A Vera Cruz letter of the 1st in
slant states that Confederates still
continue to flock to Mexico. There
is no doubt that Gwin will get his
project through; it only awaits the
| signature Of MaXamilian to become
a law. He goes out as Director Gen
cral of Emigration for the States of
Sonora, chihuahua, Durango, and
Tamaulibas, with extraordinary DOW
ers and 5000 French troops to him.
The region is TO be strictly Southern.
Ten thousand cmigrants are to be
armed and paid by the Empire, but
kept IN the above mentioned States
as protection to cmigrants. Captain
Page and the officers of the Stonewall
had gone to Mexico, to offer their
Services to the Empire, and persuade
the Imperial Government to purchase
the ram Stoncwall. The French Ad-
miral goes with them for the same
purpose, and declares that with the
ram lie can defend the Mexican coast
against the whole American navy.
The Union Convention held in Bal
timore last Thursday, indorsed the
Presidents reconstruction policy
A motion was made to lay the reso-
luton on the table, but it was lost by
yeas %, nays 76.
The Tribune's Richmond special
says $500 whites and 1,200 negroes
are drawing ratlonS in that city. At
Lynchburg 600 whites and 100 ne
Sroes are drawing rations.
The President has changed the
place Of Imprisonment Of DR.. Mudd,
O'Laughlin, Arnold, and Spangler,
and they were on the 18th sent to the
Dry Tortugas, instead of the Albany
penitentiary. Col. Hamilton, Davis
private Secretary, has been sent to
Fort McIIenry; Prof. Mccullough,
the alleged protector of incendiaryI
fires in New York, to Fort Delaware,
and Gen. Harris to the Libby Prison.

place, after seizing the arsenal, were
to march to aid Price in taking St.
Louis. Prominent Union citizens
and officers were to be seized and
sent South, and the more obnoxious
of them were TO be assassirated. All
places taken were to bc sacked and
destroyed, and band Of a hundred
desperate men was organized to burn
the larger Northern cities not includ-
cd in the field Of operations. Two
hundred Confederate officers, who
were to direct the military move
ments, had been in Canada, but were
then stationed throughout the West,
at the various points to be attacked,
waiting the outbreak at Chicago
Captain Hines, who had won the con-
lidencc of Thompson by his success
iul management of the escape of John
Morgan, had control OF the initial
movement against Camp Douglas;
but Colonel Grenfell, assisted by
Colonel Marmaduke and q dozen 9th
or rebel officers, was to manage the
military part of the operations. All
of these officers were at that moment
in Chicago, waiting the arrival of the
men, who were to come in small
squads over different roads, during
the following three days. The rebel
officer had known of the plot for
months, but its atrocious details had
come to his knowledge only within n
fortnight. They had appalled, him;
and though he was bctraying his
friends, and the South which h6 loved,
the humanity in him would not let
him rest till he had washed his hands
of the horrible crime.

The Destruction of iInrnum's Museum
Thrilling and Terrific Scenes.

There never was Il fire, perhaps,
even in New York city, attended with
SO many strange incidents and most
peculiar scenes rs the late one that
destroyed Barnum's Great American
Museum. This institution was estab.
lished in 1910, and from that time
until the time of the lato disaster, the
managers and lovers of the curious
and wonderful had collected within
its walls almost everything animate
and inanimatc that would attract at
tcntion rs curiosity. Here were
elephants, lions, tigers, whales, seals,
scrpcnts, monkeys, in fact, rcprescn-
tatiycs of nearly every beast, bird OIL
fish on earth having any claims to
notoriety, all consigned at once by
the suddenness of the flames to q
horrible heath. Loosened from Their
confinement, maddencd by fire from
which they could not escape, tue wild
beasts, true to their nature, died
I"gamc," and struggled for the mas
terry to the last.
We have room for only part OF
the description of the conllagration,
as given by reporter of the N. Y.
Tribune.
The surviving ser.
Ipents, released from their cages by
the fire, crawling to the balcony oI
the Museum, caused much excite
ment by tumbling promiscuously
among the people collected below
A large black bear also escaped, and
after n series of maneuvers made his
way into Wall street, where he pro.
duced Il great sensation, and for the
time ruled the market
The collection of "Wax Figures
were either burned or broken TO piec-
es in the hurried effort to save them.
The rescue of the Fat Woman is
thus described.
Mrs. Anna Swami was only rescued
with the utmost difficulty. There
was not door through which her
bulky frame could obtain a passage.
1t was likewise feared that the stairs
would break down, even if she should
reach them. Her best friend, the
living skeleton, stood by her as long
rs he dared, but then deserted her
while, rs the heat grew in intensity,
the perspiration rolled from her face
in little brooks and rivulets, which
Ipattered musically upon the floor
At length, rs II last resort, the en-
.ployces Of the place procured lofty
derrick, which fortunately happened
to be standing near, and erected it
alongside the Museum. a portion
of the wall was then broken OIL on
each side Of the window, the strong
tackle WAS got in readiness, the fat
woman was made fast to one end, and
swung over the heads of the people
in the street, with eighteen men grasp
ing the other extremity of the line,
and lowered down from the third
story, amid enthusiastic applause
\ carriage of extraordinary capacity
was IN readiness, and, entering this,
the young lady was driven away to a
hotel.

Hon. andrew Hunters Letter.

We call the attention of our readers to
the interesting and able letter which we
publish this morning, written by Hon.
ANDREW HUNTER, of Charlestown, and
addressed to Gen. JAS. S WHEAT, of this
city, in relation to the status of Jefferson
and Berkeley counties and the recent
proclamation by Governor FOREMAN in
reference thereto Mr. HUNTER is one
of the foremost men in the State in abili-
ty and influence, and the letter will am
ply repay perusal.
We believe that it presents truthful
picture of affairs in Jefferson county, and
furnishes an unanswerable argument
why the radical party should not obtain
in the next Legislature the ascendancy
they had last winter 1--we want Jetfer-
con and Berkeley counties toadd to the
wealth of our State, we must give to
their citizens the same civil and political
privileges that are accorded to them in
the old commonwealth of Virginia.

The Meeting Last Night

The Democratic party of Ohio county is
mot dead yet" at least it has enough vi
tally to get up the largest meeting that
has been held during the campaign. The
crowd at the Court House last night was
greater than that which attended the Re
publican meeting, at which it was sup.
posed that the Governor elect of the great
State of Ohio would speak. This is in
itself gratifying circumstance, and the
patient and earnest attention bestowed
upon the orators last night, until the
meeting adjourned at half past ten
o'clock, is some evidence at least that the
Democracy of Wheeling mean to do their
duty tomorrow.

While we do not give the authors of
this document credit for any superior
wisdom or extraordinary acuteness, we
think that there is more in the circular
than is apparent at first sight We COM
mend it to the attention of Democrats
read it closely and carefully and see
whether there is not in this scheme for
surrounding the polls with Republican
"roughs" something worthy of attention,
The pretext is to prevent Democrats
from "overawing the the timid" but the
real purpose is to intimidate the Democ'
cy. 1t must and will fail of its end
Thrice Is he armed who hath his quarreljust."
and strong in the consciousness OF
right the Democracy will tomorrow
present q fearless front to the legions of
mobocracy, bondocracy and fanaticism..
The idea that tho Democratic party is
seeking to secure through the ballot
box that which failed on the battle
feld," is part of the old and silly slang
that we have heard during the past four
years. 1t never was true and is not true
now. The Democratic party is laboring
to prevent negro suffrage in this State
| and to give to all our citizens equal
rights and equal taxation. Does the
Republican Executive Committee admit
that these ideas have failed upon the
battle field and that it is against these
that the late war has been waged2
This secret circular should stir the
Democracy to redoubled energy and zeal
1t exhibits the desperation of our oppo
nents and the means they propose to en-
ploy in order to foist upon the geopl
the candidates of the minority. We cal
beat them at their own game aud still

The Republican candidates are in ia

DENY il. They have been repeatedly in
terrogated upon this subject, but, know

silence is a confession. If elected to the
