Two CLOCK, A. M.-Our reporter has
just returned from the Hudson county Jail,
at Bergen Hill, where sixty of the Dutch
men arrested at lloboden are confined in
separate cells. We made inquiries for the
jailer, and were informed that he had gone
10 Hoboken with the military companies,
to protect the citizens from violence, that was
anticipated by all who were at the village.
The above prisoners will be brought out
of Jail this morning, and examined upon
the charges preferred against them.
THREE o'CLocK.-Another Of our re.
porters has just reached this office, and
informs us that the Wright Independent
Riflemen and the Jersey City Continentals
have just returned to Jersey City, and re-
port that all is quiet at Hoboken.
STILL LATER.-lti is asserted that young
Hicky, who was wounded in the riot, died
this morning.
A few moments after the above news re.
ceived, it was announced that Justice Bun
ming was not expected to live.

arrived after nine o clock, and when the
| worst of the affair was over. They beat
their drum, however, and cheered most
vigorously; but there was not an enemy
to be seen, except unfortunate stragglers,
or small groups, consisting Of men; women
and children. The main body had either
passed over the ferry, or gone round 10
Jersey City ferry, or kept ort in the
woods, afraid TO come forward 10 encoun-
ter the foe; and no doubt some of them re-
maiDed all night. 1t was said that large
party Of the boys intended to attack Beck
er's house during tine night, and that the
Dulchmen were well prepared for them,
| with fire arms. In the course of the Fl ght.
the houses Of the Dutch residing III Hobo-
ken, were attacked by the boysj and one of
them, residing in Bloomfield street; collect
| ed number Of Dutch friends to defend bis
| domieile with guns, and pistols, and blum
derbusses; and they came out side and
swore vengeance against the Short Boys.
They were, however, pursuaded TO go in,
and not provoke q rencontre. While all
this was going on at Hoboker ferries this
side, both al Barclay and Canal street, and
some fighting took place. A man, nick
named Dick the Blower, charged with
shooting one of the Germans, was arrested
by officer johnson, of the Filth ward, on
this side Of the wnter.
From the general confusion, and from
the darkness of the night, there being no
gas, or any other kind of light, in the
streets of Hoboken, it was impossible to
obtain anything like an accurate list of the
killed and wounded. 1t is stated that four
have been seen dead, bet their names could
not be ascertainedj and 1t is added that it is
known that as many as twelve have been
killed, or will die of their wounds before
morning.
One man was certainly carried over the
ferry dead. The number of wounded it
would be impossible TO count. They are
hundreds, if not thousands.

ington and Newark streets. The corner
grocery Of B. M. Gilmore & Co had the
doors and windows shattered to pieces, and
stones were thrown into the stare at least
ten pounds weight. Almost every house
down to the ferry was ridded, particularly
Pope's and Corbett's, Mr.. Lewis, and Mr..
Writes, on the opposite to Gimore's.-
They got up on the roof of Mr.. Lewis
house and proceeded to demolish it. The
Germans were now again Victorious
Thus riot reigned uncontrolled, with but
one magistrate and two constables TO op-
pose the torrents. One of the constables,
named Francis, had q revolver; but Of
what avail was it to subdue such a riot
as that? AS darkness fell the scene be-
came more horrible, and individual strug-
glers were dealt numerically with.
The theatre Of battle now shifted to the
ferry, and outside and in, and on the ad.
joining green, the fight ragged furously.-
Mr.. Barker, the proprietor of the hotel ad-
joining the ferry shut up the building
Meantime, the Justice swore in special
constables, and the citizens, incensed by
having their houses attacked, focked to the
standard Of the Justice, who stationed him.

rested as :hey passed through the gate. In
this way some forty or fifty were made
prisoners, while skirmisiu attended almost
every capture; and thus the hostiilies
were kept up till an advanced hour.
Assistance was sent for to the New York
police, and refused. Then Jersey City
was applied to. wheE two military compa-
