INV YORK, UId 1oHKERs, July l5.
The mob reign has not yet closed, al
though to-day will probably witness its
end. 1t is notable that a vastly larger
number were engaged in it yesterday than
on Monday. All large manufactures are
closed, and the docks and ship yards have
suspended operations. The object of the
rioters yesterday was unquestionably
plunder. At noon yesterday the rioters
turned out about 6, 900 strong, and attacked
the Union Steam Works, corner of Twenty
second street and Second Avenue. 81
AttWo o'clock 300 police arrived. The
rioters were in possession Of the building,
and finding their escape impossible they
made an assault on the police, who shot
five OF the mob. About twenty remained
in the building. The rioters becoming
desperate assaulted the police, who killed
fourteen Of the ruflans. Four were killed
and number injured by jumping from
the second story windows.
As the dead were borne from the scene
men, women, and children ran bowling
through the streets in the most frantic
manner. The rioters were then dispersed,
and the police held the building. Yester-
day morning, the mob gutted the house of
Colonel 0'Brien, Of the Eleventh N. Y.
Volunteers, who he'd rendered his services
to suppress the riot. A force Of 800 po-
licemen here charged the mob, and drove
the rioters into houses, the officers chasing
them all over the buildings and Telling
them with their clubs. A detachment Of
the Eleventh regulars reached the scene,
and aided in disPer 1iug Jne mob. Colonel
Rrfar Nuhn u
crowd, was set upon and beaten to death
almost instantly, the crowd afterwards
amused themselves by firing at his head
as he lay on the sidewalk, and afterwards
hung him to lamp-post; he was then
taken down and thrown Into the street,
where his body remained up to S o'clock
last evening.
Governor Seymour addressed the crowd
from the City Hall, imploring them to re-
frain from violence and he would see their
rights were protected. He was their
friend and there was no occasion for re-
sistance, for the draft had not been en-
forced. II they would disperse he would
promise no Injustice should be done in the
matter of conscription and the rights of
themselves and families should be fully

The mob fired the Ferry House at the
foot of 42d street.
Early in the morning the rioters assem-
bled on 9th Avenue at the mayors house
and broke the plate-glass windows. Colo
mel ManViere and a few friends, with
clubs and reVolvers, checked them until
they were relieved by the police and Uni
ted States soldiers.
The mob made furious onslaught OF
the negro dwellings in 85th street. bu
fortunately the occupants had been away
for safety to the station house. The oroWC
then made charge on the station house
but we're repulsed and finally dispersed b!
