Humored Conspiracy in Kentucky.
There is a rumor in town of a vait conspiracy, etn*
bracing several counties and cities of Kentucky, and
having for its object the annexation of that State to
the Southern Confederacy. The leadersof the treason*
able movement had, it is reported, their headquarters
at Monttcello, and were corresponding, through
Stony and Founding gaps, with Longstreet, at
Kogersville, and with ihe Kentucky delegation at
Richmond. The conspirators had, it seems, secret
affiliation with certain parties at London, Man
chester, Mount Vernon, Danville, &0., with whom
they were carrying on an aotivo correspondence.
Their plan was to establish in every county a cen
tral coix-mittee, invested with dictatorial powers, to
compel the inhabitants to join in the Southern Con
federacy as Boon as Longstreet or Breckinridge, who
arc anxiously waited for, would have invaded the
State. This infamous conspiracy was discovered, it
is said, by the seizure at the post office of letters ad
drcßteo by the Kentucky delegates to some of the
leaders ot the plot. These letters bear the signature
of the most notorious rebels, suoh as Humphrey
Marshall, G. W. Triplett, B. F. Bradley, and other

THE LATE EXECUTION OF TWENTY-FOUR NORTH
CAROLINA UNIONISTB.
Beaufort, N. C., March 9. ~When the attack was
made on Newbern, on the 2d of February last, Co.
F, of the 2d Regiment North Carolina Union Volun ■
teers, was stationed at Beech drove, the extreme
outpost from Newbern. When it became evident
that the position could not be held against the over
whelming foroe of rebels, which was rapidly ap«
pronclilDg, tbe men of this company, having the cer
alnty ol an ignominious death before tbem II tney
abould be oaptured, proposed to the officer in com
mand to pilot tbe force at the outpoit in safety to
Newbern, by paths through the woods known
only to themselves. But, unfortunately, they
were temporarily in charge of officers not belong
ing to their own regiment, who were either ig
norant of the blood thirsty character of the ene
my, or too timid to fight to the death, if flight
were deemed impracticable. Had these men been
commanded by officers of their own regiment, they
all would have escaped, or, as preferable to their
inevitable doom if taken prisoners, would have
found a more honorable death on the field. As it
was, they were sternly forbidden to leave the ranks,
and, without a shot being fired, or the stipulation
secured that they should be treated as prisoners of
war. they were surrendered, nineteen out of seventy
only escaping. Of the firty-one prisoners, twenty
four were immediately hung by order of the rebel
General Pickett. On the scaffold, at Kinston, these
twenty-four heroes met their fate with true courage.
In the presence of tbe rebel forces, and surrounded
by the people of their own State, they avowed their
entire devotion to the Union; After receiving the
consolations of religion, one of their number stepped
forward, and, in a firm and clear voice, declared
that he and his companions died, as they had lived,
u Union men.” One of tbe victims was a little
drummer-boy, named Joey Neal, only fourteen years
ol age, a lalr-complexioned, blue-eyed child, an or
phan, enlisted in Beaufort by the writer of these
lines, out of pure compassion for his destitute state:
another, a robust man, Amos Amyett, was tortured
lor fifteen minutes before the 111-adjusted rope oonld
strangle him to death. .
The rank and file of the 2d Regiment N. O. Union
Volunteers is composed of native North Uaro
)>nians, every one. of whom is threatened with the
fate of these twenty-four, if oaptured. Hiding for
months in swamps and thickets, and enduring perils
asd hardships that are almost incredible, these men,
(or such of them as are not murdered by the gue
rillas,) gaunt with huoger and clad in rags, at last
reaoh our lines.— Correspondence N. Y. Times .
CHARLESTON AND VICKSBURG.'
WATCHES 1!!
The chief of General Gilmore’s staff, who arrived
in 'Washington yesterday, is credited with the state
ment that the “ city ol Charleston is nearly all de
molished.” if this be the case, the effeot of our
projectiles upon Charleston must have been hugely
greater than in the esse of the bombardment of
Vicksburg. Though the latter place was closely
invested for ferty-four days, and our tremendous
land and river batteries played upon it incessantly
from all quarters during the whole period of invest
ment, the amount of damage done to the buildings
was quite inconsiderable. AlmosVevery house in the
city was hit, but hardly a house was “ demolished,”
or even seiiously damaged. A few houses were
tumi in one block by a fire wbioh arose from the
explosion of a shell, but by far the greater part of
the shells flung into the eity never exploded at all,
and the general effect even of the effective projec
tiles was slight; when they reaobed their maximum
damage and struck a building, it was only to leave
a hole the size of the missile.
The Richmond Examiner says:
u lt was a most ungrateful as well as cruel
business, the hanging of Mr. Weems’ negro; for,
beyond all question, had tbe darkey been able to
make the James river shallow enough for Dahl
gren’i purposes, or to have ferried all his followers
over to the Powbatan shore, not a man of them
would have escaped. With tbe most accomplished
guide in *ll tbe country they could not hare reached
Manchester before au alarm had raised the whole of
Powbatan and Chesterfield in their rear. And when
they should have come within striking distance of
Belle dale, it would have been to encounter a strong
guard upon ground declivities, broken and rocky,
wnolly impassable for cavalry, and exposed to the
fire ofiAtteiiEtol which the leaser knew nothing
whatever.”
Dootreu Mary E. Walker, who la well known to
many ol our citizens, writea ua from Chattanooga
an account of a singular oaaeof female martial spirit
and patriotic devotion to the flag:
Frances Hook’a parents died when she was only
three veare old, and left her, with a brother, in Chi
os go, Illinois. Soon after the war commenced she
and her brother enlisted in the 65th- il Home G-uards,”
Frances assuming the name or ** Frank Miller. ” She
seived three months, and was mastered out, without
the slightest suspicion of her sex having arisen.
She then enlisted in the 90tb Illinois, and was taken
prisoner in a battle near Chattanooga. She attempt*
ed to escape, and was shot through the oslf of one
of her limbs, while said limbs were doing their duty
in the attempt. The rebels searched her person for
papers, and discovered her sex. The rascals respect
ed her ns a woman, and gave her a separate room
while in prison at Atlanta, Georgia.
During her captivity she received a letter from
Ji if Davis, offering her a lieutenant’s commission if
she would enlist in their army. She had no home
and no lelatlves, but she said the preferred to fight
as a private soldier for the stars and stripes rather
than be honored with a commission from the rebels.
About two weeks ago she was exchanged. The tn
surgenta tried to extort from her a promise that she
would go home, and not enter the service again.
»qo home l” she said 5 «my only brother wm killed
at Pittsburg Landing, and I have no home—no
friends L 1 ’— Washington Republican.
The following is an extract from a letter from a
lady in Washington, dated March 12,1884:
“Was ever anything so dreadful as poor Ulric
Dahlgren’a fate? H saw hl« ■ervant to-day, who
escaped when his master was shot, and hid himself
in a ditch where he saw it all. He says they stripped
the body, cuttiDg off the little finger for the ring,
and carrying off his artificial leg, which was one of
Palmer’s most beautiful and expensive inventions.
When they left, the negro servant came out 01 tse
ditch, and dragged his master’s body some distance,
hoping to hide it and bury it, but, another party ap
pearing, he had to bide again. The second party
jitchea the body over a fence, and, digging a shal
ow tiench, thrustit in naked, and stamped the earth
u The next day they returned and put the body Of
the poor boy in a box, and carried it to Richmond.
The negro was rescued by a friendly black, after
spending twenty-four hours in the wet dltoh. H—
asked the servant whether Dahlgren really
livered to his men the atrocious address which the
Richmond papers ascribe to him, and he said he
heard him say nothing of the kind! H saw the
Richmond paper describing how he lay exposed at
the depot, lor crowds to gaze and jeer at, and was
then buried 4 in a hole, like a dog, a fit burial for
such a wretch.’ And this was the end of as gallant
a young soldier as ever lived, who, at twenty-one,
bad lost a leg in his country’s service. It seems a
small revenge! _
**?AX the battle on Roanoke Island, Governor
Wise’s son, Jennings, was shot, while leading the
Confederate troops, and mortally wounded. He was
laid in the tent of one of General Burnside’s staff.
He did not know he must die, and Bent to ask Burn
side if he would let him go on parole. The General
gent him word that when he was able he should go
on parole. He died in four hours with one of our
officers and an English officer with him, who gave
him water, and did what little could be done to alle
viate his sufferings. When, two days after, the Go
vernor sent for Jennings’ body, it was given him.
Rather a contrast in the two storieß. I can’t rejoioe
enough that poor Ully was shot dead in his saddle.
If be had lived to suffer, in the power of such fiends,
it would have been fearful. I have known him from
a child, and a finer fellow never lived.”
Thb Mains Liquor Law at Richmond,— lt
Would seem, that Neal Dow has not spent the winter
at Ricbmond without a purpose. The rebel Legis
lature sitting there has actually passed an anti-li.
cense law, so that svery grog-shop In Riehmond,
and we suppose in rebet Virginia, will be perma
nently sealed up on the first day of May. What is
most singular, is the fact that the bill passed both
branches by a vote of three to one.
The Examiner is disposed to sneer at the rampant
Puritanism which has broken loose, and irreverently
intima es that 44 the bill found advocates among
members of both brandies who have hitherto been
supposed to illustrate, by a daily crooking of the el
bow, the great evil oomplained of.” But it seems
that Lee requested the passage of such a law, and
his request amounts to a command.—■fFaflft. Chron
Whipping Gaublsbs. —We learn from the
Richmond Examiner that the rebel Legislature some
time since enacted that faro-dealing should be pun
ished with whipping, and that a dozen of the mem
bers were among the first victims—at least the first
caught.
When the anti license law was under considera
tion, a member stated that he would move to make
the penalty for its violation the same as for gam
bling ; or, as he phrased it, to put a 44 stinger” into
the bill, but that he feared it might be the means of
entrapping some of his colleagues.
Henry Clay and William fcloyd Garrison.
Mr. John G. Whittier writes as follows to the
Boston Transcript in relation to the statement that
Henry Clay secured the release of Mr* Garrison
from prison In Baltimore, in 1830:
44 The facts in the oase are simply these: During
the imprisonment of my friend Garrison, I ventured
to address a line to Henry Olay, hiking him to use
his influence with his political and personal friends
in Baltimore to procure his release* I neither asked
nor expected him to pay himself the fine and oosts*
I had no definite idea upon what terms, if at all, his
release could be effected, or whether, in the words of
Dumbedikes to Jennie Deane, 4 Siller would do it. ’ My
appeal, wisely or otherwise, was made to a aim
tinguished political man in behalf of one of his most
ftreent supporters, Who must have been already
KDOwn to nim as the flnt editor in New England to
nominate him for the Presidenoy in an able and
vigorous article published in the Bennington (Vt.)
Journal of the Times , of March 27,1829, and whloh
was widely copied and commended. It is proper to
•ay that my Utter was written without the knowl
edge 01 my friend Garrison. . „
s. jg a letter which I received some time after from
the Kentucky statesman, be informed me that he
had wj itten to a friend in Baltimore, in conformity
with my wishes; but that he had just learned from
bis coirespondent that he had been anticipated, and
that the liberation had been effected without the aid
he would otherwiie have given. The fine and oosts
were, in fact, paid by Arthur Tappan, Esq., or New
York.
44 The promptness of Henry Olay’s response to my
appeal was honorable in itself, and characteristic of
one who was always true to his political and per
gonal friends. The implied charge of ingratitude
eugseaied by my old friend Prentioe is perhaps
hardly worth notiolog* What Henry Clay proposed
to do for Garrison was no more than he would have
done, and should have done, for any one who had
established a similar claim upon bis favor.
44 As to myself, I could scarcely be said to be an
4 entire stranger* to him, for, young and obßoure as I
was, 1 had in the Boston Manufacturer advocated his
claims with such zeal and earnestness that I was so

position sed avowed sentiments of Henry Olay is
certainly tiue. But} for myself, I can say that this
was always done more in sorrow than in anger, and,
accompanied with a profound regret that one in
many respects so noble, and endowed with such won
derful gifts, should allow his great influence to be
felt in support of a system which his reason and
conscience condemned.”
Abolitionism Accomplished.
The Universe, the Catholic organ of this Diooese,
is Independent of politic., and anything but an "Ad
ministration journal.” Its oensure of (Jen. Butler,
and of the colored race, are equally unjust and un
founded. But it fairly admit., with Ur. Brooks In
Congress, and the Tammany HaU Committee, that
slavery it dead. As tt Is the first Catholic paper of
the country, the admissions of the following artiole
are interesting and valuable. It la very Benslbly en
titled “ Faot.:»
" The Abolitionist, did certainly rant a great deal
before the war commenced; history, will, might,
could, would or should stigmatize them a. principal
cau.es of the rebellion; Md they now both say and
do a great many thingtlj-whloh, perhaps, neither
reason nor moderation bin vindicate; hutthey have
contrived to get all the military power of the coun
try into their hand.; they have virtually conducted
thine, according to their owndlsoretlon; and the It sue
now teally and abtolutely If, that the overthrow of
the rebellion dt pend, upon the subversion of slavery.
This may be proved to be fortunate. It may be proved
to be unfortunate, It may be preyed to be an Indiffe
rent thing: but, whatever moral complexion it has,
it is a fact. The attitude the Northand South assume
to each other establiihe* it to be a faot. Is It Abo
litionism to write this way 1 It Is not. There are
no sentiments, no prejudices here uttered, we sim
ply present a stern fact that exists. If we presented
the last that a tempest had destroyed a eertain num
ber of houses, would the act of presenting the occur
rence prove us to have been the tempest 1 ■ It would
not. Neither does presenting the fsot that the re
pression of the rebellion requires the overthrow of
slavery prove us to be diseased with what Brownlow
sarcastically designated the malady of nigger on the
brain. We are cold-blooded on the sutyeet. Nor la this
staitlicg fact lnsolttude. There exists with itthe fast
that slavery Is virtually endangered forever by the
war. Is It not a fsot that the Abolitionists command
all the power of the North 1 It is. lilt not a faot that
we Democrats are unable to wrench that power out
of their hands 1 It is. Is it not a,faot that the power
of the South must, per foroe, give way to the power
of the North 1 It is. And is it not a fact that
the Abolitionists are determined to oarry out
their prlnoiple, aa first conceived by themselvec,
and M now enforced on the entire country by
the resolve of tbe rebels to subdue the North!
It Is. It is, therefore, a faot that slavery Is
doomed. We, the Demooraoy, do not like this:
but our dislike eau effect nothing: there are faots
before us, and, nolens volens, we must aeospt them.
What are we to del Bet us gracefully make the
best of a disagreeable condition of tbings-let us act
like men. We really have nothing to apprehend
fiomthe liberation of the blacks. When Wendell
Phillips and other extreme men like him, tell us
that the black raoe is nobler than the white, that
amalgamation is advisable, and that the true great*
uni of America will be aonieved by negroes, we oan
.fiord to laugh at their extravaganoe. Emancipa
tion will benefit the negro, but it will not make
him the equal of the white, either physically, or men
tally, or morally; it will not induce amalgamation,
and it will not, for nothing oan put (a. some dema
cogues say) the blacks above us. To dread the eman
cipated black is unworthy of white men. The con
dition of things, then, Is this—that the defeat of the
rebels requires the destruction of slavery—the war,
or the Abolitionist* who eonduot It, have virtually
deatroyed slavery, and that from the destruction of
slavery there is nothing to be apprehended. The re
bellion has put many deeply-sested political senti
ment, out of existence. It i« the part of decency
and common sense to aoeept fasts* Lbs til not be
Ike blind rams butting our heads against stone
walls, some of our eontemporarie. persist in at
tacking the Abolitionists. There may be pleasure
in this, but tbere is no good in it. The Abolitionists
have won the game, and the longer we refuse to ao
knowledge the fact the more surely they will defeat us m
other points.

explain the remarkable faot that a 11 nigger,” while
he is a slave, can travel in steamboats and railroad
ears, not only without molestation, but can be hail
fellow well met with the very upper orust of white
men; but that the same "nigger,” an hour after

nasty, stinking creature, to .be objected to, insulted,

A St. Louis journal says that since the Platte County
(Missouri) Railroad has been advertised for sale, parties
have begun to inquire into Its value, and are surprised
to find that it Is one or the best-paying roads in the coun
try. The load is to be sold for cash, the minimum va
luation being $826,000; hut the coupons on the bonds Is
sued to It by the State of Missouri are to be taken as an
equivalent. It is said that agents are in How York ne
gotiating for those coupons,and* supposing that the bond
holders are ignorant of the value of the road, they antici
pate making their purchases at very low figure*.
