Shortly after his nomination Mr. Lincoln was prevalied upon to remove his oflice to a room {n the State-Housc, adjoining the office of O. M. Hatzh, the then Sccrecary of State. Herc be tpeat most of his time receiving his friends, ate tending to hls correspondence, consulting with Jtents, and generally oceupying his time through the day.

It will be remembered that an unprecedented event in the history of the Opposition occttrred that year in the New York canvass. ‘There wera three candidates, Breckinridge, Douglas, and Bell, opposed to Lincoln, and, though thelr re- spective adherents hated cach other with foroc- ity unprecedented, they all hated Mr. Lincoln worse yet.

The man who made this startling discov- ery, repardlees of the consoquences, even i€ hie had forscacen them, rounded this alarm fmimedi- ately in his own tongue, which eveeybody un- stoud to mean destruction and death by burning. The utmost confusion prevalled and & panic ensned, The large number of Chi- nese in the nuditordum rushed frantlcally for the dour, while those packed in the galery dhl the'same. Some twenty-flve or thirty men from the lower part of tho house reached the dvor first, and were almost slmultancously over- whelmed by the frightened crowd surging down from the gallery. “The doors, which are double atl each about twelve fect lhls:h by slx wide, were elosed, but the REBIATLESS TORRENT of yellow humanity poured aovwn the stairs, through them without attemnting to open elther, and the courequence was that the fore- most crowd, aboat thirty In number, were scareely out before the stalrivay broke and the massive door fell upon and crushed them to the floor, while over it crowded and jostled the dense audicnee without a thouirht of “the conse- quences. In the meantime the premrture five, which had made no headway, was summardly ¢uenched by o Christian Chinaman, named dant Quinn, who, besldes stamiping upon it, took ofl his coat and covered it. The actors upon the stage were cutirely fgnorant of {he cause of the panic, and did not stop Lo uquire concerning 1L, but continued with their perform- soee, which hiad the effect of staying many of the trightened Chlnese who were TRAMPLING EVERYTHING DOWN in their eflorts to effect anexit, The passage of the denre crowds through the entrance and the beart-rending #hiricks of the crushed and dying wnder the doors slurmed acveral policemen on Jackson etrect, who immediately endeavored to ffect nu entrance Into the theatre and sent Lo the police atation for assistance. Officer Duf- field, a speetal on Jackson etrect, was one of the first white men who cesayed to stem the panfe- stricken tide flowing out 'of thedoorway, and he was obliged to use his club vigorously before he could stop a ¢ingle man in his way. Holf-a-doz. en stalwart policemen from the watch which was just nbout to Jeave the atation for duty on thelr respective beuts, repafrtd quickly to the scene, and the combined effurts of o dozen of- flcers were necessary to stop the oulgoing Chl- nese. The work was necomplished by knocking several Celestinls about, and the remainder, re- aliziog that the danger in the theatre, whatever it x:l'ns. had disappeared, fell back on the crowd an CAECKED THEIR FIIANTIC COMPANIONS, By this tinie Capt. Douglua with a dozen more policetnen arrived, with large crowds of white e, who, hearing the alarm, had rushed to the spot. The railing of the eialrway leading from the gallery to the lower floor had ziven way, and several of the frightencd men had fallen down, only to bo crushed nnder foot by their equally terror-stricken companions. The tide having Leen ehecked, the otlicers ralsed the prostrated door and removed the dead and dylng from boneath it. Bomo were stone dead, while ull under it were more ur less infurcd, Ninetcen were conveyed to the street dead, and seven otbers who were rapidly dying, TIE BODILS were ranged aloue the sidewalk, The entrance to the theatre, a linll about furty feet in length by eome twelve [n width, aceupled on one side by a couple of Chineso trult venders, away, aud the panfestricken sudience allowed to pass out.
