Tne Uovernor, upon make inz his appcarance, was knocked on the head and left fnsensible, Ile, however, re- covercdl after some time, . and mado bis escape. His family also escaped, almost naked, o the woods. The mutincers then re- leased the convicts, and, nltogether, they num- bered nearly 200, armed with rifies. The fol- lowlng day the mutineers committed the most incredible excesses in the way of wanton killing, burning, and sacking. Next day the mutincors descrted the place, carrylng off sl the public funda and much private property. Tho munt!- neers burned' all the public property and a number of stores; in fact, thie best part of tho town {s In ashes. Tha streets wera strewn with the dead bodfes of the killed.

The hospital was burned with five wounded men {n it.
