TorouTo, Nov. 14.—The Advertiser, a seces- sion newspaper, to-day admits the failure of the rebel plot, and says that the Confederate Government, in fitting out the steamer R. E. Lee, from Wilmington to Halifax, with a cargo, ‘was to furnish the necessary fands. Thirty-six officers and three hundred men were to come over in emall parties and meet at a general rendezvous. It was their intention to surprise the Federal garrison on Johnson’s [sland, lib- erate the prisoners there, and convey them into Canada. They did not intend to violate British neutrality, but only to rescue two thousand men from such wretched quarters, designed to kil] them by slow degrees. The following has been telegraphed North from Washington : ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS—VALLANDIGAAM, MARSHAL KANE AND JAMES CLAY THELEAD- The Gonspira Is ERS. ‘WasHinotTor, Nov. 14.—The discovery of a rebel plot hatched in Canada to liberate the prisoners on Johnson's Island, barn Buffalo and ravage the commerce of Lake Erie, is classified here with the finding of mares’ nests.

Brownsville was also set on fire by a few rebel cavalry, but the Union men turned out to extinguish the flames, when the rebel cav- alry were joined by the secessionists in the | town, and a terrific street fight took place, as the houses were burning round the combat. ants. The 15th Maine regiment was immediately ordered to march on the place. A Maine reginient was the first to land on the Texas shore, and an Iowa regiment almost immediately after; their regimental flags being Doisted almost simultaneously. FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

General Meade: I have seen your dispatel be about operations on the Rap) ahannock, on Saturday, and 1 wish to say, “ Well done.” (Signed) A. Liycotn. The genuine Lincolnism of the dispatch strikes home to the hearts of the soldiers, and @<sures them of the continued and lively in- terest with which the President regards every movement of the Army of the Potomac. Home- ly and inelegant as it is, perhaps no other dis- patch would have been received by the army with more proud satisfaction than was the President’s congratulatory dispatch. «They may say what they please of Lincoln,” re- marked & soldier to-day; “they may call him uncouth and illiterate, but that he 13 possessed. at tes attributes of true manliness they cannot yy A reconnoissance was made b; yesterday in the vicinity of mevertig eek | ished ty Kilpatrick's cavalry. | pa lezen shells were thrown | side, and on the advance of our cavalry the enemy retired.

In a letter dated Paris, September 30, and directed to Judah P. Benjamin, Mr. de Leon thinks the withdrawal of Mr. Mason trom London has been attended with good effects, and in order to cause an antipathy to the “Yankee,” Mr. L. says he has “caused vae rious publications to be made in England on the topics of cotton, slavery, the oath of alle- giance, Federal fabrications, and kept up & running fire through the English press.” Mr. de Leon, however, intimates that Lord John Russell does not, nor dees the Loncon Times feel very favorably to the Southert Confed- eracy. This letter continues: “Here, in Frauce, I see no change either In the attitude of the Government or in the popu- lar sentiment. n fact, until the arrival of the Florida at Brest, allusions to the Vorfederacy (except those supplied by our friends in the press) were becoming very rare.

Yesterday, the provost guard at Forrest Hall, Georgetown, went to the house of Mr. Francis Wheatley, on Gay, near Congress street, and found Walter Wheatley, son of Francis ‘Wheatley, who has been in the rebel army about four months. The prisoner was removed to the Old Capitol in irons; Walter Wheatley bronght the news of thedeath of his brother, Francis, who was wounded in the cavairy fight at Beverly’s Ford.

In the Third Army Corps it has been ascer- tained that sixteen regiments have agreed to re-enlist, in consideration of retaining their present organization. Five regiments, whose Tanks have been greatly reduced by the casual- ties of war, have agreed to re enlist, and be consclidated as one full regiment. Six other regiments in same corps are willing to re-enlist as mounted infantry. _ Other regiments in the corps have the sub- ject under consideration, and it is expected that & large proportion of them will consent to re. enlist, in order to obtain the liberal bounty paid veteran troops re-entering the service. Some are willing to re-enlist again, if they are allowed a furlough of sixty or ninety days, in which to visit their homes and see their rela- tives and friends, many: of them not having had a turlough during the time they have been in service, in many cases longer than two years, The subject is being agitated in the other corps of the army, with about the same results ag in the Third Corps. The old Pennsylvania Reserves, or what is left of them, are discussing the matter, and | there is little doubt that if they were permitted | to return to the State for sixty or ninety days, for the purpose of reorganizing, nearly all of those now remaining would re-enlist. Those who have served two years or more find that their habits have completely changed, that they are unfitted for civil life, and feel batter satis- fied with the adventurous and exciting life of a soldier, and by far the greater number feel a repugnance to retiring from the service until they “see the thing through,” in the triumph of our glorious cause, and the rebellion thorough. ly crashed out.—Philad-iphia Inquirer. wa7It is reported that Robert H.

Accordingly, this morning, je of the boys were arrested by the tenth precint officers, and taken before Justice Boswell, who fined several of them and ordered them to be locked up, and dismissed the others, warning them at a severer punishment would be inflicted on them if the offense was committed by them a second time. ——_—__—_ BURGLAR OaPTuREp. t an early hour this morning, Mr. Mothershead, who resides near the Navy Yard market, on coming down stairs discovered a contraband, who gave his name as Lewis James, lying ona sofa in a room which had been locked up, and officer Harrison was called and took him in custody. On taking him te the station he was searched, and a val- uable gold bracelet, which had been stolen from the residence of Mr. Gilman, on New Jersey Avenue, was found on his person. He states that he was invited in the house by a contraband. but the window bears evidence of his having broken in. Justice Call committed him to jail for court. —— L?tyyirras OE RAron ie Noveusen 14, 1863. ‘ersons applying for letters in the fol! une wl please say whon they were adver’ tay not reseive them, otherwise they nM il aire Ber) Miller Bre Jovep BromleyM seElita) Hamilton Sire ity ete Bowers Mre Aun Haghsoa Louies Marke Mise 8 Brook Buse Ace Macca Mre Lucy ric Man Mise Mar, Cc ly MreJoanna BM Doddge BielonptneBtareh ‘Mise Safah Ward Echo's Btive Jane Micht 2 -k = seve Ter Roe ett Jere ic Aber Birent Gallaher Joba Muensch Kline Bali Wm M Gray Hiram McReynoid M Boyer Thos Hayolete Wea McCarter Chas Breohings Capt SH Herbert Wan ae Brigham L Reary Wm Muilen Andw Buckalow JnoM HuchmakerM-9 = Mactla Michi a Hoffman Louis BicRoay Capi M t Joo M Rodgtine & P Morphy Michi Beeker J Leng 4 Hale L 8 Nicholese Aug & Cay Ls c aoees ms: a ticanke ioln *Brise Robt Oakley Axrea@ Powe!
