Horrible Revelations from Various Quarters!


printed in the Lake Shore cities have
been playing the heaviest engagement in
the way of sensation lying for the last few
days that we recollect of observing for some
years. The reporter for The Cleveland
Herald, an adept at the business has created
furore by his astounding developments
In regard to the contemplated raid by Ca
madam roughs upon that city, and doubt
less exhausted all the display type in the
establishment in getting up his head lines.
He saw multtudes of incendiaries every
time he looked into the street, and all the
tottering bummers arraigned before the
Police Majesty, of Cleveland were trans
formed into armed raiders and bloodthirsty
incendiaries. He had two or three trains
captured, which, to his intense disgust, ar
rived all right and on time; steamboats,
were captured and sunk promiscuously all
over the lake, but the boats invariably came
into port with their colors flying. So great
has been the terror of The Herald reporter
that it is said he goes home every night in
an ironclad street car and heavily armed
with swivel and a pocket testament.
The editor of the Sandusky Abo-
lition paper is no better off; and
plots, conspiracies and dire calamities which
are about to fall upon that patriotic city,
beset him like the spectres of murdered in
nocents that struck terror to the soul of
Richard. In Buffalo and Detroit the Alb
clifton reporters are blessed with prodigious
items of raids and invasions, which they
dish up at great length-drawing on their
imaginations for their facts and each other
for their words.
There is some unfairness, we perceive, in
this extraordinary distribution of stupen-
dous items: none but Abolition editors se-
cure them and only those of the lake cities.
Anxious to supply our readers with the
latest intelligence, we despatched cores
pOndents to Sodom, over the river, and
several points OH the Scioto in the vicinity
of the slaughter houses-where from SYM
pathy it was naturally supposed the san
culinary conspirators who have been tor
turing Bill Seward and the lake shore locals,
would be most likely to congregate-to the
northwestern counties, from which section
the reliable correspondents of the Cincin-
natl loyal dailies, when hard up for items,
invariably secure consolation in the shape
of Provost Marshal murders; to Bucyrus,
the headquarters of the conspirators,
where Brough found it convenient to
discover A Plot when he wanted to
humbug the National Guards into the
hundred days service and give his friends
fat contracts, and to all other points of in
terest. Our specials were instructed to
find conspiracies and plots of the most
startling and diabolical character, and also
charged to beware of Stewards tea, measles,
small pox, BOBBY Darlington, and other
pestilences; and were particularly requested
not to take Richmond at the bar more than
twenty times per day. Our correspondents
performed their duty nobly, and their dis
patches are models of brevity which we
recommend to the study of the profession.
We have only time to lay before our read
ers portion of these dispatches to-day, on
account of rush of other news:
