A, Rees, VELVET CLOAKS, CLOTH CLOAKS, BILKS, SHAWIiSj DRESS GOODS, RAPSON^S ®'|e 's.ress. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 1860. The Treason of General Charles [From the New York Times.] Two questions of peculiar difficulty have long perplexed- the historians of the war of American independence—the Conway Cabal and the singular conduct’ of Charles Leo in the Jerseys and at Mon month. The researches of Mr. Sparks have gone far towards clearing up the obsoarities of the for. mer; the first part, especially of the latter, and In'ductlveiy ‘ the tfholb of It, forms tho subject of the volume boforo us. General Lee died in Philadelphia on the 2d of October, 1782 His letter-hooks and papers passed Into the hands of William Goddard, of Baltimore, editor of the Maryland Journal, in which Lee’s ill timed attack upon the character of Wsshin jlon, under the title b’f “Some Queries, Political and Military*'Humbly Offered to ihe Cohaldefati&n of the Pabllo,” had originally appeared)' end one of tho four legatees to whom he beqneafhedhls land od estate in Berkeley. Soon uftor'th*. death of Genoral Lee,- Mr. Goddard issued proposals for Che publication of select portihnß oV his papers in throe'volumes—a publication which, by the Im portant ddfontofits it wouldhave contained, and the no less important ones whlhh-it woulif uhdonbt edly have oilled'-forth from authentic eed&ftS,'wi der the form of ooifcbjentand answer* would have rendered gfeat BOrvioc to American history. tJn jbrtasately, the plan was never oarrlod oat, and it was not till 1792 that an imperfect substitute appeared in a single octavo of 439 pages, pro* pared by Edward Langworthy, of Georgia, In 1757, setat' to England for pnbHostion,- and . brought' out at last as a contrihdfclori to the his-" tofy of the “ mother-revolution,*” under the excite ment awakened by tho revolution Of 1 Franoe. A biographioel sketch, a reprint of several essays, traots, and squibs, and About a hundrod letters to and from Gen. Lee* make tip the volume; too evi dently the work of an ardont admirer to be ac cepted as a trustworthy guide in disputed ques tions. Many years passed away, and Lee seemed to have taken his place in the history of the war, as a iban of great military experience, fine talents, and liberal Sentiments, but of a disposition so way ward, each impulsiveness of passion, and suoh a natural turn for saroasm and invective, as to have detracted materially from the valuo of his services as a soldior, and the pleasure of his sooiety as a friend. This impression was confirmed by tho elaborate biography drawn from family sources by his matornal relative, Sir Henry Banbury, and still more by that which Mr. Sparks, already familiar with the subjeot through his previous stu dies, wrote In 1845, with the Goddard collection before him. And while a oertain diversity of opinion prevailed concerning particular acts, the severest censure phased upon him was, that he was arrogant and vain, and the sternest condemnation, that he had yiolded to an ambition too oommon to be classed among unpardonable sins! It was not, therefore, without a mlxturo of in credulity and surprise that we learnt that Mr. Moore had in his possession a paper in tho hand writing of General Leo, which proved him to have been a traitor to tho American oause under oir onmstanoes of peculiar infamy. As librarian of an important historioal'institution, Mr. Moore had won for himself a reputation which gave groat weight to his opinions. He was familiar with the study of manusoriptdooumonts. He possessed too sound a judgment to tako up on opinion lightly; too sincere a lover of truth to bo led astray by the search of novelty, and had drawn his ethtQß from too pure a souroe to do wilful wrong to the ohar&o ter of the living or of the dead. On tho other hand, it seemed Btrange that so in teresting, a fast should have been kept secret during eighty-three years, and long after all personal mo tives of oonooalment had passed away with the persons themselves ; that men skilled in the inter , pretation of humnn tflotitesj end suffering from the mysterious waywardness of a collesgde ataoritioal hear, should never have suspected that colleague of anything worso than wilfulness and arroganoo; that systematic treachery should have been so uniformly concealed by oaprlolons bearing as to have escaped detection evon when extended to acts that hardly soomod to admit of any other interpre tation; end that so many historians, writing under suoh different influences, and seeing their subject from such different points of view, should have con curred In praising a man for qualities whioh he never possessed, and attributing to him services which he nevor performed. Still it'was & question not of opinion, but of evi donoo, susoeptible of demonstration by the same processes that apply to other questions of faot, and too important, noth in itself and in its bearing upon other questions, to be lightly received or hastily set »iie. The debt that wo owe to the prat is a holy debt. The men who won tor us the independence whioh has made us a great nation, won for themselves a claim to that honor whioh we oro especially commanded to cherish for the au thors of our being, that our days may be long In tho land which our God hath given ns. Woe to tho country that forgets her great men, or suffers an unmerited imputation to be oast upon their me mory ! And woo, too, to her who permits arro gance and presumption to usdrp. tho place of merit, and makes hor praise worthless by bestowing it without discrimination upon the corrupt and on the pure! In the oaso of Gen. Loo, tho whole question turns upon the authenticity of the doenmont upon whioh this startling accusation is founded. For, if it oould be shown that tho letter attributed to him was actually his composition, it would be impossi ble to deny any of the conclusions whioh Mr. Moore has drawn from it. And here the principles of investigation are so simple, that it is difficult for ono familiar with suoh inquiries to go astray. In the winter of 1857-8, a stranger called upon Mr. Moore .at the library of the New York His torical Sooiety, and offered him several documents relative to the history of the War of Independence, among whioh was a paper in the handwriting Of Charlos Lee, filling eight psges of foolscap, and endorsed in the handwriting of Henry Straohoy, Scorotary to the Royal Commissioners, Lord Howe and Sir William Howe, as “ Mr. Lee’s Plan, 29th Maroh, 1777.” It was evident that these papers, if genuine, must hare bolongcd originally oither to the collection of one of the Howes, or to that of Mr. btmohoy, and had found their way to the United States by one of those accidents to which all private collcotione are.exposed in passing through tho hands of heirs ana legatees, not always sufficiently interested in thorn to watoh over their weservaUon. They could hardly bo forgeries; for orgeriea are never committed without a motive, and there could bo no motive for forging a paper UkoMr. Leo’s Plan/’ at suoh a distance of time, and under oircumstanocs like those under which it was first brought to light. Of the handwriting thoro could be no doabt; for Leo’s is of that pecu liar kind, whi«h though not hard to imitate in single lotters, is of all the most difficult to imitate successfully as a whole. The character which it gives to a page is one of singular homogeneity; drawn, you would say, from the ohar&oter of the writer’s mind, and betraying thoso secret workings, which thdngh unrevealcd by words, often find ex pression in actions which we thoughtlessly call meohanioal Thero is an air of boldness about it, which at the first glance would give you the im pression of a frank and open nature, Booming oon oealmont, and going directly to Us objeot. But as you look at it more closely doubts begin to arlso; kero and there signs of hesitation shew them selves, a certain dissatisfaction steals over you ns you observe the sharp angles, the harsh outlines, the uttor want of harmony, tho lotters that seem every now and then to shrink away and try to hide themselves from observation in the midst of their blustering companions Compare it with the bold, firm, seeure teach of Washington’s- the letters clinging together like parts of an uniform whole, and the line 3, though distinct and regular, sot close, as if from fullness of thought, combined with habits of prompt and decisive action. There are few handwritings which it would bo more difficult to imitate in a document of any length than Gen. Loo’s. Mr. Strachey’s, though not equally well known, is enough so to leave no doubt as to the genuine ness of the endorsement: a circumstance which, as far as our belief in the authenticity of the docu ment depends upon tho question of chirography, would eoem to be decisive in itself; for why should a forger add voluntarily to the difficulties of his task and the ohances of detection by undertaking to imitate two well-known hands instead of one? Ihe booodA tost, the evidenoo of style, is equally decisive. Geu. Lee’s style is that of a man of good sooioty, familiar with the use of the pen, and ambitious of saying smart things in a striking way. His language Is rather that of a man of the world than of asoholar; abounding in idioms and the phraseology of social lifo, belonging to the age of the Loungor and Mirror, rather than that of the Tattler and Spectator, and betraying a leaning to mannerisms of Junius which wo should naturally look for in one who was willing to be thonght the author of the most celebrated political letters of tho ago. But an oooasion like this was not suited to the display ef hia stronger points and more oha. raoteristlo traits as a writer, bimplioity, perspi cuity and directness, are all that we should look for iu the more exposition of a plan of action; and a careful comparison of the letter to Sir William Howo, with the other compositions of the same class whioh were acknowledged by Gen. Lee, would con vince the most inorodulcus that they might easily have come from the same pon. It was by the evidence of the handwriting that Mr. Mooro was led to purchase these documents; having gained possession of thorn, he was enabled to add to that first evidence, proof of another character, drawn from the principal document it self. This document is a plan of action drawn up by Gon. Lee, to enable tho English leaders to “ bring matters to a oonolusion in the most com pendious manner.” It Is based upon the supposi tion that, in “the continuance of tho war, Amorioa has no ohance of obtaining the ends she proposes to horself;” and proposes, as a death-blow to the power of Congress, the occupation ef a new line upon the Potomao Bivor and Chesapeake Bay, bringing tho war to the doors of the wealthy Ger man farmers of Pennsylvania and Maryland, and effectually cutting off the communication between the Northern and Southern States. New, as this plan was the very rovers© of the one agreed upon by Sir William Howo and the English Ministry, disoussed and digested during the winter, and sud denly changed within three days after the receipt of Mr. Lee’s communication, are we not justified In oonoluding that it was that communication whioh produced tho change ? The Eoglish Goneral had made his preparations to aotby the Hudson Biver, and in conjunction with the army of Canada. He did act by tho Chesapeake Bay, attacking Penn sylvania from tho south, and leaving the army of Canada to its own resources. That he did not adopt tho whole of Lee’s plan may have proceeded * Wa.

Tholreporfc was found r to' have been caused by theexploeion of the boiler of the Sailer Globe, Oapt. Amos Pratt, lying at Hale’s , between Clark and Wells-street bridges. . The Globe loft Buffalo one week ago this morn ing, with, eight or nine passengers and a cargo of 3,000 barrels of apples, and a large quantity of stovbs and other hardware. She'arrived at this port this morning «fc half; past four. ,At the time, of the accident ail of tho passengers had left the boat. The engineers and firemen were in the en gine-room taking off a cylinder head. The steam’ had been blown off from one of the boilers and the fire put out. The other boiler had but little steam on,, ss they had just commenced getting it up to boiat freight. Too second mate-informs us that there was net more than ten pounds on at the time. labile thus engaged, the boiler exploded with terrific force, tearing the propeller into atoms, and strewing the housetops, streets, and the river with the splintered debris. As soon as possible, a Urge gang of firemen, under the supervision of Chief Engineer Harris, aided by- oitise&s, commenced olearing away the wreck. The steamer Atlantic took her station on tho dock to be la readiness in case of fire breaking out in the hulk, but her ser vices were not required. ’ ’ Tho following were taken out dead from the rains: Mary Ann Qolden, a girl about fifteen years of ege, who was on the dock ploking up apples; James Bobbie, twenty-one years of age, and for* merly a conductor on the State-street Horse Bail way. He was on board at the time looking for seine apples which had' been consigned to him. Another body was taken out, hut so terribly dis figured, that up to the timo of going to press it haajiot been identified. ‘ " Patrick Donahoe, who was walking along the west,sfdo of Wells street,near.the bridge, was struck by a portion of the arch, and instantly killed, his head being dashed to pieces. He lived on West Harrison street, and leaves a large family. Another body was found upon the top of Hale’s warehouse, but we have not ascertained his same. He was ono of the deck hands. The crew of the Globe numbered twenty-five in all, and it is supposed that the most of them were on board. Benjamin Wilson, first engineer; Blch* ard 1 Yorsythe, second. engineer, and the four fire men, are known to have been killed How many of tho balance of the erew aro buried in the ruins it is impossible at present to.estimate - Peter Bombard, of Brie, Pennsylvania, was taken out of the ruins alive and removed to the Marine Hospital, but, we are informed, died this noon. i>avid Dunn, a drayman, was vary badly in jured by a falling beam.

The long block of buildings adjoining on the north side of tho river was shaken ss by an earthquake. The windows were all broken and oeilings destroyed. Several buildings on the west side of Wells street were cracked,and otherwise damaged. .The win dows on the rivor ride of tho Board of Trade building were all broken, and many also is Gil bert, Hubbard, A Co.’s building, on South Water street. Tho telegraph wires on Water street were snapped in several places, anft roofs of buildings at a considerable distance from the wreck were broken by falling beams.

Tho Globe was an old boat, owned by Hr. He! mer, of Lookport, N. Y. the was valued at $15,000, and insured for $lO,OOO. Thoro are many conflicting rumors upon the street rotative to the caoso of this terrible disas ter, bat the true one, as near as we can ascertain ftom oonvcra&tions with the captain and mate, is this: Tho engineer had received orders to get up steam on the donkey engine, to hoist out freight. Tho boilor was exceedingly hot, and but a trifling amount of steam on. The pumps were set at work, and the cold wator pumped In at onoe caused the explosion. The total cumber of victims to this new calami ty will probably roach fifteen. The captain in forma us that tho two engineers, four firemen, and threo deck hands are missing, and undoubt edly lost. This would giro a total loss of fifteen. One of tho bodies stated in oar first account as unknown has been identified as that of David Gibbons, who lived on Division street. The coro ner’s inquest commenced at two o’clock this af ternoon, and a thorough investigation will be made. Will of the Into Senator Broderick. A San Franclsoo correspondent writes: After a long and'pfttient investigation before the probate judge, tho will of the lata Senator Broderick has been pronounced genuine. It will be remembered that John A. MoGlynn, of this city, was left $lO,OOO, and the residue bequeathed to George Wilkes, of tho Spirit of the Times. Judge Blake remarkod: “Having duly considered the proofs, and if appearing to tho satisfaction of the court, from the proofs, that said document purporting to be tho will was executed by the said Broderfok, and tho same is his his* will and testament, and that it was executed in all particulars as required, and that at the time of the execution, the said Broderick was of sound and disposing mind, and not under restraint, undue iofluonoo or fraudulent representation, and that tho said attesting wit nesses, Hoff and Phillips, duly witnessed and at tested tho said execution of said willj and it ap pearing to tho court that eaoh and all of the alle gations and grounds of the opposition of the con testants are untrue, and no proofs haying been offered by the said contestants showing or tendi' g to show that they were of tho relation to said de oedent by them respectively alleged: and it not appearing to the court that any of said contestants are interested in said estate or will, or matters thereunto appertaining, the will is admitted to probate.” Tho effort to impeaoh the characters of the sub scribing witnesses, A. A. Phillips and J J Hoff it will be seen, has failed; and though several wit nesses declared the signature of Mr. Broderiok to the will to bo a forgery, the oourt holds otherwise. The property is supposed to be worths2oo,ooo, and the first thing proposed to be done by the exeeu tors—John A. MoGljnn and Andrew J.

Tho appeal carries the entire case before the Supremo Court. But even if that court affirms the aofJon of the probate Court, whloh is probable, tho contest mny not be over even then, for pfter the probate new proceedings may be in stituted. The effect of tho probate is to de clare tho will valid, and enable the executors to act urder it. The Grand Trank Railway.

In 1758, a linen-draper of London counter feited a note, for the first time, by cutting it into as many pieoes as there were pictures and words upon it, and employing the bast of engravers to copy them en separate plates. By printing the plates successively on one piece of paper the same effect was produced as if the wholo had been en graved on one plate- William Henry Vaughan— tor such was Ids name—was hung for his ingenuity, and Counterfeiting went on increasing unul about the year 1818,'when there were 130 executions for the crime in one year, and all for counterfeiting the notes on the Bask of England alone.
