Tne bill Was then stormed in the face of a hot fasil- ace of stoves, and the mob began firtog pis- tols. The force answered with a volley,and | getting to close quarters, used their clubs wiih t lling effect. In the charge a young man, the note teller inthe Loidon and San Francisco Bank fell, probably FATALLY WOUNDED. Another citizen is reported shot dead, and a great many were wounded more or less se- sly by Stones and pistol shots.

About a dozen are lying in the drag stores near the scone of action more or less severely injured. This charge BROKE THE COURAGE OF THE MOB, many of whom were captured, and, @ long chain betng stretched across in front of the mati dock, they were marched to it for th present for safe-keeping. The mob at n ime obteined access to the maildock, which Was closed, strongly guarded, and several CANNON PLANTED manding the entrance. In the mean- time the fi burned immense quantities of lumber, mostly belonging to Simpson Bros., McDonald, Mills & Co. ad Starbuck & Goldstein; also the wood yards of O'Con- nell, Higgius & Collins: and @ great deal of similar property owned by various par- Ues.
