THE ARREST Ann IMPRISONMENT OF AN
DREwS.
The Times gives the following additional
statements with reference to Andrews, the
mob leader, whose arrest was announced
on Thursday:
"John Urkhardt Andrews, one Of the
ringleaderS of the mob, and who has done
more perhaps than any other man to fire
the passions of the rioters during the last
four days, was arrested by the Detective
Police between ! and IL O'clock yester-
day
1t will be remembered that Andrews
made speech to the rioters on Monday,
at the corner of Tmrty-ninth street aud
Third avenue, IN which he made an appeal
to the lowest and basest passions of the
human heart. He urged them to sack,
plumber and burn every building which
was known to be occupied by United
States official, and especially all premises
where the enrolment or draft was going
on.
The man is gifted with powers of ian
guage in no ordinary degree, and Judging
from the nature of his speeches made to
the mob during the last three days, he un.
derstands well the character and DISPOSE
ton of the crowd whom he addressed.
On Tuesday when the rioters were
burning the Station House of the Eigh-
teenth Precinct in Twenty second street,
he harangued the mob, and at that time in
| dulged in a most inhammatory TRADE
/ against all officers connected with the Uni
! ted States Government, and advised his
followers to plumber and sack the premises
aud private residences of every man who
! was in favor of the draft.
When, on Tuesday afternoon, Mayor
! Opdvke's house was visited by the mob,
Mr.. Andrews mounted the steps of that
residence and made a speech to them. He
urged them to burn it to the ground and
the language he used on that occasion
was of such an intammatory nature that
the passions of the drunken men and boys
who surrounded him We're raised to the
highest pitch of excitement. One wild and
prolonged cry of "Burn the Mayors house"
went forth from thousands of the rioters.
! Fortunately, Just at this critical moment,
Coroner Wildey appeared at the place,
and through his efforts and those of a
distinguished judicial officer of this city,
the Mayors house was for the time saved.
From thence Andrews headed the rio,-
ers, who marched through several streets,
he irequentl haranguing them and urging
them on to deeds of violence Meantime
the police authorities had marked their
man. Detectives Radford, Dusenbury and
McCord Yesterday effected his arrest al
the house, No IL, Eleventh street. He
was found secreted under a bed on the
third floor of this house. When he was
told he was a prisoner he begged
for mercy in tie most plteous terms
He was put in carriage and rapidly con
veyed to Police Headquarters, where, aftel
being confined few hours, he was thence
taken by the United States authorities
and safely lodged in Fort Lafayette. So bit
ter was the feeling against him that it wa
with the greatest difficulty that the officer
, could convey him to his prison house. Th
threats of vengeance against him wer
MANY and loud. If he could have beef
taken from thoss having him in charge
there is no knowing what would have beef
done.
} This man Andrews is we'll known t.

of trequenting the Police Courts Of thi

e State he left some seven years since an

we have said above, he is capable Of &C
/ dressing a mob in language calculated I
fire them up to the highest pitch of excit'

regarded him as one of the most DANCE

IS for this reason no pains have been spare
l. to effect his arrest. The police who d
- the job are entitled OF the thanks of Il
community for their successful labors."
" In connection with the mention made
is the foregoing hero, it may be well to &C
% here a brief extract concerning anoth,
public character;
io Capt. Isaiah Rynders, the 'indomltable

re of wonder have not ceased yet"
II The following is perhaps one of Il
worst cases of brutality which has bee
. yet recorded since the revolving scenes
n this riet have commenced to be enacted {:
to At late hour on Wednesday nigh
a colored man, whose name we could n
Il obtain, was passing along West Street,
at the neighborhood of Pier No 3 Nor
River. He was evidently laborng ma
