triumph OF the Union party over the Cop

State officers and three Of the fonr Congress-
men. The contest has been very warm
one, both parties having thoroughly can
vaSsed the State with their abest champ
ions. The Coppcrheads strained every nerve

people of Connecticut are still determined
that there shall he no disgraceful peace.

ZIONIST, was elected Mayor of St. LOUIS,

duced majority. The Union ticket was

ed so, also, i'll Steubenville, making Il
large gain. The Butternuts don't know

The election in st. Joseph. No., on Mon
day. resulted in the re election of the pres.

A Secret Conspiracy TO Over
throw the Government.

The officers Of the law have brought to light
II conspiracy in tie county of Bcrks, the
avowcd object Of which is to cause the over
throw of the United States. We are introduced
to an organization which meets in barns, with
signs, passwords, and grips. evidently acting in
communication with IA higher power, protesting
to have associations in all parts of the country
and having for its avowed object he abduction
Of the President, armed resistance to the Gov
eminent.
Mr.. Lyon, detective officer. who brought this consp
racy to light describes meeting that took place the
Dist Of March, lS63 in barn Of Jacob Cellar in Marion
township, Berks county BY those Mysterious agencies
known to the profession Mr. Lyon had obtained iinow
edge Of the meeting. and secrctcd himself under the
straw. In the course of the evening hundred

thrown ont to prevent discovery surprise. Mr.
Huber who is in custody led the conversations Accord
ing to Mr. Lyon, who his concealed listener he de-
bounced the unholy and urjuSt he said that the
society million strong: he stated that it first
organized in the South that the society had signs, pass
words. and grips" and then we learn that he admins
tered, the obligation, and that eShtythrce members
joined during that evening.
After the mcetn. assembled pickcts were placed pass
words used, and the members upon the
Holy Evangelist. BY the atrocious creed which hints
them together they declare themselves to be in favor Of
"thc abduction of Abraham Lincoln by force if neccs-
snry :" 'of Northwestern Coufcderacy; the ressta ce
of the draft or the CONSUMPTION Act' These are the
fundamental principles of the organization. The main
object seems to he the resistance Of the draft They
would try the conStutiunay Of the CONSUMPTION act
ami failing in that USE force THIS ia the practical part
of the whole conspiracy. Philip Huber, Augustus f.

arrested ON the charge of conspiracy and had hearing

THE GOVERNMENT ORDER requiring
persons who transport goods from Phiadel
phia into the border counties of Pennsylva.
MIA and. Maryland to file at the Custom
House the Oath of Allegiance to the Gov
ernment, together with declaration that
the goods are not to be sold by them to go
within the rebel lines, has caused great
deal OF annoyance TO many of our most
loyal citizens. For every shipment of goods
that is made there must be certificate from
the authorities to satisfy the officer who has
the supervision of transportation, that the
partys oath is duly registered i'll the proper
office. This costs the party 20 cents in
addition to the troubled and often delay he
is subject to, while parties who are disloyal
and refuse to take the oath, by little man
aging, which the officers somehow or other
fail to discover, smuggle goods from Phila
deli hla without being muct for the official
fee OF 20 cents, or suffering the least deten
ton. A law or Government regulation
whose practical effect is to embarrass and
cause expense to Union men who make no
efforts to evade it, but is so lax as to allow
designing rebels to escape, had better be
annulled.

Siege of ChariestOn.--Adr Gri raj

The Richmond HAtg of yesterday has the
following in reference 10 the situation of Affairs
at Charleston:
'Ail thoughts are now centcrcd upon Charles
ton. Gtiicisl intelligence was made public
early Yesterday morning that the eremy's iron

but later III the day it was announced that the

clads lay between the forts, quietly awaiting
the attack.
Further intelligence is looked for with eager
anxiety. The Yankees have made no secret OF
their vast preparations for an attack upon
Charleston, and we may well anticipate u ties-

that the enemy landed, last night on Coles

ny. A song of q The Seven Days' Fipht''

MA song of The Seven Days Fight"
before Richmond has been handed to us for
publication, which has that doubtful species
of merit in lyrics of being very lengthy. 1t
describes the whole campaign on the Pen
insula, but on account of the ballad great
length, together with other reasons, we are
compelled to lay it aside. The following
quotation from the first stanza Of the song,
though not much rs to poetry, has all the
beauty of truth to recommend it, and will
answer as specimen of the whole, contain,
ing rather more than an average of poetry,
and as much truth as can well be crowded
iuto two short lines of doggre. The song
goes or rather is intended to do soto the
air of Louisiana Lo,riands, and commences
as follows:
"Away down in old Virginia not many months ago,
Mcclellan made a move but made II very slow"

The Report Of the Committee o.

- The Report Of the Committee on
the concuct of the War was published in
the city papers on Monday last. The Re-
port is very lengthy but will well repay a
careful pcrusal. The document places be-
yond fur,her controversy that long contested
point. that Gen. Mcclellan is the greatest
military botch to be found either in ancient
or modern history, that ever had command
Of what is termed Grand Army, or an
army on which the fate of nation rested
This conclusion cannot be avoided by any
man who has judgment enough to weigh the
plain statement of facts set down in the
Report. Alas that an intelligent nation
and army should so long have Rugged fatal
deluson! The secessionists and traitors
Arrays Landed the man. Their instinct for
evil or the devil himself must have revealed
his ilfoiliccncy to them.
