stones, &C., by mob Of several hun
dred men. Several shots were fred
on both sides. Mayor Pillsbury was
on the ground, but it is said he was
powerless to quell the riot, and was
compelled to call on Major Og!esby,

crowd of yelling and infuriated ne
groes throwing stones, and compelling
the soldiers at intervals to face about
and threaten to FIRE. Several persons
were wounded, mostly members Of
the cOlored band. The affair causes
