na- There seems to be fatality about
the office of Vice-Presidcnt of the United

Jealous rebel; and John G. Breckenridge,

teens, and assumed the government of Por-

was however, of short-lived race, as his
mother and grandfather both died in their
prime. Great things were justly hoped of
this young king, who was virtuous, energetic
and possessed of common sense. His death
is great loss to Portugal. He lis succeeded
by his brother, Louis PHILIPPE, Duke of

MEASSEss WHITFIELD DowN.-Last week we
expressed qualification at an accidental discov-
cry of the whereabouts of our municipal govern
ment. for which the Frontier takes us to task,
and in Characteristic lingo, accuses US of an
unwarransable attack on our Mayor, and pro-
ceeds to read us q lecture. As if to show up
their own duplicity and baseness, there appears
in the very next column, and directly opposite
the article we now allude to, a notice of the
Eagle Hotel, wherein they say that :" since the
closing of the City Hotel We had almost ceased
to hope for another irst-class house, and confess
oursef well satisfied that the project is placed in
energetic hands" Now, why this slur on our
worthy citizens, Messrs. Orr d Weston! Its
meanness, and the depravity Of the heart which
prompted it, will be the more apparent when
we say that not single attachee of the Frontier
has ever been in the Eagle Hotel while under
the charge of these gentlemen. Now, the differ
ence: The Mayor is a public man, and If We
east any slur upon him it was prompted BY The
best interests of the community, VIDE the scenes
OF last Monday week; Messrs. Or d Weston are
private citizens. The question now is, Why
should public journal so debase itself, and
become SO low as to attack private citizens in
this manner.

Ane Kew. Robert ]. Breckenridge On the Meanness
and Cowardice of the Secesh.

and Cowardice of the Secesh.
The following intensely true paragraph
IS taken from the magnificent paper which
the Rev. Robert J. Breckenridge, of Ken.
lucky, has just contributed to the literature
OF the country:
"The secessionists would have mankind
believe, that their conduct is prompted by
the most elevated principles, and directed
by the noblest instincts. In illustration of
these pretensions, those who were in the
highest civil stations. plundered the govern.
ment under which they were Senators,
members of Congress, and Cabinet officers;
those who were in the naval and military
service betrayed the flag of their country,
and delivered UP, not only strong places,
but the troops conGded to them; those who
had the opportunity, robbed the govern
ment of money; those who were on for.
eIgn diplomatic service, used their positions
TO the greatest possible injury Of the ma.
tion; and if there were any exceptions of
honorable conduct among them Eve do net
know of single one, )they occurred amongst
those of subordinate rank, and have been
concealed by their comrades as marks of
weakness. al these degrading evidences
of the total Generalization of the party,
occurred in that stage Of the conspiracy i'm
mediately preparatory to the commence
ment of hostilities by them. At first,
they seemed to have supposed that the ma
ton would make no serious attempt to re-
duce them by force and that great peo-
pie, betrayed aud sold, would accept the ig-
nomlnious fate prepared for it, When
2hey aw0ke from this stupid dream, their
first resort was, very naturally, to an exhi,
bition Of the quality Of their heroism, and
their wall Of" No coercion" -resounded
through the land, echoed by the concerted
cry of their secret allies in the loyal States,
Peace on any terms, aedh our brethren ?
Their next resort, just as naturally, was a
manifestation Of the reality Of their boosted
confidence in themselves, in their resources,
and in their cause. This, also, they exhib-
tied, in manner perfectly characteristic.
Lmissarios were despatched to all foreign
nations, embracing even the distracted gov
ernments south of us, and not even forget
ting our Indian tribes, or the Mormon
kingdom. Everywhere, under the sun,
where the least help seemed attainable, by
whatever means they supposed might be eff
fcctual, they eagerly sought it. Some
times by menaces, sometimes by solicitation,
sometimes seeking alliances, sometimes Of
ferine everything, sometimes begging for
anything-evcn for a king, if they could
get nothing better. Bat always, and every
where, heIp was what they wanted Help,
against their own country, Which they had
betrayed Oh ! patriots! Help against
their own people, whom they profess to
have terrified, and to be able to subdue.--
Oh! heroes y more shameful record
does not disfsu.s the history Of sediti0n.'

A MoNARCHY FOR THE REBELs.-Recent
Intercepted letters indicate that there is
much apprehension of the establishment
of monarchy in the Rebel States. The
passage in Governor Pickens' Message call
ing for "stronger Government" the
action of the Richmond Convention in re-
stricting the right OF suffrage, and similar

people are called upon to choose Mayor, two
Aldermen, Treasurer, Marshal, Assessor, and

will attend to the matter, and will make such
selections without regard to politics, as will best
conduce to the prosperity of our town.

The Richmond Eraa3jaer of Nov. Goth,
contains an elaborate leading article, evil
IDENTITY paving the way for a general con-
scription. 1t begins by saying:
=, "Thc campaisn Of 1861 may be consid-
-ered as over In a fortnight the enemy
can do nothing more The early danger Of
the South that it would tie overwhelmed,
before il could organize and prepare for De.
Tense, b. superior numbers and tTansporta-
ton, is 1t an end, We have so much ad-
vantage. But in the struggle an important
feature has presented itself III the temper Of
the United States. Before the war began
all sane men believed they would compro-
mise the political quarrel with the South
and had the North offered the South the
poorest terms, so corrupt was the public
sentiment in Virginia, at least, that those
terms would have been accepted. When
the war begun but a few thought it would
last six months. The six months have
sone. The United States have endured de-
feat after defeat, made sacrifice after sacri-
fee. and have closed an unsuccessful cam
paicn without the slightest sign of an APP
proach to reason. The Peace party of the
North, like the Union party of the South,
has entirely disappeared. The whole PEG
pie are completely under the hand of the
Government, and ali together, people and
Government, are bent on the prosecution of
this war. even if the consequence be col
iision with England and National bank
1uptcy. Under this impulse they have
steadily increased, and are still increasing
their vast regular force. Not less than
100000 men are enlisted for an indefinite
period, and equivalent in all parts to reg
!. Alar army"
After charging upon the faults of all
militia and volunteer systems, to which
alone the South has hitherto resorted, the
Eramiaer says that " the only way to meet
the North with any prospect of success is to
raise regular army, by some means resem-
bling the subscriptions of all other nations
in the world except England and America"
claiming that by this means $500, 900 men
could be put in the field. ~. !. Tribune.

THE HoIIDAYs-Two weeks more and the
dawning of a new year will be upon us. The
swiftness with which time flies is beyond reali-
zation. 1t seems but yesterday that we were
impatiently awaiting the merry times attendant
upon these annual reunions, as they might be
called-Chris.mas and New Years-last year.
Again are at the same period, but under
entirely different circumstances. Then, all was
buoyant for there was something more ahead
than the mere empty name. Now, the solitude
of the wilderness is as inviting as are the pros
poets of "good time the coming Holidays.

E There are two remarkable instances
of the character of our Northern troops
that are worth noticing, which have re-
Gently come under observation in regard to
the troops sent South with the great expe-
Gition. The first is the fact that there
were sent to New York from Port ROYAL,
$4,000 letters, being on an average one
letter to each soldier. We venture to say
that in no army of the world is there such
degree of intelligence and social and in
tellectual refinement, as in the hosts of
freedom gathered from the Northern States.
The other fact, as creditable to their hearts
as the former is to their heads, is that they
have already been paid 100000, and have
sent home to their wives and children more
than two-thirds of this sum. With such
! men, intelligent and loving, never forget
ting the ties which bind them to their
homes in the Northern States, who can
doubt the final issue in the process of solu-
ton?

The Courier claims to be the organ
and champion of the Union men OF Holt
County. and seeks an endorsement from
every one of those public meetings which
it snimadverts SO strongly against. If the
course it has taken has not been the very
one to discourage, dishearten and break
down the Union party in Holt County,
thev must be an indomitsble set indeed.
But the troops are scouting through that
region, the sensitive secessionists are sha-
king and scampering, and the Union SEN
timent is greatly predominant. Under
these circumstances, we confidently ex-
pect to see the Courier come out this
week fuller than ever of Union blood and
thunder. When Government fully tri-
umphs, and treason is forever squelched,
it strikes us that man will have a much
better opinion of himself for having pur-
sued straightforward, fearless course,
than to have veered about with every
change of the wind. The latter course
may serve to retain the patronage of SEN
sitivs traitor business men but there is
. future to look forward to.
For Gods sake, Conklin, be either q
man or a mouse
