TEE TWO COMPLICATION ACTS.

The letter of the Secretary of the Treasury in
regard 70 the cOnfiscation of rebel property,
which we printed yesterday through bunder Of
the telegraph as emanatng from the Secretary
Of State, is another evidence of the liberal man
ner in which the Treasury Department intends
to execute the two acts passed at the recent
session of Congress. Mr. Chase decides that the
9Th Section Of the act of July -, 1861. applies
to property in transit or purchased or provided
with view to transit, between loyal and dis.
loyal States. This section cOnGscates all such
property, irrespective of the uses to which it is
to be applied. 1t is simply a nOn-intercOurse
measure. But the Secretary intimates that loyal
parties, who have no intent to defraud the Gov.
eminent or aid the rebellion, and who are aggrieyed
by the severe operation Of this act can, in proper
cases, be relieved on application to his Depart
meDt He very properly holds that, the law of
July being revenue act seizures under il are
to be made by revenue officers OF course, legal
proceedings for forcitures are to be instituted ia
the Courts, and carried ON by their officers, in
the usual modes,
The 9th section Of this act provides that all
vessels owned wholly or in part by citizens of
States il insurrection against the Federal
Government shall, at the expiration of fifteen
days after the issuing of the proclamation of the
President (Which, in this case, was the first day
of September. be forfeited to the United States.
A large number OF seizures under this section
have seen made in the port Of New-York. At
the fist yiew, this clause Of the act, by sub
jecting to csnfscatiOn the shares Of vessels

pleasing strife
From an exhibition like this we believe the

only too glad of the opportunity of labor, only
asking the privilege Of daily toll, only seeking
the meet rewards of assiduity-men and women

THE END OF nRECKINRrDGE.

1t is reported, we presume on good authority,
that John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky, has at
length openly gone over to the enemy, and joined
the Rebels who are seeking to destroy the Re.
public and who, from the beginning Of their
reasonable movement have had his secret SYM
patty and countenance. To the country and to tho
Government his departure is no great loss. 10
the great majority of loyal citizens the name Of
John C. Breckinridge is the symbol, not of
great or eminenty able man, but OF small and
commonplace politician, a mediocre lawyer, aud
of soldier who, while in service in Mexico,
never faced any other enemies than the opposing
counsel in the prosecutions which he assisted the
redoubtable Gen. Pillow in bringing against
his associate and superior officers. Born
with gold spoon in his mouth, of one
of the most opulent and influential families OF
Kentucky, of pleasing manners and appearance,
and Of Unsuitable ambition, he has been pushed
forward in public life more rapidly than any
other man in our history. Before the age Of
forty, an age earlier than which high public
position is rarely attained in this country, he
had been twice a Member Of the House OF Rep
resentatiyes, had been Senator aud Vice-Presi'
dent of the United States, and at length the
candidate of great party for the Presidency
itself In all these posts, with all these opPor-
tunities he has done nothing, literally nothing
Outside of his native State no man remembers,
no man can recall speech or an act Of Mr.
Breckenridge which was striking or important
enough to take hold, however feeble, of the
public mind The act by which he will be here
after best known and longest remembered, is the
act of open treason winch be has just committed
In himself he is Of no consequence, but the
shameful detection Of a man 40 petted and ca
ressed by public favor will bring pang of re-
gret to thousands of honest Northern hearts, as
they recall the dousion under which they were
led 10 give him their suflrages in last November

carry our City high and dry, yet good many
local candidates who fOst themselves On the

which the People need and want to see in Office

may be well enough; but they will be OF small
account this FALL Honesty in legislation,
retrenchment in salaries, frugality in admins
tration these are what the People want, and
what they mean to achieve through the Union
movement this Fall. They may be cheated, but
they will not be fooled by the mere circumstance
that nominations have somehow been achieved
and that they have been fairly divided between
members of the various parties.

TIE LATEsT WAX NEWS.

We are still without full and satisfactory de-
tails of the prolonged fight at Lexington, Mo-.
wbichis said to have resulted in the loss of that
town and the surrender Of Col. Mulligan Much
inquiry is making as to the whereabouts of the
reenlOrcements stated TO be on their way for sew
eral days to aid Muligan. From the best au.
thorities il appears that Lane, with o force va
riously estimated at from 1000 to 5000. was on
Wednesday within forty miles of Lexington; four
Indiana regiments, numbering 5000, had gone
from Jefferson City on Wednesday; Col Sturees
with 8, 200, was on his way from the northward;
three regiments together with some of the Missouri
State Militia and Iowa State troops, 800 cavalry
and six pieces Of artillery left ST. Joseph and
Chillicothe at date not stated; beside these,
some troops, lmber unknown, had gone from
ST. Louis by two steamers. There have been,
from day to day rumors Of the arrival at Lex
ington Of some Of these re.enforcements, but it
would seem that the reports were not correct.
We have received news Of fight at Blue Mills
between the Rebels and an Iowa regiment, but
with this exception we have no Trustworthy
information concerning the movements of the
remainder The loss on our side in the LexiDg-
ron aght was 81 killed and l4O wounded The
Rebel loss in killed and wounded was about 800.
1t is stated that a fight occurred at Maria
town, NO., on Tuesday, the 18th inst, between
800 National troops under Co.'s Montgomery and
Johnston and 400 Rebels; the latter were COM
pletely routed. with the loss Of seven killed; 100
horses and all their tents and supplies were cap
tured On our side we had serious loss, in
Che death of Col. Johnston, who fell pierced
with nine balls; we also lost two privates and
had six wounded.

evenings-clOsing on Saturday night. These
will positively be the last, as it will be opened
in Grass Valley on Monday evening next. We
hope all of our citizens who have not yet done
so will avail themselves Of the opportunity pre-
sented in these last four evenings to visit it, as
we can assure them not to do so would be to
miss one Of the rarest treats OF life time.
We hope to see some fair weather this week so
the ladies can come out, as il Is an exhibition
very interesting to them. A splendid list Of
presents will be given to advertisers selected
from the audience on each of these evenings
the presents consisting OF elegant gold-clasp
family Bibles, splendid watches, silver cake
baskets, silver teapots, gold clasp bracelets,
elegant books, etc. We hope to see the Theater
we'll filed on each of these last four evenings,
as the exhibition is worthy of the patronage of
every man, woman and child in our city.
DELINQUENT TAxEs.-By reference to ad-
