RIOT IN LOUISVILLE
A terrible riot occurred in Louisville,
on the night Of the 9th. The dispatches
do not state the cause, but as the Irish
were on one side, and the Americans on
the other, we judge that "Sam" and his
enemies have had dispute about some :
thing, and concluded to settle the difficult
ty by a regular 'set-to.' Twenty OR more
persons were killed. twelve or fifteen
houses burne,i, and an immense number f
BACKED eyes, bruised heads. &C., were
manufactured. Altogether, it must have
been rich scene, and worthy to I. enact

Louisville is fast becoming notorious, in
this line, and scenes Of riot, murder and
bloodshed, are becoming so common as
scarcely to be interesting.

Tennessee returns show immense gains
for the Know Nothings, though it is not

We learn from the Memphis Eagle

1t appears by the news from Saratoga
Springs, that some Seward Aboltioni>lS
there have been ''informing the negroes e
their rights" and that the blacks insist
upon equality with white people. A cor
respondent of the New York Herald gives
the following account OF the disturbance:
For some time past there has been quite
a time among the fashionables, in regard
TO liberties taken py the negroes Of this
place. The rules Of the Spring prohibit
the blacks from using glasses used by the
white folks. The negroes, as am in
formed, are prompted by some of the Sc.
ward stripe that they have the same rights
as the white folks. A few evenings ago
one of the "gemmen'' was handed out Of
the grounds. The same afternoon a large
building belonging to Clarke Il White,
was burned, for which the owners offer
reward of $500 for any information Of the

prevailed. This morning, at o'clock, the
niggers from the different hotels mustered
and came down to the Congress Spring
and mixed in with the Shanghais. When
they were told to disperse they refused.
A Mr. Sheppard, lawyer Of New 1ork
pulled out a shooter and swore he would
shoot the first niger that would dare al
tempt to drink out of the glasses. 10
few minutes Mr.. Pike, a justice OF the
peace, arrived, whose presence settled the
affair for the present. A disturbance IS
anticipated every day.
