Secret Rebel societies North and south

NEW York, October 5.
The Tibune'S New Orleans special says
Some important disclosures will soon be Off
cially made public in reference to secret rebel
societies which permeate the entire South.
These organizations have branch circles in
New York city and the West. That in
New York is said to number 50,000 princi-
pally composed of men who served in the
rebel army. Each Circle has different
name. Some are known as the True Sons
Of the South, others as the knights of
Arabia, and all are well armed with the
most improved weapons, ready at a mo-
ment's notice, should a favorable Opportu-
nifty arise, to renew the struggle for the lost
cause. One of the chief members Of this
organization, now in prison, is said to have
made important disclosures.
General Sheridan is concentrating troops
in this city for important purposes, which
will soon be made apparent.
Nine cases Of whipping OF negroes have
been recently officially reported In the Parish
of BlenYille One old woman seventy years
of age received four hundred lashes.

WEBSTER AND THE DRIvER.-On one occa-
sion, Mr.. Webster was on his way to attend
to his duties at Washington. He was COM
PEELED to proceed at night by stage from Bal
timore. He had no travelling companions,
and the driver had sort of felon look, which
produced no inconsiderable alarm with the
Senator. GO endeavored to tranquilize my
self" said Mr.. Webster, "and had partially
succeeded. when we reached the woods be
tween Bladensburg and Washington. IA pro.
per scene for murder or outrage, and here, l
confess, my courage again deserted me. Just
then the driver turned to me, with a gruff
voice, and asked my name. I gave it to him.
Where are you going?' said he. The reply
was, TO Washington. / am Senator. >
Upon this. the driver seized me fervently by
the hand. and exclaimed, How glad am.

last hour; for when | looked at you took
you to be highwayman.' +" Ofcourse both
parties were relieved.

INcREDULITY PERsoNIFIED.-The Boston
Advertiser tells this story of an incredulous
old hardshell down in Dukes county:
There is living on Martha's Vineyard an
old man who has never been off the island,
and the extent of his knowledge is bounded
by the confines of his home. lie has been
told of q war between the North and the
South, but as he has never heard the din of
battle nor seen any soldiers, he considered
it hoax. He is. utterly unable to read, and
is ignorant to the last degree. An excellent
story is told of his first and only day at school.
He was quite lad when lady came to
the district where his father resided to teach
school. He was sent and as the teacher
was classifying the school he was called up
in turn and interrogated as to his former
studies. Of course he had to say that he
had never been to school and knew none of
his letters The school mistress gave him
seat on one side until she had finished the
preliminary examination of the rest of the
scholars. She then called him to her and
drew on the blackboard the letter A, told
him what it was. and wished him to remem-
Der how it looked. He looked at it moment,
and then inquired he stuttered( .
''H h-how do you know it's A ~
The teacher replied that when a girl she
had been to school to an old gentleman who
told her so.
The boy eyed the 4 for moment, and
then asked, 9 III h, how did he know 2"
This was almost a sumner, but the teacher
suddenly recollected that he had told her
when boy he had been to school to a lady
who taught him it was A.
The boy eyed the letter little longer, when
he burst out with q ii h how did he know
but she llied ?"
The teacher could not get over the obstacle
and the poor boy was sent home as incorrig-

the South is now under the rule of whisky.
Having suffered from drouth of liquor

at once sprang pu in great sheets of flame,
and seemed to travel towards the wild horses
even more rapidly, under the pressure of the
wind than they were moving against them.
The stations suddenly stopped, looked
bewildered and then, with shriekings,
snortings and neighings that filled the air
and stunned the ear with discordant noises,
turned northward to escape the new danger.
The fire had now spread itself far and
wide, and leaped from hillock to hillock,
rising and falling at the same time like the
phosphorescent waves in a trophical sea-
Away to the northward the prairie fire rush
ed, followed closely upon the heels of the dis
concerted stations, until both were finally
lost sight of in the far off distance, where the
earth and sky seemed to meet each other In
friendly embrace.
The great peril was safely passed.
Had not the wind suddenly veered,"
said Ruxton, as he looked upon the men,
women and children who gathered around
him, ''not one of US would have lived to
see the sun set. We should have been
trampled and torn to pieces. At any other
season but this those wild creatures would
have avoided rather than pursued US. Now
they are literally mad"
With thankful hearts the men rearranged
the train and pursued thoir way west over
the ground now black and dreary, that
few hours before was so lovely to the vision
of the minds eye as is an imagined land
