John c. Breckenridge, in his address to the people of Kentucky, which is quite length, says "there is no longer Senate of the United States -the Uniled States no longer exists-the Union is dissolved" It is little singular that Mir. Breckenridge should have only just now arrived at the conclusion tbat the Union is broken up Ile occupied his seat and drew his pay as q Sem ator of the United States after eleven of the States had passed their secession ordinances af- ter war had been declared by both sections, af ter number of battles had been fought in ,lud ing that of Bull Run, and after the principal na- tions of Europe hal acknowledged the Southe,n n confederacy as belligerent What has happen- ed to bring this conviction so suddenly upon his mind we arc at a loss to determine, unless it be that he can see certain expulsion from the Sem ate at the coming session of Congress. In his letter he resigns his seat and announces his in tention to exchange his "six years term for the musket 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 Monday in December next.
 During the passage of the 9th New Hampshire Regiment across the Sound, a fellow named Lord Harris, of Norwich Conn was discovered selling liquor to the soldiers He was immedi- ately arrested, hand cutfed, and kept under guard until the regiment reached barren tract of country twelve miles south of New Brunswick in Jersey, where the offender was taken from the train, marched into a thick forest to the music of the " Rogucs March, and there set at liberty as far as his feet were concerned, but with the shacklcs left upon his hands, He plead "like good one" to have the manaces taken off, but it was no go" The fellow will probably look out for Now Hampshire Colonels after this
 Major-General Mcclellan is now Commander au-Chief of the American army. While his pro- motion has been rapid, beyond precedent, it is gratifying to know that the confidence of the nation in him is perfect, and to be able to say moreover that that confidence is fully justified. It seems but few months ago that he was in this city, a we'll known young officer, highly es- deemed by all who knew him. and as some then remarked, special favorite of Gen. Scott None who were present at the ceremony of his marriage with the accomplished daug ghter of Col. Marcy, imagined that within little more than year he would be at the head of the army: and in fact the hope of the nation. We have the greatest confidence in his ability, frmness, eau tion and patriotism nor is their man in Amer 1oa whom we should desire to see substituted for him. We have reason to believe that Gen. Scott has always considered him one of tho most accomplished of soldiers, and will be abun- dantly satisfied at leaving the arms in his hands. Journal of Commerce.
 There is some level country in front of Gen. treville, where armies might meet in hostile ar ray, but the rebels evidently are not anxious for a" fair fight" If they are determined to re- trent behind their masked batteries, and to en- trench themselves, they will find that General Mcclellan has profted by his Sebastopol stud ies, and that the Northern forces can push for will be able to throw shot and shell into their strong holds. The postponement of the depar- ture of the expedition nearly month after the time originally set has retarded other move ments. But it will not be very long ere General Mcclellan will change his headquarters to the other side of the Potomac, and "take the field" Meanwhile the busy note of preparations" is heard in every camp.
 General Mcclellan has issued an order exone- rating General Stone from the responsibility of the disaster at Balls Bluff, and stating that the blame belongs to subordinate officer, whose name he does not state.

 At the marriage of the Count dArtois the |~city of Paris agreed to furnish marriage. A sweet little girl of 16 named Lse Noirin, having presented herself to inscribe her name on the list, was asked who was her lover. 70, said she with great simplicity, II have no lover; I thought the city furnished everything" When Oliver Cromwell first coined money, an old cavalier, looking at one of the new pieces read this inscription on one side, "God be with ns," and on the other.
