The rebel press disclaims any eonnction Wie ae with this conspiracy on the part of the rebel OFFICIAL,: apace and leaders, although it is now ully ascertalued by the authorities that the ringleaders were Southern emissaries, and that the crime was suggested by the Richmond papers, . “We dismiss,” says one of the rebel papers, “as absurd, ungenerous and upjust, the idea that the Confederate authorities, or the Southerners as a peopie, are accomplices in the act, or that they originated or en- couraged it in any way, or that they will en- dorse it.” “The Confederate administration,” it goes on to suy, “have exhibited too much wisdom and tact to permit the supposition that they would identify their cause with any such damning deods. They know too well, by experience, the effect of vandalism in war. Tuey know tha€ the united sentiment of the South is chiefly dye to the policy of destruc- tion and rapine that has been practised against them, and they would sanction no measures calculated to create a similar unity oi feo.ing and action in the North.” The rebel gowernment may have much wis- dom and tact, tut they are exbibiled in a vicious aud very curious manber. There was no cause for this most wicked rebellion that ever left a blot on ciwilization. Tuere were 0 complaints made that could aot hare been lis- toned to by the whole people of tue Uuioa, and remedied by eonstitutional action. But the rebel chiefs violated the constitution and with itevery moral law. As far as the morality of the rebellion is concerned, it is no better than any other organizcd plaa of murder, perjury, theft and burglary. It beganwvith the commis- sion of all these crimes, and it hee been car- ried out in the same spifit. And yet in the face ef these broad facts, which are known to the whote world—after the firing on Fort Sumter, the grand larcesy of pubtic pro- perty at Norfolk and New Orleaas, the bar- barities to the wounded and prisoners in their hands—the rebel journals of this city have the audacity tosay that “the anteeedents of the Con- federate autherities and peopie ia this struggle do not warrant the supposition that they would be so lost to reason aud humanity as to doun- tenance such @ system of antagonism, They. bave shown themselves jenlous of their reputa- tion as @ Christian and enlightenéd people; they have sought to create the impression ‘broad thatstheir’eonduct of: the war has been A New Arnty Corps to Be Ratsed. *~, Wacunaton, Ney. 28, 190% . ‘The following order has jusi beén jesued:— GENERAL ORDBRS—NO; 26T. ‘Was Daparrusnr, Apsorant Gawanatts Wasuioron, Nov. 28, 1834, Order for raising and organizing @ now volunteer army corpa:— ‘ First-—That an army corps, to consist of not lesa thag twonty thousand infaptey, and enlisted for not lens them one year, tobe desiguated the First corps,’ shalt bd organized in the District of Columbia, commencing the organization on the 1st day of December, 1864, and com Mouing until the Let day of January next, the privates te consist of able-bodied men, who have served honorably not loss than two years, and therefore not subject draft; the ofl.cers to be commissioned from auch as baw honorably served uot less than two years.

Fifty-nine rebel deserters arrived bere to-day from City Point, having taken the oath of allegiance. civilized nations; and they would certainlynot forfeit theiz reputation, and the good will of their sympathizers, by suddenly assuming the attitude of savages and incendiaries.” We have thus before us the opinions of the rebel press of New York upon this damosble erime, and wo shall soon hear those of the rohel press of Richmond. They cannot say morc: in behalf of the rebellion than the rebel press- of this city have-said from the beginning, anc-in justification: of this horrible attempt to barn down a great city, and with its-ashes to mingle those of thousands of innocent and helpless people, they ean hardly say lesa. The rebel press of Richmond, the organs of the govcrn- ment, threatened and couneelled the act of wholesala arson and murder, as we have shown by quotations from their columns; yet the rebal press of New You« tell us that the rebels have “shown themselves jealous of their reputation as a Christian and enlightoned people!” Tus Democrats in Conersss.—The demo- cratic party has been totally demolished be- cause it would not follow the advice we gave it in 1862. The few democrats who have es- caped the wreck and are safe in the next Con- grese will do well to take s sensible hint, and vote for the amendment to the constitution abolishing slavery, We have had trouble enough about slavery, and the democrats have been beaten often enough ia their attempts to uphold this doomed institution. Now let us all unite to get it out of the way, and so clear the field for new issues in 1868. If the demo- crate in Congress persist in fighting the pro- slavery battle over again they can only expect another defeat. It will be better for thum and the party to acquiesce cheerfully in what is in- evitable. ‘Tux Orxes.—The second performance of Loa Sebaatiano last night impreesed os still more favorably with Doni. wotti’s greas work.
