teuUeTS ~ We conspiracy ATTeSteN.
From the Cincinnati Gazette November g.
For some time past little iDforma,
tions have been leaking out from day
te day, indicating the existence of a
deep and widely spread scheme of vii
lainly in our midst, by which treason
in the South was to be followed by
treason in the North, and by which the
party styling itself the peace party Of
the North was to carry the civil war up
to the very extreme of the Northern
border. But the intimations were few;
and, by many the apprehensions of
civil commotion were considered as i'll
founded and when on Saturday night
the first blow fell, and several of the
parties implicated were arrested in
this city, it was matter of surprise to
all, and so sudden and so tremendous
were the developments which were
then for the first time made public, that
even yet it is difficult to believe in the
revelations which ever hour is bringing
forth.
On Saturday night U. S. Marshal A.
G. Sands, who has been for some time
past acting in conjunction with Provost
Marshal Major Reany, and the other
military authorities of the District of
the Ohio, in sitting out the affair, re-
ceived information which led him to
believe that the right time for action
had arrived, and he accordingly dis
patched Deputy Marshal James Sands,
with assistants, on special train to
Columbus, at 10 o'clock, to procure
the arrest of Chas. w. II. Cathcart,
School Commissioner for the State of
Ohio, and j. D. Cresap, formely sutler
in the 18th regulars, but then a resi-
dent of the capital city. As soon as
the deputation to Columbus had star
ted, Marshal Sands proceeded to ar
rest Samuel D. Thomas, Mary A.
Thomas, his wife, and Catherine Par
menter of this city /; while the military
authorities arrested James p. Patton,
of Covington, and Ruth Mcdonald, of
Newport, and they also were handed
oys- to the custody of the Marshal. o
The plot has been brewing for many
months past, and has only oe1c::, dIscov-
cred by the continual and watchful Wig.
lance of the detectives. The plan
which had been concerted was nearly
as follows: On certain night, which
had not been definitely fixed, a sufficient
number of the conspirators were to as
semble in the vicinity of Camp Chase,
and at given signal were to overpower
the guard (which is far from being a
strong one) and at the same time the
prisoners, who were to be apprised of
what was going on, and who number
about four thousand, were to make rush
from theinside and thus securetheir free
dom. Having armed themselves with
the weapons of the guards. they were
then to march on Columbus, led by
Cathcart, and the arsenal, arraing
themselves completely with the United
States arms stored there. From thence
their next attack was to be on the Penl-
tentiary for the release Of John Nor
gan and his men, by whom the rebel
army in Ohio was to be Offered.
Then the rebel campaign in Ohio was
to be commenced, and the first pro.
oeeding on the part Of the traitors was

AUBURN, Culpepper Co., October l5.
To the Editor of the Examiner
SIR: Yours is the only paper published
in Richmond to which | could make an ap-
plicatlon with any likelihood of success, in
order to set myself right before ths public;
and You will pardon me for saying that
am by no means confident of obtaining such
a privilege at your hands; but think have
a right to expect it, inasmuch as you have
chosen to publish an extract from letter
written by correspondent for, and pub
lished in, the New York Herald, aceompa-
MED with some uncalled for and ill-natured
comments of your own. But do not ask
you to publish for me without making
suitable charge, which am more than will
ling to pay. l hope, therefore, you will al
low me to say, that whilst / have long since
forsborne to make corrections OF any mis-
representations of me by the public press,
vet there are some of such a nature, and
calculated to beget so muce prejudics IN tue
public mind, that do not feel | would be
acting wisely or properly to let them pass
unnoticed.
lam willing at all times to be held to a
proper responsibility for anything may say
or do; dut tt am not willing to be so held
for what Others, who may draw upon their
fancies for their facts, may choose to say for
me, or of me. have seen several state
msnts in the Richmond papers, lately, copl-
ed from Northern papers, calculated to ex-
cite popular feelings against me, which had
no foundation in truth.
E;rs< That bod boa1 accostpd nv some
Indiana Major, then engaged in skirmish
with some of the confederate cavalry, and
on being asked which way they had gone
(which, by the way, if he was skirmishing
with them he ough to have known for him
self without asking me) I replied: II was
not at liberty to tell him, as | was on my
parole" and then very grstuitously added
that '1 was a Union man without any IFS or
buts.n Now, whatever my opinions and
position on this subject may be, it is not
true that have had any such interview
have seen no such Major, and had no such
questions put to me, and have given no such
answer.
Secondly. In the letter, a portion Of
which you have copied, am represented
by the writer as having said; 81 wished the
federal generals knew half that | knew Of
the rebels and their resources and inten-
tions." l have only to say that | said no
such thing, aud nothing that would bear a
resemblance ID it. And when | read the
Herald containing it, I mentioned the error
to two other eorresI ondents Of that paper,
and asked them to have it corrected, which
they promised should be done. l see moth;
ing in it, if l had said it, to be complained
of by other parties, as it matter not what
knew of their intentions and resources,
provided l did not disclose them to others.
I complained of it because it made me ap-
pear in the ridiculous attitude Of pretending

their prejudices, and discarded of

for the good of the country, now
is the solemn hour. Party predi,

How, then, we AJAX is the Press
to be sustaineds2 Here We have a
diminished circulation, and double
price to pay for food, clothing, ink
and paper. The Press does not
make, as much money in one year
as would pay for ink, paper, and
one good printer for six months
our books will prove this to be a
fact. We think we have found
money enough out Of our own
pocket to support the cause of De-
mocracy in Preble county, and il
parties interested cannot, or will
not step forward and sustain us in
our disinterested struggle to keep
up the paper, they will in due time
discover that to sustain an organ of
their own in Preble county, will
require four times the amount of
money ever yet subscribed by them.
We understand newspaper busi-
ness as well as any Of cur readers,
and therefore we warn them in
time.
Notwithstanding all that we have
had to pass through and to suffer,
in the interest of Democracy in
Eaton, we have never yet received
one sym pathizing or encouraging
word, to cheer us on in our thank
less labors. But we have received
insults in abundance, and the world
eli the Press does not supper
. you, why don't you give it up? ?
' This is rich, after we have spcn
our own money TO sustain it for tn.
good of the Democratic cause =
g But this is not all !; we have bee
y lied upou, slandered, and even Ii
: beled, and threatened with dealt
or expulsion from the county,
not from America. 1t would hav
y been a great gain to us, if the son
lie Of scandal, SANDER, pulpit falshoot
r. and smut sheet libels, had drive
e us away eighteen months back.
One word more to some of OF
readers, and we have done for tn
h present. AS q number of our sui
ot scribers appear to think it a 81
Of and a shamet to pay for their pape
a. and to exonerateth hundreds vi

have and who have not paid US.
