Conspiracy TO Seize Washington.

We observe that the New York Herald
treats gravely the statement Of Col piracy
in Virginia and Marylaud to take armed pos
session OF the city Of Washington. We have
never heard from a single individual in
Virginia one solitary word that ranted
even the slightest suspicion that any sach pur
pose is any more ell tertaued in either State
than the purpose OF Selling the moon and an
nexing IL 10 the United States. We have not
the f.intest idea that any such project exists,
or ever has existed in Virginia. 1t is most as
tonishing 20 us that q people who have so long
aud SO patiently suffered the robbery Of their
property, and whose wounds from the JOHN
BROWN raid have scarcely ceased to bleed,
should be charged with designs so inconsis-
tent with their uniform forbearance, frank
ness and dignity, of character. 1t Is, at any
rate, scarcely probable that Virginia should
contemplate schemes of aggression. when,
with all her military positions strongly gar
risoned by United States troops, she mas not
yet adopted a single measure OF dele nee.
The whole thing is a pretext to Justify 'he
Wide Awake conspiracy TO occupy washing
ton. which is infinitely more probaole imam
the existence Of such scheme III virginia.

British feet OF four vessels, carrying ninety
two guns, attacked Fort Boyer, Il small re-
doubt. This redoubt was garrisoned by only
one hundred and twenty Americans-oincers
tncluded-under the command of Major LAW
RgNCE, and its armament was but twenty
small pieces of cannon, some OF which were
almost entirely useless, and most OF them
poorly mounted, in batteries hastily thrown
MP, and leaving the guns uncovered from The
knee upward. while the enemy's land force,
acting in concert with the ships consisted OF
twenty artillerists with a be- ttery of TWO guns,
and seven hundred and thirty marines, In
dams and negroes. His ships carried five hun
dred and thirty men in all This immense
disparity of numbers and strength did NOT al

British ships, carrying ninety-tWo guns and

The enemy's loss 10 killed aud wounded
was TWO hundred and thIrty-two men. while

one OF which IL is important should be cor

Judge HoPKihs is made to say that the
power of coercing seeding State was asked

ton which framed the Constitution. The
Judge said that this power was asked for, but
opposed by MAptses aud HAMILTON, and We.

U.o.ac,ea Condition OF Ri hmond.

An Intelligent correspondent OF the Rich
mopd Enquiysr calls attention to the fact that
tbare are no defences upon the York River to
nrevent hostile vessel from running up in
TWO hours and landing an invading force
within thirty five miles of Richmond.
Patchwork deiences and redou BITS might be
easily constructed upon all the assailable
points ON our great rivers. The United States
seems to be taking time by the forelock in
throwing troops into Iiarper's Ferry and Fort
Washington. We should at leas. be equally
active in preparing for the worst. There is at
present a large number of unemployed labor
ers who might be usefuily occupied in these
precautionary measures.
