the ground and the efforts to prevent disturbance

sons have had piece of cannon out on the CON-
mons all the afternoon practising the loading and
firing motions 80 as to render themselves expert in
its use, and Two or three heavy discharges renewed
the alarm Of some people and led them to believe
that another fatal outbreak had occurred. Their
fears, however, were dispelled by the peaceful re-
ports from the scene Of the late conflict.

[From Philadelphia u 8. Gazette, July OIL
The report OF the proceedings and state OF things
in the district of Southwar ark, will be found in ano.
ther column AS we understand the matter, the
vii Posse" for the military that were on duty in
and near Queen street. Yesterday morning. we
understand that committees were sent from the
meeting OF persons In arms against the authorities,
to say that IT the military were Withdrawn, the
rioters would dispense. Of course, proposition
thus presented could not be considered. But, af-
forwards, the authorities of the district signfed
their belief that the peace could be preserved by
the civil posse, better than by the military; and
this application and assurance were subsequently
backed by the Aldermen Of Southwark. 1t then
seemed proper In the sheriff to consider the mat
ter, and.we have heard that the Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas, or some OF them Gin.
GLIDING the President Judge), concurred in the
opinion that the Sheriff would be justified in sub
stlt1tng the civil posse for the military; We
ought TO state what, perhaps, most who think much
about such things would know as well as we do,
that no part OF the city or districts has been under
military rule or law. The detachments of mill.
lice of the High Sheriff, called out at his request
and Withdrawn by his direction. The men, OF
course were under the immediate command oil
their officers, at the head of whom was Major Gen.
Fate rson, and his concurrence in the measure OF
Withdrawing the troops, appears ia tbs correspond
ence. so tar as we can Judge from representa-
tlons by the Reporters Of the public PRESS and by
many who witnessed much Of the melancholy
scenes OF Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday,
that the soldery In general conducted themselves
under the trying circumstances with the GOODNESS
of veterans
We do not understand that the military are to
be dismissed; they are only Withdrawn to the rer-
devious, tor rest and refreshment, to be called into
immediate action, should any occurrence render
their services necessary in the city districts. The
citizens Of the several wards are called upon to
volunteer their services Tor the preservation Of
peace in the city. We will not believe that they
will neglect such an appeal. II is all important that
Philadelphia should be able to sustain herself
against rioters, however assembled, and no way
can be less Objectionable, and, if properly direct
ed, more efficient, than this proposed by the Coun-
ellis. The question IS not one Of personal advan-
tage, nor Of party consideration. That for which
and property is endangered; and it would be dis
grace, II an adequate force could not be gathered
from among ourselves, to take of curse Ives -
We consider The military as part of the police Of
the civil officers, as part of the people; and the
same laws that govern one class govern another
We do not know that there is now anything to fear
Tor the city; but We most earnestly call upon our
citizens 10 sustain, by their presence when they
can, the peace Of the ciy-but a, all events, to en-
courage and support those to whom is committed
the preservation Of law and order. The Governor
of the Commonwealth arrived in this city yester-
warded at midnight previous He proceeded at
once to the consideration Of the position Of affairs.
It is impossible to say, but for this movement,
been the consequences. Ii is certain that war of
determination was meant TO have been waged upon
the military. No less than three thousand people
Eve really believe) were under arms in the district
They had, beyond doubt, at least six cannons; and
there was not store in the district from which all
the ammunition had not been purchased during the
morning. An express also left the city early yes
terday morning for Washington TO request permits
sion OF the President TO call out u. S. troops The
flying artillery, Captain Ringgold, now aiIFort Nc
Henry, and the U. s. troops at Fort Mifnn have
been called upon to come 10 the assistance of the
authorities.
The following Proclamations from the Mayor and
Sheriff were made yesterday morning.
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, There Is to believe that bodies Of
less persons steahily providing themselves with
arms for purposes Of violence the citizens Of the city and
county commanded and earnestly entreated assem-
bic Immediately in their respective wards and adopt the
most effective organization for the protection Of persons
and property and TO report themselves to the aldermen Of
their respective wards for duty
