CIIKEK.

KXOXVII.I.E,

Tenn., Aug. 10.—It is

rumored here that 150 soldiers whipped 3,000 miners at Coal Creek Thursday. It is said that twelve miners are dead and nearly twenty wounded. The fight began in the afternoon at 2 o'clock. Gen. Anderson with his little garrison is holding Coal Creek until the arrilval of the First and Second rcgiments'with 1,000 men and the posse of 8,000 men under six sheriffs, who arc moving- swiftly on special trains to the scene, and march thence to the relief and rescue of Fort Anderson.

Surrender Deinuuded.

A committee of miners waited on Gen. Anderson Thursday morning and asked him to surrender. They said they had had enough of bloodshed and wanted ponce, but the convicts were to be turned over to tliem and the soldiers capitulate. (Jen. Anderson told them to go back and wait until the governor acted, but only death stared them in the face if they attacked the fort.

Th« Attack.

A few minutes before 2 o'clook the miners began the attack. There were 3,000 of them, armed with all sorts of weapons. The return tire was ordered by Gen. Anderson, and a bla/.e of tire from every side of the fort belched out. .Some were kille I outright and many wounded. At the stockade they stopped and men clutnbered over the walls to release the convicts. The fort Is some distance from the stockade and liighor up. The doors and entrances were thrown open, and the miners were at last in possession. lined the Howitzer*.

They began to order the convicts to leave and had them all captured when Gen. Anderson assembled all his soldiers at the side the miners wore on and, moving the howitzer to that sidi: began to bombard them. The miner stopped in the work of releasing the convicts and turned to get out of the way of the heavy fusilade of ritlc bullets. Again and again their leaders bogged them to fight, but they rushed down the hill to escape the furious onslaught of the soldiers.

Twelv® \Veri» Klllnd.

With never a halt and never a rally they reaolied the bottom of the hill, bearing twelve dead and more than twenty wounded miners with them. They hurried far out of the sight and reach of the guns. They then collected their shattered und wounded force and it is feared there are more than a half hundred wounded and more dead than reported.

Federal Aid Xcetlcil.

Opininion is growing that an awful loss of life of good citizens and inno cent men can only be averted by prompt action of the governor in cali ing on the president to send federa troops to the scene of action. (Sen. Andcmoii Captured.

Latest advices from Coal Creels xa that Gen. Anderson has been captured by the miners. A lvnoxvillc traveling man who arrived Thursday night says that three miners went to Camp Anderson under a flag of truce. Thinking they had come, as they had on several pecasions before, to hold a conference with him the general walked outside his lines and down to where the miners stood, lie was immediately seized, and using him as a shield the miners took him down the hill. The men in the fort were afraid to tire when *hey at last realized what was beingdonp for fear of killing their commander. IU- was taken through excited mobs of miners who were .veiling: "llang him." etc.,

Passenger trains have been wantonly seized and the occupants loft on a siding, whi'e the rioters took the engines and engineers t« further their own purposes, and not hand has been raised by the sworn officers of the law to prevent them or protect the property.

Sympathy Against the Miner*. A report came late that Oen. Andrrson has been removed from the hotel and that he will be killed. If 'this prates true the vengeance of the people will be awful. Public sympathy is now entirely against the miners.

Miners from Kentucky are swarming to Coal Creek, and it is reported that they have captured a Uatling gun from some militia company and are bringing it with them. If (Jen. Carnes reaches Coal Creek he will open telegraphic connection with Knoxville, having wire, linemen and operators with him.

Marching to the Front.

The streets of Knoxville have been crowded all day with excited people waiting for the latest report from Coal Creek, the seat of war. A few minutes before 2 o'clock Sheriff Holloway received the following telegram from Nashville:

C'ol. Wolford in in lvnoxvilW You muy cooperate with him until (Jen. CaniR arrivo Ann men at any cost. If you can 11 ltd any stall guns in Knoxville take them. Press in private arms if nti-tijuiry.

JOHN

P. HINJUANAN."

The courthouse bell soon rang out the riot alarm. The men who hud been dispersed by the sheriff Wednesday with orders to respond when they heard the bell quickly understood its meaning and each one rushed to the courthouse. The armory of the University ol Tennessee was quickly gutted of all its {iruib, while each hardware store in the city furnished all the arms it had In stock. A full wagon load of rill was obtained in this way. These were taken to the courthouse yard, where the men were reporting for duty.

AAsntiibllng tli SoltUi*r*.

Col. Wolford, »f Chattanoo'ii, with fifty soldiers from llarriinan, had ar rived during the morning. These witl all the available men from the Knoxville militia were hastily massed at tin armory of the zouaves where they wen equipped with knapsacks, blankets and everything to make them ready for "heavy" marching. At the courthouse the sheriff's posse had assembled. Tin soldiers and sheriff's posse did not await the coming of Oen. Cams as instructed by the governor.

At S:20 o'clock seventy-five soldiers under command of Col. Wolford left the armory and proceeded to the depot at doubie-quick time. Not live ininuto later the sheriff's posse marched through Gay street 200 strong. A halt was culled before eaci hardware store, and at each place all the cartridges avallabl, were taken. The railroad yards were reached at ::4r o'clock, and there special train was in waiting for th men. Five conches were quickly tilled by soldiers and citizens under arms and they started. After seeing his first detachment off Sheriff Holloway re turned to the city and again began tin work of summoning another posse ol citizens.

Would Not II. Turn,M( A.lriu. At Clinton they were met by a uum ber of citizens of Knoxville, C'lintoi and Coal Creek who urged the abso lute madness of going forward without reinforcements. A thousand armed miners, they said, wore drawn up ready to live upon them as they alighted from the train, and dynamite was everywhere. Maj. Carpenter heard them through, and then turning to his men said: "Hoys, I guess we will go on.' And they went.

The wires are. down and beyond Clinton they have not been heard from. At Clinton the sounds of battle arc plainly heard and there is no doubt that deadly lighting rages beyond the mountain. Tiie possible fate of the Knoxviilc troops is leaking out from the newspaper and telegraph otlices und thousands of angry, excited men line the streets and curse the miners for their madness. At 8 o'clock p. in. 700 soldiers and the sheriff's posses from Memphis, Nashville, Murfreesboro, •te., fully equipped and carrying, a Uatling- gun, arrivod in the city and were at once shipped to Clinton.

STII.I. SPREADING.

IUTFAI.O, N. Y.,

Aug.

HI.—1The

sixth

day of the switchmen's strike in this city closed with increasing complications. The leaders of this strike have witnessed the movement ami mass-ing-ot troops with growing determination to meet every advance of their opponents with a counter strike. Before noon S,000 troops in the Mate service will be upon the field here to watch and control about 800 strikers. The presence c»f so large a number of soldiers is relied upon by the railway officials as a cover under which the.v may put to work non-union men already engagod to break the freight blockade. What the cc'v.ter stroke of the strike leaders may be to ibis situation is problematic, but it is not beyond the range of near possibilities that the. firemen and the trainmen on all the lines where strikes now prevail lhaj* be called out

Nlekrl-I'iat« Mpn Uo Out.

The latest uddition of strength to the striking switchmen was ninety m«n iu the Nickel-Flute yards, who struck because asked to handle boycotted freight. Now the switchmen upon the entire Vnnderbilt system in this vicinity are out. The Lake. Shore men, to be sure, were working on the western schedule at the same rates Cor which their colleagues in HiUT:ilo went on strike last Saturday. They went out solely to add strength to the movement of their fellows. The N'ickcl-Fiate road men who went out struck only out of sympathy, for they are receiving at least ten per cent, higher rates than the men who originated the strike. The Michigan Central, which is of the Yanderbilt system, practically lias mo yards in llulVaio, it's switching being done oil the Central's tracks.

Line* AtTeeted.

The leaders of the striking men hold that the Vnnderbilt roads are tied up and Inactive at this point. They urge in addition that the Krie, the Lehigh Valley und the Huffalo Creek roads are likewise paralyzed by the strike. They feel that the movement against the roads by the men has now roachcd such a magnitude and completeness in this locality thnt it may not be necessary for any men in allied trades to be called out.at this point- The reserve ground for operations is a possible calling out of the switchmen on the Delaware, Lackawana & Western llutTalo, Rochester &. Pittsburgh, and the Western New York A Pennsylvania roads. The relations of these roads with the strike leader's are extremoly amicable and they will not be called out except to make the strike absolutely complete in tl.i» vicinity.

It is more probable that the firemen aud the trainmen will be called out on the lines already affected by the switchmen's strike.

The switchmen ol' the various roads affected here may be called out at Suspension Bridge. Hornellsville. Jersey City and Rochester. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, which has already conceded the rate demands of the men, went even further and formally notified its employes that they would not be asked to handle a pound of boycotted freight. The result is thnt the men of thnt road arc extremely loyal to it. One of them in the yards remarked that he nnd liis colleagues would be ready even to light for their employers.

May JCxteml Kant und Wrnt. It is well to remember !n weighing the claims and statements of the strikers that this movement, unlike that of two years ago upon the Central. bears the stamp of ofiioiul regularity. It has been handled Hud directed with deliberation, and the strikers say that if deemed necessary in the next three days the movement will bo extended from New York to Chicago.

The Sit nation.

As tho situation now stands there will be a general strike, involving the engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen on the Lcliigh, Krie, Central, West Shore aud Lake Shore, by Saluiday or Sunday or the strike will have been regarded as a flat failure. The grand oHicers of all the unions are either in this city or are within easy cull. Chief Arthur of the ltrotherliood of Locomotive Engineers is In Toronto attending the convention of the Canadian branch of

:.he

brother

hood that is now in session in that city. The deliberations will close on Saturday, and he will probably come to Huffalo lit that time if ho is not called here "sooner.

The meeting of the firemen thisevening will bo one of the most important crises in tho strike. If the firemen conclude to go out it will be. on all the lines on which tho switchmen are outTlie trainmen will hold a meeting at some time between now aud this evening. Tlicy will doubtless act in conjunction with the firemen. The conductors Care known to be In touch with the other three organizations, nnd if the climax is reached they will act in harmony with them. The strike seems to be epidemic, and there is no telling how fast or far it will spread.

Willing to Arbitrate.

At the. conference held Wednesdny by the state board of arbitration and the attorneys of the New York Central and the Lehigh Valley systems the board was unable to obtuin nny definite answer from them as to whether their companies would submit the trouble with their workmen to arbitration. The attorneys said they had no authority to answer. Thursday, in order to bring tho matter to focus, the board decidcd to uddraiw

President McLeod, of the Heading road, answered that the time for arbitration had passed when the men abandoned the services of the company, destroyed its property anil threatened to murder its employes. They are now, therefore, in his judgment, not entitled to any consideration other than that of outlaws.

Mr. Webb, third vice president of the New York Central road, replied that there was not. to his knowledge, any difference or grievance existing between the company and its employes. Some switchmen had left the company's service, not because of any dissatisfaction, but because they were aware that under the existing condition of affairs there was ?iot sufficient available force to give proper protection to those who chose to remain at work. *\t present the road's operatimr force in nnd about the city is full, and there Is no obstruction of any kind in its freight service except by lawless interference. Foi these reasons, he says, itVeeins unnecessary to consent to arbitration.
