10 this speculation, but it was never wholly
Abandoned; and the inccndary, murderous riots
OF Coy. Scymour's friends" in this city were
hailed by the Rebels as a fresh though tardy
attempt TO carry out the original programme.
Had Lee triumphed at Gettysburg, this out
break would have been pTeciptated ann
woald have been far more formidable. De-
curing directly on the back OF several stun
ming Rebel defeats, it proved useless to ITS
contriyers and rather beneficial than injur-
furious to the Government. And it is now very
unlikely to be repeated or initiated on any scale
that shoud excite apprehension. Lieut.. Maury

prospects of Northern help rs though Jen.
Davis held the whole Copperhead faction III

the resulting disappointment. II Il now plain
hat no regiment will ever be openly recruited
in a Free State TO fight the battles OF Pro-

But lie Southern hopes Of Foreign inerposi-
