under Capt. Heinle, and a detachment of regulars,
under
Capt. Pranklin, soon afterwards arrived,
with instructions to take the place at all hazards.
The police made the first attack, and with such
energy that the rioters in turn were soon routed,
severely whipped. The police were very courageous.
After the rioters had withdrawn they rallied again,
and assaulted the regulars with stores, hooting at
them at the same time. Cap.'. Franklin thereupongave the order to the, and 15 were killed and
wountled. The crowd dispersed as if by magic, and
the regulars remained masters of the field.
was some fighting in the 6:h avenue between the
mob and the 20th precinct police,aide; by a de-
tachment of regulars under Capt. Putnam. The
rioters Were everywhere worsted, although no shots
were fired by the soldiers. The regulars could
scatter the mob by charging bayonets, the rioters
not waiting to receive the cold steel. It was reported
at the police headquarters late yesterday afternoon
that Col. O'Brien, after being severely beaten by
the crowd in 2d avenue, had been hung to a lamp-
post. In 11th avenue, between 40th and 47th
street, fighting occurred, the police were every-
where repelled, and the mob had everything their
own way. The Western Hotel, the Western
Drove Yards, and several other buildings in that
vicinity were burnt down. The women assisted
the male rioters in these acts of destruction. The
police have seized all the stages on Broadway and
the Bowery, and are using them for the transporta-
tion cif men to threatened points. All the enrolling
officers in Captain Mannierre's (Provost-Marshal)
office have been sworn in as special policemen. The
mayor has issued the following proclamation, pro-
hibiting the sale of arms and ammunition. It has
been universally complied with :

" Mayor's-office, New York, July 14.
" It is highly important to the peace of the city and the
suppression of the existing riot that the ricters shall not be
allowed to furnish themselves with arms and ammunition,
and I do hereby accordingly enjoin upon all persons who
keep arms and ammunition for sale that they will at once
cease selling to privat e persons, and close their places of
business. 66 GEORGE OPDYKE, Mayor."

At 5 o'clock the mob attacked a building in 29th street,
supposed by them to belong to Horace Greeley. The police
happened fortunately to be near at hand, and drove away
the rioters after a brief engagement. Two policemen wese
slightly wounded by pistol shots from persons in the crowd.
In the 19th ward over 300 citizens have enrolled themselves
as a vigilant committee, and in several instances whipped
small knots of rioters. A fire which had been set in the
coloured house at the foot of 57th street, East River, was
put out by this committee. They have offered their services
at the Central. office, and been accepted as special policemen.
In the 18th ward a large mob roved through the streets last
evening, firing houses and robbing stores. In one case they
set fire to a store, but afterwards agreed to extinguish it on
payment of 100 dols. by the owner. A detachment of soldiers
from Port Hamilton and another from Fort Schuyler re-
ported at the Central-office last night, and were immedi-
ately sent out to points where the mob were at work. It
was reported that the 7th regiment N. G., had been ordered
back from Pennsylvania, and would be in the city to-day.
A number of regiments from the interior of the State were
expected to arrive during the night. The whole number of
persons killed or wounded in the second avenue fight during
the afternoon is thus far ascertained to be 41. It is thought,
however, that there are others who were taken away by
their friends. The number above given is that of persons
who were in the hospitals and station-houses last night.
Daring the night reports poured in at the Central office of
riotous proceedings in different parts of the city. Police and
military were despatched in the directions indicated with
great promptness, and short work made of rioters in every
direction, Several hundred citizens who were sworn in
yesterday as special policemen rendered valuable service.
The whole number of soldiers who will be in town to-day
will be not far from 5,000, and it is hoped that with them
the rioters may be effectually squelched within the next 24
hours. Last evening, about 9 o'clock, as a party of sol-
diers were marching up Broadway, they were followed by
a crowd, groaning and yelling at them. The soldiers bore '
the insults patiently, but when opposite the City-hall a
squad of police then stationed in the park hearing the noise
rushed atter the crowd and pitched into them, using their
clubs freely. A number of rioters were considerably da-
maged. Late intelligence froni the mob in 11th avenue re-
ports that they had burned the ferry-house at the foot of
42d street, and several other houses in that neighbourhood,

[FROM ANOTHER REPORTER.]

" The riot which commenced on Monday was continued
yesterday with increased violence, and at an early hour
crowds began to assemble in various parts of the city. At
half-past 10 o'clock word was brought to the police head-
quarters that buildings were being torn down in the 7th
ward, and a body of United States Regulars from Gover-
nor's Island were sent to disperse them. In Delaney-street
they encountered a large body and fired into it, killing and
wounding several, after which the rioters scattered. The
troops then dispersed a crowd in Pitt-street, killing five
persons, among whom were two children. Several shots
were fired at the troops, but without effect. At half-past 11
o'clock Col. O'Brien, with about 250 of the James T. Brady
Guard, appeared at police bead-quarters. They had just re-
turned from dispersing a crowd in 34th-street, near 3d
avenue, some of whom were killed. This crowd had at half-
past 3 in the morning fired a shed, a turning and planing
mill, and several other buildings in 127th and 129th streets.
They then proceeded to 34th-street, near 3d avenue, where
they took possession of a large tenement house and threw
down stones upon the troops, The latter, aided by a body
of police, rushed in and drove the rioters out of the win-
dows, some being killed and others wounded. The mob
made an effort to rally, but were charged upon by the
troops and then fled. At twelve o'clock a large crowd
proceeded to Leonard-street for the purpose of burn-
ing negroes' dwellings, but the police scattered them. In
17th street, near avenue, they set a school-house on fire,
but the police extinguished it and set the rioters flying.
Previous to this another mob attacked some buildings on
and near the corner of Ridge and Delaney streets, but were
dispersed by a body of marines, who killed a man named
Patrick Doherty, and fatally wounded another named
Donald and a boy named James Stephen. In 34th
street a body of police were attacked with a volley of bricks
and stones, which they met with their clubs, and scat-
tered the rioters. From the top of the building occu-
pied by Riley's porter-house showers of stones were hurled
upon the police, but the latter burst open the doors, rushed
into and through the house, and clubbed the rioters unmer-
cifully- The military then appeared and fired into the
crowd, six or seven of whom were killed and wounded. It
is also stated that a woman and two children were killed.
At Bastell's gun store a body of rioters armed themselves,
they having broken into it, and then proceeded to the 19th
ward station-house, where they scattered such policemen
t
as were present. The 23d precinct station-house was
patrole
visited and demolished. During most of the dayoes,and

of the lst precinct. party of about 300 police, and a
large number of citizens
who had volunteered their aid,
made an attack at half-past 2p m, upon a large body of
rioters who had entered the Union Steam Works, corner of
2d avenue and 22d street, for the purpose of seizing the
muskets
ed there from the arsenal which was destroyed
on Monday (Anti
a few minutes 24 of the rioters lay bleeding
upon the
floor and side walk. This scattered the crowd,
but an hour or more afterwards they assembled in larger
numbers, stormed the building, drove out the police, and
took possession. A detachment of regulars under Captain
Franklin were sent for, and soon arrived. These, with the
police, drove the crowd from the building and before them.
The military faced about, fired, and killed and wounded
about 20. The streets were then cleared, and about 200
carbines, which had been recovered from the mob, were
taken to headquarters. During the afternoon the police
and troops had encounters with the rioters in sth avenue,
11th avenue, and 6th avenue, but as far as could be learnt
no lives were lost, though many were wounded by police-
men's clubs. In almost every encounter women were ob-
served urging on the rioters. As we go to press a fire is
raging, apparently in the 11th ward. At the hour of writ-
ing (half-past two), we are in receipt of a notice from the
Central P olice-qffice, saying that the police have control of
the city."

Governor Seymour has issued the following proclama.
tion, declaring the city to be in a state of insurrection :7

" Whereas it is manifest that combinations for forcible
resistance to the laws of the State of New York and the
execution of civil and criminal process exist in the city and
county of New York, whereby the peace and safety. of the
city, and the lives and property of its inhabitants, are en-
dangered ; and
" Whereas the power of the said city and county has seen
