The police made the first attack, ' and with such
energy that the riotea, in turn were soon routed,
severely whipped. The police were very courageous,
After the rioters had withdrawn the rallied again,
~
and assaulted the regulars with stoned, ;;Poting at
them at the same time. Capt. Franklin therett non
gave the order to fire, and 15 were killed and
wounded. The crowd dispersed as if by magic, and
the regulars remained masters of the field. There
was some fighting in the 6th avenue between the
mob and the 20th precinct police, aided 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 bayoets, the rioters
not waiting to receive the cold steel. n
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 of men to threatened points. Allthe 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 :

Tip
said city and county to maintain the L
execute the legal process of its officers;
". Whereas application has been made to nst,..i
of the city and county of New: York, to declare threilaid
anU county to be-tn- a -statePof -insurreetion; now, there-
fore, I, Horatio Seymour, Governor of the State of New
York, and Commander-in-Chief of the forces of the same,
do in its name, and by its authority,issue this proclamation,
in accordance with the statute in such cases made and
provided, and do ;hereby declare the city and county of
New York to be in a state of insurrection, and ghTo
notice to all persons that the means provided by the
laws' Of this State for the Maintenance of law and order
will be employed to whatever degree may be necessary, trail
~that all persons who shall, after the publication of this pro-
clamation, resist, or aid or as9ist in resisting, any force
ordered out by the Governor to quell or suppress such in-
surrection, will render themselves liable to the penalties
prescribed by law. " HORATIO SEYMOUR.:

"New York, July 14."

• NEW Willi:, July 14, 4 p.m.
The Mayor has issued the following Proclamation :

"Mayor's-office, New York, July 15.

" ' 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. " GEORGE OPDYRE, 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 were
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 soldie'rs
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.
During 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 today
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 after the crowd and pitched into them, using their
clubs freely. A number of rioters were considerably da-
maged. Late intelligence from 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.

"PROCLAMATION.

nounce. to .you that the riot which Iris for two days dis-
graced our city has been in good measure subjected to the
control of the public nizlhof It wanyd not: have inter-
rupted your peace for -o. day but for the temporary absence
of all our organised local militia. What now remains of
the mob are fragirie-uts prowling about for plunder, and for
the purpose of meeting these, and saving' thenfilitary and
police from the exhaustion of continued movements, you
are invited to form voluntary associations, under competent
leaders, to patrol and guard your various dist-nets. With
these exceptions you are again reqUested' tci resume your
accustomed daily avocations. This is as necessary to your
personal security as to the peace of the city.

while in the absence of the police on special duty the thieves
have taken possession of some of the deserted streets. The
riot, indeed, appears to have degenerated into a riot of
thieves, and ceases to exist .as to Conscription Riot. These
thieves pillage all alike.

The Evening Express says—" The riot may be said to be
about over. The police, either regular or special, will, in
all probability, be re-established in their powers in all
parts of the city. The great riot now, as we write-2 p.m.
—seems to be driven out of the city proper, and limited to
the suburbs Yorkville, Harlem, Manhattanville, &c.
Five regiments are under orders to return to New York.
The Court of Aldermen have passed the resolution ap-
propriating 2,500,000 dollars to exempt poor men, and di-
recting the counsel to the corporation to take legal mea-
sures to test the constitutionality of the act. The Court of
Common Council have concurred in the resolution.

THE DRAUGHT IN PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, July 15.

[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,
having broken into it, and then proceeded to the 19th
ward station-house, where they scattered such
as were present. The 23d precinct station-house
visited and demolished. During most of the

large number of citizens who had volunteered their 'aid,
made an attack at half-past 2 p 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 carried there from the arsenal which was destroyed
on Monday. In 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 buildiag 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 wore 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 tivo), we-are in receipt of a notice from the
Central Police-office, 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 :1.-.
