at having been brought IN my knOwl

support OF my acts rs Governor Of the
State. ] beg 10 state that these reports
arc false, and without n shadow Of jGstill
cation. am in entire and perfect accord
with the military authorities stationed
here, and have assurances from them
that they will sustain and assist inc in
rcpresing disorder and tumulIs."
The Governor through an attorney mp
piled To the 9Th district court for an in

Tor by Warmothites and ordered the
writs issued and served They were
placed in the hands Of the sheriff who at.
tempted to serve them this afternoon, but
was refused admission 10 the hall where
the Cartcrites were in session. Tho court
therefore applied 10 the Governor for
military force to enforce the orders Of
the court. About 8 O'clock, when
these facts become known, ar
Immense crowd rapidly assembled
around the Hall of the Carterites, on
Royal street, between Canal and Custom

at the old Lcvee, out of Custom IousI
nearly to Royal street. where they wer'
halted. This movement produced an in
tense excitement; the crowd on Roya
street increased rapidly, and in few min
utes extended two or three squares o.
either side. The crowd seemed great
excited, and riot was greatly feared
The stores in the vicinity on Canal street
were closed, as well as those on Roya

iir be allowed admission To serve the pre-
cesses Of the court AOCr II pArlGy, III
Sheriff served his writ, and the militar
moved back to Mechanics Institute. Th
Carlerites evidently regarded tue actio
Of the militia As favorable, and gave ther
hearty cheers, as they passed up Royu
street, the crowd giving way upon thci
approach.
After the military left Royal street III

Hall calling loudly for Carter, who cam
out and delivered n brief speech, stain
that he had Just received from the Unite
