md amid strains of martial m usic and DISPLAY
" hreworks, Mr. Breckenridge appeared upon
tue balcony, was introduced by Col. John u
Crozier, and returned his thanks for this
warm and unexpected reception.
He declined to- discuss the questions which
had led 10 the disruption of the old Union
because of the peculiar circumstances in
which he found himself, which forbade the
expression OF his feelings until he could
get back TO that home from which he was
now a fugitive without crime But he as

was thrown TO him from one OF the windows
OF the house. for which he returned his
thanks in a few eloquent words ana retired
amid the cheers OF the multitude.
Col VIM Preston, late u. s. Minister 10
spain, was then loudly called for, and made
stirring address, in the course of which, after
referring to the outrages perpetrated by the
Lincoln despotism upon kentucky and the
fhthiessness OF its Legislature to the people,

The editor of the Lynchburg RcDu5Itocn
writes, from Gen. Lees camp, at Meadow
Bluff, the following, under date of SEPT. p:
About 10 O'Clock this morning one of the

bEACEEGARD ON THE NORTHERN OBITUARY LIST.
The Yankee editors are determined TO Kill
some Southern hero, notwithstanding tie
ohstinacy exhibited by President Davis in the
face of the most cajo!ing and encouraging
obituaries. The S.. Louis Repuj!ica,. has the
following:

sent for all the way to New Orleans, aud the

paid him nocturnal visits, until, in much
agony, the patriot yielded up the ghost. One
night body was carried clandes timely ont of
the house and surreptitiously buried. That
was Beauregard. His death was kept as pro-
found a secret as possible, and the r newspapers
We're not permitted TO mention it but the
circumstances leaked out, and have been a
matter of private talk in New Orleans. The
CofsntrciG, writer says that there is no kind of
doubt about it. We have obstiuately made
up our minds, however, not 10 believe the re-
port a present.
GRAND RECEPTION TO YANKEE PRISONERS.
The entrance of the Yankee prisoners into
New Orleans was greeted with display that
would have done credit to a Fourth of July
celebration. The Bee thus alludes to it:
When we say there must have been s.t least
fifty thousand people ont it is no hap hazard
speculation, but a careful and moderate esti-
mate. There were men, women, and children,
old and young, white and black. Every class,
position ser, and status, was represen ted there,
and in every different style. There were ladies
and gentlemen in carriages and barOuches,
people in cabs wagons, drays, and dirt carts,
on horseback and on foot: and 10 add to the
diversity, We're the firemen, mounted on their
engines and hook and ladder trucks.
A little before twelve O'Clock the special
train arrived, and the troops cleared space
around it as speedily possible, for the pris-
ouers to get out of the cirs and form hy fOurs
The regiment of Orleans Guards were detailed
as the guard, with the Orleans Light Horse i'll
advance to clear an avenue for them through
the dense crowds that even closed up the mid
die OF the streets. All was now perfect silence
and decorum. The Quitman Rifles, of Jack
son, who had brought the prisoners here to
relieve the fatigued soldiers from Virginia,
were meanwhile received by the Louisiana
Guards, and the Louisiana State Guards.
The route Of march was taken up, and
then the pressure of the crowd became ter
rible. ladies aud children stood no chance,
and hoops exploded in every direction. More
than one-haif Of the showing, prying crowd,
nothing more than the bayonets of the
guard, which marched in a hollow parallelo-
gram, with the prisoners, walking four
abreast, in the centre.
