RankRiots-in the West.

We annex the following additional particulars, de-
scribing the shnplaster riots in Cincinnati, and the
bank explosions in Ohio, received by the last mails
at this office.
Every where this lawess violence is deprecated,
WHILE at the same time the shinpaster fnanciers,
who prey upon the community ARE justly execrated.
In this city an attempt has been made TO create
great shinplaster banking institution in the office of
the "New York Sum-" corner of Nassau and Spruce
streets, by Moses Y. Beach, and one Morgan, from
Florida-but we believe their shiuplas,ers, both
Jacksonville and Ulster, are very properly repuda-
ted byihis intelligent and honorable community
Thisis as it should be-and if Cincinnati had been
warned in time, she would not have had to bear the
disgrace of mobs, riots and outbreaks to correct the
evils Of bad currency. Read and ponder.

The SHIN PLASTER AND PLUMBER MoB.-It is
very natural that some msstatements, and false
ports should get about, respecting the events of day
before yesterday JAIL was conuson-every body was
excited-and no one person could be cognisant OF
all that was going on at the same time. We kept
on foot through great part of the day, frequently
changing position, and believe that the account
of the proceedings Of the mob and the destruction
Of property which we gave yesterday, is very near
the truth.
In one part of that account we stated that the
books of the Miami Exporting Company Bank were
DESTROYED. This is not the fact. They were pre-
served and will show in what manner the accounts
of that institution have been kept.
report is in circulation to-day, that the citizens
Guards discharged their guns without orders from
the proper authority. This we believe to be lncor-
rect We know that they wereordered by the She
riff to force their way into the crowd, and that this
officer was with them while they had possession OF
the Miami Banking House; and we have good au-
thoriiy for believing that he was not so remlss IN his
duty as not to order them to fire when it became

II was stated in one OF the morning papers yester
day, that Captain Mitchell fired of his pistol, and
wounded man severely This was not So Though
p4uch pressed upon and provoked, he held his fire
through all, and for some time prevented the gallant
little squad under his command from dscharging
thers. He is perfectly willing, however, we are
authorized to say, to take the responsibility OF every
shot that was tired
Another statement which has appeared in print,
and which was made upon the ground before the
attack upon the Exchange Bank, is, that the notes
of the late West Union Bank were redeemed at is
counter. We know nothing about this, but have
been requested to make positive denial of the
statements Mr.. Bates was prepared to redeem the
issues of the Exchange Bank, with bankable funds
and SPECIE but refused to redeem the West Union
notes.
1t is believed now, that the chief part of the
money stolen, was procured from the vault If the
Miami Exporting Company. What its amount is,
cannot yet be surmlsed, but II ls supposed to be
large. Nearly $3.50 were recovered from four OF
the plunderers, who were arrested The Cincinnati
Bank was found pretty empty, the Exchange Bank
is thought to havo lost but little, and Lougee's Brok
erage had been rfed of its valuabes before the mob
effected an entrance of it. Should it be found, on
the examination which will seon be made, that the
Miami Exporting Company has not lost 80 much as
was apprehended the holders of It's notes will not
fare near 30 badly as is feared.
Altogether, we have heard of five persons who
shot: in the lower part OF the leg, one in
the thigh, one in the side, one in the cheek, and
one near the temple. Only the first was much in
jured. He had his leg broken. This would seem
to show that blank cartridges were not used as has
been said.
There were, in ALL five arrests made during the
height Of the mob, and two about its close. Yes
terday, none.
The CATION BANK-ANeTHER Blow UP From
the West, East, North, and South, comes the news
that these rotten, riotng paper shops are going
down to their lowest depths Of degradation.
Fer the third time has the Canton Bank given up
the ghost. We learn by gentleman Just from that
place, that it is total wreck II promises to re-
