Wo find in the Washington papers full accounts of the riot In that city on Monday hftt. Tlio following it from the Star of Monday evening: * A gang of hired ruffians and bul'ics, " plug uglies," and other worthies from. Baltimore, have been imported by the know ( nothings to take violent possession of the , polls, and armed with revolvers, billies, and , slung*shots, to prevent our citizens from depositing their votes. In the first precinct of the Fourth ward this morning a general fight occurred, In which several hundred men and boys were engaged, indiscriminately. It seems that somo forty or fifty plug ugKes came down from Bnltimoie this mornw" lo assist our citixi-ns in the election to day. After floating around for some lime wjlhonl effecting anything of note, they pitched upon the Fourth ward first precinct, as being the n">?t eligible scene for their operations. A line of voters were ntanding in the slr< o extending for pome distance from the polls, and composed principally of anli know-nothing voters. Thp plugs, assisted by several large squads of chunkers and rip rsps of our city, endeavored lo break into ihi* line I I J. ? 1--- - - 1 uy cruwmr g, ?uv noi succeeuin;* rn mis they left the scenc of action to conceit more hostile measures. After n short time they relumed largely rcinforcod in numbers, and with revolvers, stones, billies, brickbats, ?fec , they made n concervd onslaught upon the voters. A terrible scene now ensued, in which the entire crowd participated. 8tones nnd pistols were rapidly discharged, and men were trampled to the eArih, beHten, stamped on, nnd severely Wounded. Among those injured was It. fj; Owens, Fourth Ward v uiiimmsii'iier. who iihii iiih wi'lh' naoiy j shattered by n pistol ball. A.

The buildings in the neighborhood were damaged, the doors and windows being broken in on all sides. In the bkirmish Mr. George D. Spencer received a severe blow in the face. At the first precinct of the Fourth Ward the officers did till in their power to prevent the riot, placing themselves between the belligeionts and the voteiH in the line, with Captain Ooddard at the head, whodemnnded the pence, when they rushed onenmaxse, <ti)d with an impetuosity which nothing short of a military force could have with- I stood ; and, although the poiice fought like I heroe, they were forced to abandon lite field , to the possesion of these hiied miscreants. |" O? . ?tnttwa vrcTV, "JIOOUV'TI i o'clock, good enough to pay r visit to tho Second Ward polls, wearing the know-noth* : ing ticket ns a badge, nnd shouting for " Dixon" as a rallying cry. In a few minutes their inevitnble revol- I vers were out, and some thirty or forty shots i , were liied, in quick succession, in the neighboihood of Eleventh-street and the avenue. ' In this nftrny a young mnn, residing on Thirteenth-street, between II nnd I, named ; John Ouzely, wns shot in the knee.

The plug uglie* seemed to think tlso Second Wind nir wnt getting inanlubri- j ous, nod they left in a bod)-, probably with , the design of "regulating" some of theoth- . er precincts. At noon it becamc evident that nothing i, short of military interposition could save the city from nlrnost universal iiot. A letter , was addressed by Mayor MagrurWr to the President of the United States, asking for a company ol maunes in order to maintain the pcuce of the city. The request was promptly complied wilh. We continue our extracts from the Star: Shortly after 1 o'clock, P. M.t the marines (two companies 110 in nil) arrived on the ground, first product of the Fourth Ward, under charge of Cnpt. Tyler, and accompanied by Mayor Magruder. The opposition had, in the meantime, procured n brans cannon, and Rfniinnorl it ai iU* Northern market-house, which they mnde their head quarters. After the Mayor had addressed the crowd, stating that the soldier* were brought there solely to m.untHin the public peace uf the ' city, which had b? en fhitfrHntly violated, the marines moved upon tlie market-house to take possession of the cannon, amidst every ppecies of taunt nnd opprobrium, ending finally in the posseseors of the cannon firing pistuis m me murines, The latter, however, moved steadily on, seized tbo ca'mion, end then, due waroipg having been given, replied lo ihe pistol shot* upon them by n volley of ball. The plug uglies then scattered, firing hots as ihcy did so from behind corners.
