At two o'clock the United States troops-marines
and ar1iuerymen-under Col. Duany, came forth

and second corps Of United States Marines brought
up the rear, under Lieut.. Queen. As soon as the
rear guard had turned into Court street. the crowd
attempted to follow, but the National Lancers inter-
posed and no one was permitted to follow the troops

spectacle, and the haib0r was dotted with sail and
row-toats. The Marshal, with his prisoner, got on
board the steamer at twenty minutes three o'clock
The United States troops also went on board After
me delay, occasioned by putting the field piece on
bcaId the steamer, steam was got up. and az hai
past three clock the boat was cast away and sailed
direct for Tie United States revenue cutter Morris,
which was lying OF Long wharf. The prisoner was

was executed. The cutter was taken in tow by the
stoamer, and headed out to SEQ.
The military now returned, the martial law was
revoked, and the streets were soon freed from the
noups Of angry people who bad obstructed them
for many hours. Considering the state OF the public
feeling-the excitement occasicned by the murder
Of Batchelder-the outrages c0nnseed by the aboll-
tionsts at Faneuil Hall and the Melodeoa, the in
suits offered to the military at various pointst IS
almost miraculous that the days doings ended so

lery directed the men to charge and one man, more
inpulsive than the rest, stepped forward and

The crowd cried shame, pressed forward, and there
was every indication of an onset. Captain Evans
ordered his men to Are but Major John G. Boyd,
who was on the spot, countermanded the order
This, perhaps, was the most unfortunate circum
stance of the day.
| On Long wharf, a rowdy undertook to force the
military gnarj. lie was arrested by the police, and
tie moment that he was taken into custody, nc
dropped bottle which he had concealed within his
4 coat The bottle contained vitriol. He explained
that he was clerk that he had purchased
"ink," and that if the bottle contained vtriol, he
was unaware Of the fact. After OBTAINING him some
time, the police discharged him.
At eleven o'clock Mr. Dana, attended by the Rev
Mr.. Crimes called upon Mr.. Freeman and, asked
that they (Dana and Grimes) be permitted to walk
side by side with the prisoner, or with the Marsha
from the Court House to the transport ship. Tlfs
the Msrshal courteously but firmly refused, whefe
upon Mr.. Dans asked, authoritatvely, "Do you take
tie responsibility of refusing this request =
co." was the response of the Marshal. Had Mr
Dana been permitted to have walked within tht
"hollow square, bis political fortune would have

everywhere that his presence saved the peace OF tht
city. Mr.. Dana and Mr. Grimes were. however, per
