From the New Orleans papers Of September "A.
which came to hand yesterday, we regret to learn
tnas tne disturbances which we're supposed to have
terminated, were renewed on the night Of Tues.
day, and that more lives were sacrihced. The Del.
ta has the annexed account: s.
The city appeared 90 quiet Tuesday night, when
we closed our report thath was thought the dir.
graceful disturbances, which have kept n 10 70 f
setnn state Of excitement Tor some days past, had
hnaIly Terminated. Not 20, however; ior It ap-
pears mat shortly after eleven o'clock while the

Levee street, kept by one Tim Du6ey, this party
proceeded to the house of Duffey,s entered and
completely demolished 1t, breaking up the furni.
the upper portion Of the house. About a dozen.
shots were fred into the house. and It il said they
were intended for Duffey, as the cry was to skifl
the scoundrel," from all aides A man, named Bar
ney Boylan, who boarded at the house. ran out and
crossed Levee street, where he was fired upon and
wounded In the leg. Another man who had just
arrived from Louisville, named John Kane, and
Yves stopping at the house, In attempting to escape
therefrom, was stopped BY the crowd who demand
ed of him "will you be American or Irish !" be re-
piled, half frightened to death, that he was an
American, but seeing at the same moment chance
to run, be started down Leyee street. About fifty
shots were fired at him, and the crowd rushed in
pursuit. The poor fellow turned down Lafayette
street towards the Levee and as he got In front of
John Corbetts coffee house, which had been
closed, he was overhauled by the crowd An eye
witness to this occurrence informs MS that he was
here shot, Notwithstanding strong effort was made
by some Of theparty to save him, who expostulated
with the crowd and begged them not to XIII the
poor fellow; but the cries Of "shoot the fellow
were loud and long, and shoot him it is believed.
they did ''e5 F ~ q 'sai / i1 ia'ti i.''s'
Our informant states that they then picked him
up and carried him away with them. Wefollowed
track of blood for some dfstance down Fulton
street The body Of Kane has not been found, nor
has he since been heard Of although ,earch has
pears he was quiet, inoffensve man, who had just
arrived In the city on business. and knew nothing
of the disturbances The demolshing of this house,
and the.report the disturbance going on reached
Lafayette Square, brought out the military; and
after General Tracy had requested all peaceful cit
izens who were assembled around the aquareto re-
tire to their houses the military, composed of the
Louisiana Legion, the National Guards, and Wash
ington Artillery, proceeded to Levee street, bat
they found no one there-the house had been de,
molished and the crowd dBpersed. The military
then marched up into the vicinity of st. Mary's
MARKET and after patrolling the streets and finding
az a was quiet, they returned to the square, and
II being near daylight, they were dismissed.
One ofthe most melancholy circumstances ofthe
night was the numbering of young Iriahman by
some person unknownI at The corner of Annuncia
ton and Erato streets. James Porter, clerk en-
ployed in the stave end humber yard of Cavino
Leddo & Co, at the corner of Levee' and ST

turbances and was, In eli probability, on bis way

The above 10 the most correct statement of the
occurrence of last night that we have been ableto
CLEAN from personal observation and the various
accounts that were shoat yesterday morning We
sincerely hope, and but echo the wish Of all our
law-abidipg citizens, that the excitement may end
here. The authorities should make It end here
