The Herald says:
The reign of violence and bloodshed con-
tinucd all day yesterday, Notwithstanding the
vigorous measures adopted by the authorities
| to check it. Tho announcement Of the sus-
pension of the draft seemed to have OCCASION
ed no abatement i'll the popular excitement
| As will be seen from our cOlnous reports, ire
uuent collisions between the military and the
populace occurred, and numbers OF lives were
sacrificed, while an immense amount 0l prop
| erty was committed to destruction. In one Vi
the fights it is stated that forty dead bodies
were left on the field Of conflict. The poor
| negroes were hunted, driven about and hang
| ed, Just rs on the two previous days, anu hum
dreds of the. unfortunate creatures lied terror
stricken from the city. There were scenes oil
| violence to be witnessed i'll every quurtcr.--
Around the Tnirty-ilth street arsenal numcr-
GUS skirmishes took place, aud extreme meas
| ures had to be adopted by the military author
tiles. The multitude WAS exposed 10 the tire
of howitzcrs, and several persons were Killed.
TIE DISTURBANCE CONTINUES.
In its editorial department, the " Herald L
has the following:
There was little abatement in The display Ul
| violence manifested hy the excited pcoplc
throughout the city yesterday. Notwi:ilstand.
| ing the order of the Mayor, announcing that
| peace was restored, and the proclamation oi
| Governor Seymour, invoking the inlurIatcd
crowd to retire 10 their homes, promising pro-
| lection to the rights Of the citizen, and tn.
yindication of the law, scenes as violent and
more bloody than on Tuesday were enacted in
| various quarters Of the city. The people
seemed more desperate than ever, and the mil
itary force employed, though strong, were
| repulscd in different localities. Under these
circumstances the citusion of blood and the
destruction of property were very great
| The excitement was intense. Ii WAS more
it was undoubtedly alarming and appal-
| ling.
There can be no doubt that authority had,
for the time, to succomb to popular passlon.-
Private proper ty suffered terribly from incen-
darism, principally in the houses of the ne
groes. Up toa long time past midnight the
city presented an appearance which seemed to
| moderate the hopes entertained IN the morn
/ ing that the trouble was at an end. We will
trust however, that the love Of order, which
never failed to allay popular tumult in this
city, will prevail over the spasmodic excite
| ment which, for the time, disturbs the usual
peacefulness OF our metropolis.
Now that the draft has been positively sus-
| pended, there does not seem to be any reason
why those who felt themselves aggrleved by
its enforcement should lend further aid to the
| disturbcrs of the peace, and thus give color to
| q movement which must necessarily resolve
itself into raid upon private property and in
dividual rights the natural tendency Of eucn
! an ebullihOn Of popular. excitement in all
great cities, as we now witness. Wisdom.
| moderation and the voice of reason may allay
| spirit nursed by Il presumed sense oi wrong,
and fostcrcd by success and the flood Of pas-
sion, which always carry the masses to cx-
casses which are to be, and will. no doubt be
hereafter, deplorcd equally by those who in
hict the suffering and by those who suffer.
DISTURBANCES IN OTHER PLACES.
Disturbances occurred in Boston, Newark
Yorkville, Harlem, Brooklyn, jamaica. West
| chester and other places, but the outbreaks
were on u very small scale, except at Brook
lyn. Here there was 4 great confagration of
which the "IIerald" makes tho following no.
| tice:
About eleven o'clock last night dense
crowd Of men attacked the covered grain clc-
yators AMI factories along the river pier in
BROOKLYN, setting fire to them. The fumes
spread with wonderful rapdity, and the build
| ings and contents were destroyed. As the
| flames shot athwurt the heavens the light could
be seen for miles distant. The loss will he
immense, but we have no means Of learning at
| this late hour anything definite on the subject.
| The crowd afterwards set fire to the Hamilton
avenue ferry house, which was entirely dcS'
troyed. The boats were all stopped running,
and no means of crossing the river afforded.

| The Newark House, large and substan-
| tally built hotel. standing ut the junction OF
the roads leading TO Jersey and J1obokcn
