From the PhiL@Ieg,hia Herald, .7ug. -.
We extremely regret that the rioting
IN our city was again renewed on We'd
nesday night last. We give the ac-
count below from the Intelligcncer of
yesterday afternoon, in addition To
which We have received some particu-
lars from gentleman .1siding in the
neighborhood. II appears from his
statement, that BATHS is black boxing
master, and has for long time past
kept BARRIERS shop as a cloak to his o.
thcr business. His House is a resort
for coIored blarklegs, some of whom We
understand board there, and also some
whites have occasionally lodged un-
der his roof. Our informant also states
that at this time BATHS has two white
women living with him as his rireS.
II appears that early in the evening
BATHS quarrelled with white man and
beat hun so severely that he was obliy-
ed TO be conveyed TO the hospital. The
rioters hearing this, gathered in the night
and completely destroyed BATHS prop
crty.
IL was currently reported last night.
that the man taken to the hospital was
dead.
MORE RlOTS.-Tt seems a settled
matter that our city is 10 he ycxcd and

II seems that an alteration had arisen
between BATHS and some white person
IN his shop, which was ended by b.
striking HIM on the head with some
heavy implement, and with such force
as to fracture his skull. The victim
was taken To the hospital ON a scttcc.
and tlFre was very little prospect OF
