A Shenandoah Tragedy,
November Sixth.

Fifty years ago today citizens OF Chi
cago learned that a plot TO release the
Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglas
had been discovered. that prominent Con-
federate officers who had been working
in the city and members Of the Sons OF
Liberty, an anti-war "Copperhead" asso-
citation, had been arrested in the night.
and that a large quantity of arms and
ammunition had been seized by the Fed
eral authorities.
The arrest Of the conspirators brought
to sudden end a plot 20 capture Chi
cago and establish Northwestern Con-
federacy. The plot was OF Confederate
origin and had been carried on by
! liberal use OF Confederate funds The
members OF the Sons OF Liberty. all Of
whom claimed TO be patriots, were In
duced to participate in IL in hopes that
a strong demonstration would serve to
force the Lincoln administration to bring
the war TO an end
Few who have not given careful study
to that particular phase Of the war real
ize how widespread was the system and
how effective the methods by which the
Confederate agents sought to influence
public opinion in the Northern States.
There were spies. paid agents. and Con-
federate sympathizers in almost every
Northern city. especially in thosa border
ing upon Canada or the Great Lakes
The Confederates worked from Canada
Jacob Thompson, the principal Confed-
crate commissioner, made his hsadquar-
tiers In Toronto, and from there the plots
and projects developed Mr.. Thompson
had been Secretary of Interior in Presi-
dent BBehanan's Cabinet. and had a wide
acquaintance in the States where he and
his assistants now were working.
The project OF establishing North
western Confederacy was but one Of
many that Mr. Thompson tostered. There
had been two attempts TO release the
Confederate prisoners At Johnsons Island
in Lake Erie Only a few weeks before,
in september, the North had been star
tied by the capture OF two steamers on
Lake Erie by a party OF Confederates
bent on seizing the U. s. S. Michigan at
Sandusky. and destroying commerce on
the Lakes.
There was also on foot a plot to burn
New York City. which was to come to
head on November 8. -
Plan to Seize Chicago.
The project Of establishing the North
western Confederacy was one upon which
Mr.. Thompson had spent much. time and
lavished great pains. The support Of all
disloyal residents Of the North had been
enlisted. The military branch Of the Sons
Of Liberty had been brought into the
plan. which had developed rapidly.
Capt. Thomas H. Hines. formerly a
member of Gen. John Morgan's Cavalry
Raiders, who had escaped from the Ohio
Penitentiary with Morgan in November,
1858, had been sent TO Canada by the
Confederate government There, after
reporting to Mr.. Thompson. he had been
Joined by Col. ST. George Leger Granfel, a

and had gone with him to Chicago to
complete the work of arrangements for

It was planned to have the uprising
take place on November s. Presidential
election day, when IL was thought that
the prisoners could be released and
armed, the railroad terminals, telegraph
wires. banks, and arsenals seized. and

An Attack at Night,
November Fifth.

Fifty years ago today fve Federal SOL
diers were put to death beside the turn
pike between BerryvilIe and Winchester,
in the Shenandoah Valley, by order OF
Col John s. Mosby, in retaliation for the
hanging Of number Of Mosby's men
by order Of Gen. Sheridan.
This act was the elimination Of a sys-
tenn OF savage reprisal that had been
practiced by Sheridan and Mosby, under
orders from their respective superiors,
Grant and Lee, as q result OF Col Mos
by's activities IN the Shenandoah Valley.
The Federals claimed Mosby was a
guerrilla, and therefore an outlaw not
entitled to the protection OF the laws Of
war. Grant had ordered his men hanged.
Sheridan had hanged six In August in
the Shenandoah Valley. Gen. George A.
Custer, commanding a cavalry division,
had hanged six at Front Royal in Sep
tember, and Gen. William H. Powell,
commanding another division, had
hanged one at Gaines crossroad on oe-
tober Il
Mosby did not retaliate for the first six.
possibly because he did not know OF their
deRth. At the time Of their death, how

men having been tried at Washington and
sent to the peritentiary at Albany, he
had ordered MAJ. w. II. Forbes and Capt.
George A. Manning Of the. Second Mas

Southern penitentiary until the two
rangers were treated as prisoners OF war.

Powell took place, Col Mosby was ab-
