The Plot Against the PresIdent-Im.
pOrtant Letter from the Secretary o.
Buffers ASsassinatiOn Committee.

From the National I1lteligencer, Augusta
The development of the conspiracy against
the President of the United States is growing
hourly. A large portion OF the evidences of the
criminality of the conspirators we do not at
present deem necessary or expedent to pub
iish There has evidently been somehow a
proyidential break in the great conspiracy, and
each one of the subordinates Is trying TO save
himself by an early confession The testimony
already accumulated is fearful. The pan ties
implicated may seek in vain to hide their
heads behind the epithets OF partisan newspa-
pers, but this viii avail them nothing Their
guiltiness is acknowledged by their confede-
rates, and they must abide the issue and con.
sent TO be held up to public scorn and execra-
tion as well as punishment for their attempted
crimes
The Chief of the Bureau of Military Justice,
the trusted and valued friend, counsellor, aud
coadjutor OF the treacherous Secretary of War,
who has been plotting the ruin of the county
in this matter, appears to be deeply and irreVo-
cably implicated in this conspiracy with mis-
old associate and manager Of testimony-Con-
over, alias Dunham.
The original of the following letter, in the
handwriting of the Reverend Mr.. Matchett, will
be produced whenever necessary. We have
seen IL, and had IL identified by more than one
witness as the handwriting of the reverend
associate and alder and abettor of perjury and
conspiracy 1t Will be seen that this letter, con-
