DIABOLICAiI.

Every day adds to the evidence Of the
atrocious, internal nature of the conspi-
racy which existed in Buchanan's Cabi-
net to humiliate the North and destroy
the Government, rather than let it pass
into the hands of the new Administra-
ton.
While Floyd, the Southern Secretary
of War, was disarming the North and
placing the Forts, Arsenals, Arms and
Munitions of war in the reach of the reb-
els, and SO distributing the army as to
render it unavailable, Toucey, the North
ern Secretary Of the Navy, was playing
the same treacherous game with that
arm of the service Our vessels of war
were sent into the most distant seas,
where some Of them have not yet been
found SO as to be out of the way when
the blow should be struck.
But of all the acts of peridy and out
rage, none were equal to the plotted
murder--for it is nothing less-of four
hundred brave and loyal men, by this
deeply dyed traitor. There was an old
''unseaworthy tub" called the Lcrant,
which was unfit for service Into this
man-trap, the traitor, Touccy, against
their protest, and the protest of members
of Congress, forced four hundred Of the
choice Northern officers and men,
and sent her on a long and objectless
cruise, from which, as was no doubt de-
signed, she never returned. One Of the
leading Eastern papers speaks Of the
transaction, and the men, in the follow
ing language:
at is due to the memory Of the four
hundred officers and seamen who have
undoubtedly perished in the "unsea-
worthy tub into which they were forced
against their own protestations and that
Of members of Congress, to let the pub
lie know the facts. The Lcuant had
long been considered one Of the most
unsaf, vessels in the United States ser
vice, and yet Mr.. Secretary Toucey filled
her with some of the best and most re-
liable men in the Navy, all from The
North, and ordered her on a long and
dangerous cruise, without any special
aim or object, unless it was to aid and
comfort the Southern treason. He, nc
dou'st, calculated if the shi p returned at
all, she could not possibly do so until
the traitors, as he hoped, would have
possessed themselves Of the Government
and if peradventure she could be lost, sc
much the better, she would go dowr
filled with loyal Northern men. Tthe Of
fccrs, as we know, are among the mos
capable and promising in the service.

And although of the twelve years which
he had been in the Navy, he had beer

In the next reorganization of parties,
the name of 'Bridge Burners will be
appropriate to very large one.
When the Ohio troops routed the
rebels at Phillippi, in Virginia, they
captured Col. Wiley, Of the Secession
forces, and found upon him various
papers Of a reasonable character, among
which is letter from Gov. Letcher to
the officer in command at Grafton, in
structing him to make a descent upon
Wheeling, and obstruct in every way in
his power the passage of the United
States troops over the Baltimore q Ohio
Pailroad Writing to Col. Poterfeld,
from Richmond, under date Of the 25th
Of May, Governor Lctcher says:
when you get matters in proper
condition at Grafton, Ike the train some
night, run up to Wheeling, and seize
and carry away the arms recently sent
to that place by Cameron, the U. s.
Secretary Of war, and use them in armlng
such men as may rally to your camp
Recover the State arms also recently
seized by the malcontents at Kingw
1t is advisable to cut off telegraphic
communication between Wheeling and
Washington, so that the disaffected at
the former place cannot communicate
with their allies at headquarters. Es-
tablish perfect control over the tele-
graph, (if kept up,) SO that no dispatch
can pass without your knowledge and
inspection before it is sent. If troops
from Ohio and Pennsylvania shall at
tempt to pass on the railroad, do not
hesitate to obstruct their passage by all
means in your power, EVEN TO THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE ROAD AND
BRIDGES. Having confidence in your
discretion, am sure you will manage all
things wisely and we'll"
Acting on these instructions, Potter
field wrote to Col Wiley to take the
next train and destroy the bridges as FIR
accst US possible Wiley accomplished
the work directed, but as he is now a
prisoner in the hands Of the United
States authorities, he will very probably
be made to pay dearly for his action in
the premises.
The rival condidates Of the party of
Bridge Burners, will doubtless be Gov.
Letcher, of Virginia, and Gov. jackson
of Missouri, Provided they are not
caught and hung before the next election.

These propositions explicitly express
all authority, responsibility or account
ability exercised in, by, for or about
Camp Dennison by the Executive of
Ohio, and his Military Staff. Governor
Dennison has not, nor never had author
ity even to issue pass to any person
wishing to visit that camp, consequently
when, according to IN. H." the General
Government undertakes TO sever Gov
ernor Dennison's connection herewith,
and give General Mcclellan the respon-
sibiiity, the Government will undertake
to sever what never existed, and will
give General Mcclellan what, from the
hour Camp Dennison, even in name, ex-
listed, he has always had-frst through
/ Brigadier General J. d. Cox, and after
the breaking up Of Camp Harrison,
through Brigadier General j. Ii. Bates.
1t is as unjust to hold Governor Den
nison responsible for the care, manage
ment or control Of Camp Dennison, or
for the payment Of troops there, or at
Washington, as it would be to hold
him responsible for the military drill
and good behavior of the troops under
General Lyon, in Missouri, or under
General Butler, in Virginia.

when I declare that Governor Dennison
has manifested earnest zeal foresight
and painstaking energy on behalf of the

everything any man in his place could
have done for the volunteers at Camp

for what newspaper Editors are pleased
to call decentralization at Washington,
and for mistakes arising out of inexpe

Kentucky Neutrality.

Kentucky processes to be decidedly
for the Union-Lut she will be neutral
in the fight between the Union and its
enemies! She processes to be perfectly
neutral-Jm she will permit the enlist
ment of any number of troops to fight
the Union, and will, to man, fight the
Union herself, if the rebels are molested.
She processes to be in favor of the Con-
stitution-bm will destroy the Govern
ment if the Constitution is not immedi-
ately changed into another instrument
than that she is sworn to support. She
processes to be in favor of the enforce
ment of the laws-Jm will arm her last
man against the Government, if it at
tempts to enforce these very laws. La
short, Kentucky is just such a neutral
as jeff DaTis admires, and patriots have
always had to strike down before reach
ing the hearts of their more respectabI, :,

Treason in Cincinnati.

John A. Skif,, produce dealer in
Cincinnati, has been arrested Tor trea-
son. The charge is, "glving aid and
comfort" to the enemy. Skiff obtained
permit from the U. S. Officers at Gin
cinnati, to ship lager beer to Louisville
After shipping il large quantity of VIII at
was supposed to be beer, suspicion was
aroused that, instead Of beer, the casks
contained other articles The author
tiles, thereupon, examined large num-
Der of beer casks, which had just been put
on board boat for Louisville, and in
stead Of beer, they found articles 'con-
traband of war" On this fraud being
discovered, his store was searched and
his letter book seized. This shows an
extensive correspondence with the rebels,
and persistent efforts on the part of
Skif to supply them with the means Of
carrying on the war. 1t is about time
that an example was made of some of
these rascals.

The editor of the New York Sunday
Times, a hard-shell Democrat, of the
straightest kind, thus refers to the posi-
ton of Great Britain, on American af-
fairs:
"We profoundly regret this hostile
action of the British Ministry. We
think those gentlemen have made an ex-
cessively grave mistake. They have
certainly rolled back the tide Of good feel
ing Jetueen the tsco nations for fifty years!
They have also dissolued forever, we are

Is This Prophceys

In spite of her tories, South Carolina
produced some Of the noblest spirits Of
our revolution. Her Sumpters and
Marions will live in the hearts Of all
true men, as long as our country shall
have a history. But the history of those
times which tried mems souls, shows
that the leading men of that State were,
then, as now, opposed to a free Govern
ment.
General Marion, after passing through
the great struggle for freedom and indie
pendence, and understanding thoroughly
the character and sentiments of the lead
ing men of the State, placed upon record
his anticipations oftheir future. Major
S. Horny, in his life of Gen. Marion,
published many years ago, gives the last
words of the dying patriot. This seems
more like prophecy than the ordinary
calculation of the probable events of a
distant future The present state OF
things give to the language remarka-
bic interest. These are the words:
