New YoRK, May l6.-The Herald's spe-
cial says of the Mobile riot, the leader, Da-
yid Giles, who fred the first shot at the chief
of Police Carpenter, is the only one arrested.
1t is said he aimed directly at Judge Kelley.
He was held to bail this morning in FIVE
thousand dollars by MAJOR Withers, but has
not yet obtained bail.
1t is certain that the attack on the negroes
was continued for a considerable distance
from the scene of action, as many were shot
five or six squares off that were fired upon
from the roof of a store kept by Mr.. Wolf,
directly opposite the stand, and from the win
dows of house kept by man named
| Brooks at the corner OF Royal street. 1t is
| believed here that shots were also fired from
| the side window of John Forsyth's house,
| editor of the Register, which overlooks the
stand. [ cannot vouch for the truth of this,
as sat in front of the window, and the balls
struck behind me.
The excitement is so great to-day, that the
! and Col Shepherd will make rigid enquiry
into the matter.
The L. S. troops are still posted through
out the city, a squad occupying the front OF
the Bottle House.
During the melee, the following persons
were killed and wounded:
Killed-whites Tobernal Allison. Col
ored Samuel Britain.
Wounded-whites Thos. Taylor, D. II

bows, and Jos. Bornes, Col Y. 5. ,Jedburg

Certain Journals would have us believe
that the radicals are not disposed to breed
i'll feeling between the races, though tnelr
orators have commenced perambulatfng the
south, and are dilating on the horrors OF
slavery for the express purpose of intiamlng
the passions of the colored race. In the
same breath Senator Wilson distorted the
past history of South Carolina, and repre-
scented the late struggle as the mode Simply
to perpetuate the domination OF the master ma ''e
over the slave, and yet calls upon the negro
not to grow irritated or to think unkindiy OF
his late master. It sounds well indeed to
preach peace while saying the very things
calculated to promote strife.

THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAvIs.--We clip the
following from the st. Louis Republican OF
October 9th:
RICHMOND, Oct. 8.-The following facts
relative to the coming trial of JEFF. Davis are
from the best authority: The trial is set for
fine fourth Monday in November, and as the
government will not interfere, there will be no
postpohement by the counsel OF either SIDE;
The offense of leYyiDg war against the Unlted
States will be testified to by Judge Scarbo-
rough Of Norfolk, Hon. JnO. SoOd, member OF
the Confederate Congress- and Capt. Hendern,
who were compelled to appear before the Nor
folk grand jury, and testify to facts upon which
the Indictment was made. There will be very
few. if any, witnesses for the defence The
fact of levying war being admitted, the prose
cution will then proceed with the legal argu-
ment !; that the prisoner is guilty OF treason,
and counsel for defence will argue that ne be-
ing q citizen of the State and under It's laws, q
prior allegiance was due to it, not to the other
States. It has been positively asserted that
Judge Chase would preside, but as the Supreme
Court commences its session on the LIST Mon
day in December, this is not possible. The
trial is expected to last several weeks. In
view Of the trial, double the usual number OF
petit jurors have been ordered to be summoned
Hon. James Lyons was to-day furnished with
a copy of the Indictment against the accused
Gen. Weles, of Alexandria, it is understood
is engaged on the side of the prosecution. The
prosecuting Attorney, Chandler, leaves tonight
for New York to consult with Efafts, who as
sists him.

Row Mt Wilson.

The following is clipped from the CORES
pondence of the Sentinel, dated Wilson, Feb
18th:
The good people of Wilson were somewhat
alarmed last night, by serious row between
some drunken negroes and white men. One of
the white men, aMr Pate, it is feared is MORALLY
wounded, and several negroes slightly hurt The
white man was shot by one of his own party,
through mistake. Several of the negroes have
been arrested and are now in Jail"
Such disturbances are to be much deplor-
ed. While we have heard nothing of the
origin of the difficulty, and few of the parti-
culars, yet we know that the want of proper
ly constituted governments in the Southern
States-in fact, the utter Generalization of
the present concerns sufficient reason to
account for all the riots, murders and rob-
berries daily occurring within their borders.
We trust that Congress will act speed ly, and
give US governments, with ample powers for
the protection of all classes.

The Sentinel begins to realize the fact that

Cooling Down.

The Hanes-Boyden- Orr proposition was in.
troduccd into the House of Commons Mon
day, laid on the table, reconsidered and re-
ferred. These proceedings remind US of a
joke, told by friend.
A Dutchman, in Tennessee, having caught
his son in wrong doing, determined to ad-
minister dose of hickory. So he trimmed a
switch and went to look for the youngster,
who incontinently took to his heels. After
chasing the boy around for awhile, the old
man thought he would persuade him to stop
and take the licking. So he halted and
hailed the wary fugitive:
Shon," said he, "Shon, shtop! I'm not
so mad as cot I cash. '
Our Secession friends seem to be cooling
down, they are mot so mad as vot they
wash !"

that the respectable part of the community
