We had the pleasure and unmitigated .atisfuction a few days since, of visiting the aboTO named Institution. This noble char ity of the State, so needfully bestowed, we are rejoiced to see is entrusted, in its pres ent administration, to competent, faithful, efficient, and, in every way,good officer*.— It is not surprising that the Institution now occupies a wider field of usefulness and enjoy, a greater degree of prosperity than ever before, when we come to know of the energy, persevere nee and well directed ef fort, of Rev. B. B. Quillian, the worthy Steward, and ihe untiring asiduity and af fectionate patience of the meritorious tcach- Vi‘c «re sure that the State could in no other way bestow a charity of an equal amount—at present, 812,000 a year—more judiciously, or whichwould he expended with more scrupulous economy than is that for this Asylum. The present number of pupils is fifty- three; the highest number ever before wa3 18—and the highest average for any year The Asylum is a beautiful building, coa lyashington, D. C., Dec. 28. The fear among the Republican* of a rupture between Grant and the Radical party is deepening daily. Grant is known to be iu favor of repealing the tenure-of-of- fice law; of the passage cf Jenckes’ civil service bill; of the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department; of stopping subsidies to railroads, and of breaking up all tlie radical thievingrings throughout the country. Fearing his power, the Radicals appear determined to hold on to the civil tenure act, in order that, wheu they get one of cheir own kind iu office, they may be able to keep him there. Ry the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department they will lose a large amount of patrunag* in the appointment of agents, superintendents and other officers, and a large amount of por centagcs in contract annuities. Jencke’s civil service bill would cut off the immense revenue of public plunderers, whose appointments the Radicals hope to control for party purposes, instead of mak ing the officers Contingent on the capacity of candidates. To all of these sorrows of the Radicals is added a feather which will probably complete the burden of their en durance. This the assertion of Grant recently, that he considered the faithful ad ministration of public business head and shoulders above the claims of party, and that he is an enemy henceforth of the priii ciple that party services ar* a claim for public office. Gen. Grant declare* that he will not remove officers who have be*n faith ful to their trust, merely because any polit ical party demands it. This being his declared intention, the question comes as to the disposition of the large number of faithful officers already in the government whom the Radical* desire to get out of the way, iu order to make room for those who have been of greater service to the party. The Radical* are al so incensed at Grant'a reticence on Cabinet matters. They advise him very freely, but they complain that he does not manifest any disposition to act on their advice, and that they are ignorant as to his preferences of men. Altogether the fight seems to hare fairly began, and it way be looked forward to by outsiders with rare interest. The effect of the amnesty proclamation is the subject of some speculation, and espe cially as to the indictment against Davis.— To dispose of the latter, it is suggested that he must surrender himself into custody and get out a writ of habeas corpus, etc. There is no donbt here among officials, about the upon which he is held under indictment.— The attorney for the government can move a dismissal or nolle prosequi, and he will undoubtedly do so. Or if it should become necessary the attorney for defendant would make a motion for the discharge of the cli ent, based upon the proclamation. Special to tho C.ncinnatti Commercial. The first thing Congress will receive from the President, on its return is a veto of the bill repealing the one prohibiting the organization of the militia by the John- sonized State governments. Persons usu ally informed believe that the veto will be devoted principally to showing that, as the people have the right to bear arms, Con gress has no right to legislate on the sub ject. Senator Trumbull is actively working the Georgia Senatorial case, referred to the Judiciary Committee, of which he is chair man. It is understood that the Illinois Senator favors the admission ofllon. Josh ua Hill. There are likely to be two re ports, as Senator Edmunds is strongly op posed to the recognition of the Senators.. veniently- and comfortably arranged, in a lo cality that cannot be surpassed for health- fulness in the State, and the most tender of parents would not hesitate to entrust their afflicted offspring to the affectionate care 1 and control of \V. 0.

The sudden and widening breach between WASHINGTON SPECIALS. Possibility of a Split Among tho liadlcal* la Congress. It is believed that a possibility oxiats of a split among Congressmen upon the ques tion of burdening or unhanding Grant, which will even show itself this sesgien.— In the Senate such a split is already but half concealed. The cause of difference is upon the bill transfering the Indian bu reau to the War Department.' Wilson, as the mouthpiece of Grant, presses the trans fer, and Henderson, Morrill, Thayer, all the members of the Indian committee, op pose the transfer, knowing that they are op posing the wish of Grant, and insisting that the time has not come for him to begin to shape legislation; aud the introduction of his name by Wilson, if authorised, bods* no good in the future, and should be re pelled at once. It is evident that General Grant inteude-to suggest to th# next Con gress all that his direct influence fail* to as- jwerinr ui juuiffenis gtast the gratitude of. cure from thin.

Times and Messenger, upon this all important sub ject to farmers, aud you inaita discussion upon it. Tbe writer states that ha saw the egg and worm of a cotton-fly found ia tbe cotton- stalk, etc. From the history of insects, I can find no facts confirming bis statements, snd I dare say the writer is totally in error as to their mode of propagation. The fly lays the egg iu summer, on tha tender parts of the cotton pleat, tbe worm is speedily hatched out, growing rapidly to and forming the cocoon, in which state tha larrnj exist all winter. It, however, may go through the process several time* du ring summer. In tha spring it cut* ont of its self-made prison, and goe* forth a* be fore. Insects that depoeit their egg in th* pith of stalks have a caudal appendage with which they pierce the stalk and their eggs. . The various specie* of locusts, th* Hessian fly, are example*.

Joshua Hill, Senator-elect from George, who was assured by Senator Sherman of ad- mission, bag at last gone home, and said he would not return until he was telegraphi cally advised either that bis credentials would be.received or rejected. It oomes oat that Governor Bullock exerted all bis little influence to have thacredential* sign ed by himself, at least deferred until some action was taken in regard to tha condition of affairs in tbe State. Hill accuses him o dnplioity, and Senator Sherman was pretty free in his statements regarding him last Monday. No notice at all was taken of Dr. Miller, the other Senator, who ha* not so openly espoused Radicalism as his col league. Senator Patterson, of Tennessee, however, intends to offer Miller’s creden tials on the Sth, and his case will then be on a footing with Hill’s—AT.

His position, stated in these dispatches last night, to the effect that he demands the repeal of the Civil Tenure law, and the continuance of the law providing for Congress to meet in Maroh, has been confirmed to-day by the flatter it has caused in the Radical circles. A few Senators, Nye, Morgan,Sumner and Stewart are here, and had an informal meeting to day in reference to the new situation. These Senators were, without exception, in favor of the oontinuancq of the Civil Tenure bill, no matter what may be the result. They declared that Congress was prepared to yield nothing to dictation, and that General Grant’s extraordinary and peremptory de mand ought at least to have been postpon ed until the occasion of his message, and then been respectfully couched in the form of a proclamation. They deny that Con gress intends to construe the Civil Tenure bill against any desire General Grant may have to execute summary removal upon no torious officials; but they decline to abrogate the law altogether, because, a? Mr. Sumner declares, the security of the future requires it. The Senators charge that any rupture be tween Grant and Congress will be referable to the former*, whose gauntlet has been thrown down in advance; but that the cru cial test to which the Civil Tenure bill was put in the impeachment proceedings proved that it must stand. Telegrams have been receivtd to day from Butler and Wilson on the sudden situation. Butler is said simply to have said, stand firm. Wilson enjoined no haste and patience; and Senator Sherman, who is now here, gravely keeps his own own counsel. Senator Morton, who is here, professes to bo busied with fioanoial studies, and declines to discuss the Civil Tenure is sue, believing, however,that when Trumbull and Fessenden return all will be made right. On tho contrary, Senator Henderson was to day free in his opining that the law had worked badly and that General Grant’s de mand for its repeal in advance was timely and right. It is conceded that the bill will not be repealed, and that General Grant has only succeeded,in precipitating a hostility which was not expected to show itself so soon. The other demand of Grant for a session of the Forty-first Congress will be acceded to, Indeed, Trumbull and Wilson were pronounced in favor of it before this date, and Mr. Conkling’s bill to repeal the act of Continuous Session has dropped ont Our Railroad Monopolies. King Wadley, ofthe Georgia Central has just added another feather to his plains.— He stands behind th* Southwestern (Geor gia) and buys up a controlling interest in the Savannah and Golf Road. The result of this purchase-is to destroy all competi tion. King Wadley can now charge what he pleases for carrying cotton to Savrnnah from Macon and ail Central Georgia. Al though he cannot buy up the Chattahoochee or the Alabama rivers, he can v*ry easily buy up the Alabama Legislature, and have such a license put upon steamboats az to practically run them from the river. And then, with a controlling vote in the railroad lines from Savannah to Mortgomerj and Mobile, he can charge what he pleases, and reign as monarch of all he surveys. King Wadley is, however,'in danger from a rivalr King Mahone, of Norfolk, has stretched his arm down into East Tenues see, aDdisnow getting cotton from Seim;. W e would not be surprised to see the Nor folk King capture these domains of the King of Savannah, Mahone has evidently flanked Wadley at Selma, and will drain the cotton region north of the line of the Ala bama river drawn due east and west be tween Selma and Montgomery.—Mont.

Tha iron is, some cases, of suoh rare excelleno* that, horse shoes are sometimes made directly front the ore by oountry blacksmiths.

In bis article on the flight of Jefferson Daris, in th* current number of Packard’s Monthly, Mr. E. A.

If yon do not look closely after yonr hands, it will cost you good deal more than that. Now, evary acre cultivated, that will not yield crops worth at least the above amounts, will not on^y be no profit, but rnn in debt. Larger crop still are required to obtain a profit on hired labor. Lands, then, which will not yield Buch crops we most let rest, or manors them sufficiently, or we looae money.

It is onr painful duty to announce the sudden and unexpected death of the Hon. Chas. S. Moorehead. The distinguished Kentuckian expired in Greenville, Mississippi, on Wednesday last. He was born in 1802 in Nelson county, and was elected to’ the State Leg islature in 1838. In 1832 he was appoint ed Attorney General of tho State, and from 1840 to 1844 served as Speaker in th* House of Representatives. From 1847 to 1851 he sat in Congress, and is 1855 was elected Governor of his native State, an of- fiee.which he filled acceptably to the peo ple and with great ability and credit to himself. He was one of the delegates to the peace convention which sat in Wash ington in 1861, and used all his influence to avert the war, foreseeing very clearly its disastrous effects upon both sections, and when actual hostilities commenced his sym pathies were enlisted in the Clause of the South, sad lie soon afterward went to ’ up land as a commercial agent ror the Southern Confederacy.—. myself, poor ntan, you crack in your hog trough.
