The suspicions alleged by the “Dr.” aro quite gratuitous, and on a par with all his freaks of fancy .—[Chatta. Rebel “Last night, between tho hours of nino and ten, an attempt was made to assas sinate Dr. Fetors, the man who killed Van Dorn. Dr. Peters is boarding at tha same house I ana, and I was in conversa tion with him, Mr. Maynard and others, on a long portico, in front of our rooms, from tea time until we dispersed to go to bed. My room is on tho Aoor above his, and I distinctly hestd the crack of tho pistol. lie had gone to bud, and the as sassin fired at bis hoad, through the win dow, from the portico, missing his head butafow inches. The miscreant, made bis escape, and is evidently in the em ploy of some of Van Dorn’s frionds, or of that villainous trio who composed hia staff, and who published a false card, concealing facts and expressing false hoods, in all that relates to that utfair. The hope is. by the death of Dr. Fetei^, to prevent the publication of the facts in the cuu, and of such documents an ho holds, in the hand writing of Vsn Dorn. Had thoy murderod tho Doctor thoy would havo failed in this, for ho has de posited with a friend the documents seal ed up, requesting their ^publication iu the event of his assassination. Flour, under the exbilerating manip ulation of speculators in the life-blood of their country, has suddenly becomo very scarce in this market, ana exceedingly high in prices. Within the past few day* hundreds of barrels of this staff of Ufa have been spirited off by railroads to so- cret hiding places elsewhere, thcro to ro- maln till famine prices again bring it intoraarkot. Wifi tho Government and people stand by and see tho conntry overrun and ruined by those vampyrosin trade, who care for nothing but gold and Its equivalent ? Has the Government no power to rid Itself of these leoches ? Aro the people powerless, that they should stand with folded arms till speculators have deprived the army of subsistence, and sturved to doath tho wives, children and widows of our noblo soldiers? Rath er than submit to such fearful results, lot ovory speculator in tho nocessarios of life oo marched to the front and made to receive the bullets and bay o nets of that bated foe whom they are striving to as- aht in crushing out tho liberty and hap piness of the South.—Riehm.
