THE NEW YORK QUARANTINE WAR.
The Quarantine war begins to assume a serious
aspect. On Tuesday last. Gov. King issued proc
cIamation, in which he Solemny declares that the
deliberate and wantOn destruction the nights OF
the lst and I'd of September, by large mob OF
armed men, of the buildings, dwelling houses and
hospitals at the Quarantine station in the county
| of Richmond, the property of the people OF this
State; the cruel and inhuman dragging forth of the
sick and disabled patients from the hospitals; their
/ barbarOus exposure without shelter throughout an
inclcmcnt night, and the general concurrence in,
and approval of, these violent acts by the people of
the county of Richmond, present case which,
standing alone in its enormity and violence appeals
directly to the Chief Magistrate of the State to
scrt and maintain the dignity of the State and the
authority of the laws so contemptu0usly defed and
/ trOddcn under foot. DESTROYS of maintaining the
supremacy of the laws, he denounces these acts of
arson and outrage crimes of the highest infamy;
and Tor the purpose of bringing the people et the
county of Richmond to just sense of the enormity
OF the crimes they have permitted to be perpetrated
without any attempt their part to interfere with
punish the well known. bold and principal actors
in these acts of arson and murder, he calls upon
the civil authorities and inhabitants of the county
to cooperate in restoring the outraged peace and
order Of the Island, and in bringing to cOndign
punishment the actors and abettors in these
of arson and murder. BY reason of these acts and
proceedings referred to, and of the refusal of the
Sheriff of Richmond county to perform his duty,
he declares the county of Richmond to be in state
of inSurrectiOn, and orders that military force OF
sufficient strength shall be detailed and stationed at
! the Quarantine until the returning sense of the
people of Richmond county to their duties and OBJ
legations as peaceful citizens shall render its pres
| ence unnecessary, or until the Legislature shall
! otherwise direct.
! We take from the Herald and Tribune the follow
! ing, the latest accounts of Quarantine affairs
Nothing of startling nature transpired at Quar-
| antinc yesterday. The news of Governor King )
! proclamation did not reach the ground until late
| in the afternoon General Hall was present in the
afternoon, and consulted with the Health officer
to the proper steps to be taken should any attempt
! be made to renew the work of incendiarism. The
authorities much alarmed at some threats
! which had been made to burn down the temporary
hospitals now in course of erection, and expressed
| a strong desire that the Seventh regiment should
! be on hand to protect the property. General Hall
stated that order had yet been issued to call out
! the military, but that it was very probable re
! QUESTION would be made upon Major General Sand
! ford to day.
| At noon the police on duty were relieved by a
! fresh and conveyed back to the city.
