SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The question of the United States Senator
ship, is the all engrossing topic, and were it not
that public opinion is diverted from this by the
events trans piring atWashingtou and atChares-
ton, it would be still more intensified. No re-
liable estimate can be formed of the probable
result the friends of Washburne and Randall
seem equally confident while the friends of
Judge Howe are apparently less sanguine.-
Should the friends of the three candidates now
in the field, persist in their adherence, new
candidate may be the possible alternative, to
effect an election. The interest which is felt
in the State in this election, is evidenced by a
large lobby force in attendance at Madison.

After JeR. Davis.

McMullen's corps of Philadelphia rogues
are the fighting boys of the Quaker City.
They have vowed VOW to bring back JEFF.
Davis head. From the terrible character
for reckless, dashingT bravery which these
men possess, it is very certain that if they
ever come within striking distance of JEFF.
they will get him. They will wait no stu.
pid formalities of law, not even for drum
head Court Martial, for the shrift will be
quick and short. The other day GENTLE
man who is much interested in the VOW,
presented McMullen with book of por-
traits of Davis, Floyd, Cobb, Letcher, and
Others whose heads are wanted, sort of
portable rogues' gallery, to aid the memory
of the boys when the time comes. They
were delighted with the present, said it was
the very thing they wanted, and are now
studying it attentively.

Revolutionary "reminiscences

In the year 1926, after all, save one of
the band of patriots whose signatures are
borne on the Declaration OF Independence,
had descended to the tomb, and the vener-
able Charles Carroll, of Maryland, alone
remained among the living, the government
of the city of New York deputed a com.
mittee to wait upon the illustrious survi-
vor and obtain from him. for deposit in the
public hall of the city, copy of the Decla-
ration of l776, graced and authenticated
anew by bis sign manual. The aged patriot
yielded to the request, and affixed with his
own hand, to copy of that instrument, the
grateful, solemn, and pious supplemental
declaration which follows:
Grateful to Almighty God for the blessings
which, through Jesus Christ our Lord, he has
conferred on my beloved country in the eman.
cipation, and on myself in permitting me, un-
per circumstances of mercy, to live to the age
of eighty-nine years, and to survive the fiftieth
year of American Independence, and certify
by my present signature my appreciation of
the Declaration of Independence, adopted by
Congress on the 4th of July, l776, which orr.
ginaly signed on the I'd day of August of the
same year, and of which l am now the last
surviving signer, l do hereby recommend to
the present and future generations the prnci
Piles of that important document as the best
earthly Inheritance their ancestors could be-
queath to them, and play that the civil and re-
ligous liberties they have secured to my coun-
try, may be perpetuated to the remotest pos
terity, and extended to the whole family of
man.

The Hypocrisy Of Treason.

The Louisville Journal is showing up the
false pretences under which the Breckin-
ridge disunionists obtained the votes of
Union men in Kentucky in the last Presi-
Dental election.
1t quotes the following extracts from q
speech made at Frankfort on the 18th of
July, 1860, by Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE
Fellow citizens, as to the charge that the
convention to which owe my nomination, or
that the friends that supported me, or that
myself am tainted with spirit of dsunion,
how absurd it must sound to a Kentucky audi
ence. and in this old district too. l, an Amer
lean citizen, a Kentuckian, who never did an
act nor cherished thought that was not full of
devotion to the constitution and the Union!
We live under the best government on earth.
This is the only country in the world where ex-
perrin ns has demonstrated that free insttu.
tions may be established over great popula.
ton and large area of country and be COM
patible with public order.
That constitution was framed and transmit.
ted by the wisest generation of men shat ever
lived in the tide of time" 1t may be called
an inspired instrument. Let us keep it, and
Keep 1t pure.
And yet this same JOHN G. BREcKrN-
RIDGE, who so recently uttered those patri-
otto sentiments, was then and is now playing
into the hands of the disunion traitors who
originated this rebellion. Why, and for
what? Political ambition, and the empty
bauble of Presidential nomination. What
contrast does his course present with that
of the lamented DOUGLAS. His ardent
patriotism was not chilled by political dis
appointment, but, after defeat, arising in
stantly above personal considerations, be
gave his whole soul, and all his energies,
even his life, for the benefit of his country.

We find the following correspondence in
the Lake City Tribune of June Is. 1t was
communicated to the Captain OF volunteer
company in that place, who had raised
company under Interpretation of going ina
regiment to be commanded by Col. Robert
SON:
The following is the correspondence be-
tween Senator Rice and Col. Robertson,
commander of the Second Regiment:
WASHINGTON, June 10.

War authorizes me to say that he will accept
another Regiment from Minnesota, provided it
can be ready for marching orders in ten days,
otherwise he will not take it. The Regiment

NISHED HERE. II. NJ. RICE.
Colonel ROBERTSON answered that his
Regiment would be ready in the time, and
has made contract for clothing, camp equip.
page, &C., to be ready at the proper time.
Mr.. RICE responded to Col. RoBERrsoN's
answer as follows:
WASHINGTON, June IL.
Col. D. A. ROBERTSON Your dispatch is re.
ceived. Get ready at once.l Orders will be sent
VIM w AOGAy AAAV eAoo w dIC ICduJs
H. M. RICE.
Owing to circumstances explained in
Col. RoBERrsoNs card, published the other
day, he has withdrawn from any participa-
ton in the organization of the second regi-
ment. But in justice to that gentleman, it
is proper to state that he was encouraged
to proceed in the organization of his regi-
ment by the most positive assurances on the
part of Gov. RAMSEY, that it should form
the second Minnesota regiment, if another
one was called for; and further, it was by
the earnest and unceasing efforts of Col.
ROBERTSON, and influential friends at the
capital, that second regiment was called
for from this State, after Gov. RAMsEY's
proffer of an additional one had been re.
jected.
In making these statements in justice to a
gentleman who has made large pecuniary
sacrifices to organize and obtain the accept.
ance of an additional regiment from this
State, we disclaim any desire to discourage
the prompt formation of the second regi-
ment under the immediate auspices of the
State authorities. Nor do we desire to
express an opinion as to the fitness of this
or that man for military position. On this
subject, we hold to views heretofore ex-
pressed, that without regard to locality, or
political procivities, the best military talent
in the State should be brought into requi-
sition. The most absurd proposition that
we have heard advanced, is that the Cover
nor should regard both these points in ma
king appointments.
We hope he will not do so. Ii he per-
mits such considerations to rule his action,
be will be guilty Of triaing with the lives
and honor of his fellow citizens. Military
education and experience, sound judgment,
unexceptionable habits, and unimpeachable
loyalty, should alone enter into the determi.
nation of military appointments.

officer there that if the Angel Gabriel
stoned at Cairo there would be no resur-

cause the people would swindle him out Of

The Story they Tell the Slaves. q
The Mobile (Ala.) Register, in an article
upon the warlike preparations OF the North,

says:
Servile instruction is part of their pro-
practical good to result therefrom--c consequent.
ly it is contended that it would be far better
course of policy for the Abolitionists to muir.
der the slaves and thus extermnate slavery. A
more monstrous proposition could not emanate
from the most incarnate fend among the
damned. But Infamous as it is, it finds an ad-
vocate in the Abolition press. The slaves are
to be Unfortunately slaughtered, and, when
the last one is butchered, then it is thought the
institution will cease to exist.
The editor of the Register does not be-
lieve that, but it is an excellent story to cir
culate among the slaves to make them loyal
to their masters. They may, and probably
will believe it.!

Steamers captured on the Mississippi river Is
1t will be seen that most of the vessels
which have been captured by the Southern
Confederates, were taken in port and on
the Mississippi river and within the domain
OF their rebellion. Since the blockade has
become efficient off their ports, We hear of
no more captures, and probably shall not,
as they are not able to get to sea with their
letters of marque. Even if they did get to
the blue water, they could do but little
harm, since England has forbidden them
entrance into her ports Or those of her colo.

them to stay "a hours.
