and leave no doubt that the conspiracy was fully as diabolical in its character as is represented above. He has made these statements to a man who formerly served under him, and whom he still supposes to be in the rebel interest. More of the Plan for Releasing the Johnson's Island prisoners. Last week the Mayor of Chicago received information that a plot had been concocted by refugees in Canada to sink the revenue cutter Michigan, lying at Sandusky, and release the prisoners from Johnson's island. The following particulars are given of the scheme in a Chicago paper: James Bates, a Southern refugee, purchased of the firm A. M. Smith & Co., of Toronto, the propeller Georgian, representing that she was to be employed in the Saginaw lumber trade. It is proper to state that Smith &Co. are gentlemen of high standing as business men, friendly towards us, and were entirely ignorant of the use to which she was to be put. The Georgian was delivered to Bates at Port Colborne

s purpose, and also intimated that he was supplied with arms and ammunition. He had in his possession a very large and accurate map of the harbor of Sandusky, on which was marked the location of the Michigan and the batteries. He was particularly anxious to ascertain whether he would be compelled to open the hatches of his vessel in passing through the Welland canal if a demand was made upon him to do so. Mayor Fargo at once telegraphed the startling information he had received to Captain Carter, of the Michigan, and to the lake ports as far west as Detroit.--He also consulted with a number of our dock merchants. Captain Dobbins telegraphed to his agent at Port Colborne, asking whether the Georgian was there; and if not, at what time she left, and for what place; but he did not give an intimation as to the object of the telegram. The reply was, that the Georgian left for Sarria at 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, after taking on board thirty cords of wood. The agent also added,

arlton, who is now on board the Kearsarge, is a native of Georgia. He was before the war an officer in the United States Navy, and was stationed for several years in Chelsea. He has many acquaintances in Boston. He was here on the day of President Lincoln's first election, and left shortly after to tender his services to the Southern Confederacy. He is a gentleman in appearance and manner, and not reluctant to speak of the circumstances of his capture and the condition of our national affaice. Surgeon Charlton estimates that the Florida has steamed over forty thousand miles since she left Brest, not having spent ten days in port in nine months.--During her career she has captured about forty American vessels. Speech from Lincoln — the election news in Washington. The Abolition clubs of Washington went to Lincoln's White House on Thursday evening, and, after firing off a cannon, proceeded to hurrah, etc., until the Gorilla came out and made the following speech:
Morris (search for this): article 1
f the capture of the Florida in Bahia. It appears that some Yankee merchants in the town, desiring the gunboat Wachusett to sink the little Florida, carried Lieutenant Morris a challenge to fight the Wachusett. He declined, and then the Yankees actually waited on him to urge a fight, but without success. The account says: Captain Morris, however, stated that if he happened to fall in with the Wachusett during a cruise, he should willingly engage in a contest with her; but that, on no account, would he consent to leave a safe harbor for the express purpose of having an engagement. All efforts on the part of outside parties to bring on a naval full head of steam. So little expectation was there of such a proceeding that one-half the officers and crew of the Florida, seventy in number, and including Captain Morris, were carousing on shore, and the remainder, having just returned from a similar absence, were in no condition to repel an assault.

He wears the full uniform of the rebel naval service, of plain grey cloth, with the rank indicated by shoulder-straps, as in the Union costume. Surgeon Charlton expresses full confidence that his captivity will last for only a very limited period, believing that the whole affair will terminate as did the seizure of Mason and Slidell three years ago. If the demands which he thinks will be made by the Brazilian Government are disregarded by our authorities, he looks for an endorsement of the claims by the Governments of Great Britain, France and Spain in such a manner as to compel compliance. The rebel officers profess a complete indifference as to the result of yesterday's elections. They say that the North entirely mistakes the universal sentiment of the South, which they affirm will never consent, on any

The programme was to break dowave been otherwise than successful had it not been nipped in the bud by a premature exposure of the whole scheme. With Marmaduke at their head, the rebels were to march into the city and take possession of the court-house and square as the base of so quickly overwhelmed as that effective opposition would be impossible, and that they could then, under their leader, Marmaduke, march in any direction with perfect impunity. The scheme was well concocted. It lacked only one essential — a suct. He now sees the deep guilt of the whole transaction and the depth of the gulf on whose brink he has been lying. Marmaduke has made a partial confession, or rather a series of admissions, which, as far as they go, fully substantiate Mr. Walsh

Walsh is completely unmanned — broken down by his sudden arrest, the complete exposure of the treasonable conspiracy into which he has been led, made the dupe of personslf on whose brink he has been lying. Marmaduke has made a partial confession, or rather a series of admissions, which, as far as they go, fully substantiate Mr. Walsh's statements and leave no doubt that the conspiracy was fully as diabolical in its character as is represented above.

Captain Collins immediately gave the orders for accomplishing the design agreed upon, saying that with the ely accidental, and cried out: "You will run into us if you don't look out. " The design of Captain Collins was simply to strike the Florida amidships with full steam on, crushing her side and send hs it, by order of one of the Union lieutenants. The shots did not strike the Florida. Captain Collins, of the Wachusett, immediately thundered out a demand to the rebel craft, "Surrender, or I soon gave up the chase as the Union and rebel steamers disappeared below the horizon. Captain Collins soon ordered the ships to heave to, and examined his prize. He found that neither vessel w

The reply was, that the Georgian lethe attention of the Canadian authorities and resulted in the seizure of the boat. It is probable, therefore, that Bates stopped at out-of-the-way places on his way up and picked up his fellow-cut-throats in small squads, after which she took on wood enough to last for quite a cruise. John Allen, Captain Dobbins and others sent out a tug on Saturday night to patrol the bay and give warning by rocket signals of the approach of any suspicious craft. Proper precautions will be continued.
