Ma. j. J. BINGHAM, editor of the India
napolis Sentinel, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central COMMITTEES of Indiana
and member of the order of "Sons of Lib
erty," has made full aud voluntary con-
fession of his connection with the treason.
able plots OF that Order, to the military
commission at Indianapolis. he duplicates
Dodd, Harrison, Mr.. Jacobs, DIR. johnson,
Yandergrift, Bowler, Built and others
says the programme included general up
rising fthe "Sons of Liberty" in the North
west; the assassination of Gov. Morton
and the release of the rebel prisoners a,
Camps Morton, Douglas, Chase, and on
Johnson's Island. .,..- * ,.s-fs
On the I'd of August, Dodd called upon
him and requested that he, as Chairman o.
the Democratic State Central COMMITTEES
would issue a call for mass meeting on
the 18th of August, and at the same time
announced that it had been determined
by the council of sixteen ,tQ embrace the
opportunity of the mass meeting to inaug-
urate the revolution. Bingham refused
to issue the call, whereupon Dodd sent a
person ofthe name of Mod onnal dto eudeav-
or to persuade him to comply with his re-
quest. Bingham learned that Mcdonald
was ignorant of the plans of Dodd and his
cO-cOuspirators and thereupou informed
him. 1t was agreed to issue a notice of a
barbecue, but Bingham did not inform the
authorities of the intended uprising, be-
cause he thought they knew it, and he did
not wish to ipjure the prospects of his
party in the election. " '-
Built, and other prominent members of
the Order, were arrested in consequence of
the notice OF the barbecue, and the other
oOnsPirators left the State; upon which the
execution of the plot was deferred. BinR-
ham was requested, by Walker, to meet
the rebel officers, who were to assist in
the release of the prisoners, at the Bates
House, Indianapolis, and inform them that
the intended revolution was postponed
Bingham's confession further shows the
connection that Dodd, as Grand Command
4 er, had in the scheme for revolution. The
council of sixteen consisted OF four mem-
bets from Indiana; four from Missouri;
four from Illinois, and four from Kentucky.

AboIItIOn BY the Rebels.

This war is working out the destiny of
the negro in the United States more rapid
~ than was to have been expected. EV.
cry day slavery Is practically abolished
with reference to some hundreds OF men,
women and children WhO-eseape to our
lines. Every advance of our troops into
the enemy's country sets free thousands
more. If jefferson Davis's word 10 70 De
relied on-and We presume that on zach
a subject he would speak the truth-the
South has lost two millions of slaves since
the war began. The new constitution OF
Maryland sets free at once between eighty
and ninety Thousand slaves. The whole
number of negroes still held in slaVary in
the United States cannot exceed two mil
lions. Estimating the slaves at an ave-
rage of $500 in gold, which was about the
right rate before the war, and we have the
slave property lost to the South about
one thousand millions of dollars. But the
value of the slaves remaining is much de-
precisted. They would now probably not
average one hundred dollars in gold. So
that the slave property which, before the
war, was worth about two thousand mil"
lions of dollars, is now worth only about
two hundred millions. ~
There has been Congress OF the rebel
governors of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi, to consider the desperate con-
dition of affairs in their States. The chief
subjects of discussion among them were the
condition of the Southern army and the
expectancy of employing the negroes in the
army. II is almost certain that it will be
determined to arm the negroes. Indeed a
late letter from Richmond to a Southern
paper says that arrangements are now be-
ing made to arm for the spring campaign
100000 slaves, whose masters are to be
compensated by the Confederate govern
ment. The slaves thus armed are to
have their freedom and fifty acres of
land, each of which ensures them perma-
nent homes in the South.' Here we have
practical abolition on stupendous scale.
Among the two millions of slaves remain
ing at the South there are probably not
more thnn three hundred thousand men fit
for military duty. So that this step taken
by the rebel authorities really deprives
their States of all their black laboring
men. They are to become soldiers and then
freemen. Whether their wives and chill.
dren are to remain in slavery, or to share
in their freedom, is not stated. At all
events, we have the fact that the rebels,
who were 30 furious about Abraham Lin
coins emancipation proclamation and the
arming of the blacks, are themselves emau-
cipsting their slaves and arming Them

WHAT Alexander d. Stephens the now
rebel Vice President, said to the Georgia
leg isla.ure, in 1881, lie ell that is needed to
answer the Copperhead charge that the
North began the war:
"Now, for you to attempt to overthrow
such government as this, under which
we have lived for more than ee.qqar..
ters of a century-in which We have gained
GU wealth, our standing as nation, our
domestic safety, while the elements of
peril are around US. with peace and tran
guilty, accompanied with unbounded pros
perity, and rights unassaiIed-is the height
of madness, folly and Wickeduess, to which
1 can neither lead my sanction or my vote.
"What right has the North assailed2-
What justice has been denied2 and what
claim founded In justice and right, has
been withheld2 Can either of you to-day
name one single act or wrong deliberately
or purposeIy done by the government at
Washington of which the South has right
to complain! 1 challenge the answer"

SENATOR BEN WADE, in late speech,
gives the following graphic account of an
interview with Gen. Mcclellan during the
latter's long and silent campaign before
Washington in 1861 - e- t.a
1t was at time when the very capital OF
the nation was almost in state of siege,
foreign nations began to look upon as as a
| conquered people, and when all the friends
of the government were overwhelmed with
shame and humiliation. Smarting under
the effect of this state of things, we went
down to the camp and found man who
was the general.in. chief of the whole army
of the United States. We found him in
command of 100, 900 of the best men that
ever marshalled under the banner OF bat
tie Never was an army got together COM
prising tho patriotism and intelligence that
were found under that general. Twas the
first rally of the patriotic host-the flower
of the republie-to save the nation from
destructiau. Go and converse with the
soldiers and you will find men there more
worthy to govern than many who are elect
ed to govern them. 3. a-f

on what was wasted. And yet the rebels
were almost in sight of the capital, fout-
ing their rationale flag in our very faces.
4 How could you ask us to submit to this
degradation without at least knowing tho
reason for its necessity We had an inter-
4 view with Gen. Mcclellan, aud remonstra-
ted with him for permitting this disgrace
and dishonor of a great nation. We ex-
horted him, for Gods sake, TO at least push
back the defiant traitors. Why can't you

Bv the change in the constitution OF
MARYLAND that commonwealth may be con-
sidefsd as having been permanently de-
tached from the southern group Of States,
and, like West Virginia, added to the mid
die States, consisting of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland
and West Virginia. The middle States have
thus augmented their power, their number,
their population and their area by the
events of the war. The citizens of PENN
sylvania, who have so frequently been
asked by the copperheads what We have
gained by this war, should bear this fact
| in mind. When the. war commenced
we had lost strength 10 Congress through
the rapid progress Of the Western states.
PENNSYLVANIA had lost one member OF
Congress, and New York two.{ But
now by the events of the war the Mid
die States have gained sufficient al
ditionaI strength through the, change In
Maryland and West Virginia 70 make
up their Losses and put them, ahead again:
West Virginia placed as where we had
been. and Maryland puts us ahead. Four
more Senators are added TO our strength IN
the Upper Honse, so that the Middle
States have the same strength in the Sep
ate as New England. Having a community
of interest with the Middle States; these
two new States will vote with as in Con-
gress on all matters affecting our local af-
fairs. Whatever may be the fate Of slavery
in the planting States, the war has puFged
both Maryland and West Virginia of all
attachment to their fortunes, aud given an
identity of feelings and institutions with
the free States, aud more especially with
US, their neighbors of the Middle States
West Virginia has been largely populated
from Pennsylvania, and has never agreed
with the planting interests of seaboard
Virginia. In some of the old Biographies
Maryland used to be classed as Middle
State, but the progress of the slavery cor
test drove her for Q time into the array OF
the South. Both are now happily free, and
We welcome gladly our new ooadjutors in
