The prisoners were examined separately at
the Toombs this afternoon, and when it was
that the party had committed no overt act and
had no weapons, he was discharged. Stephen
Meany, of the Irish American, appeared in be-
half of the prisoners. He said that they were
cited by a certain class to riot but who had
deserted them when they got into trouble.
Thousands visited 8th avenue, the scene of the
riot to-day. All the houses between 23d and
9th streets bore marks of the terrible dis
charge of musketry.

A Doc SToRY-yve hsvn't told dog story
. for long time but will venture one in spite Of
the hot weather The other day fine looking
gentleman resident in Portland, was followed
home from professional visit, by maugy,
ill-favored,s seedy looking cur. 1--WE don't
blame the dog; such portly, pleasant-faced
master would be tempting to any dog) he
didn't know what to do with him, but in the
language of his heart treated him Handsomely
Next day he went long and circuitohs rou'o
with the dog for company, and lett MN al ah
out-of-tbe-wav Mace, remote from home, ana
went to he'd concentrating himself OF having
| GOT rid of a nuisance. Midnight came and SO
did the dog. Our friends sumbers were dis
turbed, and to purchase peace ne rose from his
conch and admitted the cur then went back
| to devise a new stratagem. After breakfast
he ordered his horse, called the dog into the
carriage and went to invite friead to ride
with him. He unburdened his grief They
started for seaside house and by the most
circuitous route consumed three times the dis
lance absolutely necessary to reach the place.
After dinner a salt water bath was taken, and
the dog was accidentally" locked up in the
bath house, but the cruel men were deaf to the
despairing cries of Snarleyow. Our friends
came home by the shortest road The afflicted
one returned ioyfully to his couch. Midnight
came-so did the dog. There was no mistak-
ing his familiar voice. The dogs persistence
was better than the mans patience, and he
was qnieted by bed on the kitchen rug. Our
good-natured friend is in despair. Hanging,
drowning, shooting and poison have occurred
to his mind but he has no confidence of their
efficacy with such dog. What aoM he do
with him?

To the Public of Maine:
Having announced the intention of taking
my great travelling show as far East as Bangor,
it seems proper that should state my reasons
for change of programme. The daily expen-
ses Of my great combination being twenty-five
hundred dollars, it is found on examination
that many of the small towns where we should
be obliged to stop do not contain inhabitants
enough at fifty cents to cover my expenses.
Several bridges also are impossible for some OF
my largest chariots. l am therefore compelled
to commence our return trip after reaching
Waterville, that town being as far East as il
seems prudent for us to go with SO large a
combination of exhibitions.

requires an explanation from us. #.
The writer Of the several articles in rela-
ton to this matter has, for the past few
days, been unable to give his usual atten-
ton to our Virginia exchanges, consequently
the denial of the Virgi1idn escaped our at
tention.
Since the appearance of its last article,
we have referred back to the files of that
paper, and find an unqualified denial of the
statement, which we, at the time, doubted,
although furnished by respectable and re-
liable gentleman. POI ang4
We now take pleasure in publishing its
denial, which we assure the Tagi,ian gives
us as much pleasure to see, as it did itself
to publish. We trust our esteemed cotem-
porary will be satisfied with our explana-
ton.
After publishing what we said in relation
to the Wilson murder, the Vnginian adds !:
We deny the statement emphatically. There
has not been the slightest evidence that such
was the case, and good deal to show that 1t was

WE understand that Mr.. j. A. Ii. st.
Andrew, who is connected with the English
press, and also has recently accepted the
Vice-Presidency of the National Virginia
Settlement Association, arrivedin this State
on Tuesday last, and is about to enter upon
the active duties of his position. One Of
the principal objects of this gentleman's
visit to the State is, to awaken through the
public press of England such an interest in
the Association, and to communicate such
information through the channels at his
command, as TO bring the capital and energy
of his countrymen, as well as their
labor and industry, to the Old Dominion.
He is satisfied that for certain classes
of Englishmen, Virginia has attractions
which are at present offered no where else
in the world ; and he fixes his residence
here for the purpose of making his country
men aware of the superior inducements
which our State holds out to them, in an
agricultural and manufacturing point off
view. Mr.. st. Andrew is gentleman
superior culture and much practical good
sense, and brings to his official position a
degree of individual enterprise and personal
energy, that promises well for the assoca-
ton with which he is connected. From an
interview which we had with him few
days ago, we are satisfied that he fully I'M
derstands both the wants of our people and
the interests of his own countrymen, seek
ing settlement in the United States. The
class which he expects to induce to Virginia
is composed Of those who command ade-
quate means for purchasing small farms
and suitably stocking them at the start,
with such surplus of capital as will
guarantee them against all contingencies for
at least one year after their settlement here.
1t is fair to presume that Englishmen
will place greater value upon the testimo-
ny of an Englishman, respecting the climate
and resources of our State, than upon any
other person whom the National Virginia
Settlement Association might delegate as
their agent Of communication with them. -
Mr.. st. Andrew has been in this country
something over a year, writing largely on
English topics for the New York press, and
he has spent time enough in Virginia to
satisfy himself of its superior advantages
over any other portion of the country for
the class of settlers whom lie would in
duce to emigrate here. He enters into the
work enthusiastically. and we shall look |
with interest for the letters he will soon
communicate 10 the English press. We
cordially welcome him to our State, and
wish him success in the enterprise he has
SO energetically undertaken.
