The Conspirncx Humbug.

After all intelligent citizens and res
pectable Journals have repudiated CARING
ToN's great conspiracy as humbug and
imposition-after the Presidents personal
organ, The New York Times, has ridiculed
it, Captain HURTS Journal comes out with
five or six columns of tho stuff, and an ed
itorial proclaiming it as freshly discover
ed ''infernal plot" CARRINGToN has found
two papers in Ohio willing to swallow his
discovery-the poor old Cincinnati Gazette
and The State Journal; both these papers
are working up the ''plot'' for the purpose
of precipitating the State of Ohio into civil
war. But it will not work in Columbus.
CARRINGToN is too well known here to Sc
cure many dupes, and too generally despis-
ed as chicken-hearted, fussy, foolish BOBBY.
A Brigadier General guilty OF the indiscre-
ton of befouling his regimentals at the bare
prospect of being called upon to 20 under
the fire of rebel guns, is a proper person to
get up plot with which to excite and
scare such feeble and nervous old women
as control The Cincinnati Gazette and The
Columbus State Journal.

ImperiaI Troubles i'm Mexico.

Macmillan OF Austria is not getting on
very prosperously in Mexico. Like form
er Emperor there, he finds himself not ex-
actly reclining upon a bed of roses. The
civil war, which was to have ended, as by
magic, at his august approach, RACES as be-
fore. The Juarist forces refuse to acknowl-
edge Napoleon's nominee, and continue
to tight the French troops whenever they
can find them, frequently going to the
length of beating them. The armistice
which has been proclaimed has not been
accepted. The Imperial proclamation OF
pardOn Ito all but those who have killed
French soldier or burned place occupied
by the French) has been equally UNDECIDED.
The Emperor finds himself isolated In the
capital. His wife, charming young lady
only twenty-four years old, daughter of
Ieopold of Belgium, and grand daughter
of Louis Philippe, formerly "Citizen-
King" and great humbug in his way,)
languishes for amusement and society," she
has no female friends or visitors, no balls
at which to play the Empress, and ex-
hibit the latest fashions from the Place
Vendome; and, worst of all, as the revenue
does not pay the expenses, there is dliii-
Guilty in obtaining remittances from the
loan in Europe, for which this revenue
was the guarantee, and Maximilian mas

committee to inquire into the causes OF
this fiscal failure. 1t would be untrue to
saw that this condition of affairs surprises
or affects us. On the contrary, cause and
effect are visible in it; we see the moral
retribution which generally Furnishes mis-
doing even in this world. Macmillan,
several weeks before the French expedi-
tion went to Mexico, had accepted the fu-
ture throne of that country, republic at
the time, and which Napoleon, in one OF
his proclamations, said he never meant to
mcddle with. The compact between these
two conspirators, Napoleon and Maximil-
ian, really was conspiracy to which AL
mont, Miramon, and other Mexican traitors
were parties also. When Maxlmllian re-
ceived the Mexican deputies, last october,
pretending that his selection by the pretend
ed Assembly of Notables was an entirely un-
expected honor, he was ahypOcrite and a liar
for he knew that Napoleon had arranged all
that with him before even French transport
sailed for Mexico. And when the same Maxi
milan said to the deputation, 81 must make
nv acceptance Of the throne dependent upon
plebiscite of the whole country" he again
was untrue, for he reigns In Mexico with
out ever having had public vote as to his
doing so. The plain truth is. we believe,
that this needy Austrian prince, owing
$2000OO0, for which his creditors unpleas-
antly pushed him, was glad to give them
leg bail by escaping to Mexico nominally
as Emperor. AS things are now advancing
in that country, no monarch living holds
his position by such an uncertain tenure
His Glowing subjects" are generally against
him, and the country does not pay taxes
sufficient to detray the everyday expenses
of the new Empire and of maintaining the
| French army who uphold it. '. D.

Mr. Cobb Of Alabama in Nashville

On Sunday evening last, the Hon. r. w
B. Cobb of Alabama arrived in Nashville
bv the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
An officer who accompanied the gentleman
made requisition on Capt. Crane, A. Q. NJ
for an ambulance for Mr.. Howell Cobb, and
the report soon spread abroad that we had
possession of Major General Howell Cobb
of the rebel army. The gentleman and his
attending officer rode to the City Hotel
when the former registered himself, "R. w
B. Cobb, Alabama--Ka the latter be.
ing in the column of the hotel register head
ed destination" A man may have at the
present time good and sufficient reasons fol
leaving Alabama, but why a member OF the
rebel Congress should prefer Kansas to the
locality from which this one hailed, ever
though badly stirred up by Rousseau's raid
was a mystery to all who knew anything
of the feeling existing in Kansas agains
members of the rebel Congress. I'D
| MIR. Cobb's appearance, too, was singular
| ly remarkable, and attracted general atten
| ton. He is a tall, spare man, with Ions
hair, on this occasion combed back over hi
| head, without any respect for the style o
parting in vogue among the followers o
| Fremont, Lincoln or anybody else, excep
| Madame Pompadour. He wore a summe
| suit OF linen--probably, from its appear
ance, the suit Of 1861. 1t dated anterior t.
| the blockade, at any rate. He carried
huge linen haversack, such as are in vogu
among the rebels, and had it well filled
\ custom not so general among the rebels

Summer, in need Of repair. .w yliWe
Mr.. Cobb is now member of the rebt
Congress. He was held by Rosecrans lal
year in large bonds not to take his seat II
ti,rofessed and processes still, to be a UDio

AbouiaIonists Threatening 10 As-

Deacon GRAY used to be a Democrat pus
fat salaries and Abolition offices quite up
set his little mind, and he Is now one OF tne
craziest Abolitionists in the country. lie iS
now Quartermaster in a negro regimeh''
and is agonizingly loyal. The Deacon is Is
afflicted with the chronic "writin ltch'
and his brilliant productions generally ap-
pear in Capt. HURTS Daily over MS own
signature. In HURTS State Journal ol
Tuesday there is letter from the Deacon
In which the following enthusiastic para
graph occurs on the peace question;
like the spirit of the Major in command
of the Goth Ohio. When in his presence the
question was presumptuously asked, .Snal
we eventually have to compromise, He
turned with Il whitening look and SAID, u
entered this campaign with over 500 men
today I can muster 1872, and tell you thai
II the President hints ever at compromise,
there are 1872 assassins in my command
ready to march, solitary and alone, to the
White House." We pish our friends a
home had this spirit-'tis the spirit Of the
Federal army, who bear the burden.
The idea of one hundred and ninety-two
assassins marching "solitary and alone" to
the White House, is a Deacon Grayism
which may be overlooked, in view OF the
atrocious character of the purpose intima-
ted in the extract. Here is Major in the
army who declares his readiness to assass'-
nate the President of the United States In
certain contingencies; here is Quarter
master who expresses his approval OF the
spirit of assassins; and here is loyal pa
per publishing the murderous proposition
without mark OF disapprobation. This is
the basest ingratitude in Captain HURT,
whom the President has mercifully allowed
to escape the punishment attached to the
highest offenses. Although President OF
the United States, Mr.. LINCOLN is snota free
agent, and dare not do what 1t is clearly his
duty to do, without being assassinated by
his own soldiers! There is food for reflec-
ton in this audacious threat of murder tc
both the personal friends and the political
enemies of President LINCOLN.

This war is now the Presidents war-not
the PEOPLES. The People want the old
Union-for this they gave their sons-for
this the voice of lamentation from homes
and firesides has gone up all over the land.
But ABRAHAM LINCOLN is not satisfied with
this. He declares the war must go on until
States rights are surrendered, Slavery aban-
doned, and the Southern people converted
to his peculiar ideas. The war is the Pres
