ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPArcH.l

WASHINGTON, d. G., Junel.
Dear Dispatch: at the risk Of the halter, if
am diseov cred, and with the hope of open
ing the eyes of our people to the hellish plots
soon 10 be attempted against them, write
this hurried scrap. Scarcely train reach
here that is not filled with Hes
SLAMS for the subjngation CT the South; and
sooner is one regiment landed here than
another Is pushed of to Alexandria,, to make
up the great invading column soon to move
against Manassas Junction and Harper's
Ferry, the great key 10 the Southern heart.
l am informed by distinguished Black
Reput lcin Senator that the grand attack
is 10 be made by forty thousand picked
men, and the Lincolnites, little knowing
the courage of our own gallant men, who
are fighting for their homes and their fire.
sides expect, by the aid of the traitor, Scott,
to oyerrnn and suhjugate US with very little
loss. Judging from what l have seen here,
their number, multiplied by ten, Will hardly
be able to carry out their designs for more
miserable, ignorant, brutal looking nero L
have never seen together than are the armies
with which Scott hopes to crush out his own
native State. Let our leaders be prepared for
them at all points and We have nothing to fear
While standing in Wizards Hotel last
night, a small party of men gathered near me,
and engaging in earnest conversation, heard
one of them say to another, 4" JEFF. Davis, the
rebel leader, is soon to be cared for" l have
Just seen with my own eyes the gen tleman
who has sworn 10 take his life at any cost;
aud he will do it, His plan is TO get Il letter
ist here 10 President Davis /; then TO visit him
At his rooms in your city, and ask for a private
friendly in ter view; and then, under the guise
of friendship, topiunge dagger to his heart,
regardless of the consequences That there
| is plan foot here for the murder of the
Southern President, have not Il shadow OF q
| doubt.
! From all l can learn here, am satisfied
that the au liberties In your ctty, and through
| out Virginia, are entirely too liberal with
| their passes for foreigners and strangers. -
Scarcely hour passes that some fresh arri
| val from the South is not announced to tn.
| Lineolnites of this place, many Of them hay
Manassas Junction, Acquia Greek, and aioni
| the York ana Potomac rivers, and many o
| them being able to give the number OF sol
diers at each point. the strength of our bat
teries, the names of commanders, and tn
| most accessible routes by which to at
| tack them. Ii this liberality-this suicida
| looseness of management-is to continue
| the Consequences NAV be serious, befor
| we are aware of IL. Without presuming I
dictate to our leaders, may not be allowed I
| suggest to them the improperly of allowin
any others than our own soldiers to enter An
| of our encampments at any point ant
above all, TO permit no more Norther
| men, even with Southern principles,
90 into or TO leave the State, Deepen
| upon it, the Repu olicans have spies
| our midst, IN every capacity-even rs sol
| diers-and unless the strictest watch is KEEP
| and every avenue guarded, we may be sold
| our foes, or our cause seriously damaged
pretended friends. Yours, Sorrn.
