which had set in continued unabated but Notwithstanding
this the crowd numbering between three and four hun

fires were kept all night located at about hundred
feet apart, along the track, around which were
huddled the employees in crowds Of eighty TO
one hundred, and among whom were quite number
Of women and Children shouting and singing others
making speeches and roasting oern and potatoes Thus
the night was spent in protecting the barricades Con-
siderable shrewdness manifested by the rioters In
their bockadng the tracks, from the fact that they took
great precaution in not interfering with the Jersey or
Paterson Railroad companies.


The blocades all located about three miles above
Jersey City, and just above the point where the
together Thus the Philadelphia train, and trains
running to Newark, &C., not nterfered with The
only trains that prevented from running those on
the Erie road The blockade barrcades on this road

old trucks and wagons rveted TO the ground by heavy
spikes and placed them old lumber of every

During yesterday morning Mayor Collard, Of Hudson
City, finding that there every probability Of continu
alton Of disorder and rotousness among the crowd
called upon Gen. James T. Hatfield of the Hudson br
gade requesting the aid Of the military in dispensing the
rioters. Gen. Hatfield accordingly Issued the following
order to the Coonels of the First and Second

According to the above order both regiments the First
under command Of Colonel Alexander Shaer, and the
Second Colonel Gregory, were at the Court House at the
appointed hour waiting orders. Among the companies
that turned out in strong force were the Highwood
Guards, Captain Newkirk Of Hoboken, Lieutenant Hop
per commanding; the Independent Guards, of Jersey
City, and Washington Grays, c Hudson City. The force
numbered about hundred srong but entirely insult
cient to attack the rioters who about 700 in
Der.


About four o'clock Sheriff Beatty, accompanied by
General Hatfield Mayor Colard, Rev. Mr. vanetta, Of
tha
and proceeded to the where the rotors had
gregated Notwithstanding that the rain fell in torrents
they remained the ground for nearly two hours enea
yoriug to get the crowd to repair TO their respective
homes and refrain from any further attack the road
The Rev. Mr. vanetta called the crowd together and
addressed them at some length, urging them to dcss
from their otous course. He said that he hoped each
and every of them would take his advice and leave the
ground Immediately. He assured them he
with them long right was their side and would
do all he could to them their money the earliest
opportunity. He told them that they could gain nothing
from their present course and that if the authorities of
Hudson City, who had promised 10 do all they could in
their behalf did not accomplish their undertaking. then
there were still an opportunity to continue their assault
upon the road He hoped, however, in the Of God
that they would desist before the military called out
and many Of them shot down dogs to the earth.


Sheriff Beatty next spoke TO them, urging them to
withdraw from the ground possible. He said
he regretted that they had not been paid their
money, but the interfering with the travel
ing community had nothing to do in the
matter, and they were only interfering with those
who were in way Interested In the affair." He urged
them good citizens and for the sake of their wives and
Children to leave the place at once and remain quiet for


day two until he, with others, could what could
be done in their behalf He said the military fully
armed and equipped to march upon them at any moment
and in they did, and they st persisted in holding
out, many would be seriously injured and doubt
voral killed.


Notwithstanding all that the priest and Sheriff Beatty
sad ii seemed to have but little effect upon the
crowd they kept up continual cry Of shouting and hoot
