During all last night, up to the time
we 60 to press, the military remained
posted at every avenue leading to the
Catholic Churches in The city and dis
tricts. Cannon were stationed on seve-
raj Of the streets, and precauion taken
to prevent an emeute. They were en-
tircly successful and every thing re-
NAMED quiet.
Last evening there was another ap-
pearance of disturbance at Second and
Queen street but it was promptly
quelled by Captain Florence and his
command
1t is evident that the spirit Of misrule
is yet abroad, the occurrence at Second
and Queen streets giving token OF it
but as the military are now armed with
the power to act decisively, it is to be
presumed that no further actual out
breaks will take place.
The only evidence Of the activity Of
evil disposition, or the desire to wreak
private malice by diverting, to the at
tainment of their own purposes, the
fury Of the mob, rests on the fact. that
notes have been sent to private indivldu-
ais threatening their dwellings, and
property with destruction. 1t is to be
hoped that these foolish men may have
cause to repent of wha, they have said.
Volunteers of sister towns in our
State have willingly and promptly come
to the aid Of our authorities.
All is quiet, and we earnestly urge
every citizen to aid in keeping it so.
From the North American.
We learn from head quarters, that
the armed force now in requisltion to
keep the peace, will not be disbanded
until The object olit$ organization IL lul-
/ Iy secured.
II From the Ledger.
Il We were yesterday morning informed
that large number Of the Irish Catho-
| lies and others, who were so ruthlessly
thrust from their homes during the riots
of Tuesday and Wednesday, had en-
camped in Camac's woods, and other
places, some two CT three miles North
of the city.
| Surrounded by their wives and chill
dren, it was alleged they were unable to
proceed, and were afraid to return to
the city. Our informant represented
their condition as destitute and pitlable
n in the extreme. They were without
food, except what chance or charity
threw in their way, and destitute oI
clothing sufficient to protect them Iron
the damp night air.
