INCIDENT IN BRECKENRIDGE'S SEA
ATORIAL CAREER.

INCIDENT Nv BRECKENRIDGE'.SS EN-
ATORIAL CAREER.
In his Anecdotes of Public Men," Col Forney
has the following
Perhaps the most dramatic scene that ever took
place in the Senate chamber, old or new, was be-
tween Breckenridge and Col +. ID. Barker OF
Oregon on Aug. l, 1861, five days before the adj
journment sine die, in the darkest period OF the
war, when the rebellion was most defiant
and hopeful. The last week of that July was full
of excitement in Congress and the country, and |
know how much labor and patience 1t required to
keep alive the hopes of our people. The course
of Powell and Breckenridge Of kentucky and
Bright Of Indiana, in opposing the government,
had nearly obliterated party feeling in the Senate.
McDougall of California, Rice of Minnesota,
Thompson of New Jersey, all Democrats, had de-
clared for force to crush the rebellion. These
men were especially emphatic, though closely en-
deared to Breckenridge. Thompson OF New Jer-
sey spoke loud and firm from his seat-"l shall
vote for the bill as q war measure-I am in IA
vor of carrying the war to crush out the rebel
lion" The same day McDougall questioned the
right of Powell of Kentucky to his seat in the
Senate. Andrew johnson reiterated his determ-
instion to stand by the Tag to the last. Carlisle
of West Virginia would vote for force to put
down the rebel foe. 1t was in the midst of this
feeling that Breckenridge rose to make his last
formal indictment against the government. Nev-
err shall forget the scene. Baker was senator
and soldier. lie aternated between his seat in
the capitol and his tent in the field. He came in
at the eastern door while Breckenridge was
speaking) in his blue coat and fatigue cap riding
whip in hand. He paused and listened to the
polished treason" as he afterwards called it, of
the senator from Kentucky, and when he sat down
he replied with fervor never to be forgotten
ss** An amusing episode followed the debate.
Breckenridge thought it was Sumner who ans
wered Bakers interregatory, "What would have
been done with Roman Senator guilty of such
treason I" by exclaiming that ole would have
been hurled from the Tarpeian rock" And he
denounced the Massachusetts senator in severe
and angry Saxon. When Breckenridge discov-
cred that it was Fessenden and not Sumner who
had given this response he did not complain of
the first nor apologize to the second.

PORTLAND, May 20 lS1j.
TO tie Editor IF The htnnebec Jouih0l.
The Advertiser Of thi; city made the distinct
unqualified assertion, a few days since, through a
correspondent, that "Mr Blaine, in violation OF
the rules Of the Council was present when the
vote confirming Mr. Libbey was taken ms
has already been corrected by the Press and by
your paper an able to state on the express au,
thority of three members Of the Council, that there
is no shadow of foundation for the statement, one
of them asserting that lie had never seen Mr..
Blaine in the council chamber at any time,
even when no session was being held.
Ny object in writing this note is to say that in
Portland there is no belief whatever that the Ad-
,eriser has any responsible correspondent behind
the statement. Moreover the fact can be subssan-
tiatcd think that the communication purportlng
to come from Augusta was written in the Adver-
tiser office, and that Mr.. Richardson is personally
responsible for the manufacture and publication
of the totally unfounded statement referred to. If
he is not let him give the name Of his correspond
emit If Mr.. Richardson thinks he can invent and
circulate gratuitous ISLANDERS of this kind he may
find himself mistaken. At all events he will be
exposed and denounced by BRAMHALL.

4 HISTORY or THE WORLD.

Mr.. Evert a. Duyckinck, a literary knckerbo-
cker, of the ancient regime who was the assocl-
ate and bosom friend of the late Washington lrv-
ing, is now engaged in editing "a History OF the
World" which is already in course of publication
by Mcssrs johnson, Wilson & Co., New York
The book is to be so ID in monthly parts, by sub
scription of 80 cents each and to be delivered
monthly. -Four parts are already issued and ready
for delivery. Mr. d. d. Ames, the agent for the
work is now canvassing in this city for subscnb-
ers The book is in all respects one which should
find large sale. Apart from the interest and
value of the letter press prepared by the editor
the series will possess peculiar attraction IN the
number and richness of the engravings with which
the pages are embellished. Some Of these engrav
ngs are fine portraits Of illustrious men and wo
men the foremost figures of their periods OF his
tory. The engraved heads of Victoria, Prince
Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm, the first and third Ma
poleons and Others are very spirited and interest
ing. Besides there are copies of historic paint
ings some of which are of worldwide fame and
all of exceptional interest; such as jerome
death of Caesar" and "The Conversion of Con
stantinc," and many others. The publication pre-
sents every claim on popular favor, and the series
when complete, will constitute splendid addition
to any library or drawing room centre table, MIR
Ames will remain in the city for several days, and
will visit our citizens, who will find it for their ad
vantage to subscribe for the volume.

Tap!ey, one of Wasner's counsel, intends 10 ap,

legality Of the warrant issued for his execution.
The law states that copy of the evidence in cap

ed, the Governor shall issue his warrant. Now
the Governor and Council that reviewed the case
have gone out Of office and another chosen which
