The Conspiracy lor the Formation of a North western Confederacy. -vt xst'~ Y -T i\; , T ST. Lotts, July 28.— The Demorrat publishes a long accOuut of the conspiracy for the erection of the Northwestern. Confederacy referred to a few days since. The organizatioti engaged in this conspiracy is knows as the Order oi" American Knights, and its objects are to embarrass the "Government in the con duct of the war, and overthrow the Government it necessary for the supremacy of the order. t*. pro fessions and purposes are different in different States. It proclaims a war policy in New It ork, Pennsylva nia, New Jersey ana other Eastern States, while in the West it is for pease. The order is a Southern organization being erectedc-a the ruinsof the Knights of the Golden Circle, and General Stirling Price is supreme commander. 1 alandigham while in Hich raond was made supreme commander oCthe Northern section of the order : and a conspiracy was entered into between him and the Re be. authorities to di\ ide the East and West, and then aid the Southern rebel lion. Vallandigham's time in Panada was principal ly spent in furthering this scheme. He had a con ference with sonic of the leading spirit s in the North soon after his arrival in Canada, ami arranged for the establishment of the order .throughout the loyal The names of all who visited liitn at the Clifton House are known to the Government, among them. Wm. B. Reed, of Philadelphia : Pendleton andPugh, of Ohio, Kribben, of St. Louis ; ,Storey and Merrick, of Chicago, arc published. The results of this con ference are also known to the Government. About the first of-January Vaiinndigham issued an address tp the loyal States, in whicii he calls upon the members to renew their vows. He says, the.tiuie is fast approaching which will test their sincerity.— That the prosecution of the war is a violation of the rights of the States, and that President Lincoln is a usurper. A meeting of the grand commanders of the different States was held in. New 1 ork on the 22d of February, for the purpose of organizing an outbreak on the 10th of March, the day fixed for the draft, but no definite plan was resolved on. Jhe names of these conspirators are also known. The same commanders had a conversation with the su preme commander at IV indsor, Canada, early in April, for a general consultation. - Among those in attendance were Me Master, New York; ('has. L. Hunt, St. Louis ; Lafayette Devilin, Indiana. The programme adopted Ht these meetings was that V al landigham should represent his district in Ohio in thh Democratic National Convention, and there pro claim the doctrine of theironler. viz : —to pronounce the existing admimstratibn of the Government a power usurped, which the people had a right to espM by force if necessary; in fact, inaugurate rebellion in the North, in which he was to be supported,by the order of each grand commander, and was to have an armed 'ody guard at the Convention for the defence of Vallandighnm. This, it was thought, would pre cipitate the people of the free States into armed con flict, and would tie the signal for the members of the order to unite against lawful authorities, kill or cap ture the civil and military authorities, seize arsenals, arms, and public property of all kinds, and proclaim the Government overthrew n. There is mo6t convincing evident: of the truthful ness of this statement. The reason of Valandignam's sudden return to Ohio was the fear of being defeated as a delegate to Chicago, and it was by his presence his election was secured. The numerical strength of this order is said to be considerable over half a luilHofi- One hundred and fifty thousand are organ ized. The order in New York is called "MeClellun Minut Men." The grand commander in missouri is Chas- L. Hunt, nephew of J. H. Lucas, arid ruany years Belgian Consul: deputy grand commander, Chas. hi. Dunn, city officer of St. Louis. A long list of the names of members of the order iu different States, together with full information concerning the whole scheme, is in the hands of the authorities at Washington, and will probably be given to the public ip a short time. The Bird oi Battle. The New Albany (Indiuuna) Ledgtr tells this story: "We printed a few days ago, from an Atlanta paper, an account of a mocking bird, which, at the battle of Resaek, perched itself on the top of a tree, and during the fight imitated the whistling of the bullets and other noises incident to a battle. Another and a more touching incident of a similar character was yesterday related to us by Capt. George Babbitt, of General Gresham's staff, and one of which he was himself a witness. During the fierce canonading at Nickajack, a small bird came and perched npon the sholder of nn artilleryman—the man designated, wc believe, as "No I,' whose duty it is to ram down the charge after the ammunition is put in the gun. The piece was a Napoleon, which makes & very loud report. The bird, as wo have sta ted, percheoitsclf upon this man's shoulder and could not be driven from its position by the violent motion of the gunner. When the piece was discharged, the poor little thing would run its beak and head up un der the man's hair at the back of the neck, and when the report died awav would resume its place upon his si odder. Capt.jßabbitt fbek the bird in his hand, but when he released his grasp it immediately resu med its place on the shoulder of the smoke-begrimed gunner. The scene was witnessed bv a large num ber of officers and men. It may be a subject of curi ous inquiry, what instinct led this bird to thus place itself, Possibly frightened at the violent commotion caused by the battle, and not knowing how to escape or where to go some instinct led it to throw itself upon the gunn as a protector. But, whatever the cause, the incident was a most beautiful and pleasing one to all who witnessed it." PROCLAMATION rOR A SPECIAL ELECTION, TO BE IIELI) ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 2,1864.

A pur* a nii powerful Tonic, corrective and alternative tf wonderful efficacy in disease of the SHOMACHB LIVES AND BOWELS, Cnrw Dyspepsia, Lirar complaint, Headache, Gern-r.i d* V biHly, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Constipaton Colic, Intermittent Fevers, Cramp* and Spasms, and a|i I Complaint* of either Sex. arising from Bodily Weak: .- ! whether inherent in the system or produced by special i camses. i Nothing that 1* not wholesome, getu&i ami res'orstit-e in its nature enter* Into tbe composition of Doate.Ucr't Stomach Bitters This pupniar preparation -remains HO ! mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element ; a fiery excitant ; but it is a combinafiow of the extract! :: rare balsamic herbs and plant- with the purest' and utild eet of all diffusive stimulants It is well to be forearmed against disperse, and so ff.r a* human ?y.-fom can be protected by human tnewn against maladies engendered by an unwholesome attaovpfcefv-. :ci pure water and other external causes, Ilostetter s Bi'Am may be relied on as a safeguard. In districts infested with Deter and A (pit, it ha been found infallible as a preventive and irretistable as a rem edy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension of "an attack, escape the scourges and thousands who neg lect to avail themselves of its protective qualities re s-j --vance, are cured by a very brief course of this raarveicas medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied with quinine for monthß in rain, until fairly saturated with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfreqaently re stored to health within a few days by the,use ol' Hostet- I ter's Bitters. The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases of Dispepsia and in less confirmed foirar indigestion. Acting a* a gentle and painless nperie:::r as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Constipation superinduced by irregular action of - the di gestive and secretive organs. Persons of feeble habit, liable to A'ervou* Attack*, Lnu.- ne** of Spirit*, and Fit* of Languor, find prompt and per manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this { point is most conclusive, and from both sexes. The agony of Biliious Colie is immediately assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally res -r: iug to it, the return of the complaint may be prevent-A. As a general Tonic, Hosteller's Bitters produce effects which must be experienced or witnessed before they JUL be fully appreciated In cases of Cou*titutional Wr ii. net*, Prema&tr* Deny and Debility and Dccreptil i-ie arising from Old Age, it exercises on electric influenco. In the convalescent stages of all diseases if operates as a invigorant. When the pogers of nature are relaxed, :i operates to re-enforce and re-establish them. Last, but not least, it is The Only Safe Stimulant, being manufactured from soundand innoxious uvaterifils. and en tirely free from the acid elements present more or less is in all the ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day. No family medicine has been so universally, and it may betruly added, tloerrerily popular with the intelligec* portion of the community, as Hostetter"? Bitters. Prepared by HOSTETTER A SMITH.
