The following letter, correcting statement
made in the BULLETIN of Sunday, was not sent
to US for publication, but as it is interesting
we take the liberty of using it, trusting to the
good nature of our correspondent to pardon
our disobedience of his injunction to keep il
"private:"
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Having a strict regard for the truth of his
tory, as well as that of journalism. 1 take this
liberty to correct an error in your romance of
the old Fort st. John.
The name of the rebellious hero of Vine
gar Hill. and later, of Fort st. John, was not
John, but Nicholas Sinnott and a probable
reason why the martinez alluded to did not
have his subaltern court-martialed for going
where there was fighting to do, may be found
in the fact that the lieutenant was paying out
Of his private fortune all the expenses of that
garrison. Yours, respectfully,

THE MILL RIOTS In MASSACHUSETTS,.

FALL RIVER Sept. 27.-The gongs, whistles
and bells sounded at 6 o'clock this morning
and those who signed passed in, while those
who refused were ordered to dispense.
Several mills did not get hands enough to
make it an object to start. The Richard Dor.
den mill started nearly foil. Some thousand
operatives attempted to enter the yard, and
stoned the superintendent Of the weaving
room, who approached them. Stones were
thrown at the Montauk mills and thirty or
forty squares of glass were smashed.
ance, who replied that as they had failed to
go to work, they could get nothing from the
city treasury. They propose applying to Gov.
CASTOR. The police dispersed the crowd by
the exhibition of revolvers The Mayor
called out the 81 Regiment.
The operatives have lost all sympathy by
their doings to-day.
FALL RIVER, Sept 27.-There is little change
in the status of help at the mills. Ten thou
sand persons were present at the operatives
mass meeting in the Park this evening. Il
was voted to petition manufacturers to with
draw the obnoxious agreements Several
committees met this evening to carry out this
plan. II it fails call will be made for q
grand mass meeting in Faneuil Hall, Boston,
the operatives believing they can gain the
sympathy of all.
No interference worthy of note was made
with the operatives as they came from work
this evening. Everything is very quiet on
the streets this evening The militia are
stationed at different points of the city where
disturbances are anticipated. The troubles
are by no means believed to be over. The
mayor refuses to interfere in the differences
between manufacturers and operatives, but is
determined to maintain peace and order at
all hazards.

Editor New Orleans Bulletin
Dear SRI notice in your valuable paper of
the 4th inst, paragraph asking persons to
forward you any news relative to frauds in
the last census taking. spoke of this ma tier
to friend, who is reliable person, and he
named several families (white) that the census
man did not visit, just in one neighborhood,
and in these families are twenty eight males
and females. This is in Catahoula parish,
and in this (Concordia) parish there is, to my
own kno Wedge. eighteen families, averaging
eight to each family, which the census taker
did not visit; and if they have neglected
their duty in every parish in the State as they
did il this and Catahoula, there will be quite
vast difference in voting for certainly
goodly number of the people left out are
voters. The census man did not leave out
the coored race, not single time
