Mew York, Friday, July 6, 1850. ‘The News. By the arrival of the Persia at this port, the Parana at St. Johns, and the Etna off Cape Race, we have news from Europe to the 27th ult.—one yreek later than the advices previonsly received. | The intelligence is interesting. Quiet prevailed in Sicily. Garibaldi had or- | ganized an expedition against Messina, the strong. | hold of the royalists. It was expected that the expe dition would march on the 28th ult. The Neapoli Council have, it is reported, resolved to grant very liberal concessions to the people. These inelnde a general amnesty, a constitution, a free press, and also an alliance with Piedmont; but the k vould not assent to these joint propositions. It is said that the Neapolitan government had determined to surrender the two captured American vessels, but our Minister insisted upon reparation for the insutt offered to the American flag. The Russian and Spanish Ambassailors have threatened to withdraw from Turin unless the Sar- dinian government puts a stop to the filibuster The State of Europe—Deeny of Dynasties in the Old and New Worlds. We concede a large portion of space to day | to our European correspondence, and the pamphlet of Mons. About, “Prussia in 1890,” | which together give a picture of the great poli- tical movement that is going on all over that | continent. Since 1849 Europe has been maintained in a state of equipoise between revolution and reac- tion, during which the dynasties have been crumbling—just as in this country, during very | neatly the same period of time, political parties have been disintegrating—leaving princes in | the Old Werld and professional politicians in , the New equally puzzled as to which way to face or on what ground to endeavor to maintain their positions. The intelligence of the masses of mankind everywhere has been stirred to an unwonted degree to the abandonment of old for- | mulas in idealism and old leaders in practice, by one of thore secret and electric impulses which emanate from unseen and unknown sources, and | know no leaders and no idols. The few who understand their epoch take advantage of it for | their own purposes, and astonish the world | with the ease with which they attain mighty results, As has happened with Louis Napoleon in Europe, so will it be with some great politi- cal leader in this country, who, comprehending the drift of the times, will attain for himself similar advantages, from the crumbling of parties and political organizations among us, to those that Louis Napoleon has seized from the crumbling of dynasties in Europe. Men everywhere want revolution without anarchy, and as a preservative against anarchy. That is what bas passed in Europe during the past ten years, and is passing still, France cepted revolution, and rejected Ledru Rollin his colleagues, with their infamous estion that the revolutionists wanted no arms as long as they possessed lu- cifer matches. Italy has accepted revo- Iution, and rejected Mazzini with his firebrand. Germany, as shown in the pamphlet of Mons. About, is approximating to the tri- umph of the same mighty influence of the age, long since foretold by Metternich in the saying that “Germany is rapidly advancing towards Teutonism.” The London Times, reading that pamphlet by the aristocratic lights of Buck- ingham Palace, sneers at Mons. About’s logic, and asks, “What is it that Louis Napolcon is to offer to the Prince Regent of Prussia at Batea?”’ It requires no power of second sight to see that what was offered to Prussia was 4 clear and logical view of the epoch, and the events in Germany which demonstrate its tendency and its result. The revolution without anarchy which is being achieved in France and Italy will inevitably sweep away the thirty-seven crowns which to-day divide the German nation, expeditions against Sicily. and repeat there the grand scene which the Prince Jerome Bonaparte, ex-King of Westpha- | world is to-day witnessing in Piedmont and fia and uncle of the Emperor, is dead. We give a] sicily, The London Times would not have sketch of his career in another column. sneered at Mons. About’s logic if it seat No material alteration had taken place in finan- safked th. cial affairs. Consols on the 25th were quoted at 93] for account, ex-dividend. The new Russi Joan of £8,000,000 was quoted at 92. French loan will be, it is reported, twenty or thirty millions sterling. At Liverpool cotton was dull and irregular, but without any change in prices. Pro: dull but steady, while breadstuffs were quiet. The steamship Cahawba, from New Orleans and Havana, arrived here on the morning of the 4th. She left Havana on the 30th, and brings no news, ‘Amongst her passengers were Consul Genoral Helm and family. Our correspondence from Mex- ico confirms the report of the defeat and hoof Losado, a noted church leader, near Tepic. The Diario de la Marina, of Havana, publishes a rumor that Miramon had been completely victo- rious over Ogazon, and that he had had several | superior officers shot, including Zaloaga. ‘The investigation in the Walton-Mathews trage- ay was resumed yesterday at Bellevue Hos- pital by Coroner Jackman. A number of wit- nesses were examined whose evidence was highly interesting; but after all there was nothing dicited which pointed to the perpetrator of the | double murder. The matter still remains enveloped in mystery, and it will be some days, we opine, be- fore the Coroner can arrive at any conclusion. Elsewhere will be found a full report of the proceed- ings. A meeting of the National Democratic Volun- teers was held last evening at No. 751 Broadway, Preparations were made for a serenade to Gen Joseph Lane, one of the candidates for the Vice Presidency, who, it is expected, will arrive in the city to-day. The Seventh regiment, National Goard, wentinto camp yesterday afternoon at New Dorp, Staten Inland. The regiment left the city at three o'clock on | the steamer Sylph, engaged for the occasion. An unfortunate accident occurred at the ferry previous to their departure, by which three men, named John Welch, Fred. Gilbert and John Donnely, were badly injured by the premature explosion of a can- non. A full report of the departure of the regi- ment, “Camp Scott” and the pitching of tents will be found elsewhere. Oar national birthday was the only holiday ob- served by the Excise Commissioners in the prose- cution of their labors for the present year. Yes terday they resumed their daily sessions by holding @ mecting, at which they granted eighteen thirty dollar licenses. The United States steam frigate Niagara, which eailed from New York on the S0th ult. for Japan, was spoken on the following day in latitude 40 4, and longitude 70 40. At the weekly meeting of the Commigsionera of Public Charities and Corrections yesterday, the usual report of the Committee of the Wi was presented and adopted. The only points of interest which it contained were the facts that several in- mates of the Lunatic Asylam have been transferred to the Workhouse, in consequence of the crowded condition of the Avylum, and that a new contract has been entered into with Wm. F. Clark for sap- plying the institutions with pure milk after the Soth inst. The number in the institutions at present ia %,231—a decrease of twelve since the last meeting. The Board adopted a resolution to mect fortnightly in future. An important communication from the Corpora- tion Counsel as to the powers, duties and responsi- bilities of the Mayor respecting unsafe buildings ‘will be found in another part of this day's Hearn. | The Police Commission, at their meeting yeater- day, transacted no public business whatever. ‘The foreign news by the Persia exercised no infnance yesterday upon the cotton market. The sales embraced bout 700 bales, closing upon the basis of 104,¢, for mid Gling uplands, It however bat a depressing influence ‘upon the flour market, which was heavy, and lowsr for fommon and medium grades, with inside extras, while (good to choice brands of extras were unchanged. Wheat epened steady, but, under the influence of the news, closed dull, with a tendency to lower prices. Corn was firmer, | ‘with a fair amount of sales. Pork exhibited more acti vity, while prices were firm, with sales of new mess at $15 87 2819, and new prime at $15 800 $19 ST.

Among the engagements qqrere wdout 2,000 bushels wheat, in bulk, at @yd., with Goer at 2. al | Louis Napoleon, through a correct apprecia- tion of the epoch in which he lives, and availing himself of the European equipoise between re- volution and reaction, is carrying out,the terri- torial idea of France with great success, He has dared, through a skilfnl combination of power of logic and of the legic of power, to establish the idea of a united Italy, with 26,000,000 of people, and to protect its realiza- tion; and Italy, in return, has willingly and glad- ly consented that France shall advance to her natural boundaries on the side of Savoy and Nice. Now he bas initiated the idea of a united Germa- ny, and it will march to triumph, when Germa- ny will gladly follow the example of Italy, and consent that France shall advance to the natu- ral boundary of the Rhine. Then Europe will behold with wonder and satisfaction three mighty dynasties, based on universal suffrage, ruling ninety millions of the most enlightened, industrious and wealthy people, on the basis of | “satisfied nationalities,” and the developement of the material interests of the masses, rather than of the privileged few. England and Turkey alone have been free from this equipoise between revolution and reaction. Yet to-day we see in the one a new and rising contest against the power of the lords, and for the extension of the suffrage; and in the other the beginning of a bitter conflict between the Crescent and the Cross. The heterogeneons em- pire of Austria is crumbling to pieces, not through a successful external attack so much | as through the process of internal decay. The policy that induced a German diet to claim Trieste as a German town, in opposition to the spirit of the age. is fast losing its hold upon both Venetia and Hungary. One of these must go to its natural position with united Italy, and the other may yet forta the nncleus of another great European union, which shall gather the Sclavonic tribes under the banner of empire. Thus is the nineteenth century sweeping away the old and rotten dynasties of Europe, and the | corrupt and worn out political organizations of America, to make room for others mere conso- | pant with the spirit of the age and the new ele | ments which the developement of the arts, sci- ences and intellect of man has brought into ex- istence. Commopore Vanpenai.t axp TH® Pacurre Mart, Sexvick.—We publish in another column a com- munication from Commodore Vanderbilt, ex- plaining the whole difficulty between him and the government relative to the California mail service, by which it will be seen that the whole blame lies with the House of Represen- tatives. | Several of the journals of the city afe com- menting severely upon Commodore Vanderbilt for refusing to take the mails to California, and one of them in papticular is very violent in ita | language, charging the Commodore with all | sorts of evil things; denominating him “a specu- lator on the necessities of his kind,” @ monopo- | list, a Shylock, and pronouncing him guilty of systematic and deliberate selfishness, and of conduct “too shameless even for modern tole- | We do not know whether ail this is true of Mr. Vanderbilt or not. It is certainly very | harsh language. It is true that he did leave be- } hind the letters and newspapers for the Pacific, | because our government—the imbecile and the incompetent, the official and the legislative — would not pay him his price for transporting them, which is, no doubt, a great inconvenience, and very much to be regretted. Whether he is deserving of all this abuse for asserting his le- gal and constitutional right to carry the mails on his own terms or not at all, in the absence of any contract, or whether the blame does not lie equally with the government, is another ' question. Not long ago the splendid and patriotic efforts | of Mr. Collins and bis associates to maintain an | ocean mail line on the Atlantic were broken up ané broken down through the mean, miserly and beggurly spirit of the United States go- vernment. The Post Oflice Department sends the mails all over the West and Southwest, to the most distant points, where the remuneration does not liquidate one-fourth of the expense of carriage, while New York and the commercial | interest make up the deficiency; and we | bave been doing this, Congress and the composed of men from all quarters of the coun- try, refuse a fair compensation to Mr. Collins, and destroy a line which was a credit to the nation. Our contemptible and miserly go- vernment is to-day paying British steamships for carrying its own mails, and it is now getting up another difficulty with the Vanderbilt line, and making a great noise about it. If the United States government acted in the same liberal spirit towards our as the British and the French governments do, and supported Mr. Collins as he deserved, we would have now the finest ocean steam marine of any country in the world, instead of being dependent upon foreign countries for the trans- portation of our mails across the Atlantic. If the carrying of the mails were in the hands al- together of such persons as Mr. Vanderbilt— who, whether a speculator or a monopolist, is certainly a man of enterprise and energy, al- most a second Collins—instead of in the hands of our inefficient government, there would, per haps, be none of the difficulties and delays which universally beset our postal service. We do not see why Mr. Vanderbilt had not the privilege to refuse to take the mails at the price offered by the government, and we ap- prove of bis resistance to the infringement upon his legal right to manage his own business in his own way. We approve of his refusal to be dictated to in this matter by a beggarly and contemptible government, because it is the only way to return the poisoned chalico to its own lips. The course he has adopted may conflict with the interests of a great many for a little while, but it will all come right in the end, and it will teach the government and Congress a lesson which they very badly needed. Important from Virginia—The Attitude of Governor Wise. On another page we publish an interesting letter from Norfolk, Virginia, giving an ac- count of the movements of Governor Wise in relation to “the impending crisis” and “the irrepressible conflict” between the two wings of the democratic party. It appears that the ratification meeting announced to take place at Norfolk, and at which it was expected “Massa Henry” would make “the greatest speech of his life,” was postponed by the advice and with the consent of the orator himself. He is opposed to Douglas, and in favor of Breckinridge. Why does he hesitate? He waits the action, we are informed, of the State Convention, which it is hoped will adopt the wait rule, and choke off Douglas in every part of the ‘State. Fortified by this decision, it is said, the Jupiter Tonans of the Old Dominion will then launch his thunderbolts at the head of the Little Giant of Minois in an overwhelming tempest. But why not begin at once? disappoint the thousands who flocked to folk? Why falter at the last moment? It was not thus Wise acted in the campaign of 1856, He is the quickest of all the politicians of the South, the most rapid in his combinations, being in politics what Napoleon the First was in war. Why does he hold back? It is evi- dent heshrinks from the fight. He feels in his bones that himself and his party are beaten be- fore they go into the field. In 1856, when Fre- mont, a Southern man and a democrat—a man moderate in all his views—obtained the nomi- nation of the republican party, which had not then committed itself to revolutionary designs, Henry A. Wise declared that the Southern peo- ple would never permit him to be inaugurated if elected, and that he would himself march on Washington with the militia of Virginiagand take possession of the Capitol to prevent the in- avguration. Why has he not come out in the same tone about the inauguration of Lincola—a Northern man, who has a better chance of elec- tion, and is the author of the irrepressible con- flict programme set forth by William H. Seward at Rochester. Lincoln is committed to the most ultra and revolutionary views. Why has not Wise pronounced since his nomination, and why does he not “come to the scratch,” even after being announced to speak? It is because there is a political revolution in progress at the South, and because there is a Union ticket in the field which will sweep half the Southern States, including, probably, Vir- ginia itself. Our correspondent remarks that democratic ascendancy in that State can no longer exist, and that the Bell and Everett ticket will be carried, unless the divi- sion in the Virginia democracy be speedily and thoroughly healed—a condition which there is very small prospect of seeing realized. The new Union party springing up in the South strikes terror into the hearts of the democratic Southern leaders. In 1851, the year after the compromise measures were carried in Congress, the fire-eaters raised the cry of secession, which called into existence a Union party which de- feated them in Georgia and several other States of the South, and carried the Presidential election of 1852 on Union principles. The dix union faction at the South slept from that time till last fall, when John Brown waked them up. The Union ticket, headed by Bell, a Southern man, is now destined to give them their quictus once more, perhaps to put them into that deep sleep from which there is no awaking, while the running of Douglas at the North will force the republicans into conservatism beforehand, thus taking away from under the Southern dis unionists the ground on which they stand, and at the same time putting down the extremists of the North. In this manner wilt disunion be beaten at all points, and Henry A. Wise is con- scons of it. Hence his hesitation. He is con- founded and knows not what to do or what to say. Like Belshazzar in his dream, be sees the handwriting on the wall, which decrees the | breaking up of the democracy in the Old Do- | minion, and the transfer of the “sceptre” into other hands. And he who so bravely fought the Know Nothings, and did more to overthrow them than any other living man, now shakes in his shoes at the shadows of coming events, which foreshow him the approaching doom of his party. aS And so it will ever be. The institutions of the country are stronger than parties, The whig party is gone, the American party is num- bered with the dead, and the democratic party is in its dying agony. But the republic re NEW YORK HERALD. FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1860.-TRIPLE SHEET. mins, and it is stronger than over. The Union is a rock, against which every party that comes into collision with it will be dashed to pieces, like a ship precipitated by winds and waves upon the bgetling clitts of a lee shore. Parties have their uses and serve good ends; but when they cease to fulfill the functions for which they were called into existence, then dis- solution is at hand. The democratic party has had its day, and has done some service; but its Jast hour bas come. It has become utterly cor- rupt. demoralized and disorganized. It has no Jonger any common principle. The slavery question, which once served as a rallying ground, is now the immediate cause of disintegration one portion of the party standing obstinutely by one set of doctrines on the subject, and another portion holding as tenaciously by the opposite dogmas. For some years there has been no bond of union but “the cohesive power of the public plunder,” and that has now become arope of sand. A new party takes the place of the democracy, suited to the times and to the exigencies of the country. It looms up in for- | midable dimensions. It is the lion in the way | which scares the bold and chivalrous Henry A. | Wise. els | Pvanasm AND Pourrics.—Bhe grand dinner | given at the Astor House on Tuesday, by the | friends of the new movement in favor of muscular civilization to one of its most distinguished apos- | tles, must be regarded as the definite commence- ment of one of the most important movements of the age. Not that pugilism is any new thing; on the contrary, it has been one of the favorite amusements of the elder branch of the great Anglo-Saxon family for any number of years. In England it has been viewed as a sport or game, like horse racing, card playing, roulette or thimble rigging. The nobility and gentry of England delight not so much now as formerly to see a brace of gladiators maul, beat and otherwise maltreat each other; but when the fight is over—when the Spartacus sits down to his cold brandy and water inside the bar of the Boxer’s Arms—then the British public forget all about the matter. But that is to be all changed by the younger branch of the family, as may be seen by the result of the. recent contest for the championship. In that affair the elder branch was represented by an old lion, who, after bullying everybody during the last eight or nine centuries, has been humbled for once, and now occupies the exceedingly disagreeable and absurd position of the monarch of his spe- cies with his tail between his legs. The eagle, which represents the younger branch, is in the fullest porsible feather. He spreads his wings to an enormous extent; his scream is like the combined whistle of ten thousand locomotives; he subs the lion as if the latter were a spaniel dog. The eagle, in point of fact, is around. Under such auspices the new movement com- mences. The effete systems of Europe have so far dulled the mental perceptions of the lead- ing statesmen abroad that they fail to recognise muscle as the most im- portant governmental basis. It has been re- served for the United States to give to the pugilist and his associates the political su- premacy which is their due. Consequently we have this new movement engineered by the Recorder, now on the bench, and one of the most famous of his predecessors, together with leading practitioners at the me- tropolitan bar. It begins at a most fortunate moment. The country is getting on very com- fortably, buying, selling and raising a good deal; but the political parties are all ina bad way. The whig party died long ago; the Know Nothing organization dropped to pieces; | the democracy has not been able to survive the tremendous shocks it received at Charleston and ~*~ has gone to its grave “unwept, and unsung.” There is, therefore, a splendid opening for poli- ticians with a small capital, and the new muscle party is precisely the sort of thing that is wanted. The persons who would be its natural leaders have been from time to time in the employ of the old parties, and in beginning business on their own account they will not be utter no- vices. The representative man in the néw | party is, as a matter of course, Mr. John C. Heenan, who is now on his way back from his missionary visit to the Court of St. Giles. The Astor House affair will do very well for & beginning, but that is all. Heenan is the man of the hour. His supporters should pre- pare to receive him with the grandest ovation ever seen in New York since the funeral of the late lamented Mr. William Poole. The Astor House affair was a small tea party; but the Heenan féte should be equal to the great popu- lar banquets which were given in Paris in 1848. Will not the Common Council combine with the classes, and fix up something prime for the Benicia Boy? Never mind the expense. We can afford it. Go ahead.

Mr. Seward expressed the greatest regard for Gree- ley, but could not control Weed. Greeley, with his poper and his personal efforts, has done | more than any other man to build up the re- | publican party; and Weed, Raymond and | _Webb, by introducing the lobby system into the | party, and perpetuating all sorts of offieial cor- ruption at Albapy and Washington, have done the organization serious injury, and helped to | kill off Seward at Chicago. All the rascality and corruption at Albany last winter was charged at Chicago directly to the Weed clique, and it was urged that, should Seward be elected, Weed would rule in the kitchen, and give all the fat to his friends, Maynard, Webb & Co. These things are well understood by the more honest of the republicans in this State, who desire to run Greeley for Governog, in order that he may be set right by a direct appeal to the people. Weed wants Morgan—a fairish Governor enough—renominated; but itis quite probable that Seward will favor the idea of running Greeley. This is a sort of family quarrel, and we have not quite decided which side to take in it. If we had a taste for the fieshpots of | Egypt, we might incline to Weed; but as we | do not. care for such things, and as Greeley is the fairer man of the two, we feel disposed to cotton to him. We will wait a while and see how the thing comes out. Tue Last or THE Coutins Mam Conrract.— On the last day of the session of Congress the Post Office Deficiency bill passed, and in it was a section directing the Secretary of the Navy to pay to Collins the sum of $80,282 72, being the balence, with interest, due to him on account of the money withheld on account of the Erics- son. -A draft for this sum was sent to Mr. Col- lins, and thus ends this contract. What will the next session do for our mail steamers, or will Congress continue Rs hostility to American shipping interests, and throw all our European travie into the hands of foreign steamships? Heyce Tuest Tears —Now that the Japan- eve have taken themselves off, the Philadel- phia journals are groaning terribly because some sharp fellows in the metropolis made a few dollars by the Embassy. The fact is, the Philadelphians are angry because they behaved so badly to the Japanese that the latter would not buy anything in the Quaker City; so they rail at our shopkeepers and others among whom the money was spent. The Philadel- phians are like the bad boy who was sent to bed | without his supper, and they are crying as | if their little hearts would break. j NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Cur Special Washington Despatch. Wasmctox, July 5, 1860. PRESENTATION OF THE NEW FRENCH MINISTFR TO THE PREWIDENT. ‘Whe new French Minister, M. Mercier, was yesterday presented to the President by acting Secretary of State Mr. ‘Trescott, ‘The Minister, in offering his credentials, took occasion to express his satisfaction in being accredited to this government, and closed his brief address by announcing the sincere sympathy of his august master, the Em- peror, for the government and people of this country. ‘The President, in reply, Stated the pleasure it afforded | him in receiving the new envoy, and in the course of his ; remarks made felicitous use of the fact that the French Minister should present bis credentials on the anni- versary of American independence, which could not fail to remind him (the President) of the deep obligations the people of this country owed to France in their | gle for emancipation, and which no American could recall without the liveliest sentiments of gratitude. ‘The interview terminated with mutual assurances of tne most complimentary character, and it is said the new | French Minister bas made a most favorable impression on the President as a man of ability and straightforward ‘and conciliating disposition. ‘OUR RELATIONS WITH RPATY. Accounts have recently appeared in the newspapers representing that there exists an increased hostility on the part of the Spanish government against the United States. While our relations are not 80 amicable as could be desired, owing to causes well known to the public, there is nothing whatever in the correspondence betweea the governments to support that assertion. The feeling now is at least as friendly as it has been at any time within the last ten years. THE MIRKION TO GUATEMALA. Vartous paragraphs have appeared in the newspaper correspondence from this city, which might be under- stood to imply that the nomination to the vacant office of Mininter to Guatemala and Honduras, conferred by the President on Hon. W. M Churchwell of Tenneasec, was not approved of by the Senate, inasmuch as it was not reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs of that body. The fact is that Mr. Churchwell declined the ap- pointment, from private considerations, as soon as it was made known to him. It was not solicited, but intended by the President as a recognition of Mr. Churehwell’s ser- vicos an special and confidential agent of the United States in Mexico, anterior to the mission of Mr. McLane. ‘THE CLAIMY AGAINST PARAGUAT. ‘The arguments in the [araguay case have been sub- mitted to the Commissioners, and a decision may thero- fore be expected. The parties who are pressing these claims are anticipating a very large award, pearly a mil- lion of dollars. Most of the accounts, it is said, are ficti- tious, and will compare favorably, when the facts are all developed, with the Gardiner and Galphin claims. It is to be hoped that the matter will be thoroughly sifted. It was wisely remarked, s short time since, by the present head of one of the departments, that a man could not tura around in a foreign government without presenting a claim of a hundred thousand dollars. THR PRINCE OF WALRA. Lord Lyons bas returned to this city. He will leave here in time to meet the Prince of Wales on his arrival in Canada. ‘The government, as yet, have taken mo steps with re- gard to this distinguished visitor. Whatever is done in the matter will be through minister Dallas. ‘THE CALIFORNTA MATLA ‘There bas nothing yet transpired in regard to the Cali- fornia mail service.

CoLumuia, Ohio, July 6, 1960, The Democratic Convention met here yesterday, and organized by appointing Geo, W. McCook, ‘The following were nominated by acciamation: For Supreme Judge, F. J. S. Smith. Attorney Goneral, D. W. Stanbagb. Superintendent of Public Works, Abuer L. Backus. Resolutions endorsing Douglas and Johneon were adopted, when about fifty Breckinridge men withdrew from the Convention and met at the Neil House. They appointed a State Central Committee and a Committee te prepare an address to the Ohio democracy, and issued @ call for a State Convention to meet at Columbus om the second Tuesday in August, to nominate a State and elec- toral ticket. Remominatien of Hon. 8. S. Cox fer Com- Covemavs, July 5, 1860. ‘The democrats of the Eleventh district met here yes- terday, and unanimously renominated Hon. 8. $. Cox for Congress. Resolutions were adopted in favor of Dougias and Johnson, and denouncing the seceders. Breckinridge and Lane Ratification Meeting. Sr. Loms, July 4, 1860. A Breckinridge and Lane ratitication meeting was held in this city last evening, and was well attended. Senator Green attended and made a strong speech, after which new nominations were made for Governor and Lieutenant- Governor of the State, Hancock Jackson being solectad for the former office, and Monroe Parsons for the latter.
