The Late Arrest in kentucky.

The Louisville Press has the following
expose of the rebels in Louisville, and
vicinity, which will be read with interest
Il will be seen that G. w. G. Payne, of
Nashville, is in the list Of arrested:
A foul brood which has been hatched
in the ruins of the nest Of the Golden
Circle" has recently appeared in raven
plumage, chanting its music in notes
bora at Marathon and rejuvenated at
Bunker Hill. The foul brood is the
product of an adulterous Union Of tha
Western conspiratoFs, and is scattered
mainly through Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri and Kentucky We shall not
pause TO detail the machinery of this
new treason. Its character hassbaen

Missouri and Indiana, and We shall con
fine what we have 10 say. TO the devel-
opmeut in Kentucky. The whole affair
has been vigilantly watched in this State.
its leaders have been spotted" by the
military authorities of Kentucky, and
their.. ..doings and speeches have been care
sIlly husbanded 70 for the day Of reck-
oning. Some of the parties who have
felt recently the grasp Of the military
hand, have been carefully watched in
their incomings and ou'goings, in their
pautomime Of treason that mutely sawed
the air, with fearful of peopling the at
mosphere with thousands Of their wicked
purposes, and in their cipher tablets
that veiled the dark, horrible, murder
Gus intents that never were surpassed in
villainy outside of Pandemouium. In
the most secret recesses Of this treason,
in its most uneasy, restless, haggard Hit
ting from point to point, as well as in the
occasional resting of its hellish pinions
for a renewal of its mission Of devasta-
ton and havoc, the unsleeping eye of
loyalty has been keenly bent upon its
every movement and every pause. At
every gathering Of these unclean beast of
rebeldom, no matter how heavy shrouded
were the pavilions of darkness in which
they congregated, the undying vigilance
of loyalty followed them with unswerv-
ing fidelity. Ifit were at all necessary,
we could easily tell this murderous crew
where they met, who presided over their
works of villainy, where they where in
itiated into the horrible mysteries Of the
third degree Of the reasonable order, al
what moment, in fact, they passed, by Of
horrid plunge, from the well secured
privileges of citizenship, into fellowship
with the busy devils who have vexed
mankind from their first interview with
the parents of mankind, down to the
present moment This is not necessar,
now. In its proper season this record
will be given to the world.
The people Of Kentucky and all the
loyal spirits Of the land owe a profound
debt of gratitude to the military
aut horities who have engineered the
watching and blasting Of this new phase
of treason. They calmly and quietly
watched this Graded iniquity until j
