riot occurred here to-day, which caused greater
loss OF property than at first supposed The attack
has been ascertained to have been regularly organ
lied. Throughout yesterday meetings held
in the upper wards of the city. About 10 o'clock
this forenoon, the rioters marched from the Sixth
and Ninth wards, through East w alter street to
MitchelPs Bank, attacking it with stones. Bricks
were thrown, Kidding the windows completely.
The cleg ks barricaded the doors in order to gain
time and secure the yaluabes which they did in
great measure. The mob then broke down the
doors, and stripped the room of every thing,
throwing the furniture and bolks into the street.
The State Bank, on the opposite corner, and J. b.
Martins office, then attacked and served in like
manner. The Bank of Milwaukee also stoned,
but little damage done.
Messrs. Allen & McGregor's real estate Office
was completely Quilted, and their books DESTROYED
The Jurean Bank also en- object of their

The Mayor and police were promptly on the
! ground, but they were utterly pow er ess One
company OF forty men, the Montgomery Guards,
ordered ont, but d. cined to do ANYTHING for
fear they would be 0verpOwered. The Xuusves

JAMES RIFLED CANSoN.-A large party Of inyi-
ted guests went down the Bay on Saturday on the
steamer hey State, to witGess experiments with
James Titled cannon made from tug-b0at char
tered for the occasion. The gun is liaed in the
| ordinary manner, with expanding twist, but the
| prnjecuie is peculiar. 1t is concal, with fringe
of lead and canvass at the base, which is forced
into the grooves when the gun is di. charged, and
completely fills them, ling any loss OF explo-
sive powder. Shells are constructed on the same
principle, which are exploded by a nipple at the
apex, which, when it strikes any object whatever
iguites charge inside by the agency of percus-
sion cap, aud blows the shell to atoms. The guns
used on Saturday were lOO-pouoder and brass
field piece, of the common G-pound caiibre, but
carrying a bolt weighing l3% lbs. No target had
beer set up, and the only object OF the experiments
was to demonstrate the long range of the gun and
explosive character Of the shells. This was salts
tactnrily done The small piece, at an elevation
of 10 degrees. sent shot over four miles, and the
large, elevation of IS degrees, carried shot no
less a distance. The shells invariably exploded
when they struck the water, scattering fragments
in every direction. The amount of powder used
in each gun was exactly one-eighth the weight of
the shot, or one-half much as the U. s. service
charge.-N Y. journal Of CONNIE

PENNSYLVANIA CHoPs.-Witbiu a few DAYS we
have passed through portions of DauPbiD, Perry,
Juniata, Miflin, huntingdon, Blair and Bedford
counties, and noted particularly the prospects
of the growing crops Fruit does not promise
abundanuy, STILL in nearly all these counties, there
more or less apPles-in Huntingdon and Blair
fully half a crop. OF pums, cherries and peaches,
there are few of the latter and none of the former.
The corn crop is backward, but there will be an
abundant Weld. Potatoes are also very promising.
The grain fields however, look magnificent, ana il
nothing intereres, the crop of cereals will be be-
yond precedent throughout the entire region we
eled.-Harrisburg Patriot.
