ROCHESTER,, JAN 3.-From until II o'clock
the city was comparatively quiet. Four COM
| panies of the 54th regiment were guarding the
| Jail and approaches, and loaded cannon were
! placed to command the bridges. At II o'clock
| quite crowd assembled and there was good
deal of hooting of the military but no overt act.
| AT half-past IL some one placed on a canal boat
IN the slip of Court street flag, on which were
the words, "Avenge your brothers" Brig.
| Gen. Clarke tore it down and the crowd rushed
upon him, and for short time he was in peril
but was relieved and firearms handed him by
| friends. The sheriff has ordered out the re-
naming six companies of the 54th regiment,
who are now assembling. 1t is feared there
will be more trouble this afternoon and eve
ming. The authorities are determined to defend
the Jail, but they wish the niger Howard was
well out of it. Further particulars of the
shooting last evening show that the soldiers
were pelted by the mob with brickbatS and
stones and several of them were injured. Tie
order to charge was given, and some of the
men fired instead
ROCHESTER,, Jan. 3-3 P. M.-There is con-
siderable of a crowd around the JAIL but the
heavy ram seems to check the excitement No
violence has been committed since noon. Prep
aratlons are being made to meet any emergency
this evening. The police are massed at head
quarters and ready to move to any point. The
negro Howard has been indicted.
