HUNTERS BEING HUNTED,
Tables Turned on the Ten

An End Put to the Fighting
at Coal Creek.
The Military Are Masters of the
Situation.
Captain Anderson Rescued From His
Perilous Position-The BeiIiger-

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 1g.-Un.
certainty no longer marks the condition
OF things at the seat of. war. Fort An
derson has been relieved, and is no
longer in state of siege, The tables
are turned, and the miners, instead Of
being hunters, are hunted. General
Carnes' forces reached the neighbor-
hood Of the beleaguered camp at day
break, in the rear OF the miner rfsbble.
On his arrival wild scene of confusion
ensued. The scouts had failed to do
their duty or had been captured, and
the position Of the miners was unknown.
The forward movement was therefore
cautiously made.
General Carnes and his heterogeneous
army OF citizens and about 300 militia
left the train at OfNntt'h station, and
pushed forward across the country.
From Offutt's to Coal creek, by the
route taken, it is laborious climb, and
as laborious q descent. As the column
come down the side of the mountain,
young Walthall mounted rock to get q
view. A shot rang out through the still
ness, and he fell headlong among his
comrades, dead. A body Of miners had
chosen sheltered rock which formed a
natural defense, and from it fred vol
ley which caused the casualty. Curl
ously enough, the miners had taken no
other provision to prevent rear attack.
General Carnes' advance guard at
once formed into charging line, and
after receiving scattering volley from
a few who failed to take the FIRST oppor-
tunity to escape, advanced rapidly.
Eighteen miners were captured.
Another of the sheriff's posee besides
young Walthall was killed, namely !:
Boss Givins, of Knoxville. Two bodies
of dead miners were found after the
the skirmish, and several wounded
we're taken in and cared for. With
these exceptions, the casualties among
the miners are unknown.
General sCarnes arrested two hundred
citizens of Coal creek, and told the
miners he would hold them until Capt.
Kellar Anderson was returned to him.
They delivered him to- General Carnes,
alive and well.
Carnes has telegraphed that he is in
possession and has plenty Of men and
ammunition.

who escaped and made his way to Of
iutt'H, where the wires were working
His report confirmed the rumors received
early in the night. General Anderson
was captured by Eve men, coming under
hag Of truce. They enticed him into
the village by promise OF safety. On
turning q corner he was met by mob,
who took him to- botel and demanded
that be sign an order to his lieutenant
for the surrender of the stockade
and fort. Though threatened with
hanging, he refused to sign, and asked
only that be be shot and his grave be
marked 80 his family could find it. He
may be lynched ere this. Desultory
firing lasted all night. The miners
claim they killed i've soldiers, and
Hilenced the howitzer. 1t iB silent, but
probably to save ammunition.
Another story Of yesterdays fight at
Goal creek is to the effect that twelve
miners were killed and twenty wound
ed. The attack by the miners was
made BY 5000 men, against 150. A
return IRE was ordered by Cen
eral Anderson. and q blaze
from every side of the fort
belehed forth. Some were killed
outright and many were wounded. AT
the atockade they stopped, and the men
clamberea over the walls to release the
conyicts. For some distance from the
stockade, higherup, doors and entrances
were thrown open and the miners at
last were in possession. They.
began to order the couvicts
to leave, and had them all
captured when General Anderson
all bis soldiers at the side
the miners were on, and, moving q
howitzer to that side, began lombard
ing them. The miners stopped in their
work Of releasing convicts, and turned
to get out of the way of this heavy
fusilade of rife bullets.
Again and again their leaders begged \
them to fight, but they rushed down the
hill to escape the fiarious onslaught of |
the soldiers, With never a halt and
never rally, they reached the bottom
OF the hill, bearing twelve dead and
more than twenty wounded miners with
them. They hurried far out of sight
and reached their guns. They then col
lected their shattered and wounded
forces. II is feared that more than half
a hundred were wounded, and that more
are dead than reported.

Taxpayers of Buffalo Object to tl,o
Presence of the Militia.
A BUFFALO, Aug. 19.-A committee of
taxpayers, living in the vicinity Of the
railroads where the strike is in progress.
called upon the sheriff today for the pur-
pose OF protesting against the great ex-
pense OF holding the militia here, when.
IN their opinion, there is absolutely no
need for it. The spokesmen stated that
they came to ask that,the National guard,
be removed, unless the sheriff could find
some way of footing the bill, other than
calilng on the Taxpayers. A committee,
OF strikers likewise called upon the
mayor to present the case. The eheriff
was sent for. and the com,
mittee said they wished him to
recall the troops. Some time
was spent in argning, during which the,
railroad corporations were loudly de-
nounced., The men asked that the olfig
clals appoint time when they would
give decided answer as to whether or
not the troops would be withdrawn. The
advisability of calling.a special meeting
OF the board OF supervisors to take action
in the matter of the retention of the,
troops, is being considered, and there is
every prospect that meeting will be
called. The county supervisors are pro-
testing vigorously against the expendi-
ture OF any more money.
A delegation of strikers called on the
sheriff this morning and demonstrated
with him for calling out the troops.
They said if he would send the troops
away. they would guarantee that no
violence would take place.

THE BATTLE AT AN END.

Details OF the Surrender of the Miners
at Coal Creek
Coal CREEK, Tenn, Aug. 19.-The
battle at Coal creek 10 at an end. When
Major Carpenter turned into the noun
tains at Offntt's last night, with
1873 brave men, the night was
perfectly dark. Although the major
was familiar with every by-path in the
black wilds, it was found difficult to
keep the direction, as not even the stars
were shining. After while four men
appeared and offered to guide the party.
Major Carpenter reluctantly accepted
the offer, and the march was again taken
up, and at better speed. Be-
tween 5 and 6 O'Clock, while entirely
unconscious of danger, the men were
fired upon from behind. The miners
lay behind a stone ledge. Their broad
side moved down Volunteers John Walt
hall and Bush Givens, of Knoxville, and
wounded Volunteer Tom Csrter, also Of
Knoxville.
Major Carpenters men wheeled and
fought bravely, but retreat was neces-
sary, they fighting all the way. The
volunteers fell back to Clinton, six
miles, reaching there at noon.
In the meantime General Carnes had
established himself at Offutt's to await
daylight. With the first streak OF dawn
the advance on Coal Creek was be-

that the bullets could be heard whistling
by the soldiers. The soldiers returned
the fire. At noon General Carnes cap.

leased on their promise to deliver Cap
tain Anderson. At the appointed houl
nothing was to be seen of either Cap
tain Anderson or of the miners.
Then General Games entered Goa
creek. There he found that deeultory
| fighting had been going on between the
troops and miners at Fort Anderson all
day. The miners surrendered at 4 &c
| p. m. General Anderson was restored
to command and peace declared. Aftel
reaching Clinton, Major Carpenter
men, although they had not slept any
for twenty-four hours, went by traiI
directly to Goal creek and reported Il

They were then sent to Knoxville will

CHICAGO, Aug. 18 Grand Secretary
Simsrott, of the Switchmen's union,
says: AS long as the situation in BUT.
