Startling Revelation.

ADRIAN, MIcii, july l3.
Il soldier, aud now a one
armed pensioner, let me speak u few
facts that may interest some OF your
readers. For nearly q year past u
scheme has been on foot to send an
armed party to some of the Central
American ports, seize the country,
and organize a purely Yankee repub-
lie. The principal points of opera
tion are Cleveland Cincinnati, st.
Louis and New Orleans. Y our city
is largely represented, and tile scheme
begins TO assume tangible form.----
'Ihe money for the expedition is
pledged by some of the wealthicst
citizens OF the above places. Tho
work of recruiting and arming tho
cxpedition-is under the charge of one
Lieut.. Guy Wisner, q young man of
great bravery and tact, and well cal.
'cu.ated to push the matter to the last.
Theinunberiof men reqired to start
with is five thousand, and GuyjWis.
ner's rolls, could they now be found,
would count well fosr thousand. The
expedition is to commence some time
in September next A band OF New
MeNicans is also to leave some of the
Texans ports at the same time. The
projectors of t!iis scheme have been
both secret and expert. During the
past Winter Lieut.. Wisners time has
been mostly spent in this place. -
One.third OF the apparent workmen
and loafers who lounge around your
park and street corners are the sworn
a,lherents of this young illlibuster.''
u Now wish to say this much; 1 am
in possession of facts that will burst
this bubble the moment they are
placed IN the hands OF Government
authorities I@have some friends hi
Cleveland and Cincinnati that / know
are heavily involved in this plot
To them | say,stand from under, for
at the proper time, | shall disclose
the Whole scheme. names and all
