Sanguinary election • riota took. thee at'
Louisville, Ky., on Monday and • Tuesday
forenoon. From accounts of the riots recelied,
we learn that ttt, least- twenty persons - have
lost their lives in this terrible encounter; butt•
.
the number of the wounded, and the lois of
life, by the burning and sacking of the twelve
dwelling houses fired by the mob, is not even
njeptured. . Thee riot is said to have been .
commenced by the foreigners, and the first
outbreak occurred at some distance from the
place of holding the polls. but upon this point
the accotipts ' l conflict. Tuesday forenoon,
through, the efforts of some of the most pro ;
minent citizens of Louisville, the rioters were.
restrained from further 'acts of violence, and!
during the day a large fc of special police
was ommized 2 and. two • companies of mill
et
tary ordered under arms. These precautions
doubtless prevented a renewal of th ir
bance.
It appears that in the First ward, on Mon
day morning, while the election ;NM going
quietly on, some disturbance arose , at the
polls. Mr. Burge, an American, was insulted,
stabbed and beaten until it was supposed he
was dead, by a party Of Irishmen. The as
&miters were immediately arrested and
'lodged injail.' In the-afternoon three Ameri
cans were fired upon while quietly paising a
German brewery, - several squares from the
polls. Une'gentleman, who was riding quietly
along with his Wife,-was fired on at the same
time several squares below. A perfect,ahower
of shot and bullets was rained from the win
dows of German houses, and many people
were wounded. The foreigners seen in - the
whole vicinity were armed, and attempted
the indiscriminate slaughter of Americans.—
An immense crowd of infuriated Americans
assembled, and were
,fired at from the win
dews, when they burned the German Brewery,
and sacked - several houses. •
The most serious' rioting occurred in the
Eight ward: - About P. M., as three Ameri
cans were quietly: passing along_ Main street,
they were set by' ten Irishmen, and fifteen
shots were fired by the latter. One Amer--
Can, named Rhodes, was killed, and both the
others were wounded. The Irish then took
refuge in a house on the corner of Chappell
and Market streets, whence they fired, and
wounded, several -Americans, and killed two,
named Graham and Robson: The firing
from the houses was continued , for half an
hour, until the Americans procured arms and
and reinforcemcnts, and broke open the hous
es. They succeeded in capturing - the murder
er of Graham, and immediately hung
Ile died. In the meantime there was a per
fect fusilade from rifles and guns from a row
Of Irish houses on the corner of Eleventh and
Main streets, on all passing Americans, sev
eral of whom were badly wounded. The
whole row, known as Quinn's Row, was filled
With Irish, all armed. A crowd of Ameri
cans assembled, and failing to dislodge them,
fired one of the houses and sent for reinforce
ments, which soon arrived - With muskets' and
a cannon. Several Irishmen in the burning
building Were shot and others captured. ' Re
ports were heard in the burning buildings, but
no attempt was made to put out the fire, and
two or three blocks were burned down. Sev
other fires also occurred.
• The mob finally dispersed, after burning the
sign board of the Times othee.
There were in all about twenty persons
killed, besides a great many badly wounded.
Twelve buildings were burned, and several
charred human GudieS were, taken from the
ruins.
The riot was caused thus
• .
In the First ward, as two gentlemen were
riding-in a carriage, they were fired,at . from
house c4ntaining • Germans or Irish. One
gentleman, was wounded, and the firing was'
re pea t e.d4 when Edward W i lia las, watchman
of the Se,.pond ward, Joseph Selvage and John
'Latta, Americans, went to the scene of the
trouble, and they also were fired at. Latta
had his leg badly slatttered by a musket ball,
and Selvage and Williams were also wounded.
Exaggerated reports then spread to the•lower
parts of the city in regard to the aflair, caus
ing a large crowd to assemble, thirsting for
revenge. They gathered around the house
frorn,where the firin , t commenced, took two
Germans from it and heat them so badly that
their reeoveryis considered very doubtful.—
The house was then completely sacked.
The - crowd then proceeded to the houses on
the corner of Shelby and Madison streets, from
whence Germans had been seen firing, riddled
two groceries, a beer house and two houses,
alit ownedand occupied by Germans, and in
.
Jared severely several of their imitates. They
then went to Jefferso - n street, where a party of
gentlemen coming into . the city had been fired
upon from a large bt'ewery, sacked the houses
around 'it, burned the brewery it it 4 beat a num
ber of Germans whom, they captured terribly,
.and also shot an Irishman, who died. In the'
street below an American was slightly injured
IA; a shut, when the Iribmati who fired it
was captured, beaten and shot.
Shots had been fired from all the houses
•,whielt were attacked.
The distarbankes were now supposed to be
over, as the crowtNatd marched to aim engine
house in the*FilthAard with their cannon, and
were beginning to iliperse: but a,fter awhile
it was; learned that while the trouldeshad been
going tut in' the upper part of the city, several
persons had been tired on in'the lower part of
Main streft, and that at about five o'clock in
the afternoon, two Americans had been shot
at fri - ink Irish house on the corner of Main
and Chapel streets, and this without time slight
est provocation being g iven un theit part, as
far as could I.e learned; .and this started the
disturbances afresh. The - Irishman who shot
Rhodes was then taken, and immediately hung,
but was cut down before life became extinct.
The inmates of a row of Irish houses, owned
by a itan Lamed Quinn, fired on a party who
were passing by, when they turned upon their
assailants, burned: their houses, and killed sev
eral, all of whom were Irishmen.
Some of the Irishmen in these houses were
burned to death. it woman and Quinn are
among those who. were killed. Eight to. ten
Louses were destroyed, and the number burned
to death and killed is said to be from fifteen to
twenty.
At last accounts the city was quiet, with the
military under arms: : The fighting was all at
a distance from the 'Polls. The riot origina
ted, in the first place; with a few drunken men.
Further and Latei Facts.
From the Louisville Courier of Aug. 7, we
'extract the following facts. They need no
comment from us. They are strung and in
disputable, coming as th 6: do from• a paper
opposed to the Know. Nothings:
We deeply regret to have' to record the
scenes of violence. bloodshed, and house-burn-
Ing which occurred in ou'r city yesterday. We
cannot now express our great . abhorrenco of
such things; or can we find space in which
to say what what we, Would wish to say upon
this subject.
A- terrible responsibility rests upon those
who have incited th'e tiirei , i population of:
the city to the deeds •Of violence which were
the commencement of the riots in the First
and Eighth wards. \\e are confident th a t
those were not occasioned by anything.
riots
that happened at. any of the several voting
places. •
The election throughout-the city, as far as
we can learn, had passed off with unusual
quiet, with the exception of a brutal outrage
in the First Ward, of which we shall speak
pi+sently. and Some fighting at the. Eighth
Ward roll, in which no one was much hurt.
The riots' were occasioned by indiscriininate
and murderous assaults committed by foreign
ers, chiefly Frisk, .upon inofr.:nsive . citizens,
peaceably attending to their own business, at
some distance from ally of the voting' places.
All the circumstances connected with these
assaults strongly indicate that they were pre
mediated andlustigated bY • other parties thair
those by whom they were actually committed
We are not now prepared to ,say that they
were the consequences only of the incendiary
appeals, for some time past publicly • made to
our foreign population by some of the leaders
of the Anti-American party, or that they were
instigated -by direct instructions or men with
fiendish hearts, who control ilia great meas .
ure•the passions, and are able_to dictate- ac
tions to the Germans and Irish who made the
I at
c
All the facts will probably be . ascertained
. and then the reponsibility will rest
where it properly belongs. The circumstan
ces as detailed to us, and the confessions of
some of the miserable wretehes who were
i made the victims of their insane folly and
murderous violence show that these assaults
upon unnffendim..! and innocent native born
• citizens were premediated, and that the blame
attaches to others who are as yet tinnataed.
We have not now time to give details. We
\assert, however, anttare sure that it will be
proyed by 'respectable Witnesses, , that_ every
Oct of bloodshed was bqtun forergners.—
That in every instance where mortal - violence
ensued, the beginning of the riots was au un
provoked slaughter by the foreigners of peace
able Americans while yaietly passing in the
streets at a distance from the polls. •

dead, when One of these inhuman brutes de
liberately eriened his knife and proceeded to
cut the throat of the murdered man. When
-this act of violence was made known a party
of Americans started in pursuit of the murder-,
ers, who were subsequently arrested and lodg
ed in jail by the Muyor a n d City Mai Shall.
In the; afternoon bet Ween three and four
o'clock,' . several •Americins were fired upon
and severely wounded while.qnietly riding or
walking by the German brewery on Jefferson
street, , near the Beargrass bridge. Among
,these were some gentleman - from Jefferson
Isiunty and several- respectable citizens. One
gentleman who fired :it riding in a buggy
with his Wife seated by his side. About the .
seine time a perfect shower of shot and bullets
were raiued upon every American passer-by
from the Windows of some houses occupied by .
Germans upon Shelby street, in the neighbor
hood of Madison street.
, As soon as these occurences were made
j . .,known it Was aseertained•that large bodies' of
'foreigners, armed with shot guns arid rifles
had assembled iii,the neighborhood of the .
brewery and also - on • Shelby st. .An indis
eliminate [slaughter of American citizens was
apprehended. .An immense crowd of excited.
maddened . , infuriated Americans assembled,
and were tired at from the windows of the
brewery and the houses on Shelby street, and
in seeking to arrest thesel offenders several
- men were badly wounded and the inceused
and infurated,mob burned the brewery and
sacked the houses from which the shots were
fired. i ,
In the Bth ward, the most serious • disturl
fiances oceured about 6 o'clock in the after
noon. A. Mr. Rhodes, in •company' with' two
friends, all American citizens, • was quietly
passing upon Main street, near Chapel, When
they were' set upon by a party of ten Irishmen,
who with horible oaths swore they would clean
the streets of every American. Fifteen shots
were fired upon them.
' RhodeS was killed, and both his companions
were wounded, one of them seriously. The
Irishmen !then ran. up' Chapel street, and on
being pursued, took refuge' in a house at the
corner of Chapel and Market streets, whence
several shots were fired it the inmates, by
which several American citizens were wound
ed and . tWo-were killed, a Mr. Graham and a
Mr. Ifobs'on.
• The firing from this house continued some
half hour. The Irish Were armed to the teeth
with fire-arms of every description, while the
Americans were' almost. totally unarmed, and
were obliged to go. to their homes•to procure
'arms to defend themselves and their friends
from the Murderous fire of the insane:wretches
who bad made. this attack upon them. Be-•
tween G and 7 o'clock a - -sufficient force had
assembled to capture the Murderer of young
Graham; on attempt was made CO hang him,
but We- learn that he is still living:
In the:Meantime a fusilade of shot guns .
and rides' was kept up against any American
.passing by the row of houSes at the corner of
Eleventh and Main, helotigieg, to an Irishman
named Quinn, a brother of Father Quinn, a
Roman Catholic Priest. Several: Americans
were wounded by shots fired &dm these prem
ises. and 'the attentimPof The crowd was given
to' them. -
They were filled with Irishman, and, with
loaded ai;ins as the sequel proved beyond a
doubt. 'Au attempt-was made to drive them
out, and the houses were fired, whether on the
• inside or outside we do not kooW. While
burning, the frequent reports showed that they
were well provided with fite arms; and the
confessions of a poor miserable devil who was
rescued by Capt. Stone, proves that they were
tilled with arms and contained thirteen kegs
of powder provided for the occasion.
We lu neither space nor time . : to enter
into any ; particulars. A number of Ameri:
cans were slain by the foreigners, and a num
ber Of fotein•ners met a heavy retribution.—
We do not know many have been killed, but
have alread heard of some twelve or fifteen
in all, and some ;twelve or thirty have been
. more or less fttigerously wounded.
Witco ls Responsible for the Riot!
This a question which most be answered.
There is a 'errible responsibility- soinewhere,
and the iiroper parties, let them be who they
may, =St bear it. One thing at least is now
The foreigners in this city, more es
pecially the Catholic Irish, from some cause
and at some instigation, were armed to the
tee.h, and used, their arms ; from botjses, he
hind harriers, and from their skulking...places
have slMt down reniorselessly unotTending
citizens ns"thev passed in the stryets.
Of the terrible, the horrible cMnsequenees
of these '.assaults we have not the heart to
speak. There is tui language too strong—
there is no language strong enough, - for its
condemnation. It will be the duty. and the
ltit ninSt bC sternly performed, of - the Coro
ner to thOroughly investigate'the facts.

- . -
Ts Was stated that Lehigh Coal was "well pre

was "preferred!" Is not: high Coal harder than
Schuylkill? Is there Ot more Caloric. emitted
from it than Sebuytkill•P Will not a ton of Le
high go farther and ptudnee•more execution than
a ton of Schuylkill? -I think [rota my knowledge
of the matter, that Lehi4h Coal is cheaper at fifty
cents per ton adrance'over Schuylkill; the latter
is softer, and when eipoSyd to a strong draft will
consume more 'rapidly. at is'.a well established
fact that. Coal taken froitt the Eastern end of a
Basin is better and harder, than Wit extracted
tiara the Western section;; hence, Schuylkill Coal
it softer than' f:ehigh;tfibre inflauttnable because
there is more sulphur 'and bitumen in it.
The Susquehanna Eit•r is ki bar to its Anthra
cite properties 'beyond Which it assumed the Bitu
minous character. The Schuylkill region is more
irregular, broken up anclJaulty; and, Coal is pas

JULY 24,1855. i I
The above article ;vio ent from the "Mauch
Chunk. Gazette." It iirts occasioned by some .
comments of ours in thi..foutinal of' the 30th of
, June, on an fasidiona ;arficie In the ',Philadelphia
Ledger, written, it appears, by a person largely
interested in Lehigh Coil Stock, and as - ignorant
of the subject of which he wrdte, nsZre could pos
sibly wish all the writer), of such Jesuitical and
misleading statements be.
Any one, at 'all conVeifstuat,ier acqpitinied with
the 'entire Anthracite Cofp forMationS'of our State,
will readily se r e' that tlit' . ! writer of the 'above is
also in the tfrif: on this.:ijubjet, or else be wilfully
misrepresents the facts,;,.::
'Self interest and load prejudice's darken the
perception and judgine4 of too many on this sub-
Jed- They are not acqii . ainted with the Coal of
other districts,raud ntattially Oink that their OV;EI
is better than any othef.) .
The mistake is gencrat and does not 4pply to
any one lecalitY. If We , Spe l ,ak in faver, of the
Coal from one RegimiLho the disparagement of iI
that from another, there is certain to be a dispute.
And, the fact is, that Mir 'readers' and the public
generally, are. not satiioently ... inforteed• on this
subject, its extent, qualities and ducal character;
but the time is coming ithen woi hope to supply
this want, and give theta' a fait and impartial work
vrith.the desirable knewiedge, baSecLon facts that
will profit by investigation; the! reiwilt of which
will be to more ermaliso the prices' of Coal and
guide the producet, the, merchant, and consumer.
. Notwithstanding all the q has been said in favor - of
Schuylkill, Lehigh, '4l4land or Wyoming Coal.
one Over the other, therii is se near a similarity
between the same Whit44Ash.veiris. andWhite•Ash
Co'al in each Region, thiit we woald defy the best
judges of Coal, after examining ti number of sam
ples, and not knowing .f . rom 'what Region they
came, to say positiVely froin whence they wore
mined. The only distinOion is, that in some local
ities it is a trifle harder,:.:tind more dense than oth
ers, and at the western eitretnitiis it emerges into
the semi-bituniinous oql ; but i 99. theceptre,of . all
the Anthracite Uarini it is equzAly as hard, and
we also find it more detiie, as we Will Show below.
Our paper is not of adocal character, nor is it
intended to represent; o advocate any local inter
ests exclusively. We 4: { not with, by any unfair
means, to advance the; interests of one Region
•!4
over that of the other. :An this 1 1 espect i the Jour
'm g' has no prejudices, Rut being 'called upon fur
an answer to the article in cfnesion, we shall. as
usual, tell the truth, let its lose or! gain by the dis
cussion. -. •
That the Lehigh Co3l has een "better pre
pared" than the Schuylkill we have :admitted, and
still admit as a general , ihing ; bkit that sin lies at
the door of the'Operattit, and mlk' not be placed
'against the quality et2the Coll, for the brie
White Ash mammoth vitM in thud Region contains
lean bone and rho, thatijit does in the Lehigh.
The Lehigh Coal id a4apted to "particular pur
poes" because they 14tve only the one kind of
Coal, Whit/3 Ash, whß.:;lue have a variety, and it
is only "preferred":-4 ttmsc'who era not acquaint •
ed with our hard WhitOA, or Broad Mountain
COal, or those who hat been imposed on with
"mixed Coal" And that *hich was badly prepared.
The writer asks, '.6lsinot Lehigh Coal horde{
than Schuylkill?" No:! .most emphatically no!
Lehigh Coal iS not hariha than the Coal from the
same . veins here; in ritt k o 'contrary our Broad
Mountain, or un:lerlying veins are harder and more
den.e than the Lehight: It geological fact,
which we think no (Melt allnEguainted with the
Coal formations of th O iAnthracito Regions will
doubt, that the Coal itOhe deep, compressed Ba
sins of the lower vcipsOs heavier than, the Coal
in the upper veins of this or, the Lehigh Region
—when they arc all ap*ted or lie in shallow ba
sins.
"Is there not more CrS:foric emitted from it than
Schuylkill ?" To thiswe must say no, again =
indeed the writer freniwllich wo quote, - iippears
to know but little of the Schuylkill Coal; for, as
wo will show, the 3,1n40th vein in this section
in many places, contoitgs less bone and slate, has
larger benches of Coal, is equally as hard, and con.
sequently is more denseS'iand equally as pure as . the
Lehigh. A dense, 104 and" pare Coal musepro
duce more Calorie heat ! ) than a ur impure
Coal • because the onc!hocs!not contain so much
.„
'Carbon. and the other ;contains more oshes., Our
Red Ash C'oal is pro've4dal fur its excellence for
stoves and grates, njulls "preferred" before any
other for culinary ptirPOscs.! '
"Will not a ton of Le:high go farther and pro
duce more exceutton 04an a ton of Schuylkill?"
In answer to this WOuust •say, as we said be
fore, that a dense, hard and pure Coal, 'though it
requires a stronger drOt to consume it, will go
farther and produce trip execution for manufae;
taring and steam puri4es, than a soft Coal, oven
though it contains ntor#.Carbon to its weight; and
this the writer semi'? lik . adinit, for he afterwards
adds, froth his kooscfe4e of the matter, that "Le
high Coal is cheaper 'tit fifty cents per ton ad
vance over the Schuylkill :The Irter," he says,
"is ketficr, and when, exposed to a strong draft
will consome' l thore rap illy," but the fact is, though
we have loam which iii.;:sefter in the upper Red
Ash veins—we have!alstO the great Mammoth; and
other underlying vcini the Coat of which is as
bard as any Coal in l'Oinsylvania, or in the world.
Ile further adds as iii established fact (!)•"thiit
Coal taken from tite,Eotern end of a_Basin is I:t
-ier and harder that' dh4t.which is extracted from
the Western section i!lience, , Schuylkill Coal is
coffer than Lehigh,!ail more ituflanitnahle, be
cause it contains moro i 4ulphur and bitumen!"
• .- . ' • .
He appears to labor ,iin(ler the finpresiion, and
it may lie a general ItaWahe, that the Coal is hard
er at the Eastern eltiiinities of all 'Basins than I
it is iu the Middle, (it' iii the Western extremities.
This is generally trite Ws regards the We.tera ex
tremities, hut on the !t!ontrary, the Coal in the
deep Basins or tuiddleiif all Regions is, if any
thing
beerier and har4r than at the Eastern ter- i
initiation of the Basin l i( t . But that the Co . al grad-
nally grows softer, even from the centre of the
Basins, -is apt a fact:thit wilds good in all the An- I
thracite lygions ; far it Nanticoke in the Wy,,-
ruing Regiooo l ./ I ,Y ?4,1' . ,rs from its Eastern extrem
ity beyor.ti Carbondalciand only eight miles from
Shiekshinny, its Wtttdn extremity, the Coal
is equally as hard; if harder than it is in any
portionof the La4Aihwanna Valley; and as regards
purity, it would lose nqhiny by the comparison.
• That "the Sehuylkiltßegion is more irregular,
broken np and faulty/11'4o 'also admit,_ and that
Coal is often passed th'rnigh the Brealier, which
in the Lehigh would hiqeft in the mine. But be
cause these things hate been done, is no good
reason why it should i he dune again. The More
faulty veins are not Hite worked to that, extent
which they formerly l tvere. Oar Cperatols artr
confining themselves inure to our large underly
ing White Ash veini, which aro more regular, and
found more profitable 4 work. ,But we have also
a great quantity of Tree, hard Red Ash Coal still,
which brings a higher4Priee in. the market, and
those who hpfe been Ong it for stores and grates,
prefer it to either the Schuylkill or Lehigh White
Ash Coal.
.'No.siri you are
.poiltively'wrong, and as far
from being chiLt in regard to the quality and hard
ness of mutual, as yal# possibly can be.
Raving run over ;the subject with a, hasty
glance, we will now, tali° up the separate points
and discuss them independently, or in comparison
with the two'RegionS,,iaore fur the purpose of giv
ing correct informationito our 'readers, than mere
ly as an answer to the4rticle in question.
Par:pane° Coat..i-nil is notorious that the pre
pared Coal which witiOhipped from the Lehigh
Region last year, whetr'4onrs was s'uipped in scan
dalous order, was Init ktle better than oar own,
and the complaints vveta.equally as numerous, or
nearly so, against the B' oat from that Region as
they were against out'` own. This fact goes to

Flour is still on the decline. $l,l 00 bbl.
is now asked for good family flour, and $l2 00
for extra Ohio' brandi. The article is held
rather Srmer this week in the New . York and
Philadelphia markets than lest. Great stress
is laid upon the injury sustained by the wheat
crop of, New York State and elsewhere, in
consequence of the late heavy rains, by those
whose interest it is to sustain high prices; but
the general impression is, that the damage
sustained from this cause is fully . made up by
the superabundant yield, in other: sections of
the country.
Oats are still going down, and are now sell
at 50 cts. furl new, and 60 for 'old crop.—
Potatoes are becoming more plentiful, and are
in the market by farmers from the rountry, at
from 62 to 75 cents per bushel. : '
