The New York Herald of the 25th inst., remarks :—
They rather reproach us on the other side of the Atlantic for our big things— tendency to grandeur in our conceptions, the consequence, perhaps, of the posses~ sion of big things. Because we have got the biggest waterfali at Niagara,and the biggest cave in Kentucky, the biggest prairies, tne biggest rivers and the biggest hotels they laugh and regard us as only a gigantic toadstool that fancies itself a mushroom, But they will have to acknows ledge now that we have one more thing on a scale so large that there would hardly be room for it in Europe. This is we support
ithe bigge.i strike that ever was—one that covers
30r@ space, involves more daggers and proves the possession of more folly than any strike ever before made.
> > o__-____—_
—Txe New York Herald of the 24th con- tains full particulars of the great.gtrike and riot. These particulars it thus sums marizes :—
The strik of rajlroad employes which be- gan on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad a week ago yésterday, and which first showed its head as a movement bent on gaining its ends by iorce at Martinsburg, W. Va., on Wednesday, has nOw assumed such wide and deplorable proportions as to threaten a national calamity, On Friday the bloody event at Baltimore, with its long list of casualities, gave @ terrible shock to the community. The spread of the strike to the Pennsylvania Railroed next concentrat~ ed attention at Pittsburg, and on Saturday and Sunday the scenes of fury,intemperance and lawlesshess, whose fruits’ were hom- icide, arson and wholesale robbery, startled our citizens more than they had been in tifteen years. Meanwhile the sirike was
spreading, and everywhe.e that the hands
were quitting work the same spirit wes manifesting itself. Freight trains were stopped, engines seized and run into round houses or left on the tracks. The Western division of Erie, the Reading, the Lake Shore, Fort Wayne and Chicago, Ohio and Mississippi; Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin- nati and Indianapolis; Vandalia and many branch lines quickly followed the strik- ers of West Virginia. It has been a universal demand for a restoration of the old rate of wages, a refusal and then a strike. Through the great belt of Middle States from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi the movement has spread, and even the New York Central seems about to join, in spite of the hopefulness of Mr. Vanderbilt, The Union Pacific and Cen- tral Pacific have only prevented a strike by rescinding the reduction of wages. The number of railroad employes already on strike is estimated at 17,000 men. A gen. eral foreboding of continued disasters to life and property, not to speak of the cer- tain injury t» our already crippled trade, occupies the public mind. Up to yester- day nearly one hundred lives had been lost and over two hundred persons had been injured. The loss to property is set down in Pittsburg alone at over five millions.
The New York Herald of the 25th con- tinues : —
A day of painful anxiety has passed over the country without, up to the hour oj going to press, any addition being made to the chapters of horrors which the great railroad strike has been furnishing daily ‘since last Friday. The strike, however, has been extending, and the elements of danger have increased in many parts of the country without any positive outbreak, The matters of nearest moment to New Yorkers have been the strike of the men on the New York Central and on the Dele» ware, Lackawanna and Western. At Chis cago the men already on strike forced others to join them, and even brought compuision to bear upon men of otber trades, This, one of the most pregnant sources of evil in the present aspect of af- fairs, has been repeated elsewhere. in Pittsburg the stoppage of the freight lines has already left the iron mills short of iron and coal, A very few days will suffice to bring this condition home to thouands al! over the country enaged in others busi- nesses, and, by a sudden rise of prices of necessaries of life, add materially to the present sufferings of the poor. The strike against the rich soon works round to the detriment of the class that starts it,
The energetic efforts of the general gov- ernment to provide troops for the protec tion of the threatened property has been markedly successful in Philadelphia and at Other points, but it is evident that in many places the mob has not that dread of the militia which would be wholesome for them, and this leads to the fear that more danger is ahead. The National Guards- men of New York have responded with alacrity to the Governor’s call. The splen- did Ninth Regiment reached Albany yes- terday, and the other regiments spent Monday night and yesterday at their arm-

—Two interesting tables are annexed by Baron Henry de Worms to the fifth edition of his work, ‘ England’s Policy in the Kast,”’ only recently published. The first gives the population, trade, financial, iail- itary, and naval resources of each power concerned in the Eastern question. The second presents the various creeds and number of each of the nationalities in the Turkish Empire. Beside the 86,586,000 inhabitants in Russia, 35,904,435 in Aus- tria-Hungary, and 28,500,000 in Turkey, etc., Montenegro locks sirangely insignifi- cant with a population of 19/)000. the revenue of this little State is put at $25,- 000, and its fighting capacity at 26,- 000 men, which is equivalent to say» ing that all male Montenegrins of full age are soldiers, The Russian debt is given as $1,504.000,000, the Turkish at #1,~ 00,000,000. The total Russian army he gives as 1,789,571 men; the Turkish 629,- 736: the German, 1,248,834; the French, 1,118,525; the Austrian, 964.028; the Ita~ lian, 871,871; the English 655,808, all of which is, in fact, a great exaggeration. For instance, there is a force of only 183,- 342 in the English army, and of these 62,, 849 are in Jndia, and 21,172 in the colonies. In number of iron-clade, France comes first wich 63, and 366 other vessels of war. Eng- land has 61 iron-clads, and 449 other ves- sels of war; Tussia has 31 iron-clads, and 124 other vessels of war; Turkey has 21 iron-clads, Italy 17, Austria 12, Germany 5, and Greece 1.
In the whole Ottoman Euspire, including now the tributary States, there are 13,QU0U- 000 Turks, 1,500,000 Arabs, 603,000 Tur- comans, T'artars and Gypsies, 122 000 Roux mans, 2,000 000 Greeks, 3,027 065 Servians, and 4,800,000 Bulgarians profess the Mos hammedan religion. There are 450,000 “ervian Roman Catholics, and 109,000 Als banians of the same faith. With the tri- butaries the total population of Turkey is 52 092,068, but 10,700,000 Nubians, 5 000,~ 000 Egyptians, as well as Servians, etc., go to make up this rather deceptive total.
