CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Aug. 22.-The men
who released the convict miners at Inman
have promised 70 surrender provided they
are assured reasonable bond will be
fixed. The sheriff reported this to Judge
Moon and Acknowledgement Brown. They
requested the sheriff to produce
the prisoners and they would then
consider the matter of bonds. Gov
ernor Buchanan instructed the attorney
general TO leave nothing undone to bring
in all who participated in the riots. to
employ the best counsel to assist him, and
If the sheriff Of Marion county could not,
with the assistance of citizens of the
county, bring the men to trial, he would
send sufficient military to do so. The
governor informed Attorney-Generai
Brown that the law would be enforced at
all hazards. The determination of the
authorities has had a salutary feet.
Coal CREEK, Tenn, Aug. 2.-Gene'al
Carnes says this evening:
The prisoners are Just beginning 70 open
their mouths, and some startling developments
viii be madetin q short while. They all belong
to secret osth-bound order, and
. the penalty Of their obligation is
death. consequently they have been close
~ clans heretofore. We got several confessions
from them today, which, az this stage of the
proceedings It would be unwise TO give out but
i state this much, that when they are made
known they viii create much surprise.
George Irish, the notorious miner and
leader. was brought 20 Coal Creek ut II 80
tonight. At II 30 p. m. a detachment Of
soldiers forcibly entered the telegraph Of
fee and examined files to find out the adj
dresses and names of miners.
All the excitement seems to have sud-
denly subsidized, and the opinion is pecom-
ing general that there will be no further
trouble, although rn2lors can be heard on
all sides, which, when traced up, turn out
be false. A cain, view of the situation
makes it apparent that there is little to be
done except to maintain the peace that
has been established and punish the men
who have outraged all law and order. The
names of the killed are: John Neil, George
Miller, Jake Whitson, a negro, shot at
Briceviile, and negro named George
Robbins, who was killed by train. La
Dor Commissioner and Mine Inspector
Ford was released this afternoon under
$4,000 bonds. Battery A was reinforced
today by two 3-inch rifles and a supply of
ammunition. Scouting parties have been
out as usual all day long, and the number of
prisoners was increased by several new
captures, but they report nothing start
ling as having happened, and as having
seen no evidence of warlike nature. The
troops are oil in good spirits, and evidently
relish an opportunity for real work even
though it is not actual war.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 22.-Information has
been received by the governor to the effect
that quiet prevails at Coal Greek, but that
troops will be held in readiness for any
movement on the part of the miners. The

the conference was not given out, but
enough was stated by officials and lessees

victs will be returned speedily to the
mines. and the state will protect them in
90 doing.
