At the present writing, 3 o'clock, armed bodies of men are patrolling the streets, and citizens are becoming more assured " lie organizations for defense are being per- lectes Between 0 and 10 o'clock this morning Mayor McCarthy received a telefram from Burgess Weddell, of Elizabeth, that 630 armed miners bad left that place at 9 o'clock for this city. ‘They were on their way down on the steamer Elizabeth, and the inference waa at once drawn that thelr purpose was ta jolg the mob and as- slat in pillaglug the city. ‘THM GREATEST BXCITRMERT PREVAILED, people flocking to the Mayor's offico to tender thelr services, and in a short tlme tho Mayor had at bis control a good body of armed yol- untcers and adctachment of the Washiogton infantry ready to meet the mon as they arrived. They repaired to the Second Avenue Park, headed by the Mayor, Gen. Negley, and Mr. William Vorter. They met there the miners, aud found that they were not armod, Mr, Samuel Kearnoy,thoir lead~ er, said that they bad read of the reported in- Mssiminate shooting down of private citizens, and had come here to protect them against the mob. Brief speechos were then made by the Muyor, Gen, Negley, aud Mr. Porter, counse}- fag them to return to thelr homes, and tn the friendliest way tho men promised to go back. At@ o'clock this afternoon Mr. Kearncy, the leader, tonderod the assistance of these men whenever needed. They were nearly all of them olé soldicrs, and some of then: members of the OLD PENNSILVANIA RESEEVES. Bhortly alter 1 o'clock this aftercoon Maj. t a s Morton visited the atrikera who beld the guns captured from Hutchinsun's Battery at Twenty- elgiith atrect. He made a speech to the strikers which was eo pacificatory In Sts tone that the men resolved to yield at once, and the guos were turned over to Maj. Morton. The strikers themactves assisted in hauling guns to the old City-Hail, nnd as they passed through the streets they were greeted with cheers. The guns were subsequentiy spiked at Market street, and Theodore Diamond, the per- son who did it, escaped In. the confusion which ensued, ‘ PROCLAMATION, ‘ ‘The Mayor has issucd the following proclama- jon: To the Citizens of Pttsbura: The lawleenneas and violence which bare boldly defed all anthority and all restraint ehow that they can only be nuo- pressed through the prompt execution of tie stern- cat measures, I bave determined that peace, or- der, and quiet shail be restored to the commanity, and to this end now call apon all good citizens to come forward at once ta tha new City Hall and unite with the police and military pow organize.

G, McCants, Mayor, PLEA YOR THE NUAL STHIRERS, To the Western Avactated Press, Pirrsnuna, July 23.—The real strikers, by thelr attitude to-day, show they have no affilia- tion with the lawless mob reported to be the action of Fort Wayne passenger encincers and firemen. ‘A Ine should be drawn between the atrike proper and its terrible consequences, evineed by the burning and pillaging. To-lay the strikers scemt uufversally disposed to aralat law-abiding citfzens in saving property from thieves and flames. Their better nature shows iteel€ on all hands, but the terrible scenes that have been enacted are traceable to a much lower grade of men than those who fnaugurated the real strike. They are those who have nelther character nor position to lose by their actlon, andscem to hold themselves amenable tu no law whatever. This is the class whose acts are bringing disgracc to Pittsburc. NO COMIROMISE. As to any plan looking to any compromise between the ¥ort Wayne men snd their em: Pllores. it in stated that all hopes in that direc- fon are ended. We learn that the railroad authoritles linve distinctly informed the strikers that there will be uo cotnpromise whatever. It fs also atated that when this became knowngall the passenger engineers and firemen quit thelr engines. Asaresult, ‘NO TRAINS OF ANY RIND Wil go out this evening on the Peunsylvania Railroad.

About 10 o'clock {ts numbers reached five or six hundred. This Ied to the resumption of precautionary measures, which had been partly abanduncd. Gen. Han- cock had not set arrived with his regular trosps, and it soon became evident that the mob were under the impression that the falture of the soldiera arriving was owing to the opposition of strikers onthe Phitadclphia, Wil- mington & Baltimore Railroad.
