AlleFed IneendInrn Purpo,e.

At the request of one or two ci'izens,
We transfer to our columns, LITTER from
the ztuesviIle Courier, which purports to
give information concerning an intended
plot to burn down that city, Wheeling, aud
several other places.
The Mayor of our city has thought
worth while to act upon information which
he has received to the same effect, by taxi
ing extra police precauijousi aud he is of
the opinion that the source from which
this letter emenates entities it to credit.
What lends force to the statements Of the.
writer iS the fact that he has aever been at
ZapeSvtlle, aud was enabled to give the
authorities there a map of ia;ended opera
tious. IuaSmurh as attempts have been
already made in Boston, by secession spies,
to destroy the water works of that city,
the Mayor here has very properly given
sufficient credit to this letter to be on his
guard.

TREASON Tn Parkersburg.

From the Marietta Intelligencer.
We understand that the picket guard of
the l4th Regiment caught three men yes
terdny afternoon in the attempt to burn
railroad bridge east of ParkerShurg, for
the manifest purpose of preventing the
Government troops pnssirg eastward. N.
Jackson, Esq, the Prosecuting Attorney
of Wood cou"ty, n loyal friend of the
Union, assured Col. SIedman that these
trnitors should be committed to prison if
given up to the regular course of law
They were given UP, but unfortunately
were taken before Judge jackson mot
Gen. J. who at once dismissed them
Afterwards when the Attorney protested
sgainst this unwarranted course, he or
dered his arrest for contempt of court
The report is that at once mnny reviewers
were drawn aud pointed at Judge Jack
son, and he was told that TINT was an or
.ler that could not he executed.
Now 1t these statements are true 1t he
comes Judge jackson to beware. The
giving of aid aud comfort to the eRemy is
treason, and NIL traitors will be summarily
dealt with. We are at iUar and there rpiH
be no traitors left in the rear. Oar soldiers
are not To be mOlestcd or trifcd with
They will hang Judge who is traitor
rs promptly as Ihe poorest rebel wretch in
whose veins flows no HristoCrntic blood.
And We say in kind spirit to our Virginia
friends, that just now the less said HbUat
the sacred soil of YirRinin," the better.
The people of the country will not brook
any SuHtIlt5i4 -i,sF
