MOBS AT Al.TOONA A AKKISBUBO. Three laya or Terror and Turbaleaee Soldiers Jeered, Mtoned Md fired Into Extracts from Private Letter. The reign of terror inaugurated during the past week extended to every important railroad town in this State, and the sights and scenes of this period were terrible in the extreme. Tbe following extracts from a private letter will give some idea of the situation at Altoonaand Harrisburg on Saturday and Sun day last. THREE DAYS OF TERROR.

Thank God I we are in Harrisburg safe. You can have no idea of what we passed through by the accounts in the papers. They do not tell the half. For three days we have had so much excitement in Altoona that I could not sleep. The depot, streets, and the porches of the Logan House have been filled by roughs; me worsi loosing men 1 ever saw.

many ot them were strangers. The employees have been very quiet and good humored, but very firm. All the front windows had to be keDt shut, and we felt it almost unsafe to be in the dining room. The first outbreak was when the tirst soldiers passed through. Thev were fed from the hotel with sandwiches and coffee in buckets, and we thought that they would have no opposition, but they were kept by the train being UNCOUPLED TIME AFTER TIMS iy strange men.

Finally thev eot off a. lucky chance. The next train did not fare so well. It bore the Black Hussars Company. When the strikers beat the engineer and tried to pull him off, the soldiers came out and made a Hue on each side of the engine and protected it.

When it started thev threw their guns into the train and jumped on. The mob fired pistols on them, killing one man and woumung several otners irom tbat time there was no quiet, one rush after another was made. On Saturday morning four hundred soldiers arrived from Philadelphia, one colored regiment, one white and 40 of the City Troop. They were sent to open the round house.which was locked up with all the freight engines. Whilst lhey were slandina there the white regiment and the colored one handed their GUN8 AND CARTRIDGES TO THE 8TRIKHR8.

and said that they had not come there to shoot tailoring men. 1 bis left a very few more than the City Troop. The mob then eot no on the high iron bridge, just above the house, and teased the troopers, callingthem pretty soldiers, too pretty to hurt, and telling them that they had tifieen hundred revolvers in their crowd. They begged them to go home, offering them an engine and cars, but telling them that not one of them would be left alive if they attempted to go west. They then let them come to the hotel to dine.

They felt that they were in a very tight place. We heard that a train was coming through, and I thought we had better come at once, even on a risk. We bad A FRIGHTFUL TIME 8TARTTNG. The disaffected soldiers piled into the first two cars and we found a few through passengers from the West on the Pullman. The depot was crowded with men, screaming and yelling and trying to force themselves into the car.

We flew fairly, at fiftv four miles an hour, and the road seemed to be lined with men, for we flew past the stations so quickly. At Huntingdon there was some trouble, For awhile we thought we would be lorn in pieces, lhe strikers mounted the engine and uncoupled it dozens of times, and at last refused, positively to let the train go, after keeping us sitting there, in the midst of that infuriated mob, for two hours. We were perfectly powerless, unarmed, and expecting every moment volleys of balls through the windows. At last the Pullman conductor came and told me to get out, that he would try to get us through, and we had to walk the whole length of that long depot, all the side doors being locked. When we reached the hotel they told us the mob had torn all the soldiers THAT WOULD NOT FIGHT AGAINST THEM out of the cars and told them lo walk to Philadelphia, for the train should not go.

About three o'clock this morning the engine and mail started, but they havt not been reported yet. They will have hot times here. There are 80U soldiers in lhe arsenal, and there will no doubt be trouble. I have had enough of it. I would rather walk than go over tbe road again and spend another such four days.
