KENTUCKY VS.. ONO.
WASHINGTON, Jan. II.
A despatch from Mr.. Kcitt to tho seces-
sionists here, gives the details of the firing
on the Star Of the West. He says that
four balls struck the Stars hull A portion
Of the despatch was confidential TO South
ern Senators, but it is understood that it
urges them to remain in their seats to de-
feat otjectional legislation and the confir.
nation Of Mcintyre as collector Of the nor,
Of Charleston. Senator WiyEall publicly
declares that the Star Of the West will not
be able to enter Charleston until every gun
at Fort Moultric is dismounted.
Reliable authority says that tho Star
will Ike again sent to Charleston, unless the
President changes his mind, and with
ample naval forces TO engage the several
batteries while she runs in and lands hcl
men in cargo. 1t is intimated in official
circles that tic steam revenue cutter Har-
riet Lane and tho frigate brooklyn will both
accompany the Star Of the West on her next
effort.
Senator Pcarco has yielded to outside
lprcssure, and united in request for con-
|vcning the Legislature Of Maryland. Gov.
Hicks still resists. The disunion movement
in Baltimore is headed by custom house
officers, who are the special friends of Mr..
Thomas secretary of the treasury.
Much remark is excited by tho transfer Of
$500, OCO in specie from the sub treasury in
New York 10 this city, without any sui.
f'cient reason being assigned. This unusual
proceeding is not understood in financial
circles, and the pretended explanations are
by no means satisfactory.
Last night Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Double
DAY, wives Of officers in Fort Sumptcr, ar
rived by the southern boat. 1t is stated
. mat the Charleston people refused to harbor
them in that city.
! 1t is generally credited that General Dix
will DO appointed Secretary Of the Interior,
J II, indeed his appointment be not already
made. Tho President is not disposed to
select any southern men.
1t is we'll understood that Senator CLAY
does not intend TO call q meeting of the
COMMITTEE on Commerce, 20 consider the
appointment Of Mr.. Mcintyre, as Collector
Of Charleston.
The Senate Territorial Committee have
authorized Senator Green to report bill
organizing the Territory OF Pixies Peak.
Senator Green has submitted the bill to
Senator Seward, for the purpose of getting
his approval. There are two amendments
to this bill which have not heretofore been
!, incorporated in territorial bills. One is
guaranteeing the rights Of private property,
the other prohibiting the Territorial Lesis
ture from interfering with or Lcgislating
! against private property. These amend.
!, ments are supposed to be Objectionable to
tho Republicans, and hence the bill has been
submitted to Mr.. Seward.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 10.
We have the following particulars of the
. firing on the Star Of the West in tho Cour-
r Ter Of this morning. In entering the harbor
the Star OF tho West rounded the point, took
the ship channel inside the bar and proceeded
straight forward, until opposite Morris
Island, about thrce-quarters Of mile from
the battery. A ball was then fired athwart
the bows Of the steamer. The Star Of the
] West displayed the Stars and Strips, and as
soon as the flag was unfurlcd the fortitica.
lions fired succession Of Shots
,ISThc vessel continued on her course with
increased speed, but two shots taking effect
on her, she concluded to retire. Fort Moul.
trie fired a few heavy shots at her but she
was out Of their range. The damage to the
Star Of the West was trifing, as only two
out of seventeen shots took effect upon her
Fort Sumpter made no demonstration, ex-
Iccpt at port hole, where guns were run
out bearing on Morris Island.
