The Rumored Plan TO Assassinate
Napoleon.
Paris Correspondence Of the LONDON Star.

Paris Correspondence Of the London Star.
I fAll the Ministers left Paris on Saturday
evening en- masse for kCompiegne. As
they did 80 very UNEXPECTEDLY, this cir
cumstsnce had the effect Of strengthen
ing current report that the Emperor
was fred at the same evening by soldier
Of his body guard. All Paris Is this
evening filed with stories of the. con-
spiracy to which / alluded in my last
letter, as the cause Of the Inauguration
of the Boulevard do Prince Eugene being
put Off / did not like to give circum-
stantial account of what l had there
heard, passing from mouth to mouth, on
the subject, feeling that it was toe serious
TO treat as mere on dc. But as there is
now, for wonder, some reason to think
that there is basis Of truth for this re-
port, | do net feel the same hesitation
about going into some details when
speaking of it. The story goes that fif-
teen men, armed with pistols, who are
generally said to be Italians, were to have
been posted along the Boulevard du
Prince Eugene, when the Emperor was to
be passing. If one failed ia carrying out
his object the second was TO have made
an attempt TO accomplish il; and if the
second failed, the third was to have TAX
en- his place, and so till one of the fifteen
had succeeded. have also heard, but
do not know whether il is the truth or
not, that all the conspirators have escap-
ed, and that the government are in a
state OF great alarm As for the Paris
ians, they are, from the Arch of Triumph
to the Barriere du Trone, and from Mont
Martre to the Barriere du Maine, calling
to mind the cloirUoyonte's prediction that
terrible catastrophe is TO occur about
the end of the decade which commenced
with the destruction of the Republic. I
know several persons whom all this talk
has so alarmed, that they will not go to
see the pageant which is to come off on
the 18th of December, lest they should
meet with stray projectile. Several
ladies, | am told, also refused to order
court dresses till after the first week of
December shall be tided over by the Gov
eminent in safety, so as not to have their
wardrobes filed with useless finery in
case any public catastrophe should mean
while take place. The feeling which
prevails here can only be compared to the
panic which some years ago took place in
different parts of the United Kingdom, in
consequence Of some sensation preachers
having announced that according to their
calculations Of the prophecies the world
would be destroyed ON certain day.
The Emperor, it is believed by many of
his subjects, is also influenced by the same
fears as to what the end of the decade
may have in store for him. The Emper-
or has also, by always protesting TO be-
lieve in fate or destiny, done much to
originate the popular superstition of
which speak.

From the Quincy whig.l
Want Of Laborers.

The little dash of winter which re-
Gently showed down upon us reminds us
of the condition at our farming friends
whose corn, to great extent, remains
ungathered. There are not laborers
enough accessible to them to secure their
crops, even with the most favorable
weather. Hence every little omen of the
early setting in of winter fills them with
anxiety. Not only are their crops I'M
gathered and unhoused, but they have
been unable TO make their Usual fall
preparations for another season. All
their work is behind-hand," and is
daily becoming more so. This is true
not merely of few here and there, but il
is very generally true all over the State,
among those whose agricultural opera
tions extend beyond the ability of their
own unaided hands.
We hear of their offering very eXtrava-
CANT wages, without being able to procure
the requisite aid. The fact is, there are
not laborers enough in the State, by
many thousands, to save the crops al
ready grown from destruction, to say
nothing Of preparation for future opera
tions. Most of the volunteers from this
State under the last two calls were from
the farming population, and, as a general
thing, they were the most industrious,
enterprising and reliable laborers which
the country afforded Many neighbour
hoods were entirely deprived Of able
bodied young men and only the lame
and the lazy, and those who were already
overburthened with engagements, were
left behind.
This difficulty will be more seriously
felt hereafter The present price of labor
exceeds the value of the produce which
il will raise, even ii land were rent free.
Hence there must result diminished agri-
cultural production, increased prices and
diminished expectation, To this evil,
now merely or mainly personal TO the
farmer, butt prospectively general and
national, we would call timely public
attention. The continuance of the war
renders an increased supply Of agricultu-
raj laborers an imperious public neces-
sity. How shall that necessity be met
he who can solve this question will con-
fer upon his country a very great beusfit.
Let the wise give il their attention.

Especial Despatch to the Evening po.t.I

SHELLS THAT WoN'T EXPLODE Wash
ington, Dec. 5.-There is curious re-
port here to-day to the effect that Burn
sides late visit TO Washington was not
80 much connected with the movements
of the army or the plan of the campaign
as with curious deficiency he discOv-
cred in the department of Gen. Meigs.
1t is said that some ten thousand shells
were lately forwarded to Falmouth, to
be in readiness for the expected bonn
bardment. They were good-looking
destructives enough but Burnside never
trusts to looks alone he peers about and
examines; and when he came TO put his
nose in these shells he found that not
one in ten was likely TO explode. As he
is one OF the warriors who mean to hurt
the enemy, he straightway HE'D him 70
Washington TO learn the reason of this
systematic deficiency.
Whether he found out does not yet APP
pear, but it is pretty well know that one
or two gentlemen, high in Office, whose
business is 10 forward shells that will hurt
are under arrest.

Thanksgiving Day passed blithely and pleas
antly. The weather was most inspiring, and
the favors of sunshine and fresh breezes were
richly enjoyed by the multitudes who sought, in
the sports of welcome holiday, relief from
the labOrs and anxieties Of the advancing sea-
son. The quiet of the city was remarkable.
The various churches were visited by large and
attentive congregations. and the charitable in
stituti0ns received unusual proofs Of the boun-
tiful consideration of the public. On no other
anniversary ia the generous spirit of the COM
munity so avishly displayed, and to the multi
tude of poor it marks time when thanks ere
given more truly in feeling than in form. The
places of popular amusement were overwhelpi'
ingly attended, in day ard evening. In all re-
spects it is probable that there has never been
more hearty aud universal observance Of the
day. In other columns of this mornings paper
viii be found reports of the various events and
occurrences of public interest.
