The Chicago Journal of Tuesday eve
contains further details of the rebel plot
against Chicago The following interest
ing facts are culled from the Journals re-
port.
AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO ARREST.
Our report of therebel conspiracy against
the peace and s1fety of the city, in yester-
days issue, covered all the main facts and
a full exposition of the plans of thOs9 en-
gagged in the work OF jeff Davis and his
agents. Later in the day well known
gentleman informed the police that some
twenty-five or thirty suspicious individuals
had been seen in the vicinity OF the pack
ing houses at Bridgeport, whom it would
be we'll toarrest. Detectives Sherman and
Kenny wore immediately detailed for that
purpose, and proceeded thither with a
horse and buggy. Tkere they alighted at
Prout's saloon, and, up stairs, found dozen
"butternuts," who incontinently fed down
another stairway. The officers pursued
and collared two of the gang.
At this the others drew their revolvers,
as did one of the prisoners, who, in the
scuffle with the officer, managed to escape.
The other was hustled into the buggy, and
the officers deeming it unsafe to attempt
further arrests without assistance, drove
back 70 the city. Upon their arrival at
the Central Station, and making their
failure known, a posse officers was dis
patched to arrest the others, but when the
police arrived at Prouts the entire gang
had disappeared. The fellow captured by
Sherman and Kenney gave his name as
Patton, and said he resided in Coles ooun-
ty, and had came here to visit his rela-
tives.
FIFTY MORE BUTTEREUTs CAPTURED.
Notwithstanding the fact that the sym
psthizers with the rebels had telegraphed
to their friends that it was unsafe for
them to come here at present, q squad of
| fifty arrived from the South last night and
were captured by the authorities as soon
rs they had left the cars. They were all
Immediately consigned to Camp Douglas
to await the progress OF events.
WEAK AND cowARDLY sUBTEREUGEs.
The rebel organ of this morning at
| ttempts to ridicule the whole thing as an
electioneering lnsneuver, but with an ex-
ceedingly wry mouth. 1t barely aIudes
to the arrest of General Walsh and
Judge Morris; claims that the captured
Marmsduke was somebody else and that
the arms discovered in Walsh's house,
were the old arms of the defunot "Em-
met" and "Shields" Guards. Unfortunate
~ for the plausibility Of the last statement,
it is too well known that the military Or
fganizations did not drill with double-6Gr-
relied fOlolislg pieces and navy revolvers
heavily loaded and primed.
In fact the Times was placed in q sin
gular quandry. If it boldly defended the
rebel r,61Sers and their abettors in the city,
1t was Iikiy to be considered pGrtieeps
ertRstHis in the transaction, and held re-
aponsible in measure for it. If it said
nothing, or said anything against the raid
ers, it would have had to quarrel with its
best friends, and run the risk Of an fin
parchment in the confessions of the
scoundrels. So its present course, weak,
miserable and cowardly as it Is, was the
only one left. Its transparency is its
greatest virtue.
MORE sREvELATIoNs-wHAT "GEEERAL"
CHARLEs WALSH SAID.
"Brigadler General" Charles Walsh
stated at the Invincible Club rooms, on
| Saturday, that ne had ordered several hun
dred of the "Sons of Liberty from the
southern part of the State, who would come
here for the purpose of voting that they
should receive them as brothers, entertain
them Hospitality, and DO everything to for
ward their designs He cautioned them
against challenging too freely at the polls,
because "yote may challenge yO'sr friends
they aolL Uot5 many times"
MARMADUKE FULLY IDENTIFIED.
Tho rebel organ this morning labors
hard to deny the identity of Marmsduke.
Perhaps It is not aware that he wrote q
note to Colonel Sweet yesterday, Ia which
he 81 ned his name Vincent Marmaduke)
and requested an interview. The Colonel
went down to Camp Douglas and saw
Marmaduke, who, instead of denying his
completely IN the plot, treated the matter
very philosophieally, as though he were
determined to put the best face on very
bad job.
