Several members of the regiments were bruised by sticks and stonef. Two were overcome by the heavin Foarteentn street, and one at the corner of ‘Tenth street and | ourth avenue, but are now out of danger of any sertous resuit. No one was wounded. The coolness and pluck of the party of reporters who marched at the head of the Orangemen was a general subject of remark in the regiment, AFTER 1 BATTLE.” The Murder of Philip Ackermau—Arsaults by the Police—Painful Scenes and Incidents, When the soldiers and Orangemen had marched @way in tnumph, and most of the bodies of the slain had been removed, a HeraLp reporter still remained on the ground to feel the popular pulse aiter the battle—if that can be called a battie in which the blows came almost entirely from one side. Sad, sorrowful, sickening sights met the eye in every direction, The walls on both sides of Eighth ave- nue Irom Sevegty-fourth to Seventy-seventh street ‘Were covered with bullet holes and marked as with the smalipox. Window blinds were riddled, and be- hind more than one the vailiant conquerors’ ballets found a foolish mother, with her innocent child, and made corpses of both. The shutters ‘Of the closed-up stores, the coa!-bins on the corners, the sign-boards, the side-posts and upper door- posts of the houses were every one picked by Minié bails, and the water sponts and shoots were shat- tered. Crowds of angry men, pale-faced and de- mousirative women aud gaping boys and girls of all ages and sizes filled the streets and sidewalks and paddled in the POOLS OF COAGULATED HUMAN BLOOD that covered the flagways, Red streams ran along the gutters and down the neighboring basement steps und into the sewers, Occasicnally a wounded man Who had crept into some house near by, and was Iidden away there during the great excisement, now crept forth, with his wounds rudely bandaged aud the clotted blood still covering nis face and Clothing, and harried off to present a ghastly Spectacle to his family, and raise cries aud lamenta- ons in & home that nad so nearly been deso- lated altogether by the loss of a husband and father. Here and there along the avenue and off on tie cross stréets were congregated silent groups, looking with up-turned faces at the closely drawn bifnds in the windows of some house which the Jeaden messenger of death bad unexpectedly en- H vered and came “like a thief in the night” upon some Victim unawares. ‘1ne owners of stores aud dwellings } Who had suiferei no heavier losses came ous 0 examine their houses {rom the outside, calculated the damages, counted the bullet marks, and then Wondered “huw anyoody escaped.” An immense crowd swayed to and fro, separated and regathered, and talked and chattered wita various degrees of Vehemence around the house whicn forms the sontheast corner of Eighth avenue and Twenty-tifth street, ‘The basement of this house was occupied a8 a barber's shop, und tie steps leading down to it from the Elgnth avenue side were SMEARED AND SLIPPERY WITH HUMAN BLOOD AND BRAINS, ‘while the landing beneatii was covered two inches decp with clotted gore, pieces of brain and the haif | digested couients Of a AuwaAN stomach and intes- Unes. loauag m this horrid puddle was an oid low-crowned tell hat, such as laborers Wear, and on the steps and around the door the reporter found seven otier | hats of similar appearance, which put a tew mo- ments belore were olled with the hob ueads of pas- Bion—madmen, wiio Dow lay stark and lifeless and bloody in the veadhouse of the police station. ‘fhe first Noor of the house m question was occupied as @store, and its window sills, shutters and doors Were speckled with bullet marks and splashed with blood. The sidewalk in front of the door was thickly coated with a red mud, and the clammy way @ which it stuck to one’s boots wade livimg men’s hearts cold ana sick, At oa window on the second floor @ young womalt sat crying and Jooking out upon tie upturned faces of the crowd in vucant, inconsoiabid sors of way that was pitiable to see. On beholding this picture ‘of new-made wretchevness the reporter went ior the side door on Twenty-fi(th street, where ne was met by a bright-looking lad of twelve or thirteen. “Is there any person wounded In the house?” asked me reporter. «Wounded? I guess there is,’ said the boy; “there’s an oid man dead up stairs,’” “When did he dcr” “Die? He didn’t dic at all; he was shot a few @luutes ago.” “Who snot him?? «Them Ninth regiment fellows shot bim."? “Where 1s the dead man?” “Up, On the top floor,’ The reporier quickly ascended the cleanly oil- ¢lothed staircase, three steps at @ jump. and on the landing of the top or fourth Noor at the oo: of the Bre-escape or ladder leading up to the root, ie found atrecched out ihe body of a venerabie-looking, ema- ‘elated old man of about seventy-five years og age. <A biood-stuined leather pillow — way under his head; his shirt front and vest were opened; his jaw was tied up with a pivce of nen; in the mbsdile of his breast, about opposite the nght auricle of the heart, was a round, black hole, 1to Which @ man’s thumb wight be easily inserted, and drom which a BROAD LINE OF DISCOLORED BLOOD descended to mis feet, The reporter turned over the body and found a similar hole 12 the back, directly opposite the heart, showing that the bullet, which must Nave beeu dred by a member of the regiment that was armed with breech-loaders, had passed clear inrough the body. A hole was im the vest aud shirt im front, and in the coat, ‘vest, slirt and Undershirtin the back. Over tne vody stuod a man and woman, both middie-aged, and evi- dently natives of this country. They rent, they said, epartments on the top floor of that corner house, apd keep boarders. Toe murdered man, | Whose name Was Philip Ackerman, @ native of this | city, lived on the lower floor witu his daughter, tus wile and son being now away in the couniry, “Was Mr. Ackerman shot.ou the streets or through @ window 7” askeu the reporter. The question was heard by two young, good-look- ing and weil dressed girls who just then came out of an apartment on the same door. The talier of the two came forward and seid, “iil iel you all about it, sir. Mr. Ackerman and 1 went up on the roof together when the soldiers came up first, and remained there until the firing took place. Everyiling looked tome tobe quiet enough until some one threw a brick at a police. man, and just then | heard # shot fired as by some somebcdy trom tits block, but away further down ou the avenue, and I SAW A SOLDIER FALL, Then all the soldiers raised their muskets and fired. 1 believed 1t was only tring blank cariridges they were, and | thougiit it great tun, so | waved ny handkerchief down at te soldiers, Soon, however, saw the people running away in great consternation; feveral Of Luci fell as uf shot; then J gov afraid and came down iv tue rool.

He said he was a native of this cliy; Was beside the iriahman when the policeman made the assault, and what King said was partectly. true. Several tustances of this kind came under the re- "s observation, ‘The crowds remained around scene of action up to & late hour last night, w had no notion of dispersing when the reporter turned io the HERALD ofive, THE SCENE ON FIFTH AVENUE, The scene on Fifth avenae was quite animated during the passage of the procession, but quickly settled down to its accustomed quiet, staid appearance afterward. Trouble was appre- or Mose who formed the mass of the surging crowd that lined Twenty-third street, betwen Fifth ana Sixth avenues, and the streets in that vicinity Was sufficientiy threatening to excite the gravest apprehensions. The solid front and formidable bearing of the police and military, and the splenaid tact of their officers, Were, doubtiess, all that prevented a most serious outbreak. As they came up toward Fifth avenue along Twenty-third street the police on the sidewalks and their reserves in the Seventh regiment completely filled up the street, the finks extending clear to the buildings on either side, and as they came on with the regular soldierlike tramp of veterans, crowding the surging Inass before them, allowing not even one to escape them, all thoughts of mischief were swallowed up Mm the one natural impulse of self-preservation, An immense mass, in which women and children Seemed to predominate, blocked the way in every direction from THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL; bnt all were swept away from the front of the pro- cession as it moved reststlessly along down the ave- nue to Fourteenth street, down which it defiled to Fourth avenue. The crowd of persons at the Fifth Avenue Hotel was dense, but was composed of the better class of our citizens, Who discussed the mat- ter in every aspect, the majority criticising Order No, 67 as infamous, and praiaing Governor foitman forthe manly course he nad taken in issuing his famous prociamation of support for all men im the exercise of consututional privileges, A legal friend, when appealed to for his opinion, resorted to Mr. Lincojn’s plan for solving a problem, and related A STORY. During the draft riots of 1863 Collector Barney found hitnseif in the midst of one of the mobs, who were pleasantly engaged in a discussion as to which one of the public buildings they should next ope- rate upon. The Coliector chanced to meet at the momene @ young lieutenant from Governor's Isiand, anda discussion arose as to measures to be taken for the general safety. Barney, “good, easy man,’! expressed his desire to address ine mob, believing he could exert suMeient influence to cause them to disband, or at least to forego their purpose. “You may address them if you like,’ said the Lieutenant, “but I snail first speak to them, sir,” “Certuinly,” sald the Collector; but what will you say to them? What ey action will you use??? “Grape and canister, by God! sald the Licuten- ant, with a determined Hash of his eyes, “And that,” said our legal friend—an ex-army oMicer, by te way—“is the Way to treat this mob and every other. A section of howitzers, two squad- Tous of cavalry and an iniautry support can ove’ come any mob ever organized.” When questioned as to thejlegality of Order No. | 57 he repiied:—“Phere 1s an old maximin Blagkstone that covers the ground exactly. As near as 1 can quote from memory it reads, ‘Sie ulere iuo non (@das vicinum,’ which, literally translated, 13, ‘30 use your Own as that you shall not imjure your neighbor.’ Now, 1f the Mayor and Superintendent Kelso had reason to apprebend that the marching of these Orangemen tirough che streets would cause a disturoance they had a right to pronibit it, although iy opinion is that it was nothing but the most infamous cowardice upon his part that caused them to issue the order.” Quite a breeze of excitement was caused py the announcement that Prince Erie-—who ts well known in that locanty—had been wounded in the leg, 80 the report ran, while riding ip a carriage with Mr aud whue it was claimed as quite a card for the Colonel-Admiral, @ great many derived a melan- choly satisfaction from the remark of a Wall sirect broker that “the worst of it was ne was not in com- mand, having Lurned 1t over Lo Braine for the pur- pose of escaplug trouble and was in citizen’s siderable anxiety was manifested by this group as to the effect upon the gold and stock markeis. ‘A CRAGY AMAZON at the southwest coruer of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue was tn { violent state of excitement.

Having vented her spleen she danced out of doors to gather fresh stock, nursing her wrath unl she arrived at the corner, when she barst forth into the most violent invective, drawing ujgon her knowledge of history slightly. “Show me an Orangeman and I'll show ye a thaie. Phat was King Henry Vill.? An Orange- mau, the cross-born bastard !? and the virago tucked her sleeves up to the armpits, gave her hair @ spiteiul sweep and began walking back and forth. “ab,” she broke forth again, “who was Hoffinan? the thafe! Sure, ’twas Irishmen made him what he is, and now he gives his ordner to let the bloody Orangemen walk! But, ah-h,” witt a raising of the clenched fist aloft, -iet him luke out?” A dead horse psssing by upon a truck at the mo- ment gave her a new opportunity, and, pomung to it, she surieked out, “Thera goes an Orangeman for yees! That they were all thatsame way |’? A number of Ribbonmen were here assembled, Who seewed © be cahally wild with anger, and vows were made and repeated that the night aud succeed- ing day would not be allowed to pass without dreadiul vengeance veing taken, A broker at the Fitth Avenue Hotel, who had been present at the rioting in Eighth avenue, gave a HsRaLD representative & harrauve of an incident that he vouched for, He observed a man climbing up Gn an awning near ‘Tweuty-sixth street, and ob- served his proceedings. The fellow coolly ascenaed to lus perch, and, the procession him at the moment, as covlly tool anu sent its contents, bang, bang, thickest of the ranks, A lew seconds alter he fell to the grouna, riddied with bullets, ‘she only demonstration of approval noticed on this part of the route Was when the Ninth regiment and police detachments from Cooper Institute reached the corner of Firth avenue and Twenty-third street, where they were enthusiastically cheered by & party of gentlemen. Everywhere the most hearty commendation was bestowed upon the HERALD for its utterances and course from the first inception of this trouble, and the power of the imdependent press in mouiding a correct popular senument and fostering a pure poli- Sees social Ireedom was generally acknowl- edged. ‘farce Irishmen, while the procession was pass- ing down Fourteenth street, were engaged in_gar- nishing up the grass plats in front of one of the Douses near Delmonico’s. As the procession passed they began jecring atit. Beiore they were aware of any danger menacing them they were pounced upon by a hulf dozea policemen, who used their locusts rather lively for a few moments, aud then conveyed the mea to the station house. THE SCENE ON FOURTH AVENUE. At three o’clock Fourth avenue, from Fourteenth street to Cooper Institute, had the appearance of Sunday, 80 quiet and deserted were the streets, and With all places of business closed. Half an hour later small squads of men began to make their appearance, and, Jater still, these squads became more numerous and of larger pro- portions, ali tending toward Cooper Inst- tute, which, in accordance with the line of march published, was designated as the place at which the parade was to be dismissed. The conver- sation among the men as the crowd became larger was of a somewhat amusing character, some declar- ing that the Orangemen, who, by their oaths of membership, could not become citizens of this coun- (ry without perjury, should not be permitted to parade and play their imsulting music in the faces of good ciuzens who had tought and bled for | the country, waile others contended that, as a free country, they had as good a right to march In procession as those who yearly celebrate St. vatrick’s Day, Up to this time the crowd seemed peaceably disposed and willing to allow the proces- sioniststhe honor of their venture, @ few oniy seeming bent on putting a stop to their Jurther pro- gress. Atabout four o'clock the street became more densely packed, and consequently the excitement increased, nd loud threats were made that THE DARING ORANGEMEN would be annihilated as soon as they dispersed and were out of the protection of the military and poilce. Some went even so far as to threaten to take them from their guardians and immolate them on the spot, so that Orangeism in this city should exist only as a thing of the past. After waiting @ short time the head of the pros cession turned the corner of Fourteenth street | The most singular feature in the crowd was the | number of women and children who pressed forward six files into Fourth avenue, and marched down Fourth avenue, guarded by the military, on each side, with two flies of police ‘as fankers, and slowly proceeaed down the avenue ina quiet and orderly manner, and with few demonsirations on the part of the crowd until they reached Cooper Institute, where they dispersed—vanished into thin air, or some other Conventeut eleinent—and so the parade of tne famous “200,” for tne time being, was Tue scene around Cooper Institute after the par- ade was over Was @ wurlike and pctaresque ap- pearance. ‘The militia had halted, and the order “rest” being given, they sought escape. from tue burning sun, and sat avout tn groups on the shady side Ol the street, some improvising faus ol Weir caps, and all discussing the events of the day. by ~~ among the militia were the Seventh, Ninth, Sixth, Twenty-second and Eighty-fourth regiments.

At about six o'clock THE MILITIA BEGAN TO MOVE from the ground—the Seventh regiment taking the Intilative—followed in a time by the Ninth, the Twenty-second (equip; in full fatigue, with knapsacks and overcoais rolled), the Sixth and Kighty-fourth, and followed by the police, who looked worn out by their long day’s duty and seemed pleased at the prospect of getting some- thing to cat, as well as a few minutes rest. A Visit was then made to the Seventh regiment armory, to which the ‘open sesame” of the HERALD gained admission, and everything was found in the most admirable order and the men ready for any emergency. Portions of the regiment were then out on duty in some of the east side and upper por- tions of the city, and their comrades were anxious jek a return or that they might be permitied to join them, At seven o'clock everything was quiet tn the vi- cinity of Cooper Institute, with a Tair prospect that no further disturbances would be attempted, AT UMON SQUARE. A curious crowd looked out upon the glistening bayonets and waving banners as the procession moved m from Fourteenth street, curious in the sense that they beheld with wonderment a few crazed people in foreign colors being guarded from the attacks of other foreigners by the troops of the free State of New York. Bright and buoyant moved the columns of infantry on either side of the guilty- looking men, wearing the emblems of British monarchy, and the sun, whose rays were yet un- chilled by the evening breeze, lent a halo wo the whole. Weil and fair the militiamen marched with arms at the right shoulder shift, and wheeled round THK STATUE OF WASITINGTON. It was a splendid show, far more suggestive than that of any peaceful holiday ever celebrated tn the State. Every man who marched in procession, ex- cept, indeed, the poor deluded men who walked in the middie, knew that he was, in his own person, the exponent of law and order. Determined, stern and erect they marched forward; their fixed bayo- nets glinting in the sunlight that fooded the square, There might have been better order observed, the marching even of the famous Seventh being exceed- ingly poor; but the force looked as if it had or would like to nave hard and Immediate fighting. There is a swing and carriage characteristic of MEN UNDER ARMS and in the presence of danger~always supposing that they have been well trained—wuich 1s pleasant to look at. It excites while it assures. This char- acterized most of the regiments of tae Guard as they passed, The troops must bave felt restive under dts- cipiine, though no insubordination was shown, One of the ugliest crowds of ruflans that ever aflicted a street corner stood in frontof the Union Square Hotel. That they had inclination, though doubting their power, to do mischief was evident. Red-eyed rascals from the low dens of the city, the same villains who on election days drive decent people from the polis and are afterwards rewarded With high oficial positions, shouldered and shoved at the corner, while confederates of the same stripe and equally dangerous jounged and jeered about the sidewalk. Clad in red shirts and the narrowest of trouxers, with a small felt hat surmounting the whole, these rufians, swaggering @ la alderman, talked impertinen'ly and looked exceedingly tmpu- dent. These PUPYIES OF GREATER BRUTES bayed at the passing procession, which, however foolish, vindicated the fair name of the State. One of them, just as the Seventh regiment passed, with the Orange Innatics between its diles, mpped outa fearful oath and drew a revolver. No doubt he was paid for doing it. Your city scounarel never dares a demonstration, under such circum. stances, unless he is heavily bribed. This fellow was vociferous; he knew he showd be wild and threateuing in his manner, but at what he knew not. A remark of some bystander, Se cited the ire of the villain or atrordec to simulate wrath. But whatever his motive ne succeeded in creating a sensation. A brightly pol- isned pistol gleamed over the crowd; a sharp report followed; then there was a rush, some shrieking of women (who are sure to be where they oughi.not to be), a lively rattle of clubs on thick skulls, and the incident was lost in the greater event. WHO WAS SHOT AND WHO WAS WOUNDED the crowd did not pause to learn. tioned by the police that the military might be pr voked to fire on the crowd they. pressed on the hee! of the soldiers, careless of possible consequences. “19 not this a melancholy spectacle?’ said a gen- tleman, in an undertone, as he stood opposiic the statue of Washington, His companion agreed with im, “And let me,” said he, ‘point out to you how it affects us. The Orangemen have a perfect right to Wear their absurd scarfs as the ’Longshoremen have to aitlict the vision of helpless New Yorkers witi thels ancient and abominable headdress, but the porn gsiear sneer atthe old plug hats—and if they could would shoot at them—and the Longshoremen hate the Orangemen. This is a most disheartening condition of affairs, and one to be «epiored by every Irish-American. The worst feacure of the whole affair is that Americans consider these ignorant and infatutuaied men of the plug hats— they are on this occasion Hibernians (damn such Hibernians)—representatives of their race, Hang it, sir, these fellows DO NOV REPRESENT THE IRISH NATIONALISTS in this country. It 1s not their fault, doubtless, that they are ‘clodhoppers,’ ‘micks,’ par excellence; but that they are you wu not deny. Shall Ireland be represented lunger by these confederated ruf- fans who regard uo law ind observe no rule? No, sir; they will have to succumb to the spirit of tolera- tion and the power of talent and cducation,”” “That's so,”? remarked his friend; “but how are you to control them? They will repeat the outrage Of to-day on the very next opportunity.”’ At this moment Captain Thomas Costello, than Whom there is bot In tue metropolis a citizen Who has fought harder and better for the Union aua suf- fered more in the cause of Irish liberty, joined the Speakers. “Without agreeing or disagreeing with either of you,” he said, *] must say that something must be done to vindicate our character beiore the people. Whatever I am I before everything an Amert- can, by adoption it is true, but still an American, I now and always will uphold the laws of the State and the United states, and will frown down and if necessary shoot down all who oppose their execution, Abolish St. Patrick’s Day, ‘Twelltu of ay and every other anniversary nonsense, and let us for the future celebrate the 22d of February only. “That's right, by —,’’ said his friends, ‘And, more than that,” said wise Tom Costello, “we must show the American people that the Lrish Nationalists uphoid tie right of the Orangemen, lemonmen or peachmen, appiemen, aye and apple- women, to parade as much they please, 1 say, and at least three thousand Fenians, who, to a m; denounce the ignorant omatharons who threaten the processionistg of to-day, say with me,that on the next parade of the Oraagemen we wili turn ont to protect them; not that we like their principles a bit, but that we recognize and respect their mgut as American citizens to do as we do,” | “Weil, whai’s the use in talking?’ sald some one. i ot much,’ answered Costello, “except action follows talk. Now I nave been approached by many, | and Uils is proposed:—lTo hold a mass meetmg of Irish Nationalists at_ Cooper Insutnte, and protest pathy with the outrages of the day by tie citizens favorabie to Irish independence. This wili have a salutary effect.” “Heavens ! you are right, sir,’’ exclaimed a geu- Ueman who was hitherto @ silent listencr wo the conversation. “Heavens! trust me, we'll set the public rigit i a few days; @nd the Cooper Institute 1s the place to hold it? by this time the tail of the procession wound like Country, and disappeared in the throug assembied in the Third avenue, AT THE COOPER INSTITUTE, The scene at the dishanding of the procession was one to be remembered. Looking from one of the windows of this notable building the eye fell npoa | an apparently endless line of bayonets, stretching far down the Bowery, and the flerce rays ot the mid- summer sun glistened and were refracted back frou, the polished steel. Mingled with the nea vovorms of the National Guard was the dark blue of we police, and the entire force which Mulberry street coutrols seemed to be massed in Asior place, Fourth avenue, and in triple file belined the ranks of the soldiery. Around them on every side surged the crowd, some with execrations not loud but deep; others were wondering spectators. to gratify an idle but dangerous curiosity, unheed- ing the fact that @ single shot from some ruiiian be- side them might draw upon them a withering fire from the soldiers. Mounted ofMcers pranced about in the wide space at the “forks” of the Bowery and shouted hoarse orders to their nen, Now aud then as the crowd surged forward some uniucky in- dividual would be hustled against a policeman only to be fluug back ito the seetiuing mass, with rhaps atap of @ locust as an accelerating medium. | rom every window, and even on the roof of the Cooper Union, curious speciators gazed at the unwonted spectacle, and when the ominous word “Halt: passed aiong the line some of the more timid ones shrank back into their rooms, ‘The Orangemen bore up bravely, althougo many faces grew pale when tney reached the ena of their perilous journey, ond looked through — the serrie¢ Jine of bayonets on the scowihig faces beyond, But for their disbandment if if were not or the tragic occurrences Of the day, we wonld be tempted to langh a¢ the manner in which tat ) pbout which gyery obs has Deard | )RIPLE SHEE), ie 5 sneh terrible things, melted away. The Grand Master slid of his horse, bia his orange scarf, and in @ moment was gone, LIKE THE BASELBSS PABRIO OF A VISION. In the twinkling of an eye there was not an orange scarf to be seen, and the spot where the devoted adherents of King William stood was oc- cupied alone by the soidiers and police, How they disappeared so suddenly no one seemed know. Hundreds were evidently on the look out for them with no friendly intentions when they should leave the protection of the Na- tional Guard; but it seemed as if the ground had pened and swallowed them Bp. ‘whey mingled th the crowd in every direction, their orange scarfs carefully buttoned up beneath their coats, and were probably at their respective homes belore the mob knew they had actually disbanded.

He must have suffered much m mind during these few min- Utes, as the conversation of those around him con- sisted of the most frightful threais against “King Billy.” Of course they never dreamed of the pre- sence of an Orangeman among them, or bis life Would not have been worth a moment's purchase. Altogether it was a remarkable disbanding of a pro- cession upon which the “eyes of New York’? and per- haps visitors from Delaware were fixed. To use the words of Longfellow, with a slight alteration— ‘They folded thelr scarfs like the Arabs And silently stole away. WHAT A LADY SAW AT THE BREAKUP OF THE ORANGE PROCESSION. At half-past three yesterday afternoon an expect- ant crowd of men aud boys rushed from every quar+ ter into Astor place and around Cooper Institute, It was in this vicinity that the triumphant Orangemen were to disperse and depart for their respective homes, and 1t was here that serious trouble was anticipated from the enraged Hibernians, who had been completely foiied in their various attempts to disturb the procession. Part of the assembled multitude seemed to be peace- able, order-loving citizens, but there was a tur- bulent element in the midst that manitested itself in loud words and threatening gestures, Every now and then 8 word would be dropped in favor of the Orangemen, which had the same effect upon the rough crowd who heard it that a lively poke into a ants’ nest would create. In a moment there was HUBBUB AND CONFUSION, black looks and clenched fists, and had not the im- mediate arrival of the militia and poiice occurred, there would have been a melée among the bystand- ers, In breathless silence the people in the square and in the adjacent build. ings, watched the march of the Seventh, Twenty-second and Ninta regiments, as with undaunted front they filed down Fourth avenue into the Bowery and halted in column. A large body of policemen accompanied them and pre- sented a fine appearance as they stood in solid phalanx across the square. The small boay of Orangemen who took part in the celebration, marched quietly along, secure under the PEgiertton extended tiem, snd proudly consclous that their appearance carried with it a deeper signitication than was ever before attached to any of their pre- vious celebrations. With marvellous quickness the police dispersed tne excited groups of men whose appearance und threatening attitude betokened their hestility to the Orangemen, “Ah,” said an old gentieman, rubbing his hands gleefully, “this 1s @ glorious triumph of law and order over mob rule. Now we ar rrying out the glorious democratic principles for which we fought Minety-live years ago. If we can sustain them like this another five years | shall bave no fear of their standing firm hereafter.” On the Bowery, just below Cooper Institute, the Orangemen separated quietly, leaving THE MILITIA AND POLICE still drawn up, awaiting any orders that might be sent in the event of any further serious disturbance on the part of the rioters, who, it was said, were gathering in a formidable body in the upper and east side of the city. ‘The heat wrs something fearful and the demand for ice water proportionately great. A member ot the Ninth regiment succumbed to the heat, and was | carried, almost insensibie, lato the drug store under the Bible House. A long line of cars, down the Bowery and apove Tyghth street on Fourth avenue, waited nearly halt a}i hour belore permission’was given them to pro- ceed. Those going be town were uliowed to move on first; then, after closely SCKUTINIZING THE PASSENGERS who were on their way down town and ejecting sus- Picious ones, tle police permitted the other cars to go on also, Several rough looking men attempted vo Jump on the cars as they rolied down the Bowery, but the police were quick to prevent them doing 80. No blood was shed in Astor place If we except a severe act of authonty on the part oi a heutenant in one of the regiments, who, aiter vainly attempt- ing by persuasion to prevent a man from crossing the street, brought him to a realizing sense of the autnority ‘that doth hedge an omeer” by giviog hm a smart blow with his sabre with such force that the blood flowed for a time quite freeiy. ‘inis brought the obstinate one to a realizing Sense of the powers that be, and for the rest of the time he accepted the situation without further ado. This was only @ little “onpleasant- ness,” nowever, and helped vary the dreary mono- tony of waiting for something to “turn up.” Kvidently tie formidable appearance of the troops had the desired effect upon the rioters of awing them in'o submission, . By six o'clock the regiments took up their line of march and moved away from tue vicinity, which, but for their presence, would undoubtedly nave been the scene of a bloody conflict. A VISIT TO THE SEVENTH REGIMENT ARMORY. Immediately after the procession disbanded at the Cooper Institute and tne gallant Seventh re- turned to their quarters adjoming, a HERALD reporter presented himseif at the door of the Armory, and, after a moment's explanation to the oficer of the guard, passed the glittering bayonets of the sentries. The “boys” were scattered through the spacious pullding, and, with the exception of a few more, who were in the hands of the surgeon, all were loudly aud excitedly discussing the scenes they had passed through. They were particularty | bitter m their iemarks on the conduct of the opera voufe regiment, as they called the Ninth, One officer, in describing the firing upon the procession trom the house at the corner of Eighth avenue and Twenty-fourti street, said that some of the tiies of the Ninth, wuo | were on the same side of the street with the house, rushed over on the opposite side in a perfect panic and commenced firing im the wildest manner possi- bie. He was certain that they killed or wounded SOME OF THEIR OWN COMRADES. Never was there before in the Naional Guard ex. tubited sno a complete absence of discipline or steadiness in the presence of danger. ‘The “boya" felt proud at the conduct of their own regiment, and were assured that no company or member displayed any want of cooiness or disci- pline. They marcaed the entire route as if they were on @ holiday parade. Many of the members, alter the procession was over, wished to pay a visit to their homes; but the orders were peremptory for them to remain under arms at the Armory ‘until furiuer instructions. RAID ON THE HIBERNIANS, About half-past twelve P. M. Superintendent Kelso was informed that parties of Hivernians were being and had been organized to proceed to points which the Orangemen would pass during their parade and from there to attack tnem. It was de- clared that one of these bodies *had already started on the mission of rivt, The Superintendent immediately called a council at ail the police cap- tains, General Wiiliant M. Tweed, John B, Fellows, Assistant District Attorney, and Mayor Hall were present. Thereat it was decided to nullify their intentions by raiding upon and dispersing or arrest- ing the motously disposed Hiberniaus, Captain Copeland was appointed to command the police | jorce, which, supported by the Eighty-fourth reyi- | ment, was to execute this design, This jorce mareied down Mulberry street to Prince, along which they moved until they arrived at Hivernia Hall, As they neared this place a number of excited men congregated in its tront, | Jeered at and taunted them with derisive | cries. Unmoved by the insults the police Went steadily on until they had got almost abreast of the crowd. Then Captain Copeland called upou the crowd to disperse, He was answered ony by a chorus of yelis and 4 floarish of weapous. ‘The Cap- tain immediately ordered his men to charge the | obstinate fellows. A finer clarge than was the result of that order could not be. ‘the Police dashed forward in solid front, whose stock the would-be rioters could not withstand, Some ine dividual members of the mob made a desperate Fesistance, bus were soon overpowered, while its majority immediately ran, only two be made prisoners by ihe detectives when they had reached the corner of Mott street, These omcers hud started from Headquariers immediately after Cap- tain Copeland's force and the military. This was in ursualice of the strategic plan of Superintendent 190 tO dank the mon and capture every member of it. That the resuit was not completely successtul was rather the fault of the detectives, some of Whom were | untimely in reaching the corner of Mott street than Of the unworthiness of the plan. However, the manner in which all tue detectives bebaved durin their struggle with the rioiers in a great measure atoned for the tardiness of some ef them. Rioters to the number of forty were, alter ® short resistance, captured by them and taken to the U¢adeuarte: | topic did not prevent anu where, having been searched, each of them was found to have concealed upon him a@ revolver, & knife or @ club, In some instances several Weapons. The prisoners were undaunted by their arrest aud the possible consequences of it, and were seemingly careless of the wounds they had recelved during their resistance to capture, All expressed a belief that there were enough “true Irishmen” tn the city to teach the Orangemen that they could not transfer those observances which have been causes of fraternal blooashed in Ireland to this country unmolested. One of the captured rioters, with @ singular idea of the fate in store for him, demanded of the spectators as he was being borne to his cell, “Will yez see me murderea, men, for not wantin’ to hear ‘Willie Over the Water.’ AT THE CITY BALL The Mayor had evidently left strict working orders, No confusion was manifested during the day, As early a8 s1X o'clock his private secretary was at his private office, waiting orders. There were few callers upon any business, althongh one commu. nist, of doubtful nativity, witha club, staiked into the Hall at nine o'clock and demanded money for a drink, He was surprised at being told that no fight Was raging. The Mayor did not appear at the City Hail, At three o'clock yesterday morning he rode from Police Headquarters and himself roused his sergeant-at-arms, “Tim Golden, and then returned to his station beside Kelso’s desk. He did not leave his position during the day. It was noticed that Kelso consulted him = every moment, The Mayor appeared cool, and said that no riot could occur, What he feared was not the Orangemen or the Catholics, but rather the tne lower class, which, belonging to no sect or side, awaited only an opportunity ror plunder, “We can very easily mauage @ mob,’? he said; “but no one knows where the no-sided ones will appear.” Yet he seemed to anticipate nothing, although he was sauistied with the arrangements. At two o’clock he sent for his private secretary, who 18 a stenographer, and settled all the pressing business of the Mayor’s office. The excitement did not prevent the complete working of the Ordinance Department, and part of the ordinance squad received its orders during the a Only one policeman guarded the entrance to the City Hall, The workmen in the City Hall Park were not on duty, although strictest orders nad been given for their detention at work. There Was considerabie discussion of parade between the clerks, although most oi them were at work, and did not believe a riot would occur. Said one of them, “Five years hence the political world will say that Mayor Hall is Wiser than his fellow citizens, It were better that the walking rights o! four thou- sand men should even be ontraged, if you call It so, than that the wives and property of fifty thousand snould be endangered. The city authorities have only to look after the protection of the city; that is their ultimate duty.” Such seemed to be the cur- Tent of opinion atthe City Hail, The bootblacks deserted the City Hall at an early hour, and they were followed by the Aldermen, The only politictan Of any note in the vicinity was retires Gowey, who was reading tne HERALD bul- letin. AT THE NEWSPAPER OFFICES, Crowds of News seckers—Beaatiful Bulletins. Never before was the power and infuence of the press shown to @ greater extent than on this memorable occasion, From an early hour, in the sweltering heat, crowds of excited people—men, woinen and childres—were assembled around every bewspaper office from Printing House square down to the corner of Broadway and Ann street. As the day advanced the heat became still more intolerable and the crowds denser aud more excited, THE BULLETIN BOARDS of the various evening papers and some of the big morning dailies that indulged for the first ume in flaming extras presented many curious features to the observing passer-by. First one encountered an eflice near where the Fourth avenue cars turn off into Centre stieet, opposite the C.ty Hail, outside of which estabiishment huntreds of street Arabs were making the welkin ring with shouts of “‘anotner ex- tra.” On the bulletin board was ihe cheeriug an- nouncement, “ORANGE PARADE!—KERRIGAN DEPOSED!--ALL LIQUOR STORES IN JERSEY CLOSED |—ATTACK ON A LODGE !— BLOOD {1 1”? A lew doors below a horrified crowd read:— “PIETY-TWO PERSONS KILLED IN TWENTY-FOURTH STREET AND A WOMAN AND CHILD SLAUGH- TERED \"? ‘Taking a particular interest in the fate of the wo- man and child, for the HERALD reporter naturally thought that the figures placed betore the word “persons”? might have had their origin in the heated Imagination of the editor he looked at the next bulletin board for the woman and child, Here ie was informed that the woman was only wounded and the child, now muitiplied fourtoid, was killed, A short distance farther people were positively assured of the death of three women and the miraculous escape Ol tie Cid. 14 auuition there Was tue miei~ ligence:— “SEVERAL OF FISK'S REGIMENT KILLED!—OTHER WITNESSES REPORT THAT THE MOB FIRED UPON THE SOLDIERS FROM HOUSETOPS AND #KOM BE- HIND LAMPPOSTS BEFORE THE MILITARY DiS- CHARGED A GUN !—TWO OF FISK'S REGIMENT KILLED !—COLONEL FISK WOUNDED !” Next door to this veracious office the passer-by was astonished to find that “THE TWENTY-SECUND » ON THE MOB AND VHEN MAN !"?

Indeed, when the time came for clusing the Stock Exel there was hardly anybody to take his departure, and (he customary lingering market on the sidewalk was whoiy foregone, so eager Was the appetite to learn detaus of the dire events transpiring in the upper wards.

At seven o'clock @ rough-looking gang, about two hundred in number, called by some “Sullivan’s Gang’’ and by others said to be led by one of the Plunketts, of the Twenty-second ward, made @ foray upon the workmen employed on the Seventh avenue exten- sion. “Stop work, men,” called out the leader of the gang. “But these men——” interposed their foreman, “No buts apout it,’’ exclaimed the leader, impae tlently, “these men have got to quit work, and that’s all there’s about it.”” There was no further parleying. The workmen, with very little show of opposition, threw down their laboring tools ana joined the gang. A similar foray with similar results was made Upon the workmen employed on the new District Court House, Workmen engaged on Senator Ge- net's new house, corner of 128th street and Sixth avenue, next in turn had to succumb to the same gang. In fact, the gang made a pretty extended sweep of all workmen on new buildings, Some men employed in repairing the Third Avenue Ratlroad had to suspend work, a3 also those engaged on the sewer in Fourth avenne, between 122d and 125th streets, and men in tie employ of the Harlem Gas Company laying gas mains in the Boulevard. They did not compel all the men, however, to go with them. The gang, with tis compulsory and volun- tary recruits, soon left to join in the operations down town, aud alter this all was quiet; in fact, the major part of the day was more like Sunday than a week day, and, What is more, 80 pre-eminently quiet that in the order in reference to closing ruui siops the Harlem district was exclusively excepted. At the station house, in 126th street, @ tunereal stiliness prevailed during the forenoon, Captain Garland, two: roundsmen, two acraennia and twenty-six patrolmen being on daty down town. In the afternoon, as intelligence began to come up of the down town « isiurbances, there was cousidera- ble excitement and anxiety to iearn the news, The police sergeant in charge at the station house was besieged with questions as to the latest news by telegraph; car conductors were mercilessly in- terrogated, and as for the popular and affable Purser Price, of the steamer Sylvan Stream, he was completely overwhclined with eager inquiries. When the latest authoritative accounts finally came in, bad as they were, there was general rejolcing to know that matters were no worse. Of course till ana. 0.

EXCURSION TO HAMILTON PARK, CONFLICT WITH THE MOB. Exchanging Shots With the Police. SEVERAL MEN WOUNDED. The approach of the Orange procession to Hamil. ton Park, Jersey City, was heraided by the enlivening strains of a Dutch band and the rush of a crowd of little ragged boys who seemed to enjoy the excite- ment as a huge joke. Immediately after the boys came a strong body of polive who looked really for- midable, and vividly impressed the squads of men that thronged the pathways on either side of the procession and from ume to time directed anything but FRIENDLY LOOKS in the direction of the Orange brethren. The spec- tacle offered by these last was anything but impres- sive, and they looked as uncomiortabie as any men supposed to be enjoying themselves could be ex- pected to look. ‘The gloomy shadows were noticed to deepen, espe- cially when at one point of the Park a most tnviting heap of bricks was discovered lying in the road of { march. But we anticipate, as the novelists say. We have said the procession was anything but impres- sive, either in numbers or respectability. About on¢ hundred men at the outside made up the demonstra- tion, and these belonged entirely to the poorest and least intelligent of the Irish population. Some of the men Wore LARGE ORANGE SCARFS, while others contented themselves with rosettes The Grand Master, Secretary and some other ofi- cials marched at the head, bearing the insignia of Office; but if one mignt judge from appearances they must have been heartily sick of their blushing j honors before the march ta the broiling sun was over. As the sound of the music that told of their coming was heard a number of men poured into the Park trom all the adjacent streets, and the mob began ta assume threatening proportions, Some of the men, ag they rushed into the square, gave A SUOKT WOLPISH CHEER, which is an unfailing sign of danger ahead. Thig accession ot force and the quality of the new comers acted like magic on the mob which had been fol- lowing, and it was easy to see that @ collision was imminent. “Hurroo!? said an old Irish laborer, “here’s an excursion party;’? and at the news a | large body of men broke away across the Park and headed the procession, while the men who had been lagging behind close up. An uneasy feeling was at once mauifested, and the processionists glanced furtively from side to side to side, as if in momentary EXPECTATION OF AN ATTACK. The Dutch bandsmen presented a most miserable appearance and evidently began to wish themselves home and safe from “de tam’d Irisumans.”” They had no particular reason to conceal their appre- henston, and hence tt could be read on their fat good-natured looking faces, while the Orangemen felt called upon to uphold the ancient renown of the order for valor and tried to look as mach as possibie like men who knew what the glorious motto of NO SURRENDER meant, ‘The American flag was borne at the head of the procession, and, as {tt wheeled into the square struck up the “Star Spangled Banner,” and to unis inepiring alt the Orange host marched boldly and Without Minching on the heap of bricks, Which must have looked so inviting to Hiverman hands. It was evident that the vrick heap had caught the eyes of some of the mob, aud it became @ question whether or not the fight would vegin at this spot. Things looked critical, and there could be no avoiding the conclusion that the evil passions of the mob were GLOWING AT WHITE BEAT. Under these circumstances the HERALD reporter jumped upon a seat just iu front of the brick heap; resoived tu have a fuli view of the scene, Contrary to the expectations of every one the procession wheeled ito a side street, and so avoided the “ex- cursion party,”’ who blocked the road im front and behind, imciined to give trouble, For a moment there was a luli, and the brick heap was forgotten, and but for an excited vid maa the day might have passed without alight, But his Ceitic blood could not bear to see THB ORANGE FLAG BORNE IN TRIUMPH cked upa stone and went for the procession, reg yrdless of consequences.
