PLOTS ON FOOT.
Conference of Secessionists and Copper
heads in Canada.
NIAGARA FALLS, July 16, Isl

NIAGARA FALLS, July l6, 1864
The opposite side of the river is itIst now
the scene of active conferences between
prominent secessionists from Southern States
and active sympathizers with secession in
the North. Clement C. Clay, of Alabama,
Jacob Thompson Of Mississippi, formerly
member of Buchanan's cabinet, Beverly
Tucker, once United States Consul at Liv-
erpool, George y. Sanders, of Cosmopoli-
tan and miscellaneous notoriety, together
with sundry other gentlemen of the same
political position, but less notoriety, are at
the Clifton House, where they are visited
from time to time by prominent Democrats
and others of secession sentiments-whose
names do not care just now to give.
There can be but very little doubt that the
object OF this gathering is political-and in
deed no secret is made by the parties con-
cernes, in conversing with persons in whom
they have confidence, of the particular pur
poses they have in view. They are endeav-
oring to devise a basis for the action of the
Chicago Convention which shall accomplish
two objects at once, end tie aCar dndsectre
the triumph Of tie Democratic party. In
other words, the secessionists are seeking to
frame platform for the Democratic party
In the coming election.
l have been told that Clay and Thompson
do not assume as yet to speak for the sece-
ded States-but they hold out very strong
hopes of getting the assent of those States
10 the propositions they put forth prouided
the Democratic party will pledge itself in
advance to accept them as the basis of its
political action. What these propositions
are, L am not authorized to say, but | be-
lleve they embrace:
l. The return Of the seeded States to
the Union.
2. The assumption of the Confederate
debts
3. The recognition of the freedom of the
slaves actually emancipated in the progress
OF the war, and the status quo ante bellun
as to all others.
1t the Democratic party of the Northern
States will insert these planks in its plat
form, these secession emmissaries hold out
hopes Of being able to secure SO general
an assent to them in the South, as to give
the party great strength in the election by
promising the restoration of peace. Wheth-
er they have any authority to make such
pledges, | do not know. | am inclined to
think that they have not, puU UIas Jnelr
mission is purely voluntary, and that its OBJ
ject is to give aid and comfort to the Dem
ocratic party in the coming contest.

'The Golden Circle" "

The Golden Circle and other secession
organizations have called a mass convention
to meet at Peoria, Illinois, on the Sd Of Au-
gust next. Among the signers to the call
are several lrecognizedse secession copperheads.
The Chicago Times, rank copperhead states
distinctly that this call eliminates from "a
State secret organization, not connected, as
such, with the Democratic party, bm the
members of lChich act aCith the Democratic
purity. The Chicago Post, a war Demo
crat paper exposes the character of the or
ing simply rebellious We quote:
There is party in this country in favor
of peace ON any terms. There is a party
in this country who want peace now;
who want to stop the war at its present
stage, and who want the Union to be dissol-
we'd now in the vain delusion, that in the
gene. al wreck Of things that would follow,
the people would, as an escape from anarchy,
be led into the formation Of another Union,
with new Constitution framed as our con-
quering and victorious neighbors might die
tate. There is such party in Illinois, and
early in August they propose to hold a pub
lie meeting in Peoria in this State. where
they will ventilate their peculiar doctrines
and give expression to their determinations
for the future. With free speech and free
press these men would be powerless among
Intelligent people; but they profess to be
Democrats, and call themselves the Demo
cratic party. They have increased in num-
bers because their organization has been a
secret one within locked doors, and asso-
ciates bound not to diyulge the proceedings.
They have lavished themselves into fury,
and have arrived at the conclusion that the
the rest of mankind were as foolish as them
selves. Seeing no one, admitting no one
but the initiated to their deliberations, they
have increased their numbers by thousands
who would not dare to appear in public in
connection with such an organization. Their
being but one side to all their discussions,
and there being no opposition to their prop
ositions, they have concluded, that they
represent the moral and political sentiments
of the whole people. They at last propose
to hold public meeting. and that is to be
held at Peoria. There they intend, if pos
sible, to scare the Democratic party into
their measures-to hold the threat of de-
fection over the Democratic party with
view of Coercing it into political declara-
ton of hostility to the prosecution of the
war for any purpose.

Qualifications of Substitutes.

The uncertainty which the Provost Mar
shal Generars Office has thrown over the
subject of the eligibility of substitutes for
service in the army is being gradually re-
moved. A few days since we noticed an
order declaring that for persons not liable
to draft, who desire to present representa-
tive substitutes, any one. whether liable to
the Draft or not, would be accepted. A re-
cent order defines the qualifications for sub.
stltutes for drafted men or those who are
furnished in advance of the draft. The
latter must not be liable to military duty,
and must make the oath that they are ex-
empt from the draft by reason of alienage,
or having served two years in the United
States Army or Navy since April ID, 1861;
In such cases certificates of exemption will
be granted to the principal for three years by
Provost Marshal Of the District in which he
resides, on receipt of the oath and enlist
ment paper of his substitute

Commerce Speculation.

The Boston Traceler says there are about
one hundred and fifty ships now in that
port, for which there is no business except
the coal trade; that there are one hundred
vessels on their way to Boston from distant
foreign ports with large and valuable car
goes; some of rhe articles are for the man
ufacturers and are wanted others, such as
groceries, fruits and luxuries, are not want
ed, and will find dull market. Says the
Iruueler Vast quantities of goods are
piled up in our warehouses, that will not be
wanted thiS year, and if the holders wish to
realize, we advise them to ship them to Eu-
rope and sell the exchange at present high
rates We can tell them that there is going
TO be such diminution in consumption as
this country never saw, and holders at pres
ent prices will have to look at their casks of
sugar, chests of tea, and bags OF coffee, for
many month before they see the pile di-
minish much The Trareier urges that
the whole community must be Determined
that prices shall come down. - Let our
banks, suggests that journal, refuse to
discount a note that will enable parties to
hold up still higher merchandise. By rig
idly adopting this course, they will help the
whole community, and before the rigOrs Of
another winter set in, We shall see many sta
pies at one half their present prices. There
Is no lack of coffee, tea, sugar and molasses,
and many other foreign goods; our impor

1t is stated that there are at least seven
large manufacturers from Germany now in
New York preparing TO enter largely into
the manufacture of fine wooden goods, such
as have heretofore been made exclusively in
Germany. As these efforts to extend the
manufacture of fine goods in this country
are pushed forward, the demand for fine
wool will increase and the price improve ac
cOrdingly.

men who are strangers to most of the cor
porators and to the locality interested. In
Harrisburg, practically, the Senator and As
semblyman of the respective counties do all
its legislation, as no other likes to oppose
whatever they may ask of local business.
This section would transfer it to other. bet

the nature of things, best understand each

the responsibility thus brought to the right
persons. Petty interpretations could be
more cheaply, honestly and satisfactorily
obtained, under general than under special

It has been alleged the ID and Sd Amend

voting against them, would complicate vot

Discipline of the Rebels.

Persons who particularly observed the
conduct of the Rebel soldiers while they
were in the vicinity of Washington city, are
unanimous in the opinion that they were
excellently disciplined and obeyed their Off
GERS in every respect with wonderful alacri-
ty The following anecdote illustrates fully
the feeling with which the Rebels regard
their Northern sympathizers. One of this
latter class asked a Rebel officer if he made
no distinction between the property of Union
people and that of the friends of the confed-
crate cause? 'Not at all, y he replied I'VE
take from our Northern friends and sympa--
thizers even more freely, because we feel
that they would specially desire to contribute
to the good cause of the South.
Rather clincher, that reply

A Singular Incident.

The Boston Gazette tells the following
story:
Twenty years ago gentleman of this city
resolved to remove out West, and started
for his destination In New York he stop
ped at a second class hotel and while there
was robbed of a parse containing some S2,-
600 in gold. In the course of his perigrina-
tions he was successful, and had forgotten
all about his loss, having accumulated a
handsome property When the war broke
out he was too old to enlist, but feeling pa
triotic, he offered his services to Gen. Lo-
gan, and acted as Quartermaster to bri-
gade. One night, on the march, the army
arrived at small town in Southern Ala
bama, and according to orders he took pos
session of the inn for general headquarters.
While talking with the landlord he dis
covered that he formerly kept hotel in
New York, and, upon pressing his inqui-
ries, found that he was the identical land
lord of the house in which he had been rob
bed. In the course of the evening he ar
ranged mock courtmartial and brought
the landlord before it, charging him among
other things with the robbery. Much to
his surprise the landlord confessed the rob
berv. and he had his choice to restore the
money or die at sunrise. The man received
his principal, and all the interest the land
lord could afford TO pay, in gold, which the
gentleman invested in United States 7,30
notes.

A Brave Oayalryman.

: Andrew Myers, of Company NJ, Thirteenth
Pennsylvania cavalry, having got separated
from his regiment, left Washington city on
Wednesday to rejoin the same. When sew
eral miles from the city, he came upon two
Rebel soldiers whom he took prisoners by
presenting revolver to their heads and de-
manding their surrender He brought his
prisoners to this city and handed them over
to the Provost Marshal and on Thursday
morning again started on his journey, but
had not proceeded far before he overlook two
more Johnnie" whom he took prisoners
also and again returned to Colonel Ingra-
hams office, where he delivered up his
charge. Friday morning Myers made yet
another attempt to overtake his command,
but, strange to say, when between Tenally
town and Rockville, he fell in with four men
of the Rebel stragglers, whom he ordered to
about face, and march to Washington.
Myers accompanied his prisoners to the city,
where they were committed to the Old Cap
itol, to keep the company of those previous
ly captured by the dashing cavalryman.

Appearance of the Sun from the North Pole.

Appearance of the Sun from the North Pole.
To person standing at the north pole the
sun appears to sweep horizontally around the
sky every twenty-four hours without any
perceptible variation during its circuit in its
distance from the horizon. On the 2lst of
June it is 230 2S< above the horizon, little
more than one fourth of the distance to the
zenith, the highest point that 1t ever reaches.
From this altitude it slowly descends, Its
track being represented by Il spiral or screw
with a very fine thread, and in the course OF
three months it worms its way down to the
horizon, which it reaches on the 23d OF Sep
tember. On this day it slowly sweeps a
round the sky with its face half hidden be-
low the icy sea. 1t still continues to de-
scend, and after it has entirely disappeared
it is still so near the horizon that it carries
a bright twilight around the heavens in its
daily circuit As the sun sinks lower and
lower, this twilight gradually grows fainter
till it fades away. On the Goth of Decem-
Der the sun is go 2S> below the horizon,
and this is the midnight of the dark winter
of the pole From this date the sun begins
to ascend, and after time his return is her
aided by a faint dawn which circles slowly
around the horizon, completing its circuit
every twenty four hours. This dawn grows
gradually brighter, and on the Goth of
March the peaks of ice are gilded with the
first level rays of the six-months day. The
bringer of this long day continues to
wind his spiral way upward, till he reaches
his highest place on the 2lst Of June, and
his annual course is completed.

AMUSING INcIDENT-Charles Gates, a
minor son of VIM. K. Gates, Of Lee, Mass,
wished to enlist, three years ago, but his pa
rents objected to it. One morning he was
sent to drive the cows to pasture, on his way
to work, taking his dinner with him. But
at night he did not come back, because he
had run away and enlisted in the 10th regi
ment He remained through the three
years without furlough, and returned with
the regiment unharmed by rebel bullets.
He arrived in the old pasture at home one
night last week, just at 'cow time, and he
leisurely drove up the same old cows, as if
he hadn't been away for three years. His
reception was a joyful one, none the less
so as his coming was a complete surprise.
