The Thirty Years Conspiracy.

When the history of the great rebellion Of
1Se0-6l comes to be written it will stand in
disputably proved that il was the result of a
long plotted, well-matured conspiracy-not
an uprising ST the people; not u revolution
to remove unredresseG wrongs; but foul
conspiracy.
Edward Everett, in private letter declares
his knowledge of the face that for thirty
years leading southern politicians had beeD
resolved to break up the Union, aud that the
slavery question was but pretext for keep
ing up agltaton and holding the South to
gether. Indeed MIR. Everett clears his
record by admitting that the knowledge Of
this fact was the secret of bis political course,
by which he had lost favor and influence at
home for the sake Of strengthening the hands
of patriotic Uoion men ut the South.
And we are informed of trustworthy
source, that one of the latest occupations of
the now deceased Senator Douglas Was the
partial preparation of pamphlet exposing,
from personal know ledge similar to thai
from which Mr.. Everett speaks, the secret
Vaccinations an1 public plans of this great
southern conspiracy. The mills of God
!" grind slowly, but they grind exceeding
I" small" It is this gigantic conspiracy now
actually running the South, which wouli fain
have ruined the Union. Rather than the
Union should perish, ''the mills OF God" will
grind to dust the institution for whose ag-
grandizsment, and the traitors by whose am
bition, its existence was perled.

IMPORTANT FROM THE SEAT OF WAR!
ADVANCE OF TROOPS
A FATAL MISTAKE.
FIRING UPON FRIENDS.
REPULsE or UNITED STATES TROOPS

BALTI MORE, June.-Ths has been an excl
ting aod sufrowfvI day at point Comfort.
Gen. Butler having learned that the rebels
were forming an entrenched camp with bats
teries Great Bethel, and he deemed it neces>
AIRY to dispace them. Accordingly move-
ments were made from Fortress Monroe and
Newport News.
AT mldnight Col. Duryea's Zouaves and
Col. Townsend Albany Regiment crossed
the river at Hampton and took up their line
of March The former were some two miles
in the advance of the latter
At the same time, Col Benedix's regiment
and detachment of the Vermont and Mass
al husets regiments moved forward to form a
Junction with the regiments from the Fortress
at Little Bethel. about half way between
Hampton and Great Bethel.
The Zluaves passed Little Bethel at about.
4 clock A, NJ. Bensdixs Regiment arrived
next and took position at The intersection OF
the roads. Not understanding the signal,
the Zauave regiment in the darkness of the
morning fired upop Col. Townsend's column
marching in CLOSE order and led by Lieut. But
Ter, son Of Gen. Bat!sr.
! Other accounts say that Tnwnsend's men
fred first. Atall eyents the fire of the AL
bany Regiment was harmless while that Of
the Germans was fatal killing one man and
fatally wounding two o, hers.
The Albany Regiment being back, the
Germans discovered By the accoutrements
left on the field that the supposed enemy was
friend. They had in the mean time fired
niue rounds with small arms and field
piece. The Zluaves hearing the fire, turned
and fred also upon the Albany boys.
At day break Col. Aliens and Col. Carr's
Regiments moved from the rear of the for
tress to support the main body. The mistake
at Little Bethel having been ascertained, the
buildings were burned, and a Major with two
prominent Sets -ionists. named Livery and
Whiting, made prisoners.
The troops then advanced Upon Great
Bethel in the following order: the Zouavss
Col, Bender, Lieut.. Col. Washburne, Col
Allen and Col. Carr. At that point our reg
iments formed and succesively endeavored to
take large masked battery of the Seces-
| sionists.
The effort was futile, our three snail
pieces Of artillery not being able to cope with
the heavy rified cannon of the enemy, accor
ding TO some accounts thirty 10 NUN her.
The rebel battery was so completely mask.
ed that no men could be seen. but the flashes
of the guns only. There were probably less
than 1000 men behind the battery of The reb
els.
A well concerted movement might have
secured the position but Brig. Gen. Pierce,
VIII, ,mmanded the expedition, seemed to
nave lost bis presence of mind, and The Troy
Regiment stood an hour exposed TO calling
fire. An order TO retreat was at length giv-
en-. bat at that moment Lieut.. Gerble, of the
Q. S. Army, and in command of the Artil-
lery. was struck by cannon ball and in
stantly killed lie had spiked his gun and
was galiantly endsavoring to withdraw his
commend.
There are probably 25 killed and 100
wounded. They brought them to the for
lress this evening.

g Democrats" in the Army.

We ftel rather gratified, says the Chester
county Times. at seeing the secession papers
claim that there are more Democrats 10 the
ranks from this State than Repu blicans. We
are inclined to admit the claim We are the
more inclined to do SO because it proves Int
we have often stated, to be true, viz: that
the great mass of the men voting with that
party, were honest and loyal and would vote
tor the best interest of their country if they
were not misled by crafty politicians. These
same leaders meant to carry them all over to
secession and seize the government by their
aid and holi it. A Rufisr-he who fred
the first gun at Sumpter-irustraied the plot.
The booming of that cannon emaocipated
million of Democrats" who had been slaves
to party. The good old flag was attacked =
They saw at glance, that what Republicans
had been telling them for years, was true
They saw then for certainty that there
were traitors in their camp. The government
was in danger-in danger so real that no
POLITICAL sopnlstry could hide it. With one
impulse like Simpsons they burst the ties of
party, and rushing by and over their leaders,
they flew to arms as one man, knowing no
party bat our country and its defense The
miserable secession demagogues were appalled,
by the sublimly OF the movement. They
were overwhelmed by the mighty wave of
patriotism which they had peen attempting
to dam up for years. They must mount the
wave and be carried on, stand aside, or be
borne down. The Democratic masses moved,
and the leaders VIII stood back are now the
despised of all parties and all sections They
deceived the South by falsely promising to
make traitors of honest Democrats, and they
deceived the Democratic voters at home by
denying the charges made by the Republi--
cans. The consequence is there are now but
two parties, one-as the Republican party
always has been for the maintanahce of the
Constitution and the laws and those who
rebel against the laws and would dstroy the
government. The great party is the Union
parry. the lesser party is the Tory parry
Happily this latter is now to small to be
considered in this part of the country. Here
we are unit.

The Rule of Demagogues Ended.

Heaven preserve US from becoming DEM
agngse. Of all classes Of men we despise the
demagogue the most. He is curse to the
community in which he lives. He will sac
riice everything for the benefit of self and to
advance the interests of the party that will
aid him to position or Office. Principle
and the best interests of the country weigh
nothing in the balance where he has an end
to accomplish or selfish purpose to serve.
lie will sacrifice principle for self, and the
country for party. We loathe and despise
him.
And yet, alas it has been this class of
men who have obtained prom inence, and cons
trolled the affairs OF this Government for
years. Behold the result! The Government
ere the masses dreamed Of real danger, was
brought to she very verge of destruction and
utter ruin. So desperate was the condition
of affairs that all the loyalty and all the pa
triOtism of the brave hearts and strong arms
of the people became necessary TO c0unteract
the devilish work Of the demagogues, and
save the Government from the terrible fate
planned for it by those unprlncipled YAM
pires.
Thank God it is n OF yet to late. The 2eo-
pie have been aroused in time to save the
country. The rule Of the demagogues is at
an end. The Government is new il the
hands of men who regard principle more
than self, and estimate country as superior
