The northern galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1844-1848, 1844-07-17

Pleasanton, who is now among the woun.
ded, is loudly spoken of. These officers
are publicly and boldly charged, by hun.
dreds, with intorication while in the dis.
charge of a high and solemn duty. Let
an investigation be had.
Front street is filed with an excited
people.--The streets are strewed with
fragments of glass, &c. while large spots
of blood NAV be seen in various sections
of the battle ground.
In my honest opinion-and it appears
pretty general--not one drop of blood
would have been shed had the Sheriff
complied with the request of Commits
tee of Natives, who waited upon him at
the Grard Bank at an early hour in the
evening,to keep the military from Queen
street he was distinctly told that blood
would follow did they approach the spot,
and alas, how true the assertion!
| am panied TO say that many of the
soldiers were under the influence of liq.
uor throughout the evening. One man,
seated upon horse in front of Girards
Bank, was so drunk that every body re-
masked it ! He was from the County.
The city is now under the control oft the
civil and military power our streets pre-
sent a warlike appearance, and every
thing is painful in the extreme.
The Irish are united, and act very inn
prudently.
The Philadelphia GazeHe of last eve>
ming furnishes few more particulars,
which we publish without attempting to
correct the discrepancies and rePeiItions
unavoidable from the confused nature of
the accounts we receive.
The battle between the rioters and the
military was kept up until . o'clock this
morning. The military suffered severly;
particularly the Germantown Blues, WASH
ington Artillery of Germantown, LIST State
Fencibles, Wayne Artillery, and Cadwall-
der Greys.
The first four companies were stationed
at Third and Queen street They stood
raking fires up Third, and up and down
Qeen. The two severest discharges were
up Third from Christian. The rioters
had cannon loaded with grape. iron scrap
ings, glass bottles, brick bats, &c. Serg.
Guicr of the Germantown Blues was shot
dead at his cannon; the whole Of the up
per part of his face being torn off. Cor
poral Troutman (of the Blues,) was shot
in the groin-wound mortal-and died
at the hospital. Private Ashworth had
his musket struck by grape,-wound in
the leg.
About half past ten o'clock this morn
ing an Irishman, who had used threaten.
ing language in the street, in front of
St. Philips Church, was arrested and
aiken to the Mayors Office. He was
wounded in the face.
We are happy to learn that Capt. R.
<. Scott, although seriously wounded, is
lot considered by the Surgeon to be in a
dangerous condition. A ball entered his
Jack, near the shoulder blade, which has
lot yet been extracted. but will be as
Don as soon as the operation is deemed
afe.
Gen. Cadwallader, in consequence of
he fearless discharge of his duty, was
ingled out as the object of vengeance.
Ten balls passed through his coat, not
ne of which drew blood His escape
must be accounted remarkable.
Expresses have been sent TO the Presi.-
ent of the United States for troops, and
D Captain Ringold, at Fort McHenry,
Or his Flying Artillery, and TO Captain
)avis at Fort Mifflin.
