1 St. Lotus, April 9, 2 f. m A crowd
of strikers formed at the relay depot in
East St Louis at 1.45 o'clock this after
noon and advanced in the direction of
the railroad yards,, to stop work by the
new men employed there. They were
met by a guard of deputies who ordered
them to disperse. Ihe mob refused
and made a rush far the yards, when
the deputies leveled their Winchesters
and fired, killing three of the strikers'.-
5s. 40 p. m. The guards stationed at
the Louisville & Nashville yards, near
Broadway, fired into a crowd of 800
strikers about 2 30 this afternoon. Sii
men and dne woman were shot. Four
of the men were killed and the woman
is supposed to be mortally shot. The
killed are: Pat. DriscollJ an employee of
the water works (not a striker); Chai.

T. E. Thompson. Major Kichmond. shot
in the head and shoulder, will probably

is probably mortally wounded. An nil
known man was shot at the bridge ap
proach. The crowd had made no attack
upon the yards, as at first reported, but
were standing atCohoka bridge, near the
Louisville & Nashville road; jeering at
the guards, when without the slightest
apparent provocation the deputies
leveled their rifles and fired two volleys.
The crowd at once separated, running
in all directions, and the deputies ran
over Cohoka bridge toward the Missis
sippi river bridge, still holding their
rifles and firing to cover their retreat
When it was known by the strikers that
; the guards had fled the former returned
to recover their dead. The crowd after
fiv'w ' la gan to run up Broad wav. shout
ing "To arms! To arms! We will get
guns and return that fire." Women and
children ran out of their houses and met
them in the streets, weeping and wring
ing their hands. After the crowd had
returned to the scene and the excitement
had abated several of the leading
strikers drew their revolvers and swore
that they would drive all the depu
ties out i or tne city, even at the loss
of their own lives. In- the stampede
which followed the first volley from the
rifles of the deputies one man, whose
name is unknown, was forced from the

and an irregular shooting between the
deputies and the assailants began. Prob
ably 100 shots were fired and Williams
was dangerously wounded by a bullet
in the right side and one or .two other
wounds in other portions of his body.
The mob soon after fled. It is reported
that several men were wounded, but if
so, they were taken away by their com
rades. Sheriff Worthen was telegraph

and went over to Argente. Near the
south end of the Iron Mountain railroad
bridge three men were halted and ar
rested. Oan, Charles Stepp, had a
double-barreled gun; another, Cooke,

abusive and was locked up in the bridge
ticket office. A strong guard was placed
about the round-house and shops, and
obtaining an engine and a car Williams
and four prisoners were brought back
to the oity . Everything is quiet this
morning. Williams' condition is pro
nounced critical. He is well known,
very popular and is a son of Col. B. D
Williams, formerly superintendent of

London, April 9. The Times in its
comments npon Gladstone's great speech
says: 4 'In substance the measure pro
poses to place Ireland in a position, not
likef that of a State the American Union,
but'Hke that of Canada,a self-governing
province. The separation is complete
and absolute in principle and the re
strictions which, it is professed, secure
the Sumpremacy of the imperial parlia
ment must in practice be- worthless,
since there is no efficient sanction be
hind them. This is the cardinal point
to which public opinion must be imme
diately directed. Is the nation prepar
ed to give Ireland an independent po
litical existence? We cannot suppose
that there is any room for doubt on that
point. It would be grossly unfair to
assume that the house will consent to : a
second reading of a measure which can-
a VJ a
not posaiDiy survive a debate in com
mittee, i :

the court of general sessions. His arrest
followed as one of the first and direct
results of alderman Waite's oonfession
Richmond lived long at the Brevoort
house when : Waite was owner: of the
hotel,, and the alderman's confession
mkes him out the chief manager of the
''boodle" business, who put Waite up
to all the tricks and jobs by means of
which the franchise steal was accom

mitted to bail in $25,000.
Addison

broker, became his bondsman. The in
dictment bears the name, of Charles B.
Waite as the only witness before the

the crime of bribery. It sets forth that

The facts are j these : Walker's (for
merly Pegram'sjl division led the attack
on Hare's Hill and Fort Stedmanon the
morning of the :25th of March, 1865.
Grimes' .and Walker's divisions and
Gen.! Matt Ransom's and Garnett's
Virginia brigades "bore the brunt of
the battle." !
Gen. J. B. Gordon gave the order
and instructions -for the attack to the
writer in person! Walker's division
was occupying the Confederate trenches
in front of Hare's! Hill. Lewis' brigade
was the right brigade of the division,
and the right of that was immediately in
front of Fort Stcdman, which was dis
tant not swore than 100 yards. Eighty
picked men were selected from Lewis'
brigade and placed under command bf Lt.
lemming, of the sixth Worth Carolina
regiment This 'constituted the "for
lorn hope. forty of these men carried
axes to cut away the abattis in front of
the enemy s. works, liieut. learning
at tuat time was not over seventeen
years of age. He was ordered to advance
as quickly and silently as . possible, and
not to fire a gun; to scale the infantry
works nearest in front, and when inside
of the enemy's works to wheel.skort to
the right and attack rort bteduian in
flank and rear. This order was executed
perfectly. Not a shot was fired on either
side until after Lieut. Flemming's men
were! in Fort Stedman. Then only one

was closely followed by;. Walker's divi-
sionj headed by Lewis' brigade, march
ing by the flank. As soon as we were
well inside the enemy s worts, i order
ed Col. Ham Jones, commanding the
57th N. C, to take a fort of the enemy
situated about 1 mile to the rear ot
Fort Stedman. This he did in gallant
stylel He was ! in the fort only a few
moments when Hartfanft's division of
reserves, of about 15,000 men, charged
his regiment. - He was forced back to
the line of Walker's division. (Col.
Jones was wounded in this charge.)
W alker's division was thrown forward
and drove the: enemy's division as far
M jt was safe to advance. Very soon

Grimes' division I came up on our rigpit,
and Ransom's and Garnett's brigade on
our left Pickett's division of 18,00
men had been i ordered to be on hand
and j advance at the same tune as
Grimes' division but unfortunately that
division did hot make its appearance
on the field. For nearlv three hours
tlisjnoble band, nearly all North Caro
linians, stood a perfect shower of shot
and shell and minie balls, awaiting the
coming of Pickett's division, that we
might change j front to the right and

Gen. Gordon to display a flag of truce,

that the dead and wounded of the Con-
federates in their lines be returned to

wounded. The dead and the very se

lines of the enemy by a detail trom

lines by a detail from the Confederates.
More than 2,700 men were lost in this
action on our side, killed, wounded and

"In this battle, as in every other ot
the many battles in which he was en
gaged, Gen. Grimes acted with conspic

Grimes, by bis nrm but kind discipline
of his division in camp and on the
march, by his devotion to duty and
extraordinary skill in management and
gallantry on the battlefield, is entitled
to rank among the very best ot his rank
