On Monday evening Sergeant GARLAND was detached from his com mand and sent to the Tenth Precinct Station to work the telegraph ; about 9 P. M. The building was assailed by a mob, who stoned in the windows ; they were fresh from the sacking and destruction of Provost Marshal DUFFY S house. There were but few men in the station, but Surgeon WELLS, and a number of citizens, came to the rescue, the former acting with great coolness and courage. Officer McCLouo found a small cannon in the building, ...which was hastily hauled into position at the door, pointed on to the mob, who, at sight of it, broke and scattered. On Tuesday morning Sergeant GARLAND was relieved as telegraph operator, and reported to Inspector DILKS at headquarters, by whom he was de tailed as acting adjutant of the battalion of police which the Inspector led to the Second Avenue, as already referred to. He was also in the sec ond expedition to the same section, under Mr. DILKS, and narrowly es caped the ball which came so near cutting off a good man and true in the Inspector, but cut off a tree branch at its bend against him instead.
