Carpet-Bag Governor Reed Impeached— Destruction ot the State Arms and Am munition. 1 Tallahassee, November 6,—Harrison Heed, Governor of the State of Florida, was im peached by the Legislature to-day, charged with high crimes and misdemeanors in office. The charges were preferred by Horatio Jen kins, President of the late Constitutional Conventional; three-fonrths of the members present voting in the affirmative. All the members were not in attendance. Gov. Heed will contest the case. His friends claim that the body now in session is illegal. The Leg islature may adjourn to-morrow. From the best accounts, it appears that the parties who destroyed the State arms on the railroad last night, must have forced the cars at Madison. They broke open the cases of rides and broke and distributed them along the track for several miles. The ammunition shared the same. fate. The arms cost the State twenty thousand dollars. From Washington. Washington, November 6.—Geu. Eoseeians leaves New York for Mexico by Saturday’s steamer. The following order has been received from the 'War Department, and is published for the information and guidance of all con cerned: Headquarters of the Abut, Adjutant-General's Office, Washington, October 31, 1868. Soldiers may, for certain offences not strictly military, be sentenced by General Courts-Martial to confinement in a peniten tiary. If any State in the Military Depart ment has made provision by law -for the: confinement in a penitentiary thereof, of prisoners under sentence by courta-martial of the United States, the Department Com mander may designate such penitentiary as a place for the execution of any such sentence to penitentiary confinement; bat if .no such provision has been made -by any State in the Department, the record will be forwarded to the Secretary of War for the designation of a penitentiary. The authority which has des ignated the place of confinement, or higher authority, can change the place of confine ment, or mitigate or remit the sentence. The same rules apply to prisoners sentenced by. Military Commission, so long as the law" un der which the Military Commission acted is in force; but when the law ceases to-be ope rative, tlie President alone can change the place of confinement, alter, mitigate or remit the sentence.

This malady, which has been the curse of Old England in times long past, which has been so terrible a curse to New England, from the beginning, and from thence has sent its virus, in greater or less degree, through all the States of this once happy Union, where it still spreads the poison, cannot well be said to be dying out in New England—but we do happen, now and then, to find some bold and just expression of opinion upon it in the region which still entertains it mostly, and which encourages us to hope that the season rapidly approaches when our political, social and moral atmosphere may be totally purged and set free from the pestilence. Very recently, in an oration delivered by the Hon. Arthur W. Austin, of West Rox- bury, Mass., we find him using this language. Speaking of Governor Dudley, Colonial Governor, he says: “that he possessed all the attributes of u sturdy Puritan, a class of people who were never happy except when they had somebody to quarrel with, or somebody to oppress." . Ain" Kindred with this is the following passage from the same oration: “ Ages ago, in the time of .Esop, an at tempt was made to wash the blackamoor white, but the blackamoor died under the operation. Experiments of a similar kind are now under trial, to fail. aB all others have failed before. The decrees of the first great cause cannot be overturned, cannot be set aside by man or devil. Satan tried the first experiment. That failed, as all such ex periments must fail which attempt to coun teract the ordinances or reverse the fiat of the 1’ilOll Fi’ijnjill ( • 5f - r These are all Puritan sentiments, and the devil is understood always to have shown himself a Puritan, when it became his policy to play the hypocrite. Elsewhere, the same writer, speaking of one of the great moral deficiencies of poli ticians and so-called statesmen, in our day, and especially in our country, uses the fol lowing language: “The want of courage in avowing opinion is a vice of our times. Too many conceal their opinions, when they happen not to be in harmony with the masses. They thus con- - contribute to aid the masses and perpetuate their abuses. He who is capable of forming an opinion, but, forsaking manhood, and a renegade from principle, falters, whether from fear or interest, either in politics or religion —acting contrary to his own well considered convictions—is a traitor to himself; his coun try, and his God !” . . - And the curse of Puritanism, U its native home, is to reriderthis very sort of treachery and hypocrisy, the absolute necessity of so ciety.' The same writer says: .1 •** “They Qthe-Puritans) if they cannot hate a man for his vices, will certainly do so for his virtues. Hate is the aliment upon which envy and hypocrisy thrive most, and they must hate in order to be reasonably happy. This is, perhaps, some excuse, referable to that peculiar demon which torments them.” In the little old volnme called “ Cabala, and containing the •‘Table Talk of King James the First,” we find a passage which fitly belongsrin this connection: “X never knew (said King James j that Fu- ritan that spake, .well of any man behind his- back, or took delight to do good to any; beiug covetous of his purse and liberal ot his tongue; so that he is always an ill neighbor aiida false friend.’ [ . e How true, at this very day, to the charac teristics of this meddlesome people; whose enormous vanity suffers nobody to be at peace, if they can mar it; and never beholds Wprdsperity of which it does not seek to rob the proprietor, even though they .add nothing thereby to their own posssessions. Let us look to made of the tribe by one of the greatest of the BntiBh SSwigDU of the present century. We quote from the “ History of England,” by the cele brated T. Babington Macaulay. He writes^speakiiig; of the iptalerance of and^emeurions and malignant characteristic^^, t ° “Public amusements,’ from the masques, whieh were exhibited at the mansions of the .rreat. down to the wrestling matches, and '«*?**- _ nr* village greens, were e ordinance directed England should be forthwith hflWW. down, a Another proscribed all theatrical diversions.

Captain Maury, formerly of the National Observatory, recently made an address: at an agricultural fair, near „. which he combated the i .unton, Virginia, in . —- prevalent idea' at the North that the South is lacking^n~energy and enterprise., He referred the, apparent supe riority of activity m the North to the fact that the-North tH-wnvnnfm»fnvmg and commer cial, whereby products are concentrated, and there is thereby a show of life and movement which is not seen in agricultural communities like the South, because labor is there diffused. Another reason he, considered; to be the statistics showing the rewards of labor ai thei ; j South were not foirly presented; and another ’ reason in the immense emigration from Eu rope, which has been, almost entirely absorbed by the North. On this point Captain hT.rftyi refers to the fact that, according to the census of 1790, the population of the United States was very nearly equally divided between the North and South; and according to the re-’ turns 'of the subsequent census, the ratio, of The President has signed the extradition, natural increase was greater at the "' ""atthe North,' but notwithstanding'this the population North, in 1860 was, in round num bers, eleven millions greater than that at the South. Taking this excess as the number of emigrants to that section since 1790, and their descendants and supposing that each rep resents an industrial capital of $400, he argues that the North has acquired $4,400,U00,000, not by any superior energy, but by the mere influx of labor from abroad. Of course it is only desirable that justice should be done each section, that no invidious comparison should be made. To sustain his vindication of Southern energy, Captain Maury mokes the following quotation from the report of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington, on com merce and navigation, for 1867: (From Table No 18—Bureau Statistics.)

[From tbe Xasbville Press, October^.] Dr. Joseph Jones, of our city, delivered, at Masonic.

Average bush els Indian corn in Southern States, 42|, in all the others, 19, in 1860. After quoting other statistics Commodore Maury continued: “Hr. Dulinai- estimates the population of the South for the year ending June 30th, 1866, at 9,568,709, and of all the States to gether at 34,505,882. According to this state ment the South in 1866 had very nearly the population that, the whole United States had m 1820; and what were the exports of the whole country in that year? $51,000,000. The South in 1866 exported, according to the same authority, $272,000,000, specie value, or more than five dollars to one. In 1850 the whole population of the United States was in round numbers 23,000,000, and the domestic exports amounted that year to $136,000,000. The South now, with not half the population of 23,000,000, exports $272,000,000—that is, 2 for 1.” i • Com. Mauiy anticipates the scoffing reply of the enemies of the South, which would pretend to attribute the large amount of fsur- rplus exports sent abroad to the superior labor of the freedmen, but suggests that six mil lions of whites have reinforced the labor of the country, much of which among the freed men has been demoralized. - In. regard to the unemployed water power of the Sonth, and the coal and iron mines lying idle, this, he alleges, is simply because agriculture’is more remunerative’to the South than any other in dustrial pursuits. It would seem entirely, unnecessary to the vindication of Northern energy that the Sonth, which certainly in the late war showed any thing but a want of vim and resolution, should he continually held up as wanting in enter prise and vigor. Until a recent period its aspirations have never led it very far into the field of manufactures and commerce, and have been on the whole, among its leading men, rather political than material ' It must be admitted that the Southern statesmen, who were for. so long a period and to a large extent at the head of the government; showed a capacity for advancing it in all the elements of power and greatness, and an administra tive energy which betokened qualities - of will and intfallectnal and moral force which have never been in this country surpassed. If the comparative physical disadvantages of the North have only stimulated it to the most ex traordinary .ingenuity and determination.-it. need not be denied that the South can give a good account of the blessings of soil and climate with which she is favored. That the South should even now, with not half the pop- Ulation of the United States in 1850, and just emerged from a war in which her soil, from end to end, has been trampled down and de vastated by hostile armies, and in which she has suffered a sacrifice of preperty, credits and values, estimated by Senator Doolittle as at least nine thousand million dollars, export two to one of the exports of the whole United States in 1850, is a wonderful fact, testifying to the prodigious reenperative “power of the soil aud the people. Such a region ought to be developed aud replenished by the industry of the whole country, for there is more than room enough and : incentives to labor for all in a region which is as large as Great Britain, France, Austria, Prussia and Spain; which has every variety of soil and climate; whose -- -yj e Euroi the past year were $2,000,000,. of the actorawhqiped.at .the cart’s-tml.

During the war, when the bands of the Federal forces, excavations mate' at Chattanooga, - Knox ville, Murfreesboro and Nashville, revealed a great many' curious' remains which were can ned away to the North. Previous to the labors of Dr. Jones, however, no systematical efforts had been entered into to collect and classify the antiquities and remains of the people who constructed the mounds and built the graves which are so numerous all over Tennessee. The Doctor commenced last year a series of explorations, which ho continued with unaba- ted ardor up to within a few weeks ago. The. result of lus labors iu the antiquarian field has been most gratifying. He has succeeded in collecting a finer array of relics and re mains than ever was secured of any other extinct American race. The rostrum of the hall last night was covered with a large num ber of implements, limnan remains, vases, ornaments, idols, etc., which had been ex humed under his supervision from the mounds of our State. The Doctor gave an acconntof his researches into a large mound in Giles county. Here, in the centre of the pyramid, he discovered the remains of a great chief, buried with-numerous relics, and around him the skeletons of some of his subjects. Drift ing into the sides of the artificial mounds, ashes, bits of pottery and bones of both hu man boings and animals were found,- mixed up in one incongruous conglomeration, often with beautiful specimens of vases and shell ornaments. Specimens of the bnmed crust of these mouuds, beneath the present soil, were exhibited. Two large stone idols were shown, carved out of a dark iron-colored rock, the largest some thirteen inches in height, and tiie others perhaps four inches less in stature. One represented a female, and has the hair gathered np behind under a diminutive sort of water-fall, while in the longer specimen, that of a nude, the hair was represented twisted into a sort of queue, not unlike the style of our forefathers in the Revolutionary times. The lecturer, to please the lady hearers, gave a short de scription of the lout ensemble of one of the femide mound-builders. With hair gathered in a graceful knot behind ears pierced and filled with huge riugs of shell or bone, nose likewise ornamented with an enormous bal ancing weight, she must have been an en chanting creature. Two copper crosses were exhibited, together with three vases, the out sides of which were divided into three reg ular compartments, having three crosses and three crowns, symbolic, the Doctor claimed, of the Christian religion, the Trinity and the Virgin Mary. The signs of the Catholic re ligion, he stated, were wonderfully prominent. in a great many of the relics thus for brought to light. Ou the great mound near Franklin, 230 feet in diameter, evidently stood a gigan tic temple of the suu. Religious Rymbols were plentiful there. Two remarkable vases were exhumed, one uot unlike a child’s foot, with the opening at the heel, and the other surmounted with a carved head with a hel met, having a remarkable resemblance to that of a Spanish cavalier. The speaker inferred from this that the extinct people were not nnfamiliar with the haughty race whose con quest in Mexico and l’uru read almost like romance of the. wildest character. Here he found, too, the skeleton of a child, the face of which was covered with a curious shell bearing occult hieroglyphics, among which could be distinguished perfect tri angles. This monnd was graced with the stump of a tree, which, when cut down twenty years ago, could not have beeii less than two centuries old. An idol exhumed from the mouth of Lick Branch, Nashville, was also displayed, and a small female effigy in white clay, with the marks of the cross upon the shoulders. The Doctor everywhere found traces that the aborigines of this coun try may have come in contact with civilized nations long before the discovery of America by Columbus. He gave a short sketch of some of the explorations of the Scandina vians, Danes and Icelanders, anddhe colonies they fonnded in the New World. But to these fearless navigators could not be ascribed the knowledge the mound-builders of Ten nessee had of tlie cross and the symbols of religion. It was rather to be referred to a late period, when the early Catholic missions were founded npon the shores of the New World some 300 years ago. In 1564 the Catholic sovereign of Spain was attacked with a terrible religious zeal, and he sent out one Francisco, with , a large, body of co-workers, to convert and evangelize the Indians. They .planted themselves at St Augustine, ou the shores of Florida, and for twenty-five years the . missionary was very successful. He founded a great many missions, and partially Christian ized a great many of the savages. Delegates were sent to the parent society of St Augustine and to the convent of St Helena. The Spaniads - appear to have encouraged marriages between the young people of their own race and those of the Indians, and to have lived' with them, on terms of the greatest intimacy. The mound-builders of Tennessee, the Doctor thought, must certainly have belouged to the great Natchez tribe,. who, coming from the South, spread themselves throughout the valley of the Mississippi and its larger branches. When in the height of their em pire, they probably numbered ,500,000. The- lecturer thought it extremely curious, the mixture of Christianity niid idolatry found among those people. While the great funda mental principles of the true-religion were so familiar to them, they worshiped stone effigies and adored the sun,' and were probably guilty of human sacrifices. The Doctor exhibited a great number of implements of warfilre, such as stone, axes, arrow-heads, knives, spears, &c. Also, culinery utensils, mortars Used for grinding Indian corn and paint. The lecture was listened to throughout with the greatest interest, but time fails us for more than a passing sketch of its riches. We un- d era fond that a scientific society, of the East will soon publish a book, from the pen of Dr. Jones, on the antiquities of our State, with particular reference to the mound-builders of Tennessee. We feel assured that it will prove one of the most interesting books of the kind ever published in this country. £6.291,208. ammiMb £6.905,941 in 1867, and £6;286,317.in- lfi6ft.;ThHrehas been a marked decline in exports- to.the United States.

On the 27th of Septem ber rain- commenced to fall in torrents along the northern and southern slopes of the Alps, and continued to decend, with but little in termission, for eight days. During all this time a powerful south wind raged furiously amidst the masses of snow and ice which had lain undisturbed for centuries in their inac cessible Alpine strongholds. Every mountain rivulet swelled into a rush ing stream, every stream into a torrent, car rying appalling destruction in its coarse. The rivers of Tessin, the Rhone, the Reuss, the Rhine, and the Inn, in their relentless power, obliterated many of the choicest beau ties of. nature, impoverished thousands of families, and hurried hundreds to a watery grave.'-' - j: • ■ — Heart-rending and vain was the straggle of human hands against the overpowering force of the watery element. On it came, in the dead of night, terrible in its might, scattering destruction far and wide, and piling np in the meadows the mountain debris of ages. Rocks weighing hundreds of tons were torn from their resting places, and in their course joined the revelry of destruction. Whole forests, vineyards and meadows stacked with grain, have disappeared, and, in many places, not a vestige of roads, bridges, and fences are left; houses, mills, and factories are torn from their foundations, and even cemeteries and charnnl-houses have been invaded, and their contents scattered along the coarse of the devastation. Thousands of cattle lie choked in mad, and thousands of our fellow- beings are reduced to abject poverty. A * * » _ » * W * Aud we, fellow-countrymen and brethren, shall we stand aloof ? Shall we leave un heeded the cry of distress, the pleading eye j cast over from beloved Switzerland? No, no, must be the ready response of every heart. The painful tidings from our sorely-visited brethren will find an echo here in bountiful ly-blessed’America.

Hundreds suffer on in aOeaoe, sod hundreds of others apply vainly to druggists and doctors, «bs either merely tantalize them with the hope of A euro or apply remedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do Injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to say that although it may be produced from excessive erhsnatlnn of ths powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole some air and food, profuse menstruation, tee use of tea and coffee, and frequent ohlldbirth, it isfaroftmer caused by direct irritation, applied to the ZBUCQUg membrane of the vagina itself When reviewing the causes of these distressing com plaints, it is most painful to contemplate the attendant evils consequent upon them. It is but simple justice to the subject to enumerate a few of the many addi tional causes which so largely affect the life, health, and happiness of woman in all classes of society, and which, consequently, affect, more or less directly, tew welfare of the entire human family. The mania that exists for precocious education and marriage cause* the years that nature designed for corporeal develop ment to be wasted and perverted in the restraints of dress, the early confinement of school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement of tee ball-room. Thus, with the body half-clothed, and the mind, unduly ex- cited by r 1a *”TTf. perverting in. midnight jXivel hours designed by nature for deep and rest, the work of destruction is ***** accomplished. In consequence ofteiaeariy strain upon her system, unnecessary effort is required by the daiicste votary to retain her situation In school at a later day, tens ag gravating the evil. When one excitement is over, another in prospective keeps tee mind morbidly sen sitive to imprer.riiou, while the now constant restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding tee exer cise indispensable to tbe attainment sad retention of organic health and. strength; the exposure to night air; the sudden change ot temperature; the complete prostration produced by excessive dancing, must, of necessity, produce their legitimate effect. At last, mxt early marriage caps the climax of misery, and the un- fortunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remonstrances of her delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject &f medical treat ment. This is but a truthful picture of the experlefic* of thousands of our young women. EXECUTOR’S SALE.
