The Empire County argus., 1856-06-28

Each man wore a white ribbon in the left lapel of
his coat, which, it is supposed something by
which to designate members. Several draymen on
Front street. were loading up goods to be shipped by
up-rver boats; and on the alarm being given, they
stripped off their harness. leaving the draws half
loaded mounted the steeds and took their places in
the ranks of the cavalry.
The streets in every direction glisened with bright
bayonets and flying horsemen, who were hurrving to
the scene Of acron. The streets and buildings in the
vicinity of the Armory and the Plaza, were literally
alive with human beings-such was the feeling that
pervaded all classes.
The PRELMINARTEs IN THE ARREST OF TERRY.
The Committee having taken the precaution to
guard all the armories, the law and order men were
rendered powerless There were not enough of them
inside to force their way out and contend with their
captorS. Meanwhile, active preparations were going
on for the rescue Of Teery and Maoney. large
portion OF the forces were at the principal Armory,
at the corner of jackson and Dupont Streets where
the prisoners were secreted
Scarcely man could be seen out who did not
wear white badge. We observed very few that
we recognized as law and order men, but they kept
out of sight and hearing of DR.. Asha.
After it became apparent that the Committee was
about to have its own way, DR.. A. appeared at one
OF the windows on the second floor, and said that
Terry in the building, and did uot mean to make
any resistance. He asked that member of the
Executive Committee be sent for, that they might
surrender themselves. Said he should not attempt
to make speech. This was time of great excite
ment-not proper time to make speech
ARRIVAL OF THE COMMITTEE
The delegation from the Executive Committee,
consisting Of Truett Smiley, VAIL Tillinghurst and
Dempster, arrived at 4. They made written de-
mand for thersons of Terry and Maoney and for the
surrender OF all the in the building. After the
exchange Of several communications 8 minutes was
ui1-nn IN Irhn to +l,o
expiration of the time, member of the Committee
called out: " We want you to open those doors,
without q moments hesitation! The bolts were
drawn, and the rooms thrown open.
About 20 men were then marched into the build
ing and without resistance brought out all the arms
there embracing a stand of all 9OO They were
loaded upon drays and carried under strong guard
to the committee rooms on Sacramento street. Two
coaches were then brought up in front of the door,
the prisoners Terry and Maoney, were conducted
down and placed in them for transportation to the
peoples tribunal.
Terry appeared very Indifferent to the spectacle,
and sort of Indifferent smile as he entered the
carriage. Maloney was more excited and affected,
and looked very pale.
The MARCH TO THE Rooms.
They were escorted by strong deputation of the
military to the rooms, passing Dupont to Washington
thence to koamey, thence to Clay thence to Mont
g0mery, passing thence to Sacramento street to the
rooms.
All along the route the streets were most densely
crowded by people, who were anxious to get sight
Of the Supreme Judge. 1t was difficult to get
through the crowd which bore the distinguished prs-
Cner.
SURRENDER OF THE ARMoRY.
After the prisoners had been Gagged, the Committee
turned their attention to the recovery of the arms of
the other arsenals. The forces were next concentra
ted at the California Express, on Clay and Kearney
streets, where there about 80 Law and Order
men gathered, with arms in hand but were unable to
get out in consequence of the pressure of the stronger
force without.
The Committee and army took possession of Clay
and Kearney streets, for distance of about block.
In front of the building they placed pieces of very
saucy looking cannon which We're managed by men
who knew how to use Them When the forces were
all properly stationed to make assault in case OF
necessity. Col. Doane and the delegation of the Ex-
ecutve Committee made demand OF Col j. r.
West, who in command of the Armory, arms
and all accoutrements in the ArmOry. After a long
parey he surrendered. Col. West ordered his men
to march mp to the door and one at time to hand
over his arms.
All the guns removed. The entire building was
examined for ammunition, all of which removed to the
magazine of the Committee The same course was taken
with the Armory at Madame Pque Hail. at The iron build
ing, of Sacramento and Montgomery streets, and

will entail great expense.
