One of the fren said ho had somo Irionds at Sandwich, Canada, two miler below bere, who wished to take passage for or twelve men got on board at Shit point, and as mavy more at Malden, @ehieen miles bslow, The last lot of passengors bad ‘with thom a large box, bound with ropes, as the baggage of the party.

CONDUCT OF THR PASSRNGERS, Nothing of moment occurred on the boat until late in She aftervosn. The passengers from Detroit and Sand- ‘wich appeared to be perfect strangers to those from Watden, and gave no sign of recognition, They @rn drank side by side at the bar without the least ‘tocen of acquaintance, and once pretended to make a @light quarre! for precedence at that famous public level- der Ono of the party was much in the pilothouse, ana Qroreeded tu creating the Impression that he was a New Poglander by his frequent questions to the pilot.

The pilot of the Parsons, Michael Campbell, says that @erly 10 the afternoon he noticed some suspicious move- monte among the passengers. They were gathered in @mall groups and talking in low tones, so as not to be @vorheard. fhe boat touched’at North Bags Island, her at stopping piace, and then proceeded to Middle Rass Yslaud, where Capt. Atwood restded. Here this officer ‘went ashore, leaving the boat in charge of the clerk, Mr. gabley: From Middle Bass she proceeded to Kelley’s jand (famous for its Catawba wine), and there took on nor twolve passengers. Just after leaving Kelley’s Nand the wilividual who bad shown himso:f 80 inquisi- ve in the ptlothouse approached the clerk and asked iim who was in charge of the boat since the captain’s @eparture. Mr. Ashley replicd that he supposed be was ‘Che rosponsidie party ae far as commorcial business was @oncerned, aud that the mate acted as sailing master.

Mr. Ashiey as informed that he was a prisoner, lie Peplied that the appearance of things in general wai @anted them in making the assertion, and modestly in- bs ed what disposition they intended to make of him, replied that they wou'd :-biow his damned brains while another assured him that nos a bair of his Boa should be injured. These statements being quite evnilicting, the gentleman was obliged to await the pro- grees of events. One of bis captors suggested that he ‘would find a safe piace in the hold, and he was accord- Gagly conducted thither. TRE TRU CHARACTRR OF THE MBN SHOWN, On the instant of the seizure of the clerk the old trunk Bow open, and disclosed a formidable array of revolvers, @atchets and sabrea With these the rebeis armed them- elves, and proceeded to drive the passengers and crew be- fow, retaining such as were necessary ‘or working the boat.

The whistle was blown in tbe usual fmanuer, otuer parties on sbore came down and assisted 4m makidg (ae boat fast, not suspecting any thing wrong. Captain Atwood walked down tothe janding and went @n board, and was at once seized and ordered into the Bold.

Orr gave bis enciveer orders to move on. One of ‘the oaptors rushed into the engine room and ordered the angiover to siop, and, on his re:using to do so, shot him fu the faco. It was reported last evening that the engi- poor had died (rom the eifect of his wound. The Queen ‘was stripped of everything vaiuabie, and the passeners @f both boats were sent on shore, Capt, Orr and his en- gineor were vetained on board the Parsous, All the I” ‘aous’ officers and crew were retained, excopt the captain and ctork.

He was well versed in naval n and was anxious to visit the gunboat Michigan Notwithstanding the stormy nature of the day of bis ar- rival, be insisted upon going out, and paid a boatman an exorbitant figure for transferring him. His stay in Saa- dusky was marked by great intimacy with the guodoat officors, and frequent invitations for them to feast in Sanduaky at Mr, Cole's expense. Ho spent money freely, was a*‘‘good fellow,’’ and generally looked upon with favor. Ho won the confidence of some of the officers of the Michigan; but, though be tried bis best to become & bosom friend of Captain Carter, that offloer was not to be seduced, 4 UNITED STATS OFFICAR RNGACED iN iT. ‘One of the chief engineers of the Michigan was the most intimate with the agreeable stravgor, and is reported to have been fully taken into his confidence. Keport bathe it that the engineer received iarge sums of movey from Mr. Cole, in consideration of performing certain stipulated things. On Sunday last, while at dinner, ® letter was bauded to the engineer on which the word “import- aat’’ was murked. At reading it be colored slightly, which was noticed by the others, Captain Carter asked him for the letter, and on his refusal to give i¢ up it was taken from him. The letter stated that all the plans were in readiness to be carried out The Parguns was to be seized on her way down, and with her the Michigan was to be captured. Assistance from Sandusky was to be given, aod the prisoners on the island would be liverated. The letter was compared with the notes of the agreeabie stranger, and tho band- writing was found to be the sa Accordivaly the en- gineor was put in arrest,and word gent to the authorities on shore. Oo Monday morning Mr. Cole was arrested, avd in his trunk were found letters and documents revealing the nature and extent of the conspira- cy. Se Sandusky citizens, members of the “Svas iborty,” were found to be concerned ie the fair, and some twer five or more arrests were made Among them are mentioned Dr, Stanley, Captein Strain, a hardware merchant; Joba Williams, another hardwore merchant, and former part- ner of Strain, and a clothing desler bamed Rosenthal. Several persons in this city are mentioned as concerned im the plot; but they ail crossed to Canada yesterday HOW THY PROGHAMMK WAS CARRIED OUT. ‘The Parsons was seized according to the programme; but toe arrest of the engineer of the Michigan and the agreeable stranger were not in the programme. Captain Beli, ‘‘oommanding C. 8. stoamer Parsons,’ was much astounded when the Michigan ordered him alongside, as ho *had counted upon a totally diferent event. He was expecting signals from on shore in the shape of rockets of various colors, which were to be sent up according to pravious arrangement. ‘The aid rockets are in the hands of the United States a thorities, and will be sent up along with the agreeal stranger aud the traitorous engineer. Possibly some other gentlemen besides those pamed may have the pri- vilege of following the course of the rockets with he neck ag well as with the oye. BNGINRS OF THR MICHIGAN TAMPERED WITH, All the trains coming into Sandusky from the south were searched, aud many of the pasrangers arrested. ‘The agreeable stranger, alias Cole, confessed to being a revel officer, and implicated the parties above named, He says the pian was for men to go there by boat and rail and act with great celerity. His capture overset all the Plans. The arrests were really made before the time of the seizure of the l’arsons, and every- thing was in train for capturing the conspirators as fast as they came to band.

EXCIT: MENT ALONG THE LAKE.

The despatch caused considerable omsternation at Toledo, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo and the smaller points along Lake Erie. Some of the steamboat owners retused to go out until the lake was reported clear. As Clevelund the authorities notified Captain Pierce, agent of the Michigan Central line of steamers betweea Cleveland and Detroit. It was rumored about town that the boats would not make their regular nightly tripe. Captaia. Pierce, in congultation with Captain Viger, commanding the Morning Star, determined not to,lose a single trip, and moreover made preparations to run down the Parsons or any other rebel boat that came in his way. From the high speed of the Morning Star Captain Viger was confident he could accomplish it, and at any rate was willing to make the attempt. The return of the Parsons to Sandwich made the trial unnecessary. Several propellers tuat wi ready to start out waited until the nm of the abandonment of the Parsons was received. Owners of schooners and other craft were p portionately alarmed, and many were the devout wishes uttered in conjunction with imprecations on the heads of the pirates. Especially was this the case when a do. spateh was received announcing that the pirates had gone down the lake in the direction of Cleveland and Buffalo. FINALE OF THE AFFAIR. 1 bave thus given the history of the expedition from its tpception to its close. It was deliberately planed by a parcel of traitors who have foued an asylum io Canada, was sent from the Soath for t accomplishment of the object, and it is more th hinted that some of the Northern peace-a price men are more deeply concerned than they would be willing to acknowledge. That it has failed is due toa variety of caures. There were but thirty con spirators on board tbe Parsons, whereas fifty were ex- pected, The arrost of Captain’Cole and the engineer of the Michigan; the milare of the persons who were to come by rail to Sandusky; the absence of sufficient fuel on the boat; the watchfulness of Captain Carter, of the Michigen, aud the promptness of Col. Hill—ail these things combined to frustrate the rebel plabs, The affair ig over, and no serious damage has been done. Neither (s it likely tooccur again for the present. Hereafter a moro strict watch will be kept, and the owners of the Pareops or of avy other boats touching along the Detroit Fr will be more cautious concerning their passengers, TAR UNITED STATES STAAMER MICRIGAN, The following is a list of oflicers of the Michigan: — Commander—Jobn C.
