was pressed upon, when the troops in
one of the cars fred a yolley into the
citizens The balls struck in the brick
walls of the dwellings, dashing out pieces
of brick, and making large holes in the
walls. The fire was returned from seve-
raj points with guns and revolyers, and
with bricks by the crowd. Several SOL
diers we're wounded here, but it is thought
no citizens were struck by the bullets of
the soldiers. The faces Of many of the
soldiers, as seen through the car windows,
we're streaming with blood from cuts re-
ceived from the shattered glass of car
windows, and from the missiles hurled
into them. Several wounded, supposed
to have been shot in their passage along
Pratt street, we're taken out of the car in
bleeding and fainting condition at the

other cars.

though without hitting any one, SO far as
could be ascertained. After firing this
yollcy the soldiers again broke into run,
but another shower Of stones being hurled
into the ranks at Commerce street with
such force as to knock several Of them
down, the order was given to another
portion Of them to halt and fire, which
had to be repeated before they could be
brought to halt. They then wheeled
and fired some twenty shots, but from
their STOPPING and lodging to avoid the
stones, but four or FIVE shots took effect,
the marks Of greater portion of their
balls being visible on the walls of the adj
jacent warehouses even up to the second
stories Here four citizens fell, two Of
whom died in few moments, and the
other two were carried of, supposed to
be MORALLY wounded.
