MzIRTETTA, JMA.Y XSSt' A Sum for the Cabinet. There are now about thirty thousand sol diers in and aronnd Maryland, to hold that “loyal,” independent and sovereign State in subjection to the Federal Gbverntnent. If anv one of Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet is good at figures, we propose the following sum for his consideration : If it takes thirty thousand soldiers to hold’ the little and ‘-loyal” State of Maryland in' subjection, bow many would it take to sup press rebellion in all the powerful find revol-' ted States of Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee,’ North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Mis sissippi, Alabama, Louisiana; Texas; and Ar-' kansas ? Mr Lincoln’s war programme will' require an army of at least five hundred thou sand men to suppress rebellion, and then if he could suppress it, ir will take a standing army of at least three hundred thousand men to keep it suppressed. This immense stand ing army would cost us four hundred millions a year in solid cash. Then we must estimate that one third of our soldiers will die annual ly in a hot and unfriendly country, which will make a constant yearly drain of ono hundred thousand Northern men to supply their places. At this rate how many yeat< would it take to depopulate the North ? If the Republican papers correctly indicate Mr. Lincoln’s plans, we advise his physicians ?0' put blisters behind his ears, to draw off the hot and acid humors of his brain ; for ho must certainly be mad—stark, raving mad.—- In fact, the whole party taTM a'ndact like bd'dj lamites. — N. I’’. Day Book. Albert Pike and the Indians. —A lettef from Little Rock, Ark., says : Capt. Albert Pike has been comft¥issi6'ned! by the Southern Confederacy to rise and equip a regiment of Indians for instant sen vice. The Captain is an idol with the Indi ans on our border. He has secured to them so many comforts, and they arC so fOnd of him, that he has often been urged by them to" become their Chief, and he can readily pro cure a command of five thousand of them if necessary. He goes at once to the nation.- Mr. Breckinridge.—The Memphis Argus of the 19th instant puts to rest the Abolition story of this gentleman’s taking office in the Lincoln army. It says: “We are advised,- by a reliable gentleman who was in company with Mr. Breckinridge at Frankfort, Ky.,- when the Abolition canard was telegraphed to that city, that the charge was instantly and indignantly denied, and that there never was' the least foundation for its circulation. Mr. Breckinridge had just closed a list of appoint-’ ments in Kentucky, and is now making her culean efforts to insure her co-operation with the Southern States. There is no more able or reliable defender of Southern honor this side of A bolitiotidorn than Kentucky’s favor ite son—John C; Btockinridge.” . Scrrender bT the Remainder of the U. S.

The New Orleans Crescent says : In a few days—in a very short time—af ter the thirty days elapse, privateer# by the hundreds will swarm in every sea under the canopyof heaven,for the sole andexclusive pur pose of capturing, appropriating or difttroy ing Northern merchantmen, wherever they can be found. By the opening of fall, wei expect our privateers-men will capttfre one hundred millions or more of Abolition property afloat,which,taten in connectionjwitli the utter prostration of trade, will not ma terially facilitate Abolition capitalists in mak ing the tremendous advances Lincoln’s Gov ernment will require before the first of Sep tember.
