over the institution of slavery. What Vice

resurrected. 1t would take standing army to

called anti.slavcry, but ] try to Judge fairly

early in the rebellion that the North and South

A Lookout for Rebel Consp,raciss Needed.

We are reminded by the seizure OF the steamer
Chesapeake, of the conspiracy Of the captured
crew ofthe rebel ram Atlanta. After their cap.
turc, they, to the number of one hundred aud
thirty, were confined in Fort Norfolk, and
made request Of Colonel Ludlow, our com
missioner for exchange Of prisoners at Fort
Monroe, TO be allowed to take the oath of allie
glance and go North. The almost unanimity
of this request, and the varied nationality Of
those making 1t, aroused the suspicion of Col.
Ludlow, and the request was refused, and they
were sent for exchange within the rebel lines.
An investigation made by Col. Ludlow,
showed that this rebel crew, had their request
been granted, intended TO 20 North, TO ship
on different steamers, and when at sea risa
upon the officers, take possession of the vessel
and go on their piratical raids.

Onieisi H9nors Paid TO Chile, by tn
Government Of W ashingtou

We take the following from the NATIoNAL
REPUBLICAN "a Washington paper) of the 18th
Of September:
" To-day is the snniN ersary OF the independence
ol Chile.
e The estimable Mr. AsTtnuRvAUA, Minister ri
Chile, now residing in the house Of MIR. RIUUs, In
this city, was saluted this morning by the Marine
Band with the national HYMNS of Chic and ur tho
United States. We understand that this was done
by order Of the Government and in reciprocity fot
m analogous compliment offered in Chllc to our
Minister, on the ith of July last"
In fact, when our artillery band performed
at the door Of Mr.. Nelson the national airs OF
the United States last July, Colonel Escala
the chief of that corps, had the courtesy 10 send
TO Mr.. Nelson a magniacently executed copy
of the Chilean hymn. This was sent to Wash
ington by Mr.. Nelson, and hence it happens
that the Chilean hymn was heard on the 18th,
of September, on the banks of the Potomac,
and with the solemnity Of an official act
We have understood that this is the first time
that the Government of the United States Of
iers this token of sympathy and cordially TO
the representative of u nation, and II cannot
but be gratifying that Chile should have been
chosen for this first ovation.
Moreover, it is something noble and great, In
the present affecting state Of affairs of both
Americas, that each should salute the other on
the day Of its glory and its liberty. The fourth
of July and the 18th of September have appear
ed to mingle in one single date Of brotherhood.
God grant that the noble sentiments which
to-day unite the two most hourishing Republics
of the new world may, notwithstanding the
great disparity Of their resources, continue
developing and strengthening daily. To this
contribute powerfully the ideas of our people
and those represented and propagated in Chile
by the Hon. Mr.. Nelson, who is to-day tho
right man n the right place; that 10 to say, the
most appropriate man to represent in Chile, in
these days Of American conflict, the great
Republic of the North.

diplomatic correspondence, between this coun-
try and Great Britain, on the subject of the
Chesapeake, will take place, is this: Was the
leader OF the sellers of the Chesapeake regularly
commissioned by the so-called confederate gov.
eminent If he was, he was recognized by
Great Britain as belligerent, and our cruisers
had no right to capture him within marine
mile of the coast. If, on u,e contrary, he was
not so commissioned, he was a private and
could be taken wherever found atoat.
