The contractors have in consequence been ser.
we'd with threatening letters. A few days since
the dwelling of one ofthe contractors was set
on fire, and was with difficulty saved from des-
truction.
The laborers assemble nightly in bodies and
commit all kinds of depredalious, such as burn
ing of stables and out houses. breaking down
fences. robbing hen roosis, &c.

they were fired upon with guns and pistols by
the officers, they did not desis from their work
of destruction till the house was pulled down.
