 The house next to that of Pitchers belono. ed to Chas Heyback, who was man well-ofF and which was finely, if not elegantly furnish. ed. It was rddled and gutted-everythingi it, from front to back, from cellar to roof, de- stroyed He had some $ 300 worth of liquor, and the furniture destroyed-juding from DOT, tions of 1t which we saw, was worth Sl ,jGO more. There were no less than eleven marks of rifle or musket balls in the ceiling of the up per front room. He has fled to the countrv.- The way to the cellar led down from the bar. room, and a negro, who went down to steal arriving at the bottom, stumbled over the bo, dies of three men. He gave the alarm. when they were brought up nearly dead-partIy with fright, but mostly from being confined in sink or dry well. There was a clock in the bar room, musical clock valued at SGOO, whcl was entirely destroyed. Jacob Barker's housa was also riddled.
 | Two men, names unknown, who started t run, were caught and terribly beaten. Mir Wal Murphy, a quiet, noltensive young Irishma the only stay and supporter of an old widowed mother, and who was in Some way empoyedo, engaged at Hull, Hunt & Co.'S, was chased across the bridge, towards the pork house and shot. He was not killed instantly, but taker home to his heart broken mother It is use less for Us to attempt to depict the agony of her widowed and bereayed heart. Young Murpbv was beloved and respected by all who kneg him. Before he died, when told that perhar he would recover, and asked to tellif he kuel who shot him, he replied "l dO not want live any longer.--I know who shot me-it W. one whom 1 believed to be my best fricnd--n l don't want to live, when my friends treat T thus" After repeated eutreaties, he did reve the name of his murderer to d company of $. or seven.
 Leaving that immediate neighborhood, W found that the Shelby street Hall, corner Shelby and Green, had been attacked, riddle and broken into. The grocery store of Mr

 At the corner of Clay and Madison, Mir. Juo Yogan was shot, stabbed and beaten. This w4 at the place where we saw the crowd with th American flag flying at their head. The BuL | lati iuS+ifv tbic chootiuU from th fact that shots were fired from the houses.- This may be so, or may not-but if people ar not justified in defending their houses and ia miles from mob, we are coming into glorious ly delightful times.
 A ropemaker named Heiu who was walkiu.
 quietly and peaceably along the street, was ter rlbly beaten.
 Mr. Kissier'a grocery, corner of Walnut al. Shelby, was riddled and rtled; everything ill destroyed

 At night some of the cooper shops on Mai street near AtkinSons pork-house were set ol fire and burned down.
 [ But the worst feature of the day occurred i the Eight Ward. Our information obtained the
 was almost entirely from members of the knog nothing party. We took their testimony be cause we were determined 10 man should chag us with cxaggeration.
 Our visit was first to the court house, whe
 we found the corpse of Francis Quinn who h
 been shot, and then burned in one of his Oy , houses. He was a man who, for twenty-hJ l wears, had been a resident i'll LOuisyllle-W-
 had labored for her welfare and prosperity who had done more to build up the lower q
 of the city than any other mau-WhO was
 quiet inohensve old man, known only to loved and respected. But he was guilty of t-
 unpardonable crimes; he was born ill lrea- , and was CathOlc-yes, three crimes-hlS b. ther was priest.
 t1 At the court house were also the burned charred remains of man and woman locked
 each others arms-her head thrown betwe
 his breast and arm, as if to protect her face fire

 shot or stabbed 50 that they could not get
 of the way.
 On Chapel street we found the body of o man Barrett, who lived on Main above Eh veuth, but who was said to have been lhe ma l that shot young Gryhpm. He was shot ill th ) forehead, badly bruised about the chin aud wa then hung
 Two sons of Mr. R. Long, who kept fee store corner Main and Eleventh, wereshotde l while running after their brother who had be. taken to ail
 Mir. Theodore Rhodes, young man ofmu t promise, and said to be know nothing, w , shot and killed iunocently. Also Mr. WI e Graham, .who about an hour before , death had been talking with a gentleman e our office, and who had expressed his detest

 It was reported as means of melting ' h mob to demolish the houses that there were i kegs of powder in one of them. If there wen : it must have been queer kind of powder n' l, to have exploded while the houses were oOs
