Late Rebel Losses.

s9- Last v;ek, some detectors worked
out, in New York city, several plans to
aid the Rebels. One was by a privateer,
just as they used to ct out Slavers. The
detection aud revelation of these plots
probable ripened the plans for a mob to
take the city, as Baltimore was taken in

pea. Rev. j. d. Beugless sends US from
Gettysburg, a half sheet Of the Sentinel,
the old Union paper of that now famous
town. The Penn. College and the Theol.
Seminary Of Gettysburg, both sent out
their men to fight for the good cause, aud
each had one man wounded. Two citizens
were killed, and two wounded, in the
town. We copy three extracts from this
first No. Of the Sentinel issued since the
Great Battle!
AS the invaders approached, many Of
our citizens took their horses TO Lancaster
aud other counties for safety there they
received the mos, hearty welcome, and
hospi,able treatment from all, with few
co,,pery exceptions. For this kindness,
those hosp,,able friends have the warmest
thanks Of our people"

edge themselves badly whipped, and seem
desirous of findipg quiet home beneath
the protection ct the stars aud stripes.
They declare that Gen. Lee deceived
them, representing that they had nothing
before them but raw militia"
"Oue feature Of this invasion, has been
peculiarly gratifJiug to every lover Of the
Union. Those who have been notorious
sympa,hizers with the enemy, have been
required to give tangible and practical
evidence Of their sympathy. They have
been, by great odds, the heaviest sufferers.
Truly there is a u cd in heaven"

CONSPIRACY IN GEORGIA.

Asa general rule the Rebel Press, and th,
Slaycholding Pres lt all times, say as little at
possible about Slave Conspiraces. Such FREE
qucutly occur wherever Slavery exists. A
memorable ono conyulsed this City several
year before the outbreak of the Revolution.
Virginia trcmblcd over the discovery Of one in
loo; south Carolina had q narrow escape from
tina, headed by Denmark Vcscy about ls20;
and Virginia has not yet forgotten that led by
Nat. Turner IN l-3l. There have Of course
been several plots for Slave risings since the
slnycholdcrs' Rebellion; but the master race
are suspicious, yigilant, armed, and alert, so
thn, they are usually nipped in the bud.
That which was recently suppressed in Han
cock County, Georgia, would seem to have
been unusually formidable. Hancock had :, i37
slaves 20 less than 1900 free inhabitants in
leo, and IL is quite probable that the slave
holders OF Virginia. Tennessee, Mississippi, &c,
a. they fed from the advance of our armies,
have increased not merely the number but the
Of its slaves. The cautious state
menls of The Macon Cont,derdte that this insur-
rection was "a more serious affair than was
first supposed that "a large number OF me-
grocs aye implicated that their organization
was complete, and officers chosen, from Major
General down to corporal that "a number
Of tho ringlcadcrs have been arrested" &C.,
&C., prove this no triGing affair. The Rebels
will of course show those implicated how they
deal with q rebellion.

OUR CITY AND BROOKLYN.

act it.
Nine-tenths Of the votes polled by non.regis-
tered voters are fraudulent; yet these are poured
in by the bushel without objection. The aflida-
Wits Of men so drunk as not to know what they
are about suffice to establish the right, and the
vote goes in without further scrutiny. Let it
be settled and understood that erery rOte offered

the Copperhead majorites in these two Cities
will be cut down at least Five Thousand.
We beg our General and Ward Committees
to act at once on this subject. II is OF
no use to convince and convert former

fast compatrots, il their votes are to be
overborne, "a hitherto, by wholesale fraud. The
last years majorities against us were shameiully
swelled by illegal voting, and il was cruelty un-
just to our brethren in the rural districts that
this was permitted. If our Committees would
do their simple duty this wrong could not be re-
pcated. There are Twenty Thousand Voters in
the two cities that would give next Tuesday
wholly to their country if the proper appeals
were made to induce them to do so. We ought Ia
have an average VI one hundred men al each poll

our chalengcrs are not oyerawed and senccd.
But, TO insure this, the arrangements must be
made this week.

to stand by the country in the Election next
