The Baltimore correspondent Of the Post,
in recent letter TO tl,at journal, gives the
following important information

The purpose Of these conspirators is, to

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. d

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. l :
IL az, ra CoLUMBUs, Feb. o.
A few days since, Basil Duke, who has
been at Camp Chase on parole for the past
two or three weeks, expressed desire to be
taken back to the Penitentiary.o He urged
this with SO much persistency as to lead Gov.
Brough and General Heintzelman to suspect
that Re had some other object in view, than
simply . return to his old quarters in the
prison. Precautionary measures were imme:
diately adopted, and the Governor very soon
had the satisfaction of knowing that his plans
were successful. They unmasked deep
laid scheme on the part of the rebel prisoners
to attempt an escape. The rebels plan was
brihy to overpower, the guard when they We're
in the hall, as they have been permitted to-
be, and force their way through at whatever
cost. They had armed themselves with
knives which they had stolen from the tables
from time to time, and sharpened for the
work. These knives have stout blades fo1r
or Eve inches long, thick backs and heavy
wood handles, and, when ground down to a
sharp point and edge, as these were, make
ugly and formidable weapons, They had pro-
vided themselves with files, one Of which
was ground so as to serve as screw driver,
and one of the men had nearly completed a
wooden key, which could be used, if necessa-
ry; but their plans were for short and
bloody work. LII
/ Yesterday was the day set apart for the at.
tempt, but to the surprise of the prisoners,
they were not permitted their usual freedom.
At breakfast they were taken to and from
their cells with double guard. In the after
noon they were taken out siDgly and searched
in the presence of the Warden and Governor
All bore the search with tolerable composure
except one of the Morgan brothers, who lost
his temper. The guard, observing that Nor
gan stood lightly upon one foot, suddenly
jerked it up and pulled off the boot, when out
dropped file. This caused the Kentucky
horse-thief to indulge in profane language. :
The knives which we're thus collected are pre-
served by the Warden as trophies. 1t is not
proper to state how the rebels came into pos
session of some of the tools, nor how the
plot was discovered and frustrated. The re-
suit is that hereafter they will be more close
ly watched than before. Gov. Brough has
ordered that the ordinary prisoners be re-
moved entirely from the west wing of the
building. and the rebels placed in possession.
The rebels sharpened the knives by rub
bing them between the stones in their cells
Hereafter their meals will be served them
there, and they will not see anybody but
their guards. As rising among the prison.
ers at Camp Chase was also in the programme.
Gen. Heintzelman stationed double guard
there last night.

nw Brick Pomeroy, whose noted musk
rat came to time so handsomely this winter,
makes arother prediction about navigation in
the summer. He says: .'
ave shall have but very little more cold
weather this winter-a very early opening of
navigation higher water in the Mississippi
river than before since the spring of 1851,
when the water was higher by 26 inches than
it has been since. This mark will be reached
again this season, and there will be plenty Of
water for navigation the entire summer and
fall We do not ask the public to place reli-
ance on our predictions, but so far for q year
past they have been VERIFIED" "a ..lgsI
