snoEssIoN JOURNALS IN INV york


The Grand Jury inquiring + r the Circuit Court
of the United States in New York, has presented
the Journal OF Commerce, News, Day Book,
Freemln's journal, and Brooklyn Eage, NJ
papers which, by their articles, published from
time to time, give aid and comfort to treason.
Notwithstanding the periodical attestation OF
the editor of the Deidears Gd-ent Int he is a
Union man, we fluid that his articles on the war
and against the administration, are mainly sc.
lected from these reasonable sheets II the
New York papers above named thus aid and ahel
treason, what does the Gazette, which copies
their reasonable diatrbcs log We leave cou-
mon sense to answer. The freedom OF the prees
is Que thing its RIGHTEOUSNESS is another.
The following is the Presentment of the GRIND
Jury
To the Circuit Court of the United States for the
Southern District Of New York;
The Grand Inquest of the United States OF
America, for the southern district OF New York.
beg leave to present the following facts to the
court. and ask is advice thereon:
"There are certain newspapers within this
district which are in the frequent practice of en-
couragng the rebels now in arms against the
ESueiui NuNeFuhiehl py expressing sympathy
and agreement with them, the duty Of acceeding
TO their demands, and dissatisfaction with the
employment Of force to overcome them. These
papers are the New York daily and weekly
Journal 81 Commerce, the daily aud weekly Ntws,
the daily aud weekly Day BooI, the Freemai's
Journal, and the daily and weekly Eagie, pub
lished in the city of Brooklyn. The first named
of these has just published a list of newspapers
in the free States opposed to what il calls Me
present unholy lrSy'-a war in defence Of our
country and its institutions and our most sacred
rights, aud carried on solely for the restoration
OF the authority Of the Government
" The Grand Jury are aware that free govern
menis allow liberty of speech aud Of the press
to their utmost limit but there is, nevertheless,
limit II person in fortress or an army
were to preach to the soldiers submission to the
enemy, he would be treated rs an offender
Would lie be more culpahle than the citizen who.
in the midst of the most formidable conspiracy
and rebellion, tells the conspirators and rebels
that they are right, encourages them to perseyere
in resistance, and condemns the effort of loyal
citizens to overcome and punish them as an
unholy war ? II the utterance of such Ian
guage IN the streets, or through the press, is not
crime, than there is great defect in our laws,
or they were not made for such an emergency
The conduct of these disloyal presses is, of
course, condemned and abhorel by all loyal men;
but the Grand Jury will be glad to learn from
the court that it is also subject to indictment
and oondign punishment.
An which is re- pectlully presented

The judge said he would turn over the ire
continent to Judge Wilson, at the October term.

RIOT AT CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE
NEWSPAPER OFFICE DESTROYED
The riot at Concord New Hampshire on
Thursday the sth, briefly reported by telegraph,
was II serious affair. The returned soldiers of
the First New Hampshire Regiment took of
fence nj certain expressions in the editorial
columns Of the Democratic Standard, paper
which has steadiastly opposed the Government
and denounced the war A company OF the
soldiers procured copies of the paper, read rN-
tracts to an excited crowd, and presently Il re-
Nolvcr was fired the ball passing into the
bnildng occupied by the Standard, narrowly
escaping some women employed in n sewing
machine shop on the second floor. The pub
fishers of the Standard four in number, there
upon appeared at the windows, armed with
revolvers, guns and axes. One of them very
imprudently reached forth Colts revolver,
shook it, and told the crowd they were well
prepared, and should defend themselves to the
last extremity. Those whOcomposed the mob
answered with calculations like the following
"Fire, you traitor'-oyou Rebel and Secession
ist'-'fire If you dare"
At this time the City Marshal appeared, read
the riot act and with great difficulty prevented
the soldiers from ascending the stairway. John
NJ Hill, ESQ., and several prominent citizens,
endeavorcd to calm the excited populacc but
and told the publishers that if they would give
up their arms they would cndcayor to protect
their persons and property They agreed to do
this but before anything could be done the
soldiers were nj the head of the stairs and all
parleying was ut an end. The rioters attompt-
ed TO enter, but the door was bolted, and they
commenced STAYING out the panels firearms
were then freely used inside, and several OF
the crowd were wounded one in the arm,
Al.
through the clothes OF number. The firing
was distinctly heard in the street. and thou
sands filled the way 10 q long distance above
and below the building.
The publishers escaped into the attic by II
ladder, and the rioters took possession. The
work of demolition was now commenced in
good earnest; types, desks, paper of all kinds,
and in fact everything which is used about a
printing office, came tumbling down on the
sidewalk in fearful manner. BOnlires were
kindlcd, and the relics OF the Se-
cession press were thrown upon the burning
pile, while the soldiers gathered around the
smouldering ruins and gave vent to their ioy
in the widest aeclamations After the fires
had somewhat abated and nearly everything
had been consumed, the City Marshal went
into the Office and prevailed Upon the rioters
to go into the street.
The passages in the Standard which excited
the ire of the soldiers were us follows: One
article stated that'the men would be allowed
to change from one company or regiment TO
another, in order to get clear of obnoxious OF
officers, and closed by remarking
that
"This may he the case with II certain North
crn New England regiment, portion of which
actually mutinied against the abolition Colonel
