Monroe. The President processes much an
noyance at turning the guns of the fortress
inland. Mr.. Forney, of Baltimore, denied
all knowledge of a secret organization in
Maryland, to seize the capitol but asserted
that northern military companies, attempt
ing to pass through Maryland to the inau-
guration at Washington, would be stopped.

THE CONSPIRACY.

One of the witnesses before the House
committee on the Washington conspiracy.
testified on Friday that the scheme TO take
nossession of the capital and prevent the IN
auguration was contingent on the course OF
Virginia. If Virginia votes Tor secession.
he said, the attempt will be made, whatever
MARYLAND NAV do. Gen. Scott is reported
TO be in favor of calling on the states tor vol
unteers to the number OF forty or sixty
thousand. but the president will not believe
there Is any occasion for it. The reason that
the committee obtains no more distinct evl-
dence in regard to the conspiracy is that Gen.
Scott and those in his confidence do not con-
slider it good policy TO disclose what they
know and thus put the consplrators on their
guard. One of Gen. SCOTS officers, close IN
bis confidence, replied to the questions Of the
committee, Gentlemen, | cannot answer
YOUR questions without violating private con-
fdence and doing great injustice to the pub
lie service" witness before the commit
tee testified to declaration, by Mayor Ber-
rett, that, if Maryland seeded he would
give I'D the city, so far as he was concerned.
A mounted battery of guns with 10 men
and horses left New York for Washington on
Friday. There are now at Washington three
batteries. consisting of eighty men and Sly
pieces each; four six-pOunders and two
twelve-pound howitzers. More companies
will arrive in a day or two, increasing the
total number within the limits of the city t

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE
are often rendered wretched by ailments which
are trifing in themselves and easily cured iftaken
in time. Affections Of the liver, stomach and
other organs concerned in digestion, are the most
frequent. They naturally make the sufferer ner
vous, irritable and complaining, and relatives and
friends are forced to bear the brunt of their i'll
humor The uso of Hostetters Celebrated Stomach
Bitters will prove efficient remedy for this evil.
It will not only strengthen the whole physical or
ganization, but entirely cure the NEST obstinate
cases of Indigestion, DiarrhGa, Dysentery, and
Liver Complaint. The first physicians in the
country are loud in their praise of this prepare

that it is SO palatable to the taste that it may be
used even as beverage.
