RIOT TN WASHINGTON.

The municipal election in Washing
ton City on Monday the 1st inst. was at
tended by serious riots, resulting in the
death of IL persons, and about so
wounded, more or less severely. The
cause of the riot is attributed TO some
fifteen or twenty rowdy boys and men
from Baltimore city, who went over to
Washington on the morning of that day
and by the aid of liquor as stimulent
workedihemselves into riot party, and
endeavored To take possession of one of
the ward polls. The Mayor Of the city
ordered out the United States soldiers
then in Washington, consisting Of ITO
marines, to dispense the mob collected
and TO preserve the peace. 1t seems
that this movement of the Mayor seiv.
ed but to exasperate the rowGies, who
with swall brass swivel, and armed
with revolvers and knives showed de-
termination to resist the advances Of the
soldiers. A charge was made upon
them and their cannon captured. A.
bout the same time the order was given
to fire on the retreatng crowd, which
they did killing 7 or persons, and
woundiDg number of others, said not
to have been engaged in the not, but
we're merely spectators. The mob was
then disbanded and order restored, but
an intense excitement prevailed through.
on, tho day.
The opposition press have put forth
every effort to fasten this bloody affair
upon the American party, as originating
and encouraged by them. This is as
unjust as it is untrue. We venture to
assert that the Americans as a party,
greatly deplore this tragic scene and vi.
olation Of the law, and as heartily de.
nounce the instigators and perpetrators
Of this disbolical act SO much as tho
Democratic party, and al! good end or.
der loving citizens, and they lay no
claim to, nor recognize IN any manner
whatever, those engaged in this disrepu.
table affair as members oftbe party. We
think II stopping TO meanness on the
part Of the Democratic press to endesy,
or to make political capital of this affair,
and all right minded and intelligent
men will view it in this light Facts
could be adduced TO prove that no blame
can be attached to the Americans but
upon the other hand could lay ii to per.
sons acting aud voting with tho OPPOSE.
ton party, but 1t is deemed best to let
the matter as political matter, rest, no.
ping that the strong arm of tho law will
be able to ierrot out and administer JUS

From An excellent paper in this

following sketch Of this adven'uror,
A glance at the personal history of
tho remarkable man who conducted
this daring enterprise may not be IN.
interesting. General Walkers's father
had been banker in Scotland and
emigrale to the Uoited States in 1920.
Walker himself was born in 1924, but
manifested rowing disposition. At
an early age he graduated successfully
in law, physic and divinity; travelled
for year in Europe; returned to the
States, and become the editor of news
paper in N. Orleans; thence proceeded
10 San Francisco in California in a
similar capacity, which no relnquished
to take command Of the Sonora expe-
diion. Gen. Walker i, but little over
five foet four. His features are desert
bed as coarse and impossible; his square
chin and long jaw denote character,
but his lips are full; ADD his mouth is
not well formed; his eyes are uniyer-
sally spoken of as the striking feature
in his face--of a singhla'ly light grey,
they arc SO large aud fixed that in a
daguorreotype the eyelid is scarcely
visible. His manner is remarkably self
possessed; and some Of his most init.
mate friends, who have been with him
throughout the most trying scenes of
his Nicai aguan experiences. have as.
sured me that under 90 circumstances
have they ever observed him to change
countenance, even to laugh, or to alter
in the smallest degree his slow and
precise mode OF direction. He is at
all times tacitorp, and when no does
speak it 10 directly TO the point. He
manifests contemptoUs indifference
to danger without being reckless. and
altogether seems better qualified to in.
spiro confidence and respect among
lawess men than to- shine in civilized
society. He is ascetic in his habits,
and his career has hitherto shown him
to be truly careless ofacquiring wealth.
Highly ambitions, it is only due TO
him to say that his aspirations, bowev-
or little in accordance they may be
with the moral code in vogue at the
present day, are beyond richcs. He
has q fixed faith in the star Of his dos.

by the civilized nations of Europe as

The Mormons,--Mr. BENZ. G. Ferris
author of d work on the Murmons, in n
letter published on Saturday in New
York. says that "the population Of Utah
has been Greatly overrated. In the ear.
ly part of 1858, was rouhdiy estimated
at from $4,000 To $4,000; but at the
Fall conference Of that year, as appears
from q regular teishs taken by them
selves,it did not quite corte up to Is, 600
The migration Of 1854 was only abou,
$500; that 5000 was the sum total, re-
ported as shipped from Liverpool 70,
1855; and that 1000 only were the mum
bers intehcea to be sent over The plains
the same year. With this data, and ma
king fair allowance for loss and gain,
for sleserion and natural increase com
pnted the population Of 1855 at %, 500
foung'a hand:cart system of transporta.
ton is a PEI feet failure. One.half to
two',hirds of The emigran,s who leave
for there perish by the way. The pres
eht population cannot by any reasona
BILE calculation be- made TO number
moro than 10000" He says a very
small forcs would be suffi cient To pro
lect those who ATE kept in unwilling
suhjection to the grinding tyranny Of
the Mormon church.
