We received the New York papers this morn

in them some interesting incidents of the riots
Of The Copporhcads, who have resortcd to mur-
der, fire, and pipsgs, 10 order to vindieate Their
constitutional rights" and avoid the drah.
We were enabled yesterday afternoon TO pre-
sent to our reader sllsAs leading features of
the terrible scenes enacted In the devoted city
NJ h,ev York-deyotcd to the ma sbinatlons Of
the Mephistopheles Fernando Wovd and his
co-workers Of the Coppcrhead Peace party
and from our n,es OF fresh papers we collate
some accounts Of the more striking incidents
Of MONDAY in the black record by which New
York is seeking to thwart the Government in
It's efforts to put down the rebellion, by gnawing
her own vitals.
After leaving the Provost Marshars office the
crowd proceeded to cut the telegraph wires. For
this purpose large axes were provided aud soor
the wires hung dangling from their poles. This
was done evidently in order to prevent any COM

work which was then going on.

second street, resulting in the death OF two per-
sons, one Of whom, we are sorry to say, was
woman. A policeman fred into the crowd at
that locality, being In somewhat dangerous
position, the ball, II was said, entering the
Ireast Of woman, killing her instantly. The
officer was then energetically attacked; bars Of
iron, large sticks, and other weapons dealt him
heavy bl0ws, and, bleeding from almost every
pore, the fated man rushed into vacant lot;
but before he had gone far a ball lodged In the
the back part Of his head, when he fell to the
ground. He was soon after taken to St. Luke's
Hospital. There is no hope entertained Of his
recovery.
Another policeman, . sergeant In the ward,
secretcd himself In . house In Forty-second
street, but, being ferreted out by the crowd,
was assailed and beaten about the head and
back until lie was nearly killed. A body OF
thirty policemen, however, here charged upon
the crowd and rescued the sergeant from his
dangerous position. There werc also quite q
number Of these cases; but at this writing It II
impossible TO refer 10 but one or two OF thcs'
melancholy occurrences.
