Terrible Election Riot in Washington, [. S. TROOPS OK BEREI) OIT. SEUE/LIL Pl: aso.vs KILLED xyd WO VXD ED. Ihe municipal election took place in the city of Washington on M >nday, and uv regret to say was attended by scenes of the most dis graceful character, involving the loss of life and the wounding of a number of persons. In ad dition to the particulars vve cave tel.- 'iaph yesterday} vve take the following details from the Star: In the first precinct of the Fourth Ward this morning a general tight occurred, in which several hundred men and bovs were engaged, indiscriminately. It seems that some forty 5 or fifty Piug (_ glies came down from Baltimore tins morning to a- ,ist our citizens in the elec tion to-day. Alter floating around for some time without effecting ant thing of note, they pitched upon the Fourth Ward precinct,as being the most eligible scene for their opera tions. A long nne of voters wvie standing in the street, extending for some distance from the polls, and composed principally of anti-know nothing voters. The Plugs-, assisted by several large squads of Counters and li -Raps of our own city, endeavored to break into this line by crowding, but not succeeding in this (bey left tile scene of act ion to concert more hostile measures. After a short time they returned largely re ir. forced in numbers, and with r. vol vers, stones, tallies, brickbats, they made a concentra ted oashiiigiit upon the voters. A terrible scene now ensued in w inch the entire crowd partici pated. bt'.m s and pistol* ever - r;:picfJy di et, urged and m n Were trampled to the "earth, beaten, stumped on and severely worm fed. A morig tin se injured were R. il. Owens, fourth ward commissioner, who bad ids wrist badly shattered by a pistol all: A. Iv. hi .n-i receiv ed a spent bail in Ins I rehead. which stunned him, but inflicted no s-ri is injury. Can-tain Goddard was with several officers, on the ground, and the captain did good service with i',J.' UK fi A . I s?ruck several times, but got off without any sen us damage. An Irishman was so dread fu !v mot slated that his features were entirely uudistinguisiia !:le, and his head a- d shoulders were covered with blood. The polls weie torn down by this imported gang of Railim .re villains, the pave ments were strew n with stones, clubs, and other missiles. Several of the nngl aders were ar rt >ted and taken to the guard bouse, amongst others, a you eg man 1 v the name of Johnson. The buildu in the n, ighl. irh < d v. >re dam age d, thed'= -rs and wi< dows !u i g broken in on all sides. In the skirmish Mi. (ieo. D.Spencer received a severe blow in the face. An old man named Cas>iduy, a granite cut ter, received a bullet wound over the hit ear ; 'lie ball fortunately, however, glanced and did not penetrate the skull. If'- wa - tak' n to the residence of Dr. Palmer, who attended to tile wound. .Mi. Alatthey Emery was severely injured by a blnvv from a stone. In consequence ot the disturbances there was a general closing c>f the stores and places of business quite early in th-* morning. At the first precinct of the fourth ward the flicers did all in their power to prevent the ri ot, placing themselves between the belligerents and the \ teis in the line, with Cap'am God dard at the l'mad, who demanded the peace, when tliev re-' <-d on en m> and with an impetuosity which nothing short of a mi'itaiy force could have withstood, and although the police f, light like heroes, they were forced to a' am! n tile fit-Id to the possession of these hi red miscreants. Such an exhibition of murderous instruments as the party cariied was sutiicienl to cause the neaceablv disposed to keep at- far from them a> possible. One man was arirtetl witli a large blacksmith's sledge-, another with a horse j.is t d of large dimensions : another carried a uns et llaneous assortment of revolvers, liowie knives, billies, an iron bar, whilst a fourth carried, be sides a side pocket filled with convenient stones, brickbats, a large billet ol oak wood oi sufficient weight tv> fell an ox. I hese weapons were as thick as mulberries in season, the par ties brandishing them about in a menacing man ner, to the horror of all those who w ere not like then.selves, participants in these disgrace ful scenes. Mayor Magruder immediately sent the fol lowing communication (accompanied by certifi cates) to the President, asking that a company of the United Stales marines should be ordered out for the purpose of maintaining the peace. MAYOR'S! OFFICE, WASHINGTON, JFME 1, L8.~>7. To the President of Ike United SL.dcs : SIR f Upon the representation ot creditable I citizens that a band of lawless persons, most of i them not residents of this city, have attacked lone of the polls at which the annual election is now in progress', and after maiming some twen ty good and peaceable citizens, have driven the i remainder from the polls, have dispersed the I commissioners of election, and threaten further violence on any attempt to carry on the elec tion, I respectfully request you to order out the I company of United States marines now in this city, to maintain the peace thereof, (he civil j authorities finding their.:elvt-s unable to do so ! with the means at their disposal, and there be- I ing no other ! i)iteci Stales soldiersat your corn- J nrand in this cil v. I have instituted a personal ; inquiry int.. the natter, and find that the wea, ! pons used were various kinds of firearms, clubs, j knives, and stones, and the facts stated in the j enclosed certificate are just and true. WM. ],. MAO RUDER, Mayor. ihe I resident forthwith gave the requisite i orders-. ( Mir Baltimore visitors were, about 11 o*- Ciock, g Kid enough to pay a visit to the second Uvurd polls, wearing the K. \. ticket as a badge, and .>nouting for "Dixon as a rallying crv. In a tew minutes tlieir inevitable revolvers were ; ou, i some thirty or forty shots Were fired in quick succession in the neighborhood of Elev enth street and tin* avenue. In (he all ray, a young man residing on Thir teenth street, between II and i, named John Ouzeley, \va- shot in the knee. About this i tin,e some of the "sniid men" of the ward was .-■en emerging lrom their residences armed with fnu Lets ja if they had some notion ot g'wtrg up on a gunning expedition. The Plug Ugliessee med to think the second ward was getting insa lubrious, ate! they left in a body, probably with ; the design of regulating some of the other pre cincts. Noon after the affray at the second ward, a detachment of the delectable Plug Ugln-s made | f heir appearance at the second precinct of the fourth ward, and succeeded for a while in dri ving away the voters from the [rolls. They were finally driven ■,,, by the officers. I the po-- lice in attendance, and they then rallied under the ci v of '-to the seventh ward I" in which di rection they proceeded. .At 1 o clock a noisy crowd of men arid boys passed lip Pennsylvania avenue from the direc tion oi the fifth ward, dragging alter their, a smaji brass gun. U here th-v g tit we arc un able to say, hut it was said they intended to use it to defend therr.si Ivi s. Immediately after fwo companies of the United States Murines, com manded by Copt. Tyler, Went to the City ilall, and reported for sei vice to the Mayor. Sli'iitly after 1 oc. ok P. Al. the marines - (two companies, lit) men in all) arrived on the ground, first precinct of the fourth ward, under charge r.f Capt. Tyler, arid accompanied by- Mayor Magruder. The opposition had in the , meantime procured a hi ass cannon, and sta tioned it at the Northern market house, which i they made their headquarters. After the Mayor had addressed the crowd, i stating that the solders were bo ught there I solely to maintain the public peace of the c.ly, which tiad been flagrantiv violated, the marines - moved upon the maitjej lu-U-e to fake j ,>- and opprobrium, ending finally in the possessors of the cannon firing pistols at the marines. I tie < latter, however, moved steadily on, Seized the i cannon, and tin u due warning having been • given, replied to the pistol shot upon them by I a volley of ball. The Plug i glu- then scat- .* tered, finng shots as they did so from behind - corners. After the smoke cleared away tin* terrible ; sight was presented of lour or five persons in the agon is of death, and several others fear fully V" und.ed. Ihe nane-s of those killed and wntKw d, so - far as we can ham, as we go to pjess, ore : Alston, gt"<"iy keeper, shot through the head, dead. T homus \\ illis, of Anne Acun- < deli county, Md., shot in the back fatally, it js thought. A* colered nan shot dead, t ame un known. P. F. Bell, seventh ward, knee terri bly fractured. Colonel VViilian s. of the Land Office, shot in the left arm, while standing at hi- window in the second story of his lions-".— Colonel I) oris, also of the Land Office, was shot, but how seriously injured we did net learn. And old man lay dea l ma. Hyatt's store, shot through the hern!and breast. Another man, shot in the abdomen, near the market house, dropper! apparently fatally woun ded, and was carried aw ay by Ins ftienms. The groans of the wounded and the execra tion of their friends upon the soldiers filled tm air, and the sight of pools of cf-lted Lb>od up on tiie sidewalks and streets, rriarle up a scene, such as, we trust, our city will never again be called upon to witness.

It is stated positively that for the baleful visit ofthe IkilfiiTi 'it* "Plug 1 glii's" we are indebt ed to tlie citizens of Washington occupying 1:' iiiinnit positions. It is stated that these cit izens of Washington raised the in ney to bring on these "Plug i gin s," sent agents to procure their "services, received this crowd ol hell hounds at the Railroad Depot; took them in charge, and provided them with an entertain ment prt punitory to the work of 1!> day ! If this res >, does not the blood of tlie victims of t i:e trag'-dv of yesterday rest upm the heads of those citizens rather than upon their ignorant besotted f>o!s, who ku.w no better than to do the bloody work for which they were hired and brought here to accomplish. At all events, to the presence ofth*se rowdies an- we indebted for tin-scenes of yesterday, and the parties act ing as tools and leaders may divide the responsii ilitv as best they can. It is all very we'll to say that the citizens vennld, it called upon, have promptly organized an 1 put down the rowdyism without military aid. Is it not notorious that they were called upon and appealed to in the name of their sa cred rights, ! v public spirited gentlemen, to 11- nite ami crush out the mob, and that either thro' apathy >i far, not a man stirred. It i> equally a 1 surd to say that the volunteer soldiery could have responded t<> a call upon them. Where were the volunteers ? W by, scattered to the fur quaiters of the city, at the election pre cincts, or at their i t sidences or places of busi ness. And now we propose to give a fuller history than We were able to do yestelday, ol the e vents of die day after it was found absolutely ii -ces.-arv to invoke military aid for the restora tion f law and order. The Marines were ordered out bv requisition from the President, on the authenticated state ment of the Mayor and a number of citizens that the police force was insufficient to protect the citizens of Washington in the exercise of their suffrages. The two Companies out num b-led in all 1 If), officers and men. The Ratal lion under the command ol ( apt. i3'Rr. and Lieut. Henderson, Adjutant. The first Compa ny was commanded by Major Zelin, the second by ( apt. Maddux and Lieut Turner. The Marines formed tu Line and marched to wards the Citv Hall the crowd of rioters hooting and yellii g, threatening and insulting them at every step. They w ere passed on their way up bv a crowd of Plug Uglies ond others, who were hauling a brass swivel, and threatening that not a Marine should return to the Navy Yaid alive. Arrived at the City Hall, Captain 'i vb-r reported service to llie Mayor. The Marines were addressed by Lieut Hen derson, who said: "Men you have always done your duty in trie service of your country, 1 . >;- pect you now to do \ our duty bravely, if neces sary, in the protection of the laws, and the rights of citizen.)." * The files then moved to the scene ol action, subjected the while to the most abusive and in sulting epithets Iron, the lawless gang who fol lowed! When they arrived opposite the polls, which had been closed some time, thev halted in the noddle of' the street, and ord-red arms. Some sixtv or seventy yards above thein, and opposite the market house, a cannon was hauled out and a large crowd of i inters surroundeu it, while a delegation of their number were sent to inform the commanding officer that unless the Marines were instantly withdrawn the piece would be discharged into their rank#. Cap'ain Tyler,o:l receiveng this threatening message, immediately gave the or-hy to move to wards the gun, and when the rtgm (A the :rne was m-arlv • pposlte, Gen. IF'tineis u %oi atelv went Up to the piece and placed his body a -uinsl the muzzle, thereby preventing it being aimed at the Marines, just at the moment when it was about being discharged. 'I h* General was dres.-ed in citizen's dress and armed with not hi tier more deadly than a cotton umbrella He a 'dressed the rioters, saying. "Men, vou hat. best think twice before you lire this piece at the Marine*." He informed the crowd that the ."runs were loaded with ball cartridge, and war ned them repeatedly to desist. All the others ■repeatedly warned the citizens to go aw ay Iron. the spot. , , Tim General, finding that the piece would be discharged on I CM; captured, m - an.. . <•' '• over to Capt. Tvle, and gave the order tor ten or fifteen of the' Marines to take it. During tins time a number of pMol shots were fired at Gen. Henderson, some of the pairies standing wita i„ a few feet of him. when firing. One platoon of the Marines brought their arms to the Iran, without cocking, and charged the piece on a run, tluse in charge of the piece instantly re treated, and a dozen or more revolvers were dis charged at tlie platoon, who laid hold ci tiiegun and were taking it away. A smite was made by the mob to recover the piece, when Lwt. Henderson ran up and hauled it across the street to the rear of the Marines. A man ran up to the General within two feet of his person, and was about to discharge his revolver when a Marine with bis musket struck his arm, causing the wupon to ia.l, at the same time the General seized the villain and marched him oil' to the Mayor, into u ho- nanus he placed him. The pistol si -is now ralileu round like luil stones, and the officers had great difficulty in restraining their men from return ing the "fire. Gen. Henderson ami all the offi cers were constantly admonishing the men not to lire until the command v. as given, tut a shot coming from the crowd struck a Marine in the cheek, inflicting a dreadful wound, and several more being hit with halls and brick bats, the , • i . _ , - ,i ■■ rmnrei. m aft Tftiswenng ii.e, which was stopped as soon as ; < >sible bv the officers. The two cum parries now formed in hollow square, where they remained standing for some lime. Several shots were fired l'rom a distance, bv one of which a Marine was wounded in the shoulder. 1 lie attaliui made a movement as it to pour in another volley, which the rioters see ing, took to their heels and (led. ihe force was finally drawn oil'to the G;tv Hall, where they remained lor some time, and then proceeded to the Railroad Dej >t to intero pi, it necessary, anv mere of the murderous gang arriving from Baltimore. Thev remained here until halt past S o'clock, when the Captain i>c< ived notice In in the Mayor that their service was no longer re quired, and thev accordingly proceeded to their barracks. It is a fart worthy of notice, that of the Mar ines who were called out GO of them wo re raw re'cfints. and had not been under drill three days. They are nearly all natives. The char ges of their being "foreign hirelings" emj loyed bv Executive power to shoot down American citizens, is thus refuted. Soon after this the Ting 1 T giies thinking that j Washington was getting P.o hot tor them, started precipitately for the railroad depot, and when the doors were opened prior to the departure of the 3 o'clock train, they poured in, pell mell, bearing large carpet bags, crammed with pistols, ' hnwie knives, billies, and other murderous im- | plements. In six b haste were they that they crowded past the gate keeper in a wav to put it beyond his power toget a sight at their tickets. When tiie v got i'aiidv in the cars, they are sai i to have been remarkably docile, and well behaved, and ' have presented'a marked contrast to their brava do air in the morning. Those of tliem who ai rived at the depot too late for the 3"o'clock train walked rapidly on towards Biadensburg, as li to pdace as wide a gap ys possible b-tvveen them selves ami this city, before the departure of the next train. A large party of the "plugs" had started yes terday from Baltimore to reinforce their friends in this city, but were notified by their compatri ots that they would be called upon to fight gov ernment troops instead of quiet citizens, upon which rhey postponed their v i>it til! a more con venient season,got out quietly at Locust Point : station, three miles from Baltimore, and walked i back to that city. With the departure of our unwelcome visi tors quit was restored and maintained thiongh out the night. Jt is gratifying to know that many promi nent citizens proffered tin ir services to the May or at an early hour yesterday morning, among whom was General Henderson, Dr. Thomas Miller, and Walter Lenox, Esq-, the la*t two gentlemen having promptly accepted the posi- ' tion of special police. Throughout the day the presence of the Mar shal of the district, Mr. Hoover, was eveiy where conspicuous, and up to a late hour last J night, lie was at the jail in anticipation of an j attack which had been threatened, and which., we are happy to say, did not take place. Major French's company of Light Artillery which has been summoned from Fort McHenry as a precautionary measure, arrived here about half past nine o'clock, in a special train, num- j beting eighty men, including officers, and com- TERMS, S ■_> PER YEAR.

The Toronto papers pf the 30th ult., gives the details of the explosion of the lnkerman.—- She was backing out from the wharf, and bad commenced her direct course outward when the dreadful explosion took place: The vessel herself was literally torn to pieces. The noise of the explosion was heard on tlie wharves all around, and told that adreadlul ac - cident had occurred. But tor some moments the ill-fated vessel was completely enveloped bv dense clouds ol steam and smoke. W hen these were cleared aw ay, the appalling nature of the accident was at once apparent lrom the shore, and numbers of small boats hurried to the spot, to " i v e ail the assistance in their power to the survivor?. The Highlander, Captain Seoffield, also orotnpllv proceeded to the spot, and hav ing fastened a rope to the wreck, commenced haul it toward shore. But w hen it had peen brought to within about twenty yards of the wharf, it sunk. Kflons were then made to char awav the rubbish, and get out the survivors and the bodies oi t lie dead.
