John c. Brecknridge, in his address to the peo-
pie OF Kentucky, which is quite lengthy, says
there is no longer Senate Of the United States-
the United States no longer exists the Union is
dissolved 1t is little singular tliatMr Breckin-
ridge should have only just now arrived at the con-
clusion that the Union is broken up. He occupied
his seat and drew his pay as Senator of the
United States after eleven of the States had pass
cd their secession ordinances, after war had been
declared by both sections, after number of bat
ties had been fought, including that Of Bull run
and after the principal nations Of Europe had ac-
knowledged the Southern confederacy as a bel
lgerent. What. has happened to bring this
conviction so suddenly upon his mind we are
at loss to determine, unless it be that lie can
see certain expulsion from the Senate at the com
ing session Of Congress- In his letter he resigns
his seat and announces his intention to exchange
his "sx years term for the muskct of soldier"
Unless we mistake the sentiments of majority
of the members of the Senate, his term would
not have lasted six days after the first Moday in
December next

AS a vast deal has been said about the inyinci-
bility of the famous Captain ollins' steam RAM it
will be well enough to keep in view the exact per-
formances Of that craft when the Southern navy
attacked our blockading squadron in the Mississippi
river. Ia the darkness of the night she drifted
afoul of the government steamship Richmond by
which accident she broke her iron nose which was
to have annihilated the entire Union fect dsar-
ranged her machinery, and finally ran away
towards New Orleans, when only two guns of the
squadron were bearing on her. This iron-clad non
descript was constructed at a cost of over two
hundred thousand dollars and appears to be about
az formidable as dredging machine.
