Address: C. A. Editor and Manager, BISMARCK, D. The recent railroad difficulties has ef fected railroad stock in Wall street. Th wanton distraction of several million dol lars worth of railroad property, at Pittsburgh, on Sunday of last week cannot excused.

Those who committed the dep redatioBs should be severely punished We trust the strong arm of the larw wil attend this matter. Luther for Missouri Valley Heretofore, all the pine lumber used in the Missouri valley, has been transporte by rail at a heavy expense, either from th valley of the Mississippi or from the pine ries of Michigan. Common lumber is now worth $28 per thousand feet at Bismaci while flooring, siding, are from $4 tc $2 more, according to quality. The day is not far distant however when we shall manufacture our own pine lumber from timber run down from th upper tributaries of the Missouri and Yel lowstone Gen. Buell, who is now engaged in con structing the new post on the Big Horn at the mouth of the Little Big Horn, ha a mill ia operation, twenty miles above the post, cutting pine for the construction of the post.

Those who have explorec that say there is an immense body of good white pine, covering an area of not less than five thousand square miles extending to the National Park on one side and into the Wind River mountains on the south. This timber can be driven to Bismarck for one dollar per thousanc feet after it is banked, as there are no ob structions and no troubleabou the logs running out on to bottoms, as al the streams keep within their banks during their high stages. There is always an abundance of water in the summer fo) driving, caused by the melting snow in the mountains. Steamers can be run up the Yellowstone and Big Horn to where the pine timber is first seen, thus ensuring supplies at a cheap rate. The pine timber" of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota is in the hands of a few men, and the standing timber is held at from three to five dollars per thousand feet, while here to the west of us is an immense tract of timber subject to location by preemption and homestead, that is worth more to the country than the golc mines of California.

The lumbermen of Minneapolis Who, like Alexander, are looking for new fields to conquer, will here find a chance to make fortunes in a business that they are masters of. They should send up supplies at once to the new post by the steamer, and then they could put in crews and cut several millions the coming winter. Bismarck will be the great outfit ing point for all this lumbering, and the who develop this business will reap a rich harvest. The labor strike still continues to I increase. The cloud which at first ed "as a man's and of local importance only, has suddenly developed its gigantic proportions until it overshadows the entire capital interest of many States; possibly may involve the entire country in the matter of settling this great problem of desired harmony between Capital and Labor.

This movement seems of spontaneous growth and sprang into existence with such unheard of rapidity and unanimity as to electrify the whole country. Although it cojm- raenced as a railroad strike, yet it does not end there. It is a combined outcry of the laboring masses of the against the long continued aggressions of monied monopoly, under a false conception of its true interest. Capital has been aggressive, and on every occasion where a pretext was possible, has cut down the per diem of the laboring classes until it has become, with a large majlor ity of them, a terrible struggle for simply an existence. The long continuance of this policy of aggression towards the laboring interests prepared the way for the sudden bursting forth of this long pent-up spirit of dissatisfaction been boring masses of the country for weary months.

The very air see: us full of it, and almost before 'e can realize the fact of a labor strike being in: ugura- ted in any one locality, the whole country is ablaze with escitemeut, and the meetings of the seetl ling populace of discontent and demand: for justice at the hands of employers, i heard from one end of the land to tlie otbjbr, and unanimity with which the cry taken up everywhere by the people, and the manifest sy mpat received at the hands of ot ler citizens may wellalarm thpse wj trol our great corporation; and are engaged in aggregatin we the of the hjorny toil, for it is a fact which may looked square in the face that universal uprising has received the hearty sympathy of the bsst people in the land, as far as their and demands were concerned, and) regret- ing that they allowed themselvesj through excitement, to permit the destruction of property and other lawlesi actol, which, of course, must! receive the heJirty condemnation of all good citiz ens.

PAUL, July great strike is as rampant as ever, and gathers streng daily. All freight is absolutely blockei, and passenger traffic badly ia- ed. No very serious or fatal out- terrup breaks have occurred, though in several large Cities the demonstrations of strikers were accompanied with more or less lenpe and intimidatioa. IN LOUISVILLE ob marched through the streets attacked depot, of the Great Southern road, ished the Windows and doors, anc wrecked the houses of the president the roa 1 and mayor of the city. The police finally dispersed the mob aad restored order.

IK ST. LOUIS AND CHICAGO large crowds gathered and marched through the streets, with riotous demonstrations, stopping factories, and receiving large accessions to their ranks from all classes of laboring men. No serious outbreak occurred in cither city though in Chicago the mob had twocol- lissions with the police, and eventually gathered in force and stopped the running of the street cars. The citizens have organized for protection of life and property, and six thousand men are ready to be sworn in as special police. The situation elsewhere is about the same as reported yesterday.

SUBSIDING IN NEW YORK. ST. P.AUL, July great strike seems to have spent its force and is now receding at Hornelsville, the difficult having been settled by mutual concessions. In Cincinnati the strike is dead, and the city has resumed its normal quietude. In Indianapolis the movement is weakening, and passenger trains are running Louisville is quiet In St Louis a large mob are parading through the streets, visiting factories and stopping workmen, but doing no violence.

RED HOT IN CHICAGO. In Chicago yesterday three separate encounters between the mob and police, aided military and citizens. The firsi fight occurred at 7 o'clock, near the Halstead reet viaduct, where a mob of not less ths.n ten thousand attacked sixty police anil drove them to the freight house of the Jurlington Quincy road. About eleven o'clock a second fight ensued, when the police and several companies of military fired upon the mob and routed them. Five of the rioters were killed outright, and a large number wounded.

The third encounter en ed about 30 last night, in which the mob was again routed with considerable loss. out the night the city was strongly guarded at all the most important points. IN 9AN FRANCISCO the Pacific mail docks were fired and burned by the mob on the when a fearful riot ensued. The citizens and vigilantes turned out enmasse and drove off the rioters, killing several. Since then the city is comparatively quiet, with the exception of the burning of several ese wash houses.

PROTECTION TO BLACK KILLERS, Gov. Fenaington has telegraphed to the Secretary of War for troops to protect the citizens of the Black Hills against the raids of Indians, The application was referred to Gen. Sheridan. Four Thousand of Ja One Boiy. Fargo Times.

The railroad company sent o4t a special train to Casselton on Monday afternoon for a short excursion, which was participated in by about 75 ladies and jentTeman from Fargo and Moorhead, and a number of gentlemen from the east. The'crops are looking beautiful, and many of the fields will be ready for reaper within a week. Mr. Dalrymple's farm at Casselton is a sight worth many a mile to see. Four thousand acres of wheat in one body, standing breast high, well filled, and thick and strong as can be, is a comfortable thing to have.

Those who ought to be judges predict that the entire field will average thirty bushels per acre. One hundred and twenty thousand bushels of wheat to market this fall! Talk about you i Black Hills; why they are nowhere compared to that! Mr. Wjl- iams' i ,000 acre field at Mapleton, is ooking equally as well as Mr. Dalrymple's, and the yield all over the country will be immense.

Yesterday afternoon while a thirteen- year-old daughter of Mr. Peter Byers, who lives about two miles and a half west from this city, was engaged in company with an elder brotherln repairing a fence about the farm she observed a colored man coming from the brush close by and at once sought the pony she had ridden from the house. The man, who is described as one who is young and strong, hurried to her and before she could get away caught hold of her clothing, and after much resistence succeeded in pulling her from the saddle.

She had in her hands at the time a hatchet, which, before she was dismounted, she wielded with terrible force, inflicting a severe wound in her persecutor's forehead. After getting her on the ground, he nothin daunted, attempted to accomplish his signs, but was repulsed with all the bri- very of a man used to the battles of life, she heroically defending herself with the weapon at her command and at the time loudly calling tor her brother, who was a few hundred yards distant.

The mining interests of Galena, jes- pecially its silver mines, an imocrt- ant feature of the Hills, and promise to rival the famous Cpmstock lode of Nevada. This sounds like a pretty big assertion, but when I state, on the best authority obtainable, that some of the ore assays over $10,000 to the ton, and that, too, on the surface, or blossom rock, iit is not quite so surprising. The development of a silver district is much slower, but more permanent than a gold district. This fact, then, is a satisfactory argument in favor of the Bare Buttes camp.

Still the mines are being opened up with unusual enterprise. Considerable outside capital is being attrjjct- ed here, and in another yearl no doitbt, these hills and gulches will be musical with the clang and clatter of minfng machinery. The indications now are in favor of this conclusion. The first silver lode of this district was overed on the loth day of October. by the Merrett ancj the birth Jalena is reckoned from that date.

Among he ricl est mines I would mention the Mer- rettja Brothers', No. i and which shbw valuable ore; the Florman, now 200 fleet in, assays $10,000 per toil.

This is esteemed the biggest thing in tht district. The Freeman shjws up about $1,0001 to the ton; the Hardscrabble, Elrefuga, Caridoo, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Gfen. Custer, Shovten and others below the town, yield about the) same as the Freeman. The Yellow Jacket, above town, owned by E. R.

Captain Burton's Discoveries in the i Land of Midian. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Alexandria, informs the mblicthat Capt Burton, the African rayeler, has made a "find" of unusual in- At the request of the Khedive he tas visited'the Land of Midian, the estate region on the eastern side of the 3ulf ofAkabah, the caster most of the two ong and narrow estuaries in which the led sea ends.

Accompanied by M. George Marie, a engineer, Captain Burton Banded Midian on April ad, and in an explo: -ation of some weeks explored a region of fuined towns built of solid masonry, with friade roads, acqueducts five miles long, irtificial lakes, and massive fortresses, all narking a wealthy and powerful people, Their wealth was based on mining operations, and Capt. Burton reports the existence of gold, silver, tin, antimony, and turquois mines. The auriferous region is extensive; indeed, the discoverer believes le has opened up a California, and the Khedive proposes to have the country by European capitalists. It will be remembered that in the Bible, Midian is always discribed as a land full of metals, especially gold, silver, and lead.

It is more than probable that Sol- Dmon's Ophir was situated there, as the small ships in which he imported gold, vory, and peacocks were launched at the head of the Red Sea.

He was captain at Ithis time of the Orient, one of the largest vessels of the French navy, a magnificent ship-of-war, carrying 120 guns and 500 seamen. Of Casablanca's mother we know but very little, save that she was youag and beautiful Corsican lady, and devoutly attached to her son. Owen was her only child, a handsome, manly little fellow, with her beauty in his Sashing eyes and dusky hair.

Here child as he was, Oasabianca soon grew to love his father's dangerous calling, and became a favorite with all 'tm board. He was made midshipman, and at the early age of ten years participated with his father in the battle of the Nile. The ship caught fire during the action. Soon, after, CapUm Oasabian- ca, his father, was wounded by a musket ball.
