| AMERICAN AFFAIRS. DANGER IN fuk NORTH.

| The report of Judge Holt on the treason- |abie conspiracies criginating at the West, jbut having their ramifications extending through the greater part of the North, isa document altogether too grave and authentic | to be neglected by our peuple, although the | Demveracy try so thrust ic out of aight. Le | has been well said that the evidences of the then coming rebellion in 1860 were not sv | Striking as these now foreboding troubles in | the midst of the loyal States. They are col- jlected from muny sources, from men who | have been tampered with by the treasonable organization, from numerous members of the jorder, from rebel officers and soldiers cogui- /sant of its operations, and from detectivee lespecially employed to examine into the jmatter. The information thus gained is col- jlected by Judge Holt, a Southern man, a | Democrat, a member of Mr. Buchanan's Ca- | biuet, whose personal integrity is above all suspicion, and whe brings to the subject great patience of investigation and soundness of | Judgurent. To disregard such a man’s pre- sentation of facts reluting to the new sources of danger uuderlying svciety in the loyal States, would be as inexcusable in us as it was in Mr. Buctanan to turn a deaf ear to Gen. Scott’s solemn warning of the approach of the existing rebellion.

And what does Judge Holt, on the amplest testimony, tell us? tie proves the existence of banded organizations, in eworn hostility to the United States Government, comprising in the aggregate no less than 500,000 wen, most numerous in the border States of the West, but having lodges in Pennsylvania, New York, New Hawpsbire, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and accomplices probably in every State. The armed force of the or- der,stated in the testimony,whether correctly or not, at over 300,000 wen, is undoubtedly very formidable in the midst of an unarmed community. As to the aims and purposes of the conspirators, they are simply such as be- come the northern allies of the Southern re-

No doubt the Aindness of this veractous editor of the Charlottetown Herald will be duly reciprocated by the trade generally; and should fortune, that fickle mistress, direct his steps thitherward, the New York Printers’ Union will be only too grateful to pass bim around as the Aurab/e individual that com- pared then to highwaymen. As it is Jikely such paragraphs will tend to create wrong impressions regarding an bonorable and hard- working body of men, allow me, through the columns of your admirably conducted and extensively read journal, to make a brief statement of facts concerning the Printers of New York and their Union.

Perhaps the editor of the Charlottetown Herald is not aware that the compositors on daily morning papers have to labor through the long, tiresome hoursot night. That this labor is taxing and wearying to the system, and worth duuble that of ordinary tail in mid-day. 1 think he will readily admit. At least, had he to work in such a manner, I am inclined to the opinion he would be as cla- merous for ‘‘more’’ asany Oliver Twist. The price paid was fifty cents per thousand ems, Owing to the increased rates of living, and the exorbitant prices of wearing apparel, &c, that have obtained, the men on newspapers bere considered an increase of pay necessary, in order to enable them to live with some show of respectability. The Union, there- fore, put the price up to sixty cents per thousand ems. (This was sometime during the last month.) The proprietors of the several newspapers readily came into the new arrangement, suve the T'ribune and Times. These papers paid it under protest, and set about defeating the Union in this new de- mand, and, if possible, smashing it ap. The proprietor of the Tribune—Horace Greely— thought to insert an advertisement in iis paper for workmen to work at a less price than that paid the Union men. The hands immediately left off work. ‘The Times next issued a notice to their employees, discharg- ing them from their eee and stating that from henceforth no Unicon man would be employed by them. Alter two days’ de liberation, the Printers’ Uuion deemed the action of the Tribune's workmen ill-advised and hasty, asa Proprietor bad a just right to insert whatever advertisoment he thought proper in his payer. They, therefore, under such circumstances, perceiving that they had come into collision with a strong body of men—the Associated Press — suspended the ‘newspaper scale of prices, allowing the men |} to go to work for such price as the Proprie- | tors of those papers were willing to pay. | All the old tands have gone back to work, }since which tame there has been no further \trouble with the Union and employers. | Meantime a paragraph went flying through ithe length and breadth of the land, that the | Union was ‘‘dead,’’ ** burst up,’’ Ke.

A large number of soldiers were stationed on the dock to prevent landing in case of surprise. Their camp fires enabled Lieut. Cushing to see the versel clearly and watch their movements. They opened with imusketry as he approached, and he scattered them with a discharge from his howitzer. He then run his boat against the tim-

She at once began to sink, aud Lieut. Cushing ordered ali to save themselves,

He took of his coat and shoes and jumped into the river, the others following, where they were svon brought under a hot fire of musketry. Boats were sent out, but how many were picked up, he does not know. Livut. Cushing swam down the river halt a mile, wheu chilled and exhausted he tade tor the shore and took refuge in a swamp within speaking distance of a rebel fort. Rebel officers paased the place of his conceal ) ment, talking of the affair, and he learned that the torpedo had done its work. Afterwards he gota negro to go ep and look alter the ram, who reported that she was“‘clar goue sunk.’ Ile then crawled along and finally secured a skiff and with a single paddle started for the squadron, 12 wiles off, reaching it in safety.

The gang now inquired for Col. Hanson, 37th Ken- tucky mounted infantry, (commanding a brigade) and Capt. Dagenfield of the 12th Uhio cavalry, declaring their intention to shoot them buth. By this tine the surgeons and hospital at- tendunts had become aware of what was guing on, and they hasteued to the spot, By persuasion, and alunost by furce, they endea- voured to restrain these desperaducs from carrying out their savage purpose. Furguson was on the point of shooting the rebel surgeon in charge, Dr. Murphy for dsring to interfere, and one of bis men ac- tually presented a revolver at the breast of a major who had chanced to be visiting at the hospital at the time, and had volunteered his assistunce.
