cheering him and drawing revolvers and firing at
the troops.

his pistol across his arm, and taking deliberate

through with a bayonet and fired upon at the

moved on, having received orders to march, and

promptly obeyed.

were four large size howitzers, two ten-inch NOR

Baton Rouge arsenal.
A thousand people left the city vest ter day after
in consequence of the reports of insubordina-

burn and sack the city; but the appearance of
General Harney's proclamation in a great measure
restored confidence, and many of those who left
will probably return to day.
The city is now quiet, and the highest hopes are
entertained that no rurther disturbance will occur.
