RE: Conspirators
Weichmann didn't get his government job until January 1864 (according to his memoir). Before that, he taught school. While in the War Department, he was a member of the War Department Rifles, so perhaps that counted as service?

"The draft has not yet taken place at Ellicott Mills, and consequently I know not yet what will become of me. In case I am drafted, I will have recourse to your influence with the Government to obtain my exemption."

It was actually Menu who was writing to Weichmann, asking Weichmann to intervene if Menu got drated.
