All through the morning partics of men and boys might have been seen walking north on Blue Isiand avenue toward the point where tho Aght at the Ialsted-astrect viaduct was to pro- gress, and after the carlicr disturbances at that place had been somewhat quieted.

APTBR THES OPERATIONS DULING TIE DAY the Second Reghnent marched from the flal- sted street vinduct to Twelfth and Halsted Stevety, where o halt was called, and the com- niand stacked arms preparatory to preparing for the work of the night. The early evening ours were begulled by the men in overlooking thelr accoutrements, juspectiug arms, aud in placlog each tudlyidual for the desperate work that seemed impending. An Immense throng ot innocents, strikers, and ruillaue hemmed fu the Second, or rather held on to thelr Banks, until the arrival of the Twelfth street squad of police, who relicved the monot- ony of the hour by belting unruly rioters wheu- ever and wherever presented. This persuasive force was conviuclog, and the mob retreated in hot haste tu every directlon, but only to rally and then tu swarm as before, Among the mob were A NUMBER OF WOMEM AMD CHILDREN, y vho indulged in yile epitbets, aud occasionally Yurew stuncs af the guardians of the peace. | ‘be police, after making numerous and viger- Ur upplicutivus of their clubs to the tender vate of sbo crowd, drove = them away, and up to 7 o'clock compar- alive quictnde relned fn the vielnity. Ascarly ns 8 o'clock there was every Indication ofa rlot, since the corners of Eleventh and Twelfth and Halsted streets were besieged by hundreds of desperate characters, and atmong them the yilest thugs of the eluing of the city. But few tndusteions workingmen were in the mobs. Notwithstanding the threatening attl- tude of the mob, both police and milltary were cool and cullected, and apparently cager for the strife, During the most threatening pe- Hol a Thinung reporter walked = up and down the line of the Second Regiment, and found that the entire command was anxfous to try issues with the enemy, Just about the tine the mob was most antagonistic an order was given the police to charte, ant they did so determinedly, and the result was that the mob scattered, howling Itke coyotes, In the direction of the viaducts, During the brlef {intermission accorded them, the Bee ond Reghnent was supplied with blankets from an oxpress wagon, After which the command was given to march toward the Ialated street viaduct, where [t was understood that bloody work was to oe done, The buys in blue marched na firmly os if they were ou dress-parade. Along the route the streets were lined on elther side by scowling countenances, Not an encouraging word was uttered, but, on tho contrary, expressions Iike these from the brutes: “Thope they'll atl be sent to Hell? “Damn them, they have the arma, or they wouldn't dare inarch up here sodetlantly,”’ te, ete, to all of which no answer was made, but the deterinined expression of the soldiers gave evidence that they were in deadly carncst, and meant business. “Upon arriving on, Ialsted Btrect, Letwe Fourteenth and Fifteenth, apart of the Infected district ” was struck. dt was inthis nelghborhood the night before that the riuters firat tasted the Ieaden bail, and {twas belleved that frum this polut toward the yladuct the fighting would be The alde- walks, duurgteps, windows, and cyeu housetops were Yound vo be crowded with: hard-looking characters, and Col.

Consequent- ly adetall of men cleared the thoroughfare, while other squads notified the Inbavitants to pull fu their = heads and leave the housectops else a volley would be fired at them. The warning was heeded, and compurative quiet followed. A moment later Maj. Finney. recetved Information that a num- ber of roughs were congregated on a nefghbor- {ng housctup for the ostenalbly purpose of fr- ing on the troupa when occasion should present itself, A detail soon relieved the root of the houee of its obnoxloys oecupants. Hardly had thle safeguard heen accomplished when a start- ling report reached headquarters that the Com- munists were In force at the viaduct, and reparing to march toward the Tweltth Street Btation-Ilouse. The regituent at this time was ato paride rest, and 4nan instant the orders, “ Attention !? “Shoul- der arms!” were given in rapid tones. Tho command was then divided, Companies E, F, and Hf, under command of Maj. Finuey, remalo- ing on the reserve, und the rest of the command marching in the directlun of the viaduct. The Uisposition of tho reserve was thought to be adnifrable, as tt protected the rear aud flanks of the positton, while at the sane thine acting as a ready support to the malu column, After the departure of this Intter, fickets were thrown out and established ou all of the cross streets and alloys, and the reaerve proceeded to bivou- ae for the night. Thus far nothing of a start- ling character had occurred, but a moment later, out uu the still afr rang A VOLLEY OT MUSKETRY, followed by a fuw pattering shots, and up in the direction of the Viaduct came the sounds of strc. This was a trying moment for the 101 hg reserve. But veterans could not hay acted better. The men sprang to thelr arms aml stood like a granite coluinn. There was everything In their beuring entiticd to praise, and nothing to condemn. Col.
