BREoKINRIDaB's LAST OFFICIAL Acr.-
7. P. Ochiltreeil of the Houston (Texas)
Telegraph, sends the following letter from
Paris
John G. Breckenridge, at a dejeuner
yesterday, told US Of his last act Of au.
thority as Secretary Of War. 1t was ON
the coast OF Florida-the General was
pursued by the Federal cavalry; they
were beating the country In every direc-
ton. A friend in need came to his res
cue-he twas one of Brevard's gallant
old regiment, Of the army Of Virginia.
He said : 'Gineral. / have an old boat
here that mout carry US to Kurby; any
how We'll try it on So he worked
away all that night raising the boat
from where he had sunk it to conceal it
from prowling Yankees. He worked
faithfully and energetically in patching
1t up and baillng 1t artlfcially finishing
1t up and putting in few provisions.
Gen. b. grasped the noble fellow by the
hand and said to him: Il will have but
few more hours of authority, but such
services as you have rendered your
country deserve reward. You shall be
a Major l will make out your commits
sion now. He was exceedingly thank
fui, but remained scratching his head in
a thoughtful attitude. 'Wellimy friend,
said the General. well, Gineral, thar's
Teller in our regiment what hain't done
nothin, and he is Major and Quarter
master, and ifiit is all the same to you,
would just like to rank him for onst.'
1t Is needless to say that the going iont'
Secretary sof War instantly wrote the
battle SCARED but humble hero acommis
sion as Lieutenant Colonel."i

The SCHENECTADY AND 0aDENsBURaH
R. R.-The Tribune OF the 9th, in its
money article, says.
The survey OF the railroad from
Schenectady to Ogdensburgh is COM
pleted. 1t was authorized by the Legis-
lature OF 1866, and $4,000 was appro.
priated to pay the expense. The route
selected Is said to be much shorter than
any heretofore selected from the Hudson
to the St. Lawrence. The route COM
mences at Schenectady, rune though Full
ton, Hamilton and st. Lawrence Coun-
ties, The country through which 1t
passes is not reached by any road, and
from the directness Of the route must be
the great thoroughiale for travel between
all this Northern region and the South.
The road is projected through section
that is rich in lumber, and much OF
which will make good farming coun-
try. In Hamilton county there is an I'M
usual growth Of pine timber, there being
no means to get it out.

lecture committee, for tickets to the
course OF lectures. at the rate OF sl.00
for q gents and Soc. for a lady's ticket"
Immediately about $3.50 was pledged,
and the course was commenced. Many
paid for more tickets than they wanted,
and gave them away, or left them with
the committee. A little more than 5000
was received and paid out. Three lee.
lures from townsmen were given era.

the rate OF sl5 and expenses; but several
OF the lecturers were generously disposed
TO take no travelling expenses. More
tickets We're sold as the course pro-
crossed, and the admittance at the door,
(l6c,) added TO the fund. Fifteen lectures
were delivered. II it would not be en-
croaching, We would give list OF the
men and their subjects. Suffice 1t to say
for the present that two OF your min
listers aud your high school teacher were
among the number, and very likely, may
be again. The people turned out better
and better the lectures were all profit
able, and there was little complaint OF
'dullness In the place. The influence upon
the community was not unimportant,
and some OF the people are beginning to
inquire If the like is net to be done this
fall also. The committee feel convinced
q shorter course would be better, (say
eight lectures), and that it is q privilege
rather than burden, TO pay something
for each lecture. or course, our SIS was
no pay for good lecture, but it was the
best we could do last year, and seemed
to be satisfactory 70 the gentlemen who
kindly came and addressed US. They
were all informed OF these facts when in
vited.
Now, Mr.. Editor there is an axe tc

county would go and do likewise, anC
communicate together, and cooperate, q

this suggestion will meet the hearty ap

daughter Of neighbor In very straight
ened circumstances. The girl was de-
livered of her child at the house OF q
woman In the vicinity, one OF those sim
gular characters about whom nothing
positively bad is really known, but one
whom everybody feels little doubtful
concerning, and the mention OF whose
name provokes grimace and shrug
OF the shoulders. They occasionally tell
'fortlns" by fairgrounds and "keerds;"
and fairly revel In cases OF gossip and
scan. mag. Wheeler OBLIGATED as doctor,
midwife and nurse, allowing no one to
to be present but himself. The child
lived three days, and by that time the
mother got so bad that Wheeler was
obliged to send for physician. While
the messenger was gone he placed the
child at the foot OF the bed, covered it
with pillow, and then lay down upon
It, OF course killing 1t. He then en-.
closed 1t in pine box, and buried it in
q teld, where the box was subsequently
ploughed up. The girl was spirited Off
to Hubbardton, VT, where Wheeler rep
resented TO family with whom he had
been In the habit Of stopping with
droves OF cattle (for he had previously
been drover), that the girl was sn i'm
portant witness for another man with
whom he had suit, In which q large
amount OF money was involved, and that
as long as she was away the action
could not be tried. An Indictment was
subsequently found, but OF course it
couldn't be tried as long as the cir. was
absent. Things remained Ia this con-
dition until sometime after Sheriff Nye
was in office, when hH accidently heard
that the girl was in Castleton. Repair
ing there, he found the Information was
correct, and Immediately arrested Wheel
er. A motion was made before Justice
Platt Potter to be admitted to bail, but
was not granted, the district attorney
| not being present. Application was
then made to Justice Ingalls, of Troy,
but was refused on the ground that it
had been denied by Judge Potter. 1t
was then tried before Justice Rosecrans,
who finally granted it, fixing the amount
of bail at $4,000. After some delay the
amount WAS procured, and he was at
last at liberty. 1t was expected to be
tried at the May term, but was put over
on the defendants application, IT. =

The Secretary Of the Navy has or
dered the court. martial Of al assistant
engineer at the Portsmouth navy yard,
on the charge that he said the President
ont to be impeached. 1t begins on
Wednesday. The result will probably
warrant Congress in looking into the
cause OF the secretarys action,
The health OF Secretary Browning is
better, and he has no thought OF resign
ing, To keep the Cabinet change theory
good, however, 1t is now asserted that
the place OF Secretary OF the Treasury
has been rendered to Robert J. Walker,
with the understanding that he may have
the place Immediately after the elections
next week,
Gen. Grant having refused to issue
artillery to the Maryland militia on
Gov. SWANS demand, Gov. Swami has
purchased batteries of IL pound Napoleon
brass guns for the artillery companies in
Baltimore. The guns have been assigned
10 three companies, the commanders OF
which were all In the rebel army.
The printing OF the impeachment
testimony has been suspended for the
present and will not be resumed until
the week previous to the assembling
OF Congress. This is deemed necessary
to prevent its being known before Its
presentation ts Congress. The obliga-
ton OF Secretary McCulloch, imposed on
the employees OF the government printing
cfflce, is not deemed sufficient to keep
the testimony out OF the hands OF news
paper correspondents.

This government is republic, where

in Chief Of our armies. No military au-
thority has been exercised in rebel states
not authorized by Congress and sane
toned by the laws of the land. Mill
