Conscription.

Conscrlptlon.
The Warsaw correspondent of the Berlin
National Zeituny, writing on the 25th of Jan,
uary, saysi
al can only confirm my account of Yesterday
that the country is in complete revolt. Accord
ing to the arrangements Of the revolutionary
party, the outbreak was not to take place until
the let of May, but the Government Themselves
have hastened the catastrophe by the unhappy
recruiting movement From all parts Of the
country come bad reports, one following the
other. In Kiele and In Siedlio provsionary
Governments are established. Fighting has
taken place at many points with varied results.
All the telegraphic lines are broken, and on the
Warsaw and st Petersburg and the Warsaw
aud Vienna railways, the rails are torn up and
carried off. On the Warsaw and St. Petersburg
line the insurgents have burnt q bridge. All
the lines have become insecure, and it will cost
the Government much trouble to become mas
ters of the movement. The insurgents eesm
to be about to carry on a guerrilla warfare.
Already great part of the Warsaw garrison
have LEFT this city. Here all ia quiet, but who
can Say for how long7 The express post from
Siedlic arrived here yesterday, and brought the
entrails Of Gen. Tscherkassof, who was killed
by the rebels on the road hither, from Siedlic
The conductor reported that come miles from
Siedlic, not far from Bala, column OF about
one thousand men, armed with pixies and
revolvers, showed themselves, and called
on him to stop, As he obeyed the
summons, they demanded his list of
passengers. When they saw the name Of Gen.
Tscherkassof, they cried out, This is the man
We want They then opened the door and an
nounced to the General, who was sitting with
In the carriage, that he was sentenced to die by
the National Committee, and Immediately one
of them fred his revolver at the General. The
ball crashed through his head. They then
dragged the body from the coach, cut out the
stomach, tore out the entrails, threw them into
the coach, and said to the conductors Take
these to Prince Constantine, but we Will keep
the body to show our chiefs that we have faith
fully carried out their orders. can only add that
Gen. Tscherkassof was nominated by the prince
to serve on the court martial on the men &C.
cused of the murder at Chelm, and that he
signed the sentence Of death upon them. Such
events occur daily. The General Intendant of
the Army, General Sinelniskoff, who had 100,
600 roubles with him, was mes by the rebels,
who fell upon him, and sadly i'll used him. They
disarmed the General, requested him to deliver
the money, and gave him receipt signed BY
the National Committee. So far the rebels;
but more important is IL for he'extension OF
the revolt that oil the landholders have deelar-
ed to their peasants that they desire no rent
from them, and that all the ground they hold ID
lgiven TO them for the future The country
people now begin 70 wavsr, and at many place.
they already make common cause with the reb
els. Altogether Il ID estimated that 100000
rebels are In the country" ita5r &.
