CONTEMPLATED RADON Friday, q gentle
man from Montreal put Mr. j. W. Hobart,
Master of Transportation, Vt Central r. R.,
in possession OF some important information, in
regard to contemplated attempt of certain
rebels in that city, to capture Fort Montgomery
at Rousc's Point, seize the boats and rolling
stock OF the railroad and destroy the drawbridge
and telegraph wires. Many we notice are dis.
posed to give little credence to the story, but we
DO not think ii at all improbable. Fort Mont
gomery, as is well known, has been up to a
very short time IN an almost deienceless condl.
ton, 80 much go that dozen men could get il
without difficulty; and even if not able to hold
could blow it up, The gentleman from whom
Mr.. Hobart obtained his information is every
way entitled to belief, and only told what he
personally saw and heard.--St, Allan, Mssssn.

another insult was added by the copperhead
whereupon the hero Of Charlottesville and Get
