TIIK TIIOOI'S COXTKOR..

COAT, CIIEKK, Tenn., Aug. 20.—Tennessee is once, more the sovereign of linr own domain. Hy force and arms tho rioting miners were forced to yield control of Coal Creek Friday, and law and order triumphs. The sweeping victory of the day is marred by butouo thing. Two gallant young men fell before the lire of cowardly bushwhackers, and the city of Knoxville in mourning while the smile of victory is yet upon the face of the state. It was not until now that the people of the state full}* appreciated the perilous position of the Coal Creek R-arrlsor., and then the entire state rose as one man and the march to Coal Creek was begun. Hy midnight Friday night 1,ar7 men were mussed at Clinton ready to go to the rescue of Capt. Anderson and his men. The result came qeiekly.

Minor* (tu the lluti.

Capt. Anderson has been relensed and is again with his command. (5en. Carncs is in command of the situation at Coal Creek. Two hundred lawless citizcns are under arrest for treason. The miners are all on the run.

Story of thfi Murelt.

The story of the inarch of Carncs' men and the attempted march of the Knoxville posse with Col. Woolford's portion of the Third regiment is interesting. The night was very dark and a penetrating rain soon drenched the soldiers to the skin. On they went over the rough mountain toward Coal Creek.

Atiuokot from AmtiuKh.

It was about midnipbt whon t.l-.ey struck the center of the wildest portion of the country. A narrow path led between two dangerous points. To tho right rose a tull mountain with huge bowlders hanging over the path. To the It ft a ledge of rocks afforded a secure hiding place for any miners who might happen to notice it. On through the rain went the soldiers, under Mnj. Carpenter and V?ol ford's boys. They were unconscious of any danger. The citizens were marching ahead of the troops. In an instant a flash was seen. Then the report of a rifle. A perfect rattle of shots followed and two men fell dead among their comrades. Forty miners had hidden in the ledge of rock and awaited the coming of the men. Then as they passed the defile had bushwhacked the unsuspecting volunteers, who little dreamed of any danger.

Fear at tlrst seized the men then they fired at the retreating forms of the forty assailants. The assassins fled and the little knot kept on until exhausted and wet they laid down in the woods to sleep until daylight.

They could not stand the accommodations of nature and soon agreed to move. Ahead was Coal Creek and their assailants behind, Clinton and (Jen. Carncs. They chose to go to (!en. Carncs.

I'VIt Hack (o Clinton.

Hack to Clinton fell the vanguard. Just before "J o'clock (ien. Carncs gave the order to march and the movement to tho rescue was again taken up. The weary watchers at Camp Anderson were surprised to see Carncs riding at the head of (10(1 men at the very gate of the stockade. A cheer went up fiom the besieged soldiers as the Memphis chieftain waved his sword as a signal that they were safi at last. The miners viewed the arrival of the troops with alarm. The strujrgle was short and bloodless. I'p to the fort went the vistors and the old flag again kissed the. breeze as it was hauled by-the boys who had forced so dangerous a march to get to the fort.

To »xot something to eat was the question first presented. This did noi take lonjj to settle, as the fort commissary was stocked with all kinds of provisions. ("apt. Anderson, whose gallant conduct. even while In the face of death was chronicled last night, was still captive in the hands of the miners, "lie must be rescued," said alt of tin men. The miners declared that he should be given up at 1 o'eloolf in the afternoon. "We want him now," came back the reply.

II was agreed that unless the captain was handed over promptly a detachment would go to the mountains and take him by foroe.

CLL]LT. A II(11'MOIL 1.1 .It'll!T I'll.

The troops wanted ('apt. Anderson, and they at once arrested UOU citizens of Coal Creek, whom they swore they would hold until Anderson was given them. This summary action had the effect to make the outlaws speedily agriM* 'o let (.'apt. Anderson return to his men.

At li o'clock -100 men came to the garrison with the captain and formully gave, liiin to his men. Touching was the scent', that followed. The old lender, who had faced death ithout flinch ing. broke down and wept as his force of men crowded around him and shook his hands. There was indeed joy in the camp. "1 knew It, boys," he said "They couldn't run you, even if 1 us in the mine hole."

The outlaws had fled the iiioun tains by this time and the field was clear before the garrison. A few stray shots were heard on the heights, but no one was hurl by them, and taps sounded on a happy garrison even though tho baud of death had touched its circle.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 18U2.

Carnes over his success. Adjt. Gen. Norman wired the posse which had been formed at Chattanooga Saturday to await further orders before going to Coal Creek. He deemed the force now in the field suHieicnt. to hold down the situation without any accessions to its number.

The force now in the field in command of (Jen. -Samuel T. Carnes is composed of men of rare nerve and pluck, and they can be depended upon in any emergency.

Want tho Outlaws Arretted. Many tolcyrams have been sent by citizens to Jen. Carnes. (k'lnandinir that ho arrest tho outlaw miners ami brinjr them to justice. (Jen. Carnes has now restored telegraphic communication with the outside world, and event* at Coal Creek may be known in few minutes after their ocenrrenee. ll is not known what the morrow may brinif, and the arrest of the outlaws may cost more life and blood.

Aritro*N from the Oovi'ruor. NASMVII.I.K, Tenn., ANY. 20.—Tho following address to the public was issued yesterday by Gov. lluohanan:

To UIO lVoplo of TCTIIK'SHOO: That theru is an insurrection In the mining districts ol Tennessee is a fact well known to Uio public. As many wild rumors and afniaational reports have gained circulation 1 drein it wise at present to make the following statement* brief to the public: A com plete and detailed account according to the records on file at this oltlce of these troubles will hereafter bo made public. Information was received at this o/llco August 13 that Tracy City branch prison had surrendered to the miners and the stockade was burned. On Sunday, August li, the superintendent of prisons oidored an additional warden and jruards to rolnforee Imnau stockade On Monday, August 15, reliable information was recelvort that the stockade at Inmuu was threatened with attack. The Hlierin of the county of Marion was ordered to suminou a pto.se and protcct the stockade, but.failed to execute the order, and tho blockade was captured by the miners. Tho sheriff failed to obey the order. The troops from Knoxvillreached Oliver Springs the troops from Chattanooga were Intercepted. stockade was attacked by the miners, wh« were repulsed, but it dually capitulated to an overpowering-force. Fwarlng a similar outbreak at Oliver Springs,without waiting for ufltcial information I at once telegraphed the sheriff of Morgan county to summon a, large posse and protect the stockade. The nearest .military forces—the Chaltauooga aud Knoxville companies—were ordered to go at once to the scene of action. 1 ordered the sheriffs of Hamilton and ICnox counties to supplement the regular troops by 500 men each, and the sheriffs of Shelby and Davidson to furnish I.(XX) m«*n each, and the sheriffs of other counties to furnish their respective quota. 1 ordered (Sen. Carncs. with the forces at his disposal, to proceed a»i rapidly as possible to Coal Creek and disperse the mob. I have entire confidence In the skill and bravery of Gen. Kellm Anderson, who is in command of the stab forces at Cosil Creek and occupies a strongh fortified position. The last odlctal reports were that Gen. Carnes, with a strong force, hau reached within a few miiet* of Coal Creek. Wednesday. August 17, having obtuined reliable information of the strength of the miners and their purpose to attack the state troops at Coal ('reek. I ordered the entire military forces of the stale to concentrate at Knoxville under the command of Gen. S. T. Carnes, brigadier general N. O. S. T. 1 have every reason to believe that the insurrection will be quelled. To render this result certain additional forces are being sent as reinforcements as rapiply as they can Le assembled and transported. Some sheriffs and cittKcns have gallantly mad voluntary offers of assistance and hftvo been gladly received. It is the purposw ot the executive department to use every power conferred on it by the constitution ami the law* to restore order and preserve the maintenance of the law. I therefore call on every patriotir citizen to hold himself in readiness in case his services should be needed by the state..

liurrAi.o, N. V., Aug. U0. —It can now be said almost certainly that the locomotive firemen on the Lehigh, Krie, Lake .Shore, West Shore and Jiow York Central roads will go out between 0 o'clock and Sunday morning.

The members of tho Urotherhood of Trainmen and Conductors on the above roads and possibly the telegraphers will follow the firemen. The strike, should it, occur, will be the outcome of a secret meeting of the live local bulges of.firemen, where it was decided that the .V.I7 men of the Firemen's Hrotherliood irc unanimously in favor of declaring a strike on the ICrie, Lake Shore, Lehigh, West Shore anil Central roads.

To lJo Sympathetic.

The strike will be sympathetic and no bill of grievances will lie presented. However, the firemen will insist, that if the switchmen are given the ten-hour system it shall apply to the in also. Otherwise it would be direct discrimination against their organization. It will not be confined to the yards, but will extend to all men running out of tufValo.

A I'll He of Now or Never.

About 800 men will be ordered but if the strike occurs. Lehigh lodge has fifty members, West Shore lodge about the same number and Eric lodge 140 members. The firemen on the Lake Shore and Central belong to one lodge.

o. N. Y.. Aug.

Crews were at work handling freight cars at the Ohio street freight house of the New York Central until shortly before 11 o'clock Friday night. Then work was abandoned. A crowd of men, one of whom was recognized as a switchman who was in the employ of the road until tile strike was begun, had gathered on the Lackawanna trestle which crosses the Central tracks at Ohio street. The crow jecrod at the. men who were at work, and finally began throwing bricks and stones nt thein. Not one of the workmen was lilt, but two soldiers were struck by missiles, though not seriously hurt. The Thirteenth regiment of New York is stationed at this point, and a detachment was sent up on the trestle to drive the mob away. They had all lied, however, before the soldiers mounted the structure. Mr. Voorhecs communicatcd with (Jen. Doyle, who advised that no further attempt be made to handle cars.

Word was received from military headquarters at" East Huil'nlo late Friday night of trouble there. It was reported that a tralnload of soldiers had been attacked with stones liv strikers and that several arrests had been made. Shots were fired, but no one hurt.

I'Velght Moving

Some freight was moved not hundreds of care, to be sure, but enough to show that a ba ,onet Is a good argument. The Lehigh Valley had eightysix new men at work, but they did little labor nnd were glad when quitting time came. The New York Central, however, did better. Last night it was loading grain at its elevators, and during the day and evening thirteen trains loft the city. The Krie was in luck it had ten engines, 117 men nt noon, and twenty more before nightfall. Three trains came in and five, went out. The non-union crews of the Lake Shore did little except look after live stock and perishable freight.

Not Too Many Troopw.

(Jen. Doyle, commander in chief of tho troops, does not think the. strike will lust much longer, aud expressed his opinion that, freight will be running out of ltufTalo just as smoothly and rapidly as ever in a day or two. In reply to question as to the need of any more troops he said: "I notice by some of the evening papers ttiut the impression has gone abroad that the force is prepondcrously large. Let me tell you that every few minutes I am getting telephone messages from the oflleers in command of the various camps stating that they have not men enough to properly patrol districts assigned to them." (iraud MitKter Swreney'n View*. lirKi'Ai.y, N. Y„ Aug.
