lio,o she village ef Ozaukee snd parsdsd the
! streets with banners on which were inscribed
/ " No Draft" At a PreeonceTtad signal-the
! firing of two esnuOn-they marched to the
/ court house where they found the commissioners,
I Mr POrs. had iuss commenced operations. The
mob Immediately attacked the court house, the
commissioner fed, portion Of the multitude
pursuing him and assaultiDg him with stones,
brickbais and other missiles, until be took ietuge
/ in the postoffice. The other portion continued
! sbeir assault on she court house. and destroyed
/ the pspers and other machinery connee5ad Wlth
! the drsit-
The commissioseT having escaped from the
hands Of .he riolers, they turned round sno
wreakei their Tengesncs upon several eminent
citizs ms who had bean c0uy selling obedience to
/ the laws. Among those sssaUlted and beaten
! we're s. A. White, the county luGge L. lows
! lev. the district attorney; Judge DoFs, register
OF deeds, and A N. B.4ir, l,aiinZ lawyer. All
! these gentlemen were severely injured and mar
rovly escaped with their lives. Il is reported
/ that Judge Downs had his leg broken.
The rioters then commenced destroying pTi-
vsts propesty. The HOUSES Of Mrs POrs Mr.
Leomis, Mr. Blair, Dr. S iilmzu and H
| HINT were sacked. The Ozsukee sore mills
were lsveled to The ground. They seizad the
proprietor with the purpose OF taking his lite,

wsris escaped 70 this city
Previous 70 this they had obtained I'll the
sherif-s pepeTs In connection With ihe dIsh and
destroyed them.
The house Of Commissioner POIs wss also
visited with particular vengeance. The fuIni-
ture was smashed ur and dumped out on the
street Jllies, jsa.s srd preserves were FoRTed
over The Brussels carpets, ans ladies' personal
apparel torn into shreds.
The mob continued in their bigh-handed c.
reCT, sud every person who was known 10 ba
peaceful, laW-sbi1ing and law obeyiDg citizen
was threatened with violence 10 his person and
property In many cases The threats were car
risd out vita fearful exsctness.
We are confident the leaders in this riot will
bs dealt with summarily. We believe The hody
Of the peopls thsre have been lsd On hy dssiga-
frg. fsctioas men, who are never content unless
engaged j. s0ne Ti0tCus proceeding, no matter
what It's nature. if il only be resistance % the
lawfDl coHst tofsd auth Tity. Pillage ard plum
der is their great OBJ ct, and they have led On
innocent, unsuspee'ing psople 70 commit Their
devilish deeds under the cry of " No D AFT" We
expect these modern Santerres and MaTsts viii
be caged

Seventy Of the rieters have been captured and

Some pIOmiHent citizens of Port Washington are

:. ruin.
