"THE BLOODY SHIRT.n
A New Shred to Catch Votes This
Campaign.

LoUI svILLE, October 22.-The Times pub
fishes an interesting column concerning a
Northwestern conspiracy attempt of the
Confederate government during the war to
release Southern prisoners in the North
and enlist into active service the Sons of
Liberty and anti-Lincolnists, Copperheads
ETC., throughout Ohio, Indiana and illinois,
in gigantic attempt to create division
which would relieve the pressure upon the
army of the front. The active operations
were in charge of Judge Thomas Il. Hines,
with John Casteman as chief adviser. This
episode in the secret history of the war
times, has been forced into public notice by
topics, and the details are mainly taken
from papers in the hands OF Chief Jus.
tice Hines, of Kentucky. The success OF
the conspiracy was to have been largely de-
pendent upon a very large class In the
North who were dissatisfied with the ad
ministration. The story involves scheme
to capture the only gunboats on
the lakes, attack Chicago, release the Con-
federate prisoners at Camp Chase, attack
st. Louis and the general uprising of the
northwestern copperheads.
