the melee last night was only eight or ten.
Quite large number Of the citizens, how
ever, were assembled this morning but on
learning of the approach of the military, dis
persed. Accompanying the infantry were

Of last night upon unOnending bystanders,

were an old grey headed Spectator and a
butcher standing quietly at his stall. Nio-

officers having disappeared, considerable
excitement still exists In jefferson, and one
