Up to this hour the riot appears to he
increasing. The following is brief re-
sume of the operations:
1t appears that there must have Leen a
concocted plan of resistance to the con-
scription. as all the working men on the
different railroads combined. together with
those of certain factories. and marched to
the bindings on 81 avenue where the
drafting for the 9th district had COM
meneed.
AT about half-past ten o'clock the crowd
rushed in, seized the books and papers. us
ing great violence towards the officers end
reporters present. who managed to escape
except Assistant Deputy Vanierpoel, who
was badly beaten and believed to lie be-
yond recovery. Soon after. the building
was burned. the demons meanwhile storm
ing the upper part. where some half dozen
families lived
The next building took fire and was al
SO destroyed, the rutfians shouting while il
was burning. Women were also in the
mob. melting them on. All the horse
cars were stopped. and the drivers taken
off by the crowd.
The police were overpowered and beat
en- horribly. a blacksmith shop was
also demo lish ed and its owner nearly kill

A detachment OF $50 Of the Provost
Gnard arrived at noon, and drew mp in
line OF battle between 44th and Forty

excited mob who stoned and jeerc,l them
The soldiers fired into the ruffians, when
they were set npon and driven of and
pursued about a mile. One of the sold
iers was caught and actraliy beaten 10 death
by both men and sroDaen tends. Another
was nearly torn to pieces, thrown over a
precipice aud his body stoned till half
buried.
Soon after sqnad of police arrived,
but were driven of, one Of their number
, s being torn to pieces. and kicked into jelly.
The stores in the vicinity was soon clos
ed by their owners. and the rioters had
every thing their own way. The fremen
was not allowed to play on the fires.
The most horrible and beastly outiages
have been perpetrated. Some twelve or
thirteen policemen have been so brutality
treated that their recovery is almost hope
less. and no doubt exists as to the death
