The Suppression of Conspiracies

liz 0Op Vi SO1i0 CSN1Nkos
Itwas the custom of the Roman Senate,
when their Republic was seriously menaced
by treason or sedition, to pass stringent
decree directing the consuls to take care
that the Republic suffered no harm," invest.
ing them with absolute power. and suspepd-
ing al thu ordinary forms of law, till the
danger was over. On several critical occa-
sons the triumph of the nation over its inter-
nal foes was attributable solely to the exer-
else of authority of this character. Unfor,E-
nateIy we have fallen upon evil times. when
band OF Catilines are seeking t5s dest:uc-
ton Of the noblest Government that was ever
devised bv the wit Of mar and when those
who are secretly in league with the traitors
are to be found not only in the ranks of the
insurgent armies, and in the seeded States,
but thronging cur capital, and seeking IN
loyal communities to undermine the senti
mept of devotion to the Union which forms q
part Of the character Of every true American.
That the nefarious designs Of shese conspiras
tors may be successfully eombated is the
prayer of every good cilizsn, and those who
complain loudest Of the energy which the
Administration is now displaying in unmask-
ing and preventing the Vaccinations of trail
tors, care least for he perpetnity of the Re-
public and sympathize most deeply with its
implicable foes. Those who are truly loyal
can see no special cause for grief in the arr
rest of men who are industriously plotting
the downfall of our nation, or the suppress
ion of journals which delight in giving aid
and comfort to the enemy. They expect the
National Government to take care that the
Republic suffers no harm," and in view Of
all the dangers by which it is surrounded
they are ready to applaud all reasonable
and necessary steps it may adopt to deprive
the allies of Secession in the North and the
insurgent armies in the South of their pow
er to iniure the national cause.
Cicero, in his fret oration against Catiline,
referring to the sympathizsrs with that infa
nous conspirator who thropged the streets
of Rome, and the necessity that the friends
and foes of the nation should be strictly
known said, " let it in short, be written on
the brow of evsry citizen, what are his SEN
timents about the Republic" 1t is equally
desirable that the friends and enemies of the
nation among us should be pointed OUT
There is 10 ordinary partisan question to be
discussed and DO ground for neutrality
Men have only 10 decide whether they are
for or against the Government which protects
them whether they will side with the patri'
OTIS or the traitors in the existing war.

RAILROAD MASSACRE.
Over One Hundred Troops Killed
and Wounded,
C1Nc1kNATTL Sept. 18.

CINCINNATI, Sept. l8
Last light about eight o'clock, a train on the
Ohio and Missippi Railroad, containing portion
of Col. Torchin's Nineteeth Illinois Regiment,
while passing over bridge near Huron, Indiana.
143 miles west of Cincinnati, fell through, killing
and wounding over 100 soldiers The news reach
ed here late last night, when a special train was
despatch ed to the assistance of the survivors.
The following despatch has been received from
the operator at Hudson, dated ten minutes after
one O'Clock this morning. " The bridge No, IS
was broken in two. 1t let four cars down into
the bed of the creek, and one fell on the top of
them. The engine and one car passed over safe
ly. There are about 100 wounded and 10 or Is
killed. The Colonel of the regiment says there
are about that number killed, although nearly all
of one company are missing" 1t is thought the
bridge wa3 weakened by malicious persons.
CINCINNATI Sept 1S.-The disaster on the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad proves worse than at
first reported. Four passenger cars were precip-
itated into the creek, and enc box and one bag
gage car fell on top of them. These cars contain
aimed companies E, F, G and 1, and the latter
two companies are the principal sufferers. Capt.
Howard, of company I, is among the killed. Up
to eleven o'clock this morning about thirty killed
had been taken out, and more are supposed to be
beneath the wreck. A train is on the way here
with ninety-two wounded, The impression at the
scene is that there have been from forty to fifty
killed, There seems to be but little doubt that the
bridge had been tampered with by malicious or
traitorous persons. The bridge was sixty feet
span snd ten feet nigh, and was only recently in
spected.

lasted about an hour the rebels whom he held as

to allow one of their number to go with flag

back soon afterwards with the request to know TO
