AT last accounts skating was all the rage
in New York. A correspondent in that city
thus writes touching this rare sport:
"Can you cut up high Dutch ? That is
the agitating question, now, with us In
other words, can you do the big thing on
skates? The two or three freezing days we
enjoyed in the beginning of the week gave
us a CLASSY field for exertion in the lake lots
of the Central Park, and all the world of
leisure turned out on Rockers, half Rockers,
Boston Rockers, Philadelphia Rockers,
Shanghae Rockers Maine Rockers, Patent
skates English skates, st. George Club En-
glish Club, Oxford Club, and Philadelphia
Club ditto, while the rest of mankind went
up to the Park to look on, and prett;ly
vow it was a delightful spectacle to witness,
or roughly swear it was dem foine.' The
skate fever prevailed extensively. Every
body you met had something to say of
Dutch Dumps or Royal Favortes and the
special merits OF each species Of foot-enbel-
Usher; every gentleman grew eloquent over
his graceful cuts, or his ability to do his
mile on the ice little quicker than Flora
Temple. In short even the crisis was for
gotten in the skate excitement, and cold
steel seemed to be the universal resource,
though without the usual belligerent aeces-
sories.

HABFER's FERRY, June 5.-~Jadging from
the display Of soldiery in lie western part OF
the STATE, made up Of northern trash, We are
not very far of from a fight, if Lincoln really
means TO Ispossess the property Of the United
States. The taking Of Grafton By the United
States troops, will become about as notorious
probably, as the celebrated capture Of Gun
town, by the United States forces, in which
engagement one life was lost but it turned out
to be a monkey. So With Grafton. Northern
journals make great bosts Of takingthe village
when there was none to dispute their entrance
The announced flight Of Virginia forces is all
gas, for there were none there to hT. : Several
hundred had been there, but hal left several
days before northern troops csms-as per ths
/ order Of the General who sent them on a spe-
eial mission. So much for the truthfulness Of
northern journals. Doubtless, Though, all the
demonstrations around Us look to one end, and
that is an attack on this place. No one is
bothered about their menaces. We will not
be surprised, and they cannot take Us with
twice our number in a fair fight. No blanched
cheeks here when attacks are spoken Of. II
northern troops want a real victory just le.
I hem give as a chance. We eXpect a fght
are in trim, and we don't care how soon.
Mrs. Bradley T.. johnson, OF Maryland, ar.
rived a da or two since with 500 Mississippi
rifles, s5JOin cash, $500 cartridges, and 1O,06O
caps for the Maryland boys. She was sere-
naded at night by the M8rylandeys, and Mr..
johnson made a handsome speech, followed BY
others, all from the sam State. :
A company Of about enc hundred Baltimore
troops went over into Maryland last night
(sone distance from hsre) and captured a
United States flag and other documents, and
this morning they have the flag bcisted at their
barracks with the Union down. The Mary
land soldiers seem to think they have a sure
rior right to go into Maryland to execute or
ders, and swear they will never yield up the
Maryland nights to northern troops until the
last man expires. Maryland aud Kentucky
claim the privilege Of taking care Of the Mary
land nights, and ! feel sure there is not enough
backbone in Lincoin's men to take tie nights
away tOm them.

A LINCOLN Ram ON COLUMBUS,
KENTUCKY.

q
Dispatches were received in the city on
Yesterday from Columbus, Kentucky, (af.er-
ward oonfrmed) giving the assurance that a
battalion Of about five hundred LIEcoLN troops
came aown tie river from Cairo, landing at
that place about eleven O'Clock ia the fore
noon. They came in a steamer, aud brought
twelve pieces Of artillery with them. After
advancing into the town and pulling down a
Confederate Tag and otherwise insulting the
Inhabitants, they returned to their transport
and made their way back to headquarters.
We have no reason to doubt this very singu-
lar procedure, the intelligence Of which seems
UgdieieDtly confirmed TO attest its truth. 1t
seems to rs to be ~insxpliesbIs on any other
ground than that the adventures, who psrpe-
trated the raid, did go with the mere intention
Of testing the extent Of Kentacky's submission.
TIE duty, OF course, nov devolves upon Gov.
MAGDFFIE, upon ascertsiniRg The full circum-
stances Of tbe case, to demand Of the abolition
commsndant at Cairo The design OF this in
suliing movement, and to take immediate steps
that viii sfeetuslly prevent its repetition.
It is sufficiently well understood in this con-
munity that the occupation Of Columbus, as a
roasting place for the unclean bids now con-
gregsted at Cairo, can never be tolerated a
single day b. Tennessee. If Ksntucky's pre-
tended neutrality should be violated by such
an attempt, without resistance on the part Of
her constituted authorities, an immediate
~dislo5gment Of them BY the soldiery Of the
Volunteer State may be looked for as a mecca
ssry measure in the proseeuligB OF our defense.
i viii, perhaps, save Governor MAeoFFIN no
small deal Of trouble and annoyance to turn
his attention to this matter now, with the view
OF preventing other and more embarrassing
eomuIcations.

Areckless and unprincipled tyrant has in

Of all moral, legal and constitutional restraints,
has thrown his abolition hosts among you,
who are numbering and imprisoning youE
citizens, coHfscsting and destroying your prop
eTty, and committing ether acts Of violence
and outrage, too shocking and revolving to
humanity to be enumerated. All rules of
civilized warfare are abandoned, and they pro-
claim by their acts, if not on their banners,
that their war-cry is Beauty and BootY.1
All that is dear to man-your honor, and that
Of your wives and dsughters-your fortunes
and your lives, are involved in this momen-

In the name, therefore, Of the constituted

behalf Of civilization and humanity itself, 7,
G. 7. Beauregsrd, brigadier general Of the

rity and sinetity Of your domestic fresides,
to rally to the standard Of your State and

compatible With honorable warfare, to drive
