TIE SECOND DAYS RIOT.
The "Timcs" says the rioting on the next
| day (Tuesday) was engaged in by vastly
| larger numbers than on Monday, and the
spectators of the disorderly scenes were in
creased also by many thousands. This may
| be accounted for by the, fact that all the large
manufacturing establishments IS were closed,
labor on the docks and ut the ship-yards was
suspended, and every branch of business was
arrested, leaving thousands of persons at lib
erty to participate in the eXccsses, either pas
sively as pectatorS, or in an active manner.
We have only space to make an abstract of
the account Of the riot, which oc cupics nearly
eight columns in the "rimes"
In the Second Avenue, the rioters to the
number of about 5000, took posse ssiun Of the
Union Steam Works, in which the arms taken
fr"m the Arsenal, on Monday, had been
stored A fight with the police cnsued, in
which If persons were almost instar tly killed,

Of the building. The Police retained posses

same avenue the insurgents assembled in for

pressing the mob. gutted it thoroughly, had
an engagement with the police. in which they
captured Col. O'Brien, Killed him and hung
his body to lamp-post. 1t was afterwards
taken down and thrown into the street, and
up to eight o'clock at night had not been re-
| moved.
Governor Seymour arrived at half.past l2. and
addressed crowd from the steps Of the city
hall, promising fhe people that no .injustice
should be done them by the draft, and advising
! them to dispcrse. Some soldiers making their
| appearance in the vicinity were honted by the
crowd in the widest manner. The Governor is
sued proclamation, declaring his intention to
put down the riot by force.

| q number Meantime, cannon were posted in
warrior streets and blank cartridges fred which
only succeeded in dispensing the crowd for a few
moments, when they would appear in full force
and menace the military with threats of ven
! geance.
The Mayors residence on Fifth avenue was
| broken open and the windows smashed early in
! the morning
The city cars were stopped and tho railroad
| tracks torn up to prevent the cars conveying
! troops up town.
The vessels in the harhor were compelled to
cease loading, and all places OF business werc
closed Tho gas house on 42d street. the head
quarters Of the Provost Marshal of the Fifth Dis
trict Harris Hotel, and eight or ten buildings in
| the vicinity, we've set fire to and burned. In va
rious parts of tho city private residences were
! sacked and then given to the flames. Stores
were everywhere plundered, especially jewelry
establishments. No part of the city appears to
have been exempt from tho riot. The negroes
suffered extensively. Many of them were killed
and their houses burned or torn to the ground.
The incidents of bloodshed. rapne and law
lessness, with which the New York papers are
crowded, reveal the existence of a reign Of terror
during the first two days of the riot which prom.
ises to expand into very carnival of murder
and destruction, to which the annals of Paris fur
nish no parallel.
Governor Seymour issued proclamation, on
the second day, declaring the city and county in
Estate of insurrcction.
The spirit of the riot appears to be contagious.
| On the same day it broke out in Hartford, Conn,
and troops were sent to protect the armory and
arsenal.
! SCENES IN TIE NEGRO eUARTERs-GREAT DE-
sTRUCTIoN OF rRoPERTY-oSE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY NEGROES KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The negroes of this city are certainly in q
ver%unfortunate cOndition-that is, those who
! arc left behind. Since Monday night large
numbers have departed for mere congenial resi-
denccs. Hundreds have gone to Brooklyn,
and many more to New Jersey, while all
trains and steamboats, leading to the interior
have been almost overrun with the flying
blacks. A perfect reign of terror exists in
the quarters of these helpless people, and if
; the troubles which now agitate our city con-
tinue during the week it is believed that not a
. single negro will remain within the metro
politan limits.
1t sad to see the fear with which the few
negroes left So upon the street in order to
procure the bare necessaries of life. One Of
our reporters, yesterday, while walking
through Sullivan street-a great negro quar-
