HERALD AND EXPOSITOR
[From tho Louisville Journal, Aug. 7.]
THE LOUISVILLE ELECTION RIOTSI.
FULL PARTICULARS
Origin of the Riots. dLe.
We .deeply regret to have to record the
scenes of violence, bloodshed and house burn
ing which occurred in our city, yesterday. We
cannot now express our great abhorence of
such things; -nor can we find space in which
to say what 'wó would wish to say upon this
subject.
A terrible .responsibility rests upon those
who have incited the foreign population of - the
city to the deeds of violence which were the
commencement of the riots in the First and•
Eighth IVards. We arc confident that these
riots were not occasionod by anything 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
presently, and some fighting at the Eighth
Word polls, in which no one was much hurt.
The riots were occasioned by indiscriminate
and murderous assaults committed by foreign
ers, chiefly Irish, upon inoffensive citizens,
peaceably attending to their own business,, at
some distance from any of the voting Places.
All the circumstances connected with these
assaults strongly indicate that they were pre
meditated and instigated by other parties than
those by whom they were actually committed.
We are not now prepared to say that they
were the consequen2es only of the incendiary
appeals, for some rime past publicly made to
our foreign population by some of the lenders
of the Anti-American party, or that they were
instigated by direct instructions of men with
fiendish hearts, who control in a great measure
the passions, and are able to dictate actions to
the Germans and Irish who made these attacks.
All the facts will probably he ascertained
judicially, and then the responsibility will rest
where it properly belongs. The circumstances,
as detailed to us, and the confessions of some'
oe the miserable wretches who were made the
victims of their insane folly' and murderous
violence, show that these assaults upon unof
fending and innocent native born citizens were
premeditated, and that the blame attaches to
others who are as yet unnamed.
We have not now time, to give details. We
assert, however, and are sure that it will he
proved by respectable witnesses, that every
act of bloodshed was begun by foreigners
That in every instance whore mortal violence
ensued, the beginning of the riots was an un
provoked slaughter by foreigners of peaceable
Americans while quietly passing in the streets
at a distance from the, polls.
This infuriated the populace, and a prompt
and terrible resort to mob violence, by which
many foreigners were killed and much pro
perty destroyed, was the consequence. In the
First Ward, about 9 o'clock in the morning,
while the election was proceeding quietly at
the polls, Mr. George Forge, a respectable and
quiet American Citizen, was brutally assaulted
by a party of Irishmen on Jackson street, be
tween Jefferson and Green, without having
given any provocation; he was knocked down,
and horribly beaten with stones and clubs.
lie attempted to escape from the fiends by
whom he was attacked, and ran into the alley
of an adjoining house, where he was followed
by his blood-thirsty assailants, and cut, stab
bed and beaten until he was supposed to be
dead, when one of these inhuman brutes de
liberately opened 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 mur
derers, who were subsequently arrested and
lodged in jail by the Mayor and City Marshal.
In the afternoon, between three and four
o'clo6k, several Americans were fired upon
and severely wounded, while quietly riding or
walking by the German brewery on
_Jefferson
street, near the Beargrass bridge. Among
these were sonic, gentlemen from Jefferson
county, and several respectable oi s tizens ; One
gentleman who was fired at was riding in a
buggy with his wife seated by his side. About
thdatne time a perfect shower of shot and
tl3 were rained upon every American pas
'soil% from the windows of some !muses oc
•eimpted.tay Germans upon Shelby street, in the
-rteigifterhood of Madison street. .
As ..spon as' these ecourrences were made
knoWn l was ascertained that large bodies of
foreighers, armed with shot guns and rifles,
had assembled in the neighborhood of the
brewery and also on Shelby street.. An indis
criminate slaughter of American citizens was
apprehended:- An immense crowd of excited,
maddened, infuriated Americans assembled.
They woro;fireil.tit from the windows of the
brewery and thkhouses on Shelby street, and
in seeking to .arrest these offender l several
men were badl4wounded and the Incensed
and infuriated mob burned the brewery and
sacked the houses, from which the shots were
fired.
In the Bth Ward, the most serious distur
bances" occurred about 6 o'clock in the after
noon. A Mr. Rhodes, in-company with two
friends; all American
. oitizens, was quietly
passing up the Main street, near Chapel, when
they were set upon hya party of ten Irishmen,_
who with horrible oaths swore they would
clean the streets of every American. Fifteen
shots were fired upon them.
Rhodes was killed, and both his companions
ihiset fvr= fly ~nmili~ (circle.

badly 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 street, whence
several shots weretireiLlty.the inmates, by which
several American citizen were wounded . and
two were killed, a Mr. Grahan and a Mr. Hob
son.
The firing frofn this house continued some
half hour. The Irish were armed to the teeth
with fire-arms of every description, while the
Americana were almost entirely unarmed, and
were obliged to go to their homes to procure
arms- go defend themselves and their friends
from the murderous fire of the insane wretches
who had made this attack upon them. Be•
tween U and 7 o'clock a sufficient force had as
sembled to capture the murderer of young
Graham; an attempt wins made to hang. him,
but we learn that he is still living.
In the meantime a fusilado of shot guns
rifles was kept tip against any American pass
ing by the row of houses at the corner of
Eleventh and Main, beloning to an Irishman
named Quinn, a brother of Father Quinn, a
Roman Catholic Priest; several Americans
were wounded by shots fired from these pre•
lakes, and the attention of the crowd was
given to them.
They were filled with Irishmen, and with
loaded arms, as the sequel proved beyond a
doubt. An attempt was made to drive them
out, and the hotises were fired, whether on
the inside or outside, we do not knhw While
burning the frequent reports showed that they
were well provided with fire arms; and the
confessions of a poor miserable devil who was
rescued by Capt. Stone, proves that they were
well filled with arms and contained ... thirteen
kegs of powder provided for the occasion.—
The houses are still burning as we write, and
the riot is not yet subsided.
WC have neither space nor time to enter in
to any particulars. We will attempt to do so
tomorrow. A number of Americans were
slain by the foreigners, and a number of
foreigners met a heavy retribution. We do
not know how many have been killed, but
have already heard of some twelve or fifteen
in all, and some twenty or thirty have been
more or less dangerously wounded. We will
give details tomorrow.
15110 18 RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RIOT?
This is ,question which must be answered.
There is a tetrible responsibility somewhere,
and the proper parties, let them be who they
may, must bear it. One thing at least is now
known. The foreigners in this city, more es
pecially the Catholic Irish, from some cause
and at some instigation,',were armed to the
teeth, and used their arms, from houses, be
hind harriers, and from their skulking places
have shot down remorselessly unolfending citi
zens as they passed in the streets.
TILE PRESIDE:44'IAND GOV. REEDER.—Wrteli
ington, Saturday Aug. 4.—Tho story goes that
after some two or three weeks consultation
between Gov. Reeder and the President upon
the affairs of Kansas, the nature of which is
guessed at and whispered here among the
knowing ones, but the result of which certain
ly was that the President refused to issue any
proclamation, or do any act for the protection
of Kansas, the Governor left for home.—
Meanwhile ' the troubles in the Cabinet in
creased, and the President, anxious to please
General Davis on the one hand, and afraid of
the North on the other, determined to make
another appeal to Gov. Reeder's magnanimity,
and sent a confidential agent, usually employ
ed by him on such occasions, to call on a
special and intimate friend of the Governor,
then in the city, who represented in most
lugubrious tones that the President was exceed
ingly embarrassed and perplexed in regard to
Kansas, that it gave him infinite difficulty and
trouble, and that he really thought Governor
Reeder ought to relieve him from his trouble
by resigning the office.
The friend, who perfectly understood whence
this came and what was expected of him, at
once communicated it to the Governor at
Easton, who as promptly replied "that if Mr.
Pierce believed in resignation as a cure for
the difficulties and perplexities of an adminis
tration, ho might practice it himself; but as
for him (Gov. it.,) ho was no disciple of the
doctrine, and therefore could not be expected
to dot upon it." Tho reply was rather cool,
but not more so than the impertinence of fife,
message deserved, especially when it may bo
inferred that the Governor was not in a very
good humor after discovering by his. two
weeks' interview that the President was deter
mined to abandon his people to the tender .
mercies of the Missourians.
In a few 'days after this message was de
livered, the call upon Governor Reeder for ex
planation of the half breed land purchase
made its appearance,.and the unprecedented
course was adopted of publishing to the world
the accusation without first hearing the reply.
BREAM OF Pnomiss.—The Clarksville To
bacco Plant relates a somewhat amusing ease
of breach ,of promise of marriage. Squire
John Bradsher, of Person county, N. C., had
been a widower for only a few, months. Ho
was seventy years of age, bat, began courting
bliss• Franky Lea, a'lady of 67, , who poisessed
the attractive dowry of $12,000. He was ac
cepted, and a day for the marriage fixed; but
a younger suitor (Mr. Johnson, the same ago
of the lady herself) sent word by a neighbor
that.she might have him Woke •oltose. She
consented, and they were secretly marrio and
hour before the ceremony which was to make
Squire Bradsher a happier man' was to come
oil; Hiladsher threatens legal process.
A despatch from St. Louis • says that •the
appointment of Dawson, as Governor of Kan
sas, is unsatisfactory to the' Missouri mob.—
They are getting up petitions for the appoint
ment of a more compliant instrument. The
steamship Baltic arrived at New York yes

destroyed fourteen dwelling houses. A large
factory at Stamford, Ct., - was destroyed by
fire on Wednesday, with all its contents In
surance, 440,000. Last week, the number of
deaths in New Orleans numbered 336, of
which no less than 223 were caused by yel
low 'iever. At Portsmouth, Va , there is no
abatement of the yellow fever, which has also
spread through various parts of Norfolk. The
Native Americans of Ohio, dissatisfied with
the nomination of Chase for Governor, have

their candidate for that office Ex-Governor
Allen Trimble. Advices from Kentucky say,
that in f' counties, Morehead, K. N. for Gov
ernor, gains 15000 over Scott's vote in 1852.
To Congress, six Americans and' two Demo
crats elected, and two others are in doubt.—
Both branches of the Legislature are largely
American.
Returns of the Alabama election show that
Geo. Shortbridge, K. N., is elected Governor,
and that James F. Dowdell, Dem., is elteted

by the Emperor for their reception.
TILE WILLIAMSON SLAVE CASE.—An appli
cation has been made to Judgo Lewis for a
writ, of habeas corpus, to release Williamson
from the possession pf the U.. S. Marshal.—
Judge Lewis declined to order the writ on the
ground that every judicial tribunal is compe
tent to judge of cases of contempt, and that it
would create a conflict of jurisdiction for ono
court to review the the. oases of another court
In an affidavit of Jane, one of the slaves,
made at New York; she states that she volun•
tar* left the service of Wheeler, and, if 'she
is to be.believed, she was. not abducted ly
Williamson nor in, his. possession. She` left
the boat according to her previous determina
tion, but sooner than she intended."
In the opinion of entinent jurists, William
son has been falsely imprisoned by Judge
Kano. Bad the return of the habeas, corpus
been untrue, it did not constitute a contempt,
but when we have every reason to believe it
to be true, the enormity of the imprison
ment of Williamson is wholly without justifica
tion. •

FOREIGN NEWS.
We extract from a recent letter of the
Dublin correspondent of the Philadelphia
American, the following account of an
frishNModel Farm School. As the estab
lishment of such a
_school has been de
termined upon by the officers of the State
Agricultural society of Pennsylvania, and
•
as the matter of securing its location in
Cumberland county has been agitated,
our readers will be warmly interested in
the description. It will enable them to
form a correct idea of the design and
practical operations of such an institution,
and they will perceive that its advantages
will not be confined to pupils' alone but
will be shared, as a source of agricultural
instruction, by the farming community
.at large.
*NO. 50.
6' Yesterday his excellency drove to the Na
tional Agr:cultural Training Institute, more
generally known as the Model Farm. This
institution which was established by the Com
ini*oners of National Education in-hot - Ad
in the year 183 S, is designed to supply such
instruction both in the science nod practice of
agriculture, as is requisite to qualify young
men for discharging the important duties of
teachers of agriculture, land stewards, far
mers, &c. With this view the pupils, seven
ty-five in number, are instructed alternately
in theoretical and practical husbandry, while
their literary touching. which; in addition to
all the branches constituting-a sound English
education, embraces all matters relating to, or
flint may be useful in, the performance of
farm operations, is cultivated to a point sur
passing by many degrees anything of the
kind to be met with in ordinary schools. 'The
boys are all trained to habits of order and
neatness, whilst their moral character is sub
jected to .the most rigid scrutiny even for
some time after they have quitted the institu
tion. The ,buiWings, which were completed
in 1853-4) Com Oise an extensive dining hall,
lecture and school room, museum, library, and
laboratory, 'with appartments for the staff of
resident officers, the upper apartments being
devoted to the range of dormitories, which
are upon a scale fully equalling, if not supe •
rior to any sitter institution in point cf ar
rangements, whilst the scenic panorama visi
ble from the windows, is probably not ex
celled in point of grandeur and varied combi
nations by the far tamed beauties of Killarney.
The firm contains 185 statute acres, upon the
separate divisions of which, with a view of
exemplifying the most approved systems of
culture, various rotations of cropping are fol
lowed; while in the comprehensive range of
farm offices, the process of house•feeding cat
tle is pursued both in winter end summer.—
The completeness of the machinery attached
to this department affords a fair idea of the
ierfeetion visible in every other quarter of
' his truly model form ; for by the medium of
the steam power, the straw is chopped• and
cooked for the cattle, turnips are washed and
:sliced, liquid manure forced through pipes to
Abe moat distant portion of the grounds, and
every, requisite operation, including the churn
ing in the dairy, performed with marvelous
rapidity and ease in and about the buildings.
The entire work of the farm is performed by
the pupils ;,but in order that they may be
made practically acquainted with the most ap
proved appliances of steam power, theY have
been granted the use of a very select collec
tion of farm implements, which, while afford
ing great assistance in the cultivation and
permananent improvement of the soil, are also
of much value in economizing labor. The
distribution of the liquid manure is among the
most remarkable of these appliances. Two
large tanks, placed under ground, receive the
droppings from the cattle sheds and the water
from the lavatories, which, when thus collec
ted, form a valuable admixture; and this
liquid being forced in pipes to a certain dis
tance, is then conducted by a hose to the pre
cise portion of grounds to which it is to be
applied, and a top dressing of guano having
been lightly shaken over the surface, it is
then washed into the bosom of the earth by
this fluid manure. So wonderful are the ef
fects of this systepa T which can,
of .course,
only be imitated on a large scale—that two
cuttings of grass have been already obtained
this year in the same field, and it is confident.
ly anticipated that there will be, at least,
three more before the end of the season. It
having been found highly desirable in practice
that the pupils should, in addition to a knowl
edge of husbandry, be, to a certain extent,
proficient in horticulture, additional sessional
lectures upon botany are now delivered, and
the gardens and greenhouse are entrusted to
a gardener of long practical experience."
.• A- CONTENTED EATIMER.-WO are glad to
record an anecdote apparently authentic, of a
farmer contented with his crop. The Cincin
nati Commercial of last Monday, after stating
that a friend who had recently returned from
a tour through Northern and Southern DIM
ois, confirms all the previous accounts of
the vast grain crops now on the ground and
being gathered in that country adds the fol
