70 a sense Of the vindlctive and malevolent
feeling which the South entertaius 20 our
people.
But the revelations Of this attempt 10 de-
stroy by tlre the greatest city on the Western
Continent win awaken our people 70 the dan
ger Of nourlshing in their bosoms these pro-
Tossing Union mon from the South, who, like
the viper when warmed into life, viii turn and
strike their benehctors to the heart.
1t is horrible to think Of the loss OF HE

Museum was packed with men, women and
children; and the flames from these huge edi-
fices would have reached the narrow streets
and allevs in their rear, where those immense
tenement houses, Characteristic Of New York;
are situated. These extensive buildings, some
of them six stories high, contain oftentimes
hundreds Of persons of all sexes, ages and
color, and II would have been an impOssbility
70 save from the flames an their inmates. The
contemplation Of such a scene as probable
is ouough to freeze the blood; yet these Rebel
emissaries could coolly lay their trains, ignite

suit. Surely such creatures are not men
then may De IN form, but they are devils at
heart, and betray their kinship to the first
great Rebel, who was hurled from heaven and
sent to perdition for his Jolly and madness.
We congratulate New York on her Progi-
dental escape, and trust that her authorities
will take care of the prowliug incendiaries,
who may yet make another desperate effort to
carry out their nefarious and heartless de-
signs. Meanwhile Philadelphia must be on her
guard. Fooled at one point, the villains may
turn up at another and JEFF, DAVIS owes no
good will to the Quaker City. He Is aware
OF the vast number of her sons who have gone
forth to aid in crushing the Rebellion. He
hates her patriotism, and would glory in see
ing her sacred Hall Of Independence, and her
churches, her libraries, her public institutions,
and her pleasant homes laid in ashes. Let US
all be on the watch, and note every suspicious
stranger within our city limits.

The further inve stigation penetrates Into
the my terious plot TO burn the city OF New
York, the more revolving and startling are the
developments. No doubt longer remains but
that 1t was a deliberate and well-matured
plan 10 destroy the entire city, fpossible, and
that II was originated by the Rebels in Canada
with the cOnniyanee OF JEFF. DAVIS and the
Richmond Government. The police of New
York have already ascogtained this to GER
talnty. Several Rebel officers are known to
have left Canada just before the Presidential
election, bound for New York, and their
friends across the line whispered it about that
they intended 10 burn the Empire City on
election day. But the presence of General
BUTLER and his veterans prevented any
not, and the conspirators waited for
better and more appropriate hour,
New York was warned Of this beforehand !;
for on the I'd day OF this month Secretary
SI.wABD wrote to the Mayor Of Buffalo, in
forming him that he was in receipt of
mioi nation from the British provinces
which warranted him in the belief that
there was ga conspiracy on foot to set fire
to the principal cities Of the Northern States
on the day of the Presidential election"
The opposition press made light Of the mat
ter, and called il an electioneering dodge;
while thousands OF Union men thought the
thing impossible, giving to the Rebels more
credit for humanity than they are ever likely
to obtain again in the eyes Of the world.
After this specimen OF Rebel diabolsm, it win
not be difficult for the North to understand
the spirit which perVades the Rebellion.
Hitherto our people have exercised an amount
OF charity towards the South which has never
been appreciated. We have felt that the
citizens Of the seeded States were part Of
ourselves, aud although they were rebellious,
and deserving the terrible punishment inflicted
upon them by the war which they began, stil

The mischief seems 10 arise from the loose
system Of restraining recruits and conveying
them to the front. Where the responsibility
rests we do not know, but certainly somebody

TIlE EVENING TELEGRAPH has done its
duty. We are not alarmists, We have called
public attention to the fact that New York,
Boston, and other cities are preparing by a
liberal and comprehensive system to avoid a
draft They are doing this at our expense.
Let the public move in the matter instantly,
before our city is drained of that proportion Of

sOnable provision be made for their families
in the shape Of civic bounties.
