materials OF an abolition print in that city,

LEGATION office of the Abolition paper, edited
by James c. Birney, 81 printed by A. Pugh,
at the northeast corner Of Main and Seventh
streets. In few moments the types and
printing materials Of that establishment were
seen dashing out of the windows into the
street. amid the cheers OF the immense mass
Of people below. In a very short time, the
windows Of the building, and every thing in
the office was completely demolished, and
strewed about the streets The printing
press was broken TO pieces, and the largest
piece dragged through several streets, and
then thrown into the river. Thus far eve
nv thing was done in the most systematic
manner, and was taciily countenanced by
very large number Of our most respectable
citizens. At this juncture, however, the
names OF Birney. Donaldson, Colby, &c. (all
leading abolitionists) were shouted by nu-
merous voices and Immediately three or four
hundred Of the mob rushed to Birneys
dwelling The mob were well provided
with tar and feathers. On arriving at Bir-
news house, the abolition editor was deman-

door, and assured the multitude that his IA

had fed from the house few minutes be-
fore the arrival of the mob. and had escaped
through an alley or retired street. TO some
unknown place.
The cry Of "Church Alley" was now re-
sounded through the mob. This is place
where quantity OF black and white men s.
women, of Infamous character reside, hud.
died promiscuously together in five or six
small buildings. In few minutes. the in
mates OF these wretched brothels were turn
ed into the streets, aud the windows of the
buildings, and every article which the bull
dings contained destroyed and scattered to
the four winds of heaven.
Here, by the peaceable interference OF sew
cral citizens. the progress Of the mob was
arrested las was supposed inally) every
body, apparently, promising to dispense and
go home.
An hour or two afterwards, two or three
hundred again collected together, and demo-
lished the windows and all the furniture of
six or seven negro houses Of bad character
on and near the corner Of Columbia and
Elm streets, in the part OF the town common
ly called the swamp. In the course of this
attack, gun was fired from window of
one of the houses, and young man by the
name of kinsey, was severely shot in the
hip and leg with large sized pigeon shot
The wound we believe is not considered
very dangerous, though he was perforated
with twenty odd shot.
The mob having accomplished all they
intended finally dispersed abou, three o'clock
on Sunday morning.
