where q large detail OF men were at work
preparing for future movement. Afler .
short inspection Gen. Grant returned to his
headquarters.
The fact of Gen. Grants presence in our
army soon became known. As he rode
along the men ran out Of their tents and
across the fields to have look at the little
man on the gray horse.' They seemed to
look on him with a feeling Of awe. Butthe
General was perfectly oblivious of the ex-
element his presence had created. He
chatted with Gen. Butler and pulled away
at his cigar. When one was smoked out he
took another from his breast pocked, and,
lighting it from the old butt, puffed away
again. His presence indicates strength,
heard to-day. the men have unbounded
confidence in him.-Cor. ". Y. HercM.
CONSPIRACY TO SEIZE THE CALIFORNIA
STEAMER OCEAN QCEEN.-The California
steamship Ocean Queen, on her departure
ult., took out 2l7 sailors, most of whom had
been transferred from the army to the
navy; and she had on board also about 500
passengers.
On the third day ont, about thirty Of the
sailors endeavored to seize the steamer
There had been indications of trouble pre-.
vious to this attempt, bat the men failed to
put their plot into execution.
It seems that these men had formed q
plan to seize the steamship. Their first OBJ
Tect was the killing Of all perssns who
should oppose them, and the conspiracy
her seizure on their own account.
The intention of the mutineers was to
take the vessel on the FIRST night after her
departure; but they had no engineer among
their number who could work her engines.
Threats Of violence had, however, been

On the day mentioned, under pretense
that they wished to go into the first cabin,
the mutineers attacked Capt. Tinklepaugh,
who would not permit them to do a. they
This was signal for combined move
ment of the conspirat0rs, and the men who
were in the plot acted under the leader
slip OF the most desperate of their mum.

The ringleaders advanced upon the Cap
tain and Commander Ammen, oftho Navy,
who had the sailors in charge.
The Captain, who had expected the dim.
Guilty and was prepared, aimed his revolver
at the head fthe foremost man, and warne
ed him that ifhe advanced a step further he
would lose his life.
The mut;neer, with horrible oath called
the Captain coward, and daring him 10
fire, sprang forward. Capt. Tinklepangh
kept his word. The bullet from the weapon
which covered the ruffian's head entered
his brain, and he fell, almost instantly,
expiring. te4l
The excitement among the passengers,
many Of whom were ladies, and also
among the mutineers. was at this mo-
ment intense. The latter rushed forward,
and the mutineer who followed the first
was fired at by Commander Ammen and
by three or four officers, among whom
was the Chief Engineer Of the Ocean
Queen. astf
The short distance from which these Of
ficers fired rendered their aim effective in
every case, and the mu:ineer fell, pierced
by five or ak bullets. H ~
Seeing that their plot was likely to fail
in consequence of the adequate prep0ra-
tions Of the officers and crew to defend
the vessel, the consrirators made NO fur
ther efforts. A few minutes after their at
tack had failed, they were disarmed and
put in irons. @t- 1Ik4 s5a 4G<
There was no further trouble ON board.
The dead mutineers were thrown iut0 the
ocean, and the thirty or more men who
were in irons were taken to Aspinwall, and
across the Isthmus. Eight, however, es-
capped, and another was shot. - 9G
