MOB AT ERIE.
Tie passage of Fix net's Railroad Bill exci
; ! tiw "Erie Ifippers" tosiuh a degree that 1
pent up wrath could not be contained,
. .'.on Friday night last, they vented their fu
ry i the Erie Constitution newspaper office, i
. - houses of several respectable citizens.
ir iriediate cause of the out-break was a
fig .'tween young WALKER and a "ripper" bv .
t: • name of Cochran, the latter of whom re- '■
.•; ...j a very see.-re and most righteous whip-
Afirr which the Court House hell was
j. and a crowd of scoundrels and biack
milled, who were hariangued by the
.• Cochran in a violent and inflainma- ;
t v a annej. Tlie mob then proceeded to the
Iff >f the Constitution, tore down the sign
and made a grand bonfire in the street of eve
" ing in the building ofa combustible na-
A 1: rg" quantity of print ing paper, all of the
mv Ir.rarv of Mr. JOHXSON, lailroad attorney
and editor of the piper, with all his papers ami
ad accounts, were also destroyed. The
' th'-n go? out the cannon, and being excited
\ ! - thunder, went to work and gutted the
trig, entirely demolishing it. Ihe loss o!
■dr. Jouxsox must amount to several thousand
<M'I >. They afterwards pioceeded to the.
- of Mr. T RACY, anotheiLprominent rail-.
' G man, and fired several bullets in at the,
} bus, and threw brick-bats and other mis-j
• M;t other houses. The affair is one of the j
■>' di-giacefbl that ever lilackened the lame j
any cit v. From TRACT'S they, went to j
d .NIT.'-, hut his windows being fortified by
w iiuiow-shutteis, they were unable to ef-.
'•ctanything. Had they succeeded in getting j
i v would have been met with murderous i
'is, as v 'ting Walker's friends ha ! a-sein
th-ie in considerable numbers,
ese proceeding* are alike disgraceful to the j
.HI • : Erie and to all ho have been in
' eta' in biijigirig about this state ol things.
' ( - , the excited and ignorant mob Who [
the cat's-paws in the transaction, are not j
much to blame as those men, who con- j
t! ' TTiSeIVeS respectable, and who Were tlie
if they were not the immediate, instiga- i

Ust night, about 12 o'clock, a fire broke out in .
'northern end of the large rag and paper ware-
Messrs. Ji'suip am! Moore, on the south |
Fa-t North street, below Sixth. The wind |
'wii g ireshly from the Northeast at the time, j
tlrtiries weie carried through with learlu! ra
y the other extremity of the store, on Com- |
.. j '' street. Thp large srructure was speedily eri-
v l "'' in fiaroes. which were carried hy the force
j' ,? *ind against the buildings adjoining, and they
- foo;, a P;,),; blaze.
o arid to the di-a-trous effects of the fire, the hur
,a £> And paper were vomited forth from the)
and carried on the wind in a Southwesterly j
T on, where tliey fell in a fiery shower. The i
; '••! were , wn it," service, but it was speedily!
-"t Mat all the buildings West ol tlie paper I
( "bxtit street, and South Jo Market street.)
*"■ ' ,v °ld :ti destruction. The State House j
• bell was immediately struck for a general alarm, and j
its constant strokes brought to the ground the entire
tire department of the city.
The worst fears w ere soon realized. The buildings
on the South side of Kast North street, and upon
both sides of Commerce street, were soon in a light
blaze, the Market rtreet Stores extended back to the
last named street, and the tlames were soon pouring
out of the window- on to that avenue and threaten
ing to extend to Che-nut -tieet. By "2 o'clock, the
Western end ol the block bounded by Market, North
and Sixth streets, was in flames, and the wind had
carried the burning Bakes into th block immediately
West of the main body of the conflagration. Back
of the Western side of Sixth street, a large sehool
bou-e belonging to the Society of Friends, a carpen
ter shop, and several small dwellings, were in flames
and burning furiously.
The roofs of two large stores on the lower side of
Market street, below Sixth took fire, and the roofs
of two buildings on the west side of Sixth street lie
low Market, were in flames by half pa-t;> o'clock.
The scene was now most frightful—the flames
shot up high into the air, illuminating the entire city,
and threatening to destro'' entire blocks to the wind
ward. Commerce and North streets were in flames,
; and (ires were raging on both sides of Market and
Sixth streets. The wind, which was increa-ing in
-trenght, was carrying a fiery shower to a great dis
tance ; all around the scene of devastation persons
were hurrying away their families and their goods to
places of safety. The firemen, bewildered and dis
tracted at the insufficiency of the means at their
command in comparison with the vastness of the
field of exertion before them, struggled manfully i
wiih the destroying element, anil under the judicious
command of their officers did the best they could.
The fire continued to spread until after day-light,
and w hen the sun ro-e a sickening scene of destruc
tion wn- exhibited. T'.very building on the north
side of Market street, irom the unfinished iron struc
| ture at N. '219, to Sixth street, was in ruins, and
j most of the houses on the east side of Sixth street to
| North street, were down. The western ends Of
| North and Commerce streets were in ruins, while ug
ly gap- were made in the blocks south and west of
the hounds described. Some st> buildings w ere de
stroyed, many of them stores of great value.
