The Murder Of Col. O,Brien.

The following extended account OF the
atrocious murder of Col. O'Brien of the
18th New York volunteers, by the mob of
New York, on Monday last, is copied from
the Tribune of Wednesday, to which pa
per it was furnished by the Rev. Mr..
Clowry, a Roman Catholic clergyman,
who was an eyewitness of the scene he
describes:
"Col. O'Brien, early on Monday volun-
teered his services and those Of his regi-
ment (the 18th New York Volunteers),
to assist in putting down the mob, and this
fact becoming known to the crowd of rot
ers, highly ncensed them, for they ap-
peared to think they had a sort of a claim
GA their countryman, if not to assist them
at least not to take up arms against them.
Col. O'Brien was given command Of de-
tachment of U. S. Marines in addition to
his own regiment.
Before, however, his soldiers had ar
rived, he appeared in front of his house in
full uniform, with his sword in his hand,
and proceeded nearly two blocks out of his
way, near to where the crowd was collected,
and began to upbrald them in the most in
temperate language. He is said to have
applied to them terms which cannot be
presented in print, and continued to do so.
His language seems to have been uncalled
for.
The crowd at this time offered no vio-
lence and only replied with muttered
threats. The Colonel then retired indoors
and remained some time. In the interval
his command of troops had arrived and
formed in line near Both street and Second
avenue The Colonel came out and put
himself at their head, and having complet-
ed his military dispositions he left them
and proceeded to the drug store of Mr.
Tudor, corner of 34th street and Second
avenue, which he entered to make some
slight purchase.
Having procured what he wanted, he
came out and the crowd having gathered
somewhat nearer to the door than they had
been before, he cooked his revolver and
advanced directly toward them. Wheth-
er on this occasion be used more intemper-
ate language is not known, but as he
| came forward woman took up stone and
! threw it toward him, which did not trav-
erse more than half of the distance be-
tween them, but on the instant the Co O.
| mel presented his revolver and fired. The
ball being aimed low struck the earth,
ricocheted and struck the woman on the
knee. She instantly fell, and from that
moment the Colonel's fate was sealed.
I he mob made rush at him, and in an
instant be was knocked down, trampled
under foot, and the heartless, cruel mob
were upon him. His revolver was taken

THE CoNsCRIpTIoN.-Walt 0n's jour
nal calls attention to the fact that those
who declare the Consumption law uncon-
stitutional, at the same time admit that
the President may call for volunteers, or
call out the militia, or BOTH Well the
Government has called for volunteers, and
is calling for them now, but the men do
not come fast enough. Now what if we
shall drop the draft and call ont the miIatia?
What will be the effect as to the persons
liable to do military duty 1t is simply
this: every man between the ages of Is
As years of age is liable to be ordered into
the service whole families, neighborhoods,
towns and counties may be stripped of all
able bodied men, and all the exemption
mercifully provided in the CONSUMPTION act
would be lost. New York, Pennsylvania,
and New Jersey have recently called out
the mlltia-not by a Dir #, which dis
tributes the men widely, but by regiments,
which sweeps every man. De the mob
want that ? Does anybody want it z Does
anybody wish to see every able-bodied
man in Montpelier, or Washington Coun-
ty, exemptng nobody, to be ordered into
the army ? We repeat that this would
be jumping out of the frying pan into the
fire. Even if the militia were to be draft
ed, the draft would be worse than TIE con-
scrption, because the liberal exemption Of
the latter would be cut off. The fact is
that Congress considered this question on
both sides, and the conscription act was
designed as a relief to the people.

from him his sword was broken into
fragments; and every fist that could get
within reach every club that could he
brought to bear; every brick or stone that
could be thrown with true aim every
heel that could hit the head of the unior-
Nnate man, was put into requisition. In
a moment he was beaten nsensible, which
fact is the only consolation left to his
friends, for the cruelties and indignaties
offered ntterward to his body, had they
been endured 10y being capable of feel
my, would have been too horrible for be-
lief
Having been struck to the earth, he
was seized by hundred hands and drag
ged into an alley-way, out OF the sight of
his wife and children, and also almost
within sight of his troops, who, of course,
had no idea of the atrocities being perpe-
trated on their commander, and there he
was beaten and kicked and dubbed for
hours. He did not die till s P. M. All
the intervening time he was surrounded
by the crowd, who refused to permit any
one to render him any assistance, and
when humane druggist went to HIM and
gave HIM drink of water, the mob en-
tered the store and Quilted it from end to
end.
For all these hours this man lay there,
watched over by some of the mob, and
whenever groan, or a sign, or heavy
labored breath would give token of life,
there was always ready foot to kick his
bleeding head, or ready hand to dash his
| head against the paving stones. And this
where his wife and children could almost
see him and hear his groans.
At about 6 P. NJ, or perhaps before
Father Clowry, Clergyman of the Ro,
man Catholic Church, who had witnessed
the whole scene, vanly endeavored to pre-
vent the deed of violence, entreated per
mission of the mob to administer to tn,
dying man the Sacrament of Extreme
JUNCTION. He urged to them, /" the mar
is already dying; he can never recover
you have done your worst; now pray lie
me remove his body, and nender to hin
the last offices of our church, The an
swer was, "You can do your Office here
and we will protect you in it, but no on
shall remove the man from where he lies
Finding all further remonstrance use
less, the Rev. Father gave to the dying
man the consolation of the church as h
lay. He remained with him till he died
which was 8 o'clock. Even then, the mol
would not permit him to be removed, bu
threatened with vengeance any one VIII,
should approach the bleeding body.
At about 9 o'clock P. M. new riot il
another direction attracted the attention Q
the crowd, and, taking advantage of tn
hull in the excitement, Fathers Clowry AM
Nulty obtained possession of the body
procured a cart from the street, placed tn
corpse upon it, and with the help of som
bystanders conveyed it to the Dead Hous
of Bellevue Hospital.
