THE Carson APPEAL, which should be
youthful and blooming, is gray with age
ere it arrives here We received Wednes-
days APPEAL on Thursday. and to-day
the issue of yesterday morning. Just as
soon have weekly exchange as such

Gold Hill NetgS.
The mail is at fault. We made q
special trip to the Post-office yesterday
and found ont to our surprise and dis
gust that the only mail which is sent
from here to Virginia City and Gold Hill
is put on board the mail train at night,
taken hence to Reno and thence con-
veyed past here, the mex. morning, on
its way to Virginia City. We will en-
! deavor to have our Storey county ex-
changes and subscribers papers sept,
henceforth by more direct and eEpedl-
.ious conveyance. This is an interest
ing postal service, The distance from
here to Virginia is fourteen miles by
wagon road and twenty-one miles by
rail; and vet you may deposit your let
tiers ana papers in the Carson pOst-ottlce

moruin--twenty-fo hours atter-will

Virginia City. Now it seems 70 Us that
this is a very slipshod kiad Of mail

fault; that It is the fault OF the depart

AnecdOte OF Breckenridge.

An incident in Mr.. Breckinridge's Senate
rial career is thus related by COL Forney in
his Anecdotes of Public Mem:
Perhaps the most dramatic scene that ever
took place in the Senate Chamber, old OF
new, was that between Breckinridge and Col.
E. D. Baker, OF Oregon, on August 1, 1861,
FIVE days before the adjournment sine die, in
the darkest period Of the wal. 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 it required to
keep alive the hopes of our people. The
course of Powell and Breckenridge of Ken.
lucky and Bright of Indiana, in opposing the
government had nearly obliterated party
feeling in the Senate.
McDougall, Of California. Rice, of Mime
sofa, Thompson. Of New Jersey, ell Demo
Gratis had declared for force to crush the re-
bellion. These men were especially em-
phatic, though closely endeared to Breckin-
ridge. Thompson, OF New Jersey. spoke loud
and firm from his seat" shall vote for the
bill as q war measure-I am in favor of carry
ing on the war to crush out the rebellion. y
The same day McDosgall questioned the right
of Powell, of Kentucky, to bis seat in the
Senate. Andrew johnson reiterated his de-
termination to stand by the flag TO the last
AOANO
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 Govern
ment Never shall I forget the scene. Baker
was q Senator and soldier.
He alternated between his seat in the
Capitol and his tent in the field. He came in
~ the eastern door (while Breckenridge was
speakine) in his blue coat and fatigue cap
riding.whip in hand. He paused and listened
to the "polished treason" as he afterward
called it, of the Senator from Kentucky, and
when he sat down, he replied with fervor
never TO be forgotten. An amusing
episode followed the debate Breckinridge
thought it was Summer who answered Baker q
interrogatory, "What would have been done
with . Roman Senator guilty Of such
treason 2" by exclaiming that HE would
have been hurled from The Tarpeian Rock !; -
and he denounced the Massachusetts, Senator
in severe and angry Saxon. When BHckin-
ridge discovered it was Fessenden and not
Sumner Who had given this response. he did
not complain Of the Ant nor apologize 70 the
second.
