The Hon. John G. Breckenridge made q
speech at Bowlingreen, recently, in which
be portrayed the evils of Black Republican,
ism, and the evils which are upon the coun-
try. Pausing to give due force to his ques-
ton, he asked, "And who is guilty of
bringing about this terrible condition of
affairs 2" To the infinite establishment and
disgust of the Hon. Senator, three of the
most respectable citizens of the county
arose, and promptly answered: "Warren
county charges you s0,th it," 1t need not be
told that the handsome Senator subsidized
into tumbler of water, and did not re.
cover.

That event was not yet even preceded by the
usual premonitions, the internal rumbling and
trembling which admonish the inhabitants of
volcanic countries of an impending eruption"
Our Southern friends would do we'll to
get out of the way Of this overwhelming
eruption of Union sentiment, by returning
to their allegiance to the Constitution.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, in quoting the
above protestation, made by JEFFERSON
DAVIS in his late message to the Rebel
Congress, at Montgomery, groups together
the acts of the traitors, since December
last, and in that way fairly interpfets their
words by their deeds.
On the 18th of December last they seized
Fort Monroe, Castle Pinckney, the Custom
House, Post Office, and Arsenal at Charles
ton, all of them indisputably the property
of the Federal Government.
On the End of January they seized Forts
Pulaski and Jackson, and the United States
Arsenal at Savannah, all of them indis-
putably the property Of the Federal Gov
eminent.
On the 4th Of January they seized Fort
Morgan and the Arsenal at Mobile also
the property of the Federal Government.
On the 9th Of January they fired into the
Star of the West, bearing the United States
flag, and carrying provisions and reinforce
ments to United States fort:
On the 18th of January they seized the
United States Arsenal at Baton Rouge,
and Forts Pike and jackson.
On the 18th of January they seized the
United States Navy Yard at Pensacola,
and Fort Barancas, and have ever since
been preparing to attack Fort Pickens, and
wrest it from the United States.
On the 3lst of January they seized the
United States Custom House at New Or
leans, and the mint, with the treasure.
On the 10th of February they took, by
the surrender of the arbitrator Tw1aas,
the munitions of war and the other public
property in Texas.
On the 18th of April they bombarded an
captured Fort Sumter.
On the 18th of April Mr.. JEFFERSON
DAVIS issued letters of marque, making war
upon private citizens as well as the Gov
eminent of the United States.
On the 18th of April the rebel Secretary
Of War publicly proclaimed their intention
to attack the National Capital, and boosted
that by the LIST of May the rebel flag would
float from the Capitol.
In every case of the seizure of public
property, they hauled down the flag Of the
United States and hoisted rebel flag in
its place.
And yet-ALL THEY WANT Is TO BE LET
ALONE!

The River and Eevees.---The

Mississippi is at stand just now,
though an opinion holds in the commu-
nifty that We may still look forward to
an increase in the waters from some of
the upper rivers; Red River is said to
be4sweliing rapidly, with the Missouri
and a few of the minor tributaries.
Still, with the care of the planters,
who are fully awake to all the threa-

watchfulness. little need be appre-
hended, unless an unprecedented rise
of the waters reach us. The Levees
on our Coast above are said to be in

A Crevasse IN Pointe Coupee Parish.
The False River Democrat of the 18th
says:
A crevasse has taken place on the
plantation of John Taylor Moore, on
the Atchafalaya river below Muscle
bayou. The swamp between that river
and Bayon Fordoche will socn be filed
with water. Nothing else could be
expected, as the levees are much too
low and most of them lately construct
ed. The water of the Atchafalaya is
higher this year than it was in 1850.
This break in the levee, however. viii
not do very great deal of injury TO
the parish.
OF the crevasse near Thibodaux, al
ready noticed the Sentinel of the 18th
says:
The crevasse which has occurred last
Thursday night, near the st. Mary's
church some fourteen or fifteen miles
below this place, is not, as yet, we are
informed, stopped, and is not likely
to be checked from it's rapid increase
in the breach made, which is now nearly
one arpent in width. This, we think,
will indeed be disastrous to many of
our planters in this parish, and if not
soon stopped by the fall of water, or by
the exertions of those now at work upon
it, will prove of great damage to the
crops in the parish of Terrebonne.
