It Was reported that about 3,000 miners, who came in from the surrounding country made tho attack. . The tclegragh lines were nil cut, and tho sheriffs in that vicinity were thus preventedtfrom oommunicating with the governor in order to call out the militia. One of the coal hoppers svas burned during the night, entailing a loss of about $4,000. No definite information had been received for the reason of tho cutting off of telegraphic communication. As soon os the lines are repaired, direct communication will be had with the governor. The Columbus and Hocking Valley railroad and Coal company's officials went down on a special train Sunday morning. They expect further trouble later in the day* thk first saws ok tiie riot. Sheriff McCarty, of Athens county, sent tho following telegram to Governor Hoadly from Buchtel, which is in tho neighborhood of where the riot occurred : Thu shooting was commenced by the rioters -'out 2 a. m., and continued about an hour.

The striking miners aro concentrat ing at Murray City, and the deputy sheriff in charge thero has applied to the sheriff for aid. It is thought that troops will be called out. At all other points in tho valley everything is re ported quiet. Murray city is about fifty miles from Snake Hollow, and not so well guarded. The rioters aro firing on tho guojas at tho Sand Run and Longstreth mines. Both ?? laces have called for help and the militia at ancestor and New Lexington havo boon or dered to bo in readiness for marching orders. Owing to tho cutting of the wires particulars are obtained with-difficulty.

Continued firing is reported at Longstrcth. Communication by telegraph with that point has been cut off for tho past hour. Governor Iloadley, on arriving at his office at midnight, received the following: Logak, O.. September L???To Geo.

The governor at once ordered out all of the Fourteenth regiment, the??Du(iy and the Gov ernor???s Guards, the Lancaster, Cirelovillo and New Lexington companies, and roplied to Sheriff McCarty that tho troops tvero on their way, and asking If moro wero noeded. The Lancaster company being only 20 miles from Logan was sout to that g lare to guard the jail. One of tho leaders in io riot at Snake Hollow, last night, and tho one believed to have killed O???Hara, was ar rested and brought to jail at Logan. The mob was coming into town to release him. A PBZCOKCKBTBD BIOT. McCarthy at the , depot. Everything was quiet, and after holding a ahort interview both retired, with tho undoratanding that thoy would meet at 10 o???clock, to talk over the sit uation. Sheriff McCarthy told tho governor he expected further troublo, aud wanted tho men on the ground, though ho had heard of no depredations on Saturday night lurther than some shooting and the cutting of wires bo- tween Logan and Longstrcth. Tho governor pressed his questions closely, and told the sheriff that ho had nino companies o' militia in waiting, but they would no) bo or dered to move until Monday. In tho mean time they would*go down amongst tho strikers and endeavor to hold a consultation with tho leaders. The company at Lancaster has ar rived at Logan and was placed on duty at tbo. jail. Some one told tho governor early in the evening that tho trouble was.in a great degreo, a political aflair,and he concluded uot??to order the troops to move till he had investigated tho matters perqpnally. all quirr ix nocKixa valley. Everything is quiet this, Monday, room in; There is no authentic report of damage person or property last night. Thero was _ rumor this morning that fifteen men had been killed at Buchtel, but it lacks confirmation, and thero is probably nothing in the report. Telegraph communication Is in good shape this morning, and it was learnod that thero was continued firing only last night between the strikers and the guards at Sand run and Longstreth. It is not lcarnod,that any person was injured. Governor Hoadly arrived in Logan in special train this morning, and is disposed to learn all he can about the situa tion before ordering moro troops on tho ground. He was furnished with a special train by the road, aud is accompanied by his private secretary snd a representative or th?? associated prsss. Governor Hoadly had consultation with tho loading citizens'of Lori them being Judge Frlf this morning, among mem ucmg junge moa ner, Colonel Beth Wolby. the sheriff and others. He says he has formed no definite conclusion as yet from the talks ho has had, but will make a circuit of tho mines and try to sec the leaders on both sides. He will bo ac companied by tho sheriff, Judge Fricsner and others. A COXFK8SIOX MADE. Frank Woody, who was arrested and jailed here for participating in tho riot on Saturday night, and for shooti; ******' ~*??? w , ing William O???Hara, ot tho guards, made a full confession this morn ing in which ho gave the names of fivo or six leaders of tho???attack of Saturday night. Sher iff McCarty will not make public the names of thoso implicated until thosuspected persons have been arrested. tnE true cause of the BIOT. Tho situation in Hocking Valley is tho most dangerous if the minors once organized for of fensive measures there. Ten thousand mon are idle, and have been so for months beenuso of tho disagreement between them and tho mine owners about ??? tho price to bo paid for mining. The owners liavo adopted the plan of working miners from olsowlicro??? Italians and others willing to accept lower rates, and also of using machinery whero practicable. Thus these men, in idleness, with families dependent, see their places to day filled by foreigners and tho last hope of employment at any price cut off. Tho intro duction of black-legs, os the men are called, who work at lower rates than tho miners claim ik Just, has been attended with some disturbance. The mine owners have been compelled to hlro guards to protect tho men from violence, and tbo block-legs have beon virtually imprisoned in tho mines. Thero bos been talk for some time that tho miners would concentrate and drive tho block-legs from tho mine. Tlio work of Saturday night was the first indication of carrying out such a pur pose. THE STORY OF SATURDAY XIOHT. % A fuller account of that disturbanco says that it culminated at half-past one o???cleck Sunday morning, by an attack of armed strikers variously estimated at from 75 to 100. ??? iuhuusi; rawjiiMkuu ut arum iv w iuu. resulting in the instant killing of ono guard and tho wounding of two others. It is known that a good number of tho attacking party were ??? shot, but it is impossible to ascertain their names. Snako Hollow has been guard ed by 35 Pinkerton guards, but a fow days ago they were transferred to other points, and their places filled by guards from Logan Special trains have beon put on the railroads fit the governor???s disposal. At a ilato hour last night the telegraph wire was cut so that there is no communication with points below Logan, except as .couriers reach south- .era points, and send to tho city by circuitous routes. This docs not enable the authorities to know what is going on till.two or three hours have elapsed, and it is believed that a riot prevails since midnight at certain points. The bank bosses at New Straitsville report that no men are to bo found injtbat town. The woaien refuse to tell thoir whereabouts. Thoy are believed to be out in riot according to a general and preconcerted plan. Advices are meogre and unsatisfactory.?????? Sheriff McCarty, of Hooking county, tele- n ??lied from Logan that he had five points is county whero the riot is beyond his con trol, and he is unable to get at them so as to f ive any definite information as to what is eingdone, The governor replied that three hundred and fifty troops were on the way, and more were under marching orders if needed. THE STORY OF THR RIOT. At midnight Saturday night 2,000 or 4,000 masked men, heavily armed, appeared at Tenge for the many insults thrust upon since the strike began. Their appearance was tbe signal for firing from the guards, which was promptly and vigorously re plied to by the attacking party of miners. The firing was very brisk for a few minute* and when the smoke cleared away it was found that O???Hara, from Logan, who was acting as captain of the Snaka Hollow Guards, was lying dead with several bullet holes'in his body. Two other of the Guards had received alight fieeh wounds. It is not known whether, any of the miners were wounded. None were left'on the field. It it laid that the attacking party had ropes with which hang the ???blackleg*,??? who had been hang the ???blacklegs,??? repeatedly warned to desist from working, and that they had actually placed ropes around tbe necks of two men. This morning David Woody, a miner living at Kclsonvillc, was arrested, charged with com plicity in Saturday night???s attack, and was sent to Logan in a special car and placed in jail. GOYKRXOR HOADLRY???* FBBSOXAL ACTIOV. The militia are being held, at 2:15 a. m., tor furl hr r orders. The Lancaster company is at Logan guarding the jail* The Cirdeville and Now Lexington companies have been taken by a special train to Lancaster, and all the rest of tbe troops ordered ont are being held here. The governor has just left on a special train for the scene of the trouble to investigate the matter for bimeelf, and will then* order the troop* if be thinks necessary. It will take an hour and a half for him to reach the point of trouble. Governor Hoadly arrived at Logan early ~ st by Sheriff Bunday morning. He was met their place* filled by guards from . and that neighborhood, twenty-two in her, armed with brecch-loaaing shot-guns and a braco of revolvers apiece. At tho time of the attack but nine guards were on duty. They gave the alarm and opened fire. The rest of the guards rallied aud for ton minutes a continuous fire was kept up. Moro than ono thousand shots were oxchangod, aud tho strikers wero at last driven back.- Wm. O???Hara, oi Logan, an old veteran ol tho lato war, was doing guard duty at tho time. Tho strikers, no doubt, knew his position, and ho was taken by surprise. Ho was hoard to say: ???For God???s sake, gentlemen, havo nyircy,??? and was instantly shot dead, moro than forty bufckshot entering his body, literally tearing away his shoulders. He was an industrious roan, much esteemed and well known in Logan. Ho leaves a wife. Jacob Lieft, an ex-]??olico officer of Logan, was shot through the calf of tho log by buckshot, but not dangerously. Adam Bower, a German and unmarried, aged about 25 years, was shot in the head by buckshot, receiving a scalp wound, which is not dangerous. Barney Donnelly, Albert Riggs and William Humph rey, track layers, were asleep in a barn just outside tho picket line. The barn was sur rounded by the strikers and all three captured. Donnelly was knocked down and badly beaten, but the others escaped. Donnelly said thero wero about 75 in tbe party, all masked. Somo had their faces blackened, others had hand kerchiefs tied over their faces and all wire armed with shotguns, pistols and rifles. Ho says that while he was with them one dropped down and fell into tho arms of another, and was carriod off. He hinks several were badly wounded. From Donnelley???* statement it appear* that a sec ond attack was to be made. Jle says: road,{a distance of about a quarter of a mile, where reinforcements wero expected. The man who appeared to be the leader, said: ???Boys.UUno use to fiqht. Our reinforcements have failed to was to intimidate the new men and run them off. RElXFOtCRMRXTa FOR THE fTRiaaB*. The miners in the Ohio central region, along Sandy creek, went out to-day on the f retext of not giving the September advance, t is reported that they will join the Hocking Valley strike, befog adjacent to that region. Dispatches from Gear, Ohio, re . report that the excitement in that region is growing and that there are rumors of more outbreaks having occured last night of which no particulars are obtainable. Three non-union miners went to work this morning but threats of violence against them are growing more and more open. fie.v??nnr TTnadlv'i mnvomnnU im nntlrnnwn Governor Hoadly???. movements arc cot known, though h. i. making a personal appeal to tho striker.. ft central Pennsylvania .flairs in tho miners' comp are quiet. When tho sheriiT and hil deputies arrived at the scene, the camp wa. almost de serted, only four or five men being present. It ???cntfU, uuaj auug ui uvc tucu iretuj ???? was decided to postpone the reading of the riot act until the companies returned. The non-union men were allowed to go work this morning unmolested. At Coal Centre, Pa., the sheriff did not call at the miners???camp, consequently thestrikers round, and as determined as are still on tbe ground, and as determined as ever. Keel???s nil nee were not visited to-day, and the officers on guard had a quiet time. A call was made at the Empire works, but the _ - A. _ . aAH.isItaltfin ??? non-unionists, after a peaceful consultation, declined to come out. The event to-day was tbe arrival at Courtney of a number of Hun garians for tbe purpose of going to work at the Garfield mines. No Hungarians have hereto fore been employed in tbe district, and their advent at this time is regarded with concern. A camp will be established at Courtney to morrow to prevent them from going to work. The operators say that if the strike continues much longer. Hungarians will be introduced In all the mines. , The Wot o? Saturday Night Succeeded by a Great Calm. Columbus, Ohio., September 2.???The situa tion at the mines to-day is the most quiet of ??? damage eny time since the strike began. No to person or property resulted from the at*. tacks of last night. The governor has ordered tho militia companies which woro being held for marching older* to be dismissed ftr the present, with tho exception of company It. of Delaware, which will be taken to the vicinity of the mines this afternoon to be used at dif ferent points on tho riot. AXOTHKR MIDNIGHT ATTACK. Cincinnati, O., September 2.???A special to tho Timcs-Star from Gore, Ohio, says every thing is quiet there, and no attack is expected in tbe day time. About a hundred strikers moved on Buchlet lost-night, and fired on tho guard. The fire being promptly returned, tho strikers fled. No casualties are reported from tho firing.

Tho oper ators havo concluded to concentrate then guards at the mines on tho Hocking and Ath ens companies at two or three places, and hold tho authorities of Perry county responsible for the dnmago to property in that county. This order has not been given by tho syndicate, but it is looked for In n doy or two. A largo number of miners in Stratsville own the prop erty in which they live... THK BUSINESS YEAR.

The rumble nnd thunder of the exploding ord- nanco train was accompanied by wild shook of locomotives as their hollers wont to pieeos under tbo exploding hands of tho confede rates. When morning broko, most of tho soldiers were gone, ouly a fow straggling cavalryinon being left behind to bring up the roar, and they seemed bent on getting out of town os rapidly as possible. In tho midst of this, felio non-combatnnts were in a state of terror and for the greater part, remainod in doers.

Thus did Sherman???s troops oeeupy Atlanta until THAT FATAL NOVEMBER NIGHT Sherman had prepared to leave. From tho first entrance of the blue coats, there had been a general belief that tho city would be burned. Such a fate was talked of on all sides. At lut the fatal time arrived and tho torch was applied. A wild fire it was as the busy little city of fifteen thousand poople was turned over to the devouring element. All the busi ness part of tbe city was a mass of llamo that rapidly spread In every flirection, and when morning dawned the amoking rqin* and tot tering walla, and untinol-like chimneys marked the charred spot, and as tbe last federal disap]>cared over the brow of Gartreli's hill stillness and desolation reigned about the spot where Atlanta had stood.

RUST IN COTTON. The Crop of the State .Suffering Severely From the Had Weather. Reports sent in to the department of agri culture show that the cotton crop of tho state, especially in southern aud southwestern Geor gia. is in a bad fix from rust. The nut seems to be particularly fatal and the crop is put at 8* per cent of an average against 20 per cent a month??? ago. This damage to the crop f* theuDht to be due to the long rain* and subsequent dry season. It is estimated that Ine cotton crop will be cut off all the way from fifteen to twenty per cent by tbe rust.
