 bloodshed and robbery in New York is at last put down and peace again restored. During Wednesday the negroes were hunted, driven about. and hanged. as on the previous days, and hundreds of the unfortunate creatures fed terror-stricken from the city. Around the 35th st. arsenal numerous skirmishes took place. and extreme measures had to be adopted by the military authorities. The multitude was exposed to the fire of howitzers, and several persons were killed. A serious conflict be- twee9 the mob and the military occurred at o'clock in the evening in 18th street, and an- other at II o'clock. Large numbers were killed, but the military were masters ofthe field. Many of the acts of the rioters were fendish, especialy in their treatment of inofensivs negroes, but one of the most sickening datails of the mgrderous acts of the mob, is the murder of Col. O'Brien. of the 11th New York. He was attacked by the mob whilo coming out of drug store-some two blocks from where his troops were stationed-kicked, beaten and stoned, until he was sensless, This occurred about o'clock and he breathed until o'clock, being constantly subjected to the ipdignities E of the mob, who refused to allow him to be re- moved, or to permit any one to render him any assistance, and when humane druggist went to give him drink of water, the mob entered his store and gutted it from end to end.
 Rioters on Wednesday night set fire to ele- vators and other property at the Atlantic Docks, causing loss of seventy or eighty thousand dollars. ss ji4 sEE.t Superintendent Kennedy was at the Police Headquarters Thursday morning. He was in very weak condition. and presented an ap- pearance of hard treatment. ..se

 Andrews, is tall man, with long, light colored beard, and rather fine looking. By profession he is a lawyer, but it is reported that he has lately been occupied as writer for the New York Daily Neos His last public performance was speech to the rioters, whose conduct be warmly applauded, and whom he offered to lead,':if they could find nobody else to do it." t.a
 Fifty.fopr persons. wounded in the three days riot, have been received at Bellevue Hospital. Of this number t,oentyjfue have died. Most of thtss victims were rioters.
 The 7th 10th, 65th and 74th New York, and 26th Michigan regiments arrived Wednesday night, and with several batteries of artillery in the service, together with ctAer troops and special police, have overawed the rioters. The rioters finding that rough treatment awaited them, concluded they had gone about as far as they could in safety. So the great New York riot is now put down, and the draft will go Qn, and will be rigidlY enforced there and every where else.

 The coppeyheads in the city council of New York argue for armed rebellion in that state against the federal government. It is no won der that mobs follow upon the teachings of such leaders. The appropriation to buy of all copscripts ill New York city, was carried after such talk as the following from Couneiman Sandford .,-.. . ..-...;...
 "Mr. Sandford said that the $500, conscrips ton clause was the occasion of all this trouble. So far as he was concerned, he would vote for any amount of money to permit poor men to remain at home with their families. but, so far as his private opinion was concerned, he would not vote for single map or single dollar for the further prosecution of the war. The ey- ecutive cannot get the number of copSpripts he has called for to put down the rebellion, consequently IL caunoG pe put uQWn. lRe nn- ly way by which the rebellion could ba put down was to withhold men and money--=let us have peace congress-let there be cessation of hostillties, aud, in the language of Richard O'Gorman, arm the citizens of New York to the teeth, if necessary, under Gov. Seymour"
 The Isi5uae office, on Tuesday night, had about one hundred and fifty men in it, armed with guns and pistols, and large quantity of navy yard bombs, to be used as hand grenades. The Times office was equally well prepared for the rioters. If the mob had attacked either office that night they would have suffered ter rible loss. ze
