At the ond of each street was a large crowd of people, who" were deterred from advancing in consequence of the strict orders given the reptries to open fire on the first symptom of an ad- vance.

During the evening the Third regithent Now York cavalry,and the Thirteewth volunteer cavalry reported Sandford. The military force under Genoral Sandford was ‘Wins rendered large cnough to repel any attack, should it bo attempted. Word coming of a disturbance tn the Ninth avenue, the General despatched Captain Candy with © company of Hawkins’ Zouaves, and Lieutenant McKivath with a company of Twelfth regiment United States regulars, to disperse the crowd. The work was quick- ly done, by charging through the streots and > firing three volleys at the houses from which they “) bad been assailed by a shower of brickbats and a number of gun and pistol shots, No casualities eccurred among the military, avd Genera! Sandford, on hoaring of the suc- ‘cess of the expedition, complimented both officers on the manner in which they had performed the duty assigned them. Joseph Parber,a member of Company A, Haw- ‘sins’ Zousves, was dangerously wounded about seven yYolock, while doing duty as « seniry near Thirty-sixth streot. It is supposed that a boy fired a pistol at him. A number of prisoners” ‘wore brought in who had been captured in different parts of the city. They evidently belonged to tho lowest rank of jife, and presented a horrible appearance—eyes Dunged up andthe gurrounding flesh aa black as coal, ghastly cuts on the head, from which the blood bad streamed allover their clothes. They were confined in the guard house, and securely guarded until somo other disposition can be made of them, No attempt was made to take the Arsenal up to & late hour last night, when our reporter left, The lines Of sentries were doubled, and orders issued for them to be m the alort for any signs of an approach in force by the deople Insiue the Arsenal the officers and men mavaged oOsvatch a few winks Of sleep.

THY MILITARY FORCE MARCH UF. At about ten o'clock in the morning the mititary,com sisting of about four hundred in all, accompanied by a number of police, marched leisurely up Third avenue. | The military were composed of Company 11, of the Twelfth regiment, under command of Captain Franklin; about Afty of the Elevent! regiment New York Volunteers, under command of Colonel H, ¥. O'Brien, ‘They brought along with them two small field pieces. ‘THE POLICE FORCE. Thore were certainly about four hundred police on the march, led by Deputy Seperintendent Carpenter, and Ser. gean' Copeland. They were well armed, and carried thei: clubs in a firm grasp, ag if also determined to do their part of the work, THR FIGHT BETWEEN THE POLICE AND PEOPLE—~ SEVERAL CLUBBED TO DEATH, On arriving at the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue the entire force marched down the former street into the avenue, the military passing up some few minutes before, Thore was no oppor- sition whatever offered to the military as they filed past; but ag soon as the police made their ice the fight commenced in earnest. A shower came down upon their heads from all direc- od @ haud to band encounter immediately fullow- ‘he police rushed into the various houses on the route, and, Masping up stairs, used their clubs against any person, young and old, whorn they met. In those on- counters it'is impossible here to state how many were killed and wourded; but there must certainly havo been upwards ofjten or fifteen who were clubbed to death. ‘This assault did a great deal to excite the people to the Dighest pitch, and tuey now fought and acted like mea who did not care what they did, or what was the conse- quence of their acts, The police it well, but in some Cases they acted in a manner which did more to incite the people than any other occurrence of the Several ‘were actua ly clubbed to in their own , and the stairs, rooms and hallways covered with blood, while the furniture, glasses, &c., were broken to pieces. ‘The police evidently got the best of it in this eveounter, and succeeded to a xtent in putting down the dis turbance which was faust spreading from street to street. A LULL IN THE CONFLICT. After the police and the people had fought for some what over an hour, there was somewhat of a lull in the Gisturbanoe. ‘The fourful gcenes of excitement seemed frota thetr very intensity to bave brought themselves to that pass where it was necessary for a rest to take place, in order that they might be carried out with more terri- bie force in the future. The police, as they camo from the houges after tuflicting most summary punishment upon all who came in their way, retired from tho bouses and formed again im the streets. Here they took up the line of march, and were proceeding in another vielnity, when & sound attack took place, and now the real work commenced, THE MILITARY OPEN FIRB. Thero were two howitzers placed in position, support- ing which wore two companies of the Eleventh New York State Volunteers, under command of Colonel 0’ Brien, who was on horseback. The military were formed ou Second Aveutie, at thecorner of Thirty-fourth street, with the crowd on either side of them and a few in front, none ex- Pressing the elightest trepidation at the dangerous posi- tion in whicb they:wero placed. Bricks flew like bail stones ainong the soldiers. Col. O’Brien rode up aud down in the centre, and (hen gaye the command ‘Fire’ to thse who had charge of the howitzers. Some alloge that those pieces wore loaded with grape aud canister; but however this may be, there were several geen to fall st this time. The two companios of infantry of the Eleventh regiment, which were under the imme- diate command of Colonel O'Brien, aiso opened a fire of Mintle bullets and committed some havoc among the crowd, which was firmly massed rat this point, The balls whistled around in almost every imagivable di rection. Several fell upon the sidewalks and in the mid- dle of the street, and were carried into the various houses The crowd, numbering from one to two thousand, armod with cartrungs, clubs, sledge hammers, &c., rushed down Eleventh avenue and broke open a grocery store between Forty-firet and Forty-second strects. Fleventh ayenue, from Thirteenth to Sixteenth stree*, ‘was crowded with women and children, and the men ‘Were loud in their determination to resist the draft. An immense crowd was stationed at the corer of ‘Twenty-sixth stroet and Eleventh avenue. The Hudson River cars wore stopped at this point and threatened with destruction; but were finally reloasod, Not a solitary ‘iceman, from Ststeenth street down to the Eleventh sonuo, through West to Canal strcet, was to be seen; but bero were about Latf dozen soldiers, who seemed iu vo | durry to resist the crowd. ie A great many negrves, some dressed in seamen’s garb, were secn on the Hudson River track, making their way © albany. The trains on this railroad have stopped run- ning. \ Soap Chandier’s Establishment De- atroyed. The crowd, at au early hour this morning, entered a soap chandier’s catabtishment in Sixteenth street, bo ' *eon Ninth and ‘Tenth avenues, and complotely emptied of its contents.

COLONEL O'BRIEN AMONG THE CROWD. ‘The ection of Colonel O'Brian, as described by several who were within a hearing distance of bun during the whole time, is thus described from the commencement of heeonfiet. He ui 00 the soldiers to tire into and at- ‘kK the people in all manner of ways. How true this is caunut be accurately determined with any degree actual cortainty; but the fate which he met with, as will Bb appear, is probably one of the most horrible that either history tells of or present generation ever wit: Colonel O’Prien, as has already been stated, was on horseback and had the entire command of the military. It was by bis orders that they fired, and also by his in strumentality, whether he be right or wrong in the mat- ter, that the’ heart's blood of many an able youth was stopped in its flowings. A HORRIBLE OCCURREXCE—A WOMAN AKXD CBILD KILLED Probably the most heartrending occurrence which ope could imagine took place during this fight. Colonel O’Brien held a revolver in his hand, and was riding up and down between either live of the crowd. He, as it is ted, fired bis revolver intotheir midst, the bail kitting woman and child, which she beld in her arms. After yoral rounds had been fired the people began to dis- A police proceeded to another part the city. Qolonel O’Brien and his comman of however, remained. The Colonel dismounted horse and waiked Into a drug store. THE CiUWD ATTACK COL. O'BRIEN. Had the commander of this military force taken bis departure at this time there is little doubt that his life would have been saved. But fatalityhad destined him for ite victim and he was a doomed man. Col. O’Brien etayea in the drug store for some few minutes; it is thought that he went in tO get some refreshments ‘The crowd were around the dvor at this time. There was scarcely @ word spoken, but the lewering glances of one thousand men looked down in their voangeful spirit cron him as be stood in the door. He then drew his- sword and with @ revolver in the other band walked out on the sidewalk in the very centre of the crowd. He was immediately surrounded, aud one of the men came be hind and striki head, staggered rout him a heavy blow on the back of the im. The crowd then immediately sur- apd beat bim in a most shocking manver.

After a few minutes the body was taken down, he being still alive, afd thrown like so much rubbish io the street. THR BODY IM THR STRELT—APPALLING SCENES. The body lay in the middle of the street, within afew yards of the cornor of Thirty-fourth street. Natare abud- ders at the appalling scenes which bere took piace. The body was matilaved iu such » manner that it, was utterly impossible to recognize it head was nearly one mans of gore, while the clothes werealso satarated with the ‘erimeon fluid of life. A crowd of some throe hundred pe sons wounded the prostrate figure. These men looked upon the terrible sight with the greatest coviness, and some even smiled at the gay object. Our reporter walked leisurely among the crowd which surrounded the body, upon the extend: of form of Colonel the fearful process which the soluier bad gone through, he was yet breathiny with evident strength. The eyes ‘were closed, but there was &@ very apparent twitching of the eyelids, while the lips were now and again con: voned aa in the most intense agony. THE BODY DRAGGED AROUND THB STRENT. After iying for somewhat of an hour in this position several of the crowd wok hold of the boty by legs. and dragged it from side 10 side of the street. This epe- ration was goue with several times, whon the crowd again left the body lying in its original position. LIFE STILL BXISTING. Flad Colonel O'Brien been a man Of weak constitution he would certainly have coased to exist long before hid? time. He was, however, through lite man of great natural strength, and this fact probably kept him breath- jog longer than would any other cominen person. crowd remarked this, and watched his every slightest movement with the most intense anxiety. Now and then the head would be raised from the ground, while an application of a foot fiom one of the crowd would dash the already mangled mase again to the earth. This con- duct was carried on for some time, and when our reporter Jeft the body was still Jaying in the strect, the last spark of existence evidently having taken flight. Wourn snor. Probably the worst foxture of the affray {o this neigh borhood was the death of the two or three unfortunate who d to be on the i at the time. One 10's life was saved by the services of Dr. E. D. Connery, who extracted ® ball from ber peeen an’s valuable services were brought into ro quisition in other where a number of porties had 1 events, of course, inflame d the other women of that ward, and they turned out in large force to aid their relatives and friends when any oppor- tunity should happen.

SCENES IN THE NEGRO QUARTERS. Great Destruction of Property—One Hi dred and Fifty Negroes Killed ‘Wounded. The negroes of this city are certainly in a very uofor- funate condition—that is, these who are left bebixd. Since Monday night large numbers have departed for more congenial residences. Hundreds have gono to Brooklyn, and many more to New Joreey, while all traivs and steamboats leading to the interior have been almost overrun with the fying blacks. A perfect reign of tor: or exists in tho quarters of these helpless people, and if the troubles which now agitate our oity continne auring the week it is believed that not a single negro will remain withia the metropolitan limits. It ts sad to ee the fear with which the few negroes loft go upon the street in order to procure the bare neces- taries of life, Ono of our reporters, yosterday, while walking through Sullivan streci—a great nogro quarter— noticed this particularly. Now and then a woman would steal carefully through an alley, and gazing up and down the street before venturing in full view, would run at full speed to the neighboring grocery. Some of the store- kecpers said that they preferred to take artieles of food to the colored people, as it was positively dangerous to allow them to remain for eny length of time within their buildings. This fooling is general everywhore in New York, and the potioe are utterly powerless to protect tho blacks, as the events of Monday and yesterday fully de monstrated. Mea, women and children stealthily wend their way to the station houses every night to seok protection, being positively afraid to sleep in their own dwollings. Last night, in one station, twenty eight colored women and quite as many children sought pro- tection from the fury of the multitude, In many cases, they wore followed by crowds, and some of them severely beaten. ‘The Fourth ward has been the scene,p robably, of more destruction of negro residences than any other. There are, or wore, a number of colored men’s boarding houses in Roosevelt street, and these were nearly all destroyed early yesterday morning. Two of thom, corner of Roose velt and Batavia streets, were kept by a black gamed Beverly. The crowd, once determined upon their destruction, soon gathered in large numbers about the neighborhood. A few of them finally entered and beat a colored man who was found there. The rest, a dozen in all, bad expected the coming storm and fied. In a few moments everything of value in the house was destroyed, and the building was fired. It soon burned to the ground. A Germas kept a store next door, but as it was frequented by colored poople, it met the same fate, much to the anguish of its Teuton owner, The Crowd distributed the contents, as victors do the xpoils. In Rooaevelt street, noar by, was a negro barber shop, and the crowd, now swelled to several 4, scatter ed its contents about the street, and then applied the torch. It was not long before the shaving saloon had dis- apperred. It 18 unnecessary to say that the owners made no attempt to save their = ‘The ‘Liverpeol Lodging House," in Rooseveit street, A place well known to the police, who have but a poor inicn of ite character, was next attacked and burned.

He ran at the vp of his speed to the Sixth ward station house, and was taken care of for the rest of the night. Last night a negro war caught in Oliver street. An in furtated crowd began to beat him. He struck out in sell defence, and getting clear ran away. The throng follow- ‘ed him to the pier foot of Oliver street, and succeeded tn getting him upon it. He was driven to the end of the Piet and forced into the Fast river. It is supposed that he was drowned, as his injuries must have disabled Lim so that be could potewim.

Here it is proper to add that this is the only case of real violence reported in the “bloody Sixth.”” Negroes ha been chased and stove’, bat have managed to exoape without injury. No buildings have bee destroyed, but the bincks are now ail goue, and there is no cause for disturbance left. Capt.

At tho time appointe! the citizens pojan to assomblo, and at about half-past three o'clock Father Quarters was appointed chairman of the meting, and was called upon to speak, He begon by saying that an he was (o them as @ tathor he desired thit they be obediont as children, and that ho was Always ready to stand by his flock in anything which was calculated toexhibit their willingness to obey the laws of their adobted country and readiness to uphold ite con- Atitution, He also epokeat length of tho resolutions which been about to be offyred, and trusted that thoy, a6 law ablding citizens, would refrain from destroying any more private property, and hoped they would await the deot sion of the corporative powerg in relation to tho draft, During the apeech of Father Quartera the crowd constantly cheered him, Mr. Wm. Hitchman then read tho resolutions and followed them in a neat and appropriate spegeh, which was received by tho inecting with hearty cheers, Dr. Oswon was then called for, and said that he had every reason for reapecting the energy and ambition of the Irish Americans as they wore the chief means of our success and advancement in railroads, &e., and went on to any that ho hoped the people of Yorkville would show to their friends that they desired nothing more than an honestyooting with every man. The speech of Dr. Osbon was received by the assembly with expressions of satisfac'ion, He was 1 Lowed by afr. John Keynton, a prominent member of the city priest that he was anxious to see this mattor se! to the entire satiafnotion of the laboring classes, and said that the idea of tho poor man being compelled to shoulder the musket, while the rich man could buy bis freedom by paying his three hundred dollars, was wroog in every sense of the word, and that he hoped that’ the resolutions which had been offered would have the desired effect, and that ali men would be placed upon an equal footing, and concluded bis speech by speaking in rete. rence tothe different portions of the resolutions which had been already offered.
