Tlio Now York Times lms n correspondent nt
Washington, wlio L fiirnlahlng tint paper with
|k'ii ami Ink portraiture* of gome of tho more
distinguished ami notorious ol tho Radical
leitdcrs in the House ol Representatives. Pro
minent nu<l first among these is Thadrteus Ste
vens, and those who lmvo visited and occasion
ally looked in upon tho body of which lie is the
evil genius, will readily recognize the coiredness
of the picture:
THAO. STEVKNS.
A few seats in the rear of Mr. Ashley sits a tall
slim man, with a high anti projecting, though
narrow forehead. I tig eyebrows are bushy and
overhang a pair of deep-got optics, dark brown
In color, and very piercing in glance. His hair
is a sotl brown auburn, and it is plainly evident
that it has belonged to somebody else
some time or another, although it Is now be
comingly arranged on tho head or Thad. Stevens,
the “great commoner” from Pennsylvania. His
check bones are prominent and sharp, like those
of a Scotchman, or a Navajoo Indian, while tho
flesh of his cheeks is sunken, and narrows down
to a square, decided chin. There is a deep line
running down from tho expanse of each ol the
nostrils, and the muscles ol the upper lip Imme
diately ia trout of the uose are prominent. The
upper lip is closely set, and thin, while tho lower
one is a little thicker and protrudes slightly be
yond its companion witli a sour, pouting expres
sion. Tho noso is purely Roman, with a slight
sensual indication in the thickness ol the nos
trils. The cars arc large, indicating a stubborn
disposition and n generous heart, but are covered
up by the gentle and graceful waves of his
wig, which also fall over tho right tem
ple, and conceal n part of the forehead.—
This last feature of his facial appearanco may
account for tho apparent narrowness of the fore
head, as it is as broad at the base ns nt the eye
brows, but seems to grow narrow as it goes up
ward, and finally hides itself with a heavy frontal
projection in the hair. His dress is rather “slip
shod," generally consisting of a black cloth coat
nud vest, pants ol the same color, and a black
silk nuck-handkerchiof, which he evidently ties
himself, in a loose sailor-knot fashion, forcibly
calling fo mind pictures of oid-fnsliioncd states
men, and the dignity of times long gone by.—
lie sloops not a little, and does not look graceful
when he stands up to address the House, which
fact is superinduced, l suppose, by an infirmity
Sn one of his p :dai extremities. On his sound
leg and foot lie seems to rest his weight, and
swings easily from right to ielt, half way “round
tho circle,” as if standing on a pivot. His ges
tures are made nlmost entirely with his right
hand, never with the left alone, but sometimes
with both together. His voice is weak, and
somewhat shrill and squeakish, with monotonous
tones, which never would attract attention from
the galleries, if they were not known to express
tlie ground-down bitterness and sarcasm of Con
gressional opposition to the President. His man
ner of delivery is cominonpluce; but, perhaps,
owing to his exalted prominence as a great Rad
ical leader, it is convincing, and every wo#el that
he utters seem to find the spot in the minds of his
hearers that lie intended it should tiud. His sar
casm reads sharper than it sounds as he speaks
it, tor as it falls Irom his lips in his weak voice,
it seems to be struggling for an existence. Occa
sionally his voice is for one word competcntto fill
the hall, but this is evidently effected by a
violent exhaustion of the air in bis lungs,
like a strong and sudden blast Irom an old
pair of bellows. Socially, there is an air of
freedom about him which seems to bo assumed.
His conversational powers are evidently limited
to the consideration of serious subjects, so influ
enced, undoubtedly, by his “ old bachelor ” hab
its and a lifetime spent in conning over dry poli
tical theories. He assumes to be gay and trivial,
but it is unnatural, and strikes the observer as
being forced with great effort. I studied him
closely when I last saw him in a social gather
ing, and do not hesitate to say that he was pre-
>»eot merely because he felt it to be his duty to be
Itliere. There is no doubt but what lie likes to
meet his friends personally, but, in my opinion,
lie is glad that the political situation does not
klemaud of him extraordinary exertions as a fre
quenter of Executive or Cabinet levees. His
“ best forte ’’ in such gatherings is “ euchre” or
“ seven-up,” and lie plays the latter game witli
astonishing skill and almost unprecedented suc
cess. Last year, at Colonel Forney’s, lie played
at it with a certain conservative member of
Congress, who is well known as au adept, tor no
smaller stake than President Johnson’s hide, and
lie won. He very much likes to impress by
standers into his service, in helping him to walk
to and from his carriage, although he does not
really need assistance, and sometimes lays his
hands on the shoulders of entire strangers for
this purpose. He has many warm personal
friends, and, ns every one knows, 1ms political
friends without number.
The Military Gone.—The Thomnsville
Enterprise says:
Thomnsville is once more evacuated by the
United States forces, and the town is now restored
to its usual quiet. About a dozen soldiers, at
tached to the Freedman's Bureau, drinking and
carousing, cursing and swearing, in tho Court
House, where they made their head-quarters,
have kept the town in an uproar for several
months, and required all the vigilance of the au
thorities to keep them in subordination. At last
they received orders, and left, on the train
Wednesday morning. It it should ever be found
necessary to send more soldiers here, we sincere
ly hope a better class will be selected. But there
' never will he any necessity for soldiers to keep
this community quiet us long as the civil author
ities are untratnmcled, and not even then, it tho
citizensuiro Ielt to themselves.
Pakdons.—The Richmond Examiner, says
That distinguished jurist nnd paragon ol re
finement and virtue, Mr. John .Minor Both), some
time since delivered an obiter dictum to the elieel
tlmt all the pardons granted by Mr. Johnson to
our citizens were worthless, upon the ground, if
we remember aright, tliut the President could not
pardon before conviction. The United Stales
Supreme Court could hardly have seen thisopin
ion ol Mr. Botts, for they have gone on to decide
tlmt the power of tho President “extends to ev
cry offense known to the law, and may be exer
eised at any lime after its commission, either be
lore legal proceedings are taken, or during their
peudcucy, or after conviction and judgment.”—
In view ut this conflict of great minds, we think
it would lie safer for every one to hold on to his
parchment.
♦ —
A Queer Btoiiv.—The Western papers, who
are loud of representing New York us a mixture
of Sodom, Uormorruh, and Babylon—a sort ol
miniature Chicago, or lmll-growu Cincinnati, in
fact—have got up a terrible story about a kind
of industry in New York tlmt is more of a nui
nance than tho bone-boiling houses. According
to this account, there is a large baby-burning
establishment on the Filtli avenue, where child
ren of tender years are taken in nnd converted
into charcoal. What becomes of the charcoal
is not stated, but it is probubly sold to the sugar
refiners.
-w-
Congressional.—Among the excuses offered
the other evening for absence from the House,
.Mr. Eggleston said: “ At Hie place where I am
taking my meals, I find that the boarders fare
best who get there eariy. Tho first table is al
ways the best." Mr. Eggleston’s constituents
will be gratified to learn tlmt ids appetite is ex
cellent. A punctually recurring hunger vouches
for virtuous habits nnd easy conscience.
♦
England.—A late number of Blaclnoooets
Magazine contains a remarkable article in refer
ence to the present condition of England. It
ssys the musses are reduced to pauperism, the
finances of ‘.lie country urc in so critical a posi
tion that it hampers its foreign policy, and its
navy is pronounced worthies*. It will he home
in mind, that these arc the assertions of an Eng
lish writer, speaking for an English public.
Impeachment.—A dispatch from New York,
to the editor of Hie Mobile Adeertiser, on the -4Hi
Instant, says: Later and better advice* from
^whington leave me in no doubt whatever tlmt
President Johnson will ho impeached and re
moved.
Tennessee Bonds.—The State bonds of Ten-
D& see were quoted in New York on the 20th at
(SOj.
The Importance or Advertising.
In tho year 1832, Edwin T. Frccdloy, Esq., of
Philadelphia, published a book entitled “ Practl
cal Treatise on Business.” Before publishing it
lie naked llarnum, the celebrated showman, who
has made lmlf dozen fortunes in his time, to fur
nish him n communication cmbodyiug the re
sults ot Ids experience nnd observation. Bnrnuqi
furnished the article, which Frccdlcy published
in his work and which we find published also iu
Bnrnum's Life, “ written by himself," under the
title of “ B.irnum’s Rules for success iu Busi
ness." Thoro were feu rules laid down; flic
eighth was ns follows:
“8. AdvcrtUo your business. Ho not hide
your light under a bushel. Whatever your occu
pation or calling may he, if it need* support from
tlie public, adeertise it thoroughly and efficiently
in some shape or other that will arrest public at
tention. I freely confess tlmt what success I
lmvo had iu my life may fairly be attributed
more to Hie press than to ncnrly all other causes
combined. There may possibly be occupations
that do not require advertising, but I ennnot well
conceive wlmt they are.
Men in business will sometimes toll you that
they linve tried advertising, nnd Hint it did not
pay. This is only when advertising is done
sparingly and grudgingly. IIomropaHiic doses
of advertising will not pay, perhaps—it is like
half a potion ot physic, making the patient sick,
but etlecting nothing. Administer liberally, and
the cure will be sure and permanent.
Some say “ they cannot afford to advertise.”—
They mistake—they cannot afford not to adver
tise. In this country, where everybody reads
tho newspapers, tho man must have a thick skull
who does not see that these are the cheapest and
best mediums through which he can speak to tho
public, where he is to find his customers. Put
on the appearance of business, and generally the
realizing will follow. Tlie farmer plants ins seed,
and while he is sleeping his corn and potatoes are
growing. So with advertising. While you are
sleeping or eating, or conversing with one set ot
customers, your advertisement is bciug read by
hundreds and thousands ot persons who never
saw you nor heard of your business, and never
would, had it not been for your advertisement
appearing in tlie newspapers.
Tho business men of this country do not, os a
general tiling, appreciate the advantage of ad
vertising thoroughly. Occasionally the public
are nroused nt witnessing the success of a Swaim
a Brandeth, a Townsend, a Genin, or a Root,
and express astonishment at the rapidity with
which these gentlemen acquired fortunes, not re
flecting that the same path is opened to all who
dare pursue it. But it needs nerre and faith.—
Tlie former to enable you to launch out thou
sands ou the uncertain waters of tlie future; tho
latter to teach you that alter many days it shall
surely return, bringing an hundred or a thou
sand fold to him who appreciates the advantages
of “ printer’s ink, properly applied,”
Insurrection—The Penal Code,
We print below an act to amend the Penal
Code of the State, passed at the recent session
of the General Assembly. Attention is invited
to its provisions:
AN ACT TO AMEND THE PENAL CODE.
Section I. The General Assembly of tlie State
of Georgia do enact, Tlmt insurrection shall con
sist in any combined resistance to tlie lawful
authority of Hie State, with intent to the denial
thereof, when the same is manifested or intended
to be manifested by acts of violence.
Section II. Any attempt, by persuasion or
otherwise, to induce others to join in any com
bined resistance to the lawful authority of the
State, shall constitute an attempt to incite insur
rection.
Section III. Any person convicted of tlie of
fense of insurrection, or an attempt at insurrec
tion, shall be punished with death; or, it the
jury recommend to mercy, confinement in tlie
Penitentiary for a term not less tliun five nor
more than twenty years.
Section IV. If any person shall bring, intro
duce, print, or circulate, or cauBC to be intro
duced, circulated, or printed, or aid, or assist,
or be in any manner instrumental in bringing,
introducing, circulating, or printing within this
State any paper, pamphlet, or any writing, for
the purpose of exciting insurrection, riot, con
spiracy or resistance against tlie lawful authority
of this State, or against tlie lives of the inhabi
tants thereof, or any part of them, su6h person
or persona shall be guilty of a high misdemeanor,
and on conviction shall be punished by confine
ment in tlie Penitentiary for a term not less than
five nor longer than twenty years.
Section V. Repeals conflicting laws.
Approved 15th December, 1866.
A Good Idea.—A wedding took place in Ra
leigh recently among the "upper crust” of dar-
keydom, at which the guests, receiving tlie usual
cards of invitation, were required to pay an en
trance fee of five dollars, and alter entering the
dimmed precincts, were required to expend five
dollars more in refreshments. This money was
turned over to the bride and groom, who had
taken this method of raising, money to start on
their journey ot life.
Good.—The Judiciary Comwittco in the Sen
ate will probably propose an amendment to tlie
Constitution, preventing tlie eligibility of a Pres
ident for a second term. This is a very sensible
amendment. It might be very much improved
by making any member of the present Senate
nlso ineligible. It is not necessary to extend the
provision to ex-Gencral Butler. Tlie people—at
least tliut portion of them having silver spoons
—will take care of him.

A Novel Race.—A race camo of! last week
on Cayuga hike, between a man named Carr, of
Sprlngport, who was on skates, und it man named
Cox, irom Elmira, who ran without skates. The
distance was seventy-five yards, and the stake
was $100. At 2 p. m. the parties started, and the
result was tlie defeat Of Carr, his opponent with
out skates arriving at the goal ten feet ahead. A
great deal of money was lost on Carr, hundreds
having been bet on his winuing the race. He is
the champion skater of tlie State, and has made
his mile on skates in 2:18.

Married Him.—The following is from tlie
Zanesville Times: “ Among the marriages occur-
ing in this city last week was one of a highly re
spectable young woman to an individual who
was a Southerner, and at the beginning of tlie
war a slave, notwithstanding tlie fact of his hav
ing, to all appearance, no negro blood in his
veius."
New York in Congress.—Hon. Hoscoe Conk-
ling, United States Senator Irom New York, is a
man of muscular ability. He is several inches
over six leet in height, with proportionate build.
Iu the next Congress New York will have two
representatives—Coukliug in the Senate and
Morrissey in tho House—who can take care of
themselves. ^
Don’t Care.—Tlie Chicago Times publish! s
as an indorsement of its advocacy of negro suf
frage, a letter from oue William Dewitt, who
subscribes to the weekly edition and adds :
“N. I!.—I don't care a damn whether the ne
groes vote or not.” ^
Kktiked.—Charles G. Ramsey, the oldest pub
lisher in St. Louis, has retired. Ho was arrested
in 1801 by Fremont and lodged in jail because
be intimated that that great man paid more at
tention to kerridge’s and parting bis hair In the
middle than be did to business.
New York Police Arrests.—A New York
paper says:
Among the arrested persons in this city last
year are recorded 13 editors, 41 reporters, 703
printers, 04 artists, 44 actors, 388 scholars, 91 en
gravers, 122 lawyers, 130 physicians, 78 teachers,
705 merchants, 22 telegraph operators, 178 musi
cians, and 38 officers of tlie United States.
Good.—There is a rage just now for changing
the termination aphov atf, wherever it occurs in
to am, as in “telegram.” The latter la the more
forcible sound. Thus, carafe will become ca-ram,
