Tie Planters tFraukm) Banner gives the fol-
lowing sketch Of the New Orleans conspirators:
IT il curious to note the character of the men
who have lately been plotting to overthrow our
State government and establish radical despot-
ism over our heads.
Judge Howell was formerly from Jackson, La,
where he had no character or respectable
friends.
Hawkins was from Catahoula. His character
was such that the people drove him from mat sec
ton of the State before the war.
R. King Cutler is said to have served ten years
in the penitentiary Of Indiana, and afterwards Tor
many years ran what was formerly called a
"chicken thief" between the Baize aud New
Orleans.
Fields is an eccentric lawyer Of wild and way
ward notions on political and national matters.
We know nothing Of his moral character.
Henderson is a native of Mississippi. He has
been twice member Of a mad-house, and once
member Of a mad convention, and on the 3Oth ult.
was member of a conspirators convention to
overthrow the State government.
Dostie was a dentist from Chicago, one OF the
worst fanatics and demagogues in the land:
Fish was school teacher from New York he
once instructed school in this place. He made
over hundred thousand dollars as editor and
proprietor of the True Delta, the organ OF the
p convention and the New Orleans radicals in 1864
Charles Smith was q carpenter from the State
of Maine. He formerly lived in this place. and
was pretty good workman.
Governor Wells is a native of Rapides parish
in this State He bore bad name in his own
parish, but the people of the State forgave hin
all his original sins, took the freezing viper u
their arms, and he has bitten them.

TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST q. 1856.

A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times writes, under date of the 18th,
in regard to the recent outbreak in this city
in the following manner. Although some of
his statements are either premature or incor-
rect the main features of that port on of the
correspondents letter which we copy are
worthy of perusal:
Mr.. Banks, Mr. Boutwell, and several other Re
publican members OF Congress- have been exert
ing themselves to the utmost to prejudice me
mind of the President in relation to the recent IN
hapDy affair at New Orleans and General Butler
has written long and sharp letter to him, with
the same end in view But their labors have pro-
duced directly the contrary effect from what they
intended. The President made himself FULLY CON
Yersant with all the facts connected with the riot
and, having done So he has acted promptly and
decsivey He has sustained Mayor Monroe
throughout the whole affair." from first to last ana
HAS compelled the military to act in subordnaton
Ito the civil authorities. He promptly removed
martial law, when the latter had been imposed BY
IGeneral Sheridan, and quickly placed the city
back again under the civil laws OF the state And
fnally, he removed General Baird from command.
n He did this am informed, in consequence OF
facts presented in General Sheridan report show
ing that General Baird was in full utilization with
Z DOste and his fellows, and that if General Baird
had done his duty there would have been no riot
+ At all.
But the President will not stop with Gen. Baird.
Il All the other persons who were instrumental ID
causing the riot are marked, and will be brought
TO CUndign punishment. 1t was very indlscreet IN
Gen. Banks to rush INFO print in defense OF hls
dear friend DOstie. There is onrecord, among the
archives of the war department, very ugly docu
ment in relation to Gen. Banks, being nothing less
than the report which Gen Badly Smith ana M
James I. Brady, of New York, maze upon 9nS
administration Of the department Of the guit uhuGi
the said Gen. Banks. This report, am informed
will soon he nub1i.hpd nv direction of the Presl

at the burning of a circus in that city:
The central quarter of the Champs Elysees was
thrown into CONSERVATION to-day by the appear
ance of flames bursting forth from the elegant
circus, called the Cirque de Temperatures The
stables caught fire just as the company were as
scmbed for rehearsal. The gas had been badly
turned off the night before and a spark from a
grooms pipe caused an explosion.
fearful scene ensued. In a moment all the
straw and hay in the stables was on fire. The
cloths of several horses, strapped on with girts,
caught fire. and before any aid could be given
five of these poor animals were so dreadfully
burned that their flesh came off them in Jumps.
They will all PROBABLY die, Twelve men and
women and two children were carried away to
Beauion hospital, and several death are expected.
Batty's lions and young cubs were in the building
at the time. 1t is frightful to think what might
have happened had the lions got loose at that
hour, when so many nurses and children are in
the Champs Elysees, Some of the employees OF
the place ran across the causeway to the cafe op.
posite with the young lions in their arms, and
placed them for safety in one of the upstairs
rooms.
