(pY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.


ROCHESTER,, July 26. 1877.
Tho change which few hours have wrought In the
great trunk nes OF this State something 50 marvel
lous US almost to exceed belief Yesterday drove
from Hornellsville to Corning, a distance OF forty
miles following the train which carried Donahue 10
New York. such the distractions on the rail-
way that my wagon made good time the tram. The
cks basked IDLY sun, and tho stations were as
dull and stless timc would again
AT Corning business mon were complaining OF the en-
barge and won't hopeless!y TO bed. Morning camo anu
with the that the strike the Erie was over;
that the going 10 work, and that trains would
run regularly this very day. The news II not too good
true, almost TOO good to be believed but in
coming and outgoing trains soon confirmed It, Ac-
tvity manifested itself In every direction, and tho
freight trains began move. The Erie was alive
again. and boeve tho Buffalo division WAS mover
more active or orderly than 1t was yesterday. Tho
change was simply miraculous, but the miracle was
itself proof of the powor Of the men who yesterday
were strikers and day tho obedient OF
the company.


SITUATION ON THE CENTRAL


On tho Central road the change more
astonishing. The strike here is not avowedly,
but yet It Is practically, over. Trains
running with good deal Of regularity,
aud the freight is moving How mat
tcrs stand even the officers Of tho company
at loss explain. They not confident, but hope
iul, and say that there has not been what may be
called strike on the road; aud yet It is not certain
evening called on Mr. Burrows, tho superintend
of the DIVISION and no assured mo that everything
looked bright for the future. "We had q train
through from Chicago to-day" he SAID, "and
the ST. Louis express the East Will be in at mid
night. being an hour late owing to the quantity Of
baggage she has had to handle." looked out OF the
window and long train OF freight moving
westward. ''Thcrc," he remarked, pointing to the
train 's the evidence offer that the strike
is over, and that Is about all l Know about it," We
cannot tell what day may bring forth, but to-day
everything IS all right II may that tomorrow the
great strike will be a matter OF history.
