Rebels of Norfolk. Va. Plotting
for the Capture of the City.

A well-laid scheme has just been detected
for the betrayal of Norfolk, Va, into the
hands of the rebels. Col. Boyer, acting Mill
tary Governor at that post, receiving some in
nation of the project, caused the arrest of a
secesh woman named Hozier, as she was en-
barking for Suffolk, her home, in the handle
of whose parasol was found, after minute dis
section, a long compressed roll of paper, upon
which was an extremely minute description
of our forces, with the exact number at each
point, the best mode of entrance and exit by
which certain captures could be made. The
plan contemplated, in short, capture of Nor
folk, pointing out the ways which it could be
done, and giving encouragement to the rebel
soldiery to make their appearance at an early
day. The intercepted documents were ad-
dressed to the commander of the Confederate
forces on the Blackwater. Miss Hozier had
evidently been delegated torun them through
the blockade, and have them forwarded to
him for whom they were intended-she and
others of her sex having been mape the me-
dial tools of willy men, to perform that
which they themselves were 10th to do
Other parties besides Miss Hozier are imph-
Gated, several of whom have been arrested and
are now in custody.

The weather here is settled, warm and
pleasant. -
The First Kansas battery, Capt. Allen, is

Burnside's Order 81.

The action of the Illinois Copperhead Leg
islature, in relation to the suppression of the
Chicago Times, will send a glow of delight
through the languishing blood of the rebels
confronting our armies in the South. For
the first time since the commencement of our
national struggle, have the reasonable views
and designs of its enemies, attained so strong
and undisguised an expression, and but for
the belief that these Representatives"
of the people are acting in utter defiance OF
the sentiments of their constituents, and
that their action, so far as it is at war with
the policy of the Government, will be Sc
verely repudiated, we should reasonably be
alarmed at the possible consequences of
their official protest against the wholesome
measures of Gen. Burnside, endorsed as they
virtually have been, by the President.
The Chicago Times, as is we'll known, has
been the most persistent, bitter, and unblush-
ing in its assaults upon the Government,
presenting from day to-day arguments for
the consideration of the people, whose prac-
tical results can be nothing but violent oppo-
sition to the enforcement of the laws, and
particularly to the conscription act. That its
course in this respect has not earlier engaged
the attention of those in authority has long
been a standing wonder, and now that meas
ures are being actively taken for the enforce
ment of the consciiption act, the success of
those efforts, no less than the safety and dig
nifty of the Government, positively demanded
that this incendiary voice should be hushed.
It is not the wish or intention either of the
Government or of Burnside, to interfere with
political organizations or to abridge the lib
erty of individuals, unless they are clearly
and fagrantly exerted to aid and encourage
the rebellion. The very spirit of sedition
which has-and not for the first time-mani.
tested itself in the Democratic Legislature Of
Illinois, is the most convincing evidence Of
the mischievous influence of the inspiration
on which its members are accustomed te
draw. ..- l.
There is nothing in Burnside's Order "a
nor in any other order Of his, which need dis
turb the feelings of any loyal man. If trait
ors, wincing under the stroke, make 1t tn
occasion to acknowledge and exhibit thel
treason, let the people, in accordance will
the dictates Of patriotism, be prompt to stig
matize and to punish. 49,.
