W D#A*«is, f»i* mining, conWe the heartrending history of Ibe awful, coal mine dwaster ut Pfymoatb, Penn»ylv»«l». It teems to us nothing lets than criminal disregard of human life to send hundreds of men down into a mine, with only one way of egrees, and that by a shaft so arranged as to have every possible liability to take fire-: There is no practical necessity for incurring such awful risks. But the majority of corporations seem ready to tacrifice any number of lives if, by so doing, they may swell tbeir gain.. Let tbem only put money in their coffers, and tbey care not if "it has tbo eldest primal curse upon it."

BY TEXEGKAjf II miirWk ¥*»*i Mine Disaster-

Bcrahton, Pa.,11a. m. Sept. 7.—The donkey engine and fan were put in oper ation about an hour since, driving in fresh air to tbe shaft. Messrs. Ckrson and Davis then went down a hundred feet and thdfi lowered lights to within 15 fe«t of tbo bottom of the shaft. Tb lights burned freely. After making such observations as were poasiblo tbey returned, and the miners who have formed a committee to go down are now preparing to descend to retnove obstructions and explore in search of their brethren. Tb+u sands of miners, women and childijef^ cover the hills and grounds in the vicinity. A committee is circulating among the immense throng for subscriptions for Che widows and orphans, whs number ofer six hundred

Special trains this morning ran ffdm here to Avondale every hour free, until ll o'clock, when tbe crowds became so dense that they obstructed the relief parties, and they were suspended. The whole community is thrilled with horror here^at the great calamity. All work is suspended in tbe mines in this vicinity and nearly the whole force of miners in tbeir mining suits have gone to Avondale to remain till their, brethren, are brought cut dead or alive.

Thousands h&Ve gbnfe from,lhi» direction alone, and the whotO country is aroused and flocking to the scene of the disaster* In the 4th, &th and 6tb, or Hyde Park wards of this city, the streets are thronged with women, the relatives and friends of the men in the Avondale pit, eagerly beseeching every, person Arriving from below for inforn^jrtipipj aid their weeping fills the air.

Mining cannot be resumed at any of: the works of the Delaware, Lackavanna and Western Bailroad Company's mines within a week, not at least, until,,all -tbe' farieralrof the AfondalJd&d «r#ovir.

Tbo fact of the long and severe strike, just ended, adds greatly to the destitution, which'will follow the calamity. The widows and orphan swill number not le^s than'600.

At 3 o'clock the crowd was cleared, and a rope enclosure made around the mouth of the shaft by the police. Tbe engine and fan were get tp work at 9:40, and shortly after it was connected wjtb tl)e canvas conductor that reaches- to the bottom of the shaft, 327 feet. I

At 10:20 Superintendent Corwin, of the Hampton mine, and J. P. Davis, carpenter, of Avondale, descended 100 tfeeVend lowered three lamps to 'within 16 feet of the bottom of the shaft. The lamps burned freely. After remaining in the shaft 40 minutes they returned. At 11:15 Geo. T- Morgan. John Howell, Thos. Davis and Thos. B. Donis, a committee of miners descended the shaft slowly and with care. At 11:35 tbey asoended to the mouth of the shaft, reporting that after leaving the platfotm on^which th8y went doWn they proceeded about 30 feet into the gangway and finding a great deal of Carbonic acid gas and black damp returned, after conveying tbe end of the large canvas jbag air ppnduotor a# far into the mine 'as they wei}i.

T^e damp was between two and thr^ feet deep on the bottom of the tnine. At 11:55, Reese Evans, Thomas .Carson, Chas. Jones and Isaac Thomas, another miners' committee, began descent into the shaft. The fan was kept constantly in motion during all thp time forcing fresh air into the mine. 1 p. m.—The second parly of men retufned safely. They penetrated the gangway a distance of seventy five feet and found the large doors wide open. They then went a hundred feet further in on|B of the passages and foutidli'Emall door closed. After opening this door to give circulation of air around the entrance they returned. Had this small door beeh opened there might have been a shade of hope, and the gas and smoke and fire would have had free passage around thb circuit and out again. As it is, the fears are that smoke has penetrated the inner mine and suffocated all the men. The niain doorway leading to tha^nme has not yet been reached.

The third set of menj four in number, went down and came back in fifteen minutes, two of tbem so overcame with the effects of gas that they are being restored with .difficulty. Tbe gas is cOthing out of the outer mine very fast since the passage way was opened. The wildest excitement prevails and the mass of people are kept back with gnat difficulty. 1:30 p. m.—The two mfntirs "are saved at last. It teenre idleto p&ii Itte t^ any further attempt'to go downi Asloog.ab the gas- ia bo strong no -aitempt cat 'Of courso be made to reach tbe main dooi', or to penetrate the mine till the outer gangway is cleared of g&*- *It"ia itndkr tain how long this will Jake

There is really no ground to frope that a single life remaios of those wh6 were at work io the mine. Everybody gived them up, and nothing, proyably,-temaini to be done but to recover the bodies.

New York, Sept. 7.—A Georgia letter says the damage in that State to tbe cotton crop caused by the excessive heat and drought of the latter half of August is extensive and irreparable. The yield of the State has been diminished fully one-hal^ and in many places more than that. The effects upon the fortunes of the planters is disastrous, though it is at le^st probable that the biger price consequent upon the abridged supply will in a great degree compensate for the apparent loss. lULOOIBS.
