| SENATOR GREEN BREAKS HIS OATH-By
persons who arrived yesterday morning on
the packet Hannibal City, we learn that ex-
Senator Green has violated his parole given
to the United States authorities, by leaving
Canton and Monticello on Saturday morning,
in company with his brother Martin, and
from three to five hundred armed men to Join
the rebels at some point in the interior. Col.
Carney, a passenger from Canton, corrobo-
rates this statement
There was an intense feeling among Union
men at this act of dishonor of Green's, and a
stronger desire than ever to wipe out seces-
sion and Jim Green-INissouri Democrat.
SECRETARY OTERo TRAITOR New
Orleans Picayune has the authority of Major
II. II. Sibley, who had arrived there from
New Mexico to take command in the Southern
army, that there is strong secession party
in that Territory, and that Miguel A Otero is
its candidate, actively on the stump, for the
Southern Congress. Mr.. Otero was the late
delegate in Congress, and received Mr.. Lin
coins appointment as Secretary of the Terri
tory. His appointment was sharply COM
mented upon by the press, at the time and it
now appears with good reason.

considerable portion OIL our space Is agalh
given up TO the details of tho victory at Beau
fort. From various sources we know that
this success of the National forces has filed
the rebel mind with fear and trembling no
less than with rage. The accounts OF the
affair taken from the Southern papers will be
read with interest; we repubsh also list o.
the vessels composing the fleet. Re.enforce-
ments will be rapidly sent forward TO support
the troops at Port Royal two steamers, one
from Annapolis aud one from Fortress Monroe,
have already sailed; others will soOn follow.
The second great expedition, to be under
the command of Gen. Burnside, is rapidly pre-
pairing. GeD. Buffers troops, TO the number
Of 5000 or 1900 will shortly embark from
Boston TO join this expedition; three Ma'sa-
chusctts Regiments, two of Connecticut, and
one of New-York, are now stationed IN and
about AnuapOlis, ready to join it.

The Union men in East Tennessee have

We do not say that there may not be; but
what have we done to invite it
Slavery is either the strength or the weak
ness of the Rebel Conlederacy, according to its
treatment by the UniOnists. If our comman-
ders respect and uphold it, the rebellion ia
strengthened by its existence; but if we ignore
and defy it, calling on the slaves Of rebels to
come within the Union lines and there DO free

fedcrates more trouble and effort to keep their
negroes than their services can be worth to
the rebellion. As yet, we regret to say, the
policy Of the Government has not been open,
perspicuous, consistent, aud the rebels have
proftcd by the ambiguity. We trust that they
are so TO profit but little longer.

and bis facial angle Of 800; that in stature he
is tall, 1.-THE, welbut, and sweetly- shouldered (;
and that TO use the words Of an eminent
physical geogrnpher, "all his proportions re-
{" veal tho perfect harmony which Is the es-
{" sence Of beauty" Such Is the type Of the
white race, and, no doubt, Of Samuel Stern,
who should be cautious about looking into
wells il be would avoid the suicide of Narcssus.
For the sake of artistic culture, and from o
firm conviction that "a thing of beauty is q
"joy forever We are pleased to notice that
this Caucasian Samuel does not keep "stiiI
F." cloister'd up" but displays his personsl
charms upon the platforms Of public meetings
as illustrations of his own clinical principles.
His last exhibition Of himself was in Boston,
on tho 18th instant, at gathering of Germans
called to consider the case of Gen. Fremont.
