This frnd afterwards paraded up and down the
Court House yard, with his pitch-fork shout
der-arms for nearly one hour until his services
were required elsewhere. Do the city authorl-
ties not know who they are2 I cannot give
you all the incidents that happened, and that
saw during the afternoon. Toward evening
they moved down TO Chapel and Market street.
An Irishman kept grocery, and his house had
a triangle marked with chalk on it. They gut
ted his house completely, divided the liquor,
cigars and tobacco, & threw him out OF his house
with such violence as to injure him fatally
After they had completed the destruction OF
furniture and windows, they sent him to jail 10
make ii appear that he was the guilty parity
He died in Jail last night From there they
gathered around Mr.. Quin'S, one square be-
low on Main street. MIR. Qnin has always
been called peaceable, good citizen-he was
worth about 100000. He had several fine
tfree-story houses. and had Irish tenants IN
them. When the crowd collected, they knew
what would come next. An IriShman (perhapsi
imprudently fired, and man fell in the crowd.
II they had not fred, think the result would
have been the same. Near O'Clock, they fired
the house in different places. They stood guard
(''Let none but Americans stand guard to-
night ~ SO that none Of the inmates OF the large
house could Escape. The 10 or - two-story
houses adjoining in the block, were all entered
and women and children and furaiture. promiS-
cuously dashed cut of doors and windows. The
men had TO fly in this part OF the block as best
they could. A poor Irish woman was lamen-
ting the loss of one Of her children several OF
us tried to find it for her. Just as was going
near the house Mr.. Quin lived in, two men,
dressed in female apparel. 70 avoid detection,
came out Of the house the greater part OF the
house was then on 6rei TO make their escape.
Both were recognized and both shot dead not
far from where stood. MIR. Quin then tried
to make his escape but was shot and thrown
back into the flames, and suffered to remain
there until his body was nearly consumed. On
the other wing Of the honsp, woman tried to
save her husband by rolling him into feather
bed, and another woman helped 10 remove him
from the house. They discovered the trick, and
then the devils took him and hanged him they
then took one OFT of house on the opposite side
Of the street, and hanged him too, and applied
the torch to his house. Several more were kill
ed-some said burned up, not permitted TO leave
their houses. There We're - or IA houses de-
stroyed in this district. They had twelve

with musketS marching up and down the street
some said the mayor sent the ''Guards" there
to keep the peace. / hope il IS not so. AT
about / , O'Clock or midnight, two fires were
kindlpd 10 the upper part of the city-the sky
was in lurd blaze, the moon looked red, and
the time had come when MANY thought the CT
tvs doom was sealed. Just al this time, they
marched up Third street towards the Times and
Democrat Offices, yelling like devils let loose
from hell :-"Domn wiM the Times down
uifbfbe Democrat :" Here an unexpected check
was made. A few crav-headed citizens stood
there. but said not a word. The mob hesiiated
one Of the leaders said, sBoys YOU have done
noblv to-day, YOU elected the ticket and honor
able men too, and yoIshad better 60 home now"
IT is not known how many have been murder
ed, but il is known that neither sex nor age has
been spared. The Democratic editors dare not
give a full account of this transaction. The
mayor dare not arrest the ringleaders, but eve
rv honest citizen knows the cause.-The prime
leaders and the fiends who acted at their bid.
1t is still dangerous for any man to give an
opinion, as they have their eaves-dropperS now
at every Hotel, printing office, and public place
of resort. You can have no idea Of the state of
things, and of The public mind. They know
that the city authorities are Of them, belong to
them, and are with them. Who has right to
give an opinion? God only knows where and
when it is going to stop. ''Let none but Amer
leans stand guard tonight !" I have witnessed
it. Nav never see il again.

~ When the know-nothings were beaten
in Virginia it was the open ballot that did the
work. according to their newspapers. They
have tried the secret ballot in four other States
