THE YELLOW FEVER PLOT.

We contribute this morning one other chap
ter to the history of the Rebellion -Four years
ago the world might have refused to credit even
this circumstantial and corroboratcd evidence
of deliberate plot to introduce the yellow
fever INTO cities of the North, but We have seen
and heard tho horrors of Libby prison and
Andersonville, the conspiraces to murder
women and children on railway trains to fire
crowded cities, and to assassinate the President
and his counseors. We know not whether TO
call this moro or less fiendish purpose than
the others, but we cannot affect to doubt its
existence merely because it implies that inc
men who serve the Rebellion are devils.
The evidence shows clearly enough the man
features of the plot though the main actor in It,
Or. Blackburn, has escaped into "ncutral" ter
ritory. During the recent yellow fever epidemic
in Bermuda, this DR.. Blackburn took passage
for that island lie was a SOutherner. formerly
resident in Na.chcz, Mississippi. After his ar.
rival. he attended several yellow fever patients
at tho Hamilton Hotel and at o Mrs. Skaters.
Some of thom died under his care. He col
ected their MISUNDERSTANDING q large
quantity of wooden clothing which, in one case
at least, he had ordered TO be piled upon the pa
tients in order TO receive the infection, packed
il in trunks, and sent it to tho house OF Edward
C. Swan, TO be kept by him till an opportunity
offered to send it North. Blackburn himself
then left for Halifax.
II. lrou-n 70 tho authori.;as nf Hlmll.
ton that this infected clothing was in possession
of Swan and they caused his arrest. On the
preliminary examination, the above facts ap-
peared II was shown also that the Health
Officer found these trunks in Swans possession.
crammed full of clothes that had manliestly
been used by yellow fever patients. Swan
himself testified that Blackburn had de.
.iyered these trunks TO him. Another witness
swore that Swan bad told him he received the
trunks to DO sent North. inc rder to communi-
cate the yellow fever. Still another witness
swore that Blackburn Rad told him he had de.
liyered the trunks to Swan for that purpose, and
the wages for the service were variously stated
at $500 in the whole. and at $50 month
while Swan was engaged in the business. And
Blackburn told Swan TO call on the officers oil
the Confederate Government for money. One
of the trunks was marked "St. Louis Hotel,
Upper town, Quebec" and again Clifton
House, Niagara Falls, Canada side"
But We need not recapitulate more OF the eyl-
dence. Let it be read in full, and let each
reader satisfy his own mind as to its complete
ness. The magistrates Of Bermuda held Swan
for trial; the whole world will try and condemn
on the same evidence not merely DR.. Black
burn but the Rebellion and its leaders of whom
Blackburn was but one miserable and guilty

The N. Y Times has letter from a yeteran
politician who says:


"In December 1860 the President elect strongly
Inclined IT, indeed. be did not absolutely decide, to in.
viie Andrew johnson to u scat in his cabinet. His
purpose and policy however relating To Union states
IN Border Slave States uas ohanscd at Warrington
by the same influence which attempted 70 exclude the
delegates from these States from the National CoLyen.
ton"
This statement, We are confident, does great
injustice to the memory Of our late President,
clearly implying that he was induced, after he
reached Washington. to forego the purpose he
had previously cherished Of inviting Unionists
who he'd not supported his election to seat in
his Cabinet.
Mr.. Lincoln, upon the receipt of Alex. II.
Stephens's first great Union speech in Georgia
near the close Of lcG0, wrote him from Spring
field a letter, wherein he offered him-nay
pressed upon him-a choice Of oil the positions
within the Presidents gift. Mr.. Stephens.
when he received this letter, had resolved to
"go with his State" and so declined the
trustful proiIer.
After he reached Washington, Mr.. Lincoln
offered seat in his Cabinet TO Hon. John A.
GilIucr of North Carolina, who likewise declined
it. We believe he made similar proiferS to
other eminent Bell.Everett Unionists of the
South, but with like result. He might prob
ably have secured their cooperation by agreeing
to accept the Crittenden proposition and thus
consign to Slavery all our territory southwark
of % 30; but this. though urged upon him
by powerful influences from this State, he could
not do. Not doingit, he could get no distin'
guished Southern Bcll.Everct, man to take u
place In biz Cabinet, and Was constrained to
form it exclusively from those who had sup
ported his election. This, We have not doubt,
is "the truth Of history"

CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH co.

1t having come to our knowledge that limitations
Of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great number, calculated by their utter
worthessness to injure the reputa ton Of our gen.
ulne products, to protect our interests aud tho
public from imposition. We again publish the trade
marks by which our Watches m " invariably be
known.
We manufacture four STYLES Of Watches.
The FIRST has the name
"1MERICAN WATCH CO., Walthan, Mass. ="
engraved on the inside plate.
The SECOND has the name
"APPI.ETON. TRACY & CO., Walthain,
Mass ;" engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass, engraved
on the inside pl to-
All the above STYLES have the -ame American
Watch Go. painted on the dial, and are warranted
in every respect.
The fouRIH has the name
"WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass, engraved on
the inside plate and is not namod on the DIAL.
All the above described watches are made Of
various sizes and are sold in gold or silver cases,
as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for us to describe the nu-
merOus limitations to which We have alluded
They usually inscribed with names . o nearly
approaching our own as to escape the observation
OF the unaceustomed buyer Some are represented
to be made by the Union Watch Co.. OF Boston,
Mass, "-no such company existing. Some arc
named the ''Solders Watch" to be sold as our
Fourth or VIM. Ellcry style, usually known as tho
"Soldier's Watch" Others are named the ZAP
pleton Watch Co. = others the T. s. Bartley,'
instead OF our "P. S. BARTLETT" besides many
varieties named in such manner as to convey tho
idea that they the veritable productions OF tho
American Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particularly
soldiers, against buying certain articles called
watches, so freely advertised in illustrated papers
as "Army Watches " Officers Watches" "Aisgic
Time Observers" "Arcana Watches" &C., tho
NJ N are q he II "
teen dollars. A good watch, in these ,imes can
not he afforded tor any such monev.
little attention on the part OF buyers will pro-
tect them from gross imposition.
