Show The account of the wretched condition con-dition of thousands ol coal miners in Pennsylvania, published in another place, is a torrible commentary upon, the working of the giant coal monopolies monop-olies of the east. In the worst reports of the squalid poverty of English j minera brought out by parliamentary1 investigation, we remember no Bcenes which excel in their ivid horrors these pictures of life in republican America, the land of plenty and the paradise for the oppressed and downtrodden down-trodden from every clime. Tub New York Sun is authorized on the best authority to contradict a newepaper paragraph to the eflect that Jeflersou Davis in his furthcoming furthcom-ing work will criticize severely the policy and plans of General Joaeph.E. Johnston, as a confederate chieftain, and will charge on him the full re-iponsibility re-iponsibility for the non-pursuit of the federal forces into Washington on occasion of the first battle of Bull Run, in July, 1361. It is quite probable that the acts of General' Johnston may be referred to, bb well aa thosa of other confederate commanders, com-manders, but not as a leading subject of the work, and not in the spirit intimated in-timated by the writer ot the paragraph. |
