NASHVILLE VS.. LoUIsvILLE.-Some of the
prominent citizens of Missouri, four of them
congressman elect, having advised conven-
ton of the friends of freedom in the slave
states" to meet at Louisville on the 9Th dav of
January next, to compare views, and perfect
measures, relating to the whole subject of
emancipation, the Louisville Journal de-
nounces them in the most frantic and vindic-
tive manner. 1t was "inpudent, revolution
airy and fiendish"-''fit only to be conceived
by demons in hell''-'K Kentucky would well
come the eternal devil sooner than such a
convention'---and so forth. The Nashville
Union, an organ of healthy opinions in the
heart of the slave empire, thus responds to
this organ Of pro-slavery loyalty =
Thus raves the negro worshipping organ. 1t is
the rant of a drunken man. To denounce a simple
call for an anti slavery convention as an "impudent
and hendish step,n fit to be conceived only by the
devils in hell, would certainly provoke the indig-
nauon oil every freeman, did not the character of
the dsnuncator consign the denunciation TO con-
tempt ana derision. This is day offree discussion

vention Of slave holders, or of American citizens
from any state, could not meet in New York Gin
cinnat, Louisville, TO discuss RAILROADS
banks, education religion, or negro Slavery II
slavery shake the nation to its very foundations
and threaten it with ruin, why may not the people
inquire into the expediency of its abolition? Great
presumption indeed TO call convention 'in OUR
efy' to discuss slavery, says the negro wOrshpping
organ. We think that anti slavery conventions
may as well meet there as pro slavery conventions

The NATIONAL REsoURCEs.-The following
is rough estimate of the resources of the
government for ihe coming year.
Fiye-twenty bonds issuing for sale, $3.50, 0,000i
due the treasury, $40 000,000; custom revenues,
8l00000000 Internal revenues, SI25 900. Total
1896 100000.
The estimate Of revenue from internal tax
alton is averaged from the estimates of vari-
Gus cautious hnaneiers, varying from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty millions for
the next year. 1t is the judgment of the wis
est men that the government will not require
during the year the issue of any new descrip-
ton of bonds, and that no new loan of any
kind will be offered.

rowdies, met him Mt fourth ward porter

commenced with social drink at the

which warmed them into political discus

the fighting and shooting. So long as New

will they have riots and brawls, and SO long
will Gotham politics be Il disgrace TO the coun-

Erie.
DETROIT, Nov. l2-rhere is very little
doubt that plot has been formed by the rebel
refugees in Canada to make hostile demon
STATIONS on the lower lakes: there is not
| enough, however, made public TO make their
designs fully apparent, but whatever they
may be, it is safe to say that our authorities
are on the alert, and the conspirators will
meet with warm reception.
Abiding to the canard that privateer was
on the lakes, the captain of the steamer Mich
igan thinks it is not likely that rebel vessels
will hover about Sandusky harbor whilu Uu-
Gle SANS war steamer is there.

PLOT TO BURN BUFFALO AND oGDENSBURG
AND RELEASE TIE REBEL PRISONERS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-The facts contain
ed in dspatci sent from Washington this
morning with regard to the rebel prisoners in
| Johnsnu's Island were obtained from official
| sources, hut since then additional Informal
| ton, authentic in its character, has been OBJ
tanned, by which it appears that The governor
general of Canada has given notice,
| through Lord Lyons, to the secretary of
state VI rebel plots Matched in the British
provinces, to deliver the prisoners on John
sons island in Lake Erie, and burn Buffalo
and Ogdensburg. Adequate measures to de-
feat the nefariouS enterprise have been very
promptly adopted, and the comfy and good
faith of the British authorities are highly APP
preciated. 1t is not apprehended that any
thing SerioUs will grow out Of the affair, as the
government was prepared for some such dis
closures.
A DISPATCH FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
BUFFALO, Nov. l2.-The following was re-
ceiyed here to-day
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Midnght.-T the
Mayor Of Buffalo The British minister,
Lord Lyons, has tonight officially notified the
government that from telegraphic information
received from the governor general of Canada
there is reason to believe that there is plot on
foot by persons who have found an asylum in
Canada to invade the United States and de-
stroy the city Of Buffalo; that they propose to
take possession of some of the steamboats, on
Lake Erie, to surprise Johnsons Island, set
free the prisoners Of war confined there, and
proceed with them to Buffalo
This government will employ all means in
its power to suppress any hostile attack from
Canada, but as other towns and cities on the
shores of the lakes are exposed to the same
dangers, it is deemed proper to communicate
this information to you, in order that any pre-
cautions which circumstances will permit may
be taken.
The governor general suggests that the
steamboats, or other vessels, giving cause for
suspicion by the number or character of per-
sons on board, shall be arrested.
You will please acknowledge the receipt of
this telegram, and communicate to this depart
ment any information you may now or here
after have on this subject.

BISHUP HOPKINS ARGUMENT. One of the
sharpest satres Of the times has been recently
directed by an anonymous pamphleteer
against Bishop Hopkins Bible defence of
slavery. The writer builds an argument to
prove the lawfumess of polygamy, following,
step by step, and paragraph by paragraph, the
logical order of the bishop, and using in be-
half OF poly gamy the same authorities, in al
most every instance, which he uses as intalli-
bic witnesses Tor slavery. The writer closes
with the following travesty of the bishops
plaintive arraignment of the "bigotry" of the
times, which will not fellowship the patriarch
al usagcs of the early Mosaic days =
Thus the mistaken bigotry of the community,
acting through the mt'scrving pliancy of politi.
cians, has dishgured onr statute-books with laws
which place ban upen this patriarchal institution.
Noble christian souls i'll our midst, yearning to re-
vert to the halowed rites of Old, are obliged to
practice them covertly, and under the opprobrious
name of bigamists trackedand prosecuted fell

ton they were driven from their homes by uncon-
trUlled tanaticism. When, after Sunerngs un-
found refuge in the far distant desert, and their
prosperity testified to their righteousness still the
prosecutor was upon their heels, and the whole
sion, as Ar. Floyds accepances will testify poured
forth its money like water for the pititul pleasure of
reforming their domestic obseryances."
ABoRTIvE PLoTs OF THE REBELS AND Cor
PERmEADs.-The discovery of conspiracy to
liberate the rebel prisoners at Johnson's ISL
and, commit piracy on the lake., and burn
Buffalo and Ogdensburg, is reported this
morning. 1t will be observed at once that
the theater Of operations is located near the
present home of the exiled Vallandgham.
The whole plot is absurd. But it shows the
villainous temper OF the copperheads. In
the Pennsylvania coal mines they instigate
! the ignorant miners to resist the draft and
murder loyal men; at the home of Fernan-
do Wood they cause diabolical riot; and
at various places their vile though abortive
attempts have caused patriots to wish them
all shot. No wonder General Burnside, the
soldier, wanted such rascals hung.

have been circulated in the magazines and

Ilcknor & Fields, with entirely new designs

launching at the yard in New York. She is
the most elegantly iron-clad vessel afoat, and
the most formidable also. The workmanship
in every part of the ship is unsurpassed by
any thing ever done in this country, or any
where else. Her sides are as smooth as those
of wooden ship, while every joint and seam
in the massive plating is as true as Il die. Mr.
Delamater has shown to the great English
iron ship builders that iron ship~building can
be done in the United States as well as in Eng
land No expense or pains have been spared
in making this ship the finest of our iron clad
navy. When completed she will not only be
the pride of the American navy, but monu-
ment of the inventive genius of Capt. Erics-
son and a specimen of American skill and

The CHICAGO FAIR.-The grand sanitary
fair, held under the auspices of patriotic la
dies OF the northwest, closed on the 9TH inst.
after two weeks of unclouded prosperity.
Our Chicago friends speak of it with slight
extravaganza of expression, as the "noblest
conceived and best executed charity that has
ever blessed the world" Its aggregate re-
ceipts were $50, O00 of which $6736 were re-
ceived in one day. The number of persons
who dined daily on the fair premises exceeded
fifteen hundred. On the last day of the fair
the ladies, who had given their time and SER
vices during the entire fortnight, partook of
splendid dinner served up by about sixty gen.
tlemen, who made their first and only appear
ance that day, as Knights Of the White Apron.
The wonderful success of this iar-so far be-
yond the expectations of its most sanguine
friendS-will tighten many a heavy heart in
camp and hospital, during the coming winter.
