ed by John Wentworth, announcing the
coming of large numbers Of bushwhackers.
Col. Swift commanding camp Douglass was
communicated with and orders were at once
issued for the arrest of the desperadoes,
upon their arrival The facts leaked out,
and the faithful found means to apprise
their friends, and the bushwhacksrs left the
train at the city limits, and scattered in
the city in various directions. The military
and police are constantly securing the city,
and have picked up hundreds Of them.
A propeller with neary one hundred sus :
picious characters, arrived here this morning
from Canada The military and police are
after them and they will be captured.
Col Sweet has for some time been aware
of the existence of the rebel plot to release
the prisoners at camp Douglass and burn
the city. and his detectives have been q,
work and with success, and through the evi
denca obtained was not sufficiently conclu
sive to warrent the arrest.
All of the conspirators, it was deemed
necessary to strike at once at such ones as
were unquestionably reasonable. Capt
Wilson, OF the city police was dispatched
to the house of DR.. Edwards, to arrest Col.
Marmaduke, brother to the rebel General,
and at the same time detachment of mill
tary proceeded to the Richmond House
and captured the rebel Col, st. Leger, and
Greenfell Morgan and others

Walsh's house were found 200 stand OF
arms and with all necessary ammunition,
and two cart loads of large revolvers loaded
and cappei, ready for use. In regard to
the arrest Of Walsh, Col. Sweet says be has
evidence enough against him to insure bis
swinging for treason. Col. Sweet has proofs
in his possession thatit was the plan Of the
rebel popspirators and home traitors to re-
leasethe rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas.
The camp was to have been attacked on two
sidesto>morrownight. The rebels were to be
released and che oily pillaged and burned

Rebel Version 9Of the Abe
marie Affair. seal :,

F New York, Nov. Richmond papers Of
the 4th have the following concerning the
sinking Of the Albemarle and the capture
of Plymouth: ~ s'ti--.a"-
The Dispatch says: The capture of Ply
mouth, N. O., by the enemy is explained
by later accounts. A lack of sufficient
watchfuIness on the part of our troops
seems to have been the prime cause of the
loss of the town. It seems that, ouThurs-
day night, party of eighteen men, be.
longing to the blockading squadron in Al
bemarle Sound, some eight or ten miles
from Plymouth, took small torpedo boat
and started for Plymouth. On the way
they found small boat containing six Of
our men in the river, stationed there as
picket guard; but, all of them being
asleep, they were taken prisoners. Then
proceeding to Plymouth, the Yankees found
the Albemarle at her wharf, and, running
the torpedo boat under her amidships,
blew her up, causing damage from which
she soon sunk. ~.
One party was stationed on the wharf,
who fired on the assaulting party, and,
after the Albemsrle sunk, crptured the
whole of them but one, who was killed.
There was no force of the enemy near Ply
mouth with the exception of five or si1g
boats in the sound. But the less Of the
Albemarle opened the Roanoke to them,
and hence the fall of the town. .,..
Captain Roberts, it is stated, COMMANDED
the Albemarle. 1t is understood that nc
lives were lost on the Albemarle, as there
were but few men on board at the time OF
the EXPLOSION.

In his anxiety to carry the election, Mr.,
Lincoln has withdrawn so many men from
Sherman that we have already lost nearly
all the fruits of the brilliant campaign from
Chattanooga to Georgia. So weakened is
Sherman, that it requires all the forces he
has left to guard the railroad along which
he SO lately moved as q conqueror. Had
Sherman been strengthened. instead of be.
ing weakened, he could, ere this, have
pushed his armies to the Gulf. But Mr.
lincoln has taken away his soldiers to vote,
so that Sherman, one of the first generals
in existence, is reduced to the necessity of
acting as the guard Of railroad.

NnvruBER.-We have now entered upon

have not gone to happier cline, when they
sing have exchanged the glad major key

But the soul that has sorrow over which

ness. He feels that 1t Is not mocker, but
real mourner. 1t does not stand upon its
dignity, as cold and unfeeling looker-on
1t is not pretender. 1t has no afectation

Hence November has its true admirers
"she loved me for the dangers had passed,
And loved her that she did pity them"
Here is the whole philosophy Of love-it
issympathy-it is congeniality--it is ap-
preciation-it is kindredship of soul-it is
the perception Of ones self in another; and
wherever this kindredship exists will be true
lovers, whether they be January and May,
or August and june. -
There are those who love to sit. even in
the grave. yard in silent meditation; to such
the faded leaf the withered flower, and the
signing of the South wind, are fit emblems.
They all speak language that comes home
to the stri ken spirit, and tell it that it is
not alone. '-A D.

also its autumn; and while you rejoice with
those who rejoice remember it is meet also
to weep with those who weep.
