The city OF New York, in its early
history, witnessed an outbreak which
ran INTO panic. Negroes and whites,
who were supposed to have any hand
in it, were unceremonionsly hung,

inhabitants Of this embryo mctropc-

tide. Most of the men that ape
state smansb.p at the present day, are

the Collins line, took detachment
of 26O U. S. troops. The scene around
the wharf was an exciting one. A
crowd from every walk in life was

parading the streets. Not day pass
es but half a dozen target compa-
MES, and at least one regiment OF the
military, are out in all their pomp and
ceremony. A stranger III the city
would almost be led to believe that
we had standing army here, a por-

through the streets for exhibition, so
great is the mania for appearing in a
procession of some kind.
The different dealers in the article
of tobacco report the business in that
