Canal street to protest against the seizure
of arms of private citizens, men began to
assemble about 10 o'clock, and by IL
o'clock the broad sidewalks Of the great
thoroughfare were filled for several
squares. Many stores were closed, and
there seems to be very general suspen-
sion Of business. Atth hour tl2 n.y. an
address is being delivered from the base
of the Clay statue.
The meeting adopted resolutions re-
questing Governor Kellogg's abdication
and sent committee to demand the
same. They returned in couple of
hours saying the Governor refused to
comply. The people were then advised to
60 home and get their arms and return
to assist the White League.
BY 3 o'clock p. m. armed men were
stationed at the intersection of all the |
streets on the south side of Canal street.
About p. m. a body Of metropolitians,
numbering 500, with cavalry and artil-
lery, appeared atth head Of Canal street
and took position. General Longstreet,
who was commanding, accompanied by
an orderly, then rode up and down Canal
street. ordering the armed citizens to dis
perse. Some desultory firing soon after
occurred along Canal street and some few
CASUALTIES are reported on both sides.
The metropolitans are repoted to have
broken at the first FIRE, the citizens cap
turing one piece Of artillery. The cit
zens erected a barricade and captured
th. City Hall.
There was quite sharp fight at the
river end of Canal straet about 4 o'clock,

rs high as fifty, and many wounded.

ne. Big, inflated, insolent. and over I
caring, it collapsed at one touch of hon h
st indignation and gallant onslaught; Q
8 boasted armament dissolved before 5
ne furious rush of our citizens; its thiev- y
lg, sneering, unscrupulous chieftains 81
id like moles and mercenaries, fled like Il
cattle" v
