WAsHINeToN, July 9.-Evidenees have
reached the Government of well-planned
rebel conspiracy, of q most extended charac-
ter, which was 70 have burst upon the country
simultaneously with the battles at Richmond.
The rebel leaders confidently relied on shaking
OF Mcclellan and annihilating his army by
their immensely superior numbers, and this
success was to be Immediately followed by a
rising in Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland,
and the advance of JEFF Davis upon Washing
ton in the midst of the confusion. The f.mi.
lies of rebel officials who are living in Ken
lucky, while their heads are in position in
Richmond, were fully informed Of The scheme,
and in their boldness and imprudence let it
out. The facts were communicated to the
War Department and to Gen. Boyle, of Ken
lucky, and. preparations were made to defeat
the movement; but the utter failure of the
rebels to break the power of the Union army
now threatening Richmond make it impossible
for them to pat their plan in motion.

A gentleman named John. Msher, having
difficulty with lady on whom marital cere-
monies had bestowed the right to share his
bed and board--in point Of fact his wife, did
strike her yesterday at their home Ct bliss on
Jefferson street. The timid creature sought
protection in one of the laws myrrnidons, in
short policeman. Ere proceeding on the
seldom successful search, however, she called
to condole with sweet sympathising spirit
known to mortals as Mrs Conway. Together
they started to do th@s which philosophers and
and men in anger have repeatedly asserted to
be ssublnnary impossibility-Anda policeman
when wanted. They didn't find the police
man, but Mr.. John Maher found them. and
nistakiDg Mrs. Conway Tor his wife, played a
knife into her hedy, infiicting wound that
will probably for some days incapacitate her

any other board without serious and painful
inconveniences El
