NEW York, August 8.
The Tribune prints the following: A
furious and bloody draft riot at Sugar
Grove, Warren county, Pennsylvania, is
described to us by a correspondent. He
says that when the draft began on Tuesday
morningau armed mob suddenly appeared
and ordered the Marshal to stop. He re-
fused, when the mob fired inio the room,
killing Marshal Hugh Quinn and three
others, and wounding several others. They
set buildings on fire and started to sack
the finest houses in the place. A negro,
who was nearly blind, was killed, and a
negro shop destroyed. The Home Guard
and citizens flew to arms, and in a short
time the rioters were confronted By a force
of about 100. The captain gave them five
minutes TO disperse; they refused, when
the Guards fred into them, killing the
leader and eight other rioters at the first
Volley. The mob returned the fire. killing
five citizens. They got another volley and
then the bayonets, and were put to flight,
running into building they had used as
q rendezvous. Here they surrendered,
and were finally taken to Jail. The peo-
pie were furious, and made desperate eff
forts to get at the villains and hang them
on the spot. 36 Of them were killed. Such
are the main features of the writer's de-
tailed account. We prefer to hold the let
ter back until some confirmation of the
rather large story arrives in the usual
course.
