About o'clock in the evening one Of the soldiers,

renee, and the soldier was badly injured
The soldier then went TO the camp, giving informa
ton of his having been beaten, and number Of his
comrades went to the Newkirk House, near where
the ARRAY happened. Mr.. Henry Newkirk was mis-
taken for the man that had beaten the colder, and
after an alrercation attack wac made upon the
house with stones and other missiles. The windows
end blinds were demolished, and the inmates Of the
house narrowly escaped from serious injury. Mr.

after the attack On the house and between three and
four hundred men assembled al the FIVE corners

with muskes 10 bring in all the soldiers that were
about the city. AS the squad Of men came near the
Newkirk House they were attacked by the citizens,

the disturbance was nabbed five or six times about
the head and body and is very seriously, If not
fatally injured. Coroner Donnelly iDterfered and
saved the life Of one Of the soldiers who armed

Of riot yesterday, and it raid, that in case Of
further difficulty the fire bells Of Hudson City, Jer-
sey City and Hoboken would be sounded, and that
as many as 5000 could be brought together for
an attack on the camp. II was deemed Advisable by
the authorities TO call out the Militia and the follow
ing companies Of the I'd Regiment were ordered to
hold themselves in readiness at their headquarters:
Co. A, Capt. Speer; Co. b. Captain Grain; Co. c.,
Capt. Van Buskirk; Co. d, Capt. Hopper; Co. E,
Capt. Lilliendahl Co. +, Capt Tonpele; Co. G,
Capt. Voohiesi Co. H, Capt. Dunning. IL was not
anticipated that any trouble would occur last night
unless the soldiers should become unmanageable and
make another attack upon the citizens. number
of special policemen were sworn in yesterday.
The citizens will insist upon having about 40 Of
the soldiers delivered up TO the authorities for trial.
and, in case Of refusal, an attack will probably be
made on the camp tonight. The regiment were
supplied with rifles yesterday forenoon During the
s,sy of the regiment, Col. Kozay will be strict with
the men, and will grant but very few passes. Some
OF the soldiers it is alleged while about the city
have insuted women TO such an extent as TO cause
bitter feeling against them. large number Of peo-
pie visited the camp yesterday, and great excite
Inent prevailed both there and in the city.
