JACKSON, MISS. September 2l.-An.
other demand has been made for United
States troops. The Secretary Of the
Democratic State Committee has tele-
graphed Attorney General Pierrepont
that another riot occurred in jackson on
the 10th day Of September, at a meeting
Of the Republican State Executive Com
mittee, in which A. Warner, Chairman
of said Committee, and Major General
Of the Calling Gun Militia of Missis-
sippi, was assaulted in a rude, angry,
threatening ssa Fasaiss!yy manner by an
other member of the aforesaid Executive
Committee and knocked down. The
Secretary further informs the Attorney
General that the greatest disorder pres
walls in consequence OF the afore-
said row between Warner and
his brother committeeman, that the laws
of the State are set at defiance, and that
no safety for life exists. A perfect reign
of terror exists throughout jackson. and
in view Of this terrible state Of affairs,
the presence Of United States troops is
necessary to dispense the rioters and pro.
tect the Major General.
This is a peculiar kind Of service, for
which the white troops are very happily
qualified. They could settle that dis
turbance much quicker than United
States troops, aud should be employed.
BY ali means.

were divided into paragraphs OF very
equal merit. The Brehons were not
previously Druids, though resembling
them strongly, except that In the Bre-

out. The lecturer was Of the opinion that
