Riot—Copperheads Leading the Iden..-A
True Statement of Facts.
That a disgraceful riot took place in this city
during the past week no one can deny, but the
statement, given by the various letter writers
from this city are so much at variance with the
real state of affairs that we shall give an unvar
nished history of the same.
On Monday night last a difficulty commenced
at a negro restaurant, where a few soldiers (to
their shame be it said) had congregated tri.get
intoxicating drink. It seems that these men
were refused the intoxicating beverage, at
which they became enraged, carried off several'
tumblers, Btc. A police officer saw the disturb
ance, and he arrested what he supposed to be
the offenders, took them to an alderman's
office, but the alderman, not deeming the proof
sufficient, discharged them. After this, the
friends of the arrested parties rallied, went to
the negro restaurant, and destroyed all the
furniture in the houSesiCle nearly all the
clothing, a lady's gold watch and some twenty-
five dollars in specie, the hard savings of the
family. From this place they vielted nearly
all the negro houses in the Iremcdirite vicinity,
and demolished everything that could easily be
destroyed. The window shutters were forced
open, sashes broken out, and wherever any
thing of value could be , found it was taken
These rrilM were pillitied and' encouraged by
white men and boys of this &Ey. 'lnnocent
colored families were ruthlessly' driven from
their homes, and corn pelted to seek refuge some
where in the outskirts of the city. .
During the next day (Tuesday) 'several col
ored men, quietly walking in iheestreets and
others working at new buildings, Sta:, were at
tacked and unmercifully beaten by men who
disgrace a United States uniform, and in the
evening another attack was made on quiet
colored families in another part of the city, but
thanks to the police, a general disturbance was
prevented, and it least one of the ring leaders
was captured and lodged in prison. The man
committed to jail, Cornelius Blank,,belongs tQ
the 182 d regiment, and hails from Perry county„
has since been bailed out by his captain giving
security. The determination evinced by thei'
police officers and firing of several shotis, among'
them, had an. excellent effect. They skedad
dled in all directions. Later in the evening
some twenty other rioters were arrested by the
provost guatd, and marched down to prison, but
Mayor houmfort, contrary to all law and pre
eldest, took upon himself the responsibility of
discharging them. These men were plotting
to commit depredations on the May Houtiiiwben
arrested, and yet a sworn magistrate shields
rioters by discharging them. If .these men had
promptly been imprisoned no further outbreak'
would have occurred.
The next day (Wednesday) the Sheriff, who
had been absent from the city, was appealed
to, and he enrolled a sufficient force at once to
quell any future disturbance. tad the
desired effect, and our city has been quiet ever
since. No one denies 'Etat that if-the city had
been blessed with an effirderit Mayor, the dis
turbance would have easily been quelled the
first evening, and that without the destruction
of property belonging to inoffensive colored
men and women.
The blame for this disturbance is unjustly
heaped upon the ,returning soldiers. Some
twenty-five drunken men were the perpetrator,
of all these outrages, but they were led on and
encouraged hydro copperheads of this city. A
prejudice against an unfortunate Mee was
created by men who would this day rather see
Jeff Davis, in power than Preeident Lincoln.
Men who are too cowardly to fight in the relll
ranks, but at 'the same' time attempt to sow'
discord in._oursy'werti leading these Men, influ
enced by intoxicating drink to commit wrongs
on unprotected negroes. None but cowards
would be engaged in such work, and it was so in
this case.
The noble soldier, of whom we had thou
ands in this city during the past two weeks,
behaved litre men and heroes. To .these al!
proper respect , was Shown, and they were hon
ored as true heroes from the battle field should
be.
It now behooves the authorities, who have
the names of these white leaders residing here,
to prosecute them to their fullest extent.
Riot cannot be permitted in any shape, and we
hope that no attempts will be made to permit`
the escape of the guilty, although he be what
some might term a "respectable copperhead.
Ws oar= hear it remarked by disloyal men,
that if the Crittenden Compromise - had been,
accepted by the North, the South would nev i t
have rebelled. But the truth is, it was the
South itself that refused to accept that Com-
promise. Mr. Crittenden himself, in a recent
public speech in Kentucky, alluded to this sub-.
ject ; and here is the very language he used :
"Had my Compromise Resolution," said he,
" been adopted by the South as it was agreed to
by the North, the rebellion and war would have
been obviated." We trust that those copper
heads who are so fond of referring to the pr,it- .
tandem Compromise will hereafter caddie tit
onus of its rejection where it belongs. •

Could, the life of any of the Revolutionary
Tories have been prolonged until to day, we
should undoubtedlY have found them always
on the same aide—laboring against and de
nouncing their Government. They who de
famed Washington would have condemned
Jackson, Butler and Burnside.
We have an example now before us, bearing
on the point ; indeed, it exactly illustrates
what we have said ; though the individual..to
whom we refet did not live during the &vain
tion ; but he left a record, many years since, of
his views on the conduct of General Jackson at
New Orleans ; - and ,durtng the present war he
has been pointed td as `the great' champion of

viction' but until t at4xonviction comes, I put
it forth, not as a dictate of feeling but as a set !
tled maxim of the laws of nations, -that idsuch
a case the military supersedes the civil power.
Judge Nicholas became very indignant at the
remarks of Dir. Adams, and published:the ar
ticles and pamphlet referred to, in which he
said, that be "had supposed that, in - the estinsa

Colonel Phillipe had a severe fight with por

crossed the Arkansas river near Fort Gibson.
Col., Philips drove them back. Our loss was
30 killed, and the enemy's much greater. The
enemy was led by Generals Steele, Cooper and

claiming tcrhave 11,000 men and considerable
artillery. We have only 3,000, slid one bat

This is evidently the advance of Price's main
