o'clock during the night of the riot on Morgan
street, near the levee, was stabbed Immediately
below the left shoulder blade, as also upon the
right shoulder and arm, died OF his wounds,
and was found Yesterday morning in an alley
below Main, on Morgan street, and brought TO
the health Office, where an inquest was held on
his body by Coroner Brown An inquest was
held at the same time and place on the body
of Joe or Frank Freeman, the particulars OF
whose death we gave yesterday.
Besides these two men, we learn Of William
harrington, who was taken to the Sisters hos
pital very badly wounded, and who died some
time during yesterday. 3.
OF those wounded we hear Of man by the
name of Jackson Fowler, mate on some of
our steamboats, lying at the wharf, who was
badly shot in the left side, from which wound
he is not expected to recover. James Russell,
pilot was also shot in the arm. We heard
of man whose name was not told us, who re-
ceived n pistol ball in his abdomen, also of an
other who was badly stabbed under the left
arm A man by the name Of Post, horse
auctioneer on Broadway, was badly stabbed;
Daniel Mulligan received gun shot in the alb
domen which will likely produce death; John
Dougherty is also badly shot, and is now lying
at the hospital. This completes as full a list
as we have been able to collect.
All day yesterday the excitement continued,
squads of men gathered here and there on the
corners, and all along the principal streets, APP
peared to be in anxious consultation and alarm
In the afternoon it was reported that the Irish
of Battle Row were forming themselves into a
body, arming with pistols, bowie-knives, and
filing their houses with stones and other mis-
ses, and their general attacks upon Americans
were contemplated in different parts of the city.
1t was also nOised around that the st. Louis
University was to be mobbed by the Americans,
and as an offset to this, that the Republican
office was to be assailed by the Irish. We
heard, also, that large number of lrishmen
had joined together on the opposite side OF the
river from the railroad, intending to cross over
in the night when the alarm should be given, to
assist their countrymen.
All the military were ordered to be in readi-
ness at the first alarm. A large force Of po-
licemen were detailed. Great crowds collected
on the streets where disturbances were likely to
begin.
At this hour, III P. NJ we anticipate no
further riot or blood-shed, though the very com
bustible state of the public mind would seem
to promise nothing else but another outbreak.
p. S. ANOTHER ATTACK AND STILL MORE
BLooDsHED.-Since writing the above the por-
ton Of our city at and near the intersection of
Sixth and Green streets, has been the scene of
a continuance of the riot with the most fatal eff
feet. From what we can learn, the renewal of
hostilities was occasioned by squad of little,
trihing vagrant boys, who collecting together
on the corner of Fourth and Green streets,
raised loud outcry and started up the street,
throwing shower of rocks at the houses sup
posed to contain the Irish, as they passed by.
The cry drew large number of people after
the boys, and when the throng arrived at Sixth
street, they were fred into from the windows of
small frame shanty standing on the northeast
corner of Sixth and Green.
The military company, known as the Cont.
nentals, were first upon the spot to prevent
further disturbance, and they, too, received the
fire of the inmates of the houses, which was re-
turned, but we learn without any effect upon
the Irish.
Finally, the shooting was stopped, and some
dozen or more arrests were made by the police.
The result is as follows: Of the Continentals
we learn that John Holiday received severe
flesh wound in the thigh, just above the knee,
from q pistol ball, and, also, that John Nelson
was badly shot in the leg and arm, but it was
thought no bones were broken. 1t was reported
to us.that Lieutenant Spore was wounded in
the arm, and, also, that Captain Blackburn was
in some way injured.
On the corner of Sixth and Morgan streets,
Thomas Ferguson, who was shot in the arm
and both legs; A. G.. Tice, foundryman Of
the Missouri Foundry, on Main street, who had
received about twenty buckshot in his legs,
farms, and in his body-he was badly hurt;
also, Hamilton Mashette, who was wounded in
his right leg, both above and below his knee,
by pistol balls, also, Thomas Hide, who re-
ceived shots in both legs and in his arm.
Lying in the same place with these men, was
q man supposed TO be an Irishman, who was
shot dead through the heart.
When we left the scene Of the disturbance,
the military appeared to be occupying the street
with good effect, although the murmurs of the
crowd were loud and deep. We should not be
at all surprised if some most terrible demon
stration was made during the night.
God knows where this fearful riot will end.
Our citizens Of the American party appear to
be excited to the utmost, and the whole city is
ready for the most violent outbreaks. The
The police and military seem to have but little
control of the multtudes.
ONE O'CLOCK, ANA report has Just reached
our Office that the fighting is still going on. A
dense crowd is collected at the corner of Ninth
and Biddle streets. Firing has been done
there, and E. r. Violet, we'll known iron

At the corner Of Broadway and Ashley street
two men were shot down about o'clock. One
we understand is John Faley, lieutenant Of the
night police, and the other Mr.. Snyder, a
coffee. house keeper Of the six ward. Snyder is
dead, and Faley it is thought cannot live. Sc
veral others were badly hurt at that point. We
know not where this thing is to end. While
we write at halfpast one o'clock, the FIRE bells
are tolling, and the streets are filed with ex-
cited citizens. Policemen are "rapping" in
every direction.
Riot and bloodshed is the order OF the night;
