friend Of Capt Berry, formerly captain Of the
Charleston steamer Columbia, went down to
pier four, North river, and found an excited
crowd Of people in that neighboThood. They
were mostly countrymen OF the captain. Irish
men, and were breathing vengeance against
him for his well-kl.oWu sympathy with the
South.
The gentleman alluded to became satisfied
from their threats that the crowd was waiting
for the captain, and that there was danger Of
the application of lynch law. He accordingly
went aboard the vessel and advised Mr.. Berry
to leave Immediately, but he at first refused
to do So At last, however, ne seemed to have
been convinced that discretion was the better
part of valor, for he took passage IN steam
tug, and left for parts unknown.
