We have little comment to make on the
letters this morning published from our CORE
spondents with Gen. Butler. They show
clearly enough that the Rebels have assumed
the offensive, that Gen. Butler is within his
intrenchments across the Bermuda Hundred
peninsula, and that he must be content to main
tain himself in that position until Leo is driven
to summon part of Beauregard'S forces to bis
aid

as. May God grant US peace-Peace that
will make rs intelligent of our past ohen-
ces against Him, that we may atone for
them; peace that will give true comfort to
our hearts, by knowing that on us no evil
rests that gives Him cause of displeasure.
Let us give God thanks even for the severe
lessons which he has iaculcated most im-
pressively upon us through the troubles
by which He has afflicted US. But let us
never sanction by our acts anything that
will continue to offend Him; for this would
be a mockery of Him to encourage what
is evil and At the same time TO beg Him
not to consider our encouragement of evil
doings.E Our teachers in the hierarchy,
our bishops, encourage us, by their exam
pies and by their words, in these senti-
ments of love for our country; and they
transmit to us their right appreciation OF
its necessities in the day of its aflicuon.
May the Almighty-this is the prayer
which they exbort US to make-may the
Almighty, from whom all holy desires,
right couuseIs aud just works proceed,
give TO His servants that peace which the
world cannot give, that both our hearts
Deiug devoted to obey His commandments,
and the fear of our enemies being reno
we'd, our times, by His protection, may be
peaceful,

monday Morning, November 28.

THEEE is no telling what astounding
exhibitions of viliany any day may bring
forth. This morning we have the news
of an attempt TO FIRE and plumber the caty'
of New York. Happily the plot has fall-
ed for the present. 1t may soon, how
owe, develop itself there or elsewhere
AGAIN. The warning, coming as it does
A. the beginning of winter, should put
the police authorities of every city, IN
GLIDING our own, more closely on their
guard.
There may or may not be politics con-
nected with this incendiarism. The dis
patches leave every reader to draw his
own inference. We all know that the
Richmond papers have time and again
binted at such tactics, and that they
have explained how easy and how-tegi'i-
mate it would be to employ emisssries 10
fire the northern cities. Some three years
ago, just after the breaking out of thewar,
there were rumors of an extensive plot to
destroy the water works of various
cities and large toWns-including onr own
here-aDd not many months ago strong
suspicions we're entertained both at New
York and Boston that the works of those
two cities were actually being tempered
with in preliminary way.
The dispatches give prominence to the
arrest of woman from Baltimore, who it
seems is the chief operator in the New
York business. The fact Of her hailing
from Baltimore lends color TO a suspicion
that the Richmond rebels may be privy to
the attempted incendiarism in connection
with their abettors in Baltimore and New,
York. The re-issued order of Gen'l Dix,
requiring Southerners to register them.
selves, also goes to show what sort Of sus-
picions are entertained as to the plot. 1t
appears that the thieves were on hands in
swarms at the hotel doors ready to go in
freely. How far such characters can be
said to have any political sympathies
would, we opine, be difficult question to
answer. But still, it is obvious, that it is
from such class the rebels must choose
their tools and allies. Inceudiarism is not
undertaken by people who would not steal
and plumber also.
Whatever the elements that enter into
the New York plot it is uuquestiouably a
startling development. These are evil
times. Crimes of gigantic proportions
seem naturally to grow out of the abnor-
NAL condition of the country. Boats are
burned by spies and emissaries, and rail-
road traias are stopped or thrown off the
track and the passengers pluudered. A
scheme like the New York plot follows in
regular course.
