Stion, on Sunday, in which the enemy were defeated
and driven back five miles from there. We have no

Y From every quarter III the Confederacy, schemes, ex-

Tover the country. and suggestions OF every character

ure, rendered so not by Mr.. Memuenger, but by the
Z people themselves. The funding scheme of Mem
& menger could succeed only by the cooperation OF the
3 people by their coming forward aud continuing to
sconvert the currency into bonds. 1t is not necessary
= to inquire into the reasons why the people have failed.
8 The fact that they have not and will not voluntarily
5fund the currency is an important matter for legis-
slative consideration.
New YORK, October 30.-The Richmond Wing of
the 18th says: Commissioner Ould has returned
Sfrom an interview with the Yankee Commissioner,
Meredith. who intimated that he had no power to ne
zgOtiate for the further exchange of prisoners, and
THAT Secretary Stanton was always opposed to any
exchange OF prisoners during the war, and his policy
lis now the policy of the Government. This will pro-
9bably be the last interview, unless u desire for its re-
snewal comes from the other side.
4 Attempted Revolt In Ohio.
4 CINcINNATI, November 2-An extraordinary case
lot treason recently came to light, duplicating several
persons in this city, Columbus, Co7ington and New
fpOrt, in the conspiracy TO release the rebel prisoners
lat Camp Chase and overthrow the State Government.
The plot, as described to the detectives, was that an
eattack was TO be made on Camp Chase to release the
prisoners confined there, numbering 5000 seize the
Sarsenal at Columbus, take possession of the Peniten-
stiary, release John Morgan and the other officers
scontined there, and then was TO be commenced a re-
sbel campaign in Ohio.
4 CHICAGO, November Sin regard to the plot for
the release of rebel prisoners at Camp Chase the Gin
5cinnati Gazette says: The plot has been brewing for
fmany months past, and was only discovered by the
watchful vigilance of detectives. The plan
which had been concerted was nearly as follows On
ia certain night, which had not been definitely fixed,
Ia sufficient number Of the conspirators were TO as
IseDble in the vicinity OF Camp Chase. and at a given
ssIgnal were 10 overpower the guard, which was far
,trOm being a strong one. At the same time the pri-
ssoners, who were TO be apprised of what was going
ION, and who number about 1000, were to make a
rush from the inside, AMI thus secure their freedom.
Having armed themselves with the weapons of the
iguard, they were then to march on Columbus, led by
Cathcart, and seize the arsenal. furnishing them
iselves completely with United States arms stored
there. Thence their next attack was to be on the
Penitentiary for the release of John Morgan and his
men, by whom the rebel army in Ohio was to be Off
'cered. Then the rebel campaign in Ohio was to be
commenced. and the first proceedings on the part of
the traitors was TO be the cutting of the telegraph
wires and the burning of the railroad bridges In or
,der TO prevent the arrival of national troops. The
parties involved in the matter are very numerous
land may be found in almost every part of the State,
some of them occupying positions under the United
States and State Governments.
Mississippi River.
The Tri6une'S special Washington dispatch says
THAT a gentleman recently from Vicksburg says that
the Mississippi river has been unusually low. On y
!%gunbosts of light draft can navigate the stream. The
dangers to navigation from the snags are increased
10y the presence of guerrillas, and almost every vessel
passing has received volleys at several points. A
number OF boats have been destroyed. The guerril-
las plan is 10 pick off the pilots, when the boats be-
come uamanageaOle, run ashore, and are then at
Hacked, rifed and destroyed, the passengers being
left on the bank to 60 whithersoever they can. The
navigation of the river is likely TO be seriously affect
led in this manner, as no conveys can be sent with
GOALS.
Charleston.
4 Folly Island letter of the Doth, to the Herald,
speaking of reopening the bombarGment on Sumter,
From all our sources of information we judge
the intention of the enemy to be the occupation of the
battered walls of Sumter with a sand battery similar
Ito Wagner, but unlike that work, secure from ap-
proach by sap or parallel. The present purpose of
Gen. Gilmore, it is believed. is to prevent the con
summation of Beauregard's plans, and in necessity
Ito level the foundations of Sumter to the waters edge.
sMoultrie and johnson have so far directed their shots
against battery Gregg, but the accuracy of their FIRE
is entirely destroyed by the guns which We have
strained upon them. On Tuesday five of our heavy
riaed guns, between Gregg and Wagner, were direct
led at the spire OF ST. Nicholas's Church in Charles
ton, and at least three shells exploded in the city.
W neither they were successful in accomplishing any
damage is as yet unknown. The general belief is
that our batteries will succeed in dtterly destroying
lSumter, and driving the rebel soldiers from its dimin-
ished garrison. Deserters from the enemy now &C
knowledge Il fear among the rebel soldiery that we
will yet get into the city. Those who closely watched
Fort Sumter on Monday morning, say n steamer took
from it to the city a large number of troops immedi-
lately after our batteries opened upon it.
WARRINGTON. October 30.-Lookout Mountain was
taken on the 18th by our troops under Gen. Hooker,
with the Eleventh Corps and u portion of the Twelfth,
land Palmer's division of the Fourth Corps. No Sc
.rious opposition was made. The Tennessee river Is
new open 20 Chattanooga, and the Army of the Cum
Iberlsnd is relieved from any danger threatened by
interrupted communication.
