nSE- On election day two ]

ns- On election day two Irishmen
attempted to vote in Allegheny township,
Blair county, who Lad procured exemption
from the draft on the ground of alienage.
To get exempted, each one of them had to
swear that he had not been naturalized,
and that he had not voted. Yet, when
challenged at the election window as
aliens, each one promptly produced certif
icates of naturalization, taken out two or
three years ago. Three of the Provost
Guard happened to be at hand, and
prom pity arrested these American citizens.
They are now confined in Jail, and will
suffer the penalty of false swearing. OF
course il is very tyrannical and fraudulent
and a great abuse of the elective franchise
to tear these worthless from their families,
bat nevertheless Capt. Lloyd is determined
to put them through. These are two of
the gentlemen who say the soldiers have
no right to vote, &c.

Sherman.

Ali interest in the military situation
lust now is centered in the grand march
Of Sherman. lie has undertaken one OF
the boldest movements Of tins or any
other war. and if successful, his name will
90 down to posterity linked with those Of
Hannibal and Napoleon. Alter maneu-
verins Hood nearly two hundred miles
northwest of Atlanta, Sherman, leaving
Gen. Thomas behind with ample force to
take care of the rebel General IN any Of
fensiye movement he might make, has
prepared himself for new base and an
entirely new field of operations. He de-
s.royed everything about Atlanta thai
could be Of value to the enemy; tore up
his own railroad leading to Chattanooga,
and then, with a force Of fifty thousand
veterans, swung off and started on grand
expedition through the very heart of the
Confederacy. The particular point he
aims at is not positively known, but it Is
shrewdly supposed to be Savannah. The
latest news we have from him is through
rebel sources. By it We learn that he has
appeared before Macon, distant one hun
drsd and four miles from Atlanta. With
nothing to defend it but raw militia, that
city must speedily succumb, if, indeed, it
has rot done so already. Milledgeville
and several other important points are
also threatened by our raiders and what
with nothing but calamity, defeat, utter
destruction staring them in the face, Geor-
gia and the entire Confe1eracy are in a
delightful state o. disquietude. Sherman
will doubtless make it point to attempt
the release of the Union prisoners in the
Cotton States and arm them to swell his
ranks A report is current that he has
already released large number Of these,
but, although probable, it is not authenti-
Gated as yet. 1t is worthy of remark that
Sherman is without any considerable or
ganized foe on his route. Hood cannot
get away from Thomas, and Lee will have
enough to do to watch Grant; and Sc
Sherman will be utterly unopposed except
by raw and undiscirline6 militia. He
can scarcely fail to reach the ssa-coast
and without serious loss, and We will be
disappointed if we do not hear of hin
laundering at the gates of Savannah Oh
Charleston within a very few days. Once
at either of these points, he can readily
reinforce Grant, or be reinforced himself
But it is useless to speculate as to hi
particular purpose in this bold and bril-
liant movement, for few days must ne
cessarily develop it.

Organized Conspiracy to Burn
New York.

A regularly organized attempt to fire
New York city was made on last Friday
night, which was rendered wholly abortive
only by the exercise of the greatest cner-
gy. Not less than ten or dozen of the
leading hotels and other large buildings
were fired between the hours of 8 ard II
o'clock, and by these acts an immense
amount of life and property was put in
jeopardy. Fortunately the fires were not
simultaneous, and after the discovery of
three or four attempts had beeu made to
carry the fearful plot into execution, the
detective police obtained sufficient knowl-
edge of the affair to lead to the conclusion
that wholesale confagration was immi-
nent, and accordingly extra vigilance was
exerred by the police and Fire Department,
and the late fires were extinguished almost
Immediately upon their breaking out. The
story Of the atrocious conspiracy soon
spread about the city, and the greatest
alarm was felt among the people. About
IL o'clock the alarm seemed general In
the lower part of the city, and the citizens
searched their premises carefully.
There were two theories as to the mean
ing of the plot-for such it undoubtedly
was. One was that the incendiaries were
also thieves, who hoped to plunder and
pilIage during the excitement that would
certainly have followed the success of their
efforts; the other was that a rebel organi-
zation had concocted and entered upon the
execution of the outrage. The discovery
and arrest of woman from Baltimore,
whose movements were suspicious, seemed
to give clue to the mystery, and favored
the theory last mentioned.
In every case the fires proved to be the
work Of incendiaries, and the similarity Of
the work In all instances left no doubt that
one head controlled the business. Had
the conspiracy, or whatever VIC may call
tended, half the city might now be in
ruins.

RERpoNsE TO GEN. BUTLER's SPEECH.

RERPoNsE TO GEN. Buffers SPEECH.
The Richmond Wing makes the follow
ing response to General Buffers invitation
to ''ccme back :"
Come back, come back now,' he tells
US. 'anG quit feeding on husks, and live
with us on the fat Of the land But until
we want to associate with felons and out
casts, thieves, robbers and murderers, we
shall, we think, decline the gentle invita-
ton. Husks, after all, though not very
generous diet, will keep US for time, and
they are at least preferable to all the fat
OF Yankee land, if we have to live on that
in Yankee company. 1t was kind, perhaps,
in Butler to offer us the good things of
his country, but he ought not to have had
the impudence to offer to sit down with US
at the same table"
The Confederate Representatives do not
appear inclined TO return to their allegiance
at present, if one can judge from the tenor
of their debates. On the 2lst inst, the
following resolution, introduced by Mr..
Russell, of Virginia, was adopted by a
vote Of eighty-three yeas. no nays:
Resolced, That the House deem it
proper, in view Of recent events, to repeat
the declaration made by the last Congress,
in joint resolution, declaring the sense
cf Congress in regard to re-uniting with
the United States: That it is the unalter-
able determination on the part of the
people of the Confederate States-who
have suffered all the cruelties of protract-
ed war-that they will never, upon any
terms, politically affiliate with people
who have been guilty of an invasion OF
their soil, and the butchery of their cili-
zens.
Neither is the Georgia Legislature Sc
disposed to reconstruct. the Union, as has
been stated, if they expressed their real
sentiments last week, when they passed a
series o. resolutions complimentary to j eff
Davis, and defantly secesh.

uea According to a New York cores

nsA- According to New York cores
pondent of the London Herald, the much
talked of book on "Miscegenatfon" was a
great hoax, "written by two young gentle
men connected with the newspaper press
of New York, both of whom are obstinate
Democrats in politics, and was gotten up
solely with view of committing, if posi-
BILE, the orators and essayists of the Re-
publican party to the principle it enuncia-
ted, that Of the complete social equality, by
marriage, of the white and black races ="
AS the writer virtually admits, although
the book hoaxed everybody, it failed in
accomplishing its object, and the "Repub-
lican party" paid little attention to it,

General SedgWick.

General John Sedgwick, commander of
the Sixth Corps of the. Army Of the Poto-
mae, who lost his life in the skirmish at
Spottsylyania Court House on Monday, was
native of Litchfeld county, Connecticut.
and graduated at West Point in 1887: since
when he has been constantly connected with
the army. He was promoted for good con-
duct in the Mexican war; was appointed
Bligadier General Of Volunteers August 81, /,

A, 1862 He was severely wounded at Antic-
tam, and at the battle of Charlottesville, he
captured the heights of Fredericksburg, but
was afterwards compelled to retreat across
the river with heavy loss. Charges made
against him for failure to carry out the ord&s
OF his superior at that time, were triumph
aatly refuted, and on the late reorganization
of the Army Of the Potomac, he was assign
ed to the command of the Sixth Corps
General Sedgwick was man Of fine personal
appearance, Of more than average ability,
and OF an amiable character. He was sol
dier by taste as well as by profession; and
has during the war shown himself equal to
the responsibilities of the several important
positions to which he has been called. - Gin.

General Hospital, Camp Dennison, Ohio,
April 10th, 1864.
On motion, Orderly Sergeant f. Y. Da-

pointed Capt. T, X. Parkinson. Lieut.. n
P Caldwell, and Lieut.. L. A. Harvey. as a

Whereupon, the following Preamble and

WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased the Almighty
in his Divine Wisdom, to call from amongst
us our esteemed friend Samuel w. Morton,
of Company II, 18th O. V. G. Therefore,
ReSolued lst, That We the members of
said Company unanimously unite in condo
lence with the friends and relatives of the
deceased at home, and assure them that bit
tcrly as they may regret his untimely loss,
they have the mdicided sympathy of his
late comrades in arms.
ID. That in his death, Company II. has
lost one of her best members, and we all
deeply dcplore the occasion; but bow submis-
sively to the decree of the Omnipotent,
who doeth all things we'll
3rd, That his upright walk and conversa-
ton, his general disposition, his abstinence
| from vice and immortality, his accommada-
ting manners, and his strict integrity of
character won for him the respect and CON
tidencc of all with whom he was associated.
4th; That we hope, nag, we 6e'iere, that
the change to him is a happy one, and that
.'oT loss is his eternal gain. Those quail
tiles which endeared him to his companions
on earth, have secured to him final rostiog
place in Heaven.

Resolutions be sent to the friends of the de-
ceased, und also to the officers of the Harri-
son and Guernsey county papers for publ
