uard and protection of our future posterity. After an eloquent appeal to the patriotism of the American people, the speaker closed his remarks, and the proceedings terminated.--N. Y. Herald, April 21, 24. Many eloquent and patriotic speeches were made from the balconies of buildings on the south side of Union square, and amid a very large concourse of ladies and gentlemen. From the balcony of Haughwout's building, the remarks of the Rev. Dr. George W. Bethune and ex-Ald. Douglass of Brooklyn elicited and stirred the right vein, and long and en. thusiastic cheers were given by the listening crowd. It was impossible to put a sudden stop to such enthusiasm. Ten thousand people lingered around the square, and were addressed by stump speakers from balconies at half a dozen or more different places, from the steps of houses, from the regular stands, from the tops of pillars at the entrances of the Park, and Union square did not become quiet until darkness came on, and reminded th

[Applause.] He had an only son, and he, too, was ready to unite with a regiment, to do his duty to his country. [Cheers.] Ex-Judge Birdsall said he had but limited means, but he gave $25 to the fund, and within a week should be in the field himself. (Applause.) Nat. Waring said that he had already fitted out three young men in Brooklyn, would now contribute. $25, and if it were necessary he would go himself. (Applause.) The Hon. Stephen B. Cushing, late Attorney-General, said that a son and clerk he had already sent to the war, and his partner was about to leave as colonel of an entire regiment. Mr. Choate stated that Mr. Fullerton had appropriated $500 for the support of the Newburgh Company, which his nephew commanded, and he now added to this fund $100. (Loud cheers.)

Thirteenth Regiment. The 13th Regiment embarked amid the most intense enthusiasm of the citizens of Brooklyn, who congregated by thousands, lining the streets from the City Hall to the Armory, in Cranberry-street, near Henry-street, to see them off. It was announced that the regiment would take up the line of march at 8 o'clock A. M. Long before that hour the neighborhood of the Armory was filled with an almost impenetrable mass of human beings, nearly every one of whom had friends or near relatives in the regiment. Many ladies were there — the wives, sisters, and daughters of the soldiers. Thes

The intention is to fire the three cities simultaneously, at as many places as possible, and at the same hour at night. This is to be done the night before the attack on Washington. * * * * * * has the direction of the whole plot. One hundred and twenty-five men have been assigned to your city and Brooklyn, and eighty to each of the others. This is not a movement of the Government, though known to Davis. At first he discouraged it, but since Lincoln's proclamation, he has withdrawn his opposition. The men intrusted with the execution of the plot all belong to the inner temple of the Knights of the Golden Circle. The plan has been maturing for two months past, but did not include New York until within a week or ten days. The men assigned to Boston and Philadelphia have been at their post
