At the conclusion Of his speech cheers

THRoTTLINa THE REBELLION.


Rosecrans is growing very savage in his
talk, and promises to rival Parson Brown.
low. In his speech at Cincinnati he said :


But tell you that the only way in which
we can procure any peace is BY throttling
the enemy at the South. The people de-
plore the war, but they: are held by the
neck the military power has got them un'
der its heel. You cannot, therefore, make
peace with them. The only way is to keep
tightening the cords around them to get
them SO broken that the conservative peo.

Under the above caption the Herald in
an editorial article, states that Rosecrans,

said that aif the forces recently sent to
Chattanooga had been ordered there before,

The Herald says Rosecrans was removed
"because he could not see with admiration

were matters Of secondary consideration.

q CANS SENT TO FORT LAFAYETTE.


Among the city items in the Herald We
find the following paragraph:


United States Marshal Murray made
some very highly important arrests in this
city yesterday, and succeeded in getting,
with the parties, large number of docu-
ments of very valuable character The
contents of these have not yet been diyul.
ged, nor has it been deemed prudent to
give the names of the parties arrested. The
subject matter of the papers is said to be
most peculiar and to throw light upon Ger
tain operations relative to Yallandighan1
and the rebels, with which the general pub
lie has not been made acquainted. Some
of them may, at some future time be given
to the public press; but are held back at
present for agood and sufficient reasons "
The parties arrested were yesterday convey
ed to Fort Lafayette in carriages, by the
proper officers. Itmay not be contraband
to state that three Of the parties are we'll
known business men and merchants of this
city, and that one of them is prominent
republican.
