Further Particulars Of the Riot n Chicago.
We gave the particulars of the outbreak a
Chicago some days ago in advance of our contem
poraries. Late papers bring us further particu
lars.
Our readers are aware that the disturbanc
arose upon an attempt to enforce the Liquor Law
lately passed by the Illinois Legislature. Tn
outbreak in the morning of the 2lst was partl.
quelled, but was renewed in the afternoon.
A party of Germans came across the river
armed with loaded muskets, knives, clubs, &c.
and marched directly to the Court House Square
with the nvowed purpose of releasing the prison
ers under arrest there. A tumultuOus and excited
crowd had already gathered at this point. po
liceman was shot-some 2 or 3 Germans were
shot by the police. y man passing in wagon
was dangerously wounded with rifle ball. The
disturbance was Quoted by the prompt Interior
ence of the military.
The Court House Square was guarded ut T.
NJ, by soldiers on all sides, field pieces being
placed on each side ready for action. Fifty spe-
cial policemen were sworn in. At p. NJ, every
thing was quiet. No attack was made on the Jail
as threatened and apprehended.
On Sunday, the Odd, numerous arrests had been
made. The Irish National Guards were out for
the first time; and were on duty during the day.
Order reigned there at last accountS--the city
had been released from martial law, and the
Courts were proceeding quietly in the discharge
of their duties.
On the 25th, law and order meeting was held
by the citizens--resolutions were passed denoun-
cling the mob of Saturday, and speeches made
encouraging the execution of the law and sustain
ing its officers.
We arc glad Chicago has added another to the
numerous illustrations of the proposition sought
to be established by the republicans of America
that the largest liberty does not imply the loosest
RIGHTEOUSNESS. These disturbances will OCCASION
ally occur on the verge of great moral revolutions
---but the angry wave that ''kicks against the
welkin in the madness of the hour is not asSuagcd
bv chains of iron such us those with which the
tyrant Xcrxes sought to shacklc the wrathfui
IIelcspont---but yields only to that principle of
moral gravitaton which ut last binds all passions
down in the serene ebb and flow Of the calm ages.
STEAMBOAT ARRIyALs.-Thc City Belle arrived
here from Galena, the 30th inst, with a full
freight. She left Gacna with 800 cabin and 200
deck passengers; towed one barge to Dubuque,
then started for st. Paul loaded to the guards.
We learn from Capt. LoIwick, that there was
sickness on board that it occurred among the
deck passengers received from the Prairie Rose,
Il days from Cincinnati, and from the Col. Nor
gan, that brought up the passengers Of the Malta
Wayne from the Rapids to Galena.
The Malta Wayne was some 81 days on her way,
and she, as well as the Col. Morgan and Prairie
Rose, are reported as being very dirty. 1t is not

who take deck passage so in for 6 cheap farce

IS changed, and then 10 complete all that is ncccs-

'Tis no wonder they get sick-that they die; yet
tbs pity that it should be so through the care
cssncss and culpablc neglect of known duties on
the part of those who run the boats.
The War Eagle arrived from Galena on Sun
day night with full freight ana all the passcn-
gers she could carry with safety. We are glad
to learn and happy to say that no pains arc spared
on all the boats of the Ga!ena Packet Co. to rem
der them clean, comfortable and healthy.

but when you get acquainted with Capt. Harris OF
the War Eagle, Capt. Blaklcy of the Galcna, and
Capt. Lodwick of the City Belle, you can bu. con-
fess that they are men - and that with
them the health and accommodation OF their
passengers are paramount to everything else.
