they were to be- ready when called for-I know
there was general plot to cscape-thc time and
arrangements were left to few men-we were
organized into three battalions, and were to at
tach the cannon at three different points-the
stockade was to be torn down-the guards and
troops stationed there to be oycrpowered-we
thought there was reasonable prospect Of sue
cess. The general understanding was to tear of
the boards-the battalions were under command
of officers As to the character Of the guards,
some of them on. the stockade and some Of them
on the inside, were very good-sometimes they
would smuggle in provisions to US at night-but
some of the guards were very bad They would
shoot the first chance they could get Generally
the guards were worthless as soldiers-some OF
them were crippled-they were Of different ages
from IA to 50. I did not escape from the prison,
and knew nothing positive Of the plot I was
sent to Danyille, Va, on the 10th of October, by
railroad-I had ten minutes notice before
started. ~ ~
IThe Counsel said he would frankly state that
his reason why this evidence was brought out
was to show that Maj. Gee knew of this plot and
removed the officers to save their lives.

The Cholera.

The mildness of the late visitation of the
cholera IN Paris is attributed to the vast
improvement OF the sewerage, which is one of
those deeds of the present Emperor that will
long he raiefully remembered by France. The
exemption of New Orleans for the last four
years from the visitation of yellow fever may
h" traced to the thorough sanitary precautions
and rigid quarantine which were established
there during the war. These facts ought not
10 be lost upon those who have the RESPONSE
bihty OF municipal control in other cities
There is too much reason to apprehend that
the cholera will make it's appearance in this
country in the Spring. II got as far as Sandy
Hook, when its development was arrested by
the frosts, but there Were IA large number of
cases of incipient cholera in New York, and
hundreds suffered from choleraic symptoms.
There have been indications of temperature
pointing 10 an epidemic, and the condition of
some OF the principal cities is filthy beyond
description. With the arrival of warm wea-
her, the cholera may break ont in New York

cation with il. The winter affords q season of

A Thrifty kim.

The "trade of king, as Mr.. JoHS MITcuEL

trades, upon the individual energy and econo-

The most recent development of spiritualism
in New York shows melancholy progress OF
crime among the spirits. 1t seems that these
interesting beings do not lose the infirmities OF
human nature when they cast of the flesh.
An old lady who had amassed considerable
fortune and retired from business became
disciple of spiritualism-a medium, so called
and her elegant parlors were frequented by
other intelligent and exemplary devotees OF
the new religion. In process of time the per-
sonal property began mysteriously to dlsap-
pear from the haunted house. Articles OF
value, watch, trinkets, at last, the very car
pets, vanished into thin air. All this while the
old lady shrewdly suspected that these depre-
dations were the work of her spiritual visitors
1t appears 10 have been some time before she
gave UP this rational conclusion and became
possessed of vulgar idea that mortal hands
had appropriated her possessions. This insane
conjecture led 10 IN examination before
police court, when the above facts were deve-
loped They speak we'll for the progress OF
human intelligence, and cannot fail to give
new attraction TO spiritual circles.
