being addressed IL iiOnt nf ihc ~

These gallant men, without mo
'mcnts hesitation. rushed Ia the
scene of the bclcalu ii restaurant
and its imlmrilcd inmates. The
head OF this column aud tho l'ndi,
cal line of negroes at oncc engaged
in combat. Torrhlight sticks, clubs.
rocks, pistols aud knives, Tor II low
moments did bloody execution.
Tho Radical limo was horne back,
separated, dispersed aud fled. The
horde OF negroes IN the restaurant
were pulled and driven out. but not
until one negro. whose name was
not ascertaincd, was killed, some
eight or ten or,hcrs wounded, and
five or six white men more or less
injured. The lower rooms Of Bell
anger's establishment were com
pletely wrecked. and wounded men
lying on the ground and being borne
back by the antagonistic lines, gave
one a not imperfect idea OF minla
turo battlefield.
At the first sound of tho disorder.
the lights along Canal street, and
up the interesting avenues, were
cxtinguished in every building; but
the blazing torches lit, far and wide,
the scene of the mclc, with II bright
ness that rivalcd day. The police,
at first entirely inefficient from want
numbers, Strengthened every mo
ment by instant arrivals, soon lent
effcctual assistance in quclling the
disturbance but it had hardly ceas-
cd when a struggling shot from the
white club drew return fire, it is
alledged, from the police, who, rang
ing themselves on the opposite side
of the street, TINS gave fuel to the
almost suspended fray, and kindle'l
again tho angry passions which had
momentarily subsidized. The fight
thus recommended lead into Bur-
gundy street, and down it to Esplan-
ado. Along this thoroughlarc sew
eral negroes were killed and IL num-
Der wounded. Numbers not here
tofore engaged joined the insurgcnt
multitude, and the starllcdcity be-
gan to feel that the period for the
inlfilment of Pinchback's lurid
pro ohccy had arrived. The long
roll was beaten by the colorcd mu
sicians-notcs Of warming and con
certcd signals-which, penetrating
along distant streets, WAS intended
to arouse the negroes to arms. at
the corner of Orleans street the fight
was momentarily renewed; but it
lasted but for the space OF a second,
as the negroes were again borne
back by the citizens rallying to the
defence of their lives and property.
Finally, however, every sign of
disturbance was quclcd, and the
excited population had time to rest
from the fears that ut one time had
aroused the city. No one can be
surprised at these fears. The cause
less and unjustifablc nature of the
attack might well excite tho gravcst
apprehensions. 3pp9
Those are are tho particulars so
far as our reporter Was able to CLEAN
them M to the time of going to
press. From the angry and excited
multitude no definite information
could be obtained, and only such
intelligence has been acquired as
personal observation and the in
quiries of non -combatants were able
to elicit.
This morning wednesday, the
utmost quietness prevails. The
scenes of last night, which at one
time threatend a terrible insurrcc-
ton. have left but few traces of cx-
citcmen, aud disorder. The fires
which were kindlcd and burnt so
fierccly for a little while, spent their
force in the almost momcntiiy out
burst of Radical hate aud Outrage.
