The Attempted Incendiarism In
New YOslk-.-Arrest Of Suspicious
Chnrac cterS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-It appears that the
woman arrested on suspicion of being con
cerned in the incendiarism last night ar
rived In the city but few days since from
Baltimore, and took room at the st. Mich
olas. Last night, just before the fire broke
out there, she went to the Lafarge House,
staid a short time and left Just before the
fire broke out there. She then went to the
Metropolitan and engaged room, the fire
breaking out there very soon afterward.--
Although closely questioned, she refused to
disclose the nature of her business here
Certain papers found In her room pointed
so strongly to man stopping at the Lafarge
House who was recently discharged from
Fort Lafayette on the ground that he was a
British subject, as an accomplce, that he
was also arrested. He was very nervous
and excited when taken, and disclaimed
any connection with the affair.
The manner in which the fires were pro-
duced showed preconcerted plot. In the
hotels the beds, clothes, trunks, &C., were
covered with phosphorus matches, which
were also scattered In the beds. The fires
were then set and the rooms locked. As in
the July riots, the thieves swarmed about
the hotel doors ready to rush in and plum
der when the fire was under way, but the
timely appearance OF the police prevented
this portion of the programme from being
carried out.
The panic at the Museum was intense,
but fortunately the fire was quickly sub
dued. The bottle containing the phospho-
rus was found, and Is like those used by the
incendiaries elsewhere. At the Winter Car
den terrible panic was created by some
person simply crying fire. The entire fire
department was aroused, and together with
the police, measures were adopted for the
safety of life and property for the remain
der Of the night.
The attempt which was really well plan
ned, has failed. 1t has shown what might
be done here, and elsewhere, and will in
spire increased vigilance throughout the
north.
This morning an examination of the As
tor House took place, to learn if any at
tempt had been made to fire that building,
when, on opening room No. 2O4, an i'm
mense volume of smoke poured out into the
hall; the fire had been smouldering through
the night. The floor was burned to a Gin
der, the bedding saturated with turpentnc,
the chairs placed in the bed and the bed
clothes thrown over them. The room had
been occupied by one person since the I'd
of October, and his arrest, it is believed,
will soon be made. The damage will
amount to about $500. A person In Lieu
tenants uniform, named Alison, who occu-
pied one of the rooms fired, was arrested this
morning. Arrangements have been made
to-day for protection against a repetition
of the incendiarism. Gen. Dix's order re-
quiring Southerners to register their names,
and which has proved almost dead letter.
will be strictly enforced.

Our ParoIed Men from Savannah.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-The correspondent
of the Baltimore American, under date Of
Annapolis last evening, says two of the
first vessels composing Col. Mulford's fleet
of transports arrived here to-day with the
parOled men from Savannah-the steamer
Atlantic and Blackstone. The former had
on board $40 living skeletons and eight dead
bodies. Nine others were buried on the
passage. Such was the wretched state of
these poor mon that our surgeons were
themselves appalled, at the awfuls sight. Not
man among the number but had to be
sent to the hospitals, many to leave them
only for the grave. The b50 on the Black
stone were In better condition, and made
the welkin ring when they landed.

REsURRECTIoNIsTs.-It seems that sys-
tematic exhuming of the dead bodies of
rebel prisoners buried at Camp Chase, has
been going on for some time past, in order
to supply Medical College at Cleveland
with subjects for dissection. An agent OF
the College from Cleveland it is said has
been in the city for some time, engaged in
forwarding this bushes, through the aid
of such persons as he could enlist in the
service. Among others, DR.. Flowers of
this city, is charged with being principal
actor in the affair. The Doctor, we un-
derstand, was arrested on Friday night by
the military authorities, and taken to Camp
Chase, and released on giving bail for his
appearance on future day.

STATE DEFENSE.

Now that the last raid is over and gone,
what do we mean to do? Are we to let it
pass as the idle wind which we regard not 3?
VIII we turn it to no more practical use and
account for our own future protection, than
we derived from the experiences of the same
kind which preceded it2 The habit of doing
nothing, after repeated yisitations of the sort,
10 prevent their recurrence, is not only absurd
but criminal A people who will not learn
the necessity Of making all proper exertions
TO secure themselves after such lessons as we
have had within the last two years and half,
who win not rightly improve their warnings,
richly deserve to be perpetually overun by
the Rebels and plundered Of all they have.
There can be no question that we could
easily have prevented every raid that followed
the first one. Nothing was needed but a
timely organization Of a powerful militia force
for home and border defense, and 1t is not ex-
trayagant to say that the raising and maintain
ing of such a force would not have cost more,
II as much, as the gross value Of the loss en-
tailed on the people, and the Government by
the predatory incursions which we have liter
any invited BY our want of preparation to
avert or resist them.
1t Is not necessary Just now and here to
inquire where precisely lies the blame or
