| large body of the police are kept on duty there
night and day, with several companies Of mil.
tlat besides two companies of United States
troops, who are under arms in the vicinity Of
the state house. Governor Yarmouth has issued
the following proclamation:

eauseess rumors were put in circulation, and that
the military authorities of the United States gov

reports are false and without shadow of iustiica-
non. am IN quiet and perfect accord with the
military authorities stationed here, and have as
surances from them that they will sustain and as
sIst me in repressing disorder and tumult."
The governor, through his attorney, applied
to the eigth district court for an injunction
against the Carter faction, TO restrain them from
attempting to organize the house OF represents
tives OF transact any business whatever as such
in the "Gcm" saloon or elsewhere, except such
members as are entitled to seats in the house

processes asked for by the Warmouthtes, and
ordered writs be issued and served.

governor for military force to enforce he order
Of the court. About five O'Clock, when these
taCis became known, an immense crowd rapidly
assembled around the hall Of the Carterites, on
Royal SuCCt, between Canal and Custom House
streets. About she same hour, n battalion of
infantry and company Of metropolitan police,
with fixed bayOnetS, al under the command Of
Col Sgui:es, moved from the stale house down
Canal street, turning INTO CnStom House street
at the old levce, out OF Custom House street
nearly to Royal street, where they were halted.
This produced intense excitement. The crowd
in Royal street increased rapidly, and in a few
minutes extended along two or three squares on
either side. The crowd seemed greatly excited
and riot was feared.
The stores in the vicinity of Canal street were
closed, as well as those on Royal street. Col.
Squre,s taking the sheriff by the arm, ad.
yanced to the door and demanded that the
sheriff be allowed admission to secure a process
of the court. After paFley the sheriff served his
writ and 'he military went to Mechanics instr
tute. The Cdrterites evidently regerded the ac-
tion OF the militia favorable and gave them
hearty cheers as they passed up Royai street,
the crowd giving way at their approach. After
the military left Royal street the crowd re-aSSem-
bed around the legislative hail. calling for Car

stating that he had just received from the
United Statesmarshal a communication in which
he says; "Gen. Emory informs me, that in consc-
quence of the netarious course OF Gov. War
