his subsequent action. He led the mob.
What he and the others advised, he exc

urge in his speech just what he after
wards helped to do?
SIGNIFICANT.-While the offices of the
New York Times and Tribune were
threated with destruction by the mob in
New York, fhe establishments where the
Herald, News, World and Journal Of
Commerce are published, reposed in
quietude. In the language of Governor
Seymore, they recognized the mob as
" friends" How complacently the jour
nal Of Commerce talks of the situation
:" In our o,cn neighborhood all wos
quiet" We copy.the paragraph that the
people of the First Congressional District
may Judge of the character of the mob "
its actions:
At about half past seven a sudden
attack was made on the Office of the
Tribune. For few minutes the mob
had possession of the building, and a
considerable amount of damage was
done, when body Of police charged on
them, cleared the building and formed
strong guard around it. Night came
down on the city in condition not to be
described. From the roof of the Journal

lit the drifting clouds qcith red gloic,
and the shouts Of the mob came down to

bells hare scarcely ceased their loud call
from hour to hour; and the night
has been full Of alarms and app rehen-
siOns. At the moment of writing three

peared in the western part of th- city,
lighting the clouds; but we are ua&ble
to say whether it proceeded from the
work Of the rioters or from other causes.
A PENNSYLVANIA EDITOR ARRESTED
The ditor of the Gettysburg Compiler,
Democratic paper, has been sent to Fort
McHenry. 1t appears that Mrs Bueh-
Ter, the wife of the Postmaster, had Sc
creted number of Union soldiers in her
house, some of whom were wounded.
Upon the re-occupation of the town by
the rebels, the editor aforesaid disclosed
the fact to one of their officers, and at
the same time designated points where
arms and liquor. gould be found
TING to an extent that must crush that
organization. Having already given ex-
tracts from the speeches and newspaper
articles that melted and goaded the mob
to its deeds of blood, we copy the follow

pondcnt at New York, man who en-
ioys excellent opportunities for ascer-
tain,ng the facts He says:
"The draft on Saturday was bind.
It was generally allowed to proceed. But
ON Sonday the leaders had all their ar
rangements laid and the work begun.
Ten thousand men aud women met-the
Invalid Corps was attacked by women
and their arms taken away-the various
Provost Marshals' Offices were set on
fire. More than week ago the families
residing over these offices were warned
to vacate them, as they would be burned.
But the authorities took no heed. The
city is almost defenseless. All oul
troops have gone to the war, and New
, York is at the mercy of the mob.
