Yesterday moiling, about tea e’uloek, tba draft

This Beamed tsbe the sigsal for aa attack upon
the office, for aliaaet upoa tba inataat a perfect
shower es brickbats, paring stoaea and ether
miaailea were hurled front the atreei in'a the
building, which, as course, took arerybody by
sarpriee. Fallowing the shower of stonea came
aa immense crowd, who poured tala tba tftee,
carrying ererything before them.
One of tbe elerke wbo endearored to lava some
of the papare waa imi by the erewd, iba papers
taken irota him by lores aad tora in pieces. Tbe
mob hsd now possession of the building. Is a
few m> msnts ibsreafter a man appeared wub a
can of turpentine, which he poured on the S or of
the office, end selling ire to it, the room was
scoa in a blase. All ihia time the mob kept break

attached la the chics with atones.
Deputy Protest Marshal Vends: poel, ia his
attempt to rescue tae people in tbe bunas, waa at
tacked by the mob, and, though be staled bit she

The fire, which had beta kindled in tbe deck
office, spread rapidly le tbe upper part i the
house, tbe fitmes in a little time commartttsatiag
to ibe three bouses adjoining oa the aurih tcoe,
which were of equal sze with tbe building ecu
pied by the Provost Marshal.
Around tbe bell tower, Fiity-flrstatruet, the mob
had sent their friends to stop tbe bell* 'ro<u cag
ing—but when engine No. Ik aad il wire renting
down Third Avenue, they were chtrre' by the
tneb but not allowed to work.
About 1 o’clock, Chief Bugiater Becker aril red
at the sceaa ot conflagration, and a-ei g how
matters stead, ordered the iremai te gs ta work
and extingaiah tbe flaiaea. The crowd at thia
time raced down Third Avenue, and eoasrquenliy
tbs fireaitn were not meleated. Hieemci. No It
and Me. 11, with scTtral hand oug ses, threw
streams ot water ou the flames, ti ts nevesting
tbe cerflagistion trom exteadisg te lbs neighbor*

Sboitly after 11 o’clock a detachment of Pro
vost Guard, numbering O’teen aid a hat Her, be*
longing to the Invalid Corps, lift the P*ik Bar
raixa and reached the ground about m oa. Open

lied, and closing apon tba guard, wrested their

cl the pieces which bad beau re-lesucd, mta the
crowd. Tbe sold art, tbui disarmed, quickly re
treated, but were purtued by tbe latunaled
throeg.
The pursuit waa kept up as far aa Twentieth
street, when it waa abandoned, and a majority of
tho men escaped ; ene of the soldiers was pursued
ip Forty-first street to First Ayenue, where a
evowd of soma twenty man surrounded him,
knocked him down aud beat him until lie waa in
sensible. A number of women joined in and one
•f them endeavored to stab him witti a bayonet,
but another woman took tbe weapon out of her
haul and earned it off. Tba soldier was lift dead
on tbs walk.
Another of the Guard endeavored to make liia
escape by climbing the rocka near Porty-sccond
street. No sooner, however, was bis intention dis
covered, than another portion of the rioters
"grubbed'’ him, and taking him to tbe top ot the
rocks stripped hie unilonn ofl him, anil after boat
ing him almost to a jelly, threw him over a pieii
pice some twenty feet high on tbe bard rocks be
neath ; not centent with this, stoneri and dut were
thrown at him at ha laid helpless until be was half
Varied.
Boon after th* defeat of the soldiers, a strong
(quad ot police made their appearance in line of
battle. A* auon ai the mob caught Bight of them

and tevotvera, hut alter a content of a few minutes
they wets also forced to retisat, which they did
is good order until they reached Fortieth street,
when one of them discharged his rerolvcr four
times iuto the midst of the throng, shooting a hurra
that was attached to a wagon standing on the cor
ner. A rush wa« made at once for ths officer, who
immediately retreated into a store near hy, the
people of which at once barred the dour and en
deavored to give him protection. The crowd,
however, went to the hack of the house, tore down
the fence, and rushed into the building, seized the
policeman, knocked him down, and beat him in a
feni !' il manner.
Folice Superintendent Kennedy, though in cilia
aans’ dress, was obserred by the’ mob, who mads
a rush at him and kooeked him headlong tot# the
gutter, wbsa sevessl of tbs rioters kicked him
and beat him dreadfully aboat Iks beud. face end
body. Boms one of bis Irlesds who chanced to
be Bear by, recoga.sing Ur. Kennedy, went to
bis assistance and succeeded in rescuing him.
Ur. K-nnedy was taken into a store sna thenee
removed to his retideaee in a earriage. ilia inju
ries, the ugh severe, are net regard.d of a fatal
abaracter, yet will involve his remaining perfectly

The crowd uasrehed through many oi the
streets in the upper part of ths city, compelling
laborers in every quarter to knock off work end
fall ic. A few demurred, but were breught into
the raaks by furieue threats. Altera march of
about an hour, the mob halted in front of Frevoat
Marshal Jenkins’ office, where they ei mmenced
their work of destruction.
The vast crowd swayod to and fro, rasing Irat In thla
dlrccilen, then la that, attaching indiscriminately every
wall dtsu-d man. The general cry was “Down with
the rich earn.” Three gentlemen talking together on
Lexington avenue were act upon and knocked dowa,
narrowly steeping with their lives While the firemen
wereatwurk la Third avenue, Mr. Andrews, of Vir
ginia, ascent'ad a ahanty which stood opposite the burs

Abe at 8 o’clock,?. M., a gentleman connected
with tbe press, while standing oa the corner as
Ferlyeaiktb s reet and Third avsnne, was attacked
by tba erowd, *• here’s a d—d Abolitionist; let’s
bang him.”
He waa seized by tbe hair and dragged tsward
an awning post, but fortunately aemeibiag else
diverting ihe attention of the crowd, he e->caped
up Third avenue—but only for a short time, ter a
blow with a paying siene on the back of the bead
aid or.a 10 tbe face stuunaed him so, that he lost
all eonstiousuess.
At about I o’clock a procession of about fire
bundled people marched up First ayenue all
armed with bars, pistols, etc., threatening venge
ance on all persons connected with the draft.
They halted in front of tbe Eighteenth Ward Sta
tion Home in Twenty second street, yelling in a '
demoniac manner.
As if by preconcerted action, an attack was
made upon colored men and boys in every part of
the city during the day, crowds of from 1: u to sou
persons limiting them’like blood hounds. Several
inoffensive colored men were dragged off the city
cart and badly bsateu, while a number were taken
from carts and drays wkich they wers driving and
terribly maltreated.
Ike Colored Orphan Asylum (in Fifth avenue,
near Forty-sixth street) was bred about five
o'clock in tho afternoon. The infuriated rsob,
eager for any outrage, ware turned that way by
the simple suggestion that tbe builuiug aas full
of colored children. They clamored aroand the
house like demons, filling? tbe air with yells. A
fsw policemen, wbo attempted to make a stand,
were instantly overpowered—several being se
verely or fatally injured. While thia was going
on, a few es the leas evil disposed gave notice to
the inmates to quit the building.
The eight of the helpless creatures stayed for a
moment even the insensate mob ; but the orphans
were no eooner out than the work of demolitoa
commenced. First tks main building was gutted,
and then set on fire.
Shutters and doors, were torn of and 'umbled
int# the streets. These were eeiaed and tern to
piecee almost before they touched the ground,
and, with everything else, carried ofi’ with sur
prising celerity. Severs! persons were injured,
and it is supposed some killed, by the falling of
shutter* and furniture from the windows. Even
the gytters ware hewn off, and tbe cbimaeya
tumbled dawn.
Tbe fire engines were ttier* in great numbers,
but were not permitted ti work, ex ept upon the
adjacent buildings. What was very msrked, as
tbe destruction proceeded, wae the absence of
excitement. Things were done as quietiy and i
coolly by the rioters as if they ware saving in
stead ul destroying property.
While thia eoene ws» enacting, s large detach
meat of rieiers te dess to the enrollment rooms,
corner of Rreadnsy and Twenir-u'nth e:reet.
The objeet here was mere evidently p!uud-r. The
lower part of this fine ouiidicg was composes! es
stores, filled with cosily goods. Every vestige
was carried off. A jeweler s shop was tbe object
of special atunhec. Gold watches, broaches,
bracelets, b’eampme, aud »l I insurer of valuable
b jiHittit flrw ah si in the ciewd, flashing in the
light.
As soen as the eteres were stripped, the ery
arose—’'bun tbe building I Bars it I Burs it f”
Half a hundred willing reads werr at work in
fc momeut. The house seemed ta be Bred in at
many placet at once; for it was in flaws from
garret te basement in fire miautee. Tbe flames
roared in tmelabee of tbe demeas’ throati that
yellad areund them. As at the Asylum, the en
gines were aa hand, hut were forced to br idle.

the adj lining building in which tiny were net
inien-upied.
1 Tbe walls fail nearly simultaneously, and with
an awful sraeb, not twenty minima after the
’ matches were set. Wilbie so hour of ihe time of
be first attack, the mob was off fer ihe Tribune
; i Sice.
Between forthy-foarlh and Fertvseiaht street,
on the Third Avenue, nearly stall kiosk of beaus
tifut new stone and ornamental brick w«rk retail
merchants’ sierra, with dwtilingv attached, waa
deliberately set lire to and burned in (rood day
light, by as infuriated mob; it was hare ibai
other members of the ponoe tores than their Su
perintendent and officers were knocked down by
bricks and (loses ; were beaten dews by clubs
and pieces otiren picket fences and other impro.
need weapons, sad were nearly brained by the
beotwbenls ol the mob.
Toe officer* w-re as tke merest 'playtbiage in
the multitudinous hands of ibis aeon drel mob.
Tbey and tone uebeppy gentlemen wome ill f, r>
tune led them lo ibis yicieily at this instant, sad
who were mistaken for "draft officers.” wore 11-
stantly drugged from their places, were knocked
dowa, were beaten with fists, with curbs, with
s enes—were kickvd in the bend, were pitched
abeut in the crewd frem one inluriaied unban to
another yet more mad with wuiskey and with
rage, until at last they were kicked to the cea-
Soea es the crowd, whose attention had been ata
traoted by a new obiect for peraecution and for
torture.
Alas 1 for this hapless personage—far once no
toriety was knocks—celebrity meant clubs—dis
tinction meant "D—a the Yaukee Femes son of
n (not lady)—down with him—duck him—
drowu him”— all of which they proceeded to do,
save the latter.
And this hapless individual was Jehn A. Ken
nedy, Superintendent of the Police force of the
city of New Turk. The mob nearly killed him.
Tbev meant to kill him. They set out with a de
termination to kill him. They beat him, dragged
him through the streets by his bead, pitched him
tato a horse poid, rolled him in aaud gutters
dtaggad him through piles of flth indescribable!
Only when they thought him dead did the
mob leave him to give their atten ion tea difw
ierent line of business in the catalogue of crime.
About 8 o’clock ia the eremag an excited mob
in Printing House Square, commenced shouting
and gtoaning, and soon afterward a la-ge num
ber es the persons in the crowd armed them
selves with missiles at a pile es bricks us the
neighborhood, aid hurled Ihsaa at the windows
in the Tribune office.
When the lower windows were demolished
there was a iush made for tba interior of the
counting ineni. Papera were armed an.i scat
tered about the street and a match was then ap
plied tea lot of paper inside of the Conner. At
this instant a strong police force came upon the
full run act ess the Park, scattering the rioters.
Inthe evening a large body *1 Irishmen and
Irish women of the lowest clast tore up a large
peruon ol the track of the Fourth avenu* railroad
in lie upper pat tof the city.
Another band of Irishmen ia the Math Ward
canghi a colored man passing through ihe street
whom they b.-at, then haog-d to a tr<e at,oi
which they lighted a lire under Ihe b-dy and
burned his clw'hir.g off.
| This was iti Ciarxeon, near Hudson streets; and
the body was le.'i under acr w«t t >t the
Miiesi'in wretches until nearly midutght, when
Commissioner Acton oidered a posse »I men to
the spot to cut tie body down.
At & lare hour in tbe evening en a.-smlt was

The riot of Tuesday elosely resembled that of tbs

and the crowd then rushed in, destroying the Armory.
Two policemen were killed by leaping from the wia

a crowd gathered at the corner of 47th street and 6th

The Richmond Examiner contains the following
information concerning General Q iincey A. Gila
more, the Yankee warrior who is now menacing
Charleston :
General Quincey A. Gilmore, the successor of
Hunter, is in command of the Yankees. He is
considered a very dangerous man where forts er
other works are to be reduced by artillery. He is
a native of Ohio, and, in 1844, graduated at West
Point at the bead of his class. For a year or
two after his graduation he was a Professor at
that Institution. Subsequently he was assigned
to the doty of experimenting upon the power of
P'Ojecti'es upon earth, woed and earthworks, and
speut several years in this duty, acquiring in that
time more experience and knowledge on this s*b
j cl than any man in this country. The more per»
tectly to record the result* of his experimeDt* he
took pbot< graphs of the effect of every shot fired.
At Fort Pu.askt he, for the first time, brough*
his skill to the test of actual experience; Pulaski
was considered next to Sumter in impregnability
Gilmore getting his guns to within six hundred
voids knocked it to pieces as he might havo done
a h< use of cards.
When we say that Gilmore is a man of intellec*
and knows ali about caution, we have said all that
cau be suid in his favor. His cUsiins ea represent
h«m as a fellow c f low proclivities, who, whilst at
West Point, w«b rn'her more than suspected of
cowardice.

trary, many families that has beeu absent for a
tweivtf.meßih, or more, have returned within tbe
last low weeks, under the belief that all prospect
ot an attack until autumn bed passed. Home
#Lce more, they seem inclined to remain there, if
not to ahare ihe fate of the city, at least until the
last fl&ment for flight shall Save arrived. Bust
nee": rPtll sorts is prettv well suspended, the
ycuu£ men going into the sea the old men
into the street* or at home, doing what they can
to back up &nd provide for the defenders. The
magnificent sea wall known as the Battery, is
crowded every afternoon, and often at mid-dav,
with tbe ladies of the city, ssufting the cool air
from the ocean, or listening to the thunders of the
feet and forts aa they cerne roaring over the
w«t6'*s of the beautiful bay. Those who visit the
hospitals meet the angelic form in every ward and
passage wav, and oy the bedside of tv r ry sufferer.

Rut, granti g that theie has b tm remtssnees,
that itaags have been left undone ihat ought t j
have beeu done, it does not necessarily follow that
tbe miliiary authonties are responsible. When
absorbed with an effect, we are very apt to over
look tne cause, an excited state et the public
mind being unfavorable to rational investigation.
Are tbe slave owners of South Carolina, aye, ot
Charleston herself, free from blame in the mattei?
Taxing it for granted that they are willing to face
the enquiry, we may observe that for many
months past we Luve seen repeated and urgent
calls in the Charleston papers tor the planters of
the State to send iu their negroes for w >rx on tbe
forufications. The last Legislaiare of the State,
impressed with the importance of the subject,
panned a law mipoßdig a heavy tine tor a reiu*ai
to furnish tha deaireu labor. Still more recently.
Gen. Beauregard aud the Mayor ot Cuarleslon is
sued a most urgent appeal to tbe Stuie end.—
What has been ihe rehiut of their luquent Calls
for aid to the uiliUiyV iho prHbeut utate ot ttu
defenses answers ihe question, and cooclu. irely.
Alter more than .w# >*a t or pr<pai»tiou, ihe.
enemy are knocking at ihe /.*ry gates ol the cuy,

The paper* ot this ni«»; ning contain an app. u
and stateuient from the Governor which -h*»w me

mat the planters, many of iheiu, t vbr to pay the
tine rather than rtspoud to a * n;ai pub ic necessity
involving tbe lives ol tbourmn ol tLetr fellow*
citiaens, and perhaps their own liberties. The
negroes o. Charleston w re impressed a few days
ago for this same work , why was it not uoue
months ago? Georgia, l am proud tu sav, has
seta bettei example. The*# things may be very
well taken into consideration wiien we c*-me lu
enter up judgment against tbe delinquents.
I sincerely trust that ihevigoiou# counsels of
our Generals, and the uasu passed valor ot our
troops, may yet overcome uM obstacles and deti

Neither torrid best above, nor burning sands be
mtth, seem sufficient to deter the ii defatigablc
Yank.es from tnrir favorite tactics ot digging.
Oue man was silled on the pa aptt oi Battery
Wagner tO'dsy by a Yankee sharpshooter hall
buried in the sand & half mile off, and it is re
ported that a sh >t from Batiery Wagner unhorsed
three of the enemy’s cavalry. The day was spent
in the regular routine of shelling between the
belligerents. The iron clads'seem to have hauled
off, perhaps with tne view of economising their
heavy ammunition preparatory to the grand as
sault.
it is stated in Monday’s Ueuublican that tbe
Tattnall Guaids wt-re not in the bauie of Satur
day. having Det na* igned to other duly. Thin
is a mistake. The whole o* Col. O uistead’s com'*
mand participated in t..al b.oody engaueroeni,
and the Guards, with me r fearless leader, Capt.
Davenport, did their ’ull share of execution. The
Wa»hipgt»»n Toi no ears commanded by
Lieut. J« ko C. Rowland, and not by t'upt Cooper,
as siated in ibe ssuie artic e. The Captain, from
tndihposiitoD or some o'her g(,od cause, did not

Oglethorpe Light inunirv, Comps r B, is com

I beard to day of an act or magoaiiimity to a
fallen foe of which but lew of are capable. Ai
the close of the ba'tle on Saturday, which was
fought at tuch.clcee quarters that the hd(J
