The strike of the li remen on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad which began on Monday, the 18th July, spread not only to all the great i trunk lines, completely suspend | ing the transportation of freight i between the West and the Fast, hut also to many workmen ein ployed in mills, factories and the mines. Reinforced ly immense numbers of the unemployed and tlu* roughs, rowdies and tramps now infest ing t he North and West, the striker prepcipitated bloody and fearful riots in Baltimore. I’ittshurg, Reading, Bullalo, liar i isbtirg. Chicago and other places; occupied town after town along the lines of the roads; binned many thousand freight ears and engines, dost roved bridges,depots and tracks, and defeated the mil i lia -cut against them in several engagements. In every city and town north of the Potomac and east f the Mi ssissippi the most intense excitement and alarm ex isted. All the Federal troops in the Atlantic and tiulf States, ex eept Texas, were concentrated at W ashington, Baltimore, Philadcl phia and Pittsburg. At Pittsburg, the rioters seem ed to lie the most furious, and en tered into a regular battle with the State militia, whom they de leak'd and caused to retreat. A correspondent in describing the -eenes and eonlliets at Pittsburg, and of the rioters beseiging the militia in the round house, where they attempted to roast them alive, hy pushing cars of burning' coke and petroleum against tin* round house, in which the soldiers had taken refuge, says: "(hit of tin* roar of the hungry dames came the rattle of musketry and the sharp report of the revolvers and Springlieh! rifles, and over all was heard the hoarse roar of aw lul imprecations from the tlions amis oi throats <ii men madd. n ed by blood ami drink and re venge, lli>‘ burden of which via ■ Death to Ihe Philadelphia Sol diers*—the devoted nine hundred hemmed in on ihree sides by roar ing torrents of fire and pelted with cannon shot and small arms. ’There was danger everywhere.— Women with chiidivn in their , arm- were shot down; the gun {Ccrs of tin* attacking parly were ■picked oil by t he sharpshooters of Brinlon's command.and fell about their pieces of artillery, to be car lied of to the hospitals or 1 lie un dertaking ollico-g Shouts, yells, jeers and eheei , mingled w ith the : groans of tin*living and tin- sharp j cries of the wounded, while the liery Hames -urged and leaped high in air or swept down to the ground in long lines like osiers before the Idas), until it seemed as if hell ii elf had yawned and turned loose its hosts in the heart of ihe city. ' MOM AT l.'iril.AUo. ( 'll ic Auo, .I ii ly Ji>. ihe moli of last night gathered in force on the | South Side this morning, and re i Hewed its depredations and acts of violence. They began with l some 2,000 and swelled to a mu I tit tide before noon. They showed savage bravado, and seemed fear less of death itself. However, w hen some >*) police, under olli cer Rainey, charged them, tiiev broke up alter that encounter. They re united again short ly, and prepared for a not her encounter at Sixteen I h st reel and Halstead via duct. An interchange of shots, stones and invectives succeeded. Then, the police, being re in fore ed, broke into 1 he mob with a yell that could be heard for blocks a way. The re inforcement;, con isistingof a squu.l of armed cav alry. under Col. Agramonte, made in conj ii net ion with the police, a deadly onslaught, the results of which are imperfectly known and are reported variously. One re port, which w as probably exagge rated, says that two were killed and 150 wounded. Another says 'that three were killed and fifty Wounded. There are certainly more than three killed. No names can be learned. This broke up the mob for a time, but they soon gathered again. A gang of tin* mob ran a passenger train oil the track at Twentieth sir. this morn ing, and alter allowing the pass engers to escape, smashed the windows and I'urnit lire of the sev eral cars. The second regiment, the mounted police and the regu lar veteran force of (Ahicago are on Ihe scene of bat t le. Tliedov ernor this morning appealed for United States troops. The Sfrilir afiiml Over.

The great railway blockade was broken on Wednesday, the 25th ult. bv the unconditional surren der of the strikers on the Erie railroad at Ilornellsville. This was brought about by (lie efforts of the counsel for the men and the large force of State militia concentrated at that point-. B. J. Donahue, better known as “Bold Jack,'' the leader of the strike, was arrested and carried to New York to answer charges of eon tempt of court, the road being in the hands of a receiver. The prompt disposition of troops along the line of the Hudson ri ver and New York central slopp ed all disposition to rioting, and there was little interrupt ion ex eept to through traliie. All the regiments called out have been dismissed, and the campaign in New York state, which at one ! ime threatened to be most disastrous both to life and property, wa-en ded without bloodshed or riot. Jn New Jersey all is now quiet. The strike was very general, hut the careful distribution of State militia bytlov. Bodle at threaten ed points, not only prevented any serious riots, but also enabled tin* railroad companies lo send out trains with new men. Special po lice guarded each station, and tip on every post and fence along the tracks were posted copies of the (Jovernor's proclamation, and the law m-'king the counties respon sible for property destroyed by mob—. Wav passengertrathe s::J I’ered, but wa- at no time totally suspended. In Pennsylvania all trouble is not yet over. The Pennsylvania Central and its branches are en gaged in forwarding accumulated freight from Pit.tsburg and other points. Federal and State troops are concentrated at points along the line, keeping t ig* strikers from interfering with traflic. Tlie.-tri ' i r at Pit tshurg are si ill out, but tr'!*rno resistance lo the move ment of trains. The Lehigh val ley and Northern! 'eytral railroads are-till blocked. AI Scranton ihe Mayor notilied flu* Delaware and Lack:,wanna men, Monday, that trains should run after that date if it look an army to protect them. The men thereupon voted to go back to work upon the single con dition that flic strikers should re ceive immunity for their action. This was promised them, and t rains began running at once. Af ter all trouble had been settled a passenger train from Northumb erland to Scranton was stopped near Plymouth at ten o'clock at night by a gang of 500 armed men who drove the engineer from his post. drew Ihe lire and sw itched the engine on to the siding. The pa; -engers in I lie t rain lied up the track to Plymouth. Tiie Baltimore and <) 1 1 io ollieiuls furnish the following statement of the situation on their road: "The strike is virtually ended between Baltimore and the Ohio river.— Trains are going out from Grafton Jveyser, Cumberland and Martins burg in large numbers, and with out the assistance of the military. W’e anticipate no further trouble. Numbers of the old men are re turning' to work, and more are of fering than we have use for.” The Baltimore Sun has the fol lowing from Keyser W .Va.,dated the J Ist ultimo: "A dastardly at attempt at wrecking trains was made two miles west of here last night. Battery E, fifth artillery, left from here for Piedmont to do guard duty. When they reached a point two miles west of here the loeomoi and one car were thrown from the track by a displaced switch. The train was moving at the rate of three miles an hour. With greater speed the train would have been thrown down a deep embankment, with serious loss of life. The only per sonal injury w as to a private, who had his leg had!y crushed between the cab and tender. Upon exam ination it was found that the three switches liftin' main track were unlocked and thrown open. 'The locks were found on the track near by.” llit v blockade of the Lake Shore road was broken on the 28th; and trains arc* now running regular. The Michigan Southern road was opened its entire length for freight on I lie 30th. Tiie Pittsburg', Cincinnati and St. Louis railway otlicialsannounce that they will receive freight from shippers to all points. The Miami trains are running without interruption. Several attempts to send trains from ('olumbus on the Panhandle road have proved fruitless, the strikers driving the men off. The strikers on the St. Louis and South eastern road at Nashville still hold out. The strike on the Canada South ern ended on the night of the 28th ult., the men surrendering. The strike on the Texas Pacille road came to an end on the 30th. The company agreed to pay the amounts due employees prior to June 1 by Aug. 25, and amounts due prior to Aug. 1 by Oct. 1, and to make their wages uniform with those paid by other Texas roads. Trainmen on the San Antonoroad have secured an advance of ten per cent, to take effect August 1. Freight trains art* running free ly on the Rock Island and Pacific and Western Pnion roads. The Peoria and St. Louis road runs only passenger trains. ThePhicago and Alton andVan tlalia roads are still blockaded. The < >hio and Mississippi is run niug trains regularly, the block ado having ceased on tin* 30th. Mr. Ackerman, vice-president of the Illinois Central, has tele graphed that the strikers are hold ing the road at Mattoon, Decatur, Eilingham and Carbondale. The tiovernor issued an order to the sheriffs along that road to protect it in running it- trains at all haz anls. and notified them that all necessary assistance will be af forded. flu* jails are tilled w ith riotous strikers. Arrests have been made at Jersey city, Trenton, Phillips burg, Kaston, Pittsburg, Bullalo, Altoona. Harrisburg, Scranton, Philadelphia and many other pla ces. Many have been convicted and sentenced, the penalties vary ing from a small fine to 3 months imprisonment, W \smxuton. .Inly 20.— The dis patches received bv the Fnited States t b>\eminent ollicials last night from Governor Carroll, (Inventor Ilartrauft, Generals Hancock and Barry and Colonel Geldv,at various point: of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and Pennsylvania Central railroad, are all of an encouraging and satisfactory character, (ieneral Hancock reported that there was -till some trouble in the coal re gions of Pennsylvania, but he thought it coukl le easily over come by co-operation between the United States and Slate troops. Col. Scott, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, telegraphed here to-day that everything is going on in a satisfactory manner on that im portant road, and (ieneral ilan cock regarded this as a solution of the question in Pennsylvania. Freight has been moved in nume rous trains on portions of the Baltimore and Ohio road today, land to-morrow an attempt will he made move freight trains from this city to Cumberland, [ probably beyond. If this be successful, as is expected, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will | be regularly open. TLc 8 ai<li:m %Vai\ m.Ac'K 1111.1.5. | Dkadwooo, Dakota, July 24. J (ien. Dawson, a prominent citizen | of this place, received a letter to ] night from the town of Speerlish, asking him. for (toil's sake, to send | them assistance, and saying that | the Indians are raiding the valley j and burning the ranches. All t lie | women and children and other persons from the ranches have ta | ken refuge in Speerlish. 'The following despat ch was re ; ceived at the War Department in W ashington, on the 27th ult. from Ass. Ailj. General R. G.

Twenty ranclie men are already dead.— Seth Bulloch, slierill of Terry, lias no arms or ammunition. Can a disposition of troops be made that will give the Black Hills settlers some protection. IDAHO. San Francisco, July 27th. —On Friday and Saturday of last week Dunwell learned from some In dian squaws and old Indians that Joseph was intrenched ontheLo lo trail above Oro Finn and (Jama Prairie crossing; that lie was not going to leave the country, but was increasing his forces every day; that lie had then with him between 400 and 500 warriors, and said that he would soon have as many as Gen. Howard, anil lie intended to whip him, and then go to Lewiston and back to Walla Walla. The Indians claim to have all the supplies they need. Jo seph's camp is at the canyons of Lolo creek, and liis position is ve ry strong naturally and almost in accessible south or west. The up preaches to liis stock are dillicull and apparently well guarded.— One of the old Indians referred to (old Lieut. Dunwell that all the young men in that section have gone to join Joseph. Dunwell and his party lias applied for guns to arm a company organized at Pierce city, and consisting of 4t> men, most of whom are without arms. Dunwell says if arms can not he hail he desires a force of armed men to go back with him and escort (lie families out of the city. Without arms there to do fend the place, it must he aban doned, ns lie believes the people there are in great danger of attack at any moment from Joseph. MONTANA. Di-;i-:i: Loiiuk, July i>o.-—Govern or Potts returned from Missoula this evening. On Saturday, Look ing Glass and 300 Indians and squaws, and some horses, passed out of Lola Fork, around Captain Rawn, in the Bitterroot valley. Some of the settlers had been in the Indian camp, anil the Indians assured them that they would pass through tlie country without de stroying life or property. The cit izi'iis, therefore, did not care to light. Captain Rawn declined to (ipt*u tire with his small command of regulars.
