The Plot to Burn Northern Cities.
The evidence adduced in the trial of the
assassination conspirators on Thursday
proves conclusively the completely of the
rebel government including Jefferson
DSvis, in the plot to burn Northern cities
and destroy all vessels leaving Northern
ports. This war on non-eombstants,
upon women and children. ia nracisal1 in.
charter with the Infamous plots already un-
Veiled or being unveiled in other quarters,
among which the scheme to introduce yell.
Low fever into the North is perhaps the.
most diAbolicAl. It ispsrt and parcel with
the hell-born mslignity which has been
characteristic Of the whole rebellion, man
Tested in such acts IS the murder of the
garrison of Fort Pillow, the outrages on
the body Of Uric DAhlgren, the syStemst-
ic starving Of prisoners, and :he sssassins-
tion of the President IN al of them We
Escognizs the same spirit-the legitimate
outgrowth of shareholders rebellion,
And yet, in the face ofsuch proofs IS these,
the British press insist on charscteriz-
ing the Southern conduct Of the war as
generous and manly
The two men most responsible for these
infGmies, Jefferson Davis and Robert Z. 4
Les are now in our hands. In behalf of
justice, in the nsme of the twelve thousand
Union soldiers starved to death in South
ern prisons, for the sake of the public
Psace and the security of the future, let \
these men be brought to justice. To per-
NIT them to 60 unscathed would be to put
apremium, not only on treason, but on ar
son, robbery, murder, and crimes SO
base that there are neither names for them
or laws against them. l.. aa

for trial before the General Azsizss. The
health officers opened and examined three
trunks deposited by DR.. Up. Blackburn
With Edward Q. Swan, and found them to
Be aled with clothing and bedding for the
most part filthy and sPlOtched; and bear
ing marks of having been used in sick
chambers. Several witnesses testify to the
fact that Blackburn, after attending yel-
low fever patients, packed up the clothing
and bedding in his trunks, at one time
stealing the articles. Swan gave before
the magistrates full particulars Of the de

with DR.. Blackburn, and which was to the
effect that the clothing in the trunks came
from yellow fever patients and that they
were intended to be sent to New York OF
Philadelphis, and it may have been to both
places" There is evidence shAs Blackburn
nearly smothered yellow fever patient

that he might infect them and that he Af-

d, DR.. @. B. LIGHTHILLS 8 first visit TO
Ohio was induced by numerous spplics-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except after
q personal examination. His practice has
been SO successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost ss difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
qests of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters SO that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthiil
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and cstarrh in its vsri-
GUS forms. He has practicad in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DIR. E. B. Lighthill, and,
together, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the HLighthill In
stitute' its present great reputation.

DR. LIGHTHuL-Dea7. Sir: Allow me
I to express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered TO my dsugh-
( ter, whose ears have been badly affected
|. for many years, and for some months Psst
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
I loss of this important sense Is certainly
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing
and TO degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If, therefore, there
be 8 remedy for this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires that 1t
should be universally disseminated. l feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, TO give my testimony TO the
happy effects of your treatment and reme-
dies. My daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
al 10, for several yesrs, was seriously affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss of her hearing.
It was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in the conversation of her
friends, and for tWo years has been deprived
of this source of social enjoyment. Hap
PLY my attention WAS directed to your ad-
Vertisement and i Was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment under
favor of kind Providence, has been sue
leessful. Her hearing, SO far as can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Whether
this restoration is permanent is question
time alone can determine, but present re-
suits are certainly very gratifying.
am, dear sir,
I Truly and gratefully yours,
.......t.g ..,.. B.. T. WELoH, D. D.
