NEw ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-THE people
seem 10 have responded with alacrity to
the advice given them by DR.. Beard and
Of the speakers at the Canal street meet.
Ing. By3 p. NJ. armed men were stationed
at the intersection OF all the streers on tho
south sldc oi Canal street, from the river
to Clsyborne street. About 4 p. N. 8 body
OF Metropolitans about 500 strong, with
cavalry and artillery, appeared at the
head OF Canal street and took q poation.
Gen. Longstreet commanding, accompa.
MED by an orderly, then rode up and
down Canal street ordering the armed
citizens to dsperse. Some deaultory firing
soon alter occurred along the line OF Canal
street and someiew casualties arc reported
on both sides, The Metropolitans are re-
ported 10 have broken at the first fire, the
citizens capturing ono piece OF artillery.
The citizens are building barricadealong
Pydras street, having already captured
the City Hal! and taken possession ofthe
fire alarm telegraph. The police tele-
graph lines are worked by battery from
the City Hall, and have been detached
therelrom rendering them useless. There
is one company OF US. troops here but
they remain at the custom house, spec-
tators Of the lively ecene being enacted in
front ot them. The State authorities seem
to have great confidence In their ability 10
deal with what they term an armed mob
and say that unless tho people dispcrse
there will be bloody work to night.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 14-Barrlcsdes
are erected on all the streets between
Paydras and Canal, and the people's party
hold all that portion ol the city aboYe
Canal. The metropolitRns are mSssed "a
and around jackson Square, and the 81.
Louis Hotel. There was quite shsrp
fight at the river end Of Canal street about
iour o'clock. The number oI killed ia es.
timated by some as high as fifty, and
many wounded. Capt, ]. ii. West, a
printer, and well known newspaper
correspondent, and E. A. Talledauo were
killed on the citizens side. A number OF
the metropoltsns are reported killed and
General Badger was severely wounded,
The colored men, Of which the metropol.
itan brigade was largely composed, broke
and ran upon the first llre, leaving their
white comrades, number OF whom were
kslled and wounded.
New ORLEANS, 14th, 8 P. M-The
streets above Canal street are well filed
with armed citizens. The impresAlon
now prevails that no further attempt will
be made by the metropolitans 10 disperse
their opponents who handled them 80
roughly this evening. The city Is re-
mafkably quiet throughout, aud no
further cnndCt Is apprehcnded before
morning. The most OF tho barricades ara
nade with street railroad cars. Six or
eight citizens and twenty or thirty met
ropoiitans we're killed in the fight thla
evening, and many wounded on both
sides. 1''.Hus A
