the mob, and other depredations COM

row. The passenger and mail trains
will not be interfered with, but freight

READING, July "A.
Large crowds gathered at the scene
of last nights affair, and about the
same time several companies of the
Fourth Regiment marched down Sew
enth to Penn street. Here they met
a company OF the Sixteenth Regi-
ment, and a lively fight between the
military seemed imminent. The crowd
treated the Eastern Grays to a shower
of stones. This company Immediately
leveled their pieces, when they were
notified by the Colonel OF the Sixteenth
Regiment that no indiscriminate
slaughter would be permitted. The
troops then passed down Penn on to
Fifth street, followed by the mob, who
fairly threw insults in the teeth of the
soldiers. The Morristown companyo Of
the Sixteenth Regiment subsequently
stacked their arms and refused abso-
lutely to operate against the rioters.
Some threw their guns away and dis
tributed cartridges among the crowd.
