As Nigh. have been expected, the ex-
cesses committed by the mob on Tuesday
evening, who. after being told by Messrs.
E. J. Ellis and James t.ingan to GO and pro-
vide themselves with arms and be prepared
to follow those worthless to St. Martinsyille,
to cooperate with the organized rebel forces
of Colonel DeBlanc. broke open and sacked
severa! gun stores in this city. led TO very
general reaction Of public opinion against
them yesterday morning. Mr.. McEnery,
the pretender TO the governorship. felt
called upon to repudiate the action Of the
mob and their leaders in proclamation
which he promulgated from his Executive
Department" at No. 3i Carondeles street.
yesterday morning. He says:
The disorderly tumuit and riotous action
OF some of the residents of this city. who.
after the adjournment Of the meeting last
night, broke into and sacked the gun stores
of Messrs. Nudge and Folsom can not be
too severely condemned.

full. honest. determined and lawful resist
ance upon the part of its good people. 1t
war is levied and armed attacks made we
can but resist. But if not attacked. our
true policy is one Of peace.
The New Orleans Times is most emphatic
in its denupciation Of the outrsges Of the
mob. I: concludes al article on the sub.
;ect as follows:
This is By no means the first time that
unruly spirits in our midst have supplied
themselves with arms in this outrageous
manner, yet no good has ever been accom-
plished through the weapons thus obtained.
1t is somewhat strange that new weapons
are always required, though whole armOries
were obtained but few months ago. An
other strange thing is that the tax resisting
orators, who are always ready to fire the
rabble heart, forget, or are Indifferent to
the fact that the real tax payers of the city
are compelled to pay at high rates for the
arms thus stolen and the property thus de-
strOyed.
Let those who wish Co go picnicing up
the Teche do 80 in future at their own ex-
pense. Decent men should have no toler-
ance for such business
