LATrR.-We copy the following from the Forest
City Democrat for Wednesday:
Yesterday forenoon, some fifty Of the villains,
disguised ia comc'S clothes, commenced an attack
Gt the State Street Bridge and tore it down. Az
forwards the mob set fire TO the timbers and burned
them up. They next attacked the French Street
Bridge, and demolished Thy axe and fire. A crowd
OF thousand vagabonds looked on and yelled their
appreciation in dismal screechcs.
The Sheriff made feeble, mock attempt to pro-
toe the bridges and to preserve the peace but his
Efforts ayailed nothing, except to make tic mob
laugh. He left the ground. The ra5ble cheerod, 4
and the "womcn" chopped and burned.
During the destruction Of the bridges, a son of
John II. Walker, (onc Of the Directors who wasl
peacefully looking on, was set on by the ruflans
rotten .cgged, stoned, kicked and beaten in the
most brutal and shocking manner He can hardly
recover from his wounds. Tho drunken wretches
pretended that he was spy, but the real offence
was, that the young man was the son of q Director
Of tho road. His clothes were literally torn from
his body.
We understand that Lowry tclegraphcd from
Pittsburgh to Erie on Wednesday, advising the
rowdes ito keep up the war"
The Directors Of the L. & N. +. Road held a
meeting at Erie yesterday and elected the former
Board of Directors

has been tolegraphed to President Pierce by gen
tleman of Erie
After cutting down tho bridges. piling up the
timbers and burning them, the miscellaneous vag-
abonds filed in, and marched after band of music
to the public square, where they were hGrrangucd
by a scamp named Benson.
Last night was spent in drunken uproarious
carousal and debauch.
LATER.---A private despatch received here at o.
p. NJ, last night, states that the excitement was
running very high; more outrage anticipated
crowds prowling about in riotous manner and
that the boy Walker was in very critical condition

constantly sending dispatches to the insurgents,
melting them to further deeds Of crime.
