tho United States' Senate, with the unanl
inous concurrence of every member who voted
--certain disguised secessionists dodging the
call of the ayes and noes expelled John C.
fcreckinrldge, late Vice President of the Unit
ed States, and tho special pet of the biggoted
"democrats," from his seat in that body. The
parallel between him and Burr is now com
plete, says the Lancaster Union, except that
Breckinridge is by far the viler and moro
picked traitor of. the two, having actually
taken up arms against the Government which,
at four times repeated, he, wilh solemn oath
and appeal to heaven, vowed to support, and
even now, in tbe face of the more than once
ascertained majority, of tho people oi Ken
tucky, is leading troops for the purpose of re
dlining his native State to subjection to rebels
whom she has repudiated, and. traitors whom
sho scorns and defies. Such is the end to
which thi8aman of unholy ambition has so
early attained. Flattered and puffed up by self
seeking and mercenary politiciansthey have
betrayed: him to his ruin, and he now stands
branded before the world with tho infamous
mark of Cain,' Catiline, Judas and Arnold.
.Even bis own colleague in the Senate rebel
at heart as he is dared not record his vote
against his expulsion. Bayard and Saulsbury,
who misrepresent loyal Delaware Pearce who
has fallen from his.high estate to the low. mean
ness of - holding a scat from Union-loving
Maryland in tho interest ot secession John
son and Polk, thinly .disguised traitors from
Missouri, and Bright, who ought to be com
pelled to follow Breckinridge and give Indi
ana a chance to have a trne man foSenalor
all shining lights of "the great Democratic
Party," sat mute in their eeats, or ingloriously
fled the Senate Chamber wben just execu
tion was done on . Bredkinridge. : Tho papers
ot that party which only a little more than a
year age supported tho expelled traitor for
President, are now silent as the grave when
ho is indignantly driven from the Senatorial
scat which he polluted with treason. If they
dared,they would protest and condemn if they
spoke their real sontimcntst they would justi
fy his treason ; as it is, they are as really trea
sonable at heart, as the man wbose election to
the Chief Magistracy of the Union they so re
cently supported. ,
Letters of Marqce. A telegraphic dis
patch fibm New York, states that the Mexi
can government is issuing letters ot marque,
and that - several are now held by parties in
that city. These letters grant the privilege
of preying . upon the commerce of England,
Franco and Spain, which -governments are
about inaugurating a war upon tbe Mexicans.
Several vessels are said to be fitting ont at the
port of New York to sail under the Mexican
flag, with the privilege of bringing prizes into
neutral ports. This act is justified in view of
the decission of tbe British Government, which
allows the pirate Nashville to fit out at South
ampton for the avowed purpose of preying up
on the commerce of American citizens.
Foreign Nations and the War. The doc
mentB from the Stato Departments, submitted
to Congress, disclosed the important fact that
our Government now occupies tbe same posi
tion that it held in reference to foreign Gov
ernments at the beginning of the rebellion,
and(that though the United States early offered
to accept the Paris declaration in reference to
privateering, both England and France desired
to make an exception in favor of tho Jeff Da
vis Confederacy, to which tbe Government
has refused to yield, leaving tbe United States
Ireo from any obligation to accept tho Paris
declaration, while the. few rebel privateers are
now fugatives on the high seas, or are lying
idle in Southern harbors. - , -
Insake. A dispatch from Baltimore says
"that Capt. Thomas, the famous 'French lady'
who captured the steamer St. Nicholas on the
Chesapeake about the first of July last, has
become insane at Fort McIIenry." Whether
the Captain will bo sent away after an apology
"in the politest kind of a manner,' for the
brief interruption," the dispatch does not
state.
Kehtcckt U. S. Senator. On tho 10th
December, Garrett Davi? was elected to 011
the vacancy in the Kentucky delegation in
the Senate, caused by the expulsion of tho
traitor John C. Breckinridge. Mr. Davis was
an old line Whig and a devoted friend of Henry
lay. . . , .

THE SECBETAEY Off THE TBEASTJBY.
. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
is a comprehensive and valuable document,
conservative and cautious in the changes it
recommends and clear: and positive in tbe
enunciation tf those sound principles of finan
cial policy which framed the sub-treasury law
efd Vetoed the United States Bank.- The
secretary states, as the principle for regula
ting the amount of revenue "indispensable to
a sound system of finance" which "reflection
has only determined" in bis mind as just and
for tbe interest of the people, "taxation to pro
" duce enough lor ordinary expenditures, for
prompt payment of interest on the public
" debt, existing and authorized, and a surplus
fund sufficient to extinguish the principal
" within thirty years." . Mr. Chase rivets tuis
clear exposition of the American national
system of paying debts, as distinguished from
that of European governments, with the fol
lowing emphatic sentence : "The idea ot per-
pet u a 1 debt is not of American nativity,and
should not be naturalized." ;
The tariff is recommended to be advanced
as follows : brown sugar, two and one-half
cents per pound; clayed sugar, three cents;
green tea, twenty cents ; and coffee, five cents.
No other changes are proposed.
Thd-direct tax on property is recommend
ed to be $20,000,000 from the loyal states ;
and, furthermore-, 520,000,000 by . duties on
stills aud distilled liquors, on tobacco, on bank
notes, on carriages, on - legacies, on paper
evidences of debt and instruments for con
veyance of property, and other like subjects
of taxation; also $10,000,000 fromlhe income
tax, making the total yearly product of direct
taxation, other than customers, amount to
$50,000,000 per annum. ' ' '
- The proceeds of custom duties are estimated
at $32,198,662, and from lands and miscellane
ous sources, $2,354,0G2. The total Irom all
other sources except direct taxation is estima
ted at $40,000,000, and from direct taxation
$50,000,000, making the yearly revenue $90,
000,000. On this subject the secretary gives
the following interesting remarks and calcula
tions :
"But if the sum is large, the means of the
people are also large ; and the object to be
attained by a consecration of a portion of
them to tho public service is priceless. The
real pioperty of the loyal states is valued, in
round numbers, at seven and a half thousands
of millions,the personal property at three and
a half thousands of millions, and the annual
surplus of earnings of the loyal people at not
less than three hundred millions ot dollars.
Four mills oft each dollar, or two-fifthe of one
per cent, on the real and personal property of
the loyal states, wjll produce forty-four millions
of dollars ; to which sum the proposed rncome
tax will probably add ten millions. 1 he whole
sum will be little more than one-sixth of the
surplus earnings of the country."
The secretary explains that the July esti
mates of expenditure were based on an army
of 250;000 men, which Congress afterwards
increase to 500,000.
The existing appropriations, loans, and es
timated revenue for the year- ending June 30,
1862, are estimated at $329,501,094, and the
expenditures a4 $543,400,422. This will re
quire further loans for $213,901,427, but
$200,000,000 will probably be enongb.
For the year ending June 30, 18G3, the ex
penditures and interest on debt are estimated
at $45,331,245, and the receipts from cus
toras and taxation at $9-5,800,000, " leaving a
balance to raise by loans of $39,431,215.
Tbe whole amount required from loans may,
therefore, bo thus stated :
For the j'ear 1842, under ex
isting laws, $5,443,C7o,0U
For the fiscal year of 18G2, un
der laws to be enacted, 200,000,00U.0U
For the fiscal year 18G3, also
under laws to be enacted, 39,531,Z4.51
Making an aggregate of, . $654,920,939,51
If the war lasts until June 30, 18G3, and
theso estimates prove correct, the national
debt on that day will be $900,000,000.
The statement, in brief, is as follows :
On the first day ot July. 1860,
the public debt was, $64,769,703.08
On the first day of Julv. 1861,
the public debt was, yu.8o ,88.oa
On the first day of July; 1862,
the public debt will be, 517,3
On tflie first day of July , 1863,
the pnblio debt will bo, 897,372,802.93
Mr. Chase, in his remarks on bank circula
tion, gives an unqualified adherence to the
principle of specia payments'as indispensable
to sound banking, and condemns the further
use of United States demand notes by gov
ernment. The plan which he recommends is
prudent, safe for the public interests, and un
der the judicious control of practical business
men, may bo made the instrument for a
thorough regeneration of our bank note cur
rency. The following are its suggestions :
"Its principal features are, (1st) a circulation
of notes bearing a common impression, and
authenticated by a common authority ; (2d)
the redemption or these notes by the associa
tions and institutions to which they may be
delivered for issuo ; and (3d) the security of
that redemption by the pledge or United
States stocks, and an adequate provision of
specie.
"In" this plan the people, in their ordinary
business, would find the advantges of unifor
mity in currency ; of uniformity in security :
of effectual safeguard, if effectual safeguard
is possible, against depreciation ; and of pro
tection from losses in discounts and exchanges ;
while in the operations of the government the
people would find the further advantage of a
large demand for government securities, of
Increased facilities for obtaining the loans re
quired by the war, and of some alleviation of
the burdens on Industry through a diminution
of the rate of interest, or a participation in
the profit of circulation, without risking the
perils ot a great money monopoly.
"A further and important advantage to the
people may be reasonably expected in the
increased security of the Union, springing
from tho common interest In its preservation,
created py me distribution of its stocks to
associations throughout the country, as the

The Latest News.
From KENTuefKr. The Cincinnati Times
saj s, the last blunder in Kentucky was that
made by Capt. Dillon.which resulted in leaving
the way open, whereby the forces of the ene
my, under Zollicoffer, 10,000 strong, secured
a footing on the north sido of the Cumberland
river, below Somerset, compelling our troops
to fall back and take a defensive position. It
appears that Gen. Shoeff learned of the ene
my's designs, and ordered Captain DilIon,wItb
one company of Kentucky cavalry, to proceed
immediately to Mills' Springs, fourteen; miles
distant, which was the threatened point, send
ing the 17th Ohio, Col. Connell, and a battery
of artillery, in the rear, with orders to reach
the spot as soon as possible. Notwithstanding
it was known that the enemy contemplated
crossing that night, and that great baste was
necessary ,Captain Dillon baited his men,after
proceeding seven miles, and encamped ; and
when the infantry and artillery came up, they
followed his example, and the result was, that
by sunrise the next morning tbe enemy was
north of the river in full force, and our troops
returned to headquarters. As Gen. Shoeff
had but about 'three thousand men, he was
compelled to fall back this side of Somerset,
intrench himself, and await reinforcements.
If we expect to carry on this war successfully
discipline must be enforced, and there is no
breach so criminal, and so disastrous, as that
which permits the enemy to gain advantages
by movements which might be prevented. A
reinforcement of 5,000 men could not have
strengthened Zollicoffer so effectually as tho
advance he was permitted to make.
The Sumter and the Iroquois. The brig
S. W. Kowland, Capt. Rowland arrived ' at
New York on the 12th, from St. Thomas,Nov
27th. Capt. S. states that the captain of tho
Iroquois is entirety to blame for the escape of
the pirate Sumter from Port Royal and Mar-
tique. A man was sent ashore at Port Royal
from the island to signalize tbe movements of
the pirate, and on the night of the 23d he
made signals that sho was leaving tho harbor,
but no notice was taken of it by the captain
of the Iroquois. His First Lieutenant tried
to persuade bim to give chase, which could
easily have been done, as the Sumter draws a
foot more water than the Iroquois, but he
would not-hear to it saying it would be very
unpleasant for him to capture her as he and
Semmes had been school-mates, and Senimes
had been his former superior officer ; also that
he did not want to break the neutrality laws.
The movements of the pirate were plainly
seen from the deck of the lroquois,the former
taking a southerly course. The Captain of
the Iroquois then gave orders to proceed to
St. Thomas, not making the least effort to
capture the pirate after lying off" that port
several days for that sole purpose. The great
est indignation prevailed among Americans
and others friendly to the United States, iv lien
the facts became known at St. Thomas. .
. Fort Pickens. A letter from a party on
board the Richmond dated Nov. 23d says, that
that vessel commenced bombarding Fort McRea
on the, morning of the 22d, and while the
writer complimenting the Captain of one of
tbe guns on the accuracy of his aim, a shell
bounded through our bulwarks, took off the
Captain's head and wounded six men. The
shell on exploding raised fho ship out of the
water and made her stagger like a drunken
man. Another shell bursted six feet below
the water line, causing a bad leak, kept tbe
vessel free. The Richmond moved out of
range the next morning, but the Niagara still
kept at them, but being outside of the enemy's
guns she cannot be injured. Fort Pickens,
np to date, had lost but one man killed and
seven wounded. Fort McRea is much dam
aged but we cannot destroy it with our smooth
bore guns, as they are no match for the ene
my's rifled cannon. The result of the fight
may be briefly stated thus : v Two rebel boats
were sunk, and others disabled; Warrington
and the Navy yard were burned ; tbe flag-staffs
of Fort McRea and Barancas were shot away ;
the former fort was badly injured, and the
latter is in the power of Fort Pickons, as soon
as reinforcements arrive in sufficient numbers
to enable Col. Brown to hold the place when
taaen.
Battle in Western Virginia. A special
dispatch from Cheat Mountain to the Cincinnati
Commercial says thit on the 13th one of the
hardest and best fought battles of the war
ws fought at Allegheny camp, Pocohontas
county,Western Virginia. Gen. R. II. Milroy
commanded tbe Union troops and Gen. John
son, of Georgia, commanded the rebels. The
fight lasted from daylight till 3 o'clock P. M.
Tho Union loss is about thirty and the rebel
loss oyer two hundred, including a Major and
many other officers. Thirty prisoners were
captured. General Johnson, of Georgia, was
shot in the mouth, but not fatally injured.
The Twelfth Georgia regiment suffered most
severely. Gen. Milroy's force numbered 750
men, from the Ninth and Thirteenth Indiana,
the Twenty-fifth and Thirty-second Ohio and
the Second Virginia regiment. , Gen. John
son's forces numbered over 2000. The Ninth
Indiana fought bravely to tho last. After
driving the enemy into their barracks no less
than five times,our forces retired in good order.
Tho rebels set fire to their barracks and re
tired to Staunton.' Gen. Milroy, has'thus
driven the last of the rebel army out of Western
Virginia. .-.. -:
Another 'Traitor Surgeon James C.
IJerndon.who arrived at New York with Gwin
and Benham ; after gaining all the information
he could at Washington and elsewhere, made
his way to Virginia by way of Port Tobacco.
Much rejoicing was manifested on his arrival
at Fredericksburg, where his father resides.
It is said he took down a largo correspondence
and papers in abundance. He is a relative of
the Minors, Bottses; pnd Mercers, and our
unusually smart youth bl 25.!,' It is gratifying
to knowjthat after the escape oi this fine rebel
nag, our vigilant rulers looked the stable-door
by striking his' name from the U. S. service.
'Another Misrepresentation.' Letters from
Europe say that Dr. Russell, of the London
Times writes, "that the Administration is
becoming disposed to accept foreign medita
tion with a view to a compromise with the
South on a basis-of a separation." It is diffi
cult to conceive bow Mr. Russell should have
been deceived into the adoption of such an
idea. Neither the Administration nor any
one connected with it would ever accept such
mediation from any quarter, or a peace on
any basis but the complete submission of th
States in revolt to the authority of the United
States. . i . 5 ,' '' ' f i
Shocking Mcrdr. On the 10th, while the
2d Maryland regiment was drawn np for dress
parade in Baltimore, a private named Charles
Koons came from his tent,picked up a musket,
took' deliberate aim at Lieut. Wilson, fired,
and killed him on the spot. The deed was an
act . of revenge, Lieut. Wilson having shot a
friend of Koon's some time previous in an
attempt to run the pickets. Koans was taken
to Fort McIIenry.
Sedalia. A scouting expedition, composed
of a part of Merrell's horse,and two companies
of regular cavalry, who went asfar as Waverly,
have returned and brought as prisoners 4 cap
tains, 2 lieutenants and 40 rebel privates.
They also captured one mortar and a large
number of hoes aud wagons. The man wbo
hauled down the American flag after Col. Mul
ligan's surrender, has been arrested at Scdalia
as a spy., . .
Maj.Slemmer. A letter from Iluttonsville,
Western Virginia, says : "I am sorry to state
that Maj. Slommar, of Fort Pickens' fame, is
not expected to live. He came here to in
spect the troops, but was attacked with the
camp fever and dissontery which nearly all
ot us have had and is uow lying in a preca
rious condition. ; Uis wife is here with him.
The doctor thinks he cannot live."
Retirisq -List. On "Thursday the . 12th a
bill was introduced into the Senate to pro
mote the efficiency ol tho Navy. It provides
for the retirement of officers who have been
on the register forty-five years, and authorizes
the president to select an officer from tile
grade of captain or commander and assign
him to the command of a squadron, With the
rank of flig-officer.
The Union Prisoners. A letter from Col.
Lee, dated at Richmond, says the cell in which
lie and the other hostages are confined is a
small and damp apartment with cold air draw-,
ing through continually. They have to pro
vide their own bads, the rebels allowing only
two coverlids to each bed. They are forbid
den visitors and all communication with other
prisoners.
Arkansas. Late news from Arkansas says
that the northern part of the State is loyal,
aud that love of the old flag the emblems ot
a united country yet glows and burns in
thousands of patriotic breasts.
Important News from England.
London, Dec. 1. The Observer stated that
the Government has demanded from President
Lincoln and bis Cabinet the restoration of the
persons of the southern envoys to tho British
Government.
l'esterday afternoon, after 5 o'clock p. m.,
her Majesty held a private council at Windsor
Castle. Three of her Ministers, including the
first Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretaries
of State and War travelled from London to
Windsor by special train to be present. Pre
vious to leavlng'town the three ministers had
attended a Cabinet council at Lord Palmer
ston's official residence.
Tbe Observer also says that a special mes
senger of the foreign office has been ordered
to carry to Washington the demands of the
British Government for Lbrd Lyons and will
proceed to day by packet from Queenstown.
Tbe public will be satisfied to know that these
demands are for an apology and to insist on
the restitution to the protection to the British
flag the persons of those who were violently
and illegally torn from that sacred asylum.
The Observer adds there is no reason why
they should not be restored to the quarter
deck of the British Admiral at New York, or
Washington itself in the face of some ten or
twelve men of war, whose presence in the Po
tomac would render the blustering Cabinet at
Washington as helpless as the Trent was be
fore the guns and cutlasses of the San Jacinto.
It is no fault of ours if it should come even
to this. :
' The arrangements for increasing the force
in Canada are not yet complete, but in a very
few hours everything will be settled. In the
meantime a large ship, the Melbourne, has
been taken up and Js now being loaded with
Armstrong guns, some 80,000 Enfield rifles,
ammunition, and other stores at Woolwich.,
It Is not impossible that this vessel will bo e
scorted by one or two ships of war. The rifles
are intended for the Canadian military, and a
strong reinforcement of field artillery will be
dispatched forthwith.
. The Timef city article of the 30th, says the
position of the Federal States of America, is
almost identical in every commercial point
with that which was occupied towards us by
Russia before the Crimea war. ' Russia had a
hostile tariff whilo we looked to her for a large
portion of our general supply of breadstuff's ;
but there is this peculiarity in our present
case, that the commencement would bo by tbe
breaking up of the blockade of tho southern
ports at once setting free our industry from
the anxiety of the cotton famine and giving
sure prosperity to Lancashire through, the
winter. At the same time we shall open our
trade to eight millions in the confederate
States, who desire nothing better than to be
our customers. . , '.' ..
- The London Times in alluding to the decis
ion of the British Cabinet, that the arrest of
Mason and Slidell is a clear violation of the
law of nations,' believes that Lord Lyons' will
be instructed by the first steamer to demand
reparation, and if not complied with, will be
instructed to withdraw the legation"' from.
