-gas-Information received here confirms sus'
picions of a. widespread conspiracy in the
Northwestern States to inaugurate armed re-
%sistance to the government. Crawford coun-
ty, Ohio, the Headquarters of the gang of but
ternuts, has been placed under martial law,
and other Counties of thar State will probably
soon be put in the same position. Ohio,
Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois con-
tain the principal portion OF these incipient
rebels. whose leaders only await a disaster to
the National arms, to give the signal for re-

Pope tells us of the miser whose thievish
fancy thinks he hears the night-mans foot
approach, and starting alarmed at nothing,
grasps his yellow gold. So with abolitionism
Conscious of having destroyed the best gov
eminent that ever existed, and placed the
yoke of oppression upon the necks of & once
free people, they start with guilty alarm at
the rustic of a leaf, and shrink from the gage
of honest men with a ''look that hell might be
ashamed Of" 1t is nothing but their own
shadow-the ghosts of some midnight cabal
ofsecret Union Leagues, whose treason-fume
have diseased the abolition brain. This So
called "copperhead conspiracy" is a matter OF
apparent great trouble to abolitionists, and
they use the falsehoods for a base purpose.
1t IS a very easy matter to imagine the exist
ence of a conspiracy wherever it may suit abo-
litionists to place it. and to send troops to the
locality where it is asserted to exist-thus
using q cloak with which to intimidate the
Democracy whore they are weak, and put
them under the military arm of the govern
ment where they are strong. We warn the
Democracy that this is the object. The men
in power will take this meaDs to station q mil
itary force in every Democratic stronghold in
| the North, in order to carry the election next
fail. 1t is a part of a deeply laid abolition
plot te retain the power in their own hands.
When troops are sent into localities for this
purpose, the only thing for the democracy to
do; Is to demand their removal. If they are
not then taken away so as to permit a free
election, they should be driven away, if it
costs the life and property # every man in the
country. The attempt to thus deprive the
people Of their rig hts at the ballot box will be
made by the abolition usurpers, and must be
the Democracy swear upon the altar of their
country hat they will permit no intimidation
in this manner upon so false a pretext,-DaS-
son 5 H. .Woyne Times.
The report that Crawford county had been
placed under martial Law has since been con.
tradicted, but the Ohio State Journal mystic
riously remarks "that coming events east their
shadows before" This will then probably
not be done until it is necessary to control the
Presidential election when armed troops will
be stationed in every town, city and hamlet in
the Northern States, and all declared under
martial law through q %prctence Of a copper
head conspiracy.

The Dinerence.

The massacre of white soldiers at AIustee,
in Florida, some time since, in pursuance of
the Presidents instructions to reclaim that
Stare was not near so DISTRESSING to Abolition
scnsibilities, as is the calamity the other day
at Fort Pillow. The reason of thisi is that the
former disaster fell principally upon white sol
dicrs, while the latter barbarity was inflicted
upon colored ones. The only trouble which
the former oscasiored our Abolition philAn-
thropists, was for them to find some scape-
goat to blame it upon, in order to save the Adj
rninistration from censure. At length Gen.
Seymour, en- officer in command ct Alustee,
was selected to bear tie blame. But this oH-
Ger is not willing to bear the blunders which
belong to other shoulders, and he very plain
~ says so. He was denounced as being not
ouly a military blunderer, but what was worse
an admirer of slavery In a Letter, in reply
to these charges the General Indignantly and
manfully observes
"Pro-slavery seEtiments-eyen in q moder-
ate form-I never entertained. But l de-
spise aud scorn the hypocritical and sanctimo-
NOUS philanthropy OF some who are fat:ening
personally, pecuniarily, and politically-up
on the wrongs of the black, but who have
been ve:y careful never to set him an example
on the Dattle field"

"Some will tell us that all these are signs eff

that trading men are making large profits, and

inflated with the same signs of prosperity in

Deserters from the rebel army say Lee is

A letter was received to day from Admiral
Porter which proncunces Banks recent ex-

thirty pieces of artillery. a large quantity OF
small arms, several hundred wagons, a first

percede0 by Sick!es is untrue.
WASHINGTON, April 90.
All the calculations as to the intended move
ments of the Potomac array ara utterly IN
reliable.
1 see Grant keeps his plans to himself. and it
is not known at the War Department when
Grant intends to move upon the enemy.
1 could give facts, if they were not contra
band, which would prove that there will no
be a battle for ten days to come.
1t is known here positively that Beaure-
gard, with a large body Of troops has arrived
at Richmond and is momcntarily expecting
the appearance Of one or more strong FEEDER
al columns.
Two refugees from Georgia arrived here to
day. They say that on the 18th of last month
the rebel Authorities issued an order prohibit
ing all citizens from riding on the railroads
from various points in tho South, leading to
Richmond in order to facilitate the move
ments of troops, which are being hurried up
TO Richmond in large numbers, They say
large bodies of troops are on their way to re-
~iDforce Lee, and the arrival of every train at
that place increased their numbers. At the
time they left Augusta. Georgia, which was
some two weeks ago, there we're no troops
stationed at that point Those that had been
quartered there were withdrawn q few days
previous and sent to Richmond.
Admiral Porter's dispatch to the Navy De-
parment says that two of the fleet at Grand
Ecore are above the bar and not likely to get
away; that the rebels are cutting off the
of water by diverting the different
sources into other channels; and that the de-
feat of our army at that point was a terrible
disaster. ~ .

To the Point.

A contemporary after noticing the c~oolness
of some individuals in asking the printer tc
publish long and prosy resolutions, obituary
notices, advertisements of benevolent enter
prises, &c, without offering or expecting to
pay any thing therefor says:
Until we find teachers who teach gratis;
butchers who furnish steaks and roasts With
out charge; lawyers who counsel without fees;
farmers who donate their wood and produce,
&C., we decline being ia the list of printers
who print without compensation.

as@-We near that two daily passenger trains,
each way, will be run on the Atlantic & Great
Western Railway, on and after the 10th of
this month. This will be a great convenience
TO our travelling community, as we will then
undoubtedly be able to make much better con-
~nections with other roads than at present. A
large portion of the road from Gallon to Ak
ron is already bafiasted, although the work
had to be prosecuted during the storm of the
late inclement winter, but from this time it
will proceed much more rapidly. All the sub
ordinate officers of the road seem to have par
taken of the energy and determination that
have characterized the managers of it.
