New Yoke, June 12. In the course of his sermon at the ded ication oi tS>: Paul's Catholic Church at Harlem, Sunday, Archbishop UcClosky alluded earnestly to the threatened Or angemen’s demonstration on Wednesday night. He said: “We all know the dan ger whiok_ threatens the community in the course ot the ensuing week. The newspapers have agitated it; rumor has wafted it to our ears and even the dead walls are placarded with lowering evil.— livery thing tells as that a systematic and combined eilort is now being made to ex cite an auti-Cutkolic movement in the community. * The procession announced to take place in our streets on Wednes day next, is intended by the participants to produce the end spoken of. Therefore I earnestly exhort every Catholic to be ware of even going near that Orange pro cession on Wednesday next. I hope the proper authorities will see the wisdom oi preventing it. With all my soul I en treat you, Irish Cutholics, to make no counter demonstration of any kind. Do nothing that would give your enemies the cbunce they count on to divert to you the odium which those Orangemen will be sure to bring upon themselves. If they be allowed to carry out their uuprovoked programme of silly oif«nsiveuess unmo lested, they are not worthy of recogni tion. Eveu as foes avoid them as you would auy other pest. Let those Or augemen alone; let them severely alone.’ Alter stating that should a conflict occur, the Catholic cause and the Irish name would sutler, the Bishop continued: warn all parents, husbands and brothel's, to go to their enjoyments and attend to their ordinary avocations as usual on Wednesday next, and return peacefully to their homes in the evening. Let Cath olic mothers, wives and sisters, remain at their homes and attend to their home da ties, and allow no unworthy curiosity to draw them near this Orange procession.” This morning, seeing that the regiment was prepared for an attack, one brawny individual said : “Come boys, let’s go down to the Seventh Ward and get the bids, and we’ll clean oat the d—d Dutch.” A majority of the mob then started off under the leadership of this man to get the lads. Prince street is alive with men speaking in whispers, who, when they sre any stranger coming, “keep silent.” There was a report of a fight at Hiber nian Hall, bnt before the police reached there 4t was stopped and ail quiet. The procession commences at 2 o’clock. Firing has been hci.rl for the last hour, bat no casualties reported. A number of persons armed with pis tols. knives and hatchets were arrested. They had been drinking freely. New York, July 12.—About a thousand of the natives on Ninth Avenue furiously attacked the Swiss and Italian laborers, compelling them to quit work.. About this time the uptown laborers quit work, and were arriving in great somaimuSnsn wtmv* About 1 p. m. the crod greatly increased around Hibernia Hall, and demonstra tions became so threatening that orders v. ere given to disperse them. A large body of police backed by two regiments, proceeded to the spot and met fierce re- sistence. Clubs were freely used, causing several broken heads. The crowd grad ually gave way. 1:30 p. si.—All gangs marching up town suddenly dispersed. This looked ominous, the authorities judged their intention to be to congregate on some point on the route of the procession. Learning that it was the intention of the Jersey Orangemen to cross the river and celebrate the day with their New York Brethren, Governor Hofiman sent word to the Jersey authorities warn ing the Orangemen not to come to New York and parade, as he could afford pro- tection only to New Yorkers After much delay the Orange proces sion started, at half past 3 p. m., down Ninth avenue, amidst confusion, crowded windows and a dense multitude. Their strength was only four hundred. They moved off to the tune of “Hail! Colum bia,” with King William’s banner and the Stars and Stripes flying, and deafen ing and enthusiastic cheers. Marshal Johnston headed the proces sion on horseback. The Orangemen all wore rosettes and badges, or other insig nia. As the procession moved down the viver, several severe fights took place with the police, who made frequent sor ties on the crowd, resulting in loss. The procession Was accompanied by a crowd of twenty-five hundred. Several shots were fired from windows,house-tops, from and behind trucks, one striking an officer of the 7th Tegiment who immediately levelled his rifle and fired into the crowd! This appeared to be the signal for a gen eral fusilade, and the 8th regiment imme diately fired into the crowd. The 7th and 9th regiments immediately followed suit—some firing indiscriminately into windows, others, taking more deadly aim and firing into the crowd of men, women and children, mowing them down in a shocking manner. since died.

The Ku-KIux Committee met to-day and heard one harangue from a swift wit ness from Georgia, who was a Democrat to within six months ago, and then join ed the Radicals. Eves, a Radical from North Carolina, also testified. The Committee manifest a decided re luctance to summon witnesses in behalf of the Democrats, and make every diffi culty in the way. Mr. Beek and Mr. Blair succeeded to-day, with some diffi culty, in having witnesses summoned from North Carolina. Important wit nesses were asked for from Arkansas, to show how the power of the Administra tion had been employed in that State, to qnash indictments againt Senator Clay ton for electioneering frauds, and were refused. The Radicals are not willing to have their doings investigated. jiojfnq yi . v' u A dispatch from Xenia of the same date, to the samerpaper, says: ,,i , f A fierce storm of wind and thunder passed, over this place this evening. It commenced about 3 o'clock, with dark, heavy clouds advancing rapidly from the est and driving before them vast quan tities of dust, leaves, branches and pieces of lumber. Immediately afterward a whistling wind, blowing apparently straight as an arrow, rushed along the earth, dashing down trees, unrooting small buildingsj prostrating fences, and Hying everything moveable about in the liveliest style. Thu storm, so far as 1 have heard, was the heaviest in the neighborhood of the of the soldiers’ or phans’ home. About thirty large trees upon the grounds belonging to the home j were prostrated, some being broken on like pipe stems and otherwise being torn up by the roots. One tree fell across the corner of one of the cottages, carrying away a small portion of the roof and crea ting considerable alarm among the in mates, but doing no other damage. The new board fence around the cultivated part of the grounds was crushed in a halt a dozen places. A rain then set in and fell fiercely for an hour, the high wind prevailing the whole time. The clouds broke away towards evening, and there was a sunset of great graudeur and mag- n ificence. The telegrap 1 1 operator at tins place informs me that the wires axe pros trated in various directions. STARTLIN G RUMORS. BLOODY SCENES! New York, July 12.—Governor Hoffman issued a proclamation yes terday that the Orangemen be protec ted, whereupon the police superin tendent, Kelso, withdrew the order forbidding the procession. The Orangemen appeal to the old Know Nothings to reorganize. It is understood that Gen Dowell will co-operate with the State authorities. Circulars have been issued for the formation of a Protestant League~of America, wherein it is asserted that the claims of Roman Catholicism are incompatible with civil and religious liberty. It is understood that six thousand have been enrolled for this organization. "Yesterday batteries were placed at most points where an attack on ihe procession was apprehended. There is more hope this morning of a peaceful issue. Police and military ’ar rangements are complete. The streets in the up-town districts have the appearance of a holiday.— Groups of loungers are to be seen on near ly every corner. Gangs of men—five and six in number—may be noticed going in the direction of the Western part of the city. Altogether affairs look very threatening. The men in the mar ble and stone yards along East river, have nearly all left work, it is supposed, for the purpose of opposing the Orange men’s parade. Rumors are rife that rioting is now going ou in the upper part of North Avenue. THE RIOT! Noon—The much talked of and long looked for riot commenced about a quar ter past eleven this morning. Reports have commenced coming in, The scene that ensued baffled all de scription. Numerous crowds assembled on the corners of blocks adjacent to the bloody scene in the direction followed by the police, who clubbed them unmerci fully. The shrieks of women from the windows were heartrending, and some Irish women tore their bonnets and hats from their heads, and waving them at the u I military, cried, “Down with the Oraage- “' men !” The detectives, in the mean while, were busy dubbing and arresting all persons having arms about them. Between fifty and sixty were killed, and eighty-two wounded by the firing of the military into the crowd. The woun ded were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital. Many legs and arms were amputated. Daring the melee Colonel Fisk met with a serious accident and retired. As the procession went jalong the detectives cleared the sidewalks, arresting all per sons who had arms concealed. * Police kept clear passage. As the Or angemen moved into Union Square they were met with yells and hisses. On arriv ing at Cooper institute, procession halted and bivouacked. A vast crowd had assem bled in the neighborhood. The military and police fell back on different crowds, and managed by dividing public atten tion to enable Orangemen to disperse un? observed. Col. Spencer, of the 9th Regiment, was seriously wounded, ‘-■•-s— T Abont forty dead bodies have been tak en to the Morgue for recognition, while there is supposed to be quite as many more taken to their homes.

Mr. Henry Duffis, a bricklayer, who had but a short time since come to Sa vannah for work in his line of business, was taken suddenly ill yesterday and died, evidently from the effects of the extreme heat. The deceased was a young man well known in Charleston, where he has a large circle of friends and relatives. From the SanderBville Georgian, 12. Some twelve or more citizens of Lamb’s District, in this county, were surprised the other day at receiving a visit irom one of Uncle Sam’s officials, who informed them their presence was wanted in Sa vannah to answer the charge of violating the Ku-Klux Law, said charge having been preferred against them by a negro of the connly. They went down Satur day morning. Four of them, viz: Messrs. Ezra New, E. M. Smith, Wm. Smith and W. P. Smith, were tried, discharged and returned home Sunday morning.
