A remarkable correspond cnee between Jay Ilould and I'oirderly is printed. A congressional committee is YSStlgatlng the strikes, and will make a report. Thera ere strikes and boycotts reported on all sides, but labor appears to be rapidly losing the sympathy it bad at first. St. Louis, April U.—Tho whole force of strikers of the St. Louis transfer company, ' gfldcnt of protection by the militia from istlon, bare returned to their old place, ores of transfer wagons, together with (to tracks and other vehicles, are busy (morning hauling freight to the various t of the railroads cantering in Km St ■L’loub. The force of switch and yardmen who "wturned to work yesterday was Increased this morning by many more of these who availed themselves of military protection to secure employment. Moat of tho roada now bare foil crews of switchmen end yardmen, and It is espertrd that in s few days the resumption of operations by s largo majority of roads will be complete. Shortly before midnight list night Uses Jones, otio of the men who was shot In last JSildoy’s shooting, died from tho effects of his wounds. Jones was a middle sgod, unmarried man. This makes ulna deaths, with another victim not expected to live. J. tv. Walters, of company F, F.lghth regi ment I. N. while patrolling the Vaudulla yaids in Fast St Louis this morning, was fired upon by an unknown nun, who tonne* ■llatciy afterwards started for Main street on a run. Walters fired after blnr, hot he escaped without injury. Fearing an ambush, the sentinel fired a second shat la thedlreetlon from which ho was fired upon, and raised saolber nun who also- eaoapad. Orders were immediately Issued to patrol all the yards in Iho hepo of capturing tho miscreants, hut tbs search proved rruitlees. Two rails were removed last night from the track n' the Cairo Short Line railroad, noar Jlcllcvillr, by some one, as yet unknown. The soar! uniter, while on a tour of inspection early lIlls morning, discovered the fact, sod the rails ware replaced before the passenger train, dun at that place at 0:90, a. ra., bad arrival, snd s serious accident averted. Un u'Aukke, WK, April Hi.—Tho largest strike erer known in Uliwankoe ha* been in* augurated by the shop tailor’s union. It ta asseitul that over four thoumnd operatives are affected, although a large majority of thour have no lutenot In the strike, and are, in fact, appeal d to it. They have all quit work, however, from fear of violence on tho port of tho striker!. There seem*, so for so van he learned by Interviews with wholesale dealers, uo likelihood of any compromise, and after tire usual eahllaratiun and excitement at the Inception of the strike, Irotii aides will kettle down to the stubborn test of which Is tire strongest. Information Ik received hero Ibis morning from tlrdnlla to the effect that the strike Is dying out. Now men are going to work dully, generally of tho class most needed, ntacbln- Isls, and many of tire eld men are leaving for other plsrea in search of work, not lining able to remain any longer. hovers! men will go to California.

"We actually have ail we can do to fill onion,'^mid he,"And if the boycott continues I think we shall have to nut mere commodious qnartera.” New Yobk, April 17.—Strikes and boycotts have come to a curious pass. Big, hrewuyuen are trying to crush quiet, gentle-faced, but determined Mn. Gray, who keeps a bakery In Uudson street, because she refuses to employ union men, although she pays anion wages: and Charles Crocker, the millionaire, and others from Fifth avenue, send her cheeks and encourage her to maintain the fight. She has the sympathy of tho public. The Knighta of Labor, as a body, aiming to aoeure Jostle# for labor, are unquestionably entitled to aym. pathy, hut a few more boycotts ilka this might do much to bring tho organization into re proach. Mere straws sometimes effect won ders. In New York city at least, Mrs. Urey may he the innocent Delilah toaheer the locks ofSsmion. ______ A Rlreqpcer Strike In New York.

Nxw Yiibk, April M.—Tho rarrospautlonco which lies pnssed between Mr. I’awJerly and Jay Mould waa given to tlio public tonight} Mr. Vowdorlj'a letter is dated Scranton, 1 Yon sylvan is, April H, and ia uddrcaaod to Jay Ilould, president of tho Missouri Pacific rail* road. It aaya: The events of the past forty-eight hour* mint have demountrated to you the absolute necessity or bringing this terrible strugglo in tho southwest to a speedy termination. Yon Imre power, author* lly and mean* to bring tho utriko to an end. I havo dono ovary thing in my power to end the strife. Tho gentlemen aa-ocllUd withmn on the general executive board of Uie Knights of ' h I»or have done tbo aame. Eva rything confutent .. IHi honor nnd manhood has been done In the In tend of peace. No fotro notions of pride or dig- utty have swayed us tu our dsallugs with you or the gentlemen am minted with you. Powderly then describes tho conferonco in New York immediately preceding hia order to stop tho strike, and aaya although a specific method of arbitration waa not stated at that lime, it waa the clear understanding of himself and hia associates that Mr. Gould had agreed to tho method proposed by the Knighta of Labor, aud ho denounced the trick of words in communications between Gould nnd Hoxic, by whh meat waa violated. Mr. Powderly refers in much detail to what waa said on both aides a*, that conferonco, and proceeds to ray: When on Monday, March ?'th, you scut me a letter marked "personal" you at the aame time told a newspaper correspondent that you had done ic. What y<t>r motive mas in marking your letter ••pcnnnal” and At the aame time informing a .repretatlvc of tho prer* that. you so addressed me. I do not know, nor do f question your motive. I felt It to be my duty to lot the public see tho letter which contained tothingor a pcrwmal nature whatever. There*.sic people Mho might tie uncharitable enough to ray that your intention was to five out the Intpnwinu that (here wsk something between you and I which would not (war tho light of nubile »t nittny. 1 have had no such dealings with auy man since this trouble began. nor previous to Unit time. 1 am unite willing to allow the g reats-it light possible torhinc on iny ercry transaction. I have uothlug to roucval. Yon can settle this strike. Its louver continuance rest* with you, and you Every act of violence, every drop of blood lay Imp .-bed from this time forth must be laid . r door. Tho Knighta of Labor were uot ft'rated to promote or shield wrong doing, and to day the Older of the Knfglttsof !.abor stands be tween your property and min. We are willing to absolve tho men SJong your railways from their aileglaure to our order. We leave that to them selves We will hot allow toy claims which the order may have on them to stand between them and their it iteration to their limner post- ttor >. The order of the Knights of labor asks of no man to remain a member, If It Is not to hit In- ten »t to do so. You may dual with tli ,-ut as citt- fll snmnderour rights to nbemtfihey wish: but nra will not Mirn'uder our right to ice tni* aQWir thor* outhly invvsUgatcd. Mr. Powderly refer’a to Gould’s announced iateutian to bring suit against members of the Knighta of Labor for damages, and bids him ahead. The ordcT is prepared to meet him in the courts. It hia taken counsel of the beat legal mind in the l T uitcd States, and now awaits hia action. Mr. Powderly concludes with another appeal to Gould to take tho matter into hia own hands, ard lays: ally. the kliaaouri Pacific a free American citlz-cn. I am past IV yean of a; wtleas company should yield to Its demands in what you call a strike on that road. In answer to these persona! threats, I beg to aay that I am yet - ---- * ■— — * 1 of age. In thh — , — y Indus try temperance and attention to my own have been successful, perhaps beyond tho of my merits. If, as you say. I am now to dc de al royed by the Knighta of Labor unless I will sink my manhood, ko be It. Fortunately, I have rr tinned my early babita of industry. My friend ncighbom aud buslnes 1 : associates know me wet., nnd I am quite content to leave my porsoual rec ord in tbeir hand*. If any of them have au -L — complain of, 1 will beonlytoogtad tosubmlt arbitration. Jf such parties or any of thcmwlsl to appoint the Knighta of Labor or rou as their al torney, ouch appointment Is agrcealde to me, am. until such an election is msde. it will naturally occur to you that any interference * *“ my personal atlalm is, to say tho 1< uitoua. Mr. Gould tells Powderly that any attempt to connect him personally with tho late strike on Ihe southweriern roads, or any rcsponsibil ity therefor, is equally gratuitous. Although he waa President of theMhttouri Pacific when the ririko occurred, he was out of the country, having gone away, relying on 1'owderly’g proiuifio of last August that there should lie no strike on that road, and that if auy dif* Acuities should arise, Powderly would como frankly to him with them. Mr. Gould thin recites the correspondence which passed between Vice*President Hon* kins and Powderly when tho atriko began. To Hopkins’ second dispatch, Powderly never re plied. Mr. Gould then said: “Thi* correspondence places the continuation of the strike on your shoulders. You sat still an'* wan silent after Hopkins' urgent appeal,and allow cd the strike to go on-allowed tho company' property to bo forcibly seized and the citizens of tlin i! ■IT — ‘— — * * tion, and that disunion or it has never been changed." Mr. Gould then quotes the agreement that Mr. Hoile would meet a committee of aetnal employees, and aaya Mr. Hoxlo has always been aud la now ready to carry out that agrooment, but that no emptoyco has over presented him self to carry it Into effect, and that n largo number of strikers have been received back Into tho company’s employ. Mr. Gould concludes: to understand, will not at tho bo vlritcd upon me. tel me again remind you that ». -— * '— — —*•— yon American citizen whom and your order thus proposed to do»troy. The eon* test is not totween your order and Iho laws of tho land. Your order has already defied thoso laws In preventing, by violence, this company from opera ting its nad. You hold then that tht* com pany shonkl not operate its * conditions pre*cribcd by tho l under comillions prescribed by you. You now declare, in effect, that 1 hold my lndirldval iffopcrty and rights, not as other m«*n hold theirs, bnt only at tbo peril of your letting loose Irrevoca bly, after five o'clock, ycur order upon me. If this ia tmo of Uiis company and of me, it is true of nil other men and companies. If so you and your secret order are a law and aj American citizen Is such only In name. A1 read: for weeks your order lias. In your attack upon tills company, not hesitated to disable it by violence from rendering Its duly to the public nnd from giv ing work uud paying wages to men at IcAst three times your number, who were working by your .slCo ami nt lead deserving of 'your sympathy. Having pushed this violence bovoud even tho great forbearance of tho public and found In this direction cause to hesitate, yon now turn upon mo and prnpoto that tho wrongs you havo hitherto Inflicted on the public shall now culminate In nti attack upon an individual. In this, as I have said, tbo real issue is between you and the lows of tho land, it ini; you aro thr6ogb,these laws will suniol . you thatevon I, as an Individual citizen, am not beyond their care. • HIIWI UI1K.-II, BIU HU Very Rcspectmlly, Jay Covin.

Roanoke, Tcx., April 9.—Editors Consti tution: 1 bavo seen from time to time bkitchtsof the late unpleasantness between tbcctetCH. in tbo iusuoof April (ith is one from one signing himself Chickahominy giv ing a sketch of the gallantry of Hood's Bri gade at Culd Harbor, or aa we generally desig nate it, Gaines’ Mill, ill which he is iuclinoi, l.fce the Virginia paper which stated that a certain Virginia regiment with the help of a ftw Texans took that position, bo is inclined to claim all the honor for tho Eighteenth Geor gia regiment. Now, I belonged to tho First Texas and was in that engagement snd claim that they all did tbeir share of tho fighting. Not that J would nluck ono laurel from the feme of the gallant Eighteenth, for It was composed of as breve a ret a men as ever fired a musket, yet I claim that the Hampton Legion-Fifth, Fourth, First Texas—are Justly entitled to a share of the honors gained that day. I was a member of Company E, First Texas, and was in that engagement. Chickahominy gives tbo positions accurately so far as I know. The First Texan to tho right of tho Eigh teenth Georgia, and so on. The charge through woods and open fields, all right: until wo got to the ditch at the foot of the hill. When our lino came to the ditch or ravine, from some unknown causo the word passed down the lino to cease firing and we halted. While standing there the federals I cured tho most deadly volley into our ranks that we received during the engagement. Three men shot down in my company in about cue-half minute. Seeing our poril every man, without any or ders, moved forward and crossed the ravine, dislodged the enemy from behind the first lino of breastworks, and following np the advant age to the second line, drove them from that jiofcition, and frem there to the battory was open. The KigJifcciMjLJfrorgto and Fourth Texas were morein-frentof that battery than tho balance of the brigado sad they run over it. According to my recollection thorewore fccvcnteen pieces in that battery. After tho battery had been taken the First aud Fifth Texas were held in reserve, the legion, Eighteenth Georgia and Fourth Texas moving on. Tho general understanding, so far army knowledge went, was that tho Fourth Texas was entitled to the honor of repelling tho cav alry charge, and that they goffered more than any regiment in the brigade. At least tho Texas regiments certainly deserve more credit than Chickahominy has conceded to them. As wo were engaged we oannot point out any particular gallantry displayed, but orery one dono his part and did it well. Our gallant Colonel A. T. Rainey was A. _ got breastworks, and Lieutenant-Colonel Work y tll— just as we got to the second line of directed onr movements most of the.tlme after that. While wo were lying in line as reserve, I chanced to bo near a wounded yankeo and ctigased him in conversation, during which he silted me what command this was, and be ing informed that it was Hood’s Texas brigado, he said: "I thought yon roust bo Texans, or some other koll hounds, for I thought there were no set of men on earth that could toko that position." Another incident that probably many of tho command will recollect was while wo wore there, a colonel of a Virginia regiment who had como up and formed behind us, camo np on tho brink of tho hill to look over tho battle going on In the valley forward of ns, and while standing thoreiwas struck in the abdo men with a minsio ball and doubled up in a twinkling. Ho was probably commanding tho nrinkJinjr. _ .. Virginia brigado who, with tho help of a few Texans, took the position. We heard it ssia that the colonel command ing the cavalry regiment of fedorals that mado tho charge of tho forlorn hope, was wonndod, end proved to be the colonel who commsndod tho regiment of rognlars on the frontier of Texas before the war in which General Hood corvcdsi a lieutenant. Now, in conclusion, we do not want to detract from the merits of the gallant Eighteenth, but to claim a share for the balance of tho old brigade, which I believe most all of that regiment will bo wil ling to concede. llespectfnlly, A.

Union Point, Ga., April I I.—[Special.]— reople will ever listen with interest to the re hearsal of the deeds of tho gallant boys who faced death on so many different fields in de fense of the "lost cause," yet they should not forget the deeds no less great, though per formed at homo and in tho humbler walks of life—tbo deeds of the womon of the south. Soon after the war began tho ladies of this village secured a house near where the can ■topped for dinner. They exhibited their tendern>ss of heart in rclecting a namo for tho place. Instead of railing it a hospital (which would remind a sick soldier of a hard bod aud rongh cursing), a sign in large letters over tho door read thus: "Woysido Homo for our Sick Soldiers." Hundreds who were weary, received refresh ment in passing, whilo thoso who wore too foo- bio to go fkrther. found comfortable quarters and tender nursing within the "Homo."
