CHICAGO, Nov. Z.
The journal says kilograms were received
by Hon, John Wentworth announcing the
coming of large number of busbwhackers.
Col. Sweet, commanding Camp Douglas, was
communicated with, and orders were at once
issued for the arrest of the desperadoes on
their arrival. The fact leaked out, and tho
faithful found means to apprise their friends,
and they left the train OF the city limits and
escaped in various directions. The military
and police are securing the city, and have
picked up hundreds of them. A propeller
with nearly 100 suspicious characters arrived
this morning from Canada. The military
and police are after them and oil will be cap.
tured.
Col. Sweet has for some time been aware
of u rebel plot to release the prisoners ut
Camp Douglas and burn the city. His DO.
tectves have been at work. and with success.
and though the evidence obtained is not sui
ficicntly conclusive to warrant tho arrest Of
all the conspirators, it was deemed necessary
to strike at once such ones rs were unques.
tionably reasonable. Capt. Nelson. Of the
city police. was dispatched to tho house OF
DR.. Edwards, to arrest Col. Vincent Marina
duke, brother of the rebel General. AT the
Same time det ,chment of the military pro-
cecded to the Richmond House and captured
the rebel COL Gestleyer Greenfield, Morgan
Adjutant General. and j. I. Shanks, who
are escaped rebel prisoners. B S Morris, a
man noted for his hatred to the North. was
also arrested. They arc now confined in
Camp Douglas.
In the meantime another detachment Of
the military invested the residence of Charles
Walsh, near Camp Douglas. Ills house was
entered, and portion of its contents taken
to the camp. Capt. Cantwell and u private,
named Charles Wavcosc, both belonging to
the rebel service. were there arrested MS spies.
In tho Walsh house were found two hum
dred stand of arms with all tho necessary am
munition. and two cart loads of large revolv.
ers, loaded and capped ready for use. In re-
gard to the arrest OF Walsh, Col. Sweet said
he had evidence enough against him to insure
his swinging for treason.
Col. Sweet had proofs in his possession
that II was the plan of the rebel conspirators
and home traitors to release the rebel prison.

camp was to have been attacked on two sides
to morrow night, tho rebels released, and this
city plundered and burned. simultaneously
with tho above arrests by the military, tho
police entered room adjoining the Mattson
House, and captured two largo boxes loaded
with guns concealed there. The police made
raid early this morning on the DOnelson
House, in Canal street, and captured forty
bushwhackers who had been tracked there,
all of them armed to the teeth.

The DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.-General
Butler is a Democrat. Everybody knows
that. He always was n Democrat-not only
that, but leading man in the party. He is
as much of Democrat to-day, we presume,
as he was when he went to Charleston in
1860, to attend the Democratic Convention.
Why not, then, nominate him at the Chicago
Convention He was often spoken of us n
Presidential candidate long before this war
commenced, and has frequently been men,
toned rs such since. Why not, then, we
say, nominate him? Do the Democrats wish
to succeed in electing their candidate II
so, they should act wisely, and nominate n
man that would stand some chance Ct an
election. No man on a "peace and disunion
platform" can succeed, or stand the ghost of
a chance Of succeeding. Are the Democrats
afraid of General Butler: Why should they
be. He is Just the same man now he always
was. We should not be afraid to trust him,
and to trust the interests Of the nation in his
hands, although we do not prefer him to some
be elected, we should greatly prefer him to
probable Democratic candidate. But if But
Ter will not do, why not General Dix He
has long been a Democratic candidate for
such nomination. He would also do. And
then there is Judge Holt, of Kentucky, also
lifelong Democrat. We should greatly
prefer him to the hero of the Chickahominy,
or the Governor of New York. Why not
nominate him? Unless the Democracy at
their Chicago Convention nominate one of
these three men, Butler, Dix or Holt, or some
such Democrat as they are, we shall think,
and the people will be apt to think, they are
either not loyal to the Union, or do not want
to elect their candidate.-IndianapoR Ga:.

CASNoN.-During the last winter we drew
attention to the fact that General Grant was
BY eminence entitled to the complimentary
epithet of the " cannon-taker," inasmuch as
he had taken more large guns than all the
rest Of our Generals together since the be-
ginning of the war. He is beginning to fol-
low up his old habit, having seeming han
kering after big guns, which, like other hab-
its, clings to him. This is new experience
to the Potomac army. 1t never took any
cannon before. The hard fight Of Gettys-
burg, with the Potomac to cross BY Lees
army, gave US only three pieces. Lee has
been hitherto not only careful, but lucky
with his batteries. He has seldom failed to
get few from US in every fight Of magnitude
since his taking command. Hence, many
thought we were to fare no better than before
in this respect; and for seven days Lee held
his prestige. He took four from US on the
first day Of the fight, and We did not for a
week get our pay for although some six
were captured on Tuesday, We were unable
to bring them off the field, and they were re-
taken BY the enemy. But Grants old luck
returned at last. Forty cannon by Hancock
and Wright at forenoon's haul are, it is be-
lieved, but an earnest of crop still to come.
And when an army begins to lose its guns at
that rate, it is veering fast to destruction.
Lees army will not long survive the loss Of
its artillery. Little but legs will then be left.

MINING SHARE MARKET-The Scientific
Press Of Saturday, says: "The Mining Share
Market has presented a more cheering as
pect during the past two days, and a renewed
confidence is evidently gaining ground The
receipts from the interior have not for long
time been better. Large orders have been
received BY telegraph within few days, for
investment on Eastern account, and many
parties who were anxious few days since
to become sellers, have now withdrawn from
the market. Notwithstanding the great de-
preston which has been encountered during
the past two or three weeks, confidence in
the ultimate value of our mining interests is
still mistaken. The panic through which
we have Just passed will not be without its
beneficial effects. 1t will prove, to a great
extent, pretty effectual check upon mere
speculative enterprise, and teach the great
mass of buyers to be more cautious in their
future speculations. 1t has already done
much toward impressing upon the public
mind the importance Of more economy in
mining operations, and the absolute necessity
of intrusting their interests to men of I'M
doubted integrity. Parties who have invest
ed with Judgment and Fdiscret ton have no
cause for uneasiness. Our mines were never
yielding better returns; dividend paying
companies are constantly increasing, and the
continuance of dividends already initiated
are, as general thing beyond contingency.
The sales the past week exhibit a most
gratifying improvement over those for sew
eral weeks previous. They foot up at the
very respectable figure of Sl,3l3,644. More
than double the sales of last week"

ELECTRO MOTIVE ENG1NEs.-Messrs.S to-
rer & Hancock, of Nottingham, have provi-
sionally specified an invention, which con-
sists in thus constructing electro-motive en-
gines: In suitable frame they fix a ring Of
magnets, which are charged with electricity,
from battery, in the usual manner, and in
side this ring Of magnets is fixed circular
rack or wheel with internal teeth. Upon a
central shaft, to which rotary motion is to
be communicated, they fix four or more arms,
each of which carries a wheel with six arma-
lures, more or less, free to reyolye upon an
axis, and upon this axis is also toothed
pinion gearing into the circular rack. Upon
the current being applied to the magnets in
proper order, the armatures are attracted, re-
volve on their axis, and carry round the arms
and shaft to which they are connected. The
power for any purpose required may be taken
from this shaft. In some cases, they keep
the arms carrying the armatures stationary,
and drive round the circular rack or wheel,
and take the power from it.

THE HICKORY STRIPE.-Andrew Johnson
in his place in the Senate, while his col

old Government. "Sir," said he, eff the

upon mere whim Of a State, this Govern
ment is at an end. am as much opposed
to strong, or what may be called by some
a consolidated Government, as it is possible
for man to be; but while am greatly op-
posed to that, want Government strong
enough to preserve its own existence that
will not fall to pieces by its own weight OF
whenever little dissatisfaction takes place
in one of its members. If the States have
the right to secede at will and pleasure, for
real or imaginary evils or expressions, re-
peat again, this Government is at an end +; it
is not stronger than rope Of sand; its own
weight will tumble it to pieces, and it can

EnIsc Indinn RumOrs.

QUITE an effort has been made Of late by a
number of ill-disposed persons in different
parts of the Territory to bring about hostili-
ties on the part Of the Indians, by represent
ing to them that it is the intention of Gen.
Conner, commanding this District, to cause
all the Indians 70 be removed to the Uintah
Valley and at the same time that this was
being done, reports were industriously brulted
around to the effect that actual disturbances
existed on the part Of the aborigines in three
different portions Of the district. A careful
inquiry then instituted, resulted in the dis
coyery that the reported instances of actual
outbreak on the part Of the Indians were ut
terly untrue; in fact that they had been pur-
posely manufactured out Of the whole
CLOTH" and in the development Of the fur
Their fact that though no difficulties had
taken place, it was by no means from want
of strenuous efforts used by white liars to
precipitate the Indians into hostilities BY the
constant iteration to the various bands and
tribes of the utterly false statement above
mentioned. The persons employed to dis
seminate such falsehoods are but cats paws
in the hands of others, who have an object in
bringing about such state Of affairs which
object, though it may not be at once so trans
parent to persons at distance, is neyerthe-
less clear and manifest here; and we can
only feebly express our utter detestation Of
the extreme want Of principle Of those who,
for the purpose Of gaining their paltry ends,
will thus resort to absolute and unblushlng
falsehood for the purpose; and what apurpose!
Nothing less than to let loose not only on
the emigrants (now coming in great num-
bers) the savage Indian, but to inaugurate in
the outer settlements j reign Of terror such
as has long hindered the development Of
Utah. Poor indeed must be the cause that
necessitates recourse to such lamentable pol
lev as this and the baseneSs Of the lie told in
this instance is but on par with similar
instances of shameless mendacity on the part
of the same clique.
Meantime we have to assure the people OF
the Territory, emigrants on the road hither.
and those interested both east and west, that
the Indians were never at any time better
disposed than at present; that means have
been taken to assure them of the falsity of the
reports spread amongstH them, and finally
that no one has any reason to apprehend
renewal of the outbreaks which have hereto
fore-and melted in nearly every instance by
the same men-rendered the mountains Of
Utah and eastern Nevada, dangerous to the
emigrant, the passenger and the settler. We
would further state that steps are being taken
to ferret out the parties Immediately engaged
in the nefarious work Of exciting the minds
Of the Indians by these and lies Of a like ma
ture, and that, when found, they will meet
with condign punishment.-UniOn Hedette.
