The Times and other papers are accu.
sing the Conservative Of having a Grim.
maj business connection with the late
inquirer. We presume it was nothing
more than that Of doing press work fol
the Inquirer species of job work
which no more made the proprietors Of
the Conservative responsible for the reb.
ell organ. than the proprietors Of the
Times and other papers are for the sen.
tment' of the hand-bills they print o,
the advertisements they publish. fifth,
supposition is the correct one the attemp,
to injure the Conservative by putting ,
false gloss upon the matter 10 very con-
temptible and dishonest. as none but
printers can fully understand these mat.
tiers, and a wrong impression upon the
public mind is easily made. II there 10
any thing more than this. speak it out like
men. Let the Conservative stand or fall
down face lis real merits. 1t has enough
sins OF its own TO answer for. withou, at
tempting to saddle upon i, any Of which
1t is not guilty. Fair play gentlemen,
fair play.

Gen. Blunt has issued a circular

Information has been received at
these Headquarters, of such character
as to leave little doubt that there 10 an
organization in this State, for the Osten-
sible purpose Of protecting themselves
and loyal citizens against the enemies Of
the Government. but whose real object
is TO engage in system Of illegitima,e
and indiscriminate plumber. rendering
property and even life insecure. and ex-
empting no class OF persons from the op-
erations Of their piracy"
He then proceeds to tell these gentle
men Of the road that they must cease
their robbsries etc. This is right. A
thief is thief. and he only disgraces the
cause Of the Union by protesting to be-
long to the loyal party; and the sooner
all organizations Of whatever character
of this sort are put down the better it
will be for the country. let them 60 into
the army. Bands of thieves and rob-
bers have no business in the land.
The great number Of horses stolen in
different parts of the country during
the past few weeks. shows that Gen
Blunt did not issue this Circular" a
day too soon.
