~tlng the North with
ndiary's Brand.
, reader to an account in to
,laApir, relating the facts in a de-
attempt, on Friday evening last, to
0 some of the principal hotels in the city of
New York. The circumstances connected
with this daring incendiarism are of the most
startling character, and should put the people
in every large town and city on their guard.
For many months past we have had intima
tions of what the desperadoes of the South in
tended to accomplish, in the event of the Gov
ernment continuing its vigorous prosecution
of the war to suppress rebellion. During the
same time, too, we have „been diabolically
threatened with terrible events, should the
people of the loyal States, in the exercise of
their preference as freemen, re-elect Abraham
Lincoln. The question, therefore, arises,
are these acts of incendiarism of those with
which the people of the North have been
threatened so long, alike by the men in re
bellion and the sneaks who give them aid and
comfort? If they are, it is time that the Gov
rnment begins to deal sternly, and promptly
and justly with Northern traitors. It is time
that immediate efforts were organized to save
the Noith from flames, and time, too, that
the full power of the national authorities was
put in force to teach men in all sections that
we have a Government. The effort to burn
New York, is indisputable evidence that those
who represent the rebel chiefs in the North,
are neither controlled by sentiments of hu
manity or feelings of mercy. Every hotel select
ed was at the time crowded with men, women
and children. Samara's Museum, when it
was fired, contained htiiidreds of women and
children. By these facts we can measure
the brutality of the incendiaxies—and by these
incidents, the people loyal to the Government
can calculate the ferocity of the men with
whom we hays to deal while struggling to re
store the peace of the country. Will strong
men,in the face of such evidence, longer hesi
tate about the means of crushing treason?
—One thing is very certain, namely, all the
large cities swami with what are called South
ern refugees. We have noticed the fact,
months since, in the TELEMILPH, that the fam
ilies of hundreds of wealthy men engaged in
the South in the effort to establish an inde
pendent government, aro living in luxury in
the principal cities of the North. The mem
bers of these families are sympathizers with
the traitors in arms. Their abodes afford ref
uge for every sneaking spy and incendiary who
come North for mischief. The incendiaries
of New York issued from just such circles,
We have the same circles everywhere. We
have them here in Harrisburg, where Southern'
refugees, imbued. with intense hate of the iVorth, ,
_aced _soma aus with their munted preferences for.
the South, have been long Tea, nattered and
sheltered. While these things are tolerated
elsewhere as well as here, no.man, woman and
child seek their couches at night, certain that
they will escape the consuming flames of the
incendiary's torch. And if these facts do not
arouse the apprehension and the action of the,
people of the free States, nothing of a stern
and fearful `character can induce them to move
for their self-preservation.
OUR AD VICES FROM SHERMAN'S GREAT EXPE-
Drriox, are still of the most cheering and bril
liant character. The great warrior is spread
ing consternation and despair all over rebel
dom. In the immediate region which he is
invading, the terrorism inaugurated by the
rebels has been dispelled, and men are begin
ning to prepare for the peace so long refused
by the traitor chiefs. One thing is very cer
tain,. notwithstanding the silly boasts of the
rebels, the traitors have no adequate force to
cope with Sherman's main army, and at the
same time act on the defensive against the
forces co-operating with him. Gen. Sherman
is literally in the heart of the rebellion, so
that it matters little in which direction he
moves thence, as he is bound to strike some
of its vital parts. To every one except the
traitors in the South and the synipathisers
in the North, Sherman's movements are re
garded as of the most glorious character.
REFORM IN Imasors.—The immense ma
jority with which Illinois was carried, at the
November election, now demands that a foul
disgrace be wiped from her statute books.
Free persons of color dare not go into the
State 'on pain of q being sold for twelve months
as slaves, and any one harboring a colored
person, slave or free, insprred a heavy pen
alty. We notice in the Illinois newspapers
that the repeal of these inhuman and de
grading laws will now be insisted upon, and
they will doubtless be swept from the statute
books when the Legislature meets.
Rnmkaxamr.,s Om STRIX.E. —The Pittsburg
Chronicle of the 26th inst. says Messrs.
Pennock, Ball & Co. of that city, who for sev
eral months past have been sinking a well on
Buck Run, not far from Zanesville, Ohio, are
now obtaining one hundred and sixty barrels
of oil a day. Its specific gravity is said to be
thirty, and is selling at twenty-four dollars per
barrel at the well. This is one of the most re
markable strikes in the history of oil.
SKETCH OP Ali OIL-ParscE.—A letter from a
traveler, in the new oil regions of Pennsyl
vania, says : "We were paddled across the
creek by an oil-prince, aged fifteen, heir to a
million, coatless and hatless, and with but
one suspender to keep his courage and his
trousers up."
THE GRAND Jtrar of Lancaster county, in
their late report, complain that the principal
cases brought before that body grew out of
charges against persons for selling liquor
without license.
Tar. oITICIAL VOTE of Lancaster county
gives Mr. Lincoln 6,019 majority. This of
course includes the resident and the soldiers ,
vote.
.0 manner in which the States of the
mouth, which throw off the yoke of slavery,
at once g)Vo expression to the most radical
principles of freedom. As an instance, who
would ha - eftliought, four years since, tliat
Louisiana, by official, -exeoutivc or legislative .
action, could endorseAbrahanalLincOln.• And
yet the-Legislature of free Louisiana has re
solved the highest compliments to Abraham
Lincoln. They oall'hirii . the liberator,
Washington was the founder of his country,
and they also resolve, "that the free State of
Louisiana will be forever, a monument, fitting
to his fame, of the wisdom, patience, patriot
ism
and great administrative ability.of Major.
General N. P. Banks, the restorer.of States.'
This is significant, coming as it does from.
State where, four years ago;. not a vote was
Permitted to be cast for Mr. Lincoln. What
reason is there to doubt that four years hence
the-Legislatures of Virginia and Carolina will
imitate the example of the Legislature of
Louisiana to-day? Nay, what reason is there
to doubt, that even the leaders of the Demet
cratic factions in the free States, now the most
servile supporters of the worst features of
slavery, will not, iu four years hence, have
become the most clamorous abolitionists in
the land? Look ahead! Freedom is Pro
gressive !

A DIABOLICAL PLOT
Organized Conspiracy to Turn New
THE ATTEMPT FRUSTRATED
The news embraced in the subjoined reports
is the most startling that we have,.
perhaps,
ever been called upon to record. It will be
seen that a regularly organized attempt to fire
the city was made on Friday night, and only
by the exercise of the geatest energy was ren-1
dered wholly abortive. No less than ten or a
dozen of the leading hotels and other large
buildings were fired between the hours of 9
and 12 o'clock, and by these acts an immense
% amount of life and property was put in jeop
ardy. Fortunately the fires were not simul
taneous, and after the discovery of three or'
four attempts had been made to carry the
fearful plot into execution, the detective police
obtained sufficient knowledge of the affair to.
lead to the conclusion that a wholesale confla
gration was imminent, and accordingly extra.
vigilance was exerted by the police and Fire,
Department, and the late fires were extin- .
guished almost immediately upon their break-.
ing out. The story of the atrocious conspir
acy soon spread about the city, and the great
est alarm was felt among the people. The re
port reached the Academy of Music during.
the third act of the new opera. and caused ex
citement, but was hardly credited. At about
eleven o'clock the alarm seemed general in the•
lower part of the city, and the oitizens searched
their premises carefully. .
There wore two theories as to the meaning
of the plot—for such it undoubtedly was.
One was that the incendiaries were also thieves,:
who hoped to plunder and pillage during the;
excitement that would certainly have followed
the success of their efforts; the other was that
a rebel organization had concocted and en
tered upon the execution of the outrage.'The'
discovery of a woman from Baltimore, whose,
movements were suspicious (as will be seen
mom .tne svpuxt,
to give a clue to the mystery, and favored the
theory last mentioned.
In every case the fires were proved to be the
work of incendiaries, and the similarity of the
work in all the instances left no doubt that
one head controlled the business, Had the
conspiracy, or whatever we may call it, sue
ceeded'to the extent evidently intended, half
the city at least might have been. in ruins this
morning.
Never in. the history of the country was
there so alarming an affair developed in the
community, and our citizens cannot congratu
late theselves too much on their providential
escape from a scene of horrors actually sick
ening to. imagine.
The first fire was discovered at 8 o'clock
and 43 minutes, at the St. James Hotel, cor
ner of Broadway and Twenty-sixth streets,
but resulted in 'but slight damage. It origi,
nated in one of the bed rooms, and the strong
smell of phosphorus that pervaded the apart
ment, and the proximity of matches to the
bed-clothes, disclosed the fact that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. The guests
were considerably alarmed, and Semething
like a panic was imminent at first, but as soon
as the real extent of the damage was aster ;
taiued, order was restored, and the usual quiet
resumed.
It is stated by the proprietors that a man,
registering his name as John School, .Md.,
took a room at this house about 51 o'clock,
and that the smoke was discovered issuing
from his room by the occupant 'next door.
Upon the door 'being broken open, the room
was found empty, the occupant having gone j
leaving a black satchel with a bottle of phosi
phorus behind.
At five minutes of nine the St. Nicholas
Hotel was discovered on fire in rooms 138,
139, and 140, situated in the middle building
of the three on the upper floor. About the
same time fire broke out in bedroom 174,
in the front building of the hotel. In both
places the strong smell of phosphorus and an
abundance of matches in the bed-clothes, sig
nified the fire to have been • the work of an
incendiary.
The rooms were burned completely out, but
the fire department of the hotel, under super.-
inteudence of the proprietor, Mr. Hawks,
succeeded in confining the fire to these apart
ments. Had it not been for the admirable
arrangements for taking care of fires at this
house, it would have been entirely burned
down. The damage done is principally by
water, and will probably amount to • about
three thousand . dollars. Covered by insu
rance. The business of the house will not in
any way be interrupted, the parlors, dining
rooms, etc. , not having been damaged • auy
whatever. ' '

THE HOTELS FIRED
THE ST. JAMES.
THE ST. NICHOLAS
THE LAFARGE
At twenty minutes past 9 o'clock the. La
farge House was discovered to be on fire in
one of the bed-rooms 4.11 the 'upper floor, the
bed being, as in the other places, saturated
with phosphorus, and matches lying about in
all directiOns. The damage Was slight, but,
naturally s enough, the guests were thrown into
a panic, believing that the whole structure
would be fired. The flames were soon extin
guished, the damage amounting to about $3OO.
The room in which the fire was discovered
was taken by a Mr. J. B. Richardson, of Cam
den, New Jersey, who was out of the room at
the time of the fire:
DIETROPOLITAN • HOTEL
At about 10 o'clock a fire was discovered in
a front room in the upper floor of the Metro
politan Hotel, but it was speedily extinguished
by the servants of the , house. An alarixtwas
given,. but before the firemen arrived at
hotel the danger had been passed. The dant
age here 0 estimated at one thousam4,oe
====l
hundred dollars. One room only was injuied.
In this room were found an empty bottle,
which contained phosphorus, a pair of hetil•
boots, and a vane These articles, dica the
bottle, were taken,possession of by 'Fire Mar
shal. Baker. In the valise were taut:id:a paii
of Fsrunelf9„ gaiters The bottle was of a de
!seription iffimilar to ghat found at the other
:hotels. •
TABItMAN Y Hn LL
A le ost simultaneously with the "diseciVery ,
of the fire at the Belmont Hotel, the bed and
bedding; wAtif„turiiiture f of, a room on the,
third floor; fiont, were found to be in flames. -
Daring the afternoon a man, who registered
himself as "C. E. Morse, of Rochester," Lir
-rived at the hotel, and engaged the room in
which the fire was discovered. He was not
seen during' the evening, and has not been
.seen since the occurrence of the fire. The
damage is not very great, and was confined
to the furniture and bedding of the room.
The handwriting of the man referred to re
sembles, somewhat, that of the person who
engaged the room fired 'at the bt. Nicholas
Hotel.
DELMONT FIOTEL
The fire here was discovered in a bed-room
on the third floor, which had been engaged
by a man registering himself as "Lieutenant
Lewis, 11. S. A." Smoke being seen to is
sue from this room, a strong odor of phos
phorus being at the same time perceptible,
the door Was immediately btirst open, and
in a very few seconds the flames were com
pletely extinguished. The bed in this room
had the appearance of having been Occu
pied. The man "Lewis"' has not been seen
since the discovery of the fire. At this place
six bottles of phosphorus were found in a
carpet-bag.
LOVEJOY'S HOTEL.
Two attempts were made to burn this hotel.
The first occurred a little before half-past 10
o'clock, at which time a fire was discovered in
a bed-room on the fourth floor of the north.
east wing of the hotel. The bed-clothes and
mattresses were piled in the centre of the e tloori
and were enveloped in flames when tound.
The fire was extinguished without damage to
other portions of the building.
The second attempt was made about 12
o'clock, and the alarm was given simultane
ously with . that of the fires at the Belmont
Hotel and at Tamthany. This time the incen-
diary had performed his work in the south
east wing of the building, on the fourth floor.
Attention was excited by a smell of smoke,
and a search developed the tact that in the
room referred to a carpet-bag had been placed'
inside the bed, within which carpet-bag was a
bottle of phosphOrus. Here, also, the fire
was extinguished without greater loss than
that of the furniture and bedding of the room.
BAIINITZE'S MUSETJ24"..
Last night, about 9 o'clock, some person or'
persons unknown proceeded to the fifth story
of the Museum,• in the rear of the gallery.
of the lecture room, and threw down upon
the floor, near a
,staircase,. a bottle of phos-i
phorns, which ignited and set fire to the
wooden-work in the neighborhood. The cry
of fire was amost immediately raised, and au
intense excitement ws..s at once created'
throughout the entire building. In the lee..
tnre-room, particularly, the feeling amounted
to a panic.
A large .number •of the audience rose to
their feet in great alarm, and rushed to the
various places of exit in wild confusion.
Many terror-stricken persons slid down the;
iron pillars supporting the galleries, to the.
parquette, adding,.of course, by their freznied
performances, greatly to the excitement of
the scene.
Fortunately, the fire was almost immedi
ately extinguished by the officers of the build
ing, no serious damage having been done ;.
and by the display of ioecessary coolness on:
the Part of seyeral actors andoentlemen con
nected with rue Museum, axa by a few sett
possessed persons in the audience, the panic
was quickly suppressed. So far as we learn,,
no one was seriously injured in Ihe rash. •
There cannot be the slightest doubt that the
ruffian, whose diabolical attempt to set fire to
a building•Tairly crammed with people, was
only frustrated by extraOrdifiary geod fortune.:
is one of the gang of aciiiiipirs,tors,who ope
rated elsewhere almost simultaneonsly. It
makes one shudder to contemplate what might
have been the result 21 , • this diabolical act. •
Had: not the exciteifent been so promptly
quelled, or had the fire gained a greater head !
way before its discovery, the result inevitably
would have been most appalling. The lecture.
room was crowded at the time, and hundredS
of persons might have lost their lives.
The bottle which contained the phosphorus,
and which is like those employed by the in,.
cendiaries elsewhere, was recovered, unbroken,
and it is in the hands of the Fire Marshal.
