full Scenes.
We find in the Milwaukee wis papers full
particulars of the mob which attacked the
| banks in that city, a few days ago, because
they refused to redeem the bills of country
banks rs had been previously promised. From
the Daily Visions in's reports we take the fol-
lowing:
The mob first commenced at the Second
Ward Bank, about ten o'clock, and we are in
formed that they gathered about there in large
II bers, and soon cleaned out that ms titu-
tioD. of which Wm. II. Jacobs is President
Then they came surging down East Water
street, headed by a band of music. to Alex
Mitchells Bank, and gathered there by thou
sands. There were several indly iduals liz the
bank at the time, and they Were unable TO get
out. First they attempted to force open the
doors, but the doors were barred, and entrance
denied. Then the rocks began to fly into the
windows OF Mitcheli's Bal X, and also into the
windows of offices above and beneath the
bank. 1t was not long before the windows
were completely honey -combed. Great boul-
ders We're dug mp from the pavement, aud
hurled il with violence that must have re-
suited in killing any person, had he been
struck favorab!y by them. There was no par.
ticultr noise during the riotous proceedings,
except that there would be now and then Il
scout as the rocks flew through the windows.
and there was that continued Inuttering, ours
ing and talking which always eharaeteriz-s
MODS of this kind. Occasionally, as some
fright would arise, rhe crowd would retreat
in confusion, and discovering IL was fright
without cause, would advance again.
On the outskirts OF the crowd were peace
BILE citizens, looking on in amaZsment, and
not know wing what TO do, ncr what to look tor
next. The stairs to upper stories OF build
ings in the vicinity were crowded with men,
women and children. The windows OF The
buildings in the vicinity were filled with heads
OF both sexes, looking on the scene IN silence
and wonder. Everybody seemed spell bound,
although there We're many aud many who bit
their lips and knit their brows, ana felt with
in themselves, and sand 10 those next TO them,
that this GU TRACE had gone too far that the
citizens must rise up and pnt it down.
Meanwhii the men hau broke in to Mitch
ellis Bank and many OF them rushed in. Tney
were resisted by The few who We're inside
among them was Mayor Brown; but the mob
was too powerful for them Now they went
10 work at the counters, tearing them down,
cutting out the Windows, selzing ali the pa
peIs they could find, ana tossing them out III
The street. Property OF all kinds was hurled
in the street, and the bank was completely
xuLteQ. LUCKILY uOWSFcT, large pTOpOT
of the vaiuabies were in the vault, lnto which
the crowd were unable to enter. Mr. Mitchell
got out in sight OF the crowd and attempted to
speak. But stones and clubs few thicker ana
faster, the rabble roared, and he was obliged
TO retire.
Now came the turn of the State Bank di.
rectly opposite. 1t only needed a start, and
soon the windows of that Institution were
complet ely dashed in. A stone struck pne OF
the clerks, Mr.. Hayden, and injured him con-
siderably. Mr.. Inbusch, the President, bare
ly escaped being struck on the head with
rock. The destruction at that bank was
nearly as great as III Mitcheli's. They en- tered
and tore up all the counters. broke up the fur
niture, ana Quilted out everything. The same
violence was used in the banking office of J
II. Martin, under the State Bank. They at
forwards took all the furniture of these three
institutions, and piling il In TO the streets
with all the paper and books they could get
hold of, set them on fire. They also broke
the windows of the banking office OF nj r Bel
linger, under the State Bank, and Quilted out
his place of business. The same vandalism
was practiced upon the loan and insurance
agency office of Allis K McGregor. Rocks
were thrown into the windows of the Bank
of Milwaukee.
By this time Mayor Brown had ordered out
the Mon gomery Guards, but we understand
land il it Is SO, we regret to be compelled to
say it, that he ordered them out with blank
cartridges. This was only an invitation to the
mob to fight, and a reckless i'm perilling of tbs
lives OF the Guards. But tbs Guards march

Here the mob gathered about them, and for
s0me reason or other the guards soon retired
and marched back again TO their armory.-
Then the mob went TO their work OF destruc.
ton again, but the Indignation and anger of
the citizens had by this time become nDre-
strainable, and they detsrmi ned to arm them
selves with any thing they could get hold Of
and put down the mob, IT they lost their lives
thereby.
All this time Capt. Hbbard and his compa

act as soon as orders were given them from
proper sources. Gov. Randall had been teie.
