Seven Hundred Armed Negroes Attack the Town. REPORTS OF THE FIGHTING Alleged Killing of Twenty-five Negroes and Several Whites. ‘VICKSBURG, Miss., Dec, 7, 1874. There has been for some time troubie brewing between the Taxpayers’ Association and eitizens and the county officials. The Sheriff was acting Without a legal bond and the Board of Supervisors refused to order a new one, although the time for paying the taxes had arrived. Two or three-other officials were under indic! nts for forgery and embezzilements, and the citizens, despairing of any relief from the partisan courte, held a meeting last Wednesday, and in a body proceeded to the Court House to demand the resignation of the Sheriff, Chancery Clerk, Treasurer, ud Coroner. All fled except Sheriff Crosby, a negro, and he signed his resignation on Saturday. A card appeared off the streets, signed “Crosby,” calling on all the citizens of Warren county, re- Publicans, white and black, to come to ms aid and support him in his position. Crosby publicly and through the papers denied the authorship of the card, yet this P. M. armed bodies of negroes appeared advancing on the city irom six diferent roads. The alarm was sounded about nine o’clock, and the citizens gath- ered en masse, armed, and immediately advanced to meet the negroes on Baldwin's Ferry road. The Degroes were met just outside the city on Grove street, about 200 strong. The commander ofthe citizens warned the negroes to disperse, but they refused, and immediately firing com- Miencedon both sides. The negroes retreated about a mile and again made a stand in the old breastworks and a house, but were svon routed. The loss in this engagement was one citizen, Oliver Brown, killed, and about twelve or fiiteen Degroes killed, several wounded, and about twenty prisoners. On the Hill’s Ferry road about 250 negroes were Met and routed aftera short engagement, with several killed and wounded, Andrew Owens, the negro who commanded the negroes on the Baldwin’s Ferry road, was cap. tured and committed to jail. In an interview with a HERALD reporter, Owens said he was ordered by Sheviff Crosby to come to the city to-day with allthe armed men he could get together. Alexander Stackhouse, from Newton, one of the captured negroes, says the o der for all the ne- groes to come to Vicksburg this morning was read tn charch on Sunday. Crosby, who 1s under guard at the Court House, denies that he gave sucn orders, it is reported this evening that the negroes are committing depredations in the country. The intense excitement that prevailed this morning has subsided to a great degree, yet many citizens are under arms und all the roads are picketed, Ata public meeting this evening the following was adopted:— Resolved, That while we are fully satisfied that Peter Crosby hag caused armed mentons to march on the city, and shou.d therefore be held mainly revponsible tor ali the blood that has been shed, we recou mend ull good citizens to abstgin trom inflicting any personal violence pike him, and that we use still further efforts him removed from office in some legal manner.

ANOTHER STRIKE. A. M. Fifteen Thousand Pittsburg Pud- | c/iisrisou's bob ane eees 5 dlers Leave Work. The Manufacturers’ Terms Per- emptorily Refused. THE DIFFICULTY EXPLAINED. PirrsBcrg, Dec. 7, 1! One of the most significant industrial strikes ever Known in this country tcok piace here to-day, the strikers betng puddlers of tron ore in the vast fron mills of Pittsburg. At least 15,000 men are out of employment by the strike and 800 puddiing furnaces are standing idle. That the reader may understand the origin and reason of this war be- tween the manufacturers and laborers it Is neces- sary to commence at the beginning. When the reaction arising from the sudden prosperity felt during the war commenced to be felt, an agree- ment was entered into between the manulacturers and puddiers by which tne price to be paid for work should depend upon the card prices of iron, This has been adhered to up to the Present time with but a slight variation, and im consequence of its terms the puddiers were paid $6 per ton on the card rate. Owing to the panic and the great depression that foliowed, the manufacturers say that these figures for pud- dling render it impossible to continue running. Under she sliding scale, the lowest point at which @ reduction of wages follows a reduction of price in fron 1s when the price reaches three cents, At the present time iron can be bought at two and a haif cents, while the price of puddiing still remains at $6. The manufacturers claim, therefore, that the sliding scale 1s unfair, in view of its not reach- ing below three cents; but even did it operate when such low prices are reached, the proportion of deduction tn price tothat of wages is not equal. For under it, with iron at a selling price of $3 per | ton, the price of boiling would atill be $3 10 thereupon. ULTIMATUM OF THE MANUFACTURERS. The manutacturers proposed to. the puddlers days wherein to accept the proposition, and in the event of their failure to do so they were to shat down the mills:;— scale of three to five cents per pound for iron a a of $1 per ton, and to follow the price down to two and a half cents, card rates, at the same rate of re- duction as in the scale. This, at two and a halt cents, would make polling $469 per ion, agreeing that when prices of iron advances to over three cents—say three and three-tenths per pouna for iron—the scaie to be operative and the price of boiling shall be $6 lv per ton. The manuiacturers made no demand that the that it be kept in force until the present strin- gency of the market and times has relaxed, which | would probably be no longer than the 1st of March, after which, i! the price of iron should go above three cents, the old card rates would be re- sumed. MANUFACTURERS AND PUDDLERS IN COUNCIL. On Saturday last, with the hope of avoiding a strike, the following manutacturers met @ delega- tion of puddiers:—F. D. Wood & Co.; Rogers & Burch teld, Graft, Bennett & Uo.; Jones & Laugh- lin, Spang. Chaifant & Co.; Lewis Batley, Dalzell & Co., J. Painter & Son, Philips, Nimick & Co.; Byers, McCullough & Uo.; Lewis, Oliver & Phiiliy Glass, Neely & Co. ; Zug & Co., Reese, Gratf & Woods; Shoenberger & Co.; Carnegie, Kioman & Co; Lindsay & McCutcheon, Everson, Macrum & The Puddilers then and there rejected the manu- jacturers’ proposition and submicted one ot their own, which was to the effect that they were willing to drop fiity cents instead of one dollar This was tobe done by continuing the card on down to twoand a-half cents, The manulacturers reiused, Claiming that it was the understanding when the card was established that, when tron | Went below three cents it (the card) was to be re- adjusted and the same il 1t went above five cen Then it was seen that @ lock-out was tnevitabie. Durtog Sunday on all.the street corners of South Pittsburg could be seen knots of laborers discus- sing the situation. THE LOCK-OUT WORKS CLOSED.

As each iurnace uses on an averaze 1,000 bushels of coal per day the consumption of this article in this mii] alone amounted to 72,000 bushels ys Taking into consideration the iamilies of these men and others depencent upon them, there are more than 1,500 persons without means o! support, ‘The puddiing department of J.

Some aati miners, employed to mine the coal for the mill, will aiso lose employment. The firm nave enough muck iron in stock to ran for some time yet. ‘Twenty-five iurnaces of Reese, Graff & Woods are idle, with over 200 men out of work, and with novhing laid by to nelp them through tne winter. The puddling department of the Cinton and Millvale Malis were closed, and some 350 or 100 men will be discharged in each mul, Botn mils used gome ninety iurnaces, from which the fires were put out, Twenty-three furnaces of Lewis Bailey & Dalzell stopped operations, throwing some ninety-two ‘ men out of employment. This frm refused this morning an Eastern order for 7,000 tons, It could not be Glled, except at @ loss Of $7 @ ton at pres- | ent prices. Byers & McCullongh employ 50 puddiers and 400 other hunds.

The mill owners say it now rests with the puddlers to say Whether the lock-out shall continue or not, They are satisfied that they nave done all that was in their power to avert the lock-out, but they will keep tue turnaces closed till the strikers accept @ reduction. A statoment by a puddier o/ the earnings is that for eleven days work he had pudaled 11 tons llcwt, of tron, for which his 8 receipts were $66 30, Out of this he paid bis helper $2 40 per ton, $26 40, leaving him $39 90 for tne two weeks work.

All hands seem to have profited by the remarkable success of this new and essen’ tally American piece, Mark Twain, the author, places bis profits already among the ten thousands, which may account for the unctiousness of some of his | jater and most profound productions; “Jonnny” Raymond has made more than money, that which cannot be bought at any price, namely, a reputa- tion asa first class comedian, one of the most Promising on the American stage; aud the man. agement has not only deserved but commanded success by the enterprise and sagacity exhibited in bringing out a piece wit so muny pleasurable and loctunate surroundings. Raymond, in his personation of Colouel sellers, has been calied the American Micawber, He is more than that. Whlie | the English Micawber 1s always waiting ior | something to “turn up,” the American dicuwber | grasps the situation at once and gets up a turnip aioner without waiting for anything. And then the inimitable manuer in waich Colonel Sellers | holds un tue gobiet of cold water and cails the at- | tention of bis guest to the sparkling “oead’ there | | ig upon it can oaly be equalied by ihe exclamation ot & gustionome whose lile has becn devoted to paying tribute at the suriue of the rosy god. But the character is a rare one all through, full of orig- dna! jun as mankind 13 of original sia, the latter, in the long run, being likely to pule beiore the highly moral and relizious sentiment— @ sentiment, no doubt, with which the conscientious author was vaccinated aur- ing bis historical explorations in Palestine— tat pervades every lime of the “Gligea Age.” Great pre; arations ure being made to make the one hundredth representation of the piece, near at hand, @ grand uftatr. 1 The manager of the Park Theatre has com-- | meneed @ series of dally matinées, commencing | | gt toree u’clock every afternvon, except Satur- | ; day, when Colonel Sellers gives a matinée, | Great thaumaturgist, Proiessor ‘Vo- bin, of the Koyal J o1ytechnic, London, and the | Colosseam, in thus city, mn his celebrated jectorium entertainment.

Mr. Dominick Murray appeared last evening at thia establishment in a new local drama in four acts, written by himsel{, and entitled “The Organ | Man; or, The Fool of Love.” It is a story of every- | Gay life, with several exciting situations well | brought out and calculated to win the attention | of am audience, In the ieading rdle of Leonard Ashton, poet and musician, wno believes Limself tobe the dupe of his ladylove, but who finally wins her hand, Mr. Murray displayed considera- ble ability, aod in Gepicting the various passions | god emotions which the part calls tor he proved himself an actor of merit. He was well supported i oy Miss Sophie miles as Grace Ashton by Miss Florence Stratton as Clara Leonard, and Messrs, A. H. Sheldon and T. L.

The audience received the piece favorabiy, | and Mr. Murray, during the course of its produc- (ion, Was trequentiy applauded, Mrs. Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre. story, ‘Jane Eyre,” was produced laat night at this theatre with a completeness of appaintment not unworthy of the best efforts of the metropoli- tan stage. Miss Charlotte Thompson’s perform- ance In the character of Jane Eyre 18 one of the | most symmetrical efforts at tndividualization, the | Ameri¢an stage has witnessed. It 1s art- Mngly realistic in its quiet power and | intensity. Staginess there is none, and | Misa Thompson speaks her lines and 1s moved. by them with such spontaneity that we forget she | 18 on the stage, and sue herself seems to sorget it. | She is ever womanly, even when displaying the dogged seil-wiil which is the masculine ingredient oi the character; but the way in which these un- womanty traits are soitened by time and the hap- Ner course of events is admirably portrayed. ‘rom Mr. Kennedy as Lord Rochester and Mrs. Post as Mrs. Fairiax she received efficient support. Miss Lian Conway, Lady Ingram looked, in tbe sweetest of pink dresses, @ very dangerous rival for | the r orphan girl. The recognition accorded | to Miss Thompson by the audience was of the most cordial Kind. Alter every act she was called be- fore the curtain, an bonor she richly merited. Mrs. Farren and little Mabel Leunary, one of those | Mlaat prodigies woich abound just now, deserve | | Mention for the efficient way they filed their | parts, ‘This play will be kept on the doards during | the week.

A noticeabie feature in the per- Jorniance was the promptness and neatness with which each feature on the bill was given and the absence of anything savoring oi vulgarity..

That Mr. Mac- cape deservedly won prompt and sub. stantial recogniiion of his varied talents during his late successful season of fitty nights at Steiuway Hall was pretty well at- tested by the rush last evening to witness his won- derfui and inimitable performance.

The artists who took part in it were Mrs. ‘Butman, soprano; Mrs. Davidson, contralto; Mr, Simpson, tenory Mr. Pattison, pianist, and Mr. Bristow, conductor. A small but admirably selected orclestra from the Pbilharmonic Society played some choice works, much of the success of which was due to the e¢x< Perienced baton of Mr. Bristow. Mra.

Mr, Simpsom Sang the iirst tenor aria from “Rigoletto” and Biumenthal’s ‘nessage Song.” A great deal of money, we understand, was realized for the worthy charity for which the concert was given.
