The latter, it seems, started a grocery store next to her house, and during her husband's absence in the mines she spent most of her time in Brown’s store.

Ixptan CIvILizavioN.—The condition of the Cherokee Indians, according to @ writer in the Chetopa Advance of the 29th ult., is not very en- couraging. The Cherokees are the only Indians that have, as @ tribe, adopted white civilization, and for ‘a time it seemed as if they pocseasedkthe elements of permanent improvement, At one time they had common and high schools and many competent teachers. Now the schools have suspended, and the young men are lounging about in idleness, so that ‘there are not hall a dozen competent teachers in the wibe. Their legislation is @ “dignified farce.” The work which could be done in three days, atan expense of $2,000, consumes six weeks, as an expense of $25,000. This, however, would indicate & closer imitation of white legisiation than haa generally been accredited to them. In the list of prominent men among them there are a few reai In- dian names. Rattling Guard sits as District Judge, amd Stand Whirlwind is Speaker of the House, while Frog Sia-Killer sliines m the Senate. The most of them, however, bear the uneuphonions names common among white folks. Tney imbibe freely of the ‘fire water,” and coy most of the ‘vices of those who are attempting to improve their condition, while the virtues are for ornament rather than use, The civilization of the indians is at best unsatisfactory, but it isa great improvement upon & savage life, and should be persistently carried among the other tribes.

But the Greenwich female commander of her squad seemed to understand what was meant, and making a quick “wheel” to the right and then @ “forward march,” was soon out of sight. Quite a joke was perpetrated by Mr. Finlay in the after- noon, at the meeting of the strikers at Washington Hal. He referred to this incident of the morning, and said that thia ‘feminine argument” should not deter the men from standing by thelr rights; that although this woman came from the lowest slums of New York to see Gonld, she couldn’t see gold, for Erte now rests its back on greens, coal and rags, THE SHOP3 were deserted yesterday, a8 they were on Saturday last. The 250 men, whom the oMcers of the Erie Company were sure on last Saturday to have at work on Monday, were all found to be like Felstaf’s men in buckram, or as the constavle in Alabama once said in the return of @ warrant of arrest, “On stampious, in swampum, hon est inventivus;” or as the Irishman’s celebrated flea, “When you put. your finger on bim he is not there.” Those that were at work on Saturday, only one or two, had left again.

They had ei a work, they were irightened off by the threats of violence made by the committee of the striker. In roef of this he showed two letters—one from New ork, Gated January 15, 1870, in which the writer states that the boys warned and threatened him of; the sober ones he coud talk some reason into, but those exasperated by iiquor threatened him to such an extent that ho was glad to get away without getuag hurt, Another man, writing from Piermont on January 17, says that he was threateucd with violence on Saturday evening, and teared bodily mjury if he were to go to work on Monday geeeesan) moron hence he did not do it, Mr. Town states that Ifo has received numerous lette ra to the same purport, which he believes to be sufil- cient evidence of the fact that threats of violence are used to deter new empioyés from Solng to, work. In contradiction to this, the principal ers of the strikers, Mr. Finlay among oters, say tiat they have given ‘positive instraction to the commitices that no violence nor threats of violence shali be Used by any one, and that the first one who is guilty of any such breacn of the law 8! be at once, and in the intérest of the strikers and by their com- plaint, handed over to the police to be dealt with according to law. HOW IN THE west? No reliable reports couid be gos last evening up to ten o’vloek as to the position Ube Inachinists and otner similar employes of the company assumed yes- terday in regard to the strike of the men at Jer ity, Atone time in the forenoon it was rumored around the oifices-of the company near the Pavou1a ferry, that ali had leit work. Again & was said, an hour or two later, that everything was quiet on the line and that nothing would Dappen. A special despatch at about six o’clock in the evening, in answer to an inquiry caused by the HERALD representative, guve bim the motives of the meu at Port Jervis in about these words:—“‘All quiet, Port Jervis men think that the Jersey City men were too rash in not discounting an hour.” Later in the evening @ report was hoard that a deie- ate bad arrived from Susquehanna, bringing the welligence that all the men in similar employ on that division bad struck in ald of their fellow cratts- men in Jersey City. It appears that the men now on strike across the river are.especially afraid of the tactic3 which the ruling mings of the company are said to bring to bear upon the minds of the Port Jervis workmen. ‘The latter have again been allowed full time per day and full pay as an inducement, so the Jersey Ciy people say, not to jom their brethren further east. it is algo said that the argument is used that during the last strike of the Port Jer- vie men the employés in Jersey City similarly situated, did not Deartlly endorse and sustain tuen and hence, now, the Port Jervis’ people were to ieel under no obligation to take upihe causeof taeir co-operatives at this end of the line. It was said that these practices and arguments were in 80 far successful as to Keep fully one-nalf of the employ¢a of the company at Port Jervis faithful, while the other half wishes to take the side of the strikers at Jersey City, These are rumors, however, oniy, and what there may be in them time aioue can develop. THE MRETINGS YESTERDAY. ‘The strikers heid two mectings yesterday, one in the forenoon and again tn the afternoon, at Washing- ton Hail, Jersey Oity. Nothing of any public import- ance transpired at either of these meetings, except the sending of a delegate to Port Jervis and another Jo Susquehanna to straighten up mat and ihfluence all the men «ere to unite in ike, A by Mr. Finlay, the vice president of the central organization, was weil received. encouraging the men to stand by each other and then they will succeed. When, in the in the course of his speech, be put the question, “Does any one doubt our success? then let him stand up and say o,” no orfe inthe hall, some 200 in number—bdeing nearly ail of the strikers—an- swered nay, but all of thom, to & man, shouted a tremendous “No.” INCIDENTS. It will be recollected from previous reports In the HERALD that the strikers appointed a tnance com- mnitiee With power to reileve all wio came to Jersey City in search of work atthe Erie shops and who, desiring ~ to return Home, had not the means to do so, It happened yesterday morning that two tatiors from New York, taking advantage of this statement in the HERALD, claimed to be machinista and wanted relief from the committee. A little examination disclosed their faise pretensions, and they were uncere! jously hustied out of the room. In the course of the after- noon @ carriage painter from Baltimore claimed similar privileges, and all he wanted was money enough to get back to Baltimore. But the committee “didu’t see it in that light.’ THE NEW YORK WORKINGMEN, In the evening @ committee appointed by the atrikers visited New York cliy and attended several wWorkingmen’s socteties, where they stated their case. They were everywhere received with great t good will, the sympathy of the workingmen of jew York was assured them and in case of need, material aid promised. ‘‘We camo not to beg,” sald Mr, Finlay, chairman of the com- “Tor if @ body of 300 men cannot help then- selves, they do not deserve to be helped. worse should come to -worse, then only shall we ‘accept aid from wherever it may come.” AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. The following is au appeal issued by the Jersey Olty strikers:. For some considerable time past ft has been evident to the workmen along the line of the Erie Railway that they must take some united action to provect themseives from th wrongs and tyranny that the authorities of the company havo oon exercising in opposition to thelr righta aa ressonabie men and American citizens, “Accordingly in July Laat there was an effort made among the men to form such an organization Shat would not only provect tuemselves against, apy unjust: ness on the part of the company, but also protect the compa- ny from any unjustness o the part of the men; thusit was tended to make w reciprocal return of integriiy and falth- ‘ulness for the rights we expected to receive from them; but unfortunately for us, before we got thoroughly orguniz or the body of the workingmen could become ac qualnted with the true and equitable intentions of the organt- taslou—therefore, before st had any controlling influence over them—as if by design, in October, about three months from the date of our organization, the oflicers of tho road, by not paying the men according to their stipulated pi Forced theta into a atrike to obtain their acknowledged rights: ‘The design was then frustrated, as men came out Yistorlows and although the eompany aultered great lose then they provokingly neglected to pay their men tn the long dock ahops for the month of November until after the stipu- lated time.

G. L. SHEARKR, One of the delegation, after alluding briemy to the general work of the society in Spain, Mexico and South America, and among the freedmen of the South, gave a concise account of hia trip of 12,000 miles, visiting the principal cities and many of the rural and mining districts in the States and Territories west of the Rocky Mountaing. He said the mineral, agricultural and manufac- turing resources of, that slope are immense, ‘but the moral and religious influence is small, The wealth of the country is not sanciifled. The church membership is hardly one-sixth of its average in the ‘whole United States. In one State of 50,000 inhabitants there is neither & Congregational nor a Baptist onurch, aud the mem- and Presbyterian churches does not exceed 500.

Tne object of the a tion Was to explore the country, learn its wants | and adopt the most efficient means for sup- plymng them. After extensive tours 10 tho States they met several large ecclesiastical bodies, which, atter hearing a futl explanation of the plans oi the society, gave them their most hearty endorsement and pledged their cordial support. An agency has been established in San Fraucisco. A depositol has been opened there for the sale of the society’s books, tracts and pertodicals, and sx colporteurs bave been commissioned, two of them ih Oregon, one in Washington Territory and three in California, one of whom is @ Chmaman. Large meetings were held in Sacramento and San Francisco before the delegation left, and liberal con- tributions were made in aid of the work. Mr. JouN E. VoasoR, also of the delegation, gave a touching Fans gree of his visits and personal labors along the line of the Pacific Railroad in Colorado, Virginia O.ty, Nevada, at Sacramento and in San Francisco, Rev. Dr. BODINGTON, of Brooklyn, said the enters of the society was at the earliest period to circalate ius valuable Christiaa literature by umn mtasionary colportage, as far as le, to the entire popuia- ton of the coast. He spoke of the rapid growth of the Unfted States, and of the vast importance of im- proving every agency for its complete evangeliza- ton, After @ liberal collection the congregation were dismissed witn the benediction. THE SOUTHERN EMIGRATION i Emcastion fo TEXAS. YOR (From the Memphis Avalanche.) ‘The tide of emigration from Ge East Tennea- ‘see, Virginia aud North Carolina to Texas, ni 1m our columns recently, continues on as large a scale a8 ever and promises to swell considerably between now and the opening of the next planwng Season. Long trains of emigrant wagons file through the city duily aud arrivals by the Memphis and Charieston Kailroad are also numerous. The apri- vals by this tooroughfare from November 7 to 410 were des- ‘The great buik Alver country ana Arkansas, They dre mostly of the poorer class of farming peopie, but ail are in comiortable circumstances at least, and many are educated, intelligent, and possessed of suine littie means, which they design investing in the cheap and highly productive lands of ths Soutuwest. Emi- gration of this class 16 larger this season than ever before, and has veen stimulated, no doubt, by the general failure of ine crops from drouth and other causes, a8 well as by the inferior quality of the lands, in the several sections of the counury from whicit they hail. They have good svock, utensiis, &c., and are comiortably though plainly clad, as well as healthy and vigorous in appearance. ‘hey teil of thousands wore in their wake, and are hopeful of good health and fortuce in that great aud terule ter- Titory west of the Mississippi. On srriving here they are taken in charge by Sam Shock, agent of the Mempnis and Charieston Railroad, by whom they are provided with vemporary quarters in the Bradiey biock, on Promenade street, where they remain until they cai be farnished with transportauon on their way to the pronused land, which, of course, is by steamer. “Castle Garden,’ as these quarters are called, bears no resembiance to the immigrant rendezvous bear- dug that name in New York, in size or appearance, but iuliy answers all requiremenis as @ temporary abiding place for people inured to .ardehip and voil as these have been, Men, women and children there are, of ail ages, from the puny mfantin its mother’s arms to the white-haired and decrepid patriarch of three or four score years, A short distance north of Bradley block, fronting the river, are other quarters, provided for the ac- commodation of colored emigrants, Who are as nu- merous as the whites, and are not included ia the above figures. These people, as a class, have up to tas time preferred to look out for themselves. ‘ihey arechiefly from Virginia and North Carolina, and ‘are bound for the cotion iands of Louisiana, Missia- sppl, ‘Texas and Arkansas, to engage in plantation Ir, Mr. Shock Is now making arrangements looking to the bringing to this point of from 7,000 to 10,000 colored peopie, and will leave for Virginia in a iew days to set the ball in motion. The movement of whe African element in the direction we have indi- cated is exciting gencral attention and remark. Several influences are at work, of which the princi- alone ls the prospect of higher wages and eventu- ally purchasing small farms tn the “iand of the set- ting sun.’’ Another important influence, as our re- porter gleaned from @ brief conversation with these ebony emigrants, is an idea that the children of Ham are tending to settlements by themselves im aland of milk and honey, of which they seem to fave but & very crude concepuon, as regards its locality and general advantages. Like the white emigrunis, they are Tull of hope in & proses and happy future. Virginia papers contain daily reports of tne heavy emigration of the colored people, and are of the opinion that the result will pe a raptd and great development of the Guif and cotton States. It 18 plaip that there will be no lack of labor for our cotton plantations the coming season. There will pe 3 heavy increase in cotton production, It ts safe to estimate that in leas than ten years the cotton crop of the Southern Siates will be restored to its ante- war maximum of 5,000,000 bales, and any one who studies the signs of the times and looks beyond the period indicated can see @ prospect of ao aunual production of 10,000,000 bales. Not alone is Virginra contributing to tnis movement of the colored peo- le, ‘There ig an exodus of this element from North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessce aud Kentucky. It has bead during the last twelve or eighteen months that this migration of colored laborers Las been in notice- able progress. SILK MANUFACTURE IN CALIFORNIA, {From the San Francisco Alta.) There is probaoly no greater curiosity in the way Of manufactures to be seen in the city than that of the manafactare of sik, as carried on py Messrs. Neumann, at their factory on the corner of Sansome and Commercial streets. These gentlemen, after struggiing for four years to introduce the manufac- tare of ailk into Caifornia, having meanwhile passed through many reverses, have at last su ceeded in erecting the necessary machinery and fairly entering upon the work. Their establisn- Ment now includes everything necessary for the production of a quality of ‘sik which they claim to be equal to avy mauufactared in Lyons or eise- where in Europe. Here the visitor can witness the entire process, from tue time the cocoons are re- ceived until the silk is woven into a perfect piece. One can hardly realize, when looking at the pile of cocoons, that trom such material couid be produced the beautiful and brilliant colored silks which he sees upon the looms. The cocoons, when required tor use, are given into the charge of young giris, who, deftly manipulating them, manage to find the ends and assist in the reeling process, where the Gbres assume the form of threads, which are arranged in skeins, In a single thread of fine sulk there are often no less than torty fibres from the cocoons. The cocoons having been unwound toe skeins are taken to another departinent, in which, by, the aid of the most delicate macntnery, the thread 1s twisted, cleaned, doubled, wound upon spools and afterwards reeled off into skelns, when 16 passes through the dyeing process, Itis again rewound upon spoo.3 and prepared for the looms. It 1a extremely dimticuit to give a minute description of eitaer the machinery employed or the diferent processes through which the silk passes. At present the Messra, Neumann are engaged in weaving and preparing the silk for two elegant flags, each thirty-six. en fly and twen- ty-one ieet hoist, one of which 18 intended for the ational Capito! aud the other for the State Capitol. ‘These, whicn are pemg gotten up in the, best style, will be worthy of note as beiny the first’ specimens ik manufacture im the Uniic) States made from cocoons raised here and carried through all the pro- cesses, from the feeding of the worm to the produc- tion of the completely Hnised silk. | Cailfornia may justly take pride in this effort of the Mossrs.

She was found dead in bet the following morning. He was arrested, indicted, tried and convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to the State Prison for a term of two years. Mitils claimed upon that trial that his wife, who was under the influence of Liquor on the evening of the alleged homicide, fell and thereby sustained the injuries which led to her death.
