Year: 1864

For weary months the Rebel sympathi-
zers in the loyal States have been contriv-
ing and conspiring to produce collision
between Federal and loyal State authori-
ty. Hence the attempts to serve writs of
habeas corpus in Fort Lafayette, BACKED
by the State Militia: hence the grave de-
cisions of Judges Woodward. McCunn,
&C., that the Draft act was illegal; hence
the proceedings whereby Gen. Dix is ar
RANGED before Abraham D. Russei. Gov.
Seymour is denounced and detested by
the oracles of Fernando Woods " Peace
party as having shown the white feather
in failing to order the arrest of the L. S.
Marshal and other Federal functionaries
concerned in arbitrary arrests" and to
order out the entire Militia of the State
to enforce his mandate. But for Sey-
mour's cowardice, the jeff Davisitcs among
us believe that they would have had New
York out of the Union and in the Con-
federacy before this time. Bitter have
been the dissapointments, fierce is the
smothered wrath, of the more advanced
Coppcrheads in view Of Seymour's recre-
ancy.


But The Da8y Ne5os at last proclaims
the joyful Eurcka! 1t issound? There
is to be the long-desired collision--ii not
here in New York, then certainly in Lou
isville Here the gleeful announcement.


TROUBLE BREWING IN KENTUCKY
News of startling character has reached
this city from Louisville, Kentucky.
From private and trustworthy sources we
learn that a collision between the people
of that city and colored regiment which
had been stationed there was imminent
The officer in command of the negroes
was ordered by the young men of Louis
vile to withdraw his regiment within
twelve hours, and, in the event Of his non
compliance with their demand, they would
be driven out. Our informant states that
he had not heard the result The young
men were amiug with the intention of
carrying their threat into execution, in the
event of the colored regiment not being
withdrawn We also learn from the same
authority that Gen. Boyle and Provost
Marshal Mundy, both of whom had up to
within the last six or seven weeks been
stanch supporters Of the Federal Govern
ment, have been arrested on charge of
using reasonable language. They had.
It appears, resigned their positions upon
being ordered to the front"


We are not advised as to which of
ct the Resolutions of '9S' the young bloods
of Louisville propose to operate under;
but no matter. In war, law is silent; and
as the young Copperhcads of Louisville
are arming,' it would not set them back
any if the Resolves in question afforded
them no more excuse for their Rebellion
than the Constitution does. These gents
will not fight for the Union themselves
they scorn the idea-and they are equally
stern in their determination that the Blacks
shall follow their courageous and patriotic
example. We can only advise them,
while arming to be thorough about it. If
they were to attempt the driving out of
Uncle Sans black regiment and get the
worse end of the fray, they would not
only look crest-fallen, but ridiculous.


As to Gen. Boyle" we consider his
resigning "upon being ordered to the
'front.'" characteristic and appropriate.
Had he seen fit to resign two years ago,
he would have rendered the Union more
service by that act than by his entire Mil
itary career When the service in Ken
tucky shall have been thoroughly purged
of such men, Rebel raids will be less fire.
quent there, and the young Copperhcads
of Louisville will be impressively taught
to mind their eye and let all who fight and
die for the Union.-N. Y. Tribune.
