[From Philadelphia Papers, July lol
The late seat of war in Southwark remained per.
fectly quiet all Monday night and yesterday morn
ing. About noon there was a rumOr circulated
that the military intended to search the District for
| fire arms and suspected persons This occasioned
a vast excitement, and during the afternoon thou
sands OF people poured into that quarter from every
violence were presented, but the public indigna-
ton against the military manifested itself in vehe-
ment exhibitions of feeling-in animated groups Of
both men and women, diating in inflammaory
tons OF the Catholics, and all disposed TO protect
| the members of that sect. Several persons were
arrested, and bound over to keep the peace
for uttering incendiary remarks The vicinity
as the Head Quarters of the troops, was also
| the scene Of extraordinary excitement all
day. Military Companies arriving from the
country every few minutes, and filing into that rem
devious, and the constant going In and out OF the
numbers already stationed there, presented an OBJ
| ject Of curiosity that drew crowds on crowds Of
| spectators, some of whom were very warm in
speech and indecorous in conduct The action OF
the military on Sunday evening formed the general
subject of dispute, and in one instance severe
personal contest arose out of the question in Of
the stores adjacent No great mischief was done
In other directions many persons during the day
were injured in private quarres about the mob and
the military. One man was taken to the hospital
with his jaw bone broken by being knocked down
and kicked. The Church Of St Philip remained
unmoested in the hands Of the peace police Of 500
The State Arsenal was protected by soldiers from
the interior. Most Of the city troops were at home
seeking repose. During the day there arrived
the First and Second Troops, the Washington
Blues, Washington Grays, Union Grays, Union
Rifles, two of them being cavalry, two artillery
one infantry, and one rifle, companies. Three
and the Washington and the National Grays, also
arrived These latter were only sent Tor at IL
o'clock on Monday night by an extra locomotive,
in four hours mustered one hundred and thirty mus
kets, and by A. M, yesterday, were route for
our city Several incidents occurred during the
engagements of Sunday night that it may not prove
out OF place here to mention. The Holmesburg
Cavalry. (not the City Troop as one paper had
it,) were ordered to capture the field piece with
which, stationed at Third and Christian streets,
the rioters did such terrible execution. AS they
charged, the piece was fired at them, and 1st
dWsgmed hs yhe hs
his Orderly, to seek for Surgeon. Once alone
he was fired upon by small arms in every direction
One shot passed through his hand; two spent balls
struck his body and his horse received sixteen bull
lets in almost moment. Returning 10 the ranks
his Company of horse stumbled over the rope
which the rioters had extended in front of their
piece. Several men were thrown, and private
Lnzley was badly injured, while private Williams
was shot in the bride arm The rope cleared, the
horse arrived in front Of the piece just as it was
about to be'dlscharged again at them. Il burnt prm
ing-the rioters fled precpiately; and the gun was
captured by the Cavalry. Another incident is rather
| amusing. rnmor having reached Head Quarters
that the rioters had taken piece of ordnance from
the military, and at 9th and Queen sts, were doing
mischief with i upon the troops, Gen. Patterson
dered the lst City Troop to go down and retake il
| at all hazards, accompanied by man TO spike it
The Cavalry went-chaIged upon the piece in the
dark-captured it-were Just about to spike it
when a host OF German EXPLANATIONS OF astonish-
ment opened their eyes to the true state OF affairs.
They had charged upon their own friends, in the
shape OF the Germantown Washington Artillery
The mistake was laughed over, and the fasity OF
berger, one of the wounded at Second and Queen
early on Sunday evening, is dead. The Corener
yesterday morning held an inquest upon the body,
and the jury rendered verdict "That the deceas-
ed came to his death from gun shot wound in

while making his escape from the scene of the
riot in Southwark Mr.. Linsenberger was .

.Sdery gentleman killed on the pavement at the
,ner of Second and Queen, and who was taken
to he junction of Moyamensing Road and Second
street, was Isaac Freed, coal merchant. highly
respectable citizen of Spring Garden. Mr. F. was
silent spectator. He has son, brother, ano
four lovely daughters. He was at the Church Of
st. Philip on Sunday morning, and after going
home. and getting his dinner, he went back to the
riot vicinity. His daughters lmplored him to re-
main at home, but he said he would only return
| and look on for a while. He was shot dead through
the breast. and his body lay unrecognized in an al
him he did not know him. An inquest was
held yesterday upon the body Of the deceas-
ed Private Crawford of the Washington Ar
tillery, had his arm amputated at the shoulder at
the hospital The verdic:s OF the Coroner juriesin

inflicted by the military, under command Of Gen
Cadwallader, on the evening Of the 7th Of July,
1874 (" Private Schriver, of the Philadephia
Greys, and Mr. Cummings, book-keeper at the
Mansion House, are among the wounded-so is
Captain Keemle of one OF the merchant vessels
in port, and Mr.. Curtis, citizen. These
persons were standing at the corner of Fourth
and Queen streets about IL o'clock. Mr.. Curtis
was wounded by ball in The calf Of the leg. Mr..
keemle was struck on the right breast with bnl
let, the ballpierced his coat and struck on his silk
neck cloth, from which it glanced and inflicted
flesh wound on the third RIB. The sexton Of ST.
Philips Church, an old man in consumption, was
badly beaten by the mob on Monday. The rioters
fireda feu de joi on Monday afternoon, after the
military left. A number Of the horses Of the mill
tary have been shot.
The killed on both sides is l5-the wounded 30
1t will be remembered by our readers that, on
Monday last, the military were withdrawn from
the scene OF action, by order of the sheriff. and
since that time not single excess Of violence, or
outrage, has been committed by the people. They
have bowed to the supremacy of the laws-and
peace has been preserved, and order restored
through their civil exertions independent of mi
ltary array, which was only calculated to excite
and provoke them 10 violation of the peace. The
civil authorities again reign triumphant, and no ex.
cuse can now be offered for resort to that physical
force, which Is the exclusive attribute Of tyranny,
and not an element Of free country The military
and the people now fully understand the deep laid
plot at St. Philip de Neri's church, and no consi-
deratlon can induce them again to engage in the
shedding OF each others blood.
We might mention in this place without being
invidious towards the military, that portion OF
them, while passing the Sun office on Sabbath
afternoon, were headed by band of musicians,
Another portion Of the same body, while approach
ing Queen street, marched to the tune Of" Rory
O'More." Other companies marchedt to the ground
without music.
