NEW ORLEANS, January 13.-The an.
nounCement Yesterday that Garter and
his adhcrents would demand admission
To the Mechanics Institute this morning
caused unusual excitement. Before ten
o'clock concentration Of Mctropolitans
and militia had been effected. Two lines,
one of MetrOpolitans and another OF the
militia, had been thrown across Dryades
street, each side Of the State House, inside
of which some two hundred had been
placed. There was IN evident uneasiness
among the State officials, indicatedaby
their restlcssncss and blenched faces,
showing that they regarded the situation
as momentous. A crowd gathered about
the intersection of Dryades with Canal
AS early as 10 o'clock, and continued to
increase until after twelve, by which time
it extended several squares. At twelve
o'clock Col. Garter, at the head of his
friends, came up Canal street to Dryades,
where they halted and sent into the house
committee, consisting Of Messrs. Mon.
cure, Lynch and Geddes, members of the
House. They were not admitted to the
floor OF the House. Instructions were
given the dOor.keeper to admit Messrs,
M0nCurc and Geddes rs members, but not
To admit Mr.. Lynch. The House, alter
some consultation among the mem:
hers, refused TO admit them us a
committee from the Carter faction,
or TO receive any communication from
Mr.. Carter, whom they did not recognize
as Speaker nor as q member. The COM
mittee then returned to their lriends, who
were waiting on Canal street to hear the
result of their interview. Instructions had
been given 10 admit Mr.. Carter and all
the members to the building, but it was
stated by the Governors friends that Mr..
Carter would not bc allowed on the floor
ofthc House. The Carterites further de.
manded the removal of the MctropOlitans
from the State House. which was also re.
fused. They then retired to the building
No. 207 Canal street, stating that they
would meet and adjourn from day to day
until their rights could lie obtained.
About two thousand persons assembled in
front Of the Cartcritcs and speeches are
being made.
The Metropolitans and militia. in strong
force and armed as infantry, still occupy
Dryades street and the buildings adjacent
to the Mechanics Institute.
When Mr.. Carter's demands were re.
fused many persons shouted Lets go in
anyhowl" Col. Carter advised against
such action.
There were two committees from the
Carter faction tn the Mechanics Institute
to-day, one to the House and the other to
the Governor. The one to the Governor
