them. The effect waa electric; every man of
them surrendered forthwith. The Mercury
says. Sergeant Flint, of the S3d Georgia Regi

the necessity for u draft for men to defend

Governor’s proclamation of this date, and this

they refuse to volunteer, he will then proceed
to draft to 'he number required, by placing in
a bat the names of all persons within the limits
of his command, of the ages aforesaid, who

When there are two regiments of Indepen

officers will meet prior to the day fixed for the

Popular Wrath upon the Negro Worshippers.
A terrible riot commenced In New York on
Monday of last week, and progressing with
fearful violence at last accounts. The Draft
was the pretext, a house where it wee progres
sing being first utterly demolished. Its fierce
ness seems to be directed against Abolitionists,
negroes, and all government officers and sol
diers who oppose them. The papers are full
of the horrible details, but we can onl y make
room for the following as a sample of the nar
rative :
About* o’clock, p. m., a gentleman connect
ed with the press, while standing op the corner
of Forty- sixth street and Third avenue, wss »t
--tacked by the crowd, “here’s a d—d Abolition
ist ; let’s bang him.”
He was seized by the hair and dragged toward
an ayvnlng post, but lormuately something eke
diverting the attention of the crowd.be escaped
up Third avenue —b.it only for a short time,
for a blow with a paving etone on the back of
the bead and one in the face atunned. him so,
that be lost all consciousness
At about 3 o’clock a procession of about five
hundred people marched up First avenue Ml
armed with bars, pistols, etc., threatening vet
geance on ajl persona connected with the draft.
They halted In frmfe of the Eighteenth Ward
Station House in Wr*oty-second street, yelling
in a demoniac manner.
As il by preconcerted aetlon, an att: ck wap
made upon colored men and boys in every part
of the city during the day, crowds of from 100
to 900 persons banting them like bloody
bounds. Several inoffensive colored men were

The Colored Orphan Asylum tin FiTh avemuY
near Forty sixth street) was fired about flv-F
o’clock In the afternoon. The infuriated mob*
eager for any outrage, were turned that way by
the elmple suggestion that the building was lull,
of colored children. TANARUS: ey clamored* around
tbo-Soueo ttke demons, filling the air with yel'a.
A few policemen, who attempted to makes
stand, were foslantly overpowered—several
being severely or fatally injured. While this
waa going on, a few of lhe less evil disposed
gave notice to the inmates to quit the bnild-
iDg.
The al -bt of the helpless creatures stayed for
a moment even the ineensate mob ; bnt tbe
orphans were no eooner ont than tbe work of
demolition commenced. First tbe main build
lng was gutted, and then set on fire.
Shatters and docn weieiorn off and tum
bled Into the streets. These were seized and
torn to pieces almost before they touched the
ground, and, with everything else, carried off
with surprising celerity. Several persons were
injured, and it is supposed some killed, by the
falling of shutters and fornlmre from tbe
jinfiows Even the gutters were hewn'off',
and the chimneys tnm'iicd down.
The Are engines wera there in great numbers,
bnt were not permitted to work, except upon
the adj icent buildings. What Was very marked,
as the destruction i hoceeded, was the absence
of excitement. Things were done as quietly
and cooly by the rioter* as If they were saving
instead of def troylng property.
While this scene was enacting,a large detach
ment of rioters ran down to the enrollment
rooms, corner of Broadway and Twenty-ninth
street. The object here was mere evidently
plunder. Tb»lower part of this fine building
-was composed of stores, filled with costly
goods. Every vestige was carried off. A jew
.elet’s shop was the object ol special attention.
Gold watches, broach,* s, bracelets, breastpins,
and all manner of valuable ahjouterie fl jw abont
in the crowd, flashing in tbe light.
'As soon us the sloies were stripped, the cry
arose—“ Burn the building ! Burn il !! Burn
it!!”
|Half a hundred willing hands were at work
In a moment. The bouse seemed to be fired
Iff :,s mu,y places at once; for It was in flames

And this hapless individual wss John A Ken

TheY ment to kill him. They set out with a
determination to kill him. They beat bim,
dragged him through the streets by bis bead,
pitched him into a horse pond, rolled him in
mud gutters, dragged him through piles of filth
indescribable.
oj!y when they thought him dead did the
mob leave him to give their attention to a dif
ferent line of business in the catalogue of
crime.
About 8 o’lock ip the evening an excited mob
in Printing Honse Square, commenced shout
ing and groaniDg, and soon afterward a large
number of the persons in the crowd armed
themselves with missiles at a pile of bricks in
the neighborhood, and burled them at the
windows in the Tribune office. ■
When the lower windows were demolished
there was a rush made tor the interior of the
counting room. Papers were seized and scat
tered about the street and a match was then
applied to Alpt of paper inside of thopounter.
At this instant a strong police force came upon

rioters. >

and the body was left hanging under s crowd of

when Commissioner Acton ordered a posse of
men to the spot to eui tnc body down.
At a late hour in the evening an assault was
made upon sou e houses in losevelt, near Oak

iumates had to see k refege, a number of the
men dropping themselves from upper window*
to the sireei, to avoid tbe flames and rioters.
About ncou the crowd augmented to great

The Eighteenth ward Police made an attempt
to retake the Armory, bnt were driven back

'leg and jeering, and finally commenced stoning
the mßitary. Capt ia Franklin gave the order
“ about face,” and as soon as ibe soldiers and
the crowd came face to face the military fired a
volley into them, killing and wounding fifteen
of the rioters. - A somber of others fell to the
