LATEST FROM PHILADELPHIA.


PHILADELPHIA, July 9-5 pm.
quiet Is restored in the insurgent district Of
Southwark, the military having been Withdrawn,
and the Church left in possession Of the peace po-
llce The exultation Of the populace is very great
and denunciations against the military are loud and
violent. IL will be recoected that with the ex-
cepton OF the hrst discharge OF musketry al the
corner OF Queen and Second streets, where an at
tempt was made to wrest the sword from Captain
Hill, the troops were invariably fired upon before
they attempted to return the salute. Large bodies
OF men armed and dragging cannon from one
street to another made murderous and cowardly
assaults upon exposed men, and yet they are blamed
for daring to defend themselves, and for not stand
ing quietly to be moved down like dogs.
About the imprudence, nay, If you like, the afro
city OF the rs fre, have nothing 10 say II il were
unnecessary, the men who fired could be punished,
but certainly all who engaged in the attempt sub
sequently TO drive the troops from the ground,
were traitors and murderers, and all who uphold
or excuse the act are sharers OF the crime. The
quletness winch now reigns around US is only on
account OF the triumph Of the mob. They have
gained a victory over the law and its constituted
protectors, and satisfied Should another out
break occur, the military OF the city and county
will refuse to turn out, and then let the civil force
prevent the destruction OF property if it can
large pumber OF troops from the country have ar
rived in town. II was rumored that Gov. Porter in
tended TO march at their head through Southwark
"
vent It by force Of arms. II is said they have ii-
teen pieces OF artillery and thousand stand OF
arms TO carry their determination into Effect
None OF the press oi our city dare TO speak Of this
ilagrant disregard OF authority in the language il
deserves, aud the consequence is that we have
| vicious and depraved public spirit. The mob is
now supreme, and Southwark and her citizens
have virtually declared themselves independent OF
| the State OF Pennsylvania Among the people OF
the city better state OF opinion begins TO prevail
and this morning voices begin to be raised in fa-
vor OF the devoted band of our fellow citizens
who exposed themselves TO midnight assassination
| IN their efforts TO sustain the laws | do not think
the troops Will stir from their quarters the Girard
Bank unless there be necessity for their services
What effect this revolt will have upon the Native
American party II is impossible TO say. vast
majority OF the soldiers belonged to that party but
| the firing upon them, and its subsequent juslfca-
ton by the native organs, may change the tune and
enlist about 1000 Of our most active and intelligent
young men in violent and determined opposition.
| Burton has closed the Arch Street Theatre in
| consequence OF the excitement breaking up his
| business. The real drama enacted in our streets
has destroyed all taste for the comparatively tame
| exhibitions Of the theatre. And, indeed, all !bus
| ness Is at stand. Monied men have already be-
gan to transfer their capital to other cities, and
everything betokens the utter prostraton of Phila-
delphia interests.
| We have just heard from Washington that there
has been cabinet counsel at which il was deter
| mined to send Major Ringod's u. s. Flying Aril-
lery now at Baltimore To this city. There is
great crowd OF people in front of Gen Pate rson y
quarters, the Girard Bank, in consequence OF the
presence of the troops.
