School Election in Salem

On Saturday last. says the Salem Re.

WINERY and VIM. p. WEST. The
question of levying a tax Of Fifteen thou.
sand dollars for the purpose OF building
a new school house, was carried by a
maturity of -four 10 one. We think this
vote highly commendable on the part of
our citizens, and it must necessarily show
to people everywhere. that a just appre-
citation of the wants and interests of our
place and its youth is felt aud cared for.
1t certainly betrays no niggardly, par
slmonicns spirit in our tax payers, to thus
voluntarily lay upon themselves a contri.
button of fifteen thousand dollars, for the
good of our town and its people at such
times as those.

Riots at New Orleans.

The accounts of the Riots at New
Orleans are confused and contradictory,
but enough can be cleaned from them to
show that the population of the city is
seething and boiling with excitement.-
How much of it is the effect of political
manoyering, is difficult TO determine
The authority of the City Government
was set at defiance, and the Vigilance
Committee seems TO have the supremacy.
A Telegraph Dispatch of the 81 inst.
says:
The Mayor and Council have gone 10
the headquarters of the Vigilance Com
miltee and read the riot act. Two compa-
MES of militia are engaged in making
cartridges.
The Vigilance Committee have eslab.
lished signals-three guns fired from the
Arsenal invite their supporters to repair
to the Arsenal to resist an attack.
LATER, S p. M-The Vigilance Com
mittee is still triumphant. No fight as
yet. Cotton bales have been torn up and
used for b~arricading the streets. The
city force is an unarmed rabble, with 10
organization or leader. The Mayor has
issued orders 10 take arms wherever they
can be found. Acting on this order, the
rabble broke open and seized weapons in
Kiiiridge's store. 1t is expected that
the Vigilance Committee will seize the
City Hall tomorrow. Bands Of armed
r%ufians are parading the streets. The
stores were compelled to close this after
neon. The Vigilance Committee is sup
ported by the most respectable citizens,
AMI The Municipal Authorities must sue.

night. The gathering around the head

The Vigilance Committee is commanded
by Major ]. X. Duncan, late of U. S.

The Citizens are disquieled with the

Committee is still fortying It's position.-
Lafayette Square is still in possession of

The Recorders have appointed 500

been revoked by the Mayor, and have

On Saturday the Mayor, having his
life guaranteed, he proceeded 10 the ST.
