all who are in arrears one year. Subscri-
bers wishing to avoid the expense of posi-
age, will please make payment before that
time.

A request was also sent to Governors Island
to the same effect. Meantime, several hundred
patriotic citizens, being apprehenslve that the
rioters would obtain possession OF the Arsenal,
and employ the arms against the peace OF the
city and the safety of its inhabitants, assumed
the responsibility of the Arsenal, to prevent the
arms being taken by the mob and to protect
them from destruction The rioters immediate
ly surrounded the Arsenal in large numbers;
but the Wings kept possession until relieved by
the Mayor and his posse.
Having ordered out a strong detachment OF
our city infantry under the orders of Gen. Sand
ford. with two squadrons of cavalry, counter
request was dispatched to Governors Island, so

unexpected approach Of foe in times of war.
The orders were Immediately from Gen. Nor

arsenal. But after these demonstrations, the
courage of the mob evidently began to ooze out

Jackson printing offices; and some of our CO.
temporaries took the precaution to arm with

The Infantry were chiefly quartered for the
night at the arsenal-reposing upon their arms
and the Cavalry at the City of Hall. small
detachment was stationed in the Merchants
Exchange, to be ready to act if the bank or
printing offices should assailed. But happily
there has been no further disturbances.
