The Conspiracy.

Some of the evidence taken before the
Washington Military Commission on
Friday last, and which was first pub
lished yesterday, tends to show, by the
sworn statements of large number of
witnesses, that the scheme of assassina-
tion, in some form, was agreed to and APP
proved in rebel military circles twenty
months ago; that the Richmond author
tiles hired and paid the conspirators
money; that Booth, besides being
hired assassin himself, was engaged to
hire others; that he was empowered to
offer thousands of dollars for the aid Of
a single confederate that he did offer
this for the cooperation of New York
actor named Chester, who, fortunately
for himself, refused the bride; that
Sanders, and the gang who act with
him in the Provinces were privy to the
plot and that every step in the conspi-
racy was with the cognizance Of COnfed-
crate officials.
The business in which Booth was en-
gagged was opened near Swift Run Gap,
lin the Shenandoah Valley,) shortly af-
ter the rebel defeat at Gettysburg in
1868. Booth first offered his sugges-
tions in rebel camp; and Beal, who
was hung the other day, was the first
volunteer for what was to be thereafter
known as the detached service"
Shortly after this, Booth was found Gin
funds, and upon these he made various
essays in perfecting the conspiracy, un-
I, Il tAN Oh 4
the 14th of April last.
Until the capture of Davis was re-
ported, the commission, doubtless, felt
that it would be unwise to let it be
known how far the evidence really went
to implicate the late confederate au-
thorities." The capture of the arch
rebel renders further precaution in this
regard unnecessary, and the commission
fully justify their own act in now CIV
ing the whole to the public.

KIRBY SMITH-Further interesting
accounts of the silly war excitement
and gasconade being INDUCED in by the
rebels west of the Mississippi, in Kirby
Smiths command, were brought by the
steamship Creole. The rebel leaders in
Texas and Louisiana were still, at the
date of the latest accounts, proclaiming
by public meetings and addresses their
determination to continue the war, not
withstanding the failure Of the cause
east Of the Mississippi. Gen. Magruder
made a speech on the Oath ult., in which
he announced that he could see nothing
discouraging for the rebels in the milit-
airy situation, and mysteriOusly limited
that they had ga neighbor near at
hand" regarding whom che did not
feel at liberty to say anything further at
that time" Old Sterling Price, of Mis-,
souri,, and General Hlndman, of Arkan-
sas, are both said to be still alive and in
Texas.

IL Jake Thompson, man with $25.-
600 on his head, and as courageous as
any cur who barks but dares not bite,
wrote in June 1861, to James Buchanan,
0. P. F., as follows;
around me there is but one feeling,
all absorbing, all pervading. As long as
the Northern States propose invasion,
subjugation so long will we fight; and
when our ammunition is exhausted, we
will fight with stones, pitchforks and
scythe blades, A people with such a
spirit cannot be subdued."

Vermont Agricultural College.

To the citizens of Rutland County The
legislature, at it's last session, passed an
act incorporating "The Vermont Agri-
cultural College, the leading object OF
which shall be, without excluding 9th
er scientific and classical studies, and
including military tactics, to teach such
branches Of learning as are related to
agricultural and the mechanic arts, in
order to promote the liberal and prac-
tical education of the industrial classes
in the several pursuits and professions
of life"
This college, when established, will be
entitled to receive the annual interesto OF
the money (about $130,000) arising from
the sale of the land scrip donated to the
State, for aid in founding said institu-
ton. The act of incorporation provides
that 1.-THE said college shall first secure,
by valid subscription or otherwise, the
further sum of not less than one hun
bred thousand dollars"
At the first meeting Of the corporators,
held at Montpelier in the early part OF
this month, each corporator was made
a committee in his own county, to per-
feet an organization that would reach
every school district in the town, to cir
culate subscriptions, and thereby re-
ceive a guarantee of what the people
are willing to do towards establishing
the Institution.
The following named gentlemen in
the several towns in this county have
consented to act as town committees,
and will place subscription lists in the
hands of some gentleman in each school
district, who will see that all have an
opportunity to subscribe
Benson-L. Howard Kellogg.

The act of incorporation provides tina
the said college shall cease to exist IN
less the said sum of one hundred thous
and dollars shall be subscribed befor
the 18th of November, 1865.
1t is to be hoped that so important a
educational enterprise will not fail 70
the want of generosity on the part 9C
the people to aid in its establishment o
an enduring basis; and as one of tn
corporators confidently appeal to th
friends of education in our county, an

Wilkes Booth in Montreal last August
with George N. Sanders. John Deveny,
of Philadelphia, also saw Booth in con-

sunk at least $1,000 in oil specuiations,
which doubtless absorbed his wages of
crime.
