The Rumored Rebel Conspiracy I'm
Kentucky.


Speaking of the rumor of conspiracy,
embracing several counties and cities of
Kentucky, having for its object the annex
alton Of the State to the rebel Confederacy,
the Louisville Journal of Saturday says
there is doubtless some foundation for the
report, and adds: 81,
All know how intensely and passionately
anxious the many rebels i'm Kentucky are
for the triumph Of the rebellion within her
limits. All know that their whole thoughts,
feelings, hopes, yearnings, and aspirations
are for her annexation, no matter by what
means, to the rebel Confederacy. No doubt
they are to large extent organized, having
district committees, county committees,
and city committees in all directions, COM
mittees sworn to secresy, moving to and fro
in coats of air, and putting everything, so
far as they can, in readiness for a general
insurrection whenever formidable rebel
forces shall make their appearance among
us. Our State has within her bosom spies,
conspirators, and aiders and comforters of
the rebellion. men incomparably more dam
gerous to the Federal Union than the rebels
In the rebel c0nsederacy, and, whenever any
of them, especially any members Of secret
rebel committees, can be identified, the ut
most punishment authorized by law should
be inflicted upon them. Butthe best mode,
the right mode, Of thwarting and bringing
to naught all their plans and Vaccinations
is by effectually withstanding the invading
hosts at or beyond our borders. Let us keep
out the rebel armies Of the South, and our
home rebels will not have the courage to
leave their holes. ,1..t

Hunts Merchants Magazine that well
known, and able exponent Of the principles
and laws Of trade aud finance-has in the
March number an article, IN which it Is
shown conclusively that the apparent pros
perity of the North is not real--that the
| Impression that the people are prospering
tends to prolong the war-that apparent
prosperity generally precedes dlsaster-that
real prosperity consists In the productive
employment of labor--that fighting is not
productive employment, but the contrary
that government consumption, unless upon
internal improvements, Is destructive OF
capital, and that government loan is not
call for money, but for commodities to
destroy. Nas7 a4s st9i ~
The same article demonstrates that our
national debts an almost complete annihi-
lation of capital, nearly its whole amount
having been withdrawn from productive
employment; and that it stands to-day
mortgage upon the prosperity Of the peo-
pie, the interest ON which must be met by
taxes paid by the people. 1t is also shown
that If the hundreds of millions of capital
destroyed and debt created by thiswaE had
been spent in improving rivers and harbors,
the construction ofrailroads, the widening
Of canals, the advancement Of learning and
fhe encouragement ofsciencerall of which
would have been productive expenditure
Of capital; then, indeed, would we have
been able to rejoice in, our prosperityas
people, and in the brilliant position we
should have attained among the nations Of
the earth.
The writer proves that our national debt
contracted through, or by means Of a paper
curreney,is without adequate. value, We
are borrowing commodities at high paper
value, and promising to pay for them in
specie. The deprecated currency has not
only increased the Government debt and
the taxes upon the people, but 1t has been
severely felt by the, prudent, industrious,
and economical portions Of the community
There are thousands of our citizens who
are ercally sufferers by the deprecated cur
rency, and yet are entirely ignorant of the
fact, and, in consideration of large profits,
spend their earnings and live extrayagant-
ly; but when the day comes, as come it
must, when these enhanced paper prices
will vanish as the bubble breaks, then they
will have glimpse of their real condition
in the general financial wreck and ruin that
will ensue. F.t
