lneendIarIsm In New York.

The details of the attempt Of incen-
diaries TO fire New York City, add but
little to the facts already in possession
of the public, though if any have doubt
ed that 8 concerted effort was made to
burn the city, the circumstances that
are related show now distinctly that
there is no reason to question the fact
There were fires at the St James, ST.
Nicholas, Lafarge, Metropolitan, Love
JOY and Belmont Hotels, and at Bar
nuns Museum, all ignited by the use
of phosphorus, showing clearly concert
and preparation of the most guilty and
dangerous character.
In the room at the Belmont Hotel, in
which the FIRE originated, six bottles Of
PHOSPHORUS were found carpet-bag.
The excitement in New York is very
great The people of that city have
distinguished themselves by warming
the snakes of Southern rebellion in
their bosome The New York hotels
have swsrmed with traitors. That class
of guests will hardly be as popular
hereafter az heretofore They hav g
been looked upon by many foolish
people as rather select company, it be =
ing forgotten that one engaged in the
present rebellion is necessarily pre-
pared to commit any other crime. The
rebels are Of the very breed Of snakes
that would sting those who have be.
friended them. The New York World
says, in its account Of this affair:
The greatest indignation was ex.
pressed at the perpetrators of the fear
full act, and If one of them had fallen
into the hands of the excited crowd his
life would not have been worth a min

stories were afoat, and naturally enough

Some two weeks ago a man called
for the police headquarters, we are in
formed, and stated to some officer there
that he was direct from Richmond, that
be had formerly sympathised with the
rebels, but had became disguised with
them and that his desire was to put the
authorities of New York on their guard
against Just such an attempt as we
chronicle TO day, He said that he knew
that the sum Of $4,000 had been set

The rebel House Of REPRESENTATIVE,

The rebel House of Representatives,
on the 18th ult, adopted unanimously
the following resolution, offered by Mr..
Russell, of Virginia
Resolvsd, That this House deem it
proper, in view Of recent events, to re-
peat the views expressed in the resolu-
ton adopted by the last Congress, de-
clsring the sense Of Congress in refer
ence TO reuniting with the United
States; that il is the unalterable deter
mination of the Confederate States who
are suffering all the horrors and cruel
ties of protracted war, that they ViA
never, on any terms, politically affiliate with
a people who are engaged in the inva-
sion of their soil, and the butchery of
their citizens
This is positive; and We have no
doubt expresses the fixed determine
ton of the rebel leaders at present
They will "never, on any terms, politi~
cally affiliate" with the people Of the
United States, so long as they can
maintain the rebellion, and rule a sub
missive people They will change their
determination, by and by, and be glad
to affiliate in any manner with the "ba-
ted Yankee"
For the present, the Yankee must
take comfort in the fact that the rebel
House does not resolve that there shall
be no social utilization between US. Mr.
Russell, and his compatriots, have not
forgotten the good times they formerly
had when they visited the North-how
they were honored and feted-how they
appeared to be regarded really as the
master race" superior to ordinary
mortals, and ever TO be courted and
hattered They remember the grand
dinners, with the rich viands and the
delicious wines-the magnificent sol
rees, and the elegant dances the rosy
cheeks, the ruby lips, the bright eyes
Of lovely women; and they cannot
agree TO forswear these irresistible temp
tations forever. In this they are wiser
than thetlear girls Of rebels proclivities
here and in Memphis, who, when the
vandals came amongst US, chasing their
sweethearts away, and visiting US with
the horrors and cruelties" of war,
Invading our soil and butchering our
people" swore eternal hostility to blue
coats and brass buttons, only to repent
and TO fall at last into the arms of Yam
kee lovers The Russells will not have
TO repent; but when soundly thrashed
and made TO respect their old Uncle Sam
whom they have treated most shameful

The Situation on
our Front.
EiesYy Fight at Franklin.
Brilliant Repulse Of
Hood.
Rebel loss Five to Six
Thousand.
One Thousand Prisoners
Captured.

Yesterday was bright and beautis
full day, as balmy and pleasant as May
There was unusual stir and hustle on the
streets, and the sidewalks were throng-
ed with men and women, all apparently
eager 10 breathe the pure air, and to az
certain which were true Of the many re-
ports current concerning the operations
Of the opposing armies in our immedi$
ate front The rebel and the rebel
sympathizer were not less anxious than
the true hearted friend of the govern
ment, and appeared to feel more than
usual concern. The Union men, whilst
anxious, wore an aspect of confidence
such as VIC have never seen than wear
on the eve of events big with the fate
Of Cesar and of Rome" There are
many things that might be said, were it
proper, respecting the situation of af-
fairs in Middle Tennessee; but for the
present, we beg our readers, to permit
us to observe discreet silence respect
ing them. 1t is known to them that
the national army has fallen back sue
cessively from Pulaski and Columbia,
and that the enemy, elated by this
change opposition, has pressed forward,
asif eager to deliver battle; but that
there has been no fighting except the
slight skirmishes in front of and at CO.
lumbia. Both armies are now reported
this side of Duck River and it would
seem that Hood is determined to try
the issue at an early day, and not re-
mote from Nashville. If he really in
tends to carry out this design, we may
expect one OF the most decisive battles
of the war-one, we trust which will
make a quietus of this adventurer and
his hordes of traitors
From prudential considerations, the
running Of trains on the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad was stopped yes
terday. Numbers of Union men and
others from neighboring towns on that
road, or its vicinity, have come here to
avoid the rebel conscripting agents,
who conscript with vigorous brutality
The city is likely to be overrun, and
the military authorities have felt con-
strained to issue an order, which we
publish elsewhere, requiring all persons
unemployed 10 leave for Louisville.
P S. Since tipping the above, we
have been favored from Headquarters
with the following important dispatch
FRANKLIN, Nov. 80.

From Chattanooga and Relom.


The special correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing from
Chattanooga on the ODD ult, says:
During the past week our troops
under the direction of Major General
Steedman, have taken up all the rails
on the Atlanta railroad between Tilton
and Resaca. and burnt the railroad
bridge at the latter place over the Os-
tenaula River The rails, iron, and
other materials of value, have been
brought to Chattanooga Tilton is
station a few miles beyond Dalton,
which now becomes our furthest point
or outpost in the direction of Atlantq.
1t is thirty.eight miles from Chatta-
nooga, in a southeasterly direction, and
connects by railroad with cleveland;
Tenn, sll three places being connected
by railroad triangle, nearly equilat~
eral. Previous to leaving Atlanta,
Sherman's troops entirely destroyed the
railroad between Big Shanty and At
lanta, distance of 20 miles, and burnt
all the culyerts and bridges The
whole country from Dalton to Atlanta
is thus rendered unavailable and
worthless in military point of view,
and the railroad is totally impracticable
except for short distances, beginning
nowhere and ending in the woods.
About three days ago a large force
of Wheeler's cavalry appeared at
Villanow, small place few mills
west of Tilton, with the object of in
tercepting and capturing our last trains
from Atlanta, Alatoona, and other
places. Unfortunately for Wheeler, he
arrived too late-the trains were far
enough northward to be out of his
reach.
Gen. Steedman has recalled all his
troops from places beyond Dalton He
has strengthened his posts between
that point and Chattanooga, and is
now awaiting Wheeler's further move
ments. There are plenty of troops
here TO meet any emergency that may
arise from the rebel Generals opera
tons.
