s heading it was said in yesterday's paper that a number of persons at Colonel Dunean's lithographic establishment had, on Thursday, "hoping to increase their profits," refused to work--i.e., struck for higher wages. This was an error, which Colonel Duncan's communication will correctly explain. The parties could not have wanted higher wages, many of them, after loafing one or two days during the week, as we learn, receiving from $105 to $115 per week for their labor. Fellows that, in such tihand, wishing to procure cheaper labor, and thereby learn the expenses of the Government, I have sent to Europe and other places for a large number of printers, a portion of whom are expected daily. Gen. Winder arrested my printers, and put them in jail, for not complying with their contract. Meanwhile I have taken eight apprentices, and will take others from 17 to 18 years of age. Respectfully, &c., B. Duncan. P. S — The men consented (1) to go to work yesterday and were released.
