frequently resorts to Aimulauts. It should
stund to Governor Johraun's credit that lioforo

that he was not fit to mnko tho trip, and that
he would rather remain at home, to assist in
tho regeneration and restoration nf Tennessee,

In obedience to their utmost request he cuine,

MEETING OF TUB t.MUNIHTg OP WIUI1NOTO.N.
Tho gathering of citizens nt the Theatre lust
night, in pursuance to the call of the .Mayor,
was very large, very enthusiastic and hi(hjy
respectable. No larger or mora enthusiastic
or more respectable meeting has assembled iu
ninny years in this city. A small detachment
of Col. I! milieu's Provost Guard was station
ed at the door, with strict orders tu rcfusu ad
mission to all iifljcers nnd privates either of Ihe
army or navy. Nono arther than citizens of
the town were admitted, except the rorrespon
dents and reporters of the ores of New Yoik
and oilier places, and possibly a few civilians
following the army, "hose dress made them on
recognizable. It was purely a gathering of
citizens, ns free from any foreign clement as it
was possible for a public gathering in be.
In the throng that filled the body and galler
ies of the large house, we noticed majority of
the present male inhabitants of the town.

Tub mi Kitoit ok Mexico and the
Cliuitfll Property. The Emperor Maximil
ian's letter relative to the church property in
Mexico is briefly remnrked on by several of Ihe
Paris journals. The Pressc deolares that the
letter calls for no coiiiiiiaml further than it re
sponds tn nno of the great necessities nf the
present timo. The Opininn Rationale has tlie
follow ing : .
"In tho snlo of ecclesiastical tirnnerty and
the establishment nf civil niat riagas the Empe
ror Maximilian is confirming the acts of Juarez
and Coinnnlort, tlie only two liberal Presidents
the .Mexicans ever bud. That step is very
commendable, but wns iv rcvoluiiou necessary
to establish the principal measures which had
detei mined the clerical party and the chief lm-
pertaltsls ol the present moment to demand the
intervention of Europe ?
1 lie Union merely makes the snl joined oh
icrvatioii :
"Olio is nt a loss lo ooujecturo tlie motives
for so prompt and energetic a measure. If this
news is correct there, will bo no Innirer nnv
doubt as to the character nnd tendency nf the
imperial letter.
The following passage is taken from the
Man tie :
"Everything tends to the belief that Ihe
Mexican Emperor will mnko Iho Concordat
himself, which is singular enough. It remains
to be seen whether, with principles like these,
public security will be re eptiiiilishuil. The
United States will play out their game nt the
appointed lime ; there is only too much reason
to lenr that matters will turn nut ns no say.
1 he Emperor Maximilian will ut least uut fail
to have been unrued nbniit these' things."
Tho Gazette dr. France expressess itself in
these terms :
" Tlie Emperor Maximilian promised the
Pope befnru his departure that he would exam
ine attentively the question of the church prop
erly with the Pupal Nuncio accredited lo Ins
court, nnd yet hardly had Ihe Nuncio arrived,
tliaii, without any previous examination, his
Majesty set the question aside, ratifying by his
signature all Ihu spoliation, coiiimitteil to' the
prejudice ol the clergy by preceding govern
inents, nnd more especially by that ol Juarez.
The Nuncio wns eiven twenlv-foiir honrs in
decide; but of this be had no need, for his
duty was lo refuse all participation in tins net,
and to leave the entire responsibility on the
shoulders of the Emperor. In fact. Iho Nun
cio could not give ihe npprohnlion of the Holy
raiuer to a measure wliiuli ho Hud not been in
vited Iu examine and discuss, as be Mid a riirht
In expeut. Wo need hardly add that the Em
peror s determination lias created irreat discon
tent nniuiig llie Mexican cloroy. If tho Em
peror Miixiinilinu ell jnlil lose tlie support nf tin-
Catholics we hardly sen upon what support he
ni I count, ,iuce that of the French nrniv will
soon bo withdrawn."
OitiiiiN ok Chivalry. Tho institution of
Chivalry rose in the eleventh century. It was
to manners what Feudalism was tn politics,
nnd so aristocratic that none b it persons nf nn
ble birth were eligible to Kuighlhood. It was
a conservative, lint a refnrinatid-y institution, a
f'tsiini of aristocracy nnd ecclesiasticisui a
sort of union of Church uud Stute. Under
its laws the siiierior clergy hud the power of
conferring Knighthood, and Wilbun Itufu.
called "Ihe lied King." wns so kui"hted by the
Archpishnp of Entrance. From that institu
tion grew the Knights Templars, Knights of
St. John, Knights of Si. James and Kuiglils
ol St. Micheul, who, combining their vices uud
debauchery Willi the superstition nnd nvaricu
of monks, wrought vu-t evil to the Slate. With
lliat, also, originated dualling; and the imme
diate Meet of ihe whole institution was tu keep
the humbler classes in a condition of Uegrada
tioil and Vassalage to tho higher, and slop the
march 1 1 social improvement, widening the
separation between Ihu several classes of so
ciety. Chivalry made more headway in Franco
than iu England. Tournaments wero first es
tablished by the French, mid were thence in
troduced iu England, iu the reigu uf Stephen.
The lust one was held iu Franco iu I.ilii, ter
minated iu fatal accident, nfter which these
spectacles ceased forever. In England, in
early as the tlnrtcoi.th century, chivalry be
gan to fall into disreputo, and laws wore pass
ed compelling people lo accept ita order ol
Knighthood. Iu Ihu next century the Knights
were deprived of their military character, and
iu tho lilteeiith, Chivalry became an object uf
riuicuie among me r.iigiisn people.

THE ATTEMPT; TO BURN NEW YORK CITY.
Execution of fnptnln Robert ('. Kennedy,
C H. A. Ills luiitessloii.
Capt. Robert Cobb Kennedy oi the robel
army wns executed at Fort Lafayette nn the
25th of March, having been convicted by Court
Martini of being a spy, and comprising one nf
the gang of Southern desperadoes who attempt
ed to burn New Yurk City in March last. Wo
clip tho following ucconut uf tho culprit, and
the soetios attending his execution, Irom the
New York Times :
Kennedy's antbcedknts iuh thiai, and
conviction. '
Kennedy wns born In an interior enmity of
Louisiana. Ilia parents nro people nf 'fair
menus, uud gavo him. with his several biolhen
and sifters, a liberal education, which, in tho
enso of Robert, was finished by a twn yenrs
course nt West Point. In 185(1 he left tlie
Aoudomy and went tn bis native plantation,
where ho led the quiet life of a planter until
the opening nf the rebellion, sinoe which timo
he and his brothers havo oonstnntly served in
the Anry of tho Southwest. Two or three of
his brothers, possibly all, died in battle, and he,
after several captures and releases, was retaken
end sent as prisoner of war to Johnson's Isl
and, where he mndehis escape and Hod to Can
ada. lie there met the Confederate agents,
and was sdpported by their means. He wai
regarded as wholly useless in planning nr exe
cuting matters requiring caution nr delicacy nf
manipulation, but us tlie best man of the forco
fur anything reckless, j-.-vilish or foolish. . The
fright into which tho city was thrown on tha
night nf November 25th, will not soon be for
gotten. The Government wns alarmed, the
municipal authorities astonished, and even thn
detectives at fault. Chief Young soon found
a trail, hnwever, nud, by closely following it,
succeeded in arriving nt the facts as thus given.
The tdot to burn tho city is said to have origi
nated in the feriile bruin ul " Larry " McDon
ald, whose brother Augnstns was confined till
yesterday in this- city, lor being concerned in
the incendiary uffuir. Ho supplied the gold in
Cnnnda, wlii; h pnid the expenses of Iho tneu
who wero sent on to do his work, nt the sacri
fice nf property, limb and life, ns well as the
risk of those concerned. Eight men oaino on
nt different times ami stopped ut different ha
tela, until they became familial izsil with their
internal arrangements. Then they all gathered
in it private boarding honsu in Prince street,
where they remained until tlie fuilure nf their
in ti-M I inns made (he city too hot to hold them.
Had they been only nnrtiullv successful. Iluf.
fain would havo been hurtled, nud Sandusky,
Ohio, also; hut tho niter failure in every In
stance, tho want of concert, absence of soien-
tihu knowledge nud tlie weak-bearti duess of
loom of the men engaged, tu give tn "Larry's"
plans a visionary look w Inch will secure for them
no imitators. Thn original intention was to
have burned New York on tho night of election
November 8th ; but, owing tn the nun-arrival
of a cl list from Canada, who hud ngrued to
prostitute his scientific acquirements to tho
basest nf nses for a consideration, the plot could
not be perfected by thut time, and it was post
poned until Friday, the 25t h . Tlie parties en
gaged iu the mutter wero Kennedy, Maxwell,
Williams, Chcynitult, Lnugrneyer. nud three
others, one nf whnm was released from Fort
Lafayette on Thursday, at which time be cheer
fully look the until of nllegiuiioo. ; ., ,
A letter to Gtis McDonald gnvn the detec
tives a cine, nud by a systcnt uf fincm, as en
tertaining as it is skillful, Chief Young and nf-'
licere llenuet and McDougal arrested Kennedy
in Detroit whilo en route fur Iho South, lie
was nt mice hrniight lo this city nod lodged at
ili Police IIendiiiarteis, where, however, he
behaved bo outrageously that it was deemed
prudent tn send him lo Fort Lafayette.
His trial, which has been given ut length in
the 7Vie, wns held at Gen. Dix's headquar
ters, Itrig.-tieu. Filz Henry Warren, President.
Maj. Holies was Judge Advocate, and Hrtg.
Gen. .Stoiighton, an old West Point classmate
with Kennedy, generously undertook his do
leiise. The charges went two fold, 1st, That
ho was a spy, 3d. That he had violated tha
laws of war in setting fire tn hotels in Now
mitt, i liu unanimous finding of the Court
was " guilty," and Iho sentence, " death by
hanging."
Tlio uiindnct nf Kennedy nfter bis conviction
presented aslningo mixture nf bravado, reck
lessness, Inutility, hopefulness, malignity and
goniliiess uf heart. The day before the exe
cution, it was suggested to Kennedy that H
would be gratifying lo the otlicers connected
with ihe alia' r, nml lo Ihe Court which tried
htm, if ho should make a frank, free statement
of the facts connected with the attempted
burning ol llie city. It will be remembered
that nt no time has ho made confession of his
connection with the nfl'uir, all hough Incidental
droppings noulil warrant one in imt rnng an
admission. To Ibis, after some little skirmish
ing, lie consented, and made lite fill owimr

" After my escape fiuin Johnson's Island I
went direct to Canada, where I met a number
uf Confederate olbcers. They asked me if F
wna willing lo go on an expedition. I said
"Yes, if ii's iu the service ol my cooolry."
To which they replied: "It's till right," but
gave no intimation as to its nature, nor did I
n-.k for any. I Tni shortly nfter sent tn New
York, where I stnyrd soino time. There were
eight of us ill the party, and alter we had been
in Ihu city three weeks we Wero told that Ihe
object ot the expedition was In retaliato upnn
the North for the ntriK-iiies of Sheridan in tho
Shftinnilouh alley. It was origiunlly Intended
to set lire to the city on the tiiglit of the liSlh
of November. Of Ihu fight men who funned
the original party, two lied to Canada, leaving
hut six. I wns ut first stoppint, nl tbo llehiiont
House, in Fulton etreet, hut alterwnrds moved
into Prince street. I set fire to fonr hotels, or
rather tu Illinium's Museum, Lovejoy's Hotel,
Tammany Hotel end the New England House.
The others only let fire to Iho house iu which
each was stopping, nud then cut nlT. Had the
entire eight done as I did, we would have set
lire to :fi houses and played a good juke on the
Fire Department.
" I know that I nm to be hung for setting
fire to Illinium's Museum, hut the fact is lliat
that nffiir was simply n reckless joke. I had
nn idea of doing it, but when we were In there,
fur tho mere fun of llie thing, I emptied a hot
tin of phosphorus nn the floor, just to suuru the
people. I knew it wouldn't nt fire tn wood,
lor we bud tried that before, and hail at one
time about concluded to give It up. Them
wns no lieuilishuess about it. Tin Museum
wns set mi lire by merest accident, after I had
been drinkiu;'. and just for the Tun or a scare.
" After setting fire (o four places, I walked
the itreet all night, until near morning, when
I went to Ihe Exchange Hotel. There we all
met Ihe next morning, and agnin nl night. My
((lend and I had rooms there, but .at mo.t
of the day in tho iiflice, while the detectives,
who were thick, wntched us, I expee'ed then
that I should bo caught, and if caught, I ex
peeled to die. Had I done , then, it would
havo been all right, Imt I think now its rather
rough. I escaped loCaiiadu, ns did nil Ihe
rest, and Very gbul I win lo get lately across
the budge. 1 waa restless, however, nud want
ed to rejoin my command. I started with my
friend by way nf Detroit. Just before wo
rescind the ciiy lie received an intimation that
iho detectives wer on the lookout for ns, and
giving me a signal, he lumped from the ears,
I didn't notice Ihe signal but kept no and waa
arrested at Ihe depot.
I wish to say lliat the killing of women
and children waa Ibe last thing we thought of.
We wauled lo let Iho people uf the North un
derstand and feel Ibat there are two isdcs lo
Ibis war, sod that they can't be rolling in
wealth ami comfort while we at tha Sooth are
baring all the hardships and privations. Iu

Washington ipeoial dispatch says : While
President Lincoln wai in Richmond, Judge
Campbell told him that in an interview with ,
Davis, Breckinridge and lieniainin, iust before
they left, ho said to them that, as there was
no liopo tor llie Confederacy, and President
Liuoolu could not negotiate with tkem, be '
(Lincoln) would tiegotiute with the Slatei and
recognize the right of tho Virginia Legislature
to control tha troops of thut State. He then '
told Lincoln that if ho would pormit that body
lo coiivi no it would doubtless recall the Vir- '
giuia troops from the field. Linooln oaulioned
Judgo Campbell against any misunderstanding ,
ami gave hiiu in writing his only terms, whiua
wero those tendered in tho Hampton Roads in

case the rebels persisted in tlie war their prop. '

the way to Washington Mr. Linooln wrote an
order to Generni Wcitzcl to nermit the Vir

the purpose of withdrawing the Virginia troop
from tho rebel army, but not tn allow the use ,
of any treasonable measure!. But nn tb eery
Iny of his death he received a letter Iron
Judge Campbell, toned with his usual Inso
lence, ignnriug altogether the proposition whioh
the President had made to him, aud urging
that, though the military power of the Confed

people was still unbroken. "If you want to

gru ut nn amnesty, aud necessary for you to -treat
leniently publio men and seek their assis
