THE WALKER ExPEDIrIoN.-The N. o. Picayune
gives the following statement in regard to the
stituents Of the late unfortunate expedition of
VIM. Walker.
We have been questioned in regard tothe last two
expeditions, fitted out at this port to join Walker
in Honduras. The first, we believe consisted of
about thirtyive men, and sailed from this port the
3lst ult They did not of course, reach the Hondu-
ras coast till some days after Walker and his men
were captured.
The second and last expedition numbered some
fifty men, and sailed from the mouth of the river
Sunday last just as the Star of the West entered
with the news that Walker and his party had been
captured. We are assured, however, that they had
no communication with the steamer, and finally
sailed in utter ignorance of news so important to
them.
Both expeditions, we understand were we'll sup
piled with everything needful at all events, they
will find plenty at Ruatan. They were also in
good staunch vessels, subject to their command
We may therefore expect soon TO see them all back
again safe in our midst, and we add the hope also
with the unfortunate party, which they left to join

R9- 1t is an important fact and worthy to be
kept before the people, that John G. Breckenridge
was nominated by the Richmond Disunion Conven-
ton one hour before he was nominated at Balt-
muncation for three hours, his nomination at Rich
mond-though made informally-was known to
the seeding Convention at Baltimore before it nom
mated him. He is, therefore, not only the disunion
nominee, but was adopted as such by the whole Sc
ceding body.

Bay The JeG9sonian makes considerable blow
about the refusal of Mr. ]. e. Bailey to divide time
with Mr.. Yancey He did not refuse to divide time
with Col. W. A Quarles, and this ought to be proof
enough that he was not actuated by fear of the re-
ult in refusing to divide with Mr.. Yancey. wetake
the responsibility of saying that Mr.. Bailey holds
himself in readiness to divide time with Col. Quarles
or any other prominent man Of the Breckenridge
party, and do not blame him for refusing to do so
promiscuously.

the proposition for fusion between its two wings,

by politicians for the purpose of securing to them
selves the State offices. This is a noble ambition,

VINO 0uGHT TO BE HuNe.--Mr. John Forsyth, in
letter to the Mobile Register, abiding to certain
threats Of dsunion in case Lincoln should be cleo
ted says:
'If in spite Of the loyal efforts of million and
half of northern democrats, who stand fast to the
regular nominees ofthe national democracy against
the Chicago nominees, the latter are elected thro
the deliberate boiling and treachery of the men al
the South who claim to be its champions par erceL
ence, then say the case not only does not justify
rebellion but these champions, as the authors o.
the calamity should be held as traitors first to the
South, in comprising this election, and second as
traitors to the government for "taking advantage
of their own wrongs" they rebel and in botf
cases should deserve to be hung as high as Hannah.

"a friend who is pretty well posted in such mat

have at least two hundred thousand more at stake
on the November election in the State, which is as
good lost add to this the hundred thousand dol

smaller sums expended in the canvass, and we think
