MORNING EDITION—MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1859. THE BI0T OF THE BERGEN TUNNEL MEN. ‘The Track Finally Cleared—Arrest of About &o, The scene in the vicinity of the slaughter house yester- day was very exciting, and on the firet appearance of the military bid fair to result in bloodshed. The civil and military authorities were vory loth to resort to forcible means, and used overy effort to dissuade the tannel mn from persisting in the course they had resorted to. ‘The Hudson brigade, consisting of the First and Second regiments under Brigadier General Hatfield, left their quarters at the Court House shortly before ten o'clock, and marched to the junction, from whence they were cou- veyed to about one-fourth of a mile from the slaughter house. Here they disembarked and formed in line. At this time the tunnel men, some 800 strong, aseem- dled in the vicinity of the slaughter houge, commenced footing, yelling and bidding deflance. One of their lead- ers, flourishing a cudgel, exclaimed, ‘Ouch to tlicir souls, there’s 700 of us here; every one of you take your man, and wo’ll s00m rout them.” ‘The military, including a couple of field pieces mounted upon a platform car in advance of the locomotive, then moved upto the first obstructions, about fifty rods from the slaughter house. At this juncture a large number of the rioters rushed down in front of the soldiers, bid ting de- fiance to them, and heaping imprecations upon them in unmeasured terms. Rev. Father Vonatta here addressed the rioters, who paid no attention to him, and he shortly desisted. Mayor Collard then mounted the platform car and read the riot act, requesting the men to leave and allow the care to pass. One of them remarked, “ This is no riot; we want our money.” Mayor Collard—‘ It looks very much like a riot.” Another man said, ‘‘ We want our money that we've ‘worked this two months hard for, and we have a right to it”? Another said, ‘We do not want to do any harm on God or man, or chick or child. We only want our money. Give us that, and we will clear the track ouselves. They promised us the money on the tenth of the month.” Another of the tunnel men said, ‘We endanger our lives every day for a dollar or nine shillings. Now if we cannot get our money for this, to get food for our wives and children, we may as well div as not.’? Laborers then commenced clearing obstructions from the track, when they were attacked, and a skirmish com. menced between the tunnel men and police. Officer J. 8. Beach, of Jersey City, received a blow from a club on the cheek bone, but no other persons appeared injured, At this time some stones were thrown against the mili- tary, which act was denounced by must of the rioters; at this time the rioters were rolling stones upon the track to prevent the cars from proceeding; they also placed “frogs” of two hundred pounds weight, rails and everything moveable without being interfered with. The advance company Were then ordered to charge bayonets and march, when the crowd gave way. The brigade formed a line each side of the obstructions, and the laborers removed them. The military moved forward and an attempt was made to proceed with the locomotive, whon half a dozen Irishmen sprung forward and seizing a “frog,” tossed it upon the track. Mr. Brown, a bose at the tunnel, addressed the men, and said that if they would desist he would promise them that Mr. Seymour would pay them the coming week. Sheriff Beatty then addressed them, saying that Mr. Seymour had told him that he would pay the men the first of next month without fay, and that during that time they could have a plenty toeat fromthe store. He added— “Gentlemen, ‘f Mr. Seymour comes here and says you will be paid on the first of the month, will you be satis. fed.”? Votecs—*No, NO, uo."? Mr. Wills, a conductor, was surrounded by a party o the men, who attempted {p offer him violence; but he was rescued uninjured. A stone was thrown athim, which took effect upom the Sheriffe head, sMgUty IguZIEg UNE. Many of the rioters denounced this act, and were in fa vor of keeping the track as long as possible without using violence. By this timo the rioters had placed obstructions for a long distance in the rear of the cars, such as trucks, iron rajls, huge stones, beams of wood, &c, The military were again wheeled, and Sheriff Beatty called upon the civil citizens to assist in protecting the track. His demand was received with greans and shouts, and there did not appear to be a disposition to take part. At this time there could not have been less than five thousand people present, some of the more cautious having stationed themselves upon the surrounding hills, ‘A gang of men then commenced removing the obstructions, and the train and military moved down to the car houses a short dis tance belew. After passing along, the rioters again ro- placed the obstructions, and were in great gtce, chocring, swinging their hats and using other demonstrations of Joy, with crics of “ Victory.”? ‘A consultation was then held by the authorities, and, as many of the ringleaders had been spotted, it was de- cided to arrest and lock them up. As soon as the first man was arrested the rioters made a rush to rescue bim, and some persun fired @ shot among the military without effect. They then moved along up the road again, and iv the course of an hour succeeded in arresting about forty of the ringleaders, which had the effect of dispersing nearly atl of the re: mainder, and no further attempts were made to block ap the tack, The prisoners were taken into the baggage car aud firmly bound band and foot. The laborers then rine ved the main obstructions which have been upon the track. The military, together with many others, were then ferved with refreshments, after which the prisoners, about forty in number, were taken to the Hudsun couuty jail. The following are the names of the largest portion of them:— Henry Dixon, Dennis Hay, Phelix McCarty, Michael Lyon, Edward McBride, Joseph Headen, Micha! Welch, John Murphy, Thos. Noonan, John Nichois, Raw. Riley, Henry Dugen, John Driscol, Ki. Coiligan, Paul Sheau, Pat. Woods, Jus. Gilroy, Robt, Sutton, John Leonard, John Conover, Jus. Keily, Pat. Shea, Wm. Farra!, Wm. Cutter, Fred. Scott of New York, Nupoleon Dugan of New York, Fatk. Smith, Dennis McGowan, Elw. Coaner, Win. Holmes, John Kilpatrick, Jacob Ciares, a boy, Michael Heury, Daniel Haley, and abont eight others, Alter these prisoners had been locked up in the jail the Mayor, with about twenty of the special poticomen, companied by the military, proceeded to search tho sha ties, for the purpose of arresting such of the rioters as could be identifi Upon approaching the shanties about 100 of the m and secreted themseives in the de duehes in the vicinity. The first shanty they came to was fastened, and the woman inside threatened to shoot th: first man that entered. The door was broken open, aud the woman's husband was captured. Tho officers’ pro- ceeded trom place to place until thoy capturod sixteen more of the rioters, making nearly seventy porsons%n all arrested, The military again marched to the siaughtor house, nd remained untit the cattle trains arrived and were unloaded. ‘They then returned to the court house, doli- vered up their prisoners, aut the companies wore dis- missed, with orders to hold thomselves in readiness. One of the rioters whem the officers atletapted to arrest was fired upon four times without effct. The rioters also bad a two pw fleld pisce in a corn field near the slaughter honse, which they succeeded in getting away before it could be captured. HUDSON CITY. Yesterday was one of the most exciting days that has been seen in Hudson City or Hudson county tor years. As reported in yesterday's Heratp, the military composed of the First and Second regiments, under command of General James T. Hatfield, remained on duty acths Court House all night, nothing particular trauspiring, owing to the severe storm. About seven o’eloc Saturday, the miliary proceeded to the Newkirk Hotel, where thay breaktasted, and at eight o'clock the troops were called in rank to proceed to the railroad aud remove the obstruc tions, General Hatfleld having received the following order from Mayor Collard, of Hudson City, he at ones called the troops together, and prepared them for their march to the scene where the rioters were congregated :— ORDER FROM MAYOR COLLARD. Hovson Cry, Sept. 18, 1859, Gryenat Hatririy:—If in your deliberate judgment it shal become neceasury for the protection of those iinder your com: mand, while in the discharge of your duty, in aiding me in the fuppression of the existing riot among the laborers of the Erie Railroad Company, or in protecting those who should be en. gaged in removing the obstruction pixced upon the track of said Railroad Company, to use your fire arms, you have my famaent and authority for so do and you Will not walt tine wh crder from me, but use your own discretion aa to the me when it shall become necessary to fire upon these men. n We may succeed in our endeavors to restore ne order without such a fntal alternative, L remain yours, tc. G. J. COLLARD, Mayor of Hudson City, About half past nine o'clock the military, having been been provided with 18 round of ball cartridges, took up their line of march, accompanied by several special potico men and citizens of Hudson City. Among them wore George W. White, Fsq., Mayor Collard, Sheriff Beatty, Alderman Montgomery, ex-Mayor Carpe..tae aud several others. They proceeded to Bergen Point, where they took « ‘special train, and proceeded up the track to where the rioters were assembled about five hundred strong, in- cluditig between three and four thousand outsiders. | Ar. riving at the Point the Guard were ordered to disembark and preparations were to preceed to remove the ob- structions on the road. the crowd, the greatest consternation prevailed, and hoot- Be al dle Ie wity aang moll the rors them.

Not- withstanding his men were on several bodily injured, he refrained from firing upon them and finally suc- ceeded in making over twenty urrests without bloodshed. No uttle credit is also due to Col. Shaler, of the First regi- ment, and Col. Gregory, of the Second regiment, for their prompt course in the discharge of their unpleasant duty. [be men also showed themselves soldiers in every instance, which was remarked by many of the citizens of Hudson. Lieutenant E. J. Tryon, of the Highwood Guard, was struck in the side with a stone, the same hitting his re- volver, which went off, the ball entering his left side and passing out through his pocket book, a very lucky escape from serious injury. master ‘Terry @ narrow escape from being hit on the head with an axe. One of the railroad men was seriously injured im the head by a cut from a stone thrown from the crowd; algo one of the constables. A two-pound brass cannon was on the ground in the bands of the rioters; but the military were unable to capture it. After every argument had been exhausted by Mayor Coliard, General Hatfleld and several others in trying to digsuade the rioters from continually ou the obsta- cles, after they had been removed by the laborers em- ployea by the raiiroad,at about one o’clock a consultation was held, and it was determined to arrest the most pro- minext of the rioters. Accordingly the baggage car at- tached to the train was flitted up for the reception of pri- souers; a large coil of rope was cut into short and unrayelled to be used in tying up the rioters after being arrested. Soon the word was given that a!l the arrange- ments to receive prisoners were perfected, and in a few aulnutes after Mayor Collard appeared with the first pri- woner, a thicket brutal ing fellow, who gave the vame of Michael McAndrew. His arms were tied behind bim, his legs were tied together and he was squatted in one corner of the car, looking with vengeful eye on those who had him custody. McAndrew had not been arrested but a tew minutes, when nearly 600 ef the most turbulent spirits surrounded the car, and with oaths and im demanded the re- iease of the prisoner. The military at this time were some little distance ahead of the train, and the small guard stationed in the jail car cocked their muskets and revolvers, expecting every moment to see an attempt made to reecue McAndrew. The position of things was 800m made known to General Hatfield, and a portion of the troops was marched to the train and stationed at either as to repulse any attack that might be made. The ud his squad of epecial policemen were not idle in meantime, and arrests were made with rapidity and decision. Some of the officers of the First and Se. cond Regiments volunteered to act as officers, aud Pay- master Terry, of the First Regiment, is entitled to great praise fer bis quict bravery.

This was a young American who claimed to be a cousin to Mayor Collard, and stated that he joined the Ist regiment (Hudson Brigade) but a week previous. The Mayor was made acquainted with the arrest of Holden, but refused to release him, as it was ciaimed that he assaulted a special police offver with a stone. When this last prisoner had been arrested it was quar- ter of three o’clock P. M., and the train was siowly backed down to Bergen Junction, a distance of about three quarters of a mile. The military marched on either side of the train; and atthe Junction the prisoners were janded. The military then formed in hollow square; the prisovers were them marched in pairs between soldiers and taken to the Bergen county jail and locked up; the streets were lined with spectators, and many of whom loudly expressed their satisfaction at the arrest of the beliigerents, After a rest of about three quarters of an hour in the courtyard of the jail, the lino of march was taken up for Bergen Hill, which is thickly studded with the shanties of the tunnel iaborers. The ders of Mayor Collard were to arrestevery man who could be identified as having been seen placing obstruc- tiuns on the track. The homes of the tunnel men were soon reached; the military were stationed in frout of the house to be searched and the Mayor and his posse would and “snake out” the prisoners, In several of the shanties some of the men were found concealed under beds. John Glennan, Pat McGinnis and John McDermott were arrested together; they showed fight, but were soon overpowered, bound with ropes and marched between the military, Michael Mooreand Bernard Buxton were ar- rested in another sbauty. Moore had an axe in his hand when the posse eutered, and attempted to cu down several policemen; several revolvers were presented at him, and but for the exertions of the Mayor he would ‘have been glanghtered. John Daw, Patrick Heady, Larry Dolan, Patrick Brodepick aud several others who refused to give their naines Were aiso arrested, and again the military started tor the jail. Ou the road ‘several policemen recognized a man in a doorway, who is said to be a leader of the rioters. They started te arrest him, buthe discovered their purpose and started off at a spanking pace across some fields, A lively chase took place, during which half a dozen pistol shote were fired at the fugitive, but none, however, took effect. He was arrested alter a pursuit of over a mile, and when arrested a tussel took place, which ended in his getting very badly pummelled, While taking Lim tothe jail cousiderable excitement took place amoug tbe Grecian jadies resident on the hill, who cursed their lords for not having courage enough to’ attempt a rescue. ‘The feliow refused to give his name to our reporter. On the return of the military to the Court House, they were all discharged from duty except the Highwood Guard, Lieut. Hopper commanding, who remained alt night.’ They will be relieved to-day by the National Guard, Captain Van Houton. LETLER FROM THE CONTRACTOR. Bence Tose, Huson Crry, Sept. 18, 1859.

She left Havana on the 18th instant. The De Soto has encountered very heavy weather for the last two days; strong gales from the northward and eastward, with very heavy seas. Passed many vessels hove to, On the 18th inst. John Griffin, a passenger, died; dis- ease supposed to be consumption. As regards news the De Soto brings little of interest from Havana. Aroyal deeree had been published in the official paper of this island, which gives the inhabitants nearer ap- proach to popular representation than they have hitherto possessed. A northerly wind, with rain, had been blowing for the last twenty-four hours, rendering the atmosphere cool and pleasant. The public health was wonderfully im- proved, and in fact there was scarcely any sickness. Freights continued poor, with little appcarance of im- provement. The money market continued troubled, but it was thought will improve. Exchanges in favor of the United Statesand moderately active. London, 14 a 15 premium. New York, 3a6 premium. New Orleans, 64; a 6 pre- mium. Our Havana correspondent, writing on the 13th instant, says of the De Soto:—The Do Soto has arrived in very fair time from New Orleans, and she showed to great advan- tage as she passed up the bay, being universally admired by the crowds gathered upon the wharf to witness her entry. She leaves early this evening, with a good cargo and all the passengers to be had at this season. Writing on the same day, he adds:—In sugar there bas been nothing doing this weck. I have in vain tried to ob- tain some quotations. ‘The same remark applies to molasses. Late from Venezu FEELING TOWARDS GEN.

As time rolls on, the lovers of order and good govern- ment in Veneguela are rejoicing more and more at th: well advised action of Comers) Paes in leaving that unfor- tunate country in which such lamentable events have oc- curred and yet may occur, without any means of prevent- ing them. Former advices informed us of the threatening move- ments of Leigeaga, one of the rebel chicftains, and we now hear of the thorough defeat of his followers in a decisive battle, on which occasion he fled miserably from the field. Those of his bod be were ae, peat thes br ere been ig from camp to camp, committing depredations and robberics, and spreading alarm and terror on all sides. From the excesses of these men it was greatly feared that the districts through which they have passed will be cx ee tofamine and great misery in the coming year. ie defeat of Leizeaga has disconcerted a plan which had been formed by the rebels of forming a junction with the forces of this chief and to march in force to lay siege to Valencia. “So miraculous have been the occurrences in Caracas,” writes a correspondent,‘ that we must indeed believe that it is the will of Providence to save us from the assassina- tions to which so many unfortunate citizons have alivady fallen victims, The Governor of that province and Senor Casas have been our saviours. Commander Rubins, who, with his troope, arrived a few days befure, also rendered us valuable assistance.” Valencia had assembled all its military forces, so as to withdraw the whole of the veteran troops to oppose Ful- con, who was already suffering from the desertion of his soldiers ag well as from the fevers of the coasts, It was believed in this latter city that the government and the constitution would be saved, though the blessing must cost the shedding of some more blood. Zamora has suffered several very heavy reverses which must be exceedingly trying to his hopes and bis patience. ‘On one occasion he sent Petit, at the head of 300 men, to invade Trujillo, but the force was destroyed aud their leader killed.’ The same thing occurred in Merida, whither hesent an officer named Chirinos; but the whole of his followers and himself were made prisoners. In Ninchido 200 of his men were seized, and in Gueribandia another force which he had detached from Barina’s and sent in eearch of cattle, suffered the same fate. It was bere that Muguera, after the triumph, left for Guadare with only two soldiers. ‘The rebels in the East were progressing very badly for theircause. In_all their en, ments they have been driven back. The followers of Pinto were very recently completely routed. The je of Venezuela were rejoicing over the fact that ‘tbe. great obstacle to their social and political progress had been removed in the person of ex-President Castro. His tardiness of action and his personal ambi- tion had carried to a point that all good men had begun to despair, and bad almost lost all hopes of salva- tion for the republic. A correspondent writes:—« He will not return to power, because he has renounced the Pre. sidency, and use it would be worse than imbvcility to place him again at the head of # nation upon which he hag brought so many irreparable misfortunes.’’ Ov the 14th of August Leizeaga suffered an almost total defeat, The combat took place in the vicinity of San Pablo. It was thought that he was about to make an at- tempt to form a junction of 1,300 men with the solitiers of Faloon. At about five o'clock in the morning 600 of these left Valencia, and were mot by the government troops, After the first few discharges Leizoaga thought discretion the better part of valor, and fled, followed closely by his Bouts in turn were hotly Lagirnag hn & the government | C cavalry, which cut down about fifty of their number. The others took to the river Pao, which was very high, and great numbers of them were drowned. Senor Tovar, the Vice dent, arrived at Valencia on the 15th of dngast, On Way through Laguayra bis friends had to bide him, and it was with great difficulty that he escaped in safety, disguised asa sailor. Laguay- ra was inthe hands of Aguado, supported by 800 men, but six vessels of war had laid siege to the city, and there were 1,000 soldiers to operate inst it by land, ‘The fortune of war seemed to be turning rapidly against the rebels. On every collision they are beaten and driven back by the government troops, and flushed with victory and the fecling of revenge for their tallen comrades these latter are scouring the country in search of the enemy. It was confidently hoped, from the very favorable aspect of affairs that another’mouth will suffice to wipe out all traces of the biood-thirsty rebels from the land. Zamora had rallied twice afver his last defeat, and twice had he been again defeated. Both the newspapers and private advices coneur in the one idea and genera) hope that the complete pacification of the republic: may be expected at any moment. The government had upwards of 20,000 men under arms, and 8o great was the enthusiasm that the number could at any moment be doubled. News from Mexico. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR BY THE LEADING GENERALS. ‘The royal mail steamer Conway arrived at Mavana on the 9th instant, from Vera Cruz, bringing dates thence to the 4th instant, and from the city of Mexico to the 3ist of August, The Diaris dela Marina's account of the news brought by the Conway is oxtremely slender. It says :— Miramon was continuing his preparations for the cam- paign, which is to be commenced at the ead of the rainy geason, Letters from Mexico say that great success is hoped for; 80 do tens be Oruz papers, Geno: jargza at Tamaulipas, and Degolado at San Lais, were daily collecting materials of war, ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA, Sanpy Hoox, Sept. 10, 1859. ‘The Persia will be up about two o'clock, THE EQUINOCTIAL GALE. ‘The gale and storm which commenced on Friday, after raging with violence for over thirty-#ix hours, spent its force on Sunday morning, when it subsided in a great degree, with aclear sky and the atmosphere somewhat moderated, so that overcoats, which were #0 comfortabie he preceding day, were rather oppressive. The streets looked bright after a most thorough washing and the atmosphere was quite sweot. It waa reported that the packet ship Isaac Webb, with 400 passengers on board, had gone ashore at Squan Beach; but, af er diligent in- quiry among pilots and others, the report was not con- firmed. THE STORM IN BROOKLYN. - ‘The storm of Saturday caused cousiderxble damage to the shade trecs throughout the city, and levelled several telegraph poles, tore down a few chimneys and demol. ished some fences. Several fine trees on the Heights were uprocted. In Gowanus the storm was more severe in its effects, and in some of the avenues ail the large trees for blocks were swept down, and their trunks loft to encumber the carriage way. Yesterday morning, however, those trees which had biown across the streets were chopped in pieces and removed #0 a3 to enable the passage of vehicles. The telegraph was not in working order yesterday on account of the disarrangement of the wires, Some signs were blown down, aid awuings rip- ped, but no buildings were injured, and nothing ot a se. rious nature occurred in consequence of the storm. ‘THE STORM IN WILLIAMSBURG, The damage in the Eastern distriet by the storm was confined principally to the blowing down of a few trees and chimney tops. WHAT THE STORM DID ON LONG I8LAND—HOUSES UNROOFED-~-BARNS INJURED—TUEIR CONTENTS RUINED. ‘The storm of Saturday last was very severe upon the farmers on Long Island. They are complaining bitterly of Joeses sustained by wind and water. In a number of instances their fall crops, not yet gathered, have been washed out of the earth, and the corn prostrated. Que farmer near Jamaica lost a quantity of hay by the roof of his barn being blown off, and the contents becoming drenched; ancther who had a lot of salt hay stacked upon ‘a marsh is unable to find but a small portion of {t, the re- mainder having been floated off by the tide. His fences have also been washed away. A third compiaius of in- jury sustained by tho breaking down of soins valuable fruit trees; some fine grafts which he had much cherished, as rare and choice specimens received from abroad, are wholly destroyed; but branchless trunks remain. In one instance a barn, containing a valuabie pair of horses, was unroofed, and the animals injured by falling timbers. At Rep Hoox a small house was struck by a tlaw of wind and a window broken in, scattering bits of giass upon a bed that stood near, to the great consternation of the inmates. AtNew UrrecuT many trees wore uprooted, and a number of fences blown about in all directions. A wagon, left in a barnyard, from which the horse had just boen detached, was dashed against the wall by a gust and rendered useless. At Grexxrornt, near the premises of Francis’ Metallic ‘Life Boat Company, stands all that remains of a carpen- tor’s shop, two stories high. About fifty fect of the roof was destroyed, falling in upon a quantity of mannfactured articles and tools, burying them in a massof rain. The building is the property of Mr. Wvicott, of Astoria, and was ocoupied by Theodore Haff. The lower story was wed as a stable and carriage house, and contained three horscs. Mr. Haff narrowly escaped injury, if not death. He was etanding in the second story, and feeling u jar, sprang from the rear to the front pdtt of the room, just asthe roof fell. Three other workmen employed by him were fortunately absent at dinner. Mr. Haff esti- mates bis loss in stock and tools at about $100. Mr. Wolcott loses about $500. Mr. Haff had previously noti- fied the owner of the insecurity of the building and its DCCA UF wusinining propo, but wo stops had voeu lAKeN to mprove it. The building was about eighty fect long. The horees were saved, but two wagons were injared. On the Greenpoint and Flushing plank road a shod owned by Thomas Maguire was destroyed. Amount of damage unknown. At New Brooxtyy, near the Hunter Fly road, a stable was entirely demolished, There are accounts throughout the island of much damage to fences and barns, and few of the farmers hayo come off unscathed in some amount.

A letter from Beyrout of the 18th of August informs us that a sanguivary conflict took place in a village two. leagues from that town, between the Druses and Christians, in which more than forty of the combatants were killed, Several houses oecupied by Europeans were pillagod. The Governor of Bey rout sent 160 irregular cavalry to the spot, and order was restored, but too late, ag the disturb- ance had extended to other villages, and it is feared that a general way will take place between the Druses and Maronites, similar to that which caused go much destruc- tion in the year 1846, There are in the Lebanon severad 663,941 030" extensive silk mills of great value, the property of Euro- peans, which, if the disturbances extend, will probably be destroyed. ‘The Sphine Egyptien of the 80th of July reports the nar row escape of his highness the Viceroy, during a collision a few nights before on the railway between Dammanour and Kaf-el-Zayat.
