenches and redoubts that
stretched to the river In the form Of an ir-
regular arc. The right Of the main line
WaB held By British light infantry, under
Earl BAlcaETas, and Arnold led portions OF
hrigAdes against the works at that point,
carrying the outer line by q bayonet charge.
His conduct 1t this time has had so many
ehroniclen among actual participants that
the record Il hlled with his notable exploits.
His ringing voice animated the men, and
spuTTing his black steed into every peril he
made himsalf . part Of every event Of the
conflict At one time he hailed q march
ing reg4mont, and found that II contained
some Norwich and London soldiers. "Iam
glad TO 80 you," he exclaimed With q well
come "NoW, come on, boys; II the day d
long enough Wen have them all in - be-
fore night"
Arnold failed In his attack on Belcarras,
his flrst and only complete repulse Of the
day. Between Balcarras and the German
hill redoubt there was q curtain formed Of
low breAstwoFks and couple Of stockades,
into which BuFgoyne had hastily thrown
force Of Canadian and Tory voluntesra.
As Arnold turned away from BalcarraS'
impregnable position he saw the old brl-
gAde QArned's), part Of his division that
had fought with him before the British 70
treat. Without q halt he led this force
against the stockAdes, broke through the
line, and thus cut of the Germans on the
hill. Neither did this success satisfy or
give excuse for halt Leaving the freshly
gained works TO the men who had entered
them, Arnold galloped OF to the left to-
ward the hill, and in so doing passed be-
tween the fire Of the contendlng troops
In front Of the hill he found two willing
regiments and Morgan's rihemsn, and in
structing their leaders to make an attack
on the direct front, led in person q single
regiment around under the shelter of the
hill, between the Germans and the Can
adams and Tories, whom he had just

heTushed for the rear Of the Hessian strong
hold Il seems to be fact that Arnoldis
personality alone won the hill from the
Germans. This height completely domi-
mated Burgoyne's camp, and was placed In
good hands for defense, the German regu-
lars under Gen. Breyman.
Arnold's conspicuous figure on his foam

ton Of the opposing soldiery at various

that direction by the troops Arnold had

been disabled 1t Quebec, and his horse foll

leader attempting to hold out, and losing
bis life in the effort. 1t was nightfall, the
point was gained, and although the space

main line whore Balcarras commanded

quit the Ocsno on the heels Of the frst sue

Burgoyne evacuated his intrenchmcnts in
the darkness. He knew that the key waA
lost and his fortified ground was untenable.
After shifting from point to point without
battle he surrendered at the end Of q week.
Two months later France made q treaty
acknowledging the Independence Of the
United States. Spain and Holland soon
followed the example set by the Bourhons,

abstained from appearing on the battle

Saratoga was Arnold's last battle Tor free

sAid Gregg to the Count Of Paris as the
battlefield tourists stood In the center Of
the open ground where Custer met the
VirRiniAns.. with his main column he
hoped to slip unobserved between me and
our army at Gettysburg and get into our
rear"
Bat GreeE's men fought too hard TO be
trifed with, and regiment after regiment
Of StuArt's was drawn TO the scene. By
the time the First Virginia retired before
the seorching fire that received II, far down
the field, the three brigades Of Wade HSmp-
ton and the two Lees were In the vicinity.
A curtain Of woods skirted the Confeder-
ate end Of the long, narrow held. Tho
Union end was an open farm region, and
on one side there was Q wood the whole
distance Of the Union position, and on the
other sheltering crest along stream. To
dislodge Gregg from the wood on one side
and the ridge on the other. while his bat
tsries stood at the end Of the space raking
the ground between, was too hard task
for Stuart TO think Of. Yet . quick ride
down that open ground into the batteries
might carry Gregg's key position and ruin
his line.
Scarcely had the Virginia regiment quit
the field when q mass Of their fellows, sew
eral regiments in all, moved out in splen-
did order from the woods, and started to
repeat the march of the vanguard Just de-
teAted. They moved In close column in
full view Of their opponents, and marched
a. calmly and as proudly as on q parade.
Their sword blades shone In the high sum
mersun, their horses moved neck and neck,
and like small avalanche Of warrors the
body rolled resiStlessly on across the open
space between the thin Union lines that
still clung 70 the ridge and 70 the wood
on either side. Gregg saw what was upon
him; Custer saw it; every man on the field
saw It. A thunderbolt Of war was coming
and must be met. Here and there picket
or q dismounted man cut of from his com
pany rushed to the nearest body Of his
friends, gripped his weapon tighter and
prepared TO be one Of o host to meet the
onslaught. Aids dashed to and fro, pick
ing up squads and detachments and form
ing irregular bands. McIntosh's brigade
was divided, part on one side Of the lane
like space, part upon the other. The
Third Pennsylvania regiment had two
squadrons on the ridge on the left and two
in the wood nearly opposite, the enemy
marching between. Custer's men were
along tho ridge by the stream and at the
end Of the field, facing the advancing
enemy. The First Michigan stood In close
column behind the batteries, and Gregg at
once ordered Il to charge. Custer dashed
up at the moment, fresh from his late bat
tie, at the head Of the Seventh and placed
himself in front Of the First.

At the moment Custer was drawing To-
ward this very spot with the Seventh Mich
igan, and seeing the emergency he hastily
formed the regiment In close columns and
advanced TO meet the Virginians. The
latter were already between TIVE fires, the
Fifth Michigan and First New Jersey hav-
ing deployed parallel to the route Of march

ter swept on with the Seventh until he
found his way barred by . stone fence.
Across this barrier his men opened with

faced the music. forced their way 10 the
opposite side Of the wall, and returned the
fre with pistols. The battle wAged for
some time at arms length, but the Confed-
crates were quickly reenforced. and Gus
ter had TO give ground, followed BY the
VirRinianR The Confsdsrates were at last
over half way acruss the open spAce, but
they were drawing noarer to Gregg'S can
