The United States steam frigate Mississippi, which sailed Thin tday forenoon fiom Huston, has returned and anchored off the naiyyard. She bad proceeded but n few miles down the harbor when it was discovered that in repairing tho engine, about two inches of tho delivery pipe through which tho water from the conden ser wits forced out of tho side of tho ship, had been cut out, nnd in its place a joint of f;um and canvass substituted, when it should nve been a slip joint of iron or other metal. Tho defectlte part gave way, pouring n 11 iod of water into the ship. Tho engines were there fore immediately stopped and nn anchor thrown out. Temporary repairs wero made so that sho was enable to return, but she lost n 0000 pound anchor by parting of tho cable. Michael Uuinn o' Virginia, lato chief engineer in tho navy, superintended the repairs on the Mississippi. It is slated thnt ho recently resigned and re turned to Virginia, and his name was striken from tho navy roil. It will take one week to repair the machinery. Tho Southern Conspiracy.

Here we have proof, not only that this conspi racy had assumed its present determinate shape fivij years ago, nnd only waited opportunity j but that Mr. Huehanan was nerf -ctlv well aware of the fact at that time when ho took some of the leaders into his cabinet ) nnd when be was passively aiding Cobb, l'lojd, Thompson and 1'oucy'in their plans to cripple the federal gov cr imcnt and assuro the success of the rebellion.

Pursued by the blood hounds of this reign of terror, stripped of eve ry wreck ol property, lulleyranil secured a pas sage to America, in a ship about to .sail. He was a beggar aim a wanderer tn-oiuv to earn bis daily bread by daily labor, 'Is there any American stn ing at your house ?' ho asked tho landlord of the hotel. 'Iain bound to cross the water, and would like a letter to a nerson of nilluence in tho New World.' Tho landlord hesitated a moment, nnd then replied : 'There is a gentleman up stairs either from America or Ilritain; but whether from America or England I cannot tell.' Ho pointed the way, and Talleyrand, who in his hie was bishop, prince ami minister, ascend' ctl the stairs. A miserable suppliant stood be, foro the stranger's door, knocked and entered. In lho far corner of the dimlv lighted room sat a man of some fifty years, his arms folded and his head bowed upon his breast. From a window directly opposite, a Hood of light poured upon his forehead. His eves looked from be neath thodowncast brows, and upon Talleyrand's face with a peculiar and searching expression His face was striking in outline, tho mouth and chin indicative of an iron will. His form, lig- orous even with tho snows of fifty winters, was .i-.i !.. .il. l... :.i i .1!..? i.i. i l-iuu lit u nun. uui nun unit uisiuiguisiieu cos tumo. Talleyrand advanced, stated that ho was a fu gitive, and with tho impression that the gentle man beforo him was an American, hu solicited his kind feeling anil offices. . Ho poured forth his history in eloquent French and broken English. 'I nm a wanderer and an exile. I am forced to fly to tho N ew World w ithout friend or home You are an American. Give me, then, I be, seech you, a letter of yours, so that I rest of Starr, but afterwards he was released. Gen.

"Ob, yeas. It is very simple. You do what I did, and I'll show you." I kicked, he caught my foot) I turned, threw myself on my hands, and thought of course to kick him with my other foot) but, bo simply put ono foot firmly against the thigh of my oth.'r leg, nnd I wus powerless. Thero was in his movements also this same startling rupidly. Tho kicks wcru liko Hashes of lightning, and tho hands constantly ready far n grapple or a blow.

In the first settlement of tho town of Plain field, Sullivan Co., N. II., Joseph Kimball fig ured ns a pioneer and soldier in conquering tho forest mid soil.

Ho cleared uwuy the denso forest with his strong arm. He cultivated his lands iu a any manner a life of labor would be n para disc to a career of luxury in France.

At nearly all availabl points earth works have been thrown up, and are mounted with columbiads and mortars. A huge new building, just outside the main gate on Uarondclet avenue, is occupied by two com panies of regulars, who have constructed a strong earthwork, topped with sand bags, nnu mounted with formidable pieces of ordnance. Other elevated positions, somo of them a quar ter of a mile from the arsenal, nre occupied by volunteers us outposts, and, if need be, will be entrenched and mounted with cannon."

The question whether any one was killed by tho firing from Sumter has become important, from tho persistent hardihood nntl pertinacity with which somo of the Northern journals ad here to statements of great slaughter with ap parently satisfactory references to names nnd particulars. Slaughter, or even utter extermi nation of tho attacking force was desired by the North, and wo doubt not was fervently prayed for, as such incarnate demons prny. With reference to the authors and or ginal reporters of tbeso talci, wo must in charity say that there is somo slight excuse for their first statements, and that we need not conclude that they vvsro wilfully fabricated. Some frightened non-combatants and fugi tives who lied from tho neighborhood of Fort Moultrie after tlio first few rounds, brought fearfully harrassing tales of slaughter. The ru mors of cours grew, nnd before tho first mes sage hid arrived from tho fort, rumor bad kill ed more men than were in tho fort. Somo persons who hoard these rumors, in all probability left the rity before tlie truth was as certained. Whatever explanation may bo given, howev er, of the first thick, flying and unfounded ru mors which nliv.tys go nbrmd from an action of this kind, thorn is no excuse for the editors. It is their duty and privilege to investigate and inquire, and they have fur some weeks now en joyed full opportunities for ascertaining the truth. The truth is that no one was killed and no one seriously wounded in or near any of tlio forts or batteries which opened against Fort Sumter, nnd the only loss of life that attended tlie bombardment and surrender of Sumter was that caused bv Major Anderson's ill-timed and ill-omened salute.
