ly opposite the Stock Exchange is the
office of Smith, Gould & Martin, who
were said to he the leaders OF the
gold clique. Rumor also had it that

O'Clock, as If by mutual understand.
ing, both offices We're besieged by
men clamoring to be paid the differ
ences on their sales, At noon
James Fisk, Jr., and William Belden,
who were said to have been the
chief movers in this panic, left the
street together In a carriage, and this
trivial circumstance i'm itself was
magnifled into an important event,
directly bearing on the events of the
hour. AT smith, Gould e Martin =
office, Mr.. Smith appeared aud
stated TO the excited thr0ng that ow-
| ing to the immense business of the
day, and the consequent delays IN
the Gold Exchange Bank, they were
Obliged to refuse to transact business
for the day. but would pay all their

clamorous crowd of brokers were fot
to be put off, and two Deputy
Sheriils appeared at the door, and
guarded it on the inside. At that
moment o clerk of Smith, Gould g.
Martin, ly the name Of Benjamin
Il. Armstrong. who was keeping
back the crowd from without, was
struck i'm the face by Herman A.
Kruger, clerk for another firm,
who was attempting to get i'm the
door. Armstrong retaliated, giving
Kruger powerful blow in the face,
aud out poured the first blood of the
Broad street war. The crowd now
swelled to thousands, and the bellig-
erents were collaFed 10y policemen,
who hurried them away. Threats Of
vengeance against Fisk and Gould
were freely uttered. and matters
looked serious, when Rufus Hatch,
of No. 10 Broad street, lenping upon

will pay every dollar" This was
received with slight cheer, and the
crowd, rs If half asian cd, drew
back. and the pressure at the door
decreased.

Beware Of tTrc widow
from Texas.

We publish the following for the
bonlit Of our bachelor readers:
Into our sanctum some days since
entered tall lady, who had passed
the meridian of life, says the New
Orleans PicdyuHG of a recent date,
and whose countenance bore traces
sorrow. She was dressed in the
habiliments Of woe, and asked in Il
sad tone if the editor was it, One of
the gentlemen present instantly
offered her chair, and inquired I'm
the most respectful manner, what
were her wishes. She sank into the
protlercd chair with an air of perfect
exhaustion, aud loosening her bon.
net strings, as if to rcspire more
freely, replied to the effect that her
name was Breckinridge, that she was
a native of Kentucky, and relative
Of John G.. Breckenridge. She had
married some ten or twelve years ago
and removed with her husband to
Texas. Recently her husband had
died and left her almost destitute
So, selling her household effects she
had taken her two children (boys
one nine and the other seven years
old and come to New Orleans on
her way to her home in Kentucky.
Here her money had given out and
her two boys had been taken severely
i'll. DIR. Stone was kindly caring for
her sick children, but she did not
know what she should do for food,
aud the quadroon woman who had
rented her room demanded her pay
each day.
She knew number of influential
gentlemen In the city, but most un-
fortunately they were either North
or over the Lake. She had walked
over the city until she was utterly
fatlgued and did not know what she
should do. She was rot used to
soliciting aid, but had absolutely
been driven to ii i'm order to obtain
bread for her suffering little ones.
Here her eyes become suffused with
tears, and, If the gentleman addressed
had been Mr.. Peabody, the lady
would have received check for hall
his fortune.
There was such an air about the
lady, of simplicity, of entire igno.
rance of the worlds ways, and she
seemed so essentially genteel withal
that the gentleman addressed-well
he was taken in, Notwithstanding ht
prided himself no little upon bis
knowledge of the tricks of impos,
! tors.
1t has since been divulged that this
same tall and elderly lady has i'm
posed on many Others, and she ha,
now another story.
She is still widow from Texas
with two charming daughters, anC
in needy circumstances, and invites
doubtful subjects to call and see 70
themselves. The invitation being
accepted, her daughters are found Il
be mcst agreeable and entertaining
persons, but the party calling wishc
finally that he had not been induce,
