derly in all the police districts Of the city, and
with the exceptions Of the brickbat assault on
the troops from Fort Columbus, while they
were marching from President-strcct depot to
Camden depot this forenoon, when one of the
soldiers was struck, but not seriously hurt,
no disorder has occurred. The general opinion
is that with the revenue cutter Ewing, at
Locust Point with her guns trained on ap-
proaches to tho bonded general warehouses and
elevators, the regular troops, with batteries
stationed at various points, the Fifth and
Sixth regiments NJ. N. G., 500 regular and 800
picked special police, the force Is sufficient to
suppress OF speedily quell any violence Of the
strikers or plundering mobs.
There arc probably from six to eight hun
dred regulars in the city. Major General Han
cock with his staff, Is at Barnum's. General
Barry, In command at Fort McHenry, Is with
his battery at Camden depot, where he has
remained all day and was through last night.
There are also at Camden depot three compa-
niles, NJ, G and d, of the Third artillery from
New York, numbering $50 men, under conf
mand Of Con. Ayrcs, acting rs infantry, and a

the battalion of engineers, under command of

and city police are sufficient TO subduo any
mob that may venture on pillage and any vio-
lcnce. The only apprehension of danger is
the work of the inccndary.

excitement and brought thousands to the
