The CONSPIRACY TO UsURP THE GOVERNMENT
OF THE SOUTH referred to elsewhere m the Star TO-
day, formally, made known to the public through
this mornings hteHigsnesr, 10 doubtless a fixed
fact. The gentleman who Is responsible to the
IHfsEtgsnesT for the statement stands as high in
The estimation Of the country as any other public
man OF the South, and avows his readiness 70
make his assertions good, If any Of the Senator.
implicated dare demand Of him to do so.
The English Of the scheme 10, clearly, to make
for the government Of the South a virtual mill.
tary desPotism, TO be 10 the hands I'm which they
may please to conhde it; permitting the Southern
people to have hardly more to say I'm the future
direction Of their public affairs, than Louis Napo.
leon at present permits the people Of France TO
have to say, in the direction Of French public
erairs.
We fear that there is little doubt that Il I,
for such an object only that these Senators of the
United States, and their outside council here. ar.
plotting to involve the country in the horrors of
long and bloody civil war. Thus, they would
strike down all the liberties enjoyed by the peo.
pie OF the South at single blow, under the pre-
tense Of being engaged In protecting Southern
rights, that they may usurp the Government OF
the South, and rivet the chains of despotic and
irresponsible authority upon the Southern pop-
ular neck.

Saturday last. IL records significant fact: "a
gentleman passed through this city yesterday,
with about sixty negroes, from South Carolina
We remember that in 1882 thousands left that dis
tracted State, and soughta home In the more Quiet
and loyal States Of Alabama and Tennessee. We
expect to see similar condition Of things now.

preciate the blessings L, ey have enjoyed In the

them for an uncertainty

IMPORTANT SPREcHEs.-The speech which Sen
ator Hunter will deliver to-day, we fear will do
much towards hurrying Virginia upon the path
in which the extreme Southern States are now
Fastening cut Of the Union. A very brief time
since, Mr.. Hunter publicly proclaimed that the
election of Lincoln not sufficient cause for the
destruction Of the Union. Our belief is that he
will to-day in the face Of that declaration virtu-
ally justify all that South Carolina Georgia and
Alabama have already done against the integrity
OF the Government nominally on that account /;
thus embarking his own fortunes, and endeavor-
Ing to involve those Of the border slaveh oldiny
States, In the current scheme for the destruction
OF the Union and the establishment Of a military
desPotism over the South, in its stead As much
a we deplore that he should thus fail in nerve to
adhere TO the statesman-like conservatism of his
last published manifesto on the subject, we sim
cereiy believe hat he has, as explained above,
determined to embark on the boat with those who
are striving to destroy the Union for the sake of
It's destruction.
Tomorrow Senator Seward will address the
Senate, and his speech will be the mos: momen-
tous one In its results ever delivered before that
body. Ii IL undeniably true that his positions
carry more popular weight with them than those
OF any other living man in America, and with
the class Of citizens, too, whose present hostility
to conciliatory and peaceful settlement Of the
national troubles Is the chief obstacle to that
so desirable contamination. Besides, he is to ad-
dress the country with the fact that he is to be the
Premier Of the incoming government now known
TO all; and, therefore, whatever he may say on the
affair Of the times will necessarily be received as
the authorized announcement Of that govern
ment.
We believe that he Is about to extend the olive
branch; and pray that such may prove the fac,
If ne does, the Union may yet escape destruction,
and the liberties and prosperity Of the whole
country, and the hopes Of mankind, the world
over, involved in the continuance Of those liber-
ties and that prosperity, may yet be saved. II
not, disunion henceforth reigns triumphant, and
the horrors Of civil war bid fair to be its attend
ants

Plain kentucky Taik .

The Frankfort Commonwealth is one of the
Oldest and most influential papers in Kentucky
1t goes for the Union and crushing the rebel
ion without an if. A late Commonwe alth
talks out thus .a4aa rsaa ,-a
The rebels have two full regiments of ne.
groes in Louisiana They have three or four
regiments of Indians in the field, armed with
tomahawks and scalping knives; in q 'ditio1
to the ordinary weapons of warcfare. They
have battalion of Nashville State Prison
convicts in the field, (the Bull Pups,) co NJ
manded by beast that served ten years in
our pcnitentiary. Cred Billy HG" a0
What do these professed Union men, who
are so shocked about the contingency limited
at by John Cochrane, say to these facts p
They approve them, of course. The Con-
federates can do nothing wrong. If they vio-
late the Constitution, the rules of decency,
and the laws Of civilized warfare, it is ali
right, because they have no Constitution, no
decency and no civilization. But the govern
ment must adhere strictly to the Constitution,
and throw its protecting arm around the trai-
tors who are trying to destroy it. '1.d
Out upon such hypocritical cant, say We. A.
straightout, open and avowcd rebel is infinitely
above such Union men. S"-sasa s4''>

The Battle of IVY Mountain.

We take the following from the editorial
correspondence of the Mount Sterling (Ky.)
Whig: aa a,Na
The fighting continued for twenty minutes
before our men could get sight of the enc
my, and even after they were fully discovered,
not much destruction was produced until Col.
Norton opened fire upon them from the ridge
of the mountain. From this time shot and
she'll was poured into them, without their fire
producing any effect upon our men, until after
an hour and half's fighting they could stand
it no longer, and beat hasty retreat across
Ivy bridge, destroying it after they had cross
ed, and thus preventing immediate pursuit.
From the nature of the ground, our superior
numbers gave us no advantage over them
and with proper generalship and firmess on
their part, our victory might have been more
dearly bought. AS it is, we only lost six Kill!
led, and thirty-one or thirty-two wounded
while the loss Of the enemy was variously es.
timated, in killed, wounded and prisoners
from one hundred and forty to one hundred
and fifty. To our knowledge, their loss in
killed was not less than forty. Among thei
killed was Captain Rust, of Greenup, noble
and gallant fellow, who died like hero, per.
forated with bullets. He fought as long a:
he could load his gun, though there was era.
vcnly desertion all around him. His hope
was that his friends would at least carry him
off the battle ground, and care for him, but
they meanly abandoned this bravest Of them
all to his fate, and put to their heels to seek
their own safety. DR., Parish, of Owingsville
was also killed----at least man who was bu.
RED for him, and before he died was 50 recog.
[nized by our men, The bravery and gallant.
Iry Of our men and officers in battle could moi
have been surpassed The enemy fought bad
as our list Of killed and wounded proves
That we did not kill more of their men was
owing to the peculiar nature Of the ground,
and The fact that they were fighting in ambush
until driven from it, and then they commenc-
ed their retreat. f'''t am

The Rebel Navy.

The New York Herald has intelligenc,
from Havana, that the rebels intend going into
the privateering business in the future far more
extensively than they have hitherto DONE
Their "navy" consists of thirty-six steamers,
sixteen schooners, two briggs, and one vessel
classed as uncertain. In addition they have
twelve large steamers which might easily be
adapted for warlike purposes, and twenty-five
vessels which they are now using for trans
ports. Their force of naval officers embraces
nine captains, twenty-five commanders, twen-
ty-four ieutenants six midshipmen, seven
surgeons, three paymasters, one chief engineer,
one first assistant engineer, two navy agents,
one colonel of marines, one lieutenant colonel
do, one major do, two captains and three
second lieutenants do, making total of 81
officers.
