They say hun'.reds of c hired people were taken into the hou ;« . of leading white citizens and protected from dan¬ ger, remaining all night. A Jessup dispatch to The Morning News says Mayor Hobb, has called a public meeting to take steps to defend the town. It is believed that tie; negro desperado Brewer and a large force of negro- s are near tile town ready for a night at'a k Citiz-n, are arming to ail th-- i'/un wick Rides if necessary.

There is still great excitement in the conntry around Jessup, but affairs will probably quiet down soon.

A dispatch says that the Pennsylvania Coal company lias shut down its mines at Dunmon-, Pleasant Valley and about Pittstou, with the exception of one colliery at each place, which is kept running to supply local demand. The number of mines shut down is fourteen and 4,000 employes are thrown out of work, us.inns: <. ir - i- l Kcruuton.

The collieries affected, the Brisbin, Sloan, Dodge, Manville, Atclibald aud Hall- stead. employ over 2,000 miners and lalxirers. It is stated that the suspen¬ sion will soon become general through- out the Wy.-ming and Lackawanna val¬ leys unless tl;- r - is <s an ai increased demand for coal.

As long as we continue to have mild spring weather in midwinter tin* coal men will continue to complain or starve, or will go into sonic other business. Miles of cars loaded with coal are said to block up the side tracks and fill the storage yards of all the principal mining com¬ panies. There is no place to put the coal when it is mined.

Up to the end of the second week of the present month the output (o date for this year was 34,016,825 tons as against 81.991.474 tons during the same ca-rio.l of 1848 .
