Reports from Corea=The Crew of the Gen- eral Sherman Said to Have Been Be- headed—Captain Febiger’s Mission. SHANGHAE, June 6 via Lonpon, July 23, 1868. It is reported in this city to-day that Captain Febiger, of the United States navy, ascertained during his recent cruige in the Shenandoah on the Coast of Corea that the crew of the American bark General Sherman had been beheaded by the natives at the place where they landed. Americans express the opinion that Captain Febiger discharged his duty with zealons care, but that his search was not so efficient as it might have been on account of the draught of water of the Shenandoah being much too great to permit him to explore the Corean coast and rivers, the best existent charts of which are almost useless for pre- sent purposes.

The United States Tariff on French Goods— Retaliation Disavowed. Panis, July 23, 1868, In the Corps Législatif yesterday, while a revenne with | pill was undér consideration, @ proposition was made, by way of amendment to the bill, to restore the duties Which were formerly imposed on all American rosinous products imported into France. The proposition gave rise to a lively debate. It trips between here and Aca- | was supported on the ground that the restoration of the duties on imports from America was justified by the excessively nigh tariff now imposed by the United irs. | States on articles of French production. The measure, however, was strongly opposed. by the free trade members of the Chamber, M. Ozenne, member of the Council of State and Director of Foreign Commerce, explained the views of the government. He said they had closely watched the changes which had been mad is morning from La Par and departed | in the tariff laws of the United states, and they greatly lamented that such heavy burdens had been imposed upon French productions; but they were cido Vega having | not disposed to adopt @ system of retaliation, which by the last steamer via Cape | oou4 only resait im injury to the commercial in- terests of both countries. ‘ ‘rom time to time After further debate the amendment was rejected, — A Press Law Sentence.

People look on wonderingly, but powerless to stay the progress of the spreading con- flagration. The strike began yesterday. The operatives at the Empire colliery, on the border of the town, opened the ball. Just before noon they laid down their picks and shovels, announced that they would work nO more except under the Bight Hour law, formed themselves in @ double line outside the mine and marched for the Eranklin mines. The miners here speedily joined them, and in the course of the afternoon some half dozen others of the smaller collieries in the neighborhood were closed. There was no opposition. Uninterrupted victories followed their line of March, It was considered a good afternoon's work, and the strikers rested from their labors. This morn- ing the line of march was resumed. They now come out in large force—some two hundred altogether— and under more perfect organization. The battle had only begun; it had been all on one side; there might be opposition. They had prepared themselves abundanily for this possible emergency—had equip- themselves with biudgeons and pistols, It in- used some military enthusiasm into the expedition. They copied the example of the strikers elsewhere and marched forth to the muste of fife and dram and with an American banner proudly flying to the breeze. The workmen at the Wilkesbarre coal and iron works, where more than two thousand tons of coal are shipped in a day, were soon added to their ranks, as also the jaborers at the old Baltimore works, now worked by the Delaware and Hudson Com- ae They marched to the Lehigh and Susquehanna road shop and Stopped work there, but not with- out some opposition, which they very soon and effectu- ally terminated. One locomotive engine, which was elevated on some jack planes, the workmen requested time to finish. “No humbug fooling with us,” said the leader. “Down with it, men!’ To command was but to obey. Quicker than I can write it the workmen jumped from the engine, the strikers removed the jack screws and let the locomo- tive down on the track. This accomplished and tak- ing the machinists along with them the party made their way to the colliery of Messrs. Parish & Thomas, at Sugar Patch, closed this and as soon as the route of march could be made accomplished the same re- sult at the colliery of J. H. Swogin and that of the Wyoming Transportation Company. ‘This was not satisfactory. They stopped some men working on the gat and then marched to the Gas Company’s works. “Your men have got to stop work or else receive full wages for eight hours,” announced the spokes- man of the strikers to the superintendent, “Can't think of having them stop,” answered the superintendent, “It won't do for the city to be with- out gas. Further, the men nave made oo complaint about wages; and still further, I don’t see this ts any business of anybody but my men, and they are old enongh and know enough to speak for them- selves."” “We'll let you know it is our business,” retorted the spokesman. “The thing must he decided here and Row. You must agree to pay your men their bas wages for eight hours’ work, or we'll stop em.” “T accede to your demand,” sald the superin- tendent, “for the present, at least.’* “Mind, you can’t fool us; we shall watch you and Know whether you keep your promises, A second visit here won't be pleasant to you,” said the spokes- man, as @ parting salutation, and away the party went, heading for Dixon's Manufacturing Company Works. The cowardice of the strilk and how little poattive and well supported opposition is needed to put them down was here most strikingly illustrated, “Working on the ten hours’ system here?’ in- quired the same aforesaid spokesmen of the super- ingendent, ° Yes, sir,” he laconically answered, “It's got to be Stopped." topped! Why ?? “You must employ your men under the eight hour lay “Who says that ?"? “We do.” “You'll have @ good time doing it,” spoke up the superintendent; “my men are armed and there'll be blood spilt if any one of you raises his hand to inter- fere here,” ‘The spokesman auieted down; his followers sub- sided into the peaceful quietude of doves. Those few words, “my men are armed,” had a wonderfully subduing effect. They had seen enough of the Dixon Manufacturing Company hands; they left for the peaceful plains of Pittston, nine miles down he = valley. Many victories were achieved here in the course of the afternoon. They shut up all the collieries and at night retarned to town. ‘The understanding now is that to-morrow they will make a demonstration on the collieries and workstiops in and about Scranton, and thus kee, up till they have made a clean sweep of this whole on. ’ Thus stands the battle as I have described it, though a very one sided battle tt is as | write my letter to-night. As is well known, from the very commencement of the strike in the other coal regions there have been loud and persistent prophecies that this region would not strike. The fact that dur- ing the strike here two years ago the miners in the other sections would not join in it was considered a suficient basis for these prophetic declarations. Such was the reasoning of the coal operators; such was the flattering unction they took to the! ouls; such was the delusive phantom of ey hugged with unyielding pertinacity. As fi of the strike elaewhere they all looked for a monopoly of the coal trade. Yesterday and to- day's operations have dispelled these dreams of proiit, and instead of the quiet complacency that own for some time they are now with displeasure and disgust. As ng to the terms of the strikers they will not do it, at least until advanced rices im coal warrant such steps. Again strike here has put @ new complexion on the matier, From the st becoming universal, as it now promises to become, there is every likelihood of the miners now stubborniy holding out, which they certainly would not have done much longer in the other regions with the collertes bere continuing in full operation. ove’ to their yiel A Halt and Preparations by the Strikers for Further Advance.

Fither overcome with the extraordinary efforts of the past two days, the long marching in the midsum- mer heat and skilful strategic movements to prevent these marches culmipating in “funeral marches to the grave,” or else viewed from a military stand- point, and deeming It politic to send out trusty scouts and ascertain the condition of affairs on their front before pushing their advance further, the strikers, contrary to the general expectation, have made no overt demonstration to-¢ay.

Dashing into aa entry way on Thirty-sec- ond street he passed througit to pnetytaira street, thence up Second avenue to Tirtyfourth street, where he was overtaken he officer, at whom he again fired, but, being no a this'time exceed- ingly nervous, without eifect, Mee then grappled with him, knocked him down an afterwards conveyed him to the sta- tion house. In the meantime the body of the murdered man had been brought in, life bein; entirely extinct before even the body was removed. * All the indications are that Real lay in walt for his victim and shot him with preconceived, deliberate intent. He had on two previous occasions shot at Smedick, the last one belng July 1, when he fired at him three times. The cause assigned for this is revenge upon the officer for having arrested him two or three times on a charge of intoxication. He does not deny the present shooting and gives as his rea- son for 8o acting that upon the last occasion when Smedick had him to court he shoved htm after he took him down stairs, Deceased was about thirty-five years of age, was born in Ireland and joined the police force Au 12, 1857. He has been attached to the Twenty-first precinct about three years, and bore the character of an ef®cient and @xemplary officer, Feapected alike by his comrades and superiers. His death ta ony re- gretted by both and by a large circle of friends in the precinct, who visited the station house in crowds last night to view the body. He leaves a wile children. Real is a low sized man, of dark complexion, with dark hair, about five feet seven inches in height. His present occupation is that of a boatman, but he was formerly a conductor on the avenue B city railroad cars. His reputation with the police was bad. His residence ts 565 Firat avenue. The weapon used by the assassin is a large six chamber revolver about the size of Colts navy istol. It is now at the station house, having been in Real’s possession when he was arrested, EUROPEAN MARKETS. LONDON MONRY MARKET.—LoNpoN, July 23—5 P.
