Rebel Leaders.

Col. John W. Forney writes from
London under date of May 29th, that
at the hotel in that city (Langham
HOtel) where he is stopping, may be
frequently seen John C. Breckenridge,
of Confederate Government memory {:
that he has no intention of trying to
struggle against fate by attempting to
re-establish himself at home and that
he regards the claims of Rebels in the
South to their old political "rights"
Under the Federal Constitution as the
coolest piece Of assurance imaginable.
Judah P. Benjamin is practising law
in London, and is the counsel ofC. K.
PrOleau of Liverpool, the chief finan-
cial manager in England for the Con-
federacy. Benjamin also ofilciates as
American editor of the London Tele-
graph. He never intends to trust his
neck on this side of the Atlantic
Geoge N. Sanders is in London, "dead
broke" financially as we'll as politi-
calIy, and is in process of grinding
through the courts of bankruptcy
Wigfall is also in London, collecting
lists of owners of Confederate cotton
bonds, sanguine in the belief that the
Reb's were entitled TO beIIigerent rights
during the late war, and that the
United States Government will be
compelled in the end to assume the
of the bonds. Toombs was
also recently in London, proud and
poor, bnt in him no one would have
easily recognized the Senatorial ThuH-
derer of the old days before the war.

A New Island in the Pacific

A New island in the Pacific.
It is reported that new island has
been discovered in the North Pacific
ocean, between so deg. west longitude,
and 40 deg. 80 min. north latitude,
twenty miles long. It is exactly in
the track of vessels bound to this port
from China and Japan. Fogs and
misty weather prevail in that section
of the Pacific. 1t is supposed that
many missing vessels have been
wrecked there. The discovery is con-
sidered of sufficient importance to JUS
tify the Government in dispatching a
vessel to locate the exact position of
the island. A company has been or.
ganized in San Francisco to survey the.
island, and they will send vessels this
week to examine and take possession
of it.
