This plan will be successfully executed if tho
Confederate authorities do not dcvlso a method
of defending the roads. It is useless to resist,
if the cavalry can ri le in about the time the work
is completed aud undo it 111 a ciiiinle of hours.

ibe roads by other ineaus than the single met hod
hitherto utttiuptcd, because that method bus
proven utterly and iuvariuhly iudlVtual there
has not been a solitary exception in the course of

The single method yet Imagined or tried is, to
Fend our Confederate cavalry in pursuit of tho

At lhe time Gem ral Sherman was making tils
famous r. ill in Mi.-sissippi. Major-Gcncral L. li.
lioussiau, comnnuiding the district of Nashvilie,
pioposed 10 (iencial On-nt a conceited iuom
m lit i'iuhi Decatur upon Selma, AI ibuina. Ho
had obtained a great deal of v-vluaM" lul'or.outio.i
icgitrding the louto and tho vulnerability of
Sclmn, and was anxious to make tlio movement.
Hut us the raid of Genera) Micrmun was iusti-
tuttd only lor the purpose of so thoron 'lily de
stroy irg ti e MistdsHippi railroads that no exten
sive Ion e of llebel iniantry couhl operate against
the points on tho Mississippi river, which u was
ir,t titled to weaken iu order to prosecute the
preterit campaign, and did not contemplate the
occupation of Selma, General llousscau's propj
sitit u was declined.
Ijitely, however, General Sherman, foe-xuning
desirous of the dt struct on of the railroad bo
tweeu Mt ntgoiiiery, Ala., and Columbus, Oa.,
ordciid General Rousseau, June ;i, to make
(reparations for a raid upon the road between
the points named ; and this raid, as ordered, is
the one upon which General Housscau departed
last evening. 1 he t ole purpose or the raid Is. as
bt foie staled, the destruction of the railroad.
1 his is to fie done so eilectually as to cut off
for the rest of the w ar the line bv which the Rebels
get their snppliosof beef, Ac. Orders were given
and preparations made for the destruction of the
rails I y twisting and burning them with the tics,
bnr)gs, water tanks, Ac; tho blowing up of
culverts, locomotives, machine and Oovorninont
shops, arsenals, fVc.
orders were ulso given for the destruction of
Opt-liku, the point at which the C lumbus road
diverges from the Atlanta, West 1'olnt, and Mont
gomiry road. Hy the complete destruction of
this point General Sherman hopes to cut off
Montgomery fiom comuiunlratiou by both routes
with the east.
General Uoussean boors to Irretrievably de
stroy Ibe railroads Irom Montgomery to Colum
bus and V est Tolnt, and if practicable, tho
gteatcr part of the Rvbel government property iti
.Montgomery, commons, luskegee, and tue
principal points along his route.
jtav ng completed uu nis preparations, nna
having on the 4th instant received the final orders
to moe, General Rousseau and stall left head
quartets In this city on ihcHtli.
TIIK 1-AiniNO SL'KNKS.
The party left with tbe idea that they might
bind in a Southern prison, but congratulated
thmselves that Grant had cut otf tlio route to
Libby. With this view of a arisou lu their minds,
tbe party mude nil preparations for a Southern
residmcc, and quite an amusing scene was wit
nessed at headquurters in tbe closing and baluue
Ingot accounts, writing farewell letl.-rs and giv
ing directions for the disposition of private
proptrtv.

General Sherniun's order for tho ruld restricted
the force 10 about two thousand five hundred.
The men arc all veterans, recruits of the regi-
inots hav Ing been left Itehind. General Hons
erau and Colonel llsrrlson left very confident of
success. Hotb am fighting, energetic men. and
if sueee'i is possible they will accsmnlisli the
task laid out for them.
1 bo route to lie taken hy General Houssian is
one that bus never been followed bcretolore
during tbe war, though it is nearly Identical with
tho "truce pursued bv General .lacksou In Ibe
war against the Creek Indians. The first point
of any importance on the routo is Htonutsville,
the next Asiivllle. A few miles bjyoud Ashrllle
is the Coosa 1 iver.
General Sherman first directed Rousseau to
make the crossing at Ten Islands, but subse
quently this was changed so as to allow him to
cios at the nearest lord, lie Is thou to move
rapidly up the Talladega aud the nearest bralgo
or ford over the Tallupomu river. The route
betwt i n these two streams is to be very rapidly
pursued, and tbe bridges are to be completely
destroyed.
Tbe passage ( f tho Tallapoosa will, in all pro
bability, lie made nt I ehois-ke. and will brine
the force Into Datlcvilie. Mountain roads will
curry it to the r.iilrotd at couveniont p nuts,

Returning aitcr the destruction of these rotids,
Koutoi au is to move up the west sideol the Chat
tahoochee, if the opportunity oilers, and join
General bhennun between Marietta and the Chat
tahoochee river. If this route is threatened by
tho enemy, Rousseau is to make straight for I'en
tacola, and take vessels to New Orleans and
thence to Nashville again.
THE IMl'OHTAN T POINT.
In bis orders General Micimaii alludes to
Montgomery, Opeliku, ond Columbus, as being
the impoitunt points ; but I do not know that in
sti uctions were given him to attack cither Mont
gomery or Columbns.
Orders wi re issued for the destruction of
0K lika. Sclma is alluded to in the orders as a
point of secondary importance.

Tho Rebel General John 1). Hood, heretofore

before the Secretary of tho Navy, w ho alone had
power to act in the case. From Simons' yard
the committee reported that tho increase was
granted. From John W. Lynn the report was
the same.
Nearly nil the other yards reported that although
it would lc di-iidvaiitHgcous to then; at pre .cut
to inerca-e the wages, yet If it was a general
thing tho demand would be acceded to. A reso
lution was then adopted that tbe shipwrights of

St. Loi is, July 23. Much surprise was ex
cited a short time since by the arrest of several
very prominent Secessionist of this city, whose
ollenres were unknown. It has come to light,
however, that tbey weie connected with a con
spiracy extending throughout the entire Missis
sippi Valley, having for its object the erection of
a Nonhwesb rn Confederacy. ' ' '
Colonel Sanderson, Provost Marsbal-Geaefal
of this department, has been gathering erUeec
in the matter for several months, which is aof
In possession of the Washington authorities.
It Implicates many public men, and shows tbat
an oiganixation has been foimed which is very
dongcious. One of the unestod p irtles is said to
buve Ik en so badly frightened that he offered a
bond of 8 (00,000 for his rcleise. , , . '
It is believed the recent guerilla movement 1st
this Stale had some connection with this scheme,
particularly as Thornton, In a speech at Polka
City, a d ibe "Knights of the Golden Circle are)
organized and armed to rise throughout ih
Kne Sietes. Vallundignam Is with them. I ana
ValiuDtligham's man, and I have troops in every
county in this State, and men are coming to ma
from the South. I bve raised 1S00 nien la Illi
nois, and they will Join me, and will destroy IU
Hannibal and St. Joseph's Railroad on their
march." , . .
DuiiiigColoncl Sanderson's investigations IBM
this conspiracy be discovered lbs intended .re
newal of the bout burning on tbe Western ritsrs,
and was able In several Instance! to avert stripja
consequences.
It is probable tbe whole matter will be ven
tilated In a few days. ' " u
The affair at Plattsburg, Clinton county," oa
Thursday, was not so bad as previously reported.
After Captain Tamer's death, Captain Po)
took command, and made such a detersllne4
show of resistance tbat the guerillas left In the)
direction of Hay nosville, and thence moved Jes
trrdsy into Pialte county. Their , reported
strength is 800. . ,
General Osterbaas arrived throe days ago from
Shi rman's army, and says that no part of John
ston's force has gone to Richmond, but one corps
baa been sent after General Smith In Mississippi.

Habhisiii ho, July 23. Governor Morton, of
Indiana, was in this city yesterday, and bad an
Interview with Governor Curtin, duriDg which
some conversation occurred In reference to the
eflorts to be made for robing recruits la rebel
lious States, to fill up the quotas of the draft
about to be made In tbo loyal 8tates.
Governor Morton is of tbe opinion tbat the
plan will succeed admirably, as is Governor Cur
tin also, both agreeing, however, tbat tbe suc
cessful wotk ng of tbe system will depend upon
the cure with which tfileient agents are selected
to conduct recruiting operations.
Governor Morton left Hirrisbnrg yesterday,
accompanied as far as Huntingdon by Governor
Curtin, who goes to Bedford for a few weeks to
