were threatened by the mob this forenoon.
A detachment of the 65th New York mill
tia under Col. Behrend, and Q howitzers of
the militia were sent to the scene.
The mob came up with taunts, armed
with muskets and carbines, but merely
yelled furiously. AT first the troops took
no notice of this, and leaving Il detachment
with one howitzer at Stewards, marched to
the LIST Avenue. Here a party of Roughs
fired on them, and Adam Schaner, one of
the soldiers, was slightly wounded; The
troops wheeled into line and placed their
piece in position, but no further hostility
was attempted.
Jackson's foundry, opened the doors and
entered. The mob now fired on them sew
eral shots, which the soldiers. returned
with a CALLING fire, and several of the mob
were wounded. The howitzers were placed
in position to command the street, and
matters were quiet for an hour or two.
About two O'Clock reinfOrcementS arriv-
ed and the mob fired on them without eff
feet. Our soldiers took aim but were re-
strained from firing by the officers.
Mr.. Jackson now asked for the with
drawal of the troops from his Foundry.
Col. Brown replied, shall put my soldiers
where / please, and no mob shall dictate
to me where they shall be sent. He sent
orders to defend the place at all hazards,
gathered. A Lieut.. from the 65th regiment
reports his men retreated from the neigh
borhood of 18th street and LIST Avenue, be-
cause they heard the mob was getting
large.
Gen. Brown ordered the company back
under command of Lieut.. Pike, of the Uni
ted States Artillery, and placed Captain
Illbucker and Lieut.. Weyer under arrest:
The passion of the rioters was infamed
this afternoon by the funerals of some of
the victims of last nights fight.
Col. Lefferts reported his command 9th
Regiment to Gen. Brown this afternoon,
and was ordered to take control of the Dis
trict betweed eth and 9th streets, from
First Avenue to East River, and take all
means to suppress all mobs and riots.
All was quiet in Harlem and Yorkville
during the day. Senators Brady and Con-
molly requested the withdrawal of the troops
from the LIST ward, which was refused by
the police commissioner Acton and Gen.
Brown.
AT 4:3O p. m. a sharp fight was going on in
22d street, between I'd and Sd Avenue, be-
tween the soldiers and rioters.
The city will be patrolled by the military
tonight, and Gen. Brown is determined
tbs riot shall be put down tonight if he
kills every man found in crowd.
The 23d Brooklyn regiment is expected
here tonight, or in the morning.
Some fears are entertained OF trouble IN
Brooklyn tonight.
The troops in the county towns,of King
and Queens counties, are ordered into the
city. Probably however nothing more Sc
rious will take place.
Placards were posted about city from
Arch Bishop Hughes, requesting the riot
ers to assemble in front of his residence.
He promises them protection while listen
ing to his address.
1t appears that the Staten Island riot was
an insignificant affair. Three negro shan
tees were destroyed, and one negro beaten.
Fort Richmond is garrisoned by the 74th
regiment. The impression now is that
there will be no more rioting in the city to-
night, that the arrival of the military has
made the rioters wary.
One ringleader of the mob was captured
by the soldiers in 2lst st. to-day, he has
probably been hung. There is no truth in
the report of the burning of the Penkirk
House at Hudson City. The fire was the
Jersey City Horse r. r. Station.
