MILWAUKEE,, Tuesdsy, June, Is, 1s61-12x.
Affairs to day, though very much unsettled,
arc quiet and the mob seems to have been
entirely cowed, though it Is manifest from the !
mutteriogs heard that the strong military
force IN the city is its only safety. The oc:nr-
rences Of yesterday have capsed sad and
so11owful feeling IN the heart Of every good
cltizen-and one which, II pecuniary 1oas
would wipe It out, they would glhdly make
the sacrifice. q. g.
Many Incidents occurred yesterday, which
served to show the dangerous md inf ammable
character Of mobs, and jet how powerless
they beeomc when deal: with promptly aud
resolutely. Perhaps the incidents haught
with the greatest peril to human life, OCCUR
red about o'clock in the afternoon. The
mob had taken possession of the brass six
pouudern belonging to The Washington Artil-
lery Company, and loaded, them with heavy
charges OF chains, nnils, and Sings. Captain
Hersberg, Of the Artillery, endearored to keep
the guns In his care, but his men, under
threats from the mob, would not obey him.
The Zouayes, and detachment from the Rs-
cine companies, we're despatched to capture
the guns st all hazards. They proceeded to
the ground, took position right in the teeth
of the cannon, cooked their muskets, and
Captain Hubbard gave the. order that II = Gin
gle muscle w5s moved toWard the guns by the
riotc1s, to shoot them down without cere-
nony. The mob became much e11aged
the1eat, and brandiEhed knives and pistols
freely, but not = man moved toward the guos
The horses we're then hitchcd on, and guard
ed By the military. The cannon were taken
off and planted 80 IS to guard Spring street
bridge aud Main street, from the North-more
for the purpose 0! keeping them out Of the
hauds ct the rabble, thna from ary idea that
itTould be necessary to use them. They
stI1l remain In position, and the streets and
je:l a=c guarded by files Of soldiers.
Last night, about II o'clock, several messen-
gers who had been watching the movements
and reported thst procession CT about one
hundred had just gone up to destroy the L.
Crosse Railroad Round House, they having
threatened TINT Company's property for the
part they took in the currency matter. 4
guard OF twenty-five Zorayes were at once
cent up and arrived Just In time to frustrato
their designs, they having commenced to tear
down and bum. Although they were REIN
forced by another crowd, they did not effect
auy mischief, the guard faithfully protecting
everything. Much credit is due to the brave
zoraTea for their efficiency throughout the oc-
cu1rence- By their cool courage and resolute
action they we're most effective in restoring
order, they drew forth the loudest plaudits
from the citizens.
To-day financial circles are still a. much ex-
cited as ever. There Was much anxiety to

resume tomorrow. A meeting Of bankers
