sgThe fugitive rebel general and
Secretary of War, John G. Breckenridge
has at last been heard from. By the
steamship Eagle, we learn that he was
in Havana on the 18th inst, where he
arrived from Cordenas, in company with
Taylor Wood, formerly commander of
the pirate Tallahassee; Colonel Wilson,
one of JEFF Davis late aids, three rebel
soldiers and negro servant. These
worthless were all near JEFF. Davis when
he was captured, but managed to elude
the national troops and travelled across
the States of Georgia and Florida to the
coast where they secured small boat
and put to sea, arriving at Cordenas on
the 18th inst, after three days and nights
passed almost entirely without eatin g
or sleeping. At Cordenas they were
serenaded and received marked attention
from the Spanish Governor and people.
They expected to stay in Havana for
some time. The rebel Gen. Slaughter,
lately in command at Brownsville, Tex
as, was also in Havana, having arrived
on board steamer from Matamoras.

A FoREIGN VIEW OF THE NATIONAL
CREDT.-The Algemeine Zeitung, a lead
ing paper in Germany, in discussing the
question Of our national finances, pre-
sents an entirely new view of the subject
and one which will forcibly impress all
rejecting minds. The Zeitung observes
that curing a period of fifty years we
have had no war have not been compell-
ed to maintain large standing army,
such as England, France, and all the
continental countries maintain, and that
the expenditures which have thus been
saved to the people, have more than paid
the whole debt occasioned by the war.
Our German contemporary figures up the
expenses of the war, and the profits ac-
cruiDg from the non. maintenance of
standing army, thus
On a European basis, the United States
from 1911 to 1861, would, relatively to
their population, have maintained an
average standing army of one hundred
thousand This at ono thousand
dollars per man would have amounted,
in fifty years, to $5,000,000,00o. But
this is not all. The labor of these one
hundred thousand men not Withdrawn,
| as in Europe, from productive industry,
may be put at $500 per year-making in
fifty years 81 500,000,O00. We are to con-

The Presihcnt's Policy.

We hear great deal, just now, about
the policy of the President. Not only
do the Copperheads make quite fuss
about this subject, but Republicans some
times, seem to think that there is radi-
cal difference in the party on this subject
The most of all this noise about the Pres
ident's policy, however, seems to us but
a weak effort to get "bit of an office" +"
or at least some government patronage.
For our part, we would deem it more
manly to go right to the President and
upon our bended knees ask for a few
erums. We must confess that we are en-
tirely ignorant of the character of Presi-
dent johnson, if he has any more admi-
ration for the time serving-spirit mani
tested by some, than we have. Free dis
cussion and a just regard for the express
ed will of the majority is the strength of
Republican Government The Repub-
lican party will always be willing to
square its conduct by these principles,
and those, whether in the party or out
side of it, who attempt to violate these
principles, will realize when it is too late,
perhaps, that they have oaly been work
ing out their own misfortune
As to our opposition to the policy of
President Johnson, we have to say, that
we have confidence in him as President;
but, he is only one branch of the Gov
ernment. Thore is also Judiciary and
Legislative department. 1t takes these
different parts to make a whole This is
a Democratic Government,--the voice of
the people, as constitutionally expressed,
is the supreme law. We have no doubt
that candy johnson adheres to this theo-
| ry 1t is his duty to suggest, or if you
please, to offer to the rebel States terms,
upon the acceptance of which they can
come back into the Union as Sovereign
States But after experiments have been
made, and we find that things are no
assuming proper shape, it is the right of
the people to demand a change of policy.
This principle of the right of the people
to influence the Executive was rccogniz-
ed, even by the "Tyrant" Lincoln, as
they called him. Congress being inime-
diately elected by the people, is supposed
to reflect their Judgment; when Congress,
therefore, undertakes to express that will
the executive that will not respect it will
be expected to have good APOLOGY for
not doing so, OF he will come to grief,
sooner or later President johnson is
too wise for that. $50 ftlgl4Hi

about the Presidents policy by our Dem

Adyaacing.

Our neiglbor of the Herald, thinks
that we have been advancing lately in
our political sentiments We think if he
will look over his own columns, he will
perceive equal progress. Before the elec-
tion, every appeal that could be made to
the prejudices of its readers were made,
to induce them to vote square, against
negro suffrage, &c. After the election
he at once announced that, on that issue,
they had been beaten before the people,
aud as good citizens, having arespeet for
the constitutionally expressed will of
the majority, they cheerfully submitted
to the voice OF the people This is ex-
actly our position today. Neither before
nor after the election have we expressed
our opinion on the negfo suffrage ques-
ton. But being informed by the Herald,
that the issue had been decided in the
affirmative, and that it was the duty of
all good citizens to submit. We most
cheerfully yielded to the popular verdict,
as announced by our neighbor. ff"H

BD- j. H. Reagan, Ex- Postmaster
General of the so called Confederacy,
recently liberated from Fort Warren, has
written an address to the people of Texas;
his native State, urging them to lay asid e
their prejudices and accept their new
situation willingly. He urges upon them
as the only safeguard against future trou-
Bile, the adoption of the principle of per-
feet equality before the law, "manhood
suffrage" and all. In speaking of til is
essay and its author, The Nation remarks
that, Mr.. Reagan betrays no prejudices
against the negro, accepts him implicitly
as a part Of the American people, and
expects, from the general docility Of his
disposition, that he would be in the main
an industrious citizen. "The holding Of
these views" it remarks, is not perhaps
an Offset for participation in trerson, and
revolt, but is be tier excuse for open
prison doors, than any oath yet taken
by southern lips"
