The sacking OF the gun shops last night has
aroused public condemnation, and is utterly repu-
dated by the citizens. In relation thereto Gov
ernor McEnery has issued the following proc.apa-
| tom
| To THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANs:-
| cannot permit the events of yesterday to pass
by without calling your attention to o certain
transaction that can only bring down reproach
and shame upon the good name OF this great city
and its people. With the object OF the meet
ngs called yesterday and last night, which
was to give expression to our sympathy and
perhaps extend material aid 10 the heroic Deblanc
and his brave people, who are barring their breasts
in defence OF the integrity OF their homes and
against the Infamous usurpation which to-day
affects to govern the State, l most heartily SYM
pathize These brave men deserve the active con-
tenanc and support Of every honest man in the
state But the dlsordery tumult and riotous action
OF some Of the residents or this city, who after
the adjournment OF the meeting last night broke
into ana sacked the gun stores OF Messrs Nudge
Folsom, cannot be too severely condemned.
hereby. in the name OF the good and true men or
| this State, characterize such acts as dis
graceful and calculated only TO bring
down disaster upon the cause for which
we, in common, are struggling, and l do
| sincerely hope that the plunderers may be
detected and punished to the full extent afforded
by our criminal Courts and the law. The cause Of
honest and just government in this State can but
be subserved by peaceful. honest, determined
| and lawful resistance upon the part of its good
| people. If war Is levied and armed attacks
made, we can but resist But II no. attacked,
| our true policy is one Of peace.

INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL EMORY.
| AS there were flying rumors on the street to the
| effect that United States troops were to be for
warded to the scene OF the conflict reporter of
the HERALD at New Orleans concluded 10 see what
authority there was for them, and proceeded at
to General Emory's headquarters, corner OF Deord
and Camp streets, about halrpast Ave O'Clock this
evening, but found that the General was not in
Not to be banled, our reporter proceeded to the
ST. Louis Hotel, only to meet with another disap-
p0intment. The General was not there, and no.
body could tell where to find him. Believing the
surest place to find an officer is at headquartcra,
time was rewarded for his trouble Immediately
on sending in his name the General ordered him to
be shown up to his ONCE, where he received him
with military politeness.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT / have called to see you to
ask whether or not there has been any requi-
sition made upon you for troops, either by Mr..
Kellogg or Marshal Packard.
General EM0RY-Yes SIR Marshal Packard has
made requisiton upon me for troops to act as
posse consiatxs to execute writs OF arrest against
certain parties in st. Martin Parish l shall send
q company or tomorrow morning. Now sir
have answered your questions and shall ask you
some. Is there to be row tonight ?
REPoRTER-I think not, sir. l have no idea that
any serious disturbance is medltated. though the
people are naturally much excited.
General EMoRY-Ifyou knew OF any intention to
have riot think you ought to tell me, because it
can do your people no possible good and 1t will be
hand. I am determined not to permit any
riot and it is strange to that your people can't
see that every act Of Violence every disturbance,
every negro that you KILL only tends to strengthen
to render your case more hopeless before Congress.
REPoRTER-They are fully aware OF that fact,
General; they fully appreciate the force Of your
reasoning. But what would you have them doG
Submit quietly and puslanimously to govern
ment they do not recognize as having any founda-
ton in right or law
General EMoRY-Submission does not necessarily
imply pusillanimity You can maintain resist
ancs before the Courts
REP0RTER-The Courts OF the state are efec.
tually closed against US, and VIGOROUSLY in the
interest OF the Kellogg government.
General EMoRY-There are the United States
Courts.
REPoRTER-They are closed too to all intents and
purposes. The Supreme Court has postponed the
consideration of our case expressly, as it seems, to
remit the whole question to Congress.
General EMoRY-Well. sir, you win find that Con-
gress will not be inclined to take your case into
consideration II there are any more Collax affairs.
REPoRTER-The Coiax affair, General, was re-
garded as having been extremely unfortunate
through the necessary result OF the condition OF
affairs existing in Grant parish.
At this moment visitors were announced, ana
our reporter, thanking the General for his cour-
tesy and candor, bowed himself out just as District
Attorney Beckwith and Mephlstophles Beckwith
bowed themselves in.
