buildings This feeling is general everywhere
in New York, and the police arc utterly pow
erless to protect the blacks, as events OF Mon
day and yesterday fully demonstrated. Men,
women and children stealthily wend their way
to the station houses every night to seek protec-
ton, being positive y afraid to sleep In their
own dwellings. Last hight, in one station,
twcnty-eight colored women, and quite as
many children, sought protection from the
fury of the multitude. In many eases they
wero followed by crowds, and some OF them
severely beaten.
ANOTHER ATTACK on TIE TRIBUNE" OFFICE.
The crowd made another attack on the
Tribune" Office yesterday afternoon They
attempted to fire the building, but the reams
of paper, with which the Office was protected
since the attack of Monday eveing, being wet,
prevented them from accomplishing their pur-
pose. The police force soon afterwards arrived
fand dispersed the gathering.
SCENES AT NIGHT.
When the evening closed the exeitemen. in
creased. 70 The armed crowdsaHhiclrh had mark
ed the day with fire and slaughter, were still
on the alert to exhibit their strength and over
awe the authorities. Fire bells, sending out
peals Of alarm, were constantly heard, and
| every scene Of flames brought vast throng,
who seemed to revc in the awful destruction
Of the hour.
What would the angry and unauthorized
cnncoursc accomplish at night, under cover
of the darkness? formed the anxious thought
of many. 1t was anticipated that they would
Apply the torch to sundry public and private
buildings, and there were those who actually
profcsscd to give an insight to the programme
of ruin. The houses Of United States officers,
hitherto undsturbcd, were to he sacked ard
THE UP TOWN WARDS.
Up to and past midnight there were large
groups of men and women Oh the street cor.
ncrs of the up town wards, who conycrscd
| freely on the draft dcnUuncng it and promis
ing vengeance to all who should be connected
with its enforcement. The women were par
| ticularly bitter against the CONSUMPTION.

AVENUE, BETWEEN 18TH AND .ilsT SITS.
Previous to the attack on Allcrtons Hotel
the crowd Of persons were attacked by Il de-
tachmcnt Of lnvalids, some forty in number.
The crowd soon ovcrcamC them and wrcStcd
their muskcts from them, with which they
beat them over their heads and some nine of
the soldiers were carried away terribly mutt
lated In some instances the women drew the
bayOnets from their suckcts and plunged them
into the. already wounded soldiers. Blood
| covered the parements and streets in many
places when our reporter visited the scene at
| about five o'clock on Monday evening.

will attempt to retake the station house.
BARRLCADEs on THE FIRST AVENUE.
| Late in the afternoon the rioters commenced
to barricadc First avenue, near Eleventh street,
and First avenue, near Fourteenth street.
The telegraph poles, which they hal torn
down, were used for these barricades, together
! with numerous carts, which had been picked
up in the adjacent streets. At Thirteenth
street two street-swecping machines, which had
been captured the previous evening" were burn
ed amid the shouts of the men, women and
boys who thronged the avenue.

there to disperse the mob.
Gov Seymour received information last
night that the draft was positively suspended,
and that large number of regiments were
continually arriving in this city, and that a
sufficient force would be sent to put down the
rioters.

mob they fell back at some distance from the
| Colonel, who went forward near the crowd,
having his sword and 4 revolver in his hands.
when he was Immediately set upon, surround
ed and so drcadfuly maltreatc,l that he cX-
pired in short time after. His body lay
| dead on the sidewalk for some time, and some
Of the more ticndish in the crowd amused
themselves by firing several pistol-shots az
his head, after which the body was strung up
to the nearest lamp:poSt, where it remained
for some time. 1t was afterward taken down
and thrown again in the street, and had not
been moved up to s o'clock last night. The
reasons given by some of the rioters for such
treatment were that the military had shot Il
mother and her child.
The Board Of Aldermen are to meet by spe-
cial call Mt II o'clock Tuesday morning when
| an ordinance probably will be introduced to
raise fund sufficient to pay the communication
fee of poor men in the city who may be draft
ed, or 10 pracurc substitutes for them ut $500
each.
| TIE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July II, lSG3-Thsha has been
a gloomy day in Washington; the joyous an
ticipations Of bagging the whole Of Lees
army were this afternoon dissipated by the
official information that the rebel army had
escaped, and succeeded in crossing the Po-
tomac without another battle and leaving in
our hands only fifteen hundred prisoners and
two pieces of artillery.
The disappointment was aggravated by the
intelligence coming every hour Of the in
crcasinc virulencc Of the people in New York,
and the spreading Of the mischievous spirit
among the towns of New England. Nothing
else has been thought or talked Of here to-day.
| Much chagrin is expressed in official circles
at Gen. Meade's having permitted the enemy
to escape without another fight.
The trouble in Now York is regarded here
as the result of deep laid plans of disloyalsts
and rebel refugees, who have made resistance
to the draft only pretcxt for an effort to cause
| embarrassment to the Government.
| General Hooker had 4 long tcte-u-tsfs with
the Secretary of the Treasury this morning.
II is stated that Gen. Mcdowell is to be or
dared to duty in New York city.
