Floyd's Last Theft.

The maxim which recognizes "honor
among thieves" originated long before John
b. Floyd's time, and has fallen into discrodit
wherever he is known. Floyd has com.
mitted u; least two thofts since he lott Mr..
Buchanan's Cabinet. IIo mado good his es
cape from Western Virginia, by stealing tho
march Of tho Union troops that pursued
him. And now IL sooms that. whom tho
defcat of tho robolS at Fort DonoIson be.
camo imminent, true to the ruling passion.
aud not content with his formor thioving
achievements, he stole himself dTdy, Hkr a
thief in The night, leaving thousands of his
comrades to their fute. This is his last e. oat
great theft.
A dispatch says tho robcls at Fort Don
olson denounced Floyd as "black hearted
trailer and coward" Not long since, a
Richmond paper politely informed him that
Gov. Wise's record had no such blomish at
his, intmating that he was thief. 1t would
not be surprising if a liberal share of tn,
retributive justice which surely awaits him
and bis co-workers in treasou, should be deal
out at tho hands Of their outraged aut
deluded followers. .....- ....

Mr.. Snmner's Resolutions.

Mr.. Sumner has introduced, in the Senate, q
eeries of resolutions, declaring in substance thai
tho States in rebellion against the authority Of
the Federal Government, having renounced their
Constitutional allegiance, organized a Govern.
ment OF their own, aud sought 20 preserve il by
war, have, with all their pocnliar institutions,
Slavery included, ceased to exist MS Stntes and
that il is the duty OF Congress, in pursuance of
its paramount authority, TO provide territorial
governments for them, securing to all their in.
habitan,s the rights OF freemen. lie is expected
20 urge the adoption OF the resolutions in olab.
crate speech. Who're are weighty arguments in
their favor, and why need Congress hesitate to
adopt them The Rebel States have no Gov.
ernments tha; the Constitution recognizes, and
ther eforo no Constitutional existeueo ; yet the
authority of the Federal Government over oil the
territory Of the Union, still exists, and should bo
exercised In a manner consistent with the rights
Of humanity and the future peace Of the country.
Let not the opportunity pass unimpfoved!
The New York Tribune says TINT President
Lincoln, nfter nature deliberniicn, has arrived
