New YORK. Sept. IA.
The report that the flag that Mai. Anderson

MEMPHIS, Sept. ii.
Refugees who lately arrived within our
lines, brings exciting reports of the terrible
condition of affairs in the South. One more
who left Mobile on the 5th, states that there
was a terrible riot of soldiers wives in Mo-
bile on the 4th inst. Abont GOO women and
children collected on Spring bill, and with
clubs and hatchets in their hands, marched
thaongh the streets, carrying banners, on
which were inscribed Bread or Peace" and
other such Inscriptions. Being soldiers wives,
their proceedings were winked at by the
soldiers. who made but feeble resistance.
The stores were broken open. A merchant
jew struck one of the women and the police
men beat him severely. Many citizens left
town, among them was our informant, who
says the riot was increasing when he left.

N ATT Il n 3 A BOUT TOWN.
The Vote in the City.


The election in this city yesterday, passed
off quietly. There was large vote thrown,
and everything went off in the most orderly
manner. The vote is the largest cast since
1850, and it shows the largest majority thrown
in the city since the election in 1854. The
Democrats were in hopes of reducing the
Union majority to about that of the MunicIp-
al election last spring, and had used every ex-
ertion with money and coercion induce people
to vote against the Union ticket But their ex-
ertions were of no avail. The true friends of
the Union and the Administration rallied to
the support of the ticket pledged to support
the PresideHt 10 his measures to put down
the rebellion, and the result was a glorious
one.
We give below, the full vote of the city,
showing majority of $40 for Mr.. Cony over
Mr.. Bradbury.
