The GREAT EASTERN AND HER V1srrEas
The Great Eastern will start on her trial trim tn
Cape May on Monday, and the crowd of visitors
Is increasing every day as the time for her tenn
porary absence from the city approaches. On
to yesterday evening not less than It's 900 pee
pie had visited her since her arrival, and during
the two days yet to elapse before che leaves.
there will probably be thirty or forty thousand
more rambling over her decks. Out of tha
twenty thousand visiters yesterday. add the
seventeen thousand the day before, upwards Of
three-fourths were strangers, who came to the
city by excursion steamboats, and excursion
trains, and every possible conveyance. The
consequence is that our streets are thronsed
with people, the hotels, boarding houses, ana
even private dwellings are full and Broadway
is literally flooded with sunburnt gentlemen.
fresh from their farms and country stores, and
cheeks are radiant with the mingled tints of the
rose and the sunbeam
Not only are the hotels reaping golden bar
vest from this incursion of country folks, but the
Broadway stores and all the sightseeing insti-
tutions are gathering in q rich crop of cash.
When the monster ship returns from her
summer trip to one of our fashionable wa
tering places, which will be in few days, we
may expect to see the interest in her re-
newed, and the excursionists pouring into the
city again. In all probability not less than
quarter of a million of people will have been
on board of her before she takes her inal de-
parture from our waters and the directors will
have taken in the respectable sum of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
The REPoRrEp ABOLITION CoNspIRAcy IN
TExAs.-The telegraphic reports which we pub
lished yesterday Of the discovery Of an extern
sive abolition conspiracy in Northern Texas
are of very startling character, and if they
soon have a Southern sensation on the slavery
question fearful to contemplate.
The statement of this alleged conspiracy is to
the effect that white men, friends of the aboli-
ton preachers, Blunt and Mckinney, expelled
from Texas last year. are instigators of the plot;
that the plan was to lay the whole country
waste by FIRE, destroying all the arms and am
munision that the conspirators could Lay their
hands on, so as to get the country into state
of helpleesness, aud then on election day IN
August, to make general instruction, aided
by emissaries from the North and parties
friendly to the cause in Texas" 1t further sp-
pears that several white men and negroes con-
cerned in the plot had been arrested" Nume-
rous destructive Gres occurring simultaneously
in different parts of Northern Texas are charged
as the work of these confederate inceudiaries.
This is the story. We cannot believe il to be
wholly true. 1t may be founded upon facts.
An abolition incendiary or two, or some horse
thieves or marauding Indians, may be respou-
sible for some Of these late 6res; but IL we are
not mistaken, the ruinous drought, from which
Texas has been suffering for weeks and mouths
past will account for many of said disasters.
AT all events, it is to be hoped that such will
prove to be the case. With the outbreak of the
John Brown foray at Harpers Ferry, it was
supposed that he had body of five hundred
followers at his back; so, in this instance, the
facts are doubtless exaggerated. even If IL
should turn out that an abolition Conspiracy
has been at work. While awaiting further in
formation on the subject, we are disposed to at
tribute this startling programme Of q revolu-
tionary abolition conspiracy in Texas to o
panic brought about by more natural causee
than the overt acts Of general combination Of
vagabond abolitionists.
II is possible, however, that another gaag Of
John Brown abolition martyrs may have beea
at the bottom Of these mysterious and simulta-
neous hres. Should it so turn out theo ws
shall soon have new excitement thrown into
this Presidential canvass, which will make it
the hottest and the most terrible in the histow
Of the country. But, perhaps, TO the existing
political excitemens Of the day may be charged
as much of this Texas conspiracy as to any
other cause. We wait for further infoyrna-
ton.
