A Stoppage' at the 11icumo.ni Coal Wharves. Since Monday morning last.says the Pennsylvania Inquinr, the majority of the men employed at handling and loading coal at Ui3 wharves in Richmond have not been at work, and business in that, line is nearly at a stand still.

The cause of the stoppage may be found the fact that, 0:1 Saturday night last, the bosses" or coal operators announced to their men that, on and after Monday morning they would give but cents per hour to eiich mxn employed in loading coal, instead of 15 cents per hour, as heretofore. There are eighteen conl tvluirves at Illoh mou.d, andufcoux sue eniloy LIS cd loading the black diamonds" when aftir business i3 doing. At present only about two or three hundred are employed. The mrharves present the appearance of Sunday just now, quiet reigning undisturbed. There has been no trouble among the employed hands, although they indulged in a freet fight among themselves yesterday.about some other matter than the strike.

There is less coal than usual at Richmond, but to thoie unacquainted with the gigantic calc in which coal exportation is carried on at this port, the quantity of the useful Mineral would seem immense. "Wharvea nearly one hundred yards long are stored with coal, while hundreds of coal cars stand on the tracks with full loads, waiting to be emptied The process of emptying these cars is very summary. The tracks run along the tops of the wharves, (which are more like sheds or ware houses than wharves,) and when the cars are drawn opposite to where the sloops or schooners receiving their cargo lie, a gangway is let down from the wharf to the vessel, and the car load is tumbled into the vessel "all in a heap." The wharves being roofed over, by removing the roofs or tops, thousands of tons can be emptied into the hollow space underneath and stored there, ready for shipment We presume That when the demand for coal gels nine unanui iu um ui ivo nm uv en, and the men will go to work. Their wa ges are low enough in all conscience, and 6 they have only eight months in the year du ring which their work cau be done Hall of Neveesink Fibe Company, Tuesday Evening, August 30, 1859.

23, 1859. Dear Times: I will now resume my wan derings in Massachusetts, and th; glance at incidents that are occurring around me. The day but one after my return from Camp Meeting, was given to the festivities of the great annual pic ni 3, gotten up" by the Unitarian ancl Universalist Churches, in and around New Bedford, for the benefit of their respective Sabbath Schools. I will not describe it in detail, as it differed very little from many othersimilargatherings.exceptin Us immense size, in the abundance of every thing fine singing, fine speaking and fine feeling, and the uncommon beauty of the place at which it was held. It took about twenty three passenger and other cars, which had been tastefully fitte up for the occasion, to carry the large party to and fro over the "Fairhaven Branch Rail Road," besides which hundreds Went in their own conveyances.

Mr. gentlemanly and efficient Superintendent of the Road, conducted the whole affair in person, and in a manner which reflected the greatest credit on himself and all concerned. Everything passed off in the roost pleasant and agreeable manner, not excepting the bnkcdi pork and beans of our esteemed friend Auwt.Tbank ful, (pity that more1 of our readers are Dot With' th.A mnnrnn lifmif nilWn I A i ii i. in herself and husband,) and the yoenjr ladies tft llAO to whose care we were committed, mode the day pass like a pleasant dream long to be remembered. But enough of what we see at home.

The grand climax of all that appertains to sport was yet in store, and the morning dawn, that saw us winding our way to the wharf, preparatory to going on board the beautiful yacht Cornelia, found us as happy as mortals of earth have a right to Our esteemed friend Capt. Holt, a retired ship master, had kindly solicited in our be half, the company of Capt. Perkins, and the services of his model craft, for a fishing es 1. cursion on jiuzzaru iay. ve went on board, the sails were set, and we started be fore as fine a breeze, aa ever wooed the sjii ior to the ocean's bosom: and my modesty compels me to say, that for the first time I took tho helm and steered a vessel out of port.

Our first days fishing was in the bay, off Angclico Island; and was distinguished more by the variety and numbers of our fin ny captives, than by their great size or any startling incidents, thafotherwisc occurred I here saw for the first time, what is called a sea raven, or sea robin.which besides having Tvings of a moderate length, is quite expert ia singing and the globe fish, of ordinary siio and shape when caught, but which upon being handtled, swells out to the rotundity of a globe. This last reminds me forcibly of some men I have seen, who will swell up when they are rubbed only with a little soft soap We took our dinners ashore on Angelico Isl and, upon whose highest rocks our friends tad superintended the getting up of a dinner of boiled fish and roasted quohogs, which enabled us to compliment the abilities of our cook, and established one fact of importance that a man can eat a great many fish, clams if not more. The first night we spent on shore, and, starting early next we sailed for what was considered the best fishing ground upon the bay. We had passed Palmer's and Egg Island's, the Dumpling most intense sensation of delight; in the former, I was hiddon much of the time from the vessel's hull by waves that intervened and mountains of water seemed to be rolling on to mc over thesiorn of the yawl. On tha latter, my feet sometimes rested on the white crest of the waves, and again I was lifted Biay feet in the air, as the vessel mounted some huge cap.

The effect was so intoxicating from, that I felt now and thea a faint desire to leap into the boiling waves. We reached the harbor in safety, and I found that several old fishermen had been anchored there all day, because it was too rough to fish. Had I the power, I would describe the place where we rested. Around the quiet little in wh5ch 0lir with some doz. en others, hung like a noiseless bbd, on one side, just to the right of the setting sun down in his bed of glory, was the isl; and of 1 1 1 1111 the low stony shore that hero and there pro jected out into tho sea, was a bright green lawn, on whose receding clevutiou from the sea, stood a picturesque looking eld kouse barn, and outbuildings and near the shore razed horses, cattle and sheep.

Baci Of al this, and near the centre of the island, arose quite a hill, from whose summit looming against the bright warm sky, stood a rough stone lookout, where the owner, and inhabit or of the island, an old pilot, stood glass in hand, where he had spest much of his time for forty years, gazing ell upon the broad Atlantic, for some sail likely to call him and his proud little craft, from the harbor below Un the hillside, was a IV well beaten path, leading from the house to ths lookout. lUtiW children frolicked about the house aged women were there, and a poor consumptive, the father of the children, sat coughing almost his last cough, upon a rock where the sea breeze played over his haggard cheeks. I thoughtlessly looked about to see where his grnve might be dug, amid the rocks around. On the South East, was a larger iskadi, peparating.us from the ocean in that direction, the name of which I now forget On the north, and between the latter aii'd the fslsnd by which we lay, was a small rocky island, rightly named Gull, from fir nfffltitude of these birds that hovered around, and screamed over its barren shore It was a most romantic spot at sunset, twi light, and midnight; and I shall not soon forget the little harbor, where the sea gulls screamed me to sleep, after I had seen joyed all, that the place and the hour afford ed. As my letter has already assumed most huge proportions, I will defer our battle with the shark to enliven my next, and last communication.

RAPHAEL. Ccbious Adventure. The Easton Express states that while Dr. Geo. W.

Freeman of Frecmansburg, was recently on a visit to some patients above Hope's Locks, on this side of the Lehigh, he had occasion to tie his horse to a tree, on an elevation, near a deep and precipitous embankment. During his absence the horse in some manner managed to back the sulky, to which he was attached, and finally himself, over the embankment; the result was that he fell to the extent of the line which secured him to the tree, and there hung, in which position he was discovered. To add to his misfortune, in his descent he had disturbed a community of hornets, which literally covered him and nearly stung him to death. To leave the animal in the position in which he was, would be to have risked his being stung to death by the hornets or chok po by the halter suspending him to cut him pose would have subjected him to almost cer tain death on the rocks and stones beneath The horse was literally held to his torture, and for a time no one would venture to approach him for the hornets which covered him. Fi nally, however, it was determined to out him loose, as the only chance for his, recovery this dangerous operation undcr.tAk.efl, and performed by a German, who camoff "more than victor." Immediately after being loose, with a crash the horso went headlong down the precipice in rebounding, tree caught him, tearing a frightful gash, in the neck and; face, then leaving; him to continue the descent.

Wonderful as. it may appear, with the exception of the above he received no other injury. BsfiKs County Map.
