The Plot to Release tbe Csafodtrale Pris
oners at Johnson’s Island*
The Chicago Tribune gives wbat it insists is s
full and correct account of the plot, so recentB
frustrated, which bad for its object the release ol
the Johnson s Island prisoners and the “capture’’
the city of Chicago. It says;
A force of about four hundred men—K. G. C’s.
bushwhackers and guerrillas, were to be assem
bled at Chicago, and with them an attack was to
be made on camp Douglas on Monday evening
for the purpose of liberating the Confederates
confined there. Walsh, with one hundred and
fifty men, was to assault the e«st side of :ha
camp, and another man, whose name we may not
now furnish, with two hundred, was to take the
west side: the operation to be superintended by
Marmadnke, who was to have the remaining fifty
men as a reserve corps, ready to acc where want
ed. The programme was to break down the
fence and stampede the twelvo hundred prisoners,
who were all ready for the work, having been in
formed of it in some way best known to them-
salves. The prisoners were to be armed as rapid
ly as possible, the garrison overpowered, their
arms and artillery secured, and the garrison made
prisoners. This, it was believed, could easily be
done if tbe attack was made as concerted ; and
indeed there is little room to hope that it would
have hnnn otherwise than successful had it not
been nipped in tbe bud Dy a pmuaiuio oxpouurn
of tf>e whole scheme. With Marmaduke at their
head, the rebels were to march into the city and
take possession of the court house and square as
the base of offensive operations. They were then
to take possession of the polls, voting in pre
cinct, and preventing the deposition in the ballot
box of any other than tbe McClellan ticket. This
being accomplished, and a majority in the State
thus secured, they were to proceed at once to the
work of destruction. All the banks were to be
robbed, the stores gutted, and then fire set to tbe
principal buildings; for the purpose of controling
this latter phase of tbe business, the water plugs
bad all been marked and a force detailed to set
tbe water running, so as to empty the main cis
tern and exhaust the water supply. The telegraph
wires were to be cut on tbe first onset, and then
tire set to*the railroad depots, the elevator, the
shipping, &e. The persons of the leading Union
men in the city were to be seized, aud they, with
tbe plunder, march southward.
It was believed that, with this force of nearly
thirteen thousand men, the city could be so quick
ly overwhelmed as that effective opposition
would be impossible, and that tiny could then,
under their leader, Marmaduke, march in auy
direction with perfect impunity.
The scheme was well concocted. It lacked
only one essential—a successful issue. Thank
providence that it was denied them. They had
assembled here as per programme, aud had tbe ar
rests been delayed a single day, it would have
been too late—the oft repeated threat would have
been executed, and rivers of blood would have
run in the streets of Chicago. No one can doubt
that bad they once commenced active operations,
they would have been joined by a sufficiently
large number of Chicago disloyalists to have
made a clean sweep of the city, aud reduced it to
a Leap of ashes.
Walsh is completely unmanned—broken down
by his sudden arrest, the complete exposure of the
treasonable conspiracy into which he has been
made the dupe of persons more designing
than himself, who have manufactured out of him
a genuine cat’s paw. He evidently feels that his
only chances of safety is to make a clean breast
of the whole matter, and expose the villains who
have over-persuaded him into this net. He now
sees the deep guilt of the whole transaction, and
the depth of the gulf on whose brink he has been
lying.
Marmaduke has made a partial confession, or
rather a series of admissions, which, as far as
they go, fully substantiate Mr. Walsh’s state
ments, and leave no doubt that the conspiracy
was fully as diabolical in its character as is rep
resented above. He has made these statements
to a man who formerly served under him, and
whom he still supposes to be in the Confederate
service.

Georgia has, notwithstanding the invasion of
her own soil and the presence on it of a hostile
force far surpassing any that has ever entered
South Carolina, shown a noble example in de
fending herself on the soil of South Carolina.
South Carolinians will be justly doomed to
gross reproach if they do not, old or young, con
scripts or exempts, according to call and oppor
tunity, imitate Hnd repeat tho example, whether
on the East or West side of the Savannah river.
The pledges given by Bartow, and Jackson,
and others, to and from Charleston, on the cele
bration of the completion and opening of the
Charleston and Savannah Railroad, have been
fully redeemed so lar, but are still recognized by
the survivors.
From what has been done and dared by our
brethren of tbe Palmetto roll elsewhere in this
war, we have no fears for them—but we only ask
and beg that all concerned, at home and on our
owu soil, should see to it that a State thus repre
sented in the army near the border shall not suf
fer stain or detriment because her ‘reserves’ are
not equal to Georgians or Virginians. The Vir
ginia reserves at Satville, Va., and the Georgia
reserves at Honey Hill, South Carolina, have
made a record which the veterans under Lee
would not disdain to own.—Charleston Courier.
A Richmond Opinion.—The Richmond Ex
aminer comes to the conclusion that Sherman
can reach the coast, and that our concentration
of troops, though sufficienfto protect the inland
cities, is not adequate to attack and destroy him,
or prevent his escape from Georgia. But tho
same journal adds: ‘But after all. what has been
the worth of his great march ? He has destroyed
farm houses aud villages on the direct line ot his
march, and ruined some unfortunate families.—
But he has done nothing of military importance,
and evacuates Georgia. If he should succeed iu
taking tbe closed ports of Savannah or Charles
ton, he will be magnified by the mob of New
York, but he will not diminish the strength of the
Confederacy one iota. The only serious conse
quence of his whole movement would follow tlio
addition of his army to that of Grant; but that
could be nullified by a proportional addition to
that of Lee. The Confederacy will not die of
Sherman.’-
Another One op Lincoln’s Jokes.—A
correspondent of the Richmond Examiner, writ
ing from Washington City, the 22d instant, re
lates the following:
It is said that a few nights since a party cf
Lincoln’s friends daring a social call, interroga-
t-tively expressed tbe hope that the war was pro
gressing to his satisfaction. “Ah” said Lincoln,
“I don’t know sir; my condition reminds me of
tbe story of one of our Illinois country schoolmas
ters who gave one of his pupils the third chapter
of Daniel as a reading lesson. The boy began,
but when he came to the names of Shadjrack, Me-
shack and Abednego, they were unpronouncea
ble. Tbe master required the boy to proceed, but
he failed again. He tried flogging; but still it
was no go. Relenting, be told the boy to pass
that chapter and read the preceding one Bright
ening up, the little fellow got on famously until
he reached the last verse, when, pausing with a
look of dismay, he closed tbe book, saying, “It’s
no use, sir; here are them three rascally fellows
again;” and thus, said the great joker to his
friends, “am I situated, gentlemen, in regard to
these rebel Generals.”
Good Riasoxikg.—There is a good deal of sound
ride a hobby.” “There is not much difference be
tween the two,” carelessly remarked the gentleman.—
“Oh! yes there is,” said the patient. «K>ditis this: if
ride a horse/you can stop him and get off, but
n von mount a hobby, you can t stop and you can’t
YOU
when you mount a hobby,
get off.’
Tfee Battle of Ho ne y Hill.
In oar account of this affair, in Thursdav •
issue, we spoke of it as a “drawn battle, ’
oaring continued tbe fight until dark. We wrote wh)
the olhml dispatch of Gen. Smith before us, in -which
his modesty, wnich is equal to his merit, led us iato
error by withholding the true character of the conte*t
and the real magnitude ofthe victory—for such it was
and for tlie numbers engaged, one ot" the ino*t brilliant
and important of the war. It was dearly a movement
»n the part ofthe enemy to co-operate with Sherman ;
»o large a force would never have been sent simply
h i- CUt Uharleston Railroad, when the Yankees
neheved it to be defended only by a company of cav-
Honey FI111 is about two and a half miles east ofthe
village of GrahamYille, Beaufort District. On the
crcsl of this where the road, cn highway, strikes it, is
a semi-circular line of earthworks, Yefeetive though ia
construction, as they are too high for infantry and
liax e little or no exterior shape. These works formod
tlie centre ot onr line on Wednesday, whilst our left
reached up to the pine lands without protection and
our riglir along a lino of fence that skirts the swamp
below tlie batteries. They commanded fully the road
in front as it passes through the swamp at the base of
the bill, and only some fifty or sixty yards distant.—
Through the swamp, during the wiuter months, runs a
small crock which spreads up ami down the road for
some thirty or forty yards, but is quite shallow tho en
tire distance. 8ome sixty yards beyond the creek the
main road turns off to the' left, making an obtuse an
gle, whilst another and smaller road makes off to tho
right from the same point.
Tlie enemy came by the former road and turned the
angle apparently before th y were aware of the pres
ence of an opposing force. They consisted of four rog-
imeuts of whites and the same number of blacks. Pris
oners, of which ten or twelve are iu our possession
state that this force was commanded bv General Fos
ter and Hatch; some of them say Gen. Foster wus
also present as chief of command. The negroes, as
nsusal, formed tho advance, and had nearly reached
the creek when our batteries opened npon them down
the l oad with a terrible volley of spherical case. This
threw then, in temporary confusion, but the entire
toici% eriimated at five thousand, was quickly restored
to older aud thrown into a line of battle par'allel with
our own, up and down tho margin of the swamp. Thus
tl.e bsittlo raged from 11 A. M. till dark. The enemy's
centre and left were most exposed and suffered terribly.
Their light w, s posted behind an old dam that run
through the swamp, aud it maintained its position till
the close of the fight. Our left was very much ex
posed and an attemp was once or twice made by tlie
enemy to turn it by advancing through the swamp and
up the hill, hut they weie driven back without a pro
longed struggle.
The cent re aud left of the enemy fought with a des
perate earnestness. Several attempts were made to
to charge mir batteries and many got nearly across the
swamp, but were, inevery instance, forced back by the
galling fire poured into them from our lines. We made
a visit to the field the day following and found the
swamp and road literally strewn with their dead.—
Some eight or ten bodies were floating in the water
where the road crosses, and iu a ditch on the roadside
just beyond, we saw six negroes piled one on top the
other• A Colonel of one of the negro regiments, with
his horse was killed while fearlessly leading hi* men
across the creek in a charge. With that exception, all
the dead and wounded were carried off by the enemy
during the night, traces were left where they were
dragged from tlie woods to the road and thrown into
ambulances and carts. We counted some sixty or sev
enty bodies in the space of about an acre, many of
which were horribly mutilated by shells; some with
half their heads shot off, and others completely disem
bowelled. The artillery was served with great accu
racy, aud we doubt if any battle-field of tlie war pre
sents such liavao among tbe trees and Bhrnbbery. Im
mense pines and other growth were cut short off or
torn into shreds.
From all indications it is estimated that the loss of the
enemy is fully five or six hundred. This is tlie lowest
estimale we have heard. Many officers are ofthe
opinion that their loss cannot be less than one thousand.
Ours was eight killed outright and thirty-nine wound
ed, three or four mortally. The enemy fought to some
disadvantage, as they tired up hill, aud most of their
shots ranged too high.
Our infantry behaved with the greatest valor; through
out the protracted struggle there was little or no strag
gling, nearly every man standing firmly to his post of
duty. The Georgia Brigade was commanded by Col.
Willis, whose behavior on the field is highly commend
able. The Athens battalion, under Maj. Cook, and
Augusta battallion, JVIaj. Jackson, stood manfully to
their work. The South Carolina Artillery also acted
most handsomely and served their guns with the
skill of veterans. Great praise is bestowed by
tbe ranking o§icers on Capt. Stewart, of thv Beau
fort Artillery, five guns, and on Earl's and Kanapanx'a
batteries, each of which had a gun in the action.
As before stated, the general command was vested
in Major General Gustavus Smith, of tlie Georgia Stata
forces, though the line was immediately under the di
rection ofCoi.Colcock, whose conduct on the occasion
is Jspoken of as beyond all praise. The gallant Col.
Gonzales was an active participant in the fight and
might have been seen everywhere along the lines post
ing the guns, aud encouraging the troops.
, So much for the battle of Honey Ilill. The *nemy
were whipped long before its close, but they waited
for night to save themselves from tlie disaster in their
retreat. Soon after dark, they made off with all pdk-
sible speed, as the evidences chow, with the wildest
flight and confusion. Nearly everything was thrown
away in their flight. The road and woods was filled for
miles with clothing of every description, canteens, cook:
iug utensils, <frc.,&.., whilst in their camp, about two
miles from the buttle field, they left everything. Any *
quantity of provisions, bottles of liquor, preserved
meats, blankets &c , were abandoned in their liisty re
treat. With tlie exception of shelling from their gun
boats next day, which was harmless, nothing had been
heard of them since their galling defeat and inglorious
flight.— Sav. Republican 3d.
A IVoveltr iu Warfare.
Wo have been favorably impressed with a most
destructive breach-loading battery the invention
of Mr. John H. Freeman, of Co. D. Stale Artillery,
Redoubt No. 3, at Mobile, which has been
“brought up for inspection,” and can now be seen
by those interested, at the entrance of the capitol.
As one of the mo3t dangerous arms ever brought
to bear against cavalry attacks, it is probable
without a competitor, and will undoubtedly be
brought into general use as soon as its peculiar
merits shall have become generally known. It
has already been warmly endorsed by Gen. N. B.
Forrest, the greatest cavalry leader in the Con
federate States service, and is strongly recommen
ded by Gen. DaBney fl. Maury, Commandant of
the District of the Gnlf, at Mobile, by whose or
der the battery has been severely tested by tbe
Board of Survey at that point, and by them fully
approved and passed.
This destructive arm is composed of fifteen 30
inch barrels, calibre 57 (the same as the Enfield ri
fle), and at their base aro screwed into it solid
pieeo of metal.* Near tho muzzle, these barrels
are passed through another piece of iron, in such
a manner that when fired tlie balls spread them
selves over one hundred and twenty feet at 500
yards from the point of discharge. It is loaded at
t.ho breach by a rapid movement, enabling the
gunner to discharge his piece six times a minute.
Simple in construction, it is not likely to get out
of order, and can be cleaned instantaneously
whenever it is needed. Triplicate breech loaders
accompany each battery.
The gun-carriage can be dfawn by a single
horses and with but two men in charge of the bat
tery, a whole squadron of raiders could be made
to bite the dost, and in the meantime tbe battery
conld be moved elsewhere the moment its pres
ence was perceived by the enemy.
The talented invader has been ordered to report
to headquarters at Richmond, and we doubt uot
so destructive and army gun wili soon be of gen
eral use in the service. Meanwhile, we hope our
readers will not omit tbe opportunity of inspec
ting personally so great a novelty, as well as so
meritorious an invention as tbe one we have brief
ly endeavored to describe—Mont. Mail.
A Remarkable wound.-—A soldier in Sheridan s ar
my with his throat cut from ear to ear, was thought to
be mortally wounded by a council of surgeons; but
the one under whose immediate care he was, thought
he was justified in making an experiment for the good
oi the others at the same time liaving^reat hopes of
saving the man. He first commenced his task by cut
ting where the two upper ribs meet the sternum, and
through this orifice tor forty days he has been fed two
gallons of milk per day, and some times his apDetito
requireu five per day. He is fat and hearty, and the
"surgeon thinks in two weeks he will have him able,
and the inside of his throat so nearly heale.d as to allow
him to swallow by the natural passage. He at first
introduced a stomach pump, and time fed his patient,
and after a few hours would clear his stomacn in the
same manner, thus producing artificial digestion, till
it wa* no longer necessary. A silver tube is now used
to feed him.—Yankee Paper,
