at twelve o'clock Tuesday, Col. Behan
formed his command at the head of Canal
street, where it was Joined by many of the in
dependent companies, and marched past the
Customhouse to Camp, andrup Camp street
There were about two thousand men in line,
nearly all armed with captured muskets, and
the artillery which was taken in the fight. AS
they passed along the streets they were enthu-
siastically cheered, the Federal soldiers in the
Customhouse waving their hats and cheering
Justify the column passed them. The
militia tfor such they had become) were then
disbanded, with the exception of two or three
com anies, which were to remain in service till
Captain T. Boylon, the new Chief of Police
could organize his force. By five in the even
ing, excepting for the thousands of jubilant
men who moved around the streets congratu-
latipg each other, no trace of the late excite
ment could be seen, the barrieades having
been all removed, the cars running usual,
and all arms having disappeared from view.
We come now to the second act of this
tragedy, wherein the United States' authorities
appear upon the scene in behalf of the govern
| ment which had just been overthrown. This

| subject which will force itself upon the atten-
| ton of the country for years to come. On
Tuesday, at o'clock, when the militia had
already been disbanded, having accomplished
its work of placing Gov. Penn in power, ap-
peared the following
