stretched out on steps or porches, leaning against
lamp posts or sitting on kerb stones. In the morn
ing and evening they filed the streets with vile
smells from frying pans and stews, and thronged
the sidewalks with greasy sandwiches in their
hands. The respectable portion of each of the
commands were sick and tired of the ndolent ife
and felt mortified that they should be compelled
to play policemen. when they had volunteered
"for the wars" The order was to leave the

so drunk that they could scarcely walk. The base
ment of the Custom House was used as a guard
house, and it was soon well filed.
The drunken soldiers reeed along the pavement,
insulted their superior officers, cursed yelled, and
INDUCED in the lowest vulgarity. Towards noon
guards were sent out to bring the drunken men in,
and every five minutes another inmate would be
added to the number. One resisted the guard, and
received cut which caused him to bleed profusey

eight was raised and soldiers came running from
all directions. The soldier turned down North
and then up Lexington street, and when near
