MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1864.
NATIONAL UNION TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
Abraham Lincoln,
OP IGLII‘O73.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Andrew Johnson,
The Geeat Western Conspiracy.
We invite attention to the account published
in part to-thy, of the great conspiracy lately
discovered in the Western States, the ob
ject of which was to assist the rebellion al
ready raging to destroy the Government.
The details of the combinations entered into
in the West, for the accomplishment of the
destruction of the Government, are of the
most horrible character, and had the plans of
the conspirators succeeded, the West and
possibly the North and the East would have
been deluged with blood. It was the purpose
of these lends to organize for a St. Bartholo
mew's Day, darker and more horrible than
the transactions of the one which filled France
with gloom, by its bloody and remorseless
atrocities.
—The men who were at the head of the
conspiracy lately unmasked in the West, be
long to the Knights of the Golden Circle.
While human life and property were to be
recklessly sacrificed, and while every effort
was to be made far the overthrow of the Gov
ernment, it will be observed, by perusing
these proceedings carefully, that only the one
object of success that treason might triumph
in favor of slavery, animated the entire organ
ization. It is the darkest picture of the re
bellion. It is the saddest evidence ever had
by any people, of the depths of degradation
to which base party influences can plunge the
baser adherents of party.
THE RESPONSTBZESTi OF THE FAILURE in the
late assault on the works before Petersburg,
according to the testimony taken by the
Military Commission now investigating the
affair, rests thus far with Gen. Burnside and
the 9th Corps. General Burnside claimed
that he carried out the orders of his su
perior officer, and that neither he nor the
officers of his troops were to blame for the
failure. It is well understood, hoWever,
that General Meade insists that Burnside
did not carry out his orders, but, on the
contrary, failed both to attack as ordered,
and to answer telegrams sent from 114
o'clock in the evening of the 20th until
next morning. During the morning of the
attack not less than sixty-feur dispatches were
sent by General Meade to General Burnside.
The claim of the latter that General Meade
having the night before the attack made some
change in the plan of operations, he sup
posed General Meade would be on hand per
sonally s to direct the assault, will not, it is be
lieved, be allowed.
Ia THEI GREAT GOVEENDLONT should be de
stroyed—if religion and civilization should be
compelled to endure the unspeakable afflic
tion of seeing it go to destruction the freest
institutions ever devised for man's happiness
and prosperity—the leaders and the organs of
the Democratic party in sympathy with trea
son, will deserve more of the infamy of the
result, than the traitors who are in arms. A
blow struck by our enemies, however heavy,
never does as much harm as a lie told by a
secret supporter of that enemy. Thus with
the traitors and the northern sympathizers;
The hies of the latter have damaged the gov
ernment far more than the blows of the for
mer. And, therefore, if the government
should fall, (of which there is yet, thank God,
no sign,) the odium will belong to the sym
pathizers with treason.
ROLD.DING OF PRODUO . E. —The Chicago Tri
bune publishes the following table, showing
the amount of flour and grain in store at Chi
cago, at the dates indicated. It proves there
is double the amount on hand this year that
there was in 1863, and the fact indicates a
speedy collapse in prices`:

WASHINGTON, August 15.
The following official dispatch has been:re
ceived by the Navy Department :
FLAG SEEP IIAsTFORD,
Mommr. BAY, August 15, 1864. f
Sts:—l have the honor to report to the De
partment that this morning I entered Mobile
Bay, passing between Forts Morgan and
Gaines, and encountering the rebel ram Ten
nessee, and the rebel gunboats Selina, Mor
gan and Gaines.
The attacking fleet was under way by 5.45,
A. M., in the following order:Brooklyn, with
the Octoraro on the port side; Hartford, with
the Meta Comet; Richmond with the Fort
Royal; Lackwanna with the Seminole; Mo
nongahela with the Kennebec; Ossippee with
the Itasca, and the Oneida with the Galena.
On the starboard of the fleet was the proper
position of the monitors or iron olads.
The wind was light from the south-west,
and the sky was cloudy with very little sun.
Fort Morgan opened upon us at ten minutes
past seven, and soon after this the action be,
came lively.
As we steamed up the main ship channel
there was some difficulty ahead, and the Hart
ford passed on ahead of the Brooklyn. ' At
40 minutes past seven the monitor Tecumseh,
was struck by a torpedo sad sunk; going donvu
very rapidly, and carrying > with her all her
officers and crew, with the aception of the
pilot and eight men, who were saved by a
boat that I sent from the Meta Comet along
side of me.
The Hartford had passed the, forts before
eight o'clock, and finding myself waked -by
the rebel gunboats, I ordered the Meta Comet
to cast off and go in pursuit of them—one of
which, the Selma, she succeeded in capturing.
• All the vessels had passed the fort by halt
past eight o'clock, but the rebel, ram Tennes
see was still apparently uninjured in our rear.
Signal was at once made to all the fleet to
turn again and attack the ram, not only 'with
guns, but with orders to run her down at 'full
speed. The Monongahela' was the first 'that
struck her. Though she may have injured
her badly, it did not succeed in disabling tier.
The Lackawanna also struck tier, but
effectually, and the flag . ship gave her a
severe shook with her' Vow, rind as she passed
poured her whole pert 'broadside Into her—
solid nine inch shot and thirteen pounds of
powder, at a distance of not more than 'ten
feet. The iron clads were closing upon her
and the Hartford and the rest of the fleet' ere,
bearing down upon her, when; at 40 ar.., she
surrendered.
The rest of the rebel fleet, via : thci'Morgan'
and Gaines, succeeded in getting back under .
the protection of Fort Morgan.
This terminated the, action of the day.
Admiral' BuChanan , sent his sword, being
himself badly wounded with a compound
fracture of the leg, which it is supposed will
have to be amputated. Wring had many of
my men wounded, and the 'stirgeonlotthe Ten
nessee being very desirous to have Ad
miral Buchanan removed to a -hospital,
I sent a flag of , truce to the commanding offi
cer of Fort Morgan, Brigadier Richard L. Page,
to say that if he would allow the wounded of
the fleet as well as their own. to be taken to
Pensacola, where they could be better cared
for than here, I would amid out one of our
vessels, provided she would•be permitted to
return, bringing back nothing that she did net
take out.. Gen. Page consented,, and Ae
Mets Comet was dispatched. -•-
The list of casualties on ouipart, as far-as
ascertained, are as folloWs: Flagship Hartford,
killed 19, wounded '23; tiooklYik, killed 9,
wounded 22; Oneida, killed 7, wounded 23;.
Monongahela, wounded 6; Meta Cornet, killed
1, wounded 2; Ossippee, 'killed 1, • Wounded
7; Galena, wounded 1; Richmond, wound
2. In all, killed 41, wounded 88. •,'
On the rebel ram Tennessee there were
captured 20 officers and about 160 men. The
