New HAVEN, July 1.-THE evening Post,
just received here by steamer, contains the
following:
The diSgraceful riots Of yesterday were re-
sumed at an early hour this morning in the
upper part Of the city. Bodies of the rioters
visited the large manufacturing establish
ments, compelling the workmen to fall into
their ranks Other gangs forbade the loading
Of vessels at the docks, under the penalty of
| total destruction of the ships PIllage has
been the order of the day. Several houses
have been sacked. New conhagrationS are
occurring, and the crowds which were hourly
| increasing up to noon, reaten more serious
work during the remainder of the day
The greatest crowd this morning assembled
at an early hour on Sd avenue between Both
and 10th streets. 1t is estimated that the
number of rioters in that part Of the city
reached from 10000 to $4,000 persons. This
mob extended through the streets on either
side of Sd avenue to I'd and 4th avenues.
They were principally armed with stones,
though few had guns taken from Mr. OPP
| dykes armory.
At l o'clock this morning body of $50 po-
hcemen, under inspector Carpenter, were as"
! sailed with bricks and paving stones while
passing Though ID avenue The policemen,
upon the word. charged upon a row of tene-
ment houses between Both and 3lst streets,
and amid a shower Of stones entered the
building and elected the mob. The buildings
were then fired by the mob, but the flames
were soon extinguiShed.
In 34th street at about o'clock, one com
pany of u. S. marines, one company of Fire
Zouaves, the 18th regiment of New y Ork vol
unteers, and company of the 18th regulars
| from Fort Schuyler, together with company
of artillerymeu, with two pieces of ordnance.
arrived on the ground where the rioters had
| assembled in great force. Col. O'Brien had
charge Of the troops, and marched his COM
mand through the crowd down Sd avenue He
| ordered the rioters to dispense, and repeatedly
fired his revolver upon them, wounding two of
| their number. As the crowd increased two
howitzers were placed in position at the cor
ner of Both street, when three rounds of blank
cartridges were fired. The mob fled, but soon
re-assem5ed in smaller crowds, andincensed
at the attack of the troops, inefficient as it
was, threatened to resume the riotOuS pro-
ceedings. Many proceeded to their homes to
obtain firearms, with which they threatened
loudly to overpower the troops.

U. S. infantry from forts Lafayette, Hamilton,
and Richmond were marching through Pitt
street, under command of Lieut.. Wood, they

ali hazards, they fired upon the crowd, and
several persons are said to have been killed.

bled with violent demonstrations in front of
the Tribune building. A company of intan-
try appearing at that moment, the rioters
quickly dispersed. Gov. Seymour shortly
after addressed the mob from the steps of the
City Hall. The gist OF his address was that
he had sent to Washington with request that
the government wouldsuspend the draft; that
he desired to protect the people, and implored
the crown therefore to respect the rights of
persons and property, promising them that he
would see that everything was made Sa is
tastory.

red, the employed being compelled to stop
work by threats of the rioters. The mail train
on the Hudson river railroad due at New York
at 1870 A. NJ, was stopped at SD street by
the rioters and overhauled to see if any sol
diers were on board. None being found. the
train was suffered to proceed. Subsequently
a mob of 1000 persons proceeded to the Hud-
son River railroad depot and threatened to
destroy it. A body of infantry and battery
OF artillery were sent there. A soap chan
dler's establishment on 10Th street, between
9th and 10th avenue was completely gutted.
