The Southern Monitor.
This is ihe title of a new journal published
at Philadelphia, by J. B. Jones, Ei*j.
Its aim and objects can be best understood i
by reading the following extract from the
Salutatory :
wHiiherto the Southern Stntes have had
no voice in the Norlh, and hence they have j
been misapprehended and misrepresented, i
and often condemned by good men, whoso
sympathies might have taken a different direoiion
if they had received proper information
from authentic source*. Believing
this to be the oase, and being encouraged
And endorsed by many of the leading men
in tho South, we have determined tonn.
Wartlike the establishment of a Southern
Organ "fn Philadelphia, whose purposes
shall be altogether constitutional, whilst its
defence of Southern rights and Southern
institutions will be Arm and uncompromising."
It is a largo weekly?terms, $2 a year.
TheSouthern people should support it hand

The Biot in Washington- ?
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

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. Kl -pfi-r re- J
cei*'?d a ?p<*nt bsiii in bis forehead, which
Muiivd him but inflated no serious injury.

Several of llie ringleaders were arrested '
and tuken to the guard-house; amongst
others, n young nian by the name of Johnson.
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. About i
this timo some of the " Solid men" of the
ward were Been emerging from their resi- |
dences armed with muskets, ns if they had i
some notice of joiner upon a crunnincr exDe- !
dition. 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.
After the smoke cleared Awny, the terrible
tight was presented of four or fire persons
to the Agonies of death, And neveral
others fearfully wounded.
