We ire bappf to know (hat the men who laJne coal ia the icJnity of Wheeling hate rerer ret experienced the hard* shi|M of tho*e who arc employed In the* anthracite region* of Pennsylvania. In! that region the coal trade luu been great* the financial straits of the leading coal mining and carrying compasiM hare proved that the work of mining coal has been overdont. 80 long u an artificial combination;k#pt; op the price of |coal beyond the normal rates, the mine owners could pay wages which afforded a decent iirirg to their men. Bat when the combination fell to pieces, as it was certain to do, and active competition re* duced price* and profits, many of the owners found a reduction of wages to the lowest point one ol the necessities of their struggle for existence. The following from a Scranton letter published in the Sow lork l'otl, is t specimen picture ox j tho reault; j ''There was one man tn the crowd, an j Irishman, whom I addressed. He I* emgiloyed in the Continental Mine of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,ami is u laborer. Having paid his neceHsary expense! to the company, at the end of l?-t month ho hud $10.

This h tie way in which the matter wa? determined: Seven men who in , erne way bid-influence enough to bring ihe strike about or to prevent it discos* 1 !cd tho question in a bar-room,by the light jf a tallow candle. They had no desire i :o join in a'strike for higher wages, their : >nly gjicvance being that certain men Kid been discharged wliom they would lave liked to have reinstated. They cnew, of course, that to join in the strike it that time mu3t involvo considerable om and considerable danger to themlelve*. They knew that by striking they would inflict serious injury upon the company which gave them their work and Lheir wage?, and upon tha company at large, with whose prosperity their own was inseparably bound. They wero not convinced that they ought to bring all these evils upon themselves and oilier*, but instead of deciding the question as sensible men should have ilonc, instead of weighing the arguments on each side, and then submitting the matter to their better judgments, they chose to eubititutc the feeble flicker of the tallow candle for the light of reason, and they agreed that they would cast the candle on the floor,and abide by the decition of mere chance. If the flame should go out, they would engage in the btrike; if not, they would continue to work. They made the experiment; the candle flame expired, and the men brought upon themselves the evils of an unnecessary strike. I.cttcrlrom Iter. Frauk Hall. Mankassah, Va , August, 1877. EJittm laUlligtncer: ! In the course of my traveli I find my- 1 hclf at last on the sacred soil of the Old Domiuion, and am aa you tee at present treading on historic ground. This place is about aeven milei from the "Henry House," which atood in the midnt of the Cri-fc and second Hull Rnn battles. Mrs. Henry waa aick in this house when the linit "battle began. The family in their conccrn for her aafety, took her out into a gully not far from the house. It was not long, however, | till they yielded to her entreaties and took her back. Just an they placed her upon the bed, a minnio ball "entered the dwelling and intKcted upon. her a fatal wound. She now lieu hurried in the yard. The grounds whero the battles ; fforo act in array are beautiful, if indeed 1 lucb a term be applicable to nuch a accne. . The ground rises gradually on either ' lido of an old country road. Thoxwpeclive armies being on the opposite aide* of thid road when the baltlea began; neither having much advantage over the other in the attitude. I did not attempt Lo pau over much of the battle field. Uut few traces of the battle are to be *een. In . the yard ot the llenr? IIouiic, there la a monument erected and dedicated to the ; memory of tbo Federal soldiers who fell in the flrat battle. The monument in built of brown ptone. Tbo abaft i* about 1 fifteen feot high, conn shaped and but- , rnouuted by a tthclL. Four little turret* at tbo bine, about three feet high, al?o support shell*, which look u though they were still charged and ready for the work a! death. It is lomewhat dilapidated, though not defaced. No ono can tell by looking at it whether it commemoratea h'ederaia or Confederate*. Those who erected the monument and who had the inscription* put upon it, seemed to hare i very high and delicate regard for the celing* of their Southern antagonists, l-pon the baie, are fragment* ot shells, jsvonet* and cuua. On one of it* fare* ia thin inscription, "Id memory of the patriot" who fell at Bull Run, July 21 nt, 1861." Ou the opposite face, 'Krected June 10th, 1865. On it* haie ire five board* painted white, on which lie fallowing inscription* are lettered in slack: "Under thia monument are the todies of four Confederate noldiero, who if ere killed in tho battle of the 21it of . July, 3S01." Ontheaecoml: "Not far rom this monument is the ipot where iicn. Jackson waa wounded, and where le held the position, 21it July, 1561, which K*ve him the title of Stonewall Jnckaou." On another : "Not far from i :hi* monument are the rpota where fell ; the Confederate General Bee and Jolonela Bartain, JFieher and Man;udi, in th* battle of July 21et, 1861." Again: Around this monument were :aptured the Batteries of Ricketta and [iriffin (Sherman'* Battery) in the battle Df the Slit of July, 1861." And* lastly, 4on this ground General Robert E. Leo cloaed the battlo of the 28tb, 29th and < 30th of August, 18C2, before going into 1 Maryland." Take all these together, they certainly make op a strange medley. An intelligent lady at Manaaeas told me that after the firat battle, from tome cause, the baryta* of tbe Federal eoldlen was impended for about two week*. When it was resumed the fttench from tbe dead bodies vu so great and putrefaction was to far advanced, that the bodiea could not be handled. The wounded And dying men bad apparently crawled together in troupe and died. One il the dead loldicrs wai lyinjr on tbe porch floor of an old deserted houae, swollen till bis clotbee were bunted open upon him and tbe wall of the house wan black with dies. Karth waa hauled in :arta and dumped upon these heaps of lesd bodies, which only partiallv covered ihem, and the hogs rooted at will amongnt lh??e ilain. The bones of hornes and utile* were hauled Irom the field and old by the ton for fertilizers. It is not >nly to be iu^posed that many human bonea thui got into the market, but luch teemi actually to have been the cue. I'ho wife of a gentleman who shipped large quantities of them assured uie that ihe and her husband found and knew many of the bones to be those of human beings. Such might be the case without any inch knowledge or design on the part of those who gathered them up, as they were itrewn promiscuously over the fields and through the forests. About half a mile from Manassas is a imall cemeteiy. Orer the gateway is written: "Confederate Dead." There ire bead-boards for abont two hundred and forty grates. These are mostly lying on the ground as though they had been set in the earth and had fallen down. They have not been reset. The word "Unknown" is written upon nearly all of these boards. There are two little marble headstones in this burying place. It u itrangely neglected and desolate. There is auotber one which I did not see. As to the first Bull Run battle, fought by McDowell, an officer who was actively engaged on the Confederate side during tba entire battle, declared it to be his opinion, and also the opinion of the Coiu federate commanders, that Uen.McDow ell'* plan was admirably laid and splendidly executed. The National army moTrd like a rising cloud irrefutably around their left flank, to cut thetn oil from the railroad and get iu their rear. Said he, "They could hare eaten ua up alive." They saw no chance for escape. Beauregard and Johnson a aid they were whipped twice during tbe day, but their men did not know it and kept on fight* ing. In their extremity Stewart daihed up and asked the two commanding Gen* erala what he should do? lie was aniwered, "we don't know." He was told, however, to support the left flank. In reaching a certain point he saw large bodies of infantry, covered and grey with lust, marching in line the wrong way for Confederates. He cried out, "don't retreat, men, we'll help you." Just then lie saw they were marching undor the ecame general, and.the scene of wild flight and wreck and crash which followed ij l>e rood description, and that, too, alter the ilftj had been really won by brave and fair fightir.fr. Prince William county has a population of perhaps 8,000. _ Of this about 1000 are colored. This in a total of about 3,500 lew than it had eighty years ago. F. Ball. I*. U. A Hj. U. IC. Subscription. KJllm InieiniencGr: A "Tax-payer" in your colamns of yesterday opposes the railroad subscription, from a tax-paying standpoint, with some inferences thrown in for make weight, which do not affect the argument. Your remarks on the communication should be fully satisfactory to every unbiased mind, but there aro people who/'will not be convinced against their will," and who think they have as much interest in opposing the completion of the road as others have in advocating it. An additional remark in relerence to the tax-paying question may not bo out of place. It is folly bolieved by thoee who havo examined the question, that tho earnings oi the road will mortgage bond*. If ho, the interest from the railroad trill meet the interest on the county bond*, and there will be no taxes to pay. Again, the completion of the road will make it a tax paying subject, and add to the subjects of taxation, $'.i00,000 or $300,000 and more than that, if the ndditional value of tho lands along the line of the road be taken into consideration, to that extent relieving the general burden. Further, it is expected that before many years, a dividena will be earned on tho common stock of the company; $00,000 of which, will be secured to the county by making this gubicription, which will rcduce tho taxes to that extent. We have referred only to the tax-pay. ing question leaving out of view the great advantage of the road to the city and county in opening up another line ol railway East and West, in affording additional sites for manufactories, an additional supply of coal to the city and the various other advantages of trade and travel which every new line of road brintN to a community. T^liowint. that the probabilities give so strong assurance that making tho subscription will tend to reduce rather than increaso taxation, we believe that no fair minded voter will refuse hi* support, and that the eubscrip. tlon wilfreceive tho votes of a large majority of Tlx Patbbs.
