Bank Notes--Payment.

Judge Este of the Superior Court in this city has decided at the late term of his Court yet in progress: "that the receipt of bank notes as money, is not a legal but a conventional arrangement: that the law is well settled that when bank notes are taken as money, or in payment of an antecedent debt, the risk of insolvency is upon the party from whom the bills or notes are received, even when both parties are alike ignorant in regard to the solvency of the bank whose notes are passed, unless there is an agreement that the party who received the notes takes them at his own risk." In case of such payment without special agreement, and the bank is found to have been insolvent when the notes were passed, the party may return them and recover on the original cause of action or for money had and received.-Cincinnati Gaz.

backed by boat hands of the lowest and most violent order. They advanced to the attack with stones, &c., &c., and were repeatedly fired upon by the negroes. The mob scattered, but immediately rallied again, and again were in like manner repulsed. Men were wounded on both sides, and carried off-and many reported dead. The negroes rallied several times, advanced upon the crowd, and most unjustifiably fired down the street into it, causing a great rush down the street. These things were repeated until past 1 o'clock, when a party procured an iron six pounder from near the river, loaded with boiler punchings, &c., and hauled it to the ground, against the exhortations of the Mayor and others. It was posted on Broadway and pointed down Sixth street. The yells continued, but there was a partial cessation of the firing. Many of the negroes had fled to the hills. The attack upon houses was recommenced, with the firing of guns, on both sides, which continued during most of the night-and exaggerated rumors of the killed and wounded, filled the streets. The cannon was discharged several times.

From the Cincinnati Daily Gazette, September 6. Riot and Loss of Life at Cincinnati. This city has been in a most alarming condition for several days-and from about 8 o'clock on Friday evening until about three o'clock yesterday morning, almost entirely at the mercy of a lawless mob, ranging in number, from two to fifteen hundred. Amidst the confusion of such a state of things, it is almost impossible to collect a full or accurate state of facts. But with deep regret, and acknowledged humiliation, we detail what has happened as well as we can. On Tuesday evening last, as we are informed, a quarrel took place near the corner of Sixth street and Broadway, between a party of Irishmen, and some negroes, in which blows were exchanged, and other weapons, if not fire arms, used. Some two or three of each party were wounded. On Wednesday night the quarrel was renewed in some way, and sometime after midnight, a party of excited men armed with clubs, &c., attacked a house occupied as a negro boardinghouse on Macalester street, demanding the surrender of a About 2 o'clock, a portion of the military upon the call negro, whom they said had fled into the house, and was there of the Mayor, proceeded in keeping the mob at bay. In the secreted, and uttering the most violent threats against the morning and throughout the day, several blocks, including house, and the negroes in general. Several of the adjoining the battle ground, were surrounded by sentinels, and kept houses were occupied by negro families, including a number under martial law-keeping within, the negroes there, and of women and children. The violence increased and was adding to them such as were brought during the day, who resisted by those in or about the houses-an engagement were seized without particular charge, by parties who scourtook place, in which several were wounded on each side-ed the city, assuming the authority of the law. and some say guns or pistols were discharged from the house. Some gentlemen in the neighborhood, interfered and succeeded in restoring quiet after about three-fourths of an hour, when a watchman appeared. But it is singular, that this violent street disturbance, elicited no report to the Mayor, nor arrest indeed that the Mayor remained ignorant of the affair, until late in the day, when he casually heard of it.

On Thursday night another rencontre took place in the neighborhood of the Lower Market, between some young men and boys, and some negroes, in which one or two of the boys were badly wounded, as was supposed, with knives -how the negroes fared, we did not learn.

On Friday, during the day, there was considerable excitement. Threats of violence and lawless outbreak were indicated in various ways and came to the ear of the police, and of the negroes. Attacks were expected upon the negro residences in Macalester, Sixth and New streets. The negroes armed themselves, and the knowledge of this increased the excitement. But we do not know that it produced any known measure of precaution on the part of the police, to preserve the peace of the city.

Before eight o'clock in the evening, a mob, the principal organization of which, we understand was arranged in Kentucky, openly assembled in Fifth Street Market, unmolested by the police or citizens. The number of this mob, as they deliberately marched from their rendezvous towards Broadway and Sixth streets, is variously estimated, but the number increased as they progressed. They were armed with clubs, stones, &c. &c.

A meeting of citizens was held at the Court House on Saturday morning, at which the Mayor presided. This meeting was addressed by the Mayor, Judge Read, Mr. Piatt, Sheriff Avery and Mr. Hart. They resolved to observe the law, to discountenance mobs-invoked the aid of the civil authorities to stay the violence—and pledged themselves to exertion in aid of the civil authority to arrest and place within reach of the law, the negroes who wounded the two white boys on Columbia street. That the Township Trustees should enforce the law of 1807, requiring security of negroes, and pledging themselves to enforce it to the letter, until the city, "is relieved of the effect of modern abolitionism, giving assurance to "our Southern brethren," to carry out that act in good faith"-and to deliver "up, under the law of Congress forthwith," every negro who escapes from his master and comes within our borders. They requested the Mayor, Sheriff and the civil authorities, to proceed at once to the dwellings of the blacks and disarm them of all offensive weapons-recommend search for offenders against the laws, immediate legal proceedings against them, and an efficient patrol to protect the persons and property of the blacks, during the existence of the present excitement, and until they give the bonds required by the act of 1807 or leave the city. They requested the parents and guardians of boys to keep them at home, or away from the scene of excitement. They "Resolved, That we view with abhorrence the proceedings of the Abolitionists in our city, and that we repudiate their doctrines, and believe it to be the duty of every good citizen by all lawful means to discountenance every man who lends them his assistance." These resolutions were reported by a committee composed by Messrs. J. W. Piatt, J. C. Avery, R. A. Madison, J. C. Vaughan, B. Storer, D. T. Disney, J. Read, J. Goodin, and N. W. Thomas, were adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor of the city, Col. Davies, as President of the meeting, and Edward Woodruff, President of the City Council, as their Secretary, printed in handbills, and posted in all parts of the

Reaching the scene of operations with shouts and blasphemous imprecations, they attacked a negro confectionary house on Broadway, next to the Synagogue, and demolished the doors and windows. This attracted an immense crowd. Savage yells were uttered to encourage the mob onward to the general attack upon the negroes. About this time, before 9 o'clock, J. W. Piatt, in a way highly creditable to himself, addressed the mob, exhorting them to peace and obedience to law, and to retire without further violence.-city. His voice was drowned by the violent shouts of the mob, and the throwing of stones. At this time, we verily believe, a determined corps of fifty or one hundred men, would have dispersed the crowd. The Mayor came up and addressed the people, in a very proper way. The savage yell was instantly raised. "Down with him!"-" run him off!"were shouted and intermixed with horrid imprecations and exhortations to the mob to move onward. We took some pains to ascertain who these leading disturbers of the peace were, and think a large portion of the leaders, and the most violent, came from other parts-were strangers-some were said to be connected with river navigation and were strongly

The City Council also held a special session, and passed resolutions invoking the united exertions of orderly citizens to the aid of the authorities-to put down the violent commotion existing in the city, to preserve order and vindicate the law against the violence of an excited and lawless mob -requesting all officers, watchmen, and firemen to unite for the arrest of all rioters and violators of law, and the Marshal to increase his deputies to any number required, not exceeding five hundred, to preserve life and protect property-requiring the Mayor and Marshal to call in the aid of the county militia to preserve order, and the Captain of the Watch to increase his force. These proceedings were post

ed in handbills. Intense excitement continued during the day, the mob and their leaders boldly occupying the streets without arrest, or any effort to arrest any of them, that we have heard of.

four hours, trampling all law and authority under foot. We feel this degradation deeply- but so it is. It is impossible to learn the precise number killed and wounded, either of whites, or among the negroes, probably several were killed on both sides, and some twenty or thirty variously wounded, though but few dangerously. Several of the citizen police were hurt with stones and brick bats, which were thrown into the crowd by the mob. The authorities succeeded in arresting and securing about forty of the mob, who are now in prison-others were arrested, but were rescued or made their escape otherwise. We have attempted a plain general narrative of these disgraceful proceedings-have endeavored to be accurate in our facts, and to narrate them in their order of occurrence without coloring or distortion. Such a narra tive, at this time, we thought necessary to check the exaggerated rumors which have doubtless spread in all directions. Many of these transactions occurred under our own observation, during Friday night, and the evening and night of Saturday.

The negroes held a meeting in a church, and respectfully assured the Mayor and the citizens that they would use every effort to conduct as orderly, industrious, and peaceable people, to supress any imprudent conduct among their population and to ferret out all violation of order and law-deprecated the practice of carrying about their person any dangerous weapon, pledged themselves not to carry or keep any about their persons or houses, and expressed their readiness to surrender all such. They expressed their readiness to conform to the law of 1807, and give bond, or to leave within a specified time-and tendered their thanks to the Mayor, watch, officers and gentlemen of the city, for the efforts made to save their property, their lives, their wives and children. At 3 P. M. the Mayor, Sheriff, Marshal and a portion of the police, proceeded to the battle ground, and there under the protection of the military, though in the presence of the mob, and so far controlled by them, as to prevent the taking away of any negroes, upon their complying with the law.-Several negroes gave bond, and obtained the permission of the authorities to go away with their sureties, some of our most respectable citizens, but were headed, even within the military sentinels, and compelled to return within the ground. It was resolved, to embody the male negroes, and march them to jail for security, under the protection of military and civil authority. From 250 to 300 negroes, including sound and maimed, were with some difficulty marched off to the jail, surrounded by the military and officers; and a dense mass of men, women, and boys, confounding all distinction between the orderly and disorderly, accompanied with deaf-led on, by persons from Kentucky. They declared they had ening yells. They were safely lodged, and still remain in prison, separated from their families. The crowd was in that way dispersed.

Some then supposed we should have a quiet night-but others more observing, discovered that the lawless mob had determined on further violence, to be enacted immediately after night fall. Citizens disposed to aid the authorities were invited to assemble, enroll themselves, and organize for action. The military were ordered out, firemen were out, clothed with authority as a police band. About 80 citizens enrolled themselves as assistants of the Marshal, and acted during the night under his directions, in connexion with Judge Torrence, who was selected by themselves. A portion of this force was mounted. A troop of horse, and several companies of volunteer infantry continued on duty until near midnight. Some were then discharged to sleep upon their arms. Others remained on duty till morning, guard

ing the jail, &c.

We see in these outrages much to deplore, and we see much which merits unqualified condemnation, which has been done, and omitted, during the violence of these lawless excesses. But it behoves all of us now to be calm and firm, to prevent another outbreak-to unite and draw out for the preservation of the public peace, all good citizens. Many have hitherto done little to stop this destructive violence, who should unite, and we still trust nearly all will yet unite, to restore the quiet of the city, and efficacy to the law.Hereafter, when the public mind is in condition to be resoned with we shall speak as we think upon this subject, offend whom it may.

The mob was in many cases encouraged, and in some,

been sent for, and that hundreds of others were organized and ready to come here to rid the city of the negroes and abolitionists. We ourselves heard, one of these, a respectable looking man, shouting to the mob to put down the Mayor and others.

About 11 o'clock, on Saturday night, a bonfire was lighted on the opposite side of the river, and loud shouts were sent up as if a great triumph had been achieved. Was it a rejoicing that a lawless mob had triumphed over law and good order in our city-that brute force had assumed the control of our affairs, and was then moving forward in its unchecked career of destruction? It is impossible, we think, that a feeling of triumph could have been indulged in by any well disposed citizen of our sister State. In some cases the motions of the mob were directed and managed by mere boys, who suggested the points of attack and the object, put the vote, declared the result and led the way! Think for a moment, of a band of white men-after all the negro men As was anticipated the mob, efficiently organized, early had been disarmed and committed to prison for safe-keeping, commenced operations, dividing their force and making at- under a solemn pledge that their wives and children, and tacks at different points, thus distracting the attention of the their women should be protected—and while these helpless police.

Several houses were broken open in different parts of the city, occupied by negroes, and the windows, doors and furniture totally destroyed.Among such is the Confectionary establishment, of Burnet near the upper market-a shop on Columbia near Sycamore Excitement continued during yesterday. The Council -the negro church on Sixth street, and four or five houses near it—a small frame near the synagogue on Broadway, and several houses on Western Row near the river. One of their last efforts was to fire or otherwise destroy the Book establishment of Messrs. Truman and Smith, on Main.From this they were driven by the police, and soon after, before day-light, dispersed from mere exhaustion.

our city of Cincinnati such a band was permitted to renew their brutal attacks upon these miserable creatures, in violation of the solemn pledge of the city and county authorities ! We cannot use terms too strong to mark the leaders and instigators of this mob-though we sincerely think there were many honest but misguided men engaged in it, who will themselves regret it most deeply.
