Breckenridge and the Black Republicans.

On the 9th inst dinner given to Messrs Bre eh
nridge and Vallandigham at the Eutaw house Baltimore
From imperfect telegraph account of that date IN
the Louisville papers of the 18th ns gather that
Mr. Breckenridge must been have called out by the popu
lace to make them aspeech. The dispatch commences alb
ruptly, and we give it as we find it:
BALTIMORE, August 9.-Mr Breckenridge continued
speak for about half hour. Interruptions
frequent that but here and there sentence could be
obtained He said that he desired speak for the poor
and the weak and not for the rich and the powerful
Here Mr. Breckenridge interrupted by powerful
voice with the words You lie you know you do"
Mr.. B. then referred to the position of Maryland,
whose citizens had again and again been outraged in
their dearest constitutional rights all the respectful
inquiries to the charges alleged against those who
had been rudely torn from their homes and their fani-
lies nothing but contemptuous responses had been
turned. "Do you" asked Mr. B., cali this liberty?"
Cries of No no, no. interminged with cries Of "0h,
! dry up, you traitor, &C.
/ Mr.. Breckenridge here inquired Of those who mani
Tested disposition not to listen to him. why they
present if they did not desire to hear him. This ques-
ton was followed by loud cheers and Kisses. violent
commotion was now observed to take place among the
crowd, which swayed from pavement to pavement if
under strong excitement and the clubs of policemen
seen being applied with Ygor upon the heads OF
those who were resisting them.
Mr.. Breckinrdge speaking amid the din, said that
those who interrupted him with opprobrious epithes
and misses poor fellows who tightening the
degraiug fetters which bound them. feel personally
responsible for the poor fellows rudey treatedI
grieye to think that any one should be hurt my
account
Cries of good and cheers for JEFF. Davis and the
Southern Confederacy.
An active fghtnow sprung up and occupied the atten
ton OF the crowd for several minutes and occaoned
general stampede of the tiInid
Mr. Breckenridge said 1t is evident that the distubers
are but few in numbers they feared to face him. Do
speak the truth?
The inquiry met by renewal of epithets directed
against the speaker.
A Yoice-"0h! never mind, they are just from the Jail
and the amshouse"
The cheering was here renewed and was instantly fol-
lowed by renewal of violent Disturbances
Mr.. Breckinridge-Iou poor fellows may hiss now,
but your children will bless me.
A voice-"0h, go to South Carolina and be damned
to YOU"
This was met by vehement cheering and rush was
again made by the police on the crowd
This was followed by gang Of men from the right
Amid frequent interruptions, the speaker continued
have atentvey watched the faces Of those around me
tonight and feel bound to say that this disturbance
has been occasioned by handful Of carrying clubs
and wearing brass badges.
A voee-"They are the dodge police"
Mr.. Breekinridge-I protest against the usurpaton Of

at hand when it will cease to exist.

REAL OBJECT OF THE WAR-We clip the following
significant article from the New York News: By the
papers which arrived by the AngloSaxou we learn that
the Rev Dr. Cheeyer and the British aboltionsts are
looking to the American for the most hopeful re-
suits for their AT meeting in which the pastor
OF the church of the Purtans declared his conviction
that the American would result in the total eman
epation OF the black The Morning Star in which
these proceedings published strongly inorses the
efforts of DR.. Cheever, and believes that ashe brave
martyrs who have thus far shed their blood in behalf of
aegEo freedom have not suffered in win Such is the
only presumption evidently upon which the war finds
any sympathy abroad In any other respect the teach
ing Of plain sense is that the contest is both
runous and hopeless and is the fact more clear
lhan to those the who have explored the
mysteries of war and look upon transatlantic events
with vision unobscured by immediate contact or the
nists Of passion We accord to Dr. Cheever the merit
5f both and tahkness in this matter and eonse-
tuenty, we'll appreciate his purpose in administer
ing t5 the utter ruin of country and government His
Interpretation Of the real motive which governs the war
party is unquestonably truthful as any other nterpre
saton would be incompatible with any ordinary mode of
reasoning upon the subject 1t is to be hoped that the
American people will open their eyes the real enor-
nifty OF the project before it is too late to arrest The
threatened calamity Lett least attempt to preserve
The form and spirit Of the government though the day
pf negro millennium and jubilee, which eniiyens the
hopes of Dr. Cheever and his sympathsers be indei-
Fitely postponed.

SUPERIORITY or TIE SOUTHERN 0FECEUs.-Under
this head the New York Herald has the following ar
tcle:
1t is impossible TO read the southern accounts in de-
tail Of the battle Bull Run aud compare them with
the accounts given by our own officers and men, as
well as those civilians who witnessed the fight without
coming to the conclusion that the southern army had
greatly the advantage i'll officers over the northern
armv They fought with bravery which casts the
conduct of the Union officers into the shade, and that
selfsacrihcing herosm told the fortunes of the day.
The men advanced TO the charge or held important
positions while they decmated, because they
animated and fired by the example of their leaders
1t impossible otherwise tOaccOunt for their great loss
in men and officers far exceeding, according
counts the loss in the Union army.
The number of officers Of high rank killed and
wounded bears proportion to those killed and wound
ed in leading the enemy. The rebels lost at least in
killed. generals, one brigadiergener six colonies,
one heutenantcolonel i'll wounded, brigadIergen-
era six coloDels and three maors-twenty field olii
GERS in all. The loss in company officers though not
great was not, perhaps IN equal proportion. The
southern field officers fell in leading their troops the
charge, and their example inspired their men with
great ardor when they we're inclined to give way.
We read that Beauregard and Johnston themselves
were in the hickest OF the fight at the decisive mo-
ment Beauregard having his horse shot under him;
and throughout the day these generals exposed them
selves continually death by gaoping along the front
of their lines observe the development OF battle
Where were our field officers during this period? We
almost ashamed to tell Weknow there are gallant
ceptions-such as Sprague of Rhode Island; but it
must be confessed that field officers the whole,
reflected but little credit upon the army upon the
loyal States and the chief part of the fighting done
by brave privates and company officers their own
hook. Our superiority in men. The southern su-
periority was in the officers The reason is obvious;
the officers in the federal army have been selected
from purely political or personal considerations, and
without any regard to the professional qualifications
necessary for such important trust whereas in the
southern army the field officers have been chosen chiefly
for their courage, skill, and scientific attanments,
Hence the difference

DISCOVERING A THIEF.-After Lorenzo Dow had re
tired his room after hard days ride i'll the
part of Virginia number OF persons collected in the
baG-room, to enjoy their usual rcyerics, the
in that part of the country At late hour in the
night, the alarm was given that of the company
had lost his pocket-book, and search proposed
Whereupon the landlord remarked that Lorenzo Dow
was in the house. and that if the money there be
knew that Lorenzo could find it, The suggestion was
instantly received with appreciation, and accordingly
Mr. Dow aroused from his slumbcr and brought
forth to find the money As he entered the room, his
eyes ran the company with searching inquiry but
nothing appeared that could fix guilt upon any one.
The loser appeared with countenance expressive oi
great concern, aud besought Mr.. Dow, for heavens
sake to find the money.
''Have any left the company since you lost yom
money! asked Alr. Dow.
None, said the loser, ''nopc."
Then" said Lorenzo turning to the landlord, '6o
and bring large dinner pot"
This created no little surprise. But as supernatural
powers universally conceded, his directions we2c
Enthusiastically obeyed gAeeordmgy the pot was brought
forward and set i'll the miGdle OF the ROOM
Now, said Lorenzo, go and bring the old chicken
cock from the roost"
This was also done at Lorcnzos directions the cocl
was placed in the pot and covered with board or lid
''Let the doors be fastened and the lights be eX
tuguished ] aid BIr. Dow, which Sas also done
Now" said he, every person i'll the room must rut
his hands hard against the pot and when the guilty
hand touches it, the cock will crow
Accordingly all came forward and rubbed, or pre-
tended to rub, against the pot. But cock crowed
Let the candles be lighted, said Lorenzo,
there is guilty person here. If the bad any
money, he must have lost it some place else. But
stop" said Lorenzo when all things prepared,
''let examine the hands,
This was the important part Of his arrangement
For on examination it found that man had not
rubbed against the pot The others hands being black
with the SCOT from the pot proof of their inno-
cence.
The culprit, seeing his detection, at once acknowl-
edged bis guilt.
