NASHVILLE. Aug Bloodshed, the
torch and riot have esumed sway IN the
mining districts, and q reign Of terror haa
ret In that may eliminate IN fearful loss OF
lie. Tho free miners at Tracy City burned
the stockade there and sent 800 convict
miners away on o train which they stole
and placed ia charge OF Deputy Warden
Burton and twenty-five guards. Between
sewaueo and Mont Eagle the convicts cut
the tfuin in two and ten OF fifteen made
break for liberty. Several shots were fred
Matt Wilson white was killed and Tom
Smith coloredl wounded. Six or eight
made good their escape. The train was
held az Cownn until orders 60 come on were
IL ceivcd from Nashville.
It is feared that the Inman mines win be
attacked, and the guards who brought The
Tracy City convicts here have been sent
flying there. Governor Buchanan Is very
nervous and anxious over tue Inman con
victs, some 400i all. he is waiting to hear
from the sheriff of Grundy county. who
wired him that he would probably call for
troops today
Governor Buchanan said; al am tired OF
tais foolishness, and ! am going 20 put q

Only the Beginning.
Tom Carrick, the leader OF the miners,
says that this is only the beginning; that
the miners had been imposed on by a stand
ing army, who insuted them with their
airs and that soon the flames shall crackle in
the stuckades at lnman and Coal Creek.
The miners have held meetings every
night for a week past Ia the valley, and
have sworn that the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railway company shall not operate the
mines IN that region again. They swear
also that the state shall take its convicts
away and only free labor can operate the
mines If they are ever reopened.
Another reason for fearing an attack is
that the labor unions all over this section
are better organized than over, and are urg-
ing the men who sympathize with labor TO
withdraw from the militia. This is having
the effect TO keep some men from volunteer.
ing, though there have been few II any
desertions But this action of the labor
unions encourages the miners TO believe
that they will be supported and that the
state cannot materially increase It's force IL
10 should become necessary.
There Is much anxiety here about Coal
Creek and Oliver springs Whether the
leaders can control the men or no. remains
to be seen. The largest military companies
in the state are under arms awaiting I'M;
structions from the governor and the ad-
jutant general.
Two thousand trained soldiers can be pu,

dispatch from Coal Creek states that AL IL
quiet there, but the garrison are at arms
and alert for any attack AT Oliver Springs
800 convicts are at work and there are few
! guards.
The leading miners say that unless some.
thing is done there is great danger OF blood.
