PERSONAL RELATIONS or BREcKlNRiDGE AND
DoUGLAs.-The editor of the PHILADELPHIA
Press tells the following:
After the close of the last Presidential cleo
ton, and on the assembling of Congress,
Judge Douglas wishing as he assured me at
the time to wash out any old grudges or i'll
feelings, and to begin his personal relations
with his Senatorial colleagues anew, sent his
card to Mr.. BrecRinrdge, as first step to
his intended course ofreconciation. lie met
Mr.. Breckenridge, who passed him without a
bow Of recognition. The card remained un-
answered. Subsequently Mrs. Douglas, ami
mated by the same kind and magnanimous
disposition, and unaware of the discourtesv
OF the Kentucky Senator, sent him her usual
reception cards. 70 these Mr.. Breokinridge
responded 10y returning his card to Mrs
Douglas the Mrs. underscored. Such little
ness could not escape immediate recognition
81 thought it, said the Judge to me some
time after mot the best evidence Of greatness
of mind or largeness of heart. and most Ger
ttainly would much prefer receiving than Civ
ing the discourtesy."

FoURTH or july PoEM-We have received
a copy of the poem, delivered at Indian Val
ley, Plumas county, on the Fourth of July,
by Chas. G. Goodwin, Esq, formerly Of this
city. 1t is a stirring appeal to patriots, and
we regret that we have only room for the
following concluding portion:
Hail glorious Geg We stars and stripes all hail,
Though treason smiles, as Migrate hands assaii
Thy bars Of beauty, and thy stars oflight,
That first blazed ont to cheer the ration's night.
Advancing high, they were the jets of flame,
That lit the way where Freedom trembling came.
Aud now though Freedom covers benea the
blows
Other Implying, unnatural foes;
Though all the Garth grows sick with wasting
wars,
Still holy flag fling to the breeze thy stars.
When all the sky is hung with clouds like night
We know, beyond the sun still walks in light.
So, sacred flag, thy fate was not earh-born,
And nothing earthly can bedim one charm
That round thec clingS thou darling Of the free,
Bcquoathcd by Heaven, twin-born with Liberty.
Like heavens bow, symbol bright as when
The "l[ug of Kings" spoke face to face with man,
a sign forever that the biowy deep,
Der carths fair surface never more should sweep,
But ever chained within their cavcrns vast,
Her stormy waves no more the earth can blast,
So is you banner, symbol that from earth,
Freedom from hence shall ne or be driven forth
But gathering splcndors as the long years wane,
Add kingdom after kingdom to her reign;
| TIL all the earth shall yicldher loyalty,
And bead to COL and her, alone the knee.

We have taken issue with the Herald upon
certain propositions contained in recent edi-
torials of that paper. The following from the
Herald of Thursday meets our views exactly,
and we sincerely hope, that the editor has
never intended TO go beyond it, We con-
tend that thus far the Administration has not
recommended single Republican party
measure, and we differ with the Herald as to
the propriety of anticipating evils Let us
all stand by the Government, ~ such, and
when the President comes to act as Party
Chief we shall all readily see it, and can OPP
pose him The Government must be sus-
tanned, and Constitutional laws enforced. The
Republican party and the Chicago platform
we will do battle against when they come in
our way. The Herald says:
Now, lest we be misunderstood in the OBJ
scrvations we have made, we desire here to
say, distinctly, that we recognize the move
mcnt Of the Southern States as rebellion
against the Government, and a rebellion
without jusiihcation--a rebellion which
should be put down by the whole power OF
the Government and elTectually crushed out.
We are in favor of coercion, because we be
lieyo It is q power as well residing in this
Government as any other, and fully as neces-
sary for its preservation. We are in favor Of
the war new going on, and would throw no
obstacle in its path but, speaking for the
Democratic party, we repeat again and again
chat we have not entered this contest for the
determination Of slavery, or the eXtinguish-
ment of the doctrine of popular sovereignty,
or the carrying out in the future policy of the
Government the principles of the Chicago
platform. Nothing Of the kind. The Repub-
lican party may reject, as they threaten to
do all compromise But, we claim that,
| when the bloody arbitrament Of battle has
been made, and the conservative masses OF
the country cry for peace, peace shall be es-
tablished and that, too, whether the terms OF
| adjustment accord with the Chicago platform
| or not
The Democratic party is loyal to the coun
| try, bat no Democrat desires to inscribe upon
! the banner under which he fights, "hostility
to slavery and the constitutional rights of the
south" The Democracy will sustain the Adj
ministration in this war but they will never
use the victory that is gained, for the pur-
pose Of fastening Republicanism and its per-
nicious principles upon the country. They
have holier mission to fulfill. Their motto
is: First the Union, next justice within the
Union.

MARROW ESCAPE OF A NEVADA TowN.-The
town of Red Dog in Nevada county had a
narrow escape from fire on Wednesday, says
the Nevada Transcript. The Globe Hotel, Il
very large wooden building, situated about
the center Of the town, took fire, and at one
time defcd all eXertions of the citizens to ex-
tinguish it a pretty strong wind was blow
ing at the time, and it is miracle that not
only the hotel, but the whole town did not
burn. As it was, Mr., A G. Chew, the pro-
pretor will get off with comparatively
trlhing loss, part Of the root and portion
of one side of the house being badly burned.

part, and have no hesitation in saying that
10 one but Miss Davenport has ever rendered
it as well in California. A San Francisco pa
per thus noticed her opening engagement in
the Stote, at the American theatcr in that
city:
The week opened with Mrs. Forbes, a
lady of much histrionic ability, who on Mon
day evening appeared as Julia in the IIunch-
back The house was densely crowded, and
the lady was received with degree of cour-
tesy and kindness which her merits, as after
wards disclosed, fully justified On each re-
appearance of Mrs Forbes, she has been
called before the curtain, and the public have
manifested their highest appreciation of her
excellence"
On Monday evening Mrs. Forbes will APP
pear as Hamlet. In addition to the desire to
see the new "star," the fact that the interior
Of the theater has been remodelled, will be
IN extra attraction. 50 we may expect to
see crowded house this evening, and gem
tlemen who propose TO accompany ladies,
should secure seats during the day.

Telegraphic Details by Pom


The following is the balance of the Union S
telegraphic Dispatch which failed to come
over the wires for the reason that they were
ont of order:
WASHINGTON June 23th.-The Gght near
Romnev was a sev ere one. Intelligence has
been received here of rebel regiment at
that place.
When Adams Express was notified by the
War Department that it was intended to stop
letter communication with the seeded States,
they Immediately sgave orders to all their
officers to stop receiving them, but as there
were numerous Letters Expresses which
could not be reached by the authorities, it
was therefore thought preferable to permit
letters to be forwarded through n RESPONSE
ble channel to be supervised 10y the Govern
ment.
LOUISVILLE, June 2Sth.-The Surveyor of
this port announces that he is not granting
permits for any class of goods to the seeded
States.
In condcmnng the carrying of contraband
good, the Journal says it had not thought of
imputing such acts TO Adams Express CO.
The Democrat is reliably informed that
Col. Rosseau's regiment goes into camp on
the Indiana side of the river.
The gun boats Tyler, Lexington and Con-
estoga has passed throught the channels to.
day.
The latest accounts from the East Tennes-
see Convention sho wed large body in ia-
vor of resisting the rebel Government A
majority are in favor of inaugurating a Pro-
visional Government for East Tennessee.
The gun boat Conestoga is at Che Portland
Dry Dock leaking badly. 1t is doubtful if
either of the gun boats can get over the
Portland Bar and if so whether they can
get to Cairo on account of low water
Baltimore, June 2Sth-lt appears that
the account of the amount of arms seized to-
day was somewhat exaggerated, but large
quantity of arms. ammunition ami cannon
balls were found secreted beneath the coal in
the Marshal's office. Some were found under
the floor in the back part of the old City
Hall building The search is still progress
ing. Five field pieces were found at Meach 5
Foundry; also three siege guns, which are
said TO have been ordered by Marshal Kane,
and supposed to have been originally design
ed for work against Fort Mcllenry, and Sc
creted there to prevent seizure 10y General
Butler. 1t is said that Gen. Banks has i'm
portant information which further events
will disclose. No disturbance has been ere
ated.
BosroN, June 2Sth-Accouuts from ST.
Domingo, received in this city, state that the
Spaniards have seventeen men of-war in the
bay of Sewana, and that storehouses were
being erected On the shore in large numbers
1t is thought the blacks would make serious
