The great Kentucky conspiracy. startling revelations — the Hypocrisy of the Union leaders exposed — the witnesses on the stand, &c. [from the Bowling Green (Ky.) Courier, Nov. 1.] None have known better than the Lincoln managers in Kentucky that the heart of the people of the State is with the South in the struggle in which these States are engaged — that the sympathies and interests of our people alike inclined them to unite the destinies of the Commonwealth with the Southern Confederacy, now the last hope of Republicanism — that whenever they have an opportunity at the polls, they will formally separate from the remnant of the old Union with which the State is now nominally allied — and it is because they know this fact that they conceived the stupendous fraud which they have with such success practiced, the results of which are seen in the present deplorable condition of the Commonwealth.

on a charge of obtaining by false pretences, a buggy, saddle and bridle, and $497 in bank notes, from King & Lambeth, a manufacturing firm of this city. From the testimony given in court, it appears that the accused went to King & Lambeth's establishment on Tuesday evening, about sundown, represented himself as a Colonel to the army, and said that he wished to purchase a buggy and saddle. He had no ready money to spare, but produced a pay roll for four months service, from July 1st to November 1st, at $180 per month, amounting to $720. He informed the proprietors that he fought at Manassas on the 21st of July, where he was wounded, and had been twice promoted;--that the Government was short of funds now, but the endorsement on this account would give it preference over any other claim. After some further consultation it was agreed to let him have the articles, which came to $223, the firm taking the account to collect, and paying him $497, the difference in the amount. The purcha

the City Hall, in Washington, was consumed by fire on Saturday night last. One life was lost — that of one of the nurses. The soldiers in the building at the time were all saved, but there was no other place provided for them, and what will result from their exposure does not as yet appear.

He sends scouting parties out every night, and they very rarely return without game. The Secesh in that county are very much enraged at the Captain's energy in bringing them to justice.--Wheeling Intelligencer, Nov. 1. The New York Timeshas the following: The property of Charles W.

The Chicago correspondent of the New York Times, writing under date of Nov. 1, has the following paragraph relative to the removal of Gen. Fremont: The removal of Gen. Fremont from the command of the Western Department excited no surprise here, as it has been for weeks regarded as a foregone conclusion. The public mind has been treated to all kinds of rumors and reports prejudicial to him, with the view of preparing it for the step. Nevertheless there is much indignation on all sides, and the majority favor the opinion that he has been shabbily treated, and look

under my command left Hampton Roads, and with the army transports numbered fifty vessels. On this day previous I had dispatched the coal vessels, twenty-five in all, under convoy of the Vancalia, Commander Haggerry, to rendezvous off Charleston, not wishing to give the true point. The weather had been unsettled in Hampton Roads, though it promised well when we settled, but off Hatteras it blew hard. Some ships got into the breakers, and two struck, but without injury. On Friday, the 1st November, rough weather soon increased into a gale, and we had to encounter one of great violence from the southeast, a portion of which approached to a hurricane. The fleet was utterly dispersed, and on Saturday morning one said only was in sight from the deck of the Wabash. On the following day the weather moderated, and ships and steamers began to reappear Orders (not opened except in case of separation) were furnished to all the men-of-war by myself, and to the transports by Brig.
