FURTHER FACTS FROM THE REBEL AR
UH1vEs. - The National Republican
Committee will shortly publish further
extracts from the rebel archives. They
will bear especially upon the rebel at
tempt to burn the Northern cities, and
will show that there were other and
more devilish schemes at work to carry
destruction and death to the people of
the North. These attempts are so hor-
rible that the mind shrinks from believ-
ing them, but all the facts are well au-
thenticated, and names are given, SO that
the genuineness of the documents cannot
be doubted. 1t is significant fact, too,
that of the persons most prominent in
these schemes nearly all of the names
are now found recorded as supporters of
Greeley and Brown.

Fitzpatrick.

Our State and other States have been
Judson Fitzpatrick, in advocacy of the
Liberal Democratic cause, and the can
didate, Horace Greeley. He rehearses
everywhere that he has nothing to de-
tract from Grant as a soldier, but is deal
ing with Grant the politician, dealing
out those thread bare stories of presents
| from Borie, Stewart, Butterfield and
Murphy, asserting that he Fitzpatrick
was wounded three times before Grant
made up his mind whether he would go
to the war or not His speech is diver
sified in addition to his arraignment of
the President by attacks upon leading
Republicans. Latterly he has applied
himself to q perversion of Secretary
Boutwells Innocent remark at Colds
boro, North Carolina, that the bloody
chasm between the North and the South
must be filled up by according the full
rights of citizens of the United States to
all the people of the South without dis
tinction of race or color, to interpret Mr..
Boutwell, as calling for moIe victims to
fill the bloody chasm. This transparent
disingeneousness, like the absurd story
that Gen. Grants father said that 'EUlys-
SEES never was a smart boy" and the eX-
travagant talk of cannon laundering on
eUery public square in New York, when
Greeley was nominated, reminds the
Generals listeners of his famous yarn
about the sheeted mummies rising up in
ranks during a Sonth American
earthquake which he witnessed.
One of Gen. Kilpatrick's characters
tic Inaccuracies, is that he was wounded
three times before Grant made up his
mind to go into the war. Let us ex-
anime this statement. Cullom's Register
the West Point ''triennial." shows that
Judson Fitzpatrick graduated at the
Military Academy May 9th, 1861, and
was wounded at Big Bethel, June 10th,
1861, after which time he was absent on
a sick leave, or in the defenCes of Wash
ington, for the rest of the year. The
same accurate records shows that Ulys-
SEES Grant, commanded a company of
Illinois volunteers in April, 1861, a
month before Fitzpatrick graduated and
was continuously in the service of his
country from that time forward to the
end of the war. 1t is Of small moment
to inquire, whether Grant entered the
service in April or May, few days be-
fore or after Fitzpatrick received his
wounds (Which he eXagerates into three
but it may not be altogether waste of
time to bring Gen. Fitzpatrick for once
to the book.
The plain fact appears to be, that
General Fitzpatrick was for Grant, and
an office, four years ago. and got his
Office but which heshas since lost. He
is now for Greeley and an office, seeing
