The Conspiracy in Arkansas.—Tbe Little
Rock State Journal, of the 26fci, notices tbe arri
val at that city of twenty-seven prisoners, mem
bt rs ol a secret Lincoln organization fro n Van
Buren county. They were lodged in jail for safe
keeping, until tried by the civilautnorities. For
ty others were said to be on the way, and the
names of the whole clan known, also their stcret
signs and pass words, which ware divulged by a
young man who was ignorantly initiated into the
order.
The same paper of the zOth, referring to the
conspiracy, says :
It appears that information of this organization
was given ;o Oen. Burgevin; by a citizen ot Van
Buren county, and a volunteer’ in the Cons der
ate service. Ihe names oi the leaders are well
known, and if those who are in hot pursuit of
them c-er succeed in overtaking them, it would
be well to a juaiut them with some ot tee pecu
liar ut sos hemp.
V.Y ive been permitted Io peruse the constitu
tion ot this erganiz-tin. It h called a “Peace
and Constitutional Society.” They, have TOO
members in Scary, Van lluren, Newton, and Is
ard counties, and 1700 in the whole State. They
have a regular srsiem of sins and passwords,
and are furnished with supplies of money from
the N rtharn cemps.
Tha constitution makes it obligatory on every
me.ob r to ic zard his !iie ;o ai'iof another in
distress, and the penalty of 'expressing any of
the sect is of the organization is eftath. General
Duty -vi;i, who music-ring m a regiment at

ed, to take su >h steps ns night be necessary. At
Ci'U-un he saw Jerome li. L jvvis, who assured h’.in
ot u.o i cctneßS of the icp ..rt. Col. Lewis bad
called out ; .;uard of 100 men, and was' at the;
time making arrests, and Gen. Birrgevin “bei. g
si from his well known energy of character
and fearless to ture, that the matter was ia good
hands,’’left the control of the whole affair wita
that officer.
Col. Lewis reports that those already taken
were well sr.palled with arms and ammunition,
and infers tout those still at large are equally
well equipped. Gen. Burgevin reports further to
tha authorities in reference to the dicaffactiou of
tht- people iu ihat section, and gives the names ot
..... i, fom in . diset n
tent among them.
Those who have been taken acknowledge their
crime, plead nothing ext. r.uating, but only bi g
for their lir.s. Our authorities, however, arc
fu. ri... upon the whole sabjeci, and we
hope, if necessary, the ex:remast measures will
be resorted to tu order, to suppress all treasou,
and secure to the people immunity from civil war
in their midst.

pondent of the Picayune narrates the following:
A fee/ days since, Major John Morgan, the most
gallant and dashing officer iu Kentucky, with
nb ut one hundred of his cavalry, crossed Green
river into the enemy’s country, aud for two days
stopped at tbe house of an active Unionist, scour
ing the country in the vicinity, passing bis men
oft' ns Union soldiers, ills character whs no* sus

Federal soldiers 1 ii. at tbe house near which he
was camped, died, and was b iried by Morgan,
with the honors oi a soldier. When he had ac
complished the object of I.is mission, he returned
safely to this side ot the river, leaving a note be
hind him for the Federal commander, informing
him of his ' istt, and what he.bad done.
Oitu Übfexcm and Übsotraces.—The Fayette
ville (N. C ) Observer, ref< rring to some queries
which lately appeared the Courier adds :
It has surprised us that spirits turpentine end
rosin were not used to repel the Yankee fleet
from Port Royal—indeed it surprises us that they
are not now Used. Thousands and tens of thou
san is of barrels of both would have b.en well ap
plied. and might still be well applied, to that pur
posi. We remember that some years ugo a sin
gle bar !of spirits turpentine burst on the deck
of a s>earner at Newborn; it tan from the deck
into the water below; a fireman threw into the
water some live conis from his furaance, the
spirits floating upon tho surface caught and set
tire to the boat, which was consumed, and we be
lieve other vessels also. What hindered the Pert
Royal people iic.-t emptying a thousand barrels
of spirits and setting tun whole hay and Yankee
fleet on Art ? or sending down old hulks filled
with buraing rosin amtag the fleet'? The water
which the Yankees might throw upon tke rosin

dvr tbe name of the Confederate Mates of Ameri
and whereas, the Congress of the United
States, approving the sentiments expressed by
: President in his annual message^“that the
Union must be preserved, aud hence all indispen
sable measures must be employed,” and believing
that kind and fraternal feeling between the peo

ts nance of a happy and prosperous Union, and
being w illing to manifest such feeling on their

distracted country, and the Union and Coustitu

How Fort Mcßae was Baved. —From a geu
tkmac rt-\ uijj from Pensacola, we learn that
d'.rmg the first day of the bombardment (Friday,)
the Yankee fleet got into a position that enabled
it to fin. wi ll impunity on Fort Mcßae, w.thout the
I e'er heiug able to return it owing the construc
tion o! hei embrasures, the fleet being almost
south of the Fort. When tbe firing ceased at
nig.it, Gen. iirapg improved the opportunity to
haul two heavy guns trom Pensacola and plant
th !.i :i: baiti o situated as to bear ditectly on
the vc-tt-'Gs. When morning came and the fire was
renewed on the Fort, the enemy was surprised to
preceive that a battery had sprung up during the
night wLere it was least expected.
Gen. B-agg, deceived by the U. S. coast sur
vey, according to which there was not sufficient
depth of water to enable the fleet to come up to
the position it occupied, did not of course, deem
it necessary to plant a bajtery to cover their po
sition.
It appears tbrA the report vrw correct when
made, but the channel bad deepened or anew
one bad been created since and was discovered by
he enemy.— Col. Sun.
Lieut. Tatnall. — A Northern paper has the
following paragraph in relation to tbe arrest of
this officer .
It is stated.that shortly after the San Jacinto
left the coas of Africa, Lieut. Talnali declared
that he would not bear arms against the Southern
Confederacy or render assistance in boarding any
(..'.'’□tedvi ate vessel. Card IV i kes forthwith plac
id him under arrest untii the San Jacinto reached
Ivey V, t-,- ( when he was transferred a prisoner, to
Fort ’fay lor, and from thence brought to N. York
the steamship Rhode Island, and sent to Fort
Warren'.
Only a RrtioK.—The Wilmington Journal, of.
Wednesday last, furnishes the annexed under the
Lead of “ rumors
We heard tumors last night up the road about
movements of Northern troops on the Sounds
North of Capo Lookout. It is probable tnat a
portion of their troops have got into the village
ot Portsmouth, on the Carteret county banks and
ou the South side of Ooracoka Inlet, with the
vi. w of wintering there, and that the greater por
tion oi those at Haiteras have moved farther up
the beech, and will in all i.kuihood put up huts.
'•> e could not find any firm foundation for a ru
mor that a large number of Yankee gun boats
were in the Sound, and that hey had a large
toroe with which to over run Hyde county and
parts ii'j.iceut. There is no doubt considerable
anxiety prevails iu that section of the State, along
tbe shores of Pamlico Sound, extending even to
i Albemarle, f-.om the fear that the Lincoinites
may come with sufficient force to get possession
of Roanoke Island, and consequently to control
the nut igution of Grcaton Sound.”
A Northern Canard. —We copy the following
dispatch from the St. Louis Republican of the 4th
iu-.t. Our Charleston friends will not deem the
intelligence very reiiaole :
New York, Dec. 3.— Mr. Butterfield, mate of
the brig Granada, wjq has been a prisoner at
Charleston, has arrived, and reports tbe forts on
Phoenix and other islands were evacuated and
blown up November 12. Great excitement pre
vailed ut Charleston, und a meeting was held as
to tbe propriety of burning or surrendering the
city. The Mayor was in favor of surrendering,
and so were the people generally, but the Govern
or said it must be burned.
The Romance of War—How Capt. Wilkes
got even witu John Slidkll.— The Brooklyn
(N. Y.) Times is responsible for the following
Capt. Wilkes, the bold aud responsibility as
suming commander of tbe San Jacinto, who caus
ed a gun to be fired across the bows of tbo
British steamer Trent, brought her to and reliev
ed her of Messrs. Mason and Slidell and their sec
retaries, is now about fifty-six years of age. Con
sequently, as Jack Bunsby would say, he was
younger than he is now. Though every inch a
sailor, and not often given to the melting mood,
the blind god oace succeeded in sending one of
his shafts clear through the rough sou’wester,
which found a lodgement in hishonest h art. The
bow from which the shaft was sped hung in the
eyes of a fair girl, and straightway tbe jolly tar
fell head over ears in love. Ho prosecuted his
suit with vigor. The girl was “a lass that loved
a sailor”—aud so smiled upon him, aud consented
to become bis wife.
But the young sailor had a rival in the son of a
respectable tallow chandler, well-to-do, called Sli
dell, and young Slidell feeling considerably cut
up by being cut out, refused to accept the mitten,
but not having spuuk enough to throw down the
glove to his sailor rival, contented himself with
“poisoning” the mind of tbe “stern parient” of
the fair one, until he refused his consent to his
daughter’s marriage with the held Charlie Wilkes
and insisted upon her giving her hand to young
Slidell, which after many protestations and tbe
customary amount of tears and hysterics, she did,
avid became Mrs. John Slidell. The bold Charlie
Wilkes did not peak aud pipe, or let his nielan
choiy feed on his weather beaten cheeks, but went
to sea and smothered his grief in attending to
duty and sustaining the honor of his nation’s flag,
never seeing his lady lass again, _nor meeting his
succeesfnl rival fdr her hand and heart, until he
saw him standing a prisoner on board his ship, a
traitor to ins couutry and a rebel against ths flag
the honest tar had spent his life in defending.—
Such is the romance of war. We congratulate
the bold Charles upon having at last “got more
than even.”
Another Outrage.—Another outrage, exceed
ing, if po.- • ible, those heretofore chronicled, was
perpetrated in Jefferson county, on Tuesday
niytt, by the minions c: Abe Lincoln. It appears
th-*t :iif two hundred of these jail-birds and

A Spirited Letter troiu a Virginia Lady

Camp Near Lkwisbcrg, i
Regi’t&l Headq’rs 16th Tenn. Vols , >
November, IS, 1861. )
Editors Dispatch : I herewith send you a pre
cise copy of a private letter taken from the per
son of one,of the company of prisoners taken by
Col. Savage, on the lltb September, in one of the
valleys near Cheat Mountain. The letter should
have appeared before the public at an earlier
date, but had been misplaced and forgotten. The
gentleman from whom it was taken declares him
self a Kentuckian, was Sergeant in the company,
and, were we to judge from the import of the
letter, had been on very intimate terms with the
young lady. The letter is getting a little ancient
now; but its spirit shows the young lady to be
one of the “True Blues,” s’though she resides in
Wheeling:
Wheeling, Va., Aug. 14, 1861.
Ma. W. B. McLank— Sir : By the reception of
your letter I perceive that you are iu the so-call
ed Union army, in Western Virginia, where I
trust you will receive that which every invader
; of Virginia’s sMI deserves. I would have you
i remember that I am a Virginian ; and, if I were
otherwise, my sense of riaht, truth, and justice,
teaches me ever to recoil from one who has so
far for-otten his manhood; so far forgotten that
he made after tbs image of his God, that he
engage in the most horricle outrages —plunder-
ing, aye, murdering; for such every sensible per
son must regard the death of Gen. Garnett, whom
you speak of. Cowards that you are, you know
that it was not done in an honorable way, even
hedit been in a just causa; and so you make a
great ado about murdering the brave Garnett,
whose lire was wor. your whole army of hir -
lings.
And the prisoners you speak of; there are a
few pent up here ia Camp Carlyle, I presume
they are like those captured by your company of
outlaws. They are not soldiers, but private citi
zens, taken from their homes, families—yes, and
one, an .and gray-headed man. was taken from the
cornfield where he was at work, and whv ? Oh!
because he was a Secessionist. No, it" was be
cause he dared be a man and assert his rights •
because fosootfc, “he did not toss high in the air
his cap,” and shout for the Union—the Union of
white and black. As to dressingjin the clothes of
the Confederates t-o deceive them, that would only
be in conformity with your former acts wbict
he', been so noble, ao brave. History does not
furnish a parallel. No doubt, by such disguise
you may be enabled to shoot & few more in the
back, whom yen have not the manhood to face.—
No, I presume I would not recognize you in the
dress; for. I dount not that I should gaze and
wonder want planner of beast could havgitbe pre
sumption to don She attire of a gentleman. From
the contents and style o;' your letter, I presume
you were not aware of my sentiments. This will
emighten you on that point, also, that the inter
course Detween ns must cease from this time

pliances of science to render impregnable a posi
tion by nature only too well adapted to facilitate
his operations. “We have witnessed the begin
ning of the end,” We have seen the fortune of
war forsake the pale standard of rebellion, and
we have seen the star spangled banner wave its
rainbow hues in the Southern skies, over the soil
of dark, deceitful, perjured South Carolina. We
have seen a sight worth living for, and worth dy
ing for We hare Seen Sumter avenged.
Concerning she movements of contrabands, wo
read :
Quite a number of “contrabands/ have come
inte camp since the capture of the Island, and
they give some ludicrous and some terrific ac
counts of the “shelling out” the “navy boys”
gave the Palmetto fellows. One of them says :
r ‘De Georgy fellows run fust, den de Sout Caroli
na bosses run like de debble, and de Dutch went
after dem, and none of dem eber dun come back
again.” Another states that he had come up with
some sweet a tates (or de oflisa bosses, and staid
till do place got so mixed he could hardly see his
way out; and on being asked how it looked when
the storm of shells was hailing on the fort aud
Island, he said it looked “jes like if do fire and de
brimstone war a coming down, and de auth war a
gwine up,” and wc- don't doubt that it looked
“jes so” to more than one poor fellow on that hot
Thursday noon.
The state of the weather calls forth the follow
ing comments :
The omnipresent theme of speculation and
small talk, thewtather, is here found in great
abuudance, though thus far pretty much of a
sameness. For iho middle of November, we aro
enjoying the July weather of the North, and
those of ns who sport flaunel feel it sensibly.
We are not the lucky proprietor ot a thermome
ter, but if we were, we don’t doubt we should try
and put it into a sfiady place to cool it a little.
The scarcity of materials has induced a rise in
the price of the paper. The editor says:
Inasmuch as we are the only “Black Republican
Abolition sheet ” published in South Carolina,
and are at considerable expense in procuring
paper and material, wo find it necessary to make
a slight advauco on our price. We will be obliged
to ask three cents for single numbers of the Kettle
and give ten copies for twenty-five cents. Never
theless, to the citizens of the “Palmetto Empire”
we wfll furnish the Kettle at the old price. If
any of our friends at the North, where things are
plenty, take a fancy to send us a few bundlea of
paper, wo would consider ourselves under many
obligations to the “horid Yankees.”

December Bth 5801. f
To the Editor of the Chronicle A Sentinel :
I have noticed several communications in your
paper concerning Coal mines in Tennessee. Our
friends seem not to know we have valuable mines
in Georgiu. The Nicojack Coal mines and Castle
Rock, are the finest in Georgia or East Tennesg. e.
The Nicojack Coal mines are situated in Dale
couDty, six miles from ihe Nashville and Chatta
nooga R. R. The owners, Messrs Gordon and
Russell, have built a branch road from shell
Mound Depot to their mines, it is equiped with
an engine and everything complete, and if tber
are supplied with cars for transpotation, the ciii
zens need not “pull down their gratea” for tbev
cpuld ship from 50 to 150 tons per day. The Nic-

a m,le in width, ranges from four to six feet iu

-there are some four or five other strata
which have not been tested which I think are vai

The Salt Question.—The Marietta Advocate 1
says : “Gov. Brown proclaims that he did not de
sign the seizure of salt bought by consumers.—
The fact is, the seizure of salt can affect no class
as seriously as the consumers. It prevents mer
chants from importing salt upon speculation into
the State, and, when the present stock ia exhaus
ted, the consumer will have to go without salt,
without Gov. Brown issues another proclamation
declaring no salt shall in future be seized upon
any pretence whatever. Better let trade alone.’
From the Panama correspondence of tbs New
Yord Herald we extract the following in relation
to the hostile feeling existing there against North I
Americans :
The ill feeling against North Americans still
continues, and is revived by each fresh arrival of
California troops landing at tbe railroad depot
and crossing over in “battle array,” The'nativee
complain, not without reason that it is a violation
of their nghta as a nation. <

n>* “FanoyjSweel” AlUalr--Tliereby
Hangs a Tale.
The following dispatoh appeared in all the Nash- j
vide papers yesterday :
Brashari:, Nov. 9.—Via New Orleans. Mrs.
Fannie Sweet, Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Stephens’
father arrived here to-day.
Chiel McClelland arrested Mrs. Sweet, who
will go down by the train this evening.
The reader doubtless wondered why this dis -
patch was sent here ; and probably dis’missed t!:e
matter by supposing that there had been a tem
pest iu the teapot of Brashear City, and that the
good people there thought all the' outside world
aware of it, aud felt an interest in it. But reader
there was more in that dispatch than met your
eye. It was but m atomic incident in the huto
-17 of 6 woman’s life of shame and crime.
flome years ago a woman appeared in New Or
leans, by the name of Fanuv Smith. She was
born 111 the State of New York, in 1827, aud be
coming too notorious in New York city for tier
intrigues, lelt that place about the vear 1?45 for
the Crescent City. There, the faith ui chronicler
of the Bee of tbat city, says she attained a great
er reputation for seducing and ruining men than
any woman of the times whose bistorv is known.
Her first victim in this city was a young gentle
man, widely loved for his amiability an<f good
quali.ies, who became so infatuated w'ith her as to
defraud the bank in which be was employe i, to
pander to her extravagance, and then ‘had to
make his escape to Havana when discovered,
bringing shame aud sorrow upon a noble family.
She was a bold, bad woman, as unscrupulous its
she was courageous. Her habit was to sleep with
a brace of pistols under her head, and sometimes
a bowie-knife on her pillow. She tried to throw
a woman, of whom she was jealons, from a second
story balcony into the street, but being prevent
ed, she was satisfied with throwing her down
stairs and breaking her collar-bon9. In 1860, she
went to California with an old woman of equally
bad reputation, named Mrs. Sweet, whose name
she afterwards assumed. In the wild, lawless
condition ofCalifornia at that time, she lound full
opportunity for the full scope of her masculine,
imperious disposition.
At the mines she carried it with a high head,
quarrelling aud fighting without asking or expec
tng any consideration tor her sex. In one rough
and tumble fight she had in a bar room, three of
her ribs were broken. In another affray sbe shot
and killed a stngedriver. Her stay in California
lasted about eight years, at the end of which time
she found that State becoming too quiet, aud she
succeeded in entrapping Mr. A. M. Hinckley, the
proprietor of the California express, into marry
ing her. They started on a bridal tour for the
States, but the honeymoon was a brief one for
him. He died very suddenly on the Isthmus of
Panama, and she went to New Orleans with Ins
money, bought a handsome residence on St. Lou
is street, drove around in her carriage, and had a
train of servants. But her enjoyment of this ease
did pot lust long, for she was arrested on the
charge of causing the death of one her slave girls
by cruel treatment. She gave bail for his appear
ance, and ran away, to New Y’ork, where she
abandoned the name of Mrs. Hinckley, aud again
returned to that of Fanny Sweet. She became
involved in some difficulty in New York that is
not understood, but which compelled her to leave
the city very suddenly, and again shß returned to
New Orleans.
She was penniless now, and hired a little cot
tage on Canal street, below Claiborne. Another
victim was necessary, aud she found it in au elderly
gentlemau of great wealth, thß head of a promt
nent business house in this city: She became a
terrible incubus upon him, one half the time
using all her fleeting powers ot fascination, and
the other half threatening him with a vengeance
he know her bold enough to execute, and oc
casionally placing his life in actual danger. In
vain he tried to leave her—she would not let him.
He purchased for her the property on Garquet
street and three slaves, furnished it magnificent
ly, aud supported her in princely style, hut all
tbs time wishing her to the Old Harry. At length
she accepted his proposition to receive a large
sum of money and leave the city. He paid her
the money, but she refused to comply won her
part of tiio engagement, although she aid not
trouble him much alter that.
She uow spread her nets again and entrapped
Mr. Win. G. Stephens, a wealthy Now Orleanian.
How she became acquainted with him is not
known. Mr. Stephens was “the pink of proprie
ty,” quiet a, and staid iu his habits, a religiously
domestic man. His wife had died, leaving him
two children, with whom he lived in vary com
fortable style on Magazine street. He was a man
of about lorty, a church member, aud so punc
tilious in his conduct that he would not enter a
coffee house.
Nevertheless he took her to his house, disguis
ed as a man, and concealing her features with a
pair of spectacles, and introduced her as his
nephew, Freddy. From the time she went to his
house, she was never out of his sight, but she
rode in his buggy and went with him every
where. He followed her advice about everything,
and sold all his property at great sacrifices, turn
ing it into.gold and sterlingjexchauge. She also
disposed ut her property aud slaves, aud realized
some fifteen r twenty thousand dollars in spe
cie. The inducement to do this was a plan held
out to him by her of going to Havana and bring
ing back a large quantity of arms and munitions
ot war, to be smuggled through Mexico.—
that this “nephew Freddy” was no other than
Mrs. Fanny Sweet is said to be a well established
fact, she having been recognized in the disguise,
spoken to, and acknowledged her identity, bv one
gentlemau in particular, who had had previous
business relations with her. To one person she
said that she was going to the wars as "first
lieutenant of a scouting party,” and had just pur
chased half a dozen blankets, which she said
were for this command. She then remarked, “I
have discarded petticoats forever."
Some weeks ago Mr. Stephens prooured pass
ports in New Orleans for himself and three com
panions. One of these companions was “ Frid
ay,” another was a man named Lincoln, former
employee of Stephens, thethird notkuowu. Thev
left tor Mexico, but when they arrived at Hous
ton, Texas, “ Freddy” was arrested ss a woman
in disguise, and Stephens was constrained to re
turn to New Orleans and get a passport for her as
a woman. Having done this and returned to
HougtoD, the party set out on their journey, ike
□ext that is heard of them, they are, on the lyta
of November, on the road from Corpus Cbristi to
Brownsville, Mr. Stephens dead in their wagon,
having, it is believed, been poisoned by ill s.
Sweet, that she might get possession of his for
tune, which he had converted into money, aid
with a paramour, the third person mention* and
above, enjoy it in Mexico.
'lho above dispatch announces the success of a
party who were sent out to arrest her. Her
crimes having reached their climax, itial’krly
that they will now end with her life
The Mortality at Pickbks.—A dispatch yrss
received in this city, Saturday last, (says tbe Sa
vannah Republican, of the 9th,) from a naval offi
cer at Pensacola, which may throw some light on
the harm done to the enemy in the late eDgag- -
ment. It says a deserter from Pickens reports
that sixty-three men were killed, and a large num
ber wounded in the fort by Bragg’s fire, and that
Gen. Brown himself is among the wounded.—
W bat credit is due to the statement, we are unable
to say.
The Georgia Coast. —Tbe New York Herald,
of the 3d contains several letters of its “Geor
gia correspondent,” and has a rough and inaccu
rate map of the entrance to Savannah harbor.—
Tho correspondent boasts of seeing the “flag of
the Union once more raised in haughty Georgia.’’
The Scmtbr Aoaix.— An arrival at New fork
from Barbadocs, brings intelligence that a British
man of war had spoken the privateer Sumter, on
the 37th of November, three degrees south of Ber
muda, and that the captain of the privateer had
informed the boarding officer that he had sent a
challenge to the Federal gunboat Crusader to
come out and fight him, but that the latter bad
declined the invitation.
