MORE OF THE IDAHO ExECUTIoNs.-From
the Salt Lake Union Vedette We collate the
following additional particulars relating to
the recent wholesale executions at Bannock:
" For long time the roads have been rem
dered unsafe in consequence of the highway
men ranging the country, and the Committee
was the only resort Of bullied, robbed,
murdered community. Henry Plummer was
arrested BY the Vigilantes; and in his pos
session was found paper giving list OF the
whole band and a record of their proceed
inps. There were some IS men on the
list, thirteen have been hung or killed, and
the Committee is in pursuit OF the remain
ing seventy. Plummer, when he was execu-
ted, cried ike a child and begged for life
Most, if not all the culprits were avowed Sc
cessionists and in their chaste lingo, bloody
rebels Boon Helm, one of the worst OF the
clan, was hilarious and boistefous just before
execution, and as he swung off, hurrahed
for jeff Davis in the most approved rebel
style. When the Committee attempted to
arrest Spanish Frank, he fortified himself in
cabin, and killed one man, Geo: Copely,
and wounded another. The Committee then
brought small howitzer to bear on the
cabin, blew the top of, killed Frank, and
then after throwing him on the ruins, set fire
to the whole concern. One Judge A. P. H.
Smith formerly of California; and Mr..
Thomas, who had acted as counsels for the
culprits, were ordered to leave the mines
within twenty-four hours. They took the
hint, and we understand are now in this
Territory. Some of the outlaws left sudden-
" and it is surmised will soon be in Salt
Lake City. We rather think they will keep
quiet while in this vicinity. II they don't
they had better go back to Bannock. The
summary action Of the Vigilance Committee
has now, it is believed, freed the country of
the bandits, and travel and treasure may
now be considered safe"

DEFENSE OF SAN FRANCISCo.-The San Fran
cisco Aha makes the following showing of the
means of defense which San Francisto has against
rebel attack: A distinguished naval officer, with
whom we cOnversed yesterday, scouts the den Of
an attack on San Francisco even in the present
condition Of our harbor defenses by the Anglo
Chinese pirate fleet, with the Alabama thrown ill.,
Our commerce would be, for the time, utterly par.
alyzed by the arrival of the pirates on our coast
but beyond the destruction of peaceable merchant
vessels perhaps the capture Of Panama steamer
or two, and the burning of some of the small de-
fenseless villages on the coast, above and below
mischief enough, in truth-ther whole feet could
effect nothing. The old Steamer Narragansett
alone, carries double the guns and twice the weight
of metal shown TO be on any one of the reported
coming fleet, and il q match for any two of them.
the Alabama alone excepted. Our present and
prospective naval force IN these waters available
for offense and defense, Is follows In the port
of San Francisco-Side-wheel steamer Narragan-
sett IL guns Qarge caliber): Shubrick. guns /;
at Mare misunderstanding Monitor, l gun; at
Panama or cruising along the coast-Steam sloop
Lancaster p guns tirst class; side-wheel steam
err Saranac, 9 guns; side-wheel steamer Saginaw,
guns; sloop Cyane, l8 guns; sloop st. Mary's y
guns; storeship Warren. 2 guns. The last three
and the Monitor tug would be Of no value what
ever except for harbor defense. The following
are in pursuit of the Alabama: The fast and
powerful steamer vanderbilt guns anu the
screw sloop Wyoming, 6 guns. On the way here
from Fortress Monroe: The new double-end IRON

THE EEL FISHERY OF COMMA
CHIC.

At the mouth Of the River Pc lies the
Italian island of Commachio. 1t is said by
an investigator Of cells, that at Commachio
the natural history of the eel can be studied
to advantage, and all the fancies connected
with its growth-including that grandest
fancy of all, which, as children, we have all
so devoutly believed in-viz. that hair from
horses tail will, if long enough waited for,
become an eel-can be at once exploded
Indeed, there can be no doubt, that this tsh
like all others, is generated just in the usual
way. But it is curious enough that, whilst
the salmon spawn in fresh water, go
down to the sea to live, the eel spawns in the
sea, and desires to live in fresh or brackish
water. 1t is this fact that has made Com
machio. The fishery there has been founded
on the migratory habit Of the eel; and what
was once large marsh has been so taken
advantage Of and remodelled, as to admit Of
being converted into great focus of indus
try. 1t would require plan, however, to
convey accurately to the reader an idea of
the apparatus of sluices and canals which
have been contrived to admit the fish from
the sea, and conduct them to the various di-
visions of the lagoon. They are very inge-
NOUS, and suitable for their various pur-
poses.
AT the proper season for the ascent of the

less millions of the small threadlike creatures are
seen pushing their way from the sea into the Ia

fishermen, having been, Of course, allowed TO

THE WAR PLANS.

The Federal and rebel armies are nearly
I" all quiet" as "on the Potomac" The
winter, or the expectation of it, has laid them
up, and, with the exception of cavalry and
other small commands on skirmishing ser
vice, army movements do not indicate active
war. The great campaigns of the fourth year
Of the war will soon open, but we can form
no conclusion with respect to the Federal
plan Of spring work. As to the rebel plan
it is said to be almost definitely fixed, and
that, so far as it relates to the departments
Of Tennessee and Georgia,
"The first object il TO raise the number Of the
rebel Gen Polk's army from $1,000 infantry and
cavalry to 5000 or 40 900 men Of all arms. This
force will enable him to make a forward move
msnt upon Grants rear-a movement which
would seriously sudangrr his position, and com
pei him to delay his advance into Georgia The
operations Of Gen. Polk upon Grants rear are TO
DO followed by corresponding movement OF
Longsfreet In East Tennessee. The latter, in
stead ofmarching upon Knoxville, will, in accord
anee with thu new programme, give up that city,
and advance directly upon Nashville by way OF
Huntsville. Jamestown, Livingston and Carthage.
II he succeeds In reaching that point unimpeded,
he will take possession Of the railroad leading to
Chattanooga and effect his junction with Polk,
who l. to wait for him either at Fayetteville,
Winchester or Stevenson In this way, q portion
of East South and Center Tennessee will be in
possession of tho Rebels, who will improve their
and enlisting all the ahle-bodied men they may
