THE NATIONAL CRISIS.
THE DESIGNS OF REDPAT ET, JOHN BROWN, FRED
DOUGLASS, JR., &C.
The Chicago Times of the 21st inst., has the
following account of another "horrible conspi
racy," about as reliable, let us hope, as the one
about the invasion of the Federal capital, or
the assassination of Mr. Lincoln :
There are many facts which go to show that
a daring scheme is on foot among the free negro
population of - the Northern States and the
Canadas; that under the direction of such tur
bulent agitators as Redpate, Fred Dohglass and
young John Drown, on whose shoulders has
fallen most fully the mantle of his father's
blood-thirsty fanaticism, they are proposing to
take advantage of the first outbreak of war to
consummate a war upon the South, in which
all the horrors contemplated by John Brown,
Sr., will find their full realization. A few of
the facts leading to this conclusion have been
already given by us, and others have been fur
nished us by a gentleman whose source of in
formation is very near headquarters. The facts
alrenclialluded to in this paper, from time to
tin:lo E 4re, some of them, as follows ;
The presence of. Gerritt Smith and other agi
tators in Canada, and the threatening language
s held-by reported aeldll them there, the movements
of the notorious Redpath, who has been flitting
like a spirit of evil all over the land for the
past few months—no* in Kansas, now in Can
ada, now on a mysterious voyage by sea,
baund, - in the opinion of some, for the coast of
Georgia or Florida, and turning up unexpect
edly in Hayti; John Brown, Jr., among the
negroes in Canada, eating, living and sleeping
with them, -and using his efforts to persuade
them into some scheme, the purport of which
coed only be guessed; letters have appeared
in various Northern papers, intimating that the
negroes . of Canada were arming, with a view
to the invasion. of the South.-that they only
awaited the declaration of. war to take up their
line of march, and that they feared nothing so
much as compromise, and hoped for nothing so
much as coercion. These and °alerts* which
have at different times transpired, furnish
ground for serious apprehension.
That this apprehension is well founded, we
have reason to believe from additional informa
tion received' by us yisterday. Moninouth,
111inOie, is, in this State, one of the foci of the
eccentricity of abolitionism—it is noted for
the almost unanimity of its radical sentiment;
and matters which even in Chicago would be
told and talked of only in whispers, are there
discussed with impunity, it being considered
all en famille. We are informed by a gentle
man, a democrat of that city, that it is no
there that such a movement as that above
intimated is fullY determined on. In fact
many of the details are given with a circum
stantiality that leaves little room for doubt. A
.prominent abolitionist of that place, Who is in
correspondence with the plotters all over the
country, says openly_ that an army of 8,000
Northern negroes, armed, equipped and well
drilled, is ready to march at a moment's -warn
ing, and can be concentrated in forty-eight
hours at any available point on the border;
that they .are in sympathy and concert with the
free negroes of Canada, who will furnish seve
ral thousand more; that the men who are at
the head of this movement are, ostensibly, Red
pith, Fred. Douglas and John Brown, Jr., but
that their object is known to and sympathized
with by prominent abolitionists of the North,
and particularly of the northwest, in and out
of Nngreas ; that the mission of Redpath to
Hayti is for the purpose of obtaining assistance
in his scheme from President Geffrard, and
sounding the negroes of that island with tt view
to raise an army there; that the plan of these
gents is to strike the slave line, with their
colored cohorts, somewhere in the neighbor
hood of the Mississippi, march in a body, and
directly for the Gulf, through - the portions of
the South most 'thickly populated with slaves,
stir up insurrection amongst these as they go,
force or induce the slaves to join them, pillage,
plunder, murder and burn, leaving their track
as desolate as the desert and black with ruin ;
reaching the Gulf, they will veer to the South
west, ravage the Gulf coast, pass through
Texas, skirt along the Mexican coast, and make
themeelvas a home in Central America, where
they are prospecting for the location of their
colony.
THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The propositions of
the committee of the Peace Convention were
all acted upon last n ght, and several amend
ments were adopted. Moat of them were verbal
and immaterial. To-day Mr. Field moved
resolution to the effect that secession was il
legal, &e. It was tabled. A vote was taken
on the proposition of Mr. Baldwin, of Connec
ticut, for a national convention to amend the
Constitution, which should be imitated by State
Legislatures. It was defeated.
Then the question came up on the adoption
of the first section of the report of the com
mittee, as modified by the acceptance of Mr.
Franklin's amendment, a transcript of which I
sent you a day or two Nino. This was defeated
by a vote of eleven to eight, a majority of the
Virginia and North Carolina delegations voting
against it, declaring that it would not satisfy
the people a said States. Other border slave
States voted for it. Much excitement was
caused by this unexpected result, and a recon
sideration of the vote was moved by Illinois.
A significant fact.
It is understood 'tlmt Messrs. Ruffin and
Moorehead, of the North Carolina delegation,
were for the adoption of the section ; also, that
Messrs. Summers and Rives, of Virginia, were
for it.
vinanthi CONVENTION-SPEECH OF MR. GOO.
GIN-HE FAVORS A CONFEDERATION OF THE
BORDER STATES, AND THINKS THE PERIOD
FOR CONFERENCE WITH THE NORTH IS PAS
SED.
iticumown, Feb. 26.—Mr. Moore's resoluitons
were again under consideration in the conven
tion to. day, when Mr. Goode finist.ed his speech,
in the course of which he said: affirm
that it is the duty of Virginia in this trying
hour to go with the South, as the only method
of restoring peace to the country."
Mr Goggin read a series of resolutions which
he proposed to offer : That the Southern
States should have proposed amendments to
the Constitution, in pursuance of the fifth
article;
that it is the duty of Virginia now to
invoke the co-operation of the border States to
provide measures for concurrent action here
after; that Virginia is attached to the Union
as it was, but it does not protect her rights as
it is ; that it becomes her people, in convention,
to look to every remedy for relief, and provide,
in the event of failure, for the future relations
she is to occupy, having a due regard to her
position as one of the Southern States.
Mr. Goggin made a long speech in advocacy
of his resolutions. He denied the doctrine of
the constitutional right of secession, but ad
mitted that there was a revolutionary remedy
for wrongs. He wonted consultation with the
border States to form a confederacy, and invite
others to join it. He oppose 3 precipitate
action, but said that whenever Virginia went
he should go with her. He believed that Vir
ginia would be insecure in a Southern confed
eracy, but the period for conference With the
North had now passed.
Mr. Goggin gave way to a motion to adjourn

It was announced yesterday that General
Twiggs, commander of the military department
of Texas, had surrendered all the military
property, belonging to the Federal Government,
over to the State authorities. The following
from Texas papers, issued previous to the
surrender, is therefore of interest :
The San Antonio Ledger is informed that
Gov. Houston has sent an express to General
Twiggs to announce that Coi. John R. Baylor
contemplates a descent on San Antonio, with a
force of 1,000 men, for the purpose of seizing
the arsenal and other public property.
The La Grange True Issue has news from
G onza l es Th a t a regiment of men has moved
upon San Antonio for the purpose above set
forth.
Gen. Twiggs has called in additional United
States troops to protect the federal arsenal and
stores there ; he has declared his willingness to
surrender the property to the care of the State
when a proper official demand shall be made
on him by the Texas authorities. The General
has notified the War:Department that his sword
shalt never be drawn against an American
citizen.
There are 37 companies of United States
troops in Texas-22 infantry, 5 artillery and 10
of cavalry. Twenty companies are on the Rio
Grande.; seventeen companies id% - stationed
within the interior, from Camp Cooper, Phan
tom Hill, in the northern part of the State,
down south as far as Ban Autouie, and Fort
Inge, 'near Fort Duncan, on the. Rio Grande.
This force amounts to about 2,500 men, and if
withdrawn by the United States it will require
that Texas shall bring into the field an army of
equal numbers. It is proposed to do so im
mediately. This will cost $3,000,000 or $4,-
000,000.

hands into the public treasury.

speaking of the siege of. that city, says:
Oa the night of the 21st of January, abontlo
o'clock, an experiment was made with the
electric light from General Cialdini's residence
to throw a light upon Gaeta, so as to enable the
artillerymen to point their guns with pre
cision. On the 22d, at 8 a. m., while 4,000
men were working at the parallels, the fortress
opened a terrible fire with 200 guns at once.—
Our camp immediately replied to it, and the
squadron at the same time received orders to
manceuvre. At 9a. m. the Admiral gage the
sign for departure, and ordered the comman
der of the Garibaldi to lead the attack. At 10
a. m. the Garibaldi was in full way on the
fortress. At 11 she opened fire against the
eastern batteries, with g view to silence them,
and at the same time to throw shells into the
fortress. In this she succeeded. The other
vessels of the squadron soon joined in the at
tack. At r, o'clock in the afternoon the Admi.
ral ordered the firing to cease, to give rest to
the crews. During the night all the vessels
remained in front 4f Gaeta; the gunboats alone
continued the attack. On the 23d the Admiral,
after expressing his thanks to the commander
of the Garibaldi, left for Mole, only leaving
the Garibaldi, a steam frigate and two gun
boats to cruise before Gaeta. In the space of
six hours Our frigate sent in 971 projectiles.—
Five shells from the fortress s truck us, but did
little damage. The steam frigate Costituzione
