American Strikes.
General Carnes' victory has virtually closed the miners' war. The strikers at Buffalo threw the engine of tbe New York express off the rails, but the couplings broke and saved the carriages from injury.
The rebellious miners met General Games' troops again and exchanged shots, ten being killed. The soldiers stood their ground and tbe miners at first retreated, and then yielded, Two hundred were imprisoned in the stockade.
Numbers of the rioters have fled to the mountains for refuge, swearing they will assassinate Carnes. At Coal Creek, 400 prisoners were secured. The churches and railway cars are filled with . them. They will be prosecuted civilly.
The Buffalo strikers threw three goods trains off the rails. General Carnes has imprisoned 250 Nashville citizens for aiding the miners.
Goods trains are now working at Buffalo, and the railway companies claim a victory.

The citizens seized Lindsay, the leader of the Tennessee miners, an d he only saved himself from lynching by turning informer. Thirty-six silver mines in Idaho have suspended operations.
