BRECKINRIDGE.
An Unpublished Incident of
His Life
A VindicatiOn of His Political
Life, and an Error
Corrected.

Now that Mr.. Crittenden has been
followed to the grave by the great and
good John G. Breckenridge, it may not
be improper to state an important fact
connected with the political history OF
these great Kentuckians, never before
published, which not only serves to il
lustraGe the modest worth of the latter,
but corrects an error in the political
history of meTica-an error connected
with one Of the most important Incl
dents, and linked with the most critical
and eventful period, of her existence.
In 1861, Mr.. Crittcnden and Mr.. Breck-
inridge were Senators from Kentucky.
The latter, impressed with the solcmnity
of the crisis then upon the country, and
apprchensive that civil war with its ac-
cOmpanying horrors, was about to des-
olate the country, drafted resolutions
looking to a peaceful settlement of our
difficulties. But his late political aflili-
atiOns, in his opinion, rendered it impOl-
itic Tor him to Introduce them, and he
selected Mr.. Crittenden to do so, who
after making very slight and I'M
important notifications, consented.
Mr.. Breckenridge supported them with
his whole heart, believing they would
cfiectually heal the breach between the
North and South, and when first intro
uuCtu5 tOllldCullS tA pcCItu LllClIl W bt
adopted. He was never willing to rob
Mr.. Crittenden of the credit, nor would
we deprive him even now of one sin
gle laurel justly his own, but the truth
of history, and justice to one of the
greatest and best men America has
ever produced, has prompted us to give
publicity to this important fact, which
comes TO us from an authentic source.
At this time, 1861, Mr.. Breckenridge was
regarded as an extreme mana seCes-
siOnist per sc, and for that reason he
thought his active championship of the
resolutions would defeat them. Mr..
Crittcnden was recognized as a wise and
eminently conservative statesman, and
the weight of his influence it was be-
lieved, would carry them through. Mr..
Breckenridge, however, was not the
extreme man he was supposed to be,
and partly in vindicatiOn of his eminent
ly conservative and wise views ut that
cventful period, we have made known
the fact that hc was the author of the ia
nous CriJtenden Resolutions in 1861.

DOOMED MISSOURI.
The GrasshOppers Devastating
the Country.

The State entomolOgist of Missouri
and other scientific men who have stud
led the grasshopper have predicted that
nothing but a late, cold, wet spring
could save that State from devastation
this year by the plague which reached
the extreme western counties late last
fall. During April and the early part
of May, it seemed as if prOvidential in
reference was backing the scientists,
but a week of dry, hot weather has let
loose the scourge, and every train and
mail brings additional intelligence OF
the work of ruin which is progressing
with terrible rapidity throughout al
most the entire western half of the
State. In Clinton, Platte, Clay, Jackson,
Cass, Lafayette and johnson counties,
where the swarms coming eastward
from Kansas arrived just in time to lay
their eggs and be cut down by the fall
frOsts, they have Matched out in incOm-
prehensible quantities, and are spread
ing all over the State, literally devOuring
every green thing in their way. Wheat
fIells are left bare as a plOwed field.
The gardens are stripped of every
thing. Even the bluegrass pastures
are gone over and cropped even with
the ground.
Reports from some o. the Kansas
counties say IuaL inc STddSSlOpp6IS
have begun on the fruit trees, and are
devOuring leaves, blossoms and buds.
The farmers of the stricken counties
in Missouri have fought the pest in
every way. At meeting held in the
southern part of Jackson county, last
week, one farmer reported that he had
ditched and destroyed one hundred and
twenty bushels of grasshOOppers in
thra e days work, but the war has no
apparent effect upon the countless
swarms, and they seem to increase in
discouraging proportion to the destruc-
ton. Many of the farmers in the
stricken counties are utterly hopeless.
The cattle and horses are collected in
herds and drOyes and driven southwest
to Arkansas and the Indian Nation for
pasturage. Missouri is likely to feel
the necessity of going deep into the
State Treasury to keep her unfortunate
people from starvation, long before cold
weather comes. There seems now no
other prospect than that the State will
be completely overrun, and the swa-ms
may be expected to reach Southern
Illinois between the 10th and Both of
July.

Frazier's Murderer Escapes.

The Banner, one day last week, con-
tanned a sensational account of the escape
Of 10 Reed, the murderer of officer
Frazier. The account said that Reeds
fall from the bridge was broken by a
tree, through the branches of which he
fell gently to the ground, and he then
rolled into the river, swan under the
cover Of darkness down the stream,
nd landing below, took refuge for the
night in a cabin, where Il physician of
Nashville dressed his wounds, and he
departed in a closed carriage the next
morning for parts unknown. The tale
was plausible and was doubtless be-
licvcd by many, and this belief was
strengthened into knowledge the next
morning by the following item in the
4. G 4 Our Dcadrick street con-
temporary did not give, yesterday, all
the facts connected with Reeds miraCu-
lous escape. Before the lynchers hus-
tied him of to the bridge, he had been
provided with one OF Capt. BOyntOn's
swimming suits, which he wore under
his clothes. As soon as he touched the
water he turned over on his back,
lighted cigar and padded leisurely
down to y Orleans, from which city he
writes ms that he has got a good paying
Job of work on EadS' ietties. It makes
as mad to think of all the abuse that
has been heaped upon Nashville because
of that little practical joke the boys
played on Reed.
The Banner of Sunday, irritated by
the above thrust, comes back with an
interview with DR.. lIogle, we'll known
physician of Nashville, who asserts pos
itively that he dressed Reeds wounds
and that he certainly was alive and al
most we'll. Other information from al
legged reliable authority corrOborates
this and gives full particulars of Reeds
escape. On Tuesday IL reiterates these
statements, and gives fresh evidences of
their truthfulneSs, in Il letter from
Franklin, where Reeds mother lived,
showing that he passed through there
tive or three nights after he was shot to
death, hanged till he was dead, and then
drowned.
The L. Il A. of Sunday has a letter
from man two hundred miles below
Nashville, giving the full particulars of
the finding of Reeds body and its safe
deposit four feet underground. On
Tuesday it says that the Coal Tar
Bank had received a letter from Reed
asking a loan, and that the Directors
had sat up all the previous night, pass
ing upon his proposition. Their de-
alterations were i'm the dark, however,
and il is not known what they did.
Reed is either dead or alive, certain.
II he is hC oughtn't to ne, and If he
isn't he ought to be.
