Life OF Breckenridge.

The object of our story was born on the
day Of his birth, ON the Cincinnati Plat
fui m, and is chiefly noted for his eloquent
silence on all public occasions. Being Of
II fiery disposition, the Brcckinridge coal
was appropriately named after him; and it
is 81 question with us whether he is the
more noted as 81 duclist or fl"list. We
Car say little more of him than that he
WAS horn.Of Southern, but honest parents
and has acquired some fame as nm nrtiller-
ist, by his management of the celebrated
Buchanan, which will be discharged on
the lth day of March next. Mr. Breckn-
ridge is rather sharp in conversation, MS
is proved by the following
ANECDOTES:

residence lisa green Sward Oh which is To-
Gated pen fOrhogs. One day while he WAS
standing by this pen {tlion clnpty) with a
friend, watching the motions Of hog
that was luxuriously roofing the swnrd
just before them, one of the negroes came
from the house and filed the trough of
the pig pen with swill. The hog heard
the yGsh of the swill, and looked wisttully
toward the pen and then back at tho place
where lie had been roofing, as thongh nm
deci3ed what to do about it. Finally,
however, the swill prevailed, and, with a
decisive grunt, he tGpttcd towards the pen.
Turning to his friend, Mr.. Breckenridge
said:
If that hog could speak, what line OF
Bulwcr's drama OF '.Richelicu,' might he
appropriately quote?
The friend didn't know.
Why, exclaimed Breckenridge, he might
trul. say:
The pen is mishtier thun the swerd!
That night the friend died of measles.

The Georgia Legislature.

MuLEDGEvILLE Ga, Friday Nov. 9, 1860
Resolutions that the election of Senator be moved
To Monday, 18th, and other days were proposed.
Mr. Harris of Worth favored the earliest time IA Il
was well known who Georgia preferred, and when
elected he would instantly resign if the interests Of
Georgia and the South required it.
Mr.. Oliver of Heard favored the earliest day, object
ing to keeping candidates here at an expense.
Mr.. Jones of Newtoun urged the greatest delay. He
regarded the present ame for deberatiOn and they
needed all the light that could be obtained before
action. A few weeks might develop important matters
which ought to be known before election.
Mr.. Spaldng of Mcintosh favored the postponement
two weeks. He didn't believe in indorsing 30 early
Lincolns election There were measures more i'm
portant to the Convention Retaliatory legislation
claimed precedence over election Of q Senator.

Conference. The London Times thinks 1t was
occasioned by the fact that tho Emperors came
,ooetber ON such terms that it was undesirable
70 hold a protracted session. The Austrian
Italian policy is published, but contains no now
features. An engagement had taken place be-
tween the troops of the King of Naples and the
Piedmontese, between Tesano and Sessa.
The NeapOltans, leaving many prisoners on the
field, fell back on Garigliano. Victor Emanuel
had arrived at Sessa, where he was met BY Carl
baldi, and they set about preparing for grand
battle with the enemy. The result of the voting
on the question of annexation, in all but one
province, summed up l,l02,499 Yeas against
9,61 Nays. Breadstuffs in good demand and
COnsOls, 92sa93 for money and 93l093i for

Mr.. Seward OF Thomas favored the postponeme.s
He was opposed to doing anything early to indicate
that Georgia ntende@ to submit 10 Encolns election
Mr.. Harris Of worth inquired whether Hr. Seward
favored secession IL Georyia decided in Conysntioa
lie thought Georgia would not be sustained by Other
Southern States by thus indicating her willingness 10
submit to Lncolns election He considered the safety
Of the South was to act AZ a unit.
Mr.. Lawton Of Chatham favored the utmost delay az
the election Of Senator There was no uecessity N
speedy action, Georgia would be represented IN the
Senate till the ith Of March He agreed with M,
Seward that 20 speedy an indication to submit :,
the election of Lincoln would place Georgia in anae
onism with her sister Siates, az the news would be
speedily sent over the country that Georgia soouieed
in the election of Lincoln.
Mr.. Spaulding moved that the resolution lie On the
table at present. Adopted.
A bill was introduced heavily taxing manufactured
articles from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New.yo,t
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and other s;at,

Tie Herald calls for a meeting of merchants
TO persuade South Carolina and Georgia to stay
in the Union. We fear that such meeting
would have little effect. The suspicion that
the merchants were only anxious to be paid for
wares already sold, or DESTROYS to make new
sales, would injure the force of oil their pro-
testations and assurances. There might, how
ever. be some use in manifesto from prom
inent statesmen and politicians of the late Dem
ocratic and Fusion parties. Let these unite IN
a solemn declaration, telling the planters OF the
Cotton States that they are mistaken in their
ideas of the policy and purposes of the Repub-
lican party, that it will no doubt be strictly gov
erned by the Constitution, and that there is not
the slightest reason for supposing that it intends
to interfere with any of the rights of the States,
and something may be done to quiet the agta-
ton which prevails in the South. 1t is true that
such declaration might not altogether accord
with the language of these gentlemen before the
election, but under the present circumstances,
can they refuse so small sacrifice to the cause
Of truth and of their country

WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1860.
THE GEORGIA DEMOCRACY AND HOWELL COBB.
Private news of a most Trustworthy character
from Georgia states that majority of the Dem
Ocratic members of the Georgia Legislature are
against the election of Howell Cobb to the United
States Senate.
THE PRESIDENT AND DISUNION.
The President is respondent concerning dis
union affairs, but processes that he will do his
entire duty.
PATRIOTISM OF THE CHoCTAws.
COL Pitchelin, ambassador from the Choctaw
Nation stated yesterday that if the European
race Was going to leave the Union, he and his
nation would declare themselves independent.
and remain in the Union.
CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON FOR UNION.
No permanent resident, especially no property
holder in this city desires disunon. They all
hope that things will terminate quietly. Although
Washington is a Southern city, yet there is
hardly another place in the country which would
suffer half as much in the event Of dissolution
of the Union. There are many young and ar
dent iire-eaters in the city, who unfortunately,
have not the money to pay the travelling expenses,
and come 10 the rescue of their brethren in the
South. The South Carolina and Georgia Legis-
latures would do well to appropriate 81 ,OOO, 900
for their relief
THE POSITION or SOUTH CAROLINA.
That the Legislature of South Carolina has
not itself declared the secession Of the State, but
Il. ~
as on the 18th of December, is considered here
time for reflection, and as indicating the unwil.
lingness of the State to act alone.

IN blazon his choice ~ the world till after he
shall have made his selection known to the gen.

title to the Battery, the terms of ita cossion to

a step, however, if contemplated, should be taken

The Harbor Commissioners have recently dis

unsuccessfully endeayored at Albany for several
years to procure the gift of pier privilege
south of Pier No. North River, has taken pat

thorty to seize upon the Battery front for that
purpose. Having procured the widening Of
Battery place, he is now engaged in sinking
cribs Of stone at its foot, and has, as we are
informed, already completed about so feet of
foundation for the projected pier, intending to
extend it out about $50 feet. The Commissions

ordered him to remove the cribs and their con-
tents and intend to apply the usual legal RENE.
