A SAMPLE OF THE RoBDERIrs.
A German grocer, named Lockmanns,
on Third avenue, between Thirty-ninth
and FOrtieth streets, was on Tuesday
night made the victim of terrible out
rage. He and his family, consisting of
a wife and four children, had retired for
the night, when between IL and IL
o'clock eight ruilians broke into the room,
and by threats of taking his life induced
him to show where he had some $50 hid
den.
Having secured this, they dragged his
wife and children out of bed and threat
ened TO take his hearts blood if he did
not show where the rest of his money
was. The poor man, benumbed with
fear, could only point to the place of
cOncealment for his money.
The robbers possessed themselves of
$500, and then left, after showering the
foulest epithets upon him and his help
less family. A gang of the same fellows
went to the German occupants of the
block on Third avenue, between Fortieth
and Forty first streets, and threatened
that if they did not join the rioters they
would set the whole block on fire.
CHEERS FOR JEFF. DAVIS.
Yesterday couple of men in their
shirt sleeves, on horseback, drove up TO q
crowd of rioters on Third avenue, near
Thirty third street, and called for cheers
for J eff Davis, and they were given with
will. One of these men was armed
with an AK handle and the other had a
revolver.
INSULT TO A FOREIGN CONSUL
On Tuesday, as Frederick Kuhre,
Esq, Consul for Hessee, Darmstadt and
several other German States, was riding
in his carriage with Mr. Remack past
Thirty sixth street aud Sixth avenue,
the horses heads were seized by two
stalwart ruilians, who demanded money
or liquor.
TIE gentlemen refused to parlcy at
that time, Mr. Remack saying that il
they did any thing at al, it would be
Tomorrow. The highway men then ran
TO the street gutter and scooping up
some slime and filth with their hands,
threw it upon Mr.. Kuhne and his COM
panion.
a boy, IL years of age, was brought
to the Station house of this Precinct late
on Tuesday night Some citizens from
the corner of Pitt and Delaney streets
found him dead in the street.
Late on Tuesday night, the rioters
visited the house of Mr.. Sinclair in
Twenty-ninih street. They had beer
informed that this was the residence ot
Mr.. Horace Greeley, and the threats o.
vengeance which were uttered were many
and loud, MIR. Greeley had formerly
boarded at this place, and the rioters be-
lieyed the premises were his. The mob
numbering about a thousand, made
fierce attack on the building, but for
time all their efforts to force the door
were useless. Meantime young maj
named Hyde mounted the front stOOp ani
addressed the crowd. He said, IL am
good Democrat, and am bitterly opposed
to the draft but | do not wish TO Sc,
private property destroyed. Mr., Greeley
does not reside here, and it is hard t.
see the private property of unoGendinI
citizens wantonly destroyed. 1t is un
just to plunder and burn this residenc
simply because Mr.. Greeley once boarded
here"
7 The mob could not understand th
iustness of this speech, and young Hyd
was at once seized by the leaders, hurle,
to the pavement and beaten by men, wo
men and children in the most cruel an
inhuman manner. just at the time whe
Hyde WAS believed to be expiring, a ma
named Wilson, residing in Twenty mint
street, aged about so years, was pointe,
out as Mr.. Greeley. The cry OF Greeley
rapidly spread through the crowd, an
the man Wilson was forthwith seizeC
his clothes entirely torn from his person
and he was most cruelty beaten upon Tia
head and body until be became uncon
scious. AT this point in the tragedy
Mrs. Wilson, the wife of the victim, ra
out from house opposite, and with up
lifted hands, aud agony of voice trul
pitiable to hear she implored the mo
for Heavens sake TO desist and not
kill her husband. This wild apes
caused q lull among the rioters, and
the meantime three men caught up IL
body OF Wilson and conveyed il TO h
residence. The crowd finding then
selves ioied in reference to Greelo
alias Wilson, Immediately turned the
attention to Hyde whom they swore the
would hang and burn If caught. In Il
midst Of this excitement the police mat
their appearance and scattered the rio
ers, not, however, until Mr.. Sinclair
house had been sacked aud robbed
every thing Of value.
Loud cheers were given for the Sa
E,press, Meios, aud other Copperhei
papers.
