KENTUCKY ArFArRs.-Every day increases the
interest in the news from Kentucky. The fol-
lowing items we extract from the Louisville
Courier of the 2lst and 22d instant:
The Confederate Congress has laid similar
embargo on the export OF tobacco to that on
cotton, which, it will be recollected, prohibited
its deportation except from the Confederate
seapors.
prince Napoleon and suite have engaged
apartments at the Gait House, and are expect.
ed to reach this city to-day or tom PROV. They
will visit the Mammoth Cave while in Ken
lucky.
"A country wagon was Overhauled and eX.
amined in the vicinity OF the city yesterday by
the agents Of the United States collector. The
vehicle had the appearance OF chicken wag-
were well filled with swords, army cloth, and
other contraband articles in transit to the South
ern Confederacy. The goods were stored at
the custom-house.
The Cincinnati mail-boat, Major Anderson
which reached the Louisville wharf some time
last night had on board the Lincoln guns, mus
kets and munitions that the patriotic people OF
Harrison county turned back They were land
ed on the wharf and the Lincoln police de-
tailed TO watch them. The shipment consisted
of about 5000 muskets, no 600 ball cartridges
3 boxes of canister shot for IL Founders, be.
sides clothing, candles, and provisions. These
munitions are, We believe, en- route for Lex
ington.

COTTON. .

On the I'd of August, at Liverpool, the cotton
ON hand amounted to ,Ol9, 900 bales, and the |
quantity known to be at sea for Liverpool, but |
not yet arrived, was, Of American 5000 bales, |
and of Surat East Iudiau) 275,976 bales. |
There was, doubtless, small quantity at sea
from other places, making altogether, in hand
and on the way, stock Of fully thirteen hun
dred thousand bales.
For the seven months from January l, to
August 2, the exports from Liverpool, and the
hcme sales for consumption, compared with the
same period Of last year, had been as follows:
1860. 1851.
Exports, bales. ......... sos.4se se7,si4
Sales for consumption. | ,464GOO l,+6S,900
1t is known that the consumption Of cotton
by the English manufacturers has Diminished
this year as compared with last In March 1t
was stated at 5000 bales weekly, as compared
with $4,000 bales weekly last year, aud more
recently, we have noticed the statement that
the diminution Of consumption this year, is
seven thousand bales weekly. But as the sales
for consumption, that is to say, to the manu-.
tacturers, have rather increased it results that
they have now an unusually supply in advance.
And this is confirmed in other ways. We no
tice in one of the recent cotton circulars from
Liverpool. that the manufacturers had increased
their stock during the month Of July, 100000
bales, in anticipation of an advance Of prices
The London Economist august 81 said
The spinners, as rule, are unusually we'll
stocked with the raw msterial-many people
say as far forward as October"
The same providence, in being ~eh stocked
against an apprehended scarcity, is the proba-
blc explanation OF the increased purchases in
the Liverpool market, of the manufacturers Of
cotton upon the continent OF Europe. The
causes which have produced diminished con
sumption of cotton in England. have beeI
equally operative upon the continent, and
the continental manufacturers have bought
more, it is not because they have used more
but because they have taken unusual measure
to keep themselves in stock for the future.
We observe that some very reputable writer
reckoning only upon the stock actually In han
at Liverpool, conclude that it will be exhaust
cd in December, wholly emitting to motto
either the quantity known to be at sea, or tn
quantity certain to be received within the mex
seven months, although not yet shipped. Tbi
last quantity Chiefly from India) must be con
siderable, not less than 3 or 4OO,O 900 bales.
The difference between getting out Of stocl
in December, and getting out of stock In March
is u prodigious difference for the Englishmen.
Gen. Fremont will open Memphis with it
100000 bales, long before December, and W
will have the stars and stripes flying at Mobil
aud New Orleans long before March. But
takes time to transport cotton from the plant
lions to the ports, and from the ports across Il
Atlantic. Luckily, there is time enough, an
tho Englishmen need not be alarmed, as, indee,
they are not alarmed.

AN ATTACK UPON WASHINGTON.

The correspondent of the New Orleans Picd-
y'nc, writing from Manassas on the 10th instant.
says:
There is not single act OF the Confederate
States that could be so construed as to Justify
any reasonable man in coming to the conclu-
sion that the South intended to take Washing.
ton. We have nsver claimed more than is en-
braced in the boundaries of the seeded States
That is the whole extent of our claim. Wash.
ington is situated in that part of the District OF
Columbia transferred by Maryland, and just as
long as Maryland remains with the North. just
so Long we will refrain from any attack"
The pretence that the Confederates have been
restrained from attacking Washington, by any
thing but their cowardice, or their lack of
means, and especially that they have been re-
strained by the fact that Maryland has not Sc
ceded from the Union is put forward at very
unlucky time. Gems Pillow and Mccullough
are AZ this moment upon the soil OF Missouri
which has never seeded from the Union and
which can never be persuaded by any peace
able means TO secede And this invasion is made
under the direct authority of the Confederate
authorities at Richmond, the Congress there
having made a special appropriation of mil,
lion of dollars, to supply the invaders with
arms and munitions. If they have respected
the soil oil Maryland, it is only becanse it bris
ties with National bayonets.
The capture Of Washington has been the
darling dream OF the rebels, the theme of their
newspapers, and the most potent OF their popu-
lar rallying cries. Their late Secretary of
State, Mr. Walker, fixed the exact day upon
which it was to be accomplished. So did Sen
ator Wigtall. And 80 have innumerable lesser
lights OF the secession cabal.
In one sense only can it be truly said that
the rebels have never done anything which
would justify anybody in believing that they
would attack Washington. They have never
attacked anything which was tolerably defen.
sibe aud we confess that it is the observation
of that fact, which has made us all along so
utterly incredulous as to an attack upon this
city. They did not attack Fort Sumter. until
they had, by months Of preparation, made its
capture perfectly sure and perfectly safe for
themselves. They have not attacked Fort Pick
ems to this day, although they have been before
1t, generally in large force, since the 18th oI
January. They have not attacked Newport
News, Cairo, or indeed, any point where s"ri
Gus resistance was TO be upprehended.

Federal Hill to be fortified, the work to be

NH. BREcKuNRIDGE At LEXINGTON

WIN. bNEShINHlDGE Al LEAlN4IoN'
The following from the New York Herald Of
Sunday, puts new face on the affair at Lex
ington, in which Mr.. Breckenridge was at first
made to figure in the character of peace
maker: ID
"a teegraphie report OF the threatened eme,de
at Lexington, Kentucky, given upon the au
thority Of the Louisville Courier, secession
organ, gives to John G. Breckenridge the credit
of having prevented a colliston between the
Union men and disunioniss there, upon the al
rival of the arms intended for the Union vol
uuteers. From gentlemen just arrived here,
who were witnesses Of the whole proceeding, it
is. learned that Mr.. Breckinridge was the insti-
gator Of riot, and not the pacifcator. Itappears
4 that the arms had originally been forwarded
from Cincinnati direct to Lexington, uid the
Covington aud Lexington railroad, but on
account of the threats Of the secessionists were
sent back to Cincinnati, aud subsequently, for
warded by way Of Louisville. A Union force
of 200 cavalry and 500 infantry were sent in Il
| protect them. The cavalry alone entered Lex
ington. Upon their arrival, John G. Breckin-
ridge came out Of the principal hotel, ant
exclaimed, in an excited manner, What ar,
these damned scoundrels doing In town? If
had fifty men to back me. would drive then
out In twenty minutes Offers Of that numbc
of men, and more, were Immediately made
The signal was given for the assembly Of tn
State (rebel) )tiuard, and Immediately afterward
the Home Union Guard was summoned Bot
were under arms, and collision was prevente
only by the most energetic efforts Of a numbe
, OF prominent citizens. Upon Mr.. Breckinridg
alone rests the blame Of oil the excitement
nearly resulting in the Inauguration Of civ
: war in the heart OF Kentucky, and the credit {
! arresting the riot is due exclusively to others

A NEW MAYoR-It will be seen from ouI
record OF the doings OF the city Boards, that
Richard Wallacb, Esq, has been elected Mayor
Uice Mr. Berret. 1t is generally believed, that
Mr.. Wallach was really chosen by the people
at the last election. He has never been able
to get judicial decision upon the case, and |,

Affairs in Western Virginia.

From the Wheeling Inte'hgencer of August
22d and 23d We extract the following
A gentleman who arrived yesterday from
Roane county, brings intelligence OF another
fight between the Union men aud secessionists,
at Spencer, the county seat. The Union men
again took refuge in the Court House, and
maintained their position, the rebels again
abandoning the idea of capturing or killing
them, as an undertaking Of little too danger
ous character. Two of the secesh were
killed. The Union men OF Elizabeth, another
little town in Roaue county, are also besieged.
and are defending themselves bravely in the
hope of speedy relief These little bands OF
patriots are battling against odds with an ener-
gy and bravery which will confer upon them
everlasting honor.
Accounts from Weston. Va, represent that
that section has been in u feverish state of eX.
citement for several days. Messengers have
been arriving at brief periods, reporting the
appearance of detachments Of rebel Infantry
and cavalry at various points along the wagon
roads leading to our forces on the Kanawha,
coming even within twenty three miles Of Wes
ton. No train goes out without a guard. On
Wednesday, Capt. Sprague. of the Ohio seventh
was on his way home, on furlough, with a
guard Of four dragons when some fifteen
miles beyond Sutton. they were fired upon by a
party Of rebel cavalry, and one Of the guard
John Debolt from Fayette county, Pa, was
killed. Another, Henry Brooks, was wounded
The attacking party was too strong in force tc
be resisted, and Capt. Spragac with two other!
were captured. One man escaped and brough
the intelligence. The body of the wounded
man was afterwards discovered entirely strip
ped and left, like offal, by the wayside. Capt
/ Sprague commanded Company Z, Of th'
seventh and is we'll known throughout North
ern Ohio. The cavalry company who tool
prisoner Capt. Sprague are said to belong t.
ex.Gov Wises command and the fact tha
they have committed depredations within 6
| short distance of our forces, and that other
parties are marauding through the woods be
tween Weston and Gauley indicates that this
section Of the State is to be the theatre Of ar
annoying and destructive guerrilla warfare il
which no mans life will be safe.
