BrougIs's Last Proclamation.

GOV. Brough appears to have become IN
ficted with the conspiracy fever now ra-
ging to an alarming extent among the Abo-
ltion Governors Of the North We are not
aware of any suspicious movements on the
part of washerwomen in Ohio, such as dis
tract the added brain of Morton and the
sober head of Yates, but Brough perhaps
knows better He at least directs bonl-
bastic proclamation at an unheard of CON
spiracy, which we are convinced has no 9TH
er existence than i'll the feveriSh brains of
the Governor and his followers. If the
waSherwomen have not conspired it is not
Brough' fault, and his proclamation will
answer all the purposes Of ipdncng them to
plot. If Brough had Darlington at his
elbow, he would have better foundation
than he has for his portentions sentences
and laundering words, The people of Ohio
are not, we trust, so ignorant of the practi-
ces Of Abolition politicians as to be thrown
into a panic by this proclamation; neither
will they be thrown off their guard by an in
vitation to furnish preteXt for martial law,
or the exercise of more arbitrary power than
is at present exercised With ii proper
knowledge Of the real motive that prompted
it, Brough last will rank with his previ-
Gus pIoclamations-as proumc'omeut0 full
Of sound and fury, signifying nothing -

On Tuesday evening, while Mabie's me-
nagerie was on exhibition in this city, vio-
lent storm sprung up, which blew down the
pavilion, which Immediately took fire and
was nearly all consumed. The accident took
place in the midst of the exhibition. and
there were from one to two thousand peo-
plein the pavilion. 1t is impossible to des-
cribe the confusion which took place Men,
women and children were buried under the
canvas; but fortunately the center poles and
braces fell with one end upon the cages OF
the wild beasts, 50 as to allow large portion
OF the audience to escape. ..
The canvas of the north side was lifted up
bodily and carried over the heads of the all-
dience into the center of the ring, while the
top canvass falling upon the Kerosene lamps.
Immediately took fire, and at one time there
was a great danger Of many being consumed
by the disappearing flames; but fortunately
all escaped, and not man, woman or child
was seriously hurt. Such confusion was nev-
er before witnessed in this city. Men calling
Or their wives, wives for their husbands,
mothers for their children. and children for
their mothers--all was confusion.
Just at this time two cages, which had
been placed together for the purpose of
forming the den Of wild beasts, which Prot.
Sears enters during the exhibition, became
separated, and the back door being open,
out leapcd huge lioness; then arose the
cry of "a lion OUT" Then there was con-
fusion worse confoundcd, and ii stampede
took place. The keeper Of the lion caught
it around the neck, another man belonging
to the concern jumped into the cage and
threw the leopard (which being in the same
cage with the lion, was about to escapcJ
down in corner and held it while the by
ISLANDERS closed the cage The lion was put
back into the cage and all was quiet. No
body hurt. ."

Gdzcfte says:
Z fee days since meeting Of leading
men Of New England. Republicans, was
held in Boston, at which Secretary Fessen.
den and Senator Wilson were present. At
this meeting the conclusion was reached
that the war had arrived at that stage when
1t was absolutely necessary that, in obedi-
cnce to the general sentiment of the people,
something should be done to indicate a dis
position on the part of Government to dis
continue the war, and that for this purpose
necessary steps should be taken to tender
an armi>ticc to the rebel authorities.
The visit Of the Hon. Henry Wilson to
the President a few days since is understood
to have been to present those views and
urge tDem upon him. What the result Of
his mission was has not yet transpired.

in New England travelling over the most Of
It, says the sickest people of the negro and
the war he has met with this year, ha found

therefore, surprised that such a meeting, as
that stated by the Gdzette correspondent,
should have been held, nor that it reached
the conclusion, that the war had arrived ut
that stage when it was absolutely necess. y
that, in obedience to the general sentn,e,,
the pcople, something should be dshe to in
dicate disposition on the part of the gov

this purpose, necessary steps should be ta-
ken to tender dR oImaaicc to the rebel au-
thoritios. We are reioiccd to hear and to-
know that the general sentiment of the peo-
pie, not only in New England, but through
out the whole North, is for discontinuance
of the war. They are heart-sick of the
whole affair, conscriptions and taxes, war
and death, loom up before their visions, in
the future, and promise nothing but despair.
Why should Mt they be heart -sick2 Why
shouldn't they demand that arms having
failed, other means should be adopted to
conquer peace? Let the people, whose
toll and sweat will have to foot the gigantic
bills after the war, and who have to furnish
the flesh and muscles to carry it on 1ise ey-

TAxATIoN--It is well to keep in mind
lust how fast We arc going into the crushing
dilemma Of an impoycrish and tax-riddcn
people. The internal revenue taxes estilna.
ted by the new Secaetary of the Treasury,
Mr.. Fessenden, will amount to one million
per day. This added to the taxes, indirect,
paid i'll the shape of duties on imports will
make twenty-five dollars for every man in
the country to pay. And this in addition
to State, county and town taxes. We talk
about tax-ridden England, and yet our taxes
are already doubled the present taxation in
England Curse this country with anoth-
er four years of Black Republican nisrule
and tyranny, and Il lIree quarters of the real
estate of the North will be put under the
hammer to pay taxes.

HAIs's Well.D

From all the information we have at hand,
and we have not been idle in acquiring it.,
we can positively assure our Democratic
brethren that all goes well even here in old
Abolition jefferson county. We are max
ing gains every day, and by the time the
election comes around, if matters progress
as favornbly as at present, we will reduce
the Abolition majority to a merely nominal
figure. if we do not gain a!decided success -
They may think we are playing the game of
"brag, but when called to a show they
will, in our opinion, be surprised to find the
Democracy hold the winning cards, Peace

Exemptions and Details.

There is very plain distinction between these terms
but eueh is the disposition in these times to
found be authority OF the lawmakers with that Of the
officers entrusted with the execution OF the laws that
many persons do not 10 know the difference For
instance, We have been met several times recently with
the positive assertion that TIE Secretary of War had
issued order caucerg the contracts of all bonded
agricuurali5s and ordering them forthwith enrolled
for the field.
The mistake arises from the failure to observe the
fact that there two classes of bonded agrcuturiss

tions the las of January last, owning controlling If

the date specified, or having less number of hands

the authority given the President by Congress to
grant details in all where il his Judgment,
justice, equity and necessity require it," There
s also given him in the same act to "revoke such
ordsrs of details whenever he thinks proper" This,
therefore, is the class G. bonded agricuursts whose de-
tails said in some in have been revoked
The power that grants detail Can revoke it, but no
power except Congress can revoke exemption
