Everything ION which the crowd could lay

useless as unnecessary to describe the pain

house, with her young children, and fol-
lowed by her servants, fled wildly, in fer
ror from the ravaging and unmerciiul ele-
ment that was rapidly, consuming her
home. There were none to aid her at
this moment, as no attack was expected
in this quarter The police were all well
employed elsewhere, and the firemen in
the neighborhood did not interfere. At
three O'Clock this house and the one i'm

ATTACK on THE TRIBUNE BUILDINGS.
Close upon the falling OF dusk upon the
city, as it had often fallen upon many
evenings unmarked by such regretful
events, d crowd, small in numbers, had
gathered before the Tribune Office A
few groans, few cheers, and some g Hi

what was going on or intended; but a
closer acquaintance with the feeling of the
crowd demonstrated clearly enough that
a very rough demonstration was in CON
temptation against the said Office A
gradual ebulit.on of hostility first among
parcel of boys in front, and gradually eX-
tending to the rougher and more deter

regular attack. A preliminary and
premonitory crash Of glass was heard, at
the sound of which numbers Of lockers on
immediately stampeded, as if the neigh
bOrhOOd had already become too hot for
them. Bot crash followed crash, doors
were rent open, and all the sounds of a
speedy demolition of counters and furni-
ture inside told me that an entrance had
been effected, and that the work of de-
struction under many hands was going on.
To the first body of the more active
participatOrs in the stone throwing and
window breaking operations were added,

THE RIOT ON TUESDAY.
From the New York Herald of Wednesday.

New YORK, July 15.-The city yester-
day morning was gloomy and warlike.
Business was to a great extent suspended,
crowds Of men with excited and anxious
looks filed the streets, squads of policemen
and soldiers marched hither and thther
toward scenes of violence with weapons
ready for USE Anxious knots of people
gathered at corners, and nothing was talked
OF but the draft and the riot. Such omni-
buses and cars as commenced running in
the morning were crowded, but before
noon all the cars and stages in the city had
stopped their trips, and gave place to hacks
and very few carts. Broadway was de-
serted by the gay throng that usually
promenades there in the afternoon@they
had given place to a continuous march of
police, of military, of citizens, of ominous-
looking men,, with ragged clothes, bronzed
faces and hard hands, moving to the aid of
the rioters.
: Hundreds, from the general suspension
of business, were led to the scene of dis
order, who might otherwise have been still
better employed. a The laborers on all new
buildings, in large manufacturing establish
ments, the stevedores and other laborers
along the docks, all left off work, being in
many instances compelled to do SO by the
mob. In some cases, in the upper parts
of the city, they would command persons
to come from their doors to Join their
ranks, under threat Of having their houses
burned in the evening. Everywhere almost
the wholeA middle and laboring classes
turned out in aid Of the rioters. Other
citizens, merely looked on, as a general
thing with more apparent curiosity than in
dignation. Eating houses and saloons
where negroes had been employed were
closed, or white men had been substituted
as walters. Crowds gathered around the
bulletins of newspapers, and no one thought
-of~the fate Of Aeade's or Lees army, and

Loul.lana secssh Down on GOV. Moore.


A late issue of the Planters (St. Mary's
Parish) Banner contains the following:
The Port Hudson Ners and the Tensas Ga
zGtte, or some other gazette, thinks that Cover
nor Moore makes ridiculous figure at the
head of the Louisiana militia, and as the chief
pillar and corner stone Of the new militia bill.
They think that the few thousand men that he
will force from their home, to the detrlment of
agriculture and almost eyeryl local interest, will
do the State but little good. Governor Moore
appears to be perfect stumbling-block to the
State. All that he did towards the defence of
New Orleans was thrown away; he was always
a little too slow or halted at expenses, on the
"penny wise and pound foolish " plan; he dis
banded the militia a few days before our defeat
at the LafOurche, and now he wishes TO take all
the planters, Overseers, gardeners, physicians,
teachers, and every other useful man that he
can reach in the Statei put them into camp to
starye or suffer for want Of materials which he
cannot furnish, and leave plantations, negroes,
and the country at large TO take care of them
selves, and probably, when most wanted, and
when he has done all the harm he can, he will
be likely TO take notion to disband them all
and send them home. His principal object ap-
pears to be to protect Red river and his planta-
tions there the lower part of the State he cares
but little about. We would be glad TO sec Kirby
Smith, or somebody else, abolish him as II mill
tary necessity. If ho has done the State any
good for the last eighteen months we have not
yet learned the particulars.

Some Inquiries Respecting the MONDAY
Prayer Meetings.

MEssRs. EDIToKs The MONDAY prayer meet
Ing, held at the church of the Rov. Mr.. Butler,
daily, is but thinly attended; yet sufficient at
tendance of divines and laymen to make 1t
peculiarly interesting to themselves, In that,
the body corporate are of one mind, ignoring,
as they do, co1ttrovcrted subjects. Sectional
questions are iguorcdi and is this not well, pre-
cluding, as 1t does, controversy But classed
among contrOVertsd subjects is that of allusion
in prayer to that most vital question, our coun.
try. Now, if this question is sectional, or con-
troverted, with thcm in prayer, to my mind 1t
is treason.
That the Rev. Mr., Butler is loyal man, aud
faithful minister of the gospel, no one will
question. But those who would silence earn.
est prayer, and those who neglect to offer ii, in
behalf of our rulers and army, and the sup.
preston of rebellion, ought to be frowned
down, and prayed out of the church, of which
| pronounce them unworthy members. have
listened to five consecutive prayers In this
MONDAY prayer meeting Oncuding two from
Government employees and not the most re-
mote allusion was made to the subject of my
complaint. Let me call upon praying men o
the Union League TO attend these meetings.

A letter from the rebel camp at ViCksburg,
printed in the London Times of March 31st,
contains the following remarks upon the cana
conda" system of warfare upon the States in
rebellion.
alt ID. strange that the lesson can never be
learnt by the Washington Cabinet, that the
mighty area of the Southern States forblds the
possibility OF bringing them to terms by the
seizure of all the strong places upon tho seaboaPd
and along the rivers. For months past all the
best harbors on the coast, and most of the i'm
pOrtant towns upon the great rivers, have been
held by the North. But tho only effect pro-
duced has been to weaken the Federals by eX-
acting large forces to hold these stations by sea
and land; and in the interim the port of
Charleston alone has been a sufficient alkali
to neutTalize the acid of Federal possession
In twenty other spots. Similarly, of what avail
is II that the Mississippi should be clutched at
New Orleans and Memphis, when Vicksburg
and Port Hudson, and the intervening one
hundred and fifty miles of river, are closed
against Federal Intrusion Nor would the
position of the Federals be greatly bettered If
the Confederate batteries at ViCksburg and
Port Hudson could bU finally silUncGd. Iron
clad vessels could in that case go up and down
the river, but no trading vessel which descended
the river would ever TCasCGnd 1t to tell her tale
at st. Louis OF Cincinnati. That the Commu-
nication between the trans-Mississipp States
and the East could never be cut of, though
VicksOurg and Port Hudson should fall, is
abundantly evident from the experience which
the Federals onght to have gained on the Poto-

Until recently, Col. Wardrop's regiment, ,Sthe
famed Goth New York volunteers, has been on
duty in the CITY, and its members seem to have
won great favor among the citizens for their
gentlemanly department and good discipline;
but few days since they were relieved and
sent into camp at Suffolk, aud the 10Th Indi-
ana volunteers arc now on duty in the city,
under command Of Lieut.. Col. whipplo, who
is regarded as a very efficient officer, and has
been successful in preventing much of the Sc
cret traffic which has been going on for some
time.
A few days since he obtained information
that an attempt would be made by some parties
to steal out of the harbor by night with a boat
load of goods. Anur dark, he took a small
boat, with two picked men to assist, all armed,
and started of to a point where he would be
likely to intercept the parties, and, though the
night was very dark, he succeeded in overhaul
ing them, hailed the boat and ordered a sur
render, which not being promptly complied
with, he sent seven shots after them, and so
compelled them to give up the chaSe thus cap
tured, they were brought safely into port for
imprisonment, and the goods for rouHsCation.
All sorts Of tricks arc rcsorted to for avoiding
the restriction on liquors, and even flour

the keg of whisky which it contains, nicely
packed for some saloon-kccper, who willingly

learn; though you may guess the liquors are

TIL. Monitor Rattle.


There is aprospect Of much contention about
the merits of the iron -clads-a battle d6out
Monitors almost as fierce as their late battle
with the Charleston forts. A letter from the
inventor, Ericsson, printed in another column,
shows that his faith 10 unshakon If his turrets
were. lie regards the fight as anexperimental an
one, and the experiment proves, by Its results,
that the Monitors, corrected and revised in
some points that were never tested before, can
Withstand all the banging that forts or vessels
can give them
There is no doubt that many Of the officers
Of the navy have cast iron prejudcos against
the irou-clud Monitors. The correspondent of
the Baltimore american hints plainly that this
prejudice (against craft that have no expah.
cd quarter deck, and not very luxurious cabin
accommodations, had much to do with the
failure to renew the attack on Fort Sumter.
We can hardly believe that our officers would
allow prejudice to deter them from making full
use of the instruments put into their hands by
their Government. That would be treason
most foul.
The truth is that, Judging from the accounts
given by the rebels as well as those of "our own
correspondents" the iron feet suffered less
than might have been reasonably expected.
The experiment enabled us to remedy the de-
fects in our feet and it revealed to us the
strength Of the enemy'S works.
Whether the attack shall be renewed is a
question for the Government to decide. We
know that some high officials doubted the sue
cess Of the experiment from the first, and
others doubted tho policy of cxpending the
strength necessary for the purpose in captur.
ing places instead of thrashing armies.
1t is best, at AL events, not to become heated
in a controversy about the Monitors.
