iUcrupt to Bnrn Sew York City.
On Friday night !at a desperate and bold
attempt wa made to fire and destroy New
York City. The attempt was speedily
frustrated. The following hotels were fired,
.all at one time, with the s.rae inten'ion,
by the conspirators, bat resulted in slight
damages : The bouses are, The St. Nicho

and Barnura's Museum. This thing created
quite a panic throughout the entire city tor
a time. At the plaqes of amusement it was
with great care and presence of mind on
the pari of certain parties that many per
sons were saved from tnj-iry by thus keep
. insr them from throwing themselves over
banisters and into narnnetts. maimin? and
disfiguring themselves for life. It all was
the act of a comple'e organized conspiracy
to barn New lork Lity. li.e aitempl was
made between the hoars of 8 and 9 o'clock
in toe eveuing. uor uyies give a large
and full account of the whole affair. We
will quote the loilowing paragraph from the
fVorld of Saturday last : "There were two
theories as o the meaning of the plot for
such it undoubtedly was.' One was thai
he incendiaries were also thieves, who
hoped to plunder and pillage daring the
excitement that would certainly have fol
lowed the success of their efforts ; the other
was that a rebel organization bad concocted
tad entered upon the execution ot the oat-
rage, The discovery of a woman, from
Baltimore, whoee movements were sospi
cioas (as wiil te seen from the report of her
arrest ' tt 1 jw) seemed to give a clue to !he
mystery, and favored the theory last men
tioned. In every case Ihe fires were proved
ti be the work of incendiarif s, arid the
a m Urity of the work in all the instance
laft do doubt that one head controlled the
basinrf-i. Had the conspiracy, or wha evei
we may call ii, succeeded to ihe extent
evidently intended, half the city at leas
might h-Te been in ruins this morning."
Ab LrTioNis:.!. But a lew years ago.
when the Abolition party was of no par'

Thus it will be seen that the official maj.

Hero of Antietam. is NINE! Add this to
ibe majority on the-official home vote and
we have a Democratic majority in Colum

figure up a gain in this county for Mr. Lin
coln on any lormer vote, when it is clear,
as we showed in curlastthat Lincoln re
ceived a less number rf votes this Fall than
he did in 1S60, and the majority now is more
than tw'ce as heavy against him. Where is
the gain ?
Thk statement, published in some of the

THE WAR NEWS.
From the Daily Age of the 21!h inst
General Sherman has at lenpth been
heard from, through southern channels. On
Saturday last he had advanced one column
to within a few miles of Macdn. His forces
were desolating the country as they moved
on. It was. reported that he had captured
several members of the Georgia Legislature
at Griffin. Another column was moving in
the direction of Augusta and Milledneville.
On Eriday last the portion of Admiral
Porter's iron clad fleet which for some time
past has beer, at anchor at Fortress Monroe
sailed up the James, anil anchored with the
rest immediately below the Dutch Gap Ca
nal. There is a report that tjie recent heavy
rain storm caused such a freshet in the
J James that, on Monday, the piers of earth
! which kept the water out of the portions of
me canai wnicn are sun neing exravaet
were swept away, and that now the water
rmhes through the canal and carries every
thing before it. The roas in Grant's camp
are in s horrible condition, and military
movements just now are impossible. Gen.
Grant arrived at his camp jesterday. .
A party of Confederal Cavalrymen, on
Friday last, appeared in the Shenandoah
Valley, between Mariinsburg and Winches
ter. A Federal cavalry force of sixty-two
was sent out to capture then. Alosubj. the
commander of the enemy, laid an ambns-h ;
killed twenty two, wounded eight, and cap
lured thirty-two. To or three Federal sol
diers afterwards escaped, and reported the
disaster at Martinsbnrg.
General Breckinridge, at last accounts,
was at Strawperry Plains. East Tennes
see, eighteen miles Irom Knox viFle. , It
was reported that he intended to make a
raid with all his troops toward Lexington.
Kentucky. General Burbridee. the Federal
commander in Kentucky, is preparing to
meet Breckinridge.
The Confederates have sent small parties
of cavalry to Fredericksbnr. The banks
of the Upper Rappahannock are full ol
them.
There are all sorts of reports of new raids
from Canada upon Northern New Yoik and
Vermont.
Captain Scmrnen' ' New Alabama" was
called ihe Sea King.
I From the Age of the 25! h
General Sherman, a heretofore announc
ed, has divided his nrmy into iwn columns.
One of tl.fi e columns contains he Fifteen ih
and Seer.ieeuih Corps, and is commanded
by General HowarJ. The other column
contains the Fourteenth and Twentieth
Corp, and is commanded by General Slo
com. General Howard's column is the one
which marched south towards Macon.
General Siocum's started east, towards An
susta. Snerman is believed to accompany
Slocum's column. It is about one hundred
miles from Atlanta to Macon O.-i Th-jrc-day
ol last week Howard's advance was re
ported at Jonesboro, thirty miles south ol
Atlanta. On Sunday it was reported eiuhiy
two miles south of Atlanta there eerris
but little doubt thai M..con was captured
about Tnesday. Very few Confederate
troops wer in position to snrce;-s!iilly op
pose Floward's inarch. Slocum's column
i still in th.e neighborhood of Atlanta and
no doubt will move very slowly on its w ay
towards Aususta. until the captu'e of Macon
is announced, ami Howard's column 1 1. rn-
north east and marches towards Aujiiia I
so. It is belieed that Milledeville, the
capital of Georgia, has already been cap
tured. There are indications of the near ap
proach ol Grant's new attack upon Rich
mond. There seems to be a heavj con
centration of Federal troops on the north
side of the Jarnes. in ihe neighborhood of
the Dutch Gap Canal, as if it were the in
tention to make the principal attack there.
The Federal force on the Weldon f:iilroad
is being depleted to atlow o ttie reinforce

Fror.x the Age f the 2 67
Definite intelligence ha at length bepn
received Irom Sherman's columc. The ex
pedition under Slocum, which went from
Atlanta south to M icon on November 19th,
was at Forsyth twenty miles northwest of
Macon. Here Slocum's progress was check
eJ, and the despatch state, he was 'sig
nally repulsed." A Federal cavalry force
was detached from Allan a under Ki'pat
rick, which marched southeast a'-ong the
Aii2usta Railr ad to Covington; then ad
vanced through Monticello and H lUboro to
Wallace, a small town about ten rniies
northeast of Macon All of thee towns
were burneJ. and it was supposed that the
cavalry would push o.i six miles south to
Go'don, a village where the railroad from
Macon to Milledgeviile and the one from
Macon to Augusta diverge. Tnis cavalry
force thus moves between Macon and Mil
ledgeviile. and il Gordon is reached, the
troops will be about twelve miles from
each city. The indications are lhat the
Georgia militia are not alone in checking
Sioeum's progress at Forsyth. Beauregard
had part ol his army, several da)s a;o, in
posinon to transfer it by radroad from Cor-
i . ii luroun muiMie 10 .nacon. A rery
short lime would be required lp do this, and
some of Beauregard's army are, no doubt,
by this lime in poiiien to oppose Sherman.
All announcements of the capture of Ma
con are prematura, as yet. Hd Sherman
marched unoppn-ed initi the town, he
could not have taken it before Wednesd ly
la!, and this is too early a date "for us to
receive, even through Southern channels,
any news of what happened on Wednes
day at that dis ant place. On Monday last.
Nov 2 1st, Sherman's advance, a force only
of cavalry, was twenty-two miles Irom
Macon.
O.i i Frida of last week, November 18th
Beauregard, at Corinth, isueU an address,
in which he stated that he was hastening
to join the people of Georgia. It is thought
that this indicated a movement over ihe
railroads by way of Mobile. Nothing of
importance has yet been done by Slocum's
column, and as the Confederates are bast
ening from all quarters to .Macon and Mil
ledgeviile, it looks very much as if thev
would be uccekful in opposing hirn. Both
towns are strongly arrison-d, and well
delended by earthworks. Slocum has lost
so much time in his march tha Tie seems to
have missed the golden opportunity.
From Peier-burz there is a report hat a
part of General Early's arrpy. Irora the
Shenandoah Valley had made its oppear
ance on the cxth side of the Jtnes. in
troni of General Butler's lines. A portion
ot General Snendan' army has already
sailed up the James to reinlorce Grant
There has been oo fighting ' lately, and no
movement of any importance is reported
from either army.. Three days ago, by a
skillful manujuvre, the Confederate man
aged without loss, to cut oat and capture
forty-two head of cattle from Grant's lines.
Generaf Lee has at length made a report of
the recent picket fi;:hi, about which there
has been such a ureal difference of opinion.
Lee says he lost one man killed, and nine
wounded and captured one hundred and
eiijhteen Federal prisoners. The Dutch
Gup Canal is not yet open, and there are
now vaaue hints that it is a failure.
It IB
now staled.in a Southerr. journal, as an ex- I
hibit of the great number of shells which )
have been thrown by Grant into Petersburg,
that the inhabitants of lhat city have col'
lecied six hundred thousand pounds of
shell, and sold thern to the Confederate
Ordinance Department. Twenty thousand
shells, it is estimated, have been thrown
into Petersburg; and with all this bombard
ment but filteeii person have bee.i killed
and thirty wounded.
Some additional particulars of the recent
battle in East Tennessee have been receiv-.
ed. The Southern papers Fay that eight
hundred and fifty Federal prisoners were
c-tplored. The Northern accoon s state
thai Gillem lost, all told, but four hundred,
though his troops were pur-ued nearly forty
miles. We incline to the former sUiewent.
It is al length announced by the news
writers that Sheridan's army is at 'Winches
