The New York 2r,bune quotes the Nc'es
in denunciation Of the suppression Of the
World and .journai Of rommerce and as
SCENTS to all that is said Then it quotes Il
London letter in same issue Of the Ners, in
which Mr. Seward is sluarely charged with
the rebel naval report forgery, &C., and
naivcly remarks:
We can't quito understand how it is that
the victims OF q iorgcr are severely pun
ishcd, while the daily utterances Of such
vlllainous, tr;itorous, and utterly preposter-
Gus calunnics, calculated to shake the very
pillars Of the State. 90 utterly unrelukcd.
Can any ono explain
Yes, easily. The New York Ne,es and
the Woods who own aud run il. are the
kept creatures Of abraham Lincoln and
William ii. seward 1t and thcy are play
ing an allotted part in the great conspiracy
by which McssrS. Seward and Lincoln hope
to retain power-lcading traitorous peace
party the odu,n of whose declarations and
proceedings is sought to be cast upon the
Democracy, and thus, as planned BY the
same cunning that trcachcrously stabbed
Henry Clay in A. seeking to keep the pco-
pie divided by loyal and "disloyaln dis
tinctions. Ben. Wood was once secured
immunity from arrest and incarceration in
Fort Lafayette by the Sewari-W ced polti-
clans Of New York, on agreeing TO attend
and to do his best to break upa Democratic
State Convention at Syracuse He did at
tend the Convention but failed in his Oh,
ject. Next Ben. Woods paper, the Mars
was supprcsscd but year ago it was per-
mitted by tho Administration to be revived
and It's appearance was simultaneous with
the great Peace Convention held in New
York, June Sd, 1863, prior to which Fer
nando Wood had been cosctcd with Sew
ard and Weed at the Astor House at which
Fernando Wood made speech celebrating
ten propositions dcnunca,ory Of the war in
every conceivable aspect and declaring in
favor OF peace on any terms and immcdi-
atcly after which Fernando Wood repaired
to Washington and was granted private au-
.ience with President Lincoln. All this nj
the very time that the country was watch
ing with painful anxiety the issue fGrant's
siege of NichSbnrg, and the enemy was
moving on his invasion which ended at
gettysburg! Can ''any one explain these
things upon any ether hypothesis than that
there Is pcricc; understanding between
the Woods and the Administration by
which its course Is regulated and its '.cal-
urnnes go utterly unrebukcd? If the
I16''fs can. consistently With the facts,
snggcs; any other. we shon,d very much
lihc to see it.
The n Y. N,rald Of Saturday, although
not referring 70 the TrijRats question, an
swors it substantially as we have in detail!
TnE Hon. BES. Wooo-lt is given out

assorted cargo ran into DeaslIman's Bay
about ten days ago, and came to anchor
she was soon boarded by 4 party OF tories |
and dcsertcrs, who helped themselves 10 I'LL |

hiking the ncighborhool. weighed anchor /
ana was passing out of tho bay when the |
vessel ran aground. The blockasiers. 500. |
ing her in distress, put out to her launches
when the crew, seeing them approach an
piled slow match to lot of powder IN ,ta
hold. poured turpentinc over the deck. set
It fire and put out to the shore. The Yam
KEGS coming alongside. boarded the vessel
and were hard ut work putting out the fire.
when the powder exploded, blowing the
