Serious Disturbances About Copper,
head Or1ans

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunc.1
C1ScESAT1, March 3, 1864.
gentleman, just arrived from Dayton, gives tht
following account Of very serious affair that oc
CURED there about noon yesterday:
It Eeems that squad Of half dozen soldiers ol
the 44th Ohio. headed by Captain Badger, made q
denomination On tho od1cc Of the Copperhead
paper, the Dayton Empire, and would hare demol
ished 1t had 1t not been for Messss. CorwInc stan
Young and other leading Union citizens, whc
promptly intesposcd to quell the disturbance,
Ar. CoEWtnc made speech to the infuriated sol
diera, which would havehad the effect Of putting an
end to the affair had not a man named KfmbalI
who WIS on the ground armed, interrupted him by
shouting ''nigger," ''nisger.'
At this the soldiers who were under the influence
Of bad whiEky, made break In tho direction oil
Kimba1l, when the Inter drew pistol and blazed
away. At the samc moment party Of armed Cop
perheads, who had got into the crowd, deploFcd
across the Etrcct ae Ekrmishers and began firing at
the unarmed crowd. Some twenty-five or thirty
fhots In all were fired and man named Carle, Of
Tippecanoe, waa ehot dead and tro Of the soldiers
badly wounded. The Empire office vas not nate
rally damaged.
Had it not been for the venom Of the Copperheads
in shooting into the large crowd of efenselesa men
the affair would have been qnclled without blood
fhed.
DAYTON. March IA party OF twelve or fifteen
far1oughed soldiers Of Co, G. 4ith Ohio recimcnt
went into the EmpIre Office at noon to-day, and
completely Hdd|ed the e Establishment.
After the work was done the soldiers vent to
speech. IN which le took upon himself the whole
responsibility Of the act, By this time large
R. g. Corwin made speeches in order 70 allay thc
excitement. During tho speech Of the latter man
In the crowd made an offensive re-
when the so1dlcrs made rush at Elm, IL the

Of man named Daniel Coal, from Ifppecanoe,

ball in the lungs and died In few moments after
ward. He leaves large family to mourn his loss
Capt BADGER, Of Co. g, wns arrested and admit
ted to hail in the sum Of s5o9. There is mach cx-
ctcment In the city, but as all parties condemn the
ACT, It Is not likely that any further trouble will
grow from it.
The home guards, however, are under arms to
