"A gentleman Of South-street came to the re-
ice Office yesterday afternoon, and stated under
oath that for several hours previously, large
lumber OF seanen had embodied and been pass
lng up and down the streets and wharres, gong
IN board of vessels about to procsed to sea, and
~ force and violence carrying off the chests and
;Iothing Of the sea,nen who had shipped on board,
compelling the seamen Of those vessels to leave
md 90 with them. In this way they entered the
origs Trio, Lawrence, H. Adams, and Caroline
!yng at piers Nos. and 10 East River, and
apon the last named vesse! they assaulted and
ocat the captain and crew, hurling stones and
orekbats, SC, at them They also stopped the
ship Rochester from gong to sea, and proceeded
TO tie North River side, to carry on thar opera
tons .hesc. They, however, returned 10 the East
side and resumed there their acts Of violence
The cause Of this outrage, they state, IS thatthey
nave turned out for So a month, while the
sailors on those vessels they had prevented going
to sea, had shipped for $50 month, About 30
Police officers and Mr.. Osborn the clerk, were
sent down to qael the not and to dispcrsc Or ar
rest the rioters, which from their number was
rather difficult task. The result Of the can.-
oaign will appear hereafter.
Ne understand that the rioters went also 10
he British bark .agitator, where, by using con-
siderable violence, they forced the crew ashore
with their chests. They were ROT aware she vas
i British vessel at the time, as they state, or no
violence would have occurred. On visiting the
brig Carolina, Of Palermo, most of the crew were
aloft, but ran as soon as possible and shut them
selves in the hold The captain and mate were
the only ones on deck, and had nar!ine-spikcs in
their hands; when the rioters came along s!dc,
the captain ordered them not to come on board,
d, which they Became incensed and rushed on
board armed with stones clubs, and whatever
they could get. The mate was severely injured,
and the captain slightly. They stove in the cabla
doors and threw stones, &c. into the cabin. do
iGg considerable damage, and then left. As soon
as they ascertaincd she was foreign vessel, they
said if they had been spoken to properly they
would have left on asccr;aining the facts about
the wages. This was the last OF their doings
yesterday. We understand they are going the
rounds again to-day. They will probably find
opposition more cfcctual than ii was Yesterday.
If oar Police can do nothing to protect them the
officers and men on board the vessels must pro-
tect themselves.
Since writing the above we learn that the Ro-
chester has escaped the grasp Of the rioters and
been towed to sea by a steamb Ct.
REPUTATION IN INDlANA-We are glad to sec
that in the canvass for Governor in Indiana, Coy.
BIGGER takes high and honorable ground in "a
vor Of paying the heavy public debt and wlplng
from the State the foul stain Of reputation. True
we should be still more rejoiccd to see active and
efficient measures taken to pay the debt instead
Of talking about it; and we trust the people Of
the State will not be induced to think OF post
poning It's payment until Cost ;ohnson's plan may
be adopted We would rather see them rely upon
their own boundleSs resources upon the wealth
of the State, which is amply sufficient at any
time they choose, to blot out u debt far greater
than that which hangs upon them now. The
following is an extract upon this subject from
speech OF Gov. Bigger at Richmond:
