Information from Spottsylvania and
Stafford counties, Virginia, shows that
the rebel conscripting, officers are scour-

every man under sixty, and all boys
over fifteen years of age, are impressed
into the rebel service. A few days since
a party of these rebel officers captured
five men, who were conveying them to
the rendezvous, when two of them,
taking favorable opportunity, drew
pistols which they had concealed on
their persons and shot the two leaders
of the other party dead, when the rest
took to fight. Men are everywhere hi
ding in the woods and endeavoring to
escape to our lines. fredericksburg has
become so depopulated that it is estima-

1 There is continued exl ;tement
but not much additional development In
regard to the recent attempt to burn
New York. Two more of the incendia.
ries were arrested on Monday morning
and the police are on the track of the
others. The New Workers are thorough
ly aroused and mean to give the subject
careful and critical examination. The
man who planned the mischief, Lieut..
Williams Of the rebel army, left New
York Friday night. His business was
to plan and he left it with his agents to
execute. One Of the parties arrested is
reported to have had $4,000 in gold
with him, which was to be used in fur
therance of the plot. Maj. Gen. Dix
order in regard to the registry of south
erners is having good effect, and the
refugees that abound in the city are hur-
rying to Gen. Peck's office to relieve
themselves of the imputation of being
spies.

said in their favor. The Salt Rheum
