The journal says kilograms were received
by Hon. John Wentworth announcing the
! coming of large number Of bushwackers.
Col Sweet, commanding Camp Douglas, was
communicated with, and orders were at once
issued for the arrest of the desperadoes on
their arrival. The fact leaked out, and the
faithful found means to apprise their friends,
and they left the train at the city limits and
escaped in various directions. The military
and police are securing the city and have
picked up hundreds of them. a5f,a
A propeller with nearly 100 suspicious char
acters arrived this morning from Canada.
The military and police are after them and all
will be captured. ess
q Col. Sweet has for some time been aware of
a rebel plot to release the prisoners at Camp
Douglas and burn the city. His detectives
have been at work, and with success, and
though the evidence obtained is not sufficient
IL conclusive to warrant the arrest OF all the
conspirators, it was deemed necessary to
strike at once such ones as were unquestiona-
bly, reasonable. Capt. Nelson, of the city po-
lice, was despatched to the house of DR.. Ed
wards to arrest Col. Vincent Marmaduke,
brother of the rebel General. AT the same
time detachment of the military proceeded
to- the Richmond House and captured the
rebel Col. Gestleyer Greenfield, Morgan's Ad-
jutant General, and j. T. Shanks, who are es-
capped rebel prisoners B. S. Morris, man
Z noted for his hatred toathe North, was also
arrested. They are now confined in Camp
Douglas. sess .fs e.@s h39he'e
e In the meantime another detachment Of tn e
military invested the residence of Charles
Walsh, near Camp Douglas. His house was
entered, and portion OF its contents taken to
J the camp. gaaai sIa sas44 aaas sss.,.,e 'is9fF
Capt. Cantwell and private, named Charles
I Waveose, both belonging tothe rebel service,
were there arrested as spies. In the Watch
House were found 200 stand Of arms with all
the necessary ammunition, and two cart loads
of large revolvers, loaded and capped ready
for use.
IS In regasd to the arrest of Walsh, Col Sweet
said he had evidence enough against him to
insure his swinging for treason.
Col. Sweet had proofs in his possession that
it was the plan of the rebel conspirators and
home traitors to release the rebel prisoners at
Camp Douglas and burn this city. The camp
was to have been attacked on two sides to-
morrow night, the rebels released, and this
city plundered and burned. 4 gq al
% simultaneously with the above arrests by
the military, the police entered room adioin-
ing the Mattson House, and captured two
large boxes loaded with guns concealed there.
The police made raid early this morning
on the Donelson House, in Canal Street, and
captured forty bushwhackers who had been
tracked there, all of them armed to the teeth
