Dir. Beeeher's Speech in Liverpool.

The following is an extract of letter from
New Yorker in Liverpool:
- went last night to hear Mr. Beecher
speak. There had been glaring handbirs
posted about the streets to incite the passions
of ignorant people against him, such as quo
tations from the Iadepe'adent at the time of the
Trent affair. The house was densely crowd
ed, and the southern sympathizers appeared
to be in the majority, although many think
they were not. Never was public speaker
greeted with such an outrageous volley of
abuse and insult as was poured out on him
Yet he stood erect and bold as lion, and he
shouted out his words at the top of his voice,
as it was absolutely necessary he should do
to be heard at all.
i" His New England accent in certain wor Is
was minicked, to the great amusement of his
opponents. Wooden hams and nutmegs were
cried out against him, and all sorts of insult
ing questions were screamed out, but he went
on without regarding them.
4" never was an admirer of Beecher be-
fore, but am now. a man who can stand
up IN foreign country, before thousands who
thoroughly detest him and his cause, and
speak as he spoke, is certainly something of
hero"

Some Eminent New York Literateurs.

At pleasant little dinner party, at the
residence of a friend one evening, | had the
good fortune to meet group that, besides
Boston publisher and some other literary peo-
ple included Horace Greeley, n. P Willis,
Theodore Tilton, and Miss Mary L. Booth, the
translator of Cochin, Gasparin, parts of Les
Mserables, etc.
One could not help a little establishment at
noticing how young Mr.. Greeley and Mr.
Tilton were, and how old the perennial saver
of elegant things Mr.. Willis, was becoming.
Mr., Greeley certainly looks fresher than he
did five years ago, and it would be hard to
tell whether he or Mr.. Tilton (who is still
under thirty was the younger in spirit Mr..
Willis was suffering little again from his
throat and lungs and began as he said to feel
as if he were really an oldish man. After
third of century's prolonged and continu-
Gus literary success, he may we'll atfort to feel
so. Gen. Geo P Morris, his partner in the
Home Journal, is in exceeding feeble health,
and Mr. Willis is consequently compelled to
forego the delights of Idewid, and brace
: himself to more regular work IN the office on
his paper.
Mr. Greedy, in addition to furnishing more
than half the leading editorials of the Iri'
b,uo, and exercising general supervision
over its columns, preparing weekly article
for the Independent, attending to his multiform
professional and political cares, and spending
one day in every week in working on his farm
is finding time to prepare history of the
Rebellion-particularly l believe, with ref
erence to the progress of anti-slavery opin-
ion. 1t is to make two octave volumes, one
of which is to be given to the publisher in

One gets new ideas of the capabilities of
twenty-four hours, by noticing how this great:
est of living journalists manages to fill them
up. He was good enough, one morning, to
call for me to ride out with him to the school
a mile or so beyond the Central Park, in
which his daughter, charming young Miss of
fourteen or fifteen, is being educated. He
had already achieved breakfast, the newspa-
per and horseback ride, | not even my
morning toilette The ride over, he was off
to his q den" to work on his book then to

The Counsel of a Martyred Patriot.

From speech by Gen. W. II. LYLE of Ohio
who was killed at Chickamauga, Ca, made few
weeks prior to his death.
AMI told that Union restored by force of
arms is not worth having? Am told that if
the States now in revolt are whipped In fair
hght-beaten and Inundated they will be
unworthy and degraded members. of the
Union? We must have peace first, says
certain school of politicians, and then, if we
can, we will argue the South into recon
structlon. In other words, these gentlemen
would have the Government and the loyal
masses OF the country drain to the dregs the
bitter cup which they would dash from the
hands OF traitors and rebels The territory
you have occupied is to be abandoned, the
public property, the dockyardg and fortresses
you have recaptured after two years of war,
are to be surrendered, the victorious armies
of the Mississippi, the Cumberland, and the
Potomac, followed by the jeers and SCOTS of
the enemy, are to sneak, with arms reversed
and flags trailed in the dust, across the North
ern border; and your Government-the Gov
eminent Of Washington, and jefferson and
Jackson-is to cover, dishonored and dis
graced, a by-word and Kissing among the ma
tons. If the rebel armies Il will not say the
rebel States, for it is not against the States,
nor their constitutional rights, we wage war;
If the rebel armies, and the oligarchs who
control them, have their pride broken, and
their prestige humbled, let them blame them
selves. They have sown the wind, let them
reap the whirlwind, till the bloody problem
is finally worked out eye to eye, foot to foot,
sword to sword, bayonet to bayonet; if need
be, for ten years longer, with iron hearts, and
iron fleets, and iron hail, this generation of
loyal men will, by Gods grace, endure its
heavy cross, and until the broad daylight of
peace, and order, and victory shall come, will
stand to arms.

4 MILITARY REPUBL1C.-By the census of
1860 there were 27,00O,0 of white people
in the United States. Of these 10000, 900
belong to the loyal states, one half of whom,
or 10,000,0 900 are males Of these males "a
per cent. are between the ages of 20 and As,
making 100000 of our arms bearing popu-
lation. These loyal states have sent $780,
600 men to the field, or slightly over l to . !
of all between the ages of 20 to As! And
yet we have enough left to whip out the re-
bellion and carry forward the great interests
of the country, as if no war was on orr hands
1t was not thought possible that Republic
could be a military nation; but the fact as
now demonstrated is not the most encourag-
ing to foreign nations. All they have to do,
however, is to maintain a strict neutrality
during the war, respect our logis after the
war, and maintain decent respect for the
rights of the American continent, to insure
our peaceable disposition. ---

sc o for a tongue to curse the slave,
Whose treason like deadly blight,
Comes DER the councils of the brave,
To blast them in their hour of might
May lifes unblessed cup to him,
Be drugged with treach'ries to the brim-
With hopes that but allure to fly,
With joys that vanish while he sips
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye,
But turn to ashes on the lips
His country curse, his childreu's shame,
Outcast of virtue, peace, and fame,
May he at last, with lips of flame,
On the parched desert thirsting die,
While lakes, that shone in mockery nigh,
Are fading off, untou ched, untasted,
Like the once glorious hopes he blasted
And when from earth his spirit flies,
Just Prophet, let the damn'd-o dwell
Full in the sight Of Paradise,
Beholding heaven, and feeling hell ~

IHE REBELLION IN SAN DOMINGO.-Recent
and trustworthy news confirms the previous
reports, that the Spaniards, after the destruc-
ton of the town of Santiago De Cabellero,
the Spanish garrison, with 1000 reinforce
ments, retreated to Port au Platte The in
surgents SO harrassed their march as to cause
loss to the Spaniards of 1000 to 1920 in
killed and wounded.
Fresh arrivals of troops reinforced them to
1000 men. Yet even these were confined to
the town by the efforts of not over 600 in
surgents, the Spaniards not making single
effort to drive off their assailants. This con-
tinued till Oct. 3D. when the Spanish troops
retired to the fort, and the town was given
up to pillage. Part of the Spanish embarked
for San Domingo, reducing the garrison to
1900. On the 4th the Spaniards again pill
LACED the town, and the Dominicans then tried
a hand at the same game. Nearly all the hous-
es and stores were plundered and such con-
tents as could not be removed were destroyed.
Six hundred Spaniard5 then sailed from the
fort, and after severe fight drove the Do
minicans from the town. The Spaniards
were assisted by the guns of the fort, which
set fire to the town.
The fire continued till the departure of the
Santiago, DESTROYING amongst other the valua-
BILE stores of d considerable body of foreign
merchants. In fact the whole town, except
the Wesleyan Mission House and a row of
small buildings, was burned, and it was be-
lieved the balance of the town would be de-
stroyed The losses by two fires at Santiago
and Port au Platte will reach FIVE million
dollars The whole population of the latter
place had fed to foreign countries, and thou
sands had gone to the neighboring Islands

STANDARD says in the battle the Spaniards
were tel IDLY beaten and driven back to the
fort with the loss of $50 men. A brisk fire
from the fort compelled the Dominicans to
leave the town. The Government House,
American and British Consuls residences and
Roman Catholic Church were among the
houses burned.
The Spanish soldiers were seen going about
with frebrands in their hands when the fight
was progressing. Report said the Spaniards
would soon evacuate the fort, as they cannot
retain it against the Dominicans, who number
4 900 men in the neghborhood. The report
says the whole south of the Island is in actu-
al rebellion and the Dominicians who are re-
ported to have joined Santa Anna had desert
ed him. The American, British and other
Consuls had arrived at Grand Turk.

Our Home Trait0rs-DseOyery Of Startling
Rebel Plot in Ohio.


IN extraordinary case of treason has re-
Gently come to light, duplicating several per
sons in this city, Columbus, Covington and
Newport, in conspiring to release rebel pris-
oners at Camp Chase and overthrow the State
Government. The conspiracy was brought to
light by United States detectives, who were
supposed by the parties implicated to be spies
from the rebel army, and were treated with
full confidence.
The plot, as disclosed to the detectives,
was that an attack be made on Camp Chase,
release the prisoners confined there, number
ing $500, seize the arsenal at Columbus, take
possession of the pelntentiary, release John
Morgan and other officers confined there, and
then was to commence a rebel campaign in
Ohio. United States Marshal Sands and Pro
vost Marshal Reany arrested the following
persons implicated in the plot:
Chas W. Fl. Cathcart, of Columbus, for
merly School Commissioner of Ohio.
J. D., Cressap, of Columbus, formerly SUIT
Ter of the 18th Regulars, who were to lead
the attack on Camp Chase.
James D. Patton, Of Covington, a regular
agent of the rebel government, who frequent
" furnished money to detectives, under the
impression they were spies, and according to
agreement met Cathcart and Others at Camp
Chase, and assisted to mature the plan of at
tack. s@ , .@a--A-
Ruth Mcdonald, of Covington, who acted
as mail-carrier through the rebel lines, and
whose house was the headquarters of the
rebels.
Samuel P Thomas, merchant tailor of Gin
cinnati, and his wife and Catherine Parmen-
ter of Cincinnati.
Information was obtained that an organic
ton exists in Illinois, waiting for the out
break in Ohio to produce similar results in
that State Other particulars are known to
the authorities, but not yet made public.
