THREATENED INVASION OF KENTUCKY.
Louisville, March 19. —The Journal of this
morning, in an editorial, makes the following re
marks concerning a conspiracy in Kentucky to
lake the State over to. the Confederate Gov
ernment:—We doubt hot that there is some
foundation for this rumor, and we base our
opinion on the fact that many of the Bebel troops
Which have been taken are intensely and passion
ately anxiousfor a triumph of the rebellion within
her limits. We advise,however, that the po9itionof
the invading host, at or beyond our borders, be
understood as the best reason for keeping quiet the
sympathizers within the State.**
FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
New York, March 20.—The Herald 1 s West Vir
ginia despatch says that on the 19th all was quiet
m the Shenandoah Valley. There is no movement
of the enemy of a serious character. The latest
information from the Kanawha Valley does not
confirm thg rumor that the enemy’s force was
moving on Barboursvilie. There are ho positive
indications that the enemy contemplates an ex
tensive raid in the Kanawha region. Sill it is re
ported that they are preparing in the vicinity of
liew River for an unknown movement.

within & mile and a half of the town. At the
same time the rebels attacked our cava'ry outposts
onthe right, under Coloner Klien, of the 3d Indi

ing Colonel Klien had a sharp fight with a rebel
cavalry force, Raskin’s Legion, about four thou
sand strong. He whipped them handsomely, kill
ing three, wounding five and capturing nine. No
loss on our side. Pushing the enemy beyond Lick
Creek, he captured two more prisoners, and the
camp equipage of the command, which was left so
hastily that our men secured the meat the rebels
were.cooking at the time. One division of the
Rebel Infantry has moved forward to Bull's Gap,
and theremaining three are on the railroad. Tne

THE NAVAL COMMITTEE AT LEAGUE
ISLAND,
The Naval Committee ot the U. S. House of
Representatives arrived in this city ou Friday
night, and visited League Island on Saturday,
accompanied by a Committee of the Corn Exchange
Association. They examined the Llaud, goiug
over all its principal points. The boring* in pro
gress received especial attention. They demon
strated clearly the stable, solid foundation upon
which the island rests. At .he distance of twelve
feet a stratum of sand and gravel is reached, which
is firm and con pact. Then successive lasers of
sand, clay and gravel are reached, each one be
coming more compact and impenetrable until at
the depth of twenty-five feet a hard gravel bed is
reached, impenetrable to a siee augur. This fur
nishes a splendid foundation for pile-driving, or
for any other building purposes.
3 be party having examined carefally tbe whole
bank, entered a little steamer, the Wm. H. Sew
ard, which had been provided for the occasion,
and passed down the river along the bauk of the
island. The detences by which League Island
could be made safe against any foe were inspected,
FortMifilin receiving special inspection. Satis
fled with the facilities for defensive warfare pre
sented below League Island, the Committee then
slowly steamed up along the river front, reviewing
the city, and passed up to Port Richmond. They
then returned to the Navy "Yard to see the strip of
land at the south side oi the Yard, for the purchase
of which a law has been passed and an appropria
tion asked. The carriages were then resumed,and
about six o'clock the entire party returned to the
hotel. Tbe expression oi sentiment regarding the
qualificationsol League Island, aud its eligibility
lor the site of tbe new Naval Depot, was decidediy
favorable, and cannot but eventuate in good results.
Oil Saturday evening tbe Committee of the Corn
Exchange prepared an entertainment for the guests
at the Continental.

HON. EDWARD EVERETT ON THE UNITED
STATES NAVY.
Tn a speech mode last week in Boston, at a dinner
gvren to the Committee on Naval Affairs of the U.
S. House 01 Representatives, Hon. Edward Ever,
eit. after referring to naval experiences of ancient
times, said:
But why cite ancient or foreign examples? In
the infancy of our little navy, under the guidance
oi the veteran Preble,it broke the power of one of
the Regencies, and led the way to the
.abolition of the shameful trihate, by which-the
great states of Christendom had so long purchased
peace lrom those contemptible pirates. 1 saw him
on the quarter deck' of |the; Constitution, the day
before she sailea (1 a lad of nme years) aud never
dd my eye rest on a nobler figure of a man An
expresfion-.of mingled gentleness, dignity, and
courage sat upon his brow, which produced, even
an impression on the mind of a child,
which after sixty years, is as freßh as yesterday.
In the waroflffliir our navy, still m its infancy,
with its half dozen *»fir frigates,” as taey were
scornfully termed by the British minister, (they
happened to be built of the best of seasoned live
oak) boldly entered the lists with the mistress oi
the seas, and bore away the palm irom many a
gallant encounter. Hull, Bambridge, Decatur,
Rogers, Downes, McDonough, Perry Stewart,
what naval service is adorned with brighter
names? [Great Applause.] From this time for
/ward Amer .ca takes ner stand, as one of the great
naval powers of eaith.
The outbreak of the rebellion, however, found
our navy on a peace establishment far below the
wants of the country e\en in time of peace,—
many of the vessels old and useet-s* —nearly all
sailing ships—few war steamers,—no iron clads
the force greatly 6catt-red —207 seamen on’y iu all
the navy yards of the Unrted State', to protect the
Government property—and ordnance *nd ord
nance stores in sad proportion to the number and
quality of the vessels. With these wretchedly
inadequate means, an Herculean task was to be
perform ed. Active naval co-operation was to be
afforded to the army, wherever the localities per
mitted; strong fortresses were to be battered
down ; the Mississippi opened and kept open, and
a sea-coast of vast extent held in strict blockade.
The line of %ast extent he*d in strict blockade,
measurements of the Coa t Survey, is 3,549 Btatute
miles; the number of ports and harbors to be
wa cbed, IS9, with much of the coast double’
3615 miles on the Mississippi and its tributaries
and mo miles of sound, inlet, bay and river in
the Atlantic States were to be guarded by our gun.
boats. This was the work to r»e done,—this is the
work that has been done. [Applause.] The force
afloat hat* risen from 42 vessels in commission in
March 1661, tc 566 vesm-ls; the number of seamen
from 7,600 to 34, > 00; while the Ordnance has oeeu
augmented from less than 3,000 pieces of all pat
terns, mapy of them auliquated aud iu the present
state of warfare useless, to nearly twice that num
ber, mostly of the recent improved constructions,
many of portentous calibre and rcnge. Dv-rv
ship-y.rd, public and private, has been tasked to
its utmost capacity; every furnace in the country
has been kept at white heat night aud day, and au
amount of woik ha* bedn performed, on the coast
and rivers.and a senes [of re; ults achieved withoat
a parallel, as I when the disadvantages
are cohaidered under which the navy labored at
the commencement, ini nava» history. Let Nor.
folk, Hatteras, Roanoke Island. Port Royal, Pen
sacola, the Rio Grtnde, Fort Henry and Fort
Donelson, Island No. 10, Memphis, -Vicksburg,
Port Hudson, the shattered fragments of Sumter,
>ort Jackson and Fort St Philip, the City of New
Orleans; the Atlanta demolished bv five shot
from the Weebawken; 1645 vessels captured from
the enemy up to the Ist of November, and from 70
to 66 since added; the closure of every port save
one, and that guarded by 20 vessels, on this im
mense line of the coast, bear witness to the activity
. and efficiency of this arm of the service. I need
not of course disclaim any thought of undervaluing
what hm- been done by our noble armies and their
gallant commanders, who have borne their full
share in many of these achievements, but lam
sure that they, one au all, will do justice to the
efficient co-operation of the navy.
And then that marvelous creaiou of the genius
and skill of Ericsson, th~ wonder of the age, the
turreted monitor. If there is an iucideut in the
history of the war, which more than auy another
deserves to be referred to a direct interposition of
an overruling Providence, it is the arrival of the
heaven-directed Jittle vessel at Fortress Monroe,
after her rough, uncomfortable voyage from New
York, on the evening of the Sth of March, lefiS, at
the close of a day of havoc, I had almost said of
terror. Themiud recoils from the contemplation
of the state of things which would have existed,
had the ravages of the Merrimnc been renewed on
the morning of the 9th. Bat the avenger was at
hand: after an all but sleepless voyage f.om New
York of 56 hours, in a vessel whose construction,
—whose strange enginery,—whose armament,—
whose capacity for offensive or defensive service
were all untried, the gallant Worden, at sanrise
the next morning, bore calmly down to the en
counter with bis gigantic adversary, amidst the
wreck's of his yesterday’s devastations, (the top
masts of the sunken Cumberland peering mourn,
fully above the waters, the Congress burned to the
water's edge, the Minnesota, marked oat as the
next victim, helplessly aground,) went round and
round him, to use the graphic language of an eye
witness, “ as a cooper goes round a cask,” and
drove him crippled and discomfitted back to his
harbor, never more' to leave it till he went up
self-destroyed in fragments to the sky. [Great
Applause. J When the Doble young commander oi
the Monitor dropped upon the floor of his pilot
he use, stunned, lacerated, blackened, and bleed
ing, with scarce a vestige ol humanity in his
nanly countenance, he had inaugurated a new
era in naval warfare ! When the iron-clads aud
Monitors now in course of construction arc com
pleted, we shall have, upon our coasts and in our
harbors, a defensive force which will relieve us
from all possibility of foreign aggression.
But this torpid, inefficient lossil navy don't
catch the Alabama, No. nor did torpid, inefficient
lazy Nelson, in command of the fleet with which
he fought the battle of the Nile, catch Napoleon
with a force in slips of war and trans
port of more than 460 vessels shadowing
tte sea for miles, though he chased him, or rather
thoughtht; chased him. round the Mediteranoan,
from the I9tb of May till the Ist of August, as the
cat chases her fail, Napo eou stopping by way of
episode to capture Malta on the way, and on
the 22d.0f June actually crossing the track of
Nelson a few hours before. Neither was he caught
by tbe English, Russian, and Turkish fleets,—tne
English still commanded by Nelson, —when the
followii g year he returned by a voyage of six or
seven weeks from Egypt to France, passing a
week with his relations at Ajaccio by the'way.
Neither was be caught in 1815 on his passage from
Elba, though the English knew he was plotting
his escape and a French cruiser hailed him on the
way, and hearing his corvette was from Elba,
inquired how the Emperor was, who answered in
pei son that he 4 4 was periectly well. ’ * The Med.
lterranean is but a mi’l-pond compared with the
seas over which the Alabama roams, and when
ever the pirate is hard pressed he slips into a
neutral port. [Applause ] It of course must be
by mere.chance if beds ever captured.
"The lact mentioned by you Sir, (Mr Rice,) in a
very judicious speech to the House of Representa
tives the other day, strikingly illustrates the diffi
culty of finding any single vessel atsea,even when
‘ there is the slightest wish or motive to elude
search. You stated, if I recollect rightly, th*-t
you had been iniorraed by a shipmaster, that he
had left port with more than 41K) vessels which had
been wiud bound, and were now starting oa their
different voyages, and before night* 101 l there was
not one of them in sight.
But, gentleman, lam consuming your time un
reasonably. We all rejoice to believe that the
interests of the navy are in the bands of an intel
ligent and efficient committee. The immediate
errand of j our visit is understood to be to examine
sites lor & new establishment, adapted to the con
struction and repair of iron-clad and steam vessels
of war. It is, I believe, a pressing want of the
service. A revolution has taken place in naval
warfare aud new arrangements, establishments
and appliances are required to meet it. I regret
that it has not been in your power, for want of
time, ‘o extend your vißits to Newport, where you
would have found in the Naval Academy, 1 speak
from personal observation as a member of the last
board of visitors, an institution which deserves all
the favor of the government. I was assured by
the Prince de Joinville, in a letter written by him
last summer, that his high expectations weremor©
than fulfilled, in the education whicn his son had
received in the United States Naval Academy. A
very intelligent gentleman, a Captain in the Royal
Navy, to whom I*gave a letter of introduction, the
week befoce the last, to my friend Captain Fair
fax, the Commandant of Midshipmen at
told m, eon his return to Boston,that he had found
