EFFECTS OF TIE LATE STORM

Noscby's guerrillas still haunt the vicinity
or the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, be-
tween Catiett's ard Fairfax. On Friday night
they surprised a small picket of the 10th New
York regiment, near Cstlctt's station, and tap.
,ured Charles Hatton and Win. Scructncr. The
reserve came up and pursued them. but thcr
escaped into the pines.
On Saturday, about ono hundred guerrillas
made a dash upon three commissaiy wagons
and two ambulanccs near Sulphur SPRING,
where the Third Pennsylvania cavalry had a
ompany On picket duty. The rebels were
lying hidden in the woods, and as the wagons
passed them they rushed out upon them, de-
,sehed the mulcs, and made of. They were
brskly pursued by the Third Pennsylvania and
other cavalry. which by this time arrived in
the vicinity, 10 a point near Thoroughiare Gap,
but by mean. of signals and the assistance
afforded them by the Inhabitants OH the route
all but flye managed to escape. We have q
strong cavalry force after the rascals in various
directions, and 1t will go hard but some o
them will be gobbled NJ.

GEN BANKS NOMINATED IN NNw Or
LEANS FOR THE PRESIDENCY
HE 10 IN FAVOR OF THE RE-ELEC.
TION DE- MIR LINCOLN.

HE - IN FAVOR OF THE RE-ELEC.
TON OF MIR. LINCOLN.
The New Orleans correspondent Of the New
York Herald, says. ,F.
An enterprising journalist Of this city has re-.
Gently thought proper to annouce the name of
Gen. Banks for the Presidency. This fact has
exceedingly annoyed that patriotic officer, who
has intimatcd that the state of the country de-
mands the services of her influential men at
this time in the high, noble aud patriotic duty
OF crushing the rebellion, rather than in the
premature work of President making. The
people of the country at large will make their
nominations for the Presidential succession at
the proper time, regardless OF the political ma
chinery used by men In power to create or
manufacture popularity for themselves, with a
view of stepping into the official shoes Of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
"Whcn the proper time arrives, Nathaniel
Prentice Banks, who has given proof of his
military capacity as well as profound states
manship, will not be disrcgarded. His well
known conservative views on the chief ques
tions of the day; his consistent, patriotic and
skiflul conduct as a military commander, will
not be forgotten by the people IL cannot be
charged to Gen. Banks that he entered the mil
itary service Of his country with any sinister
motives. lie commenced the study of military
science from an intuitive inspiration, years be.
fore the present war, and gave the first success
iul proof of his capacity by the reorganization
Of the militia force of Massachusetts when
Governor of that State. To his efforts In this
respect may be attributed the success of Massa-
chusctts troops and the development of many
prominent officers from that State now In the
field.
"By some uniformed persons, speaking on
superficial premises, this success has been at
tributed to Governor Andrew; but when the
fact is traced to Its source the honor belongs tc
General Banks. The commanding general has
an immense work before him, with limited
means for its accomplishment. Hence 1t re
quircs the utmost economy of means and sa
gacty of mind in the appointment of the Off
GERS and the distribution of his troops TO carry
out his plans with success. Hence, President.
making and lis prelimiuarics occupy no part
of his attention"
Since the name Of Gen. Banks has thus beer
mentioned in connection with the Presidency
we take the liberty to announce that we know
that he has unequivorally asserted that ii ID
alike due to the country aud to President Lin
coin that the latter should be reelected, and We
arc also certain that it is not the purpose o.
General Banks TO turn his attention from
the great and patriotic work Of crushing thu
rebellion and restoring law and order on oul
extreme Southern border 10 the ungraclous ant
ungrateful task Of seeking the Presidential
chair through politics. He is entirely satisfied
with the present Commander In Chief" aut
thinks IL is emineutly fitting that he be re
| elected.

Another Reported Secession. Plot.

BURLINGTON, W., Nov. 22.-Considerable
excitement was caused yesterday at the villages
of Rousc's Point and 81. Albans, by report
that a body Of secessionists in Montreal had
planned TO seize Fort Montgomery, destroy the
draw-bridge al Rouse's Point, and plunder
Plattsburg and Burlington.
Information OF such plot reached Governor
Smith and Collector Clapp, Of this port, on
Friday, and they Immediately took steps 10
communicate with the officer in charge OF
Fort Montgomery, who soon had his guns
manned and ready to give tho renegades a
warm reception should they make an attack.
THIS scheme Is probably linked with the
Johnson's Island project. Ample prcpara
tions have been made by Governor Smith tc

AID AND COMFORT FROM A GOVERN.
MENT EMPLOYEE.

The following paragraph, which We clip from
the Washington correspondence of the New
York Journal ot Commerce, will show how a
copperhead employee Of the Government, here,
makes it his business to nose about and pick
up material for his copperhead employer in
New York, to the disparagement of the Govern
ment. Here 1t Is:
"The papers inform us that the late colonel
of negro regiment, name omitted, has been
made a brigadier In the volunteer service. He
s now on duty in Missouri, and of course
should not be confounded with person of the
same name who, as an officer OF Massachu-
sctts savings bank, is said to have appropriated
the funds Of the bank to illcgitimate purposes.
And 1t should also be remembered that he is not
related in any way with defaulting assistant
quartermaster in Baltimore, nor with the pay
master who was recently carried In a state of
stupefaction to New York watch-house. with
81, 900 of Government money in his pocket; nor
to that other paymaster who paid out money
to everybody dressed in blue who asked him for
a supply"
The only remark We desire TO add to the
above is, that the Colonel alluded to, who has
rendered most gallant service to his country
should not be confounded with the author Of
the above paragraph, who last winter attempted
to obtain from the Government large sum oi
money by palmng oil upon Congress an old
and awfuly imperfect dictionary of names fol
an index of books, in which he would probably
have succeeded but for the fact that the ras
calty was exposed in the REPUBLICAN at thu
time, and was characterized on the floor of tn,
House US sirindle.

"SPoTTED FENER' At GIasBoRO'.-Abouta a
week or more ago mysterious disease showed
itself among the contrabands at Giesboro, a large

In the various improvements now going on In that
vicipity. On the frst appearance of the disease
but little difficulty attended cure, but more re
Gently It has assumed very yirulent form, defyirg
all remedies, and slmost invariably resulting in
death-from tive to ten dying almost daily.
The hrst symptoms OF the disease are a slight
chill, accompanied by painful or distressing focal
sensation either in the hand, arm, foot, knee, or
back. A stupor follows the chill, after which the
disease assumes Its most virulent stage. Severe
pain is felt in the head and breast great prostra-
tion Of the muscular strength attends almost inva

follows, and the tongue becomes black. The last
symptom oi the disease 10 that Of vomiting-s most
disgusting substance, resembling frees, being
thrown from the stomach. In from six to twelve
hours alter heing attacked, the disease generally
leaves the patient corpse.
The disease 10 believed to be what 10 known
among medical men as pneumonia iypfo'dcs, more
commonly called spotted fever" Though epi
demic it IL not ronts gious.
This disease became epidemic In the vicinity Of
Washington In the winter OF 1919, among reg

"The Palmetto regiment of South Carolina V ol.
