THERE is received at this Office little
weekly (and 'osGkly) octave sheet, pub
lished in Washington, called the Great
Republic 1t is an intense Radical affair,
and calls itself the organ of the "Grand
Army ofthe Republic" Its head is en-
bellished with a cut containing the letters
T. L. 4, and two scrolls overlaid by a
sword and flag On the scrolls are the
words Con-, abbreviated, we suppose, for
Constitution, and DecFH, for Declara
ton. There is also a closed book, with
something like a crown or scepre on
it, we cannot discern which. The caba-
listic letters at the top, we presume, have
something to do with the thing called
'loynlty The constitution and deelara-
ton Of independence under the sword
fifty emblematizes the use tn which the
Radicals have pat them and the sealed
book, surrounded by the sceptre shows
that law must yield to power
The publishers can keep it. We have
seen enough Of it..

sURRATT TO BE FRIGHTENED INTO

sURRATT TO BE FRIGHTENED INTO
TEsTIFYING AGAINST MIR. DAVIS.
The Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Gazette says:
In recent letter l ventured the sugges-
ton that, in view Of the insuficiency Of the
evidence TO convict Surratt of capital
ofiense in a civil court, and, consequently,
by implication, throwing doubt upon the
righteousness of the sentence which milf
tary commission passed upon his mother,
the Radicals would attempt to relieve the
commission from public odium by an eneT-
getic prosecution of the son, and attempt TO
charge bis acquittal Of such an ofense to
CoPperhead perjury and Rebel sympathy.
But how greatly did l underrate the au-
dacity and impudence Of the faction now
ruling the entire country with an iron rod
and who laugh in the faces Of their credu-
lous followers. Surratt we are now told, is
to be whiteWashed into a witness against
Davis, or rather he is to he manipulated by
the immaculate Holt, and through the
Vaccinations of some new Conover, (per-
haps the Canadian gentleman" who served
in both armies during the late war, and
more recently turned up among the Pope's
Zouaves, and, under threats Of death, in
duced to subscribe TO some cock and bull
story, duplicating innocent parties in the
assassination plot which, by the way, is
now fast assuming the proportions of the
famous "plaat" of Titus Oates.
The Chronicle of this morning distinctly
foreshadows this scheme. at is reported"
says that infamous sheet, that Attorney
General Stanberry has decided upon the
trial of jeff Davis at Richmond some
time during the spring of 1867. John
Surratt, recently captured in Egypt, and
now on his way to this country, viii pro-
baby be placed upon the witness stand at
the Davis trial, his completely with the
conspiratOrs rendering him a valuable wit
ness in regard to the part played by the
arch traitor in the assassination scheme"
Can the equal of this compound of auda-
city, recklessness and yillainy be found
anywhere in history, except, perhaps, the
charge against Charles the Second of impli-
cation in the plot TO assassinate himself!

The arrest of John II. Snrratt, says

Judge Holt had recommended that no
prosecution should take place in Papal ter
ritOry unless the criminal had made GER
tain confessions. The arrest would seem
TO prove that these confessions had been
made; and it does appear from the evidence
of the Maryland school-master that Surratt
had owned to his participation in the muir
der plot, throwing the chief responsibility
for the deed on Jefferson Davis"

A special from Leavenworth, Kansas,
says: "The Indian council at Fort Lara
ME has broken up. 1t was complete
farce, the Indians refusing to make peace
upon their own terms, to wit: The with
drawal Of all troops and travel from their
hunting grounds north of the Platte. The
council has been an enormous expense to
the Government, with no beneficial results"
The Fort Kearney Postmaster writes on
the Goth ult. that the mail bag from Omaha,
containing mail matter for that place and
the Western Territories, was accidently
lost while crossing the Platte River. To
keep the mail from getting wet, the carrier
put it upon the seat of the wagon, from
which place the jolting of the wagon in the
quicksand gradually worked it off into the
river.
According to Leavenworth dispatch
there is every reason to believe that the In
dams recently attending the unsuccessful
peace conference at Fort Laramie have taken
the war path, and unless troops are prompt
ly despatched to the region lying between
Kansas and Platte, much trouble may be
expected The Indians are said to number
ten thousand, and are reported to be well
armed and bountifully supplied with ammu-
milton.
