homes and couches, before another storm
which had in the meantime been brewing
among the clouds assembled in the Green
law Opera House to gloriiicate over the
recent Radical success in this county, broke
out again, startling pale midnight on
her starry throne" The six or seven
hundred negroes marshaled here by Hun
ter and Lewis, as soon as the rain had
ceased falling, poured into the streets and
started up and down Second street, dis
charging pistols and shotguns, and shrek
ing and yelling at the top of their voices,
az if bent on outdoing indeed the upper
elements. The uproar increased as the
rabble proceeded, and reaching Court
Square from this point, yell was raised,
with an accompaniment of firearms, which
was heard to the very limits of the city,
and penetrated the peaceful precincts OF
every home therein. Women and chill
dren were startled from their peaceful
slumbers and grew pale with fear and
dreadful apprehension. The rumor of a
negro riot was started-where could not be
learned-and took the wings of the wind.
The police hurried from every precinct 10
the quarter from which the inhuman
noises seemed to come. A shudder of hor-
ror, accompanied, perhaps, with wild re-
solve, crept over many. And not until
the real cause ofthe disgraceful and highly
censurable outburst became generally
known did the excitement in any measure
subside, and then only to be most severely
commented upon by every friend of de-
cency and good order AS the black, de-
moniac throng left the square, the pande-
monium they had raised gradually sub
sided. We are told, however, that, on a
somewhat reduced scale, it was kept up in
localities throughout the night, and that
citizens residing in the vicinity of the ne
gro settlements were not permitted to sleep
until, from sheer exhaustion, the creatures
into sleep themselves.
