Matters. I.s..
Tho Central Committee Of Safety, at its
regular meeting yesterday, appropriated
small sums, varying from $40 10 $50, 10 the
different companies of Home Guards to de.
frey incidental expenses. It Is the inten-
ton of the committee 10 devote all its ener-
gies to the work of preventing the shipment
of contraband goods Southwark, several par
ties having heretofore evaded its vigilance.
sULPHURIo ACID ooNTRABAND.
The invention Of the telegraph has rem
dered il necessary to include sulphuric
acid-without which that instrument would
be useless-amoog contrsbsnd articles. The
South seems to have been aware Of this, and
in order to procure supply, one hundred
carboys full were ordered by a Louisville
firm, TO be shipped on the mail-boat yester-
day; but when the affair became known,
eighty carboys of the acid were seized, the
boat carrying away twenty.
sALTPETER AND SULPHUR.
1t is important that all shipments to the
South Of saltpeter and sulphur should be
prohibited. They are the chief Ingredients
used in the manufacture Of gunpowder, and
are consequently contraband. Shipments of
saltpeter in small sacks, and marked Hsalt,"
have been frequent of late.

KNIeHTs OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE.
Dispatches and letters from Garrett Davis
and other responsible parties in Central
Kentucky have been received here stating
that they have information that the Knights
OF the Golden Circle intend to make DEM
onstration against the Newport Barracks,
with view of forcing Kentucky out of the
Union. In order to prevent surprise, double
guards have been kept up at the garrison,
and the citizens of Newport, to the number
of four hundred, have agreed to keep watch
in turn, twenty persons remaining on duty
each night. Some believe this to be ruse
to induce Ohioans to march over to protect
the barracks, when the cry of invasion will
be raised, which, it is hoped, will favor Sc
cession.

Ward Reserve Militia, the following persons
were appointed to collect funds for the Com
