BT MILES O'BBILLT. [Recited by Judge Dslv, at ttao dinner of the Friendly Sons of 8L Patrick, March 17.] God’s blessing and His holy smile On the emblem-leaf of Erin’s Ule Onr green. Immortal shamrock! From Irish hills, though fir away, Through this bright Western land we stray, From every leaf there comes a ray Os the olden light— of tho oldon day, While gazing on the shamrock. . Saint Patrick found upon the sod This emblem of our triple God, And tanght ns by the shamrock The mystery of our creed dlvlue, How one In three distinct may riiinc, Yet throe In one, as leaves, combine, And their joint blessings intertwine— ’Tis a lcason from tho shamrock. And the three virtues which are dear To Irish hearts, are emblemed here Within onr tnree-leaved shamrock: Fidelity, that knows no end To country, sweetheart, faith or friend; Courage, that no reverse can bend : And Hospitality—all blend Their types within the shamrock. 8o may Heaven’s blessings, choice and chief, Bedew each petal of thy leaf, Our own immortal shamrock ! And mayest thou, In this Western clime, As long ago, In Ireland’s prime, Be emblem of a faith sublime In God and Country, through all time— Onr green and glorious shamrock. And may onr proud and ancieht race, Uprooted Irom the dwelling place where grew this votive shamrock, Still keep this night, where’er they fly, Sacred to memories dear and high, Os the land where all our kindred lie In the green graves, made beauteous by Thick verdure of the shamrock. God bless the old dear spot of earth, God bless the green land of our birth, Where grew this bunch of shamrock ! And blessings on this generous land Which welcomes with a lavish hand, Each year, the sad and stricken band Os exiles from the silver strand Where grows the saintly shamrock! “Rally! Rally! Rally!” That’s the heading of a call in the city (f) of Madison, for next Saturday, for a “ bully” meeting of the intensified Demo cratic Hornsnogglers, to hear Ben. Hill, General Gordon, and last, but not least, our up-the-street neighbor, General (?) A R. Wright, together with other distin guished speakers. Well, gentlemen, we ean spare our Ranse a short while, but don’t you keep him long. We can’t afford to spare him to you. His invaluable services to the Republican party of Georgia are too precious. Now, mind, good people, and don’t keep the General too long “among yees.” > ♦ m Varney A. Gaskill, Esq. We publish Varney’s card this morning. We held it back for the last thing last night, fearing that Varney would annouuce another change before we could go to press, but, not having heard from him up to the time of locking the form, we submit it to the public this morning. The Irwin-Reese side of politics neediug some crumbs of comfort, we submit this card to them.— Atlanta Era, 22 d imt. • Progress of Ibc Campaign. From all parts of the State comes the intelligence of the unprecedented success of the Bullock ticket. The people are awaking in every county. Ratification meetings are being held. Men of all stations in life are declaring for Bullock and the Constitution, because they see peace and prosperity as the sure conse quence of its adoption. —New Era. Judge Reese Declines. It was rumored on the streets, last even ing, that Judge Reese declines to be a candidate for Governor. The fight will probably be between Bullock and Irwin— Bullock carrying the State by 20,000. — New Era.

COTTON.—We left the market at the close of our last weekly review, on Monday last, firm at 25c for New York Middlings —the sales of that day being 30 bales, and receipts 388 bales. On Tuesday, during the forenoon, the market was dull and inactive, but on receipt of noon advices enlivened, and prices stiffened, quoting New York Middlings at 245a25c. Sales, 172 bales; receipts, 409 bales. On Wednesday the market was firm, with but light offering stocks —buyers and holders stood off. The former offering 24c, and the latter demanding 24$c. Sales, 198 bales; receipts, 400 bales. On Thursday the staple was quiet and languid. But few sales transpired, and 24c (Weak) was the figure for New York Mid dlings. Sales, 373 bales; receipts, 342 bales. On Friday the fleecy staple continued in its downward career, and the light offerings brought from 23a231c for Middlings. Sales, 124 bales ; receipts, 344 bales. On Saturdav the market was quiet, clos ing nominally at 23 jc with very little offer ings, and but little demand. Sales, 130 bales ; receipts, 177 bales. To-day (Monday) the market has been very quiet, but little being done, and we leave the market at its close, firm, at 23£c, for a full style of New York Middlings. The stock on hand, at the close of the week, was 13,330 bales. BACON.—The active demand for this article, which we have chronicled for several weeks’ past, has rapidly decreased, nor have the prices been uninfluenced by the falling off in inquiry, but have also taken a retro grade course, as will be seen by reference to our table of qaotations. Notwithstanding the sparsity of demand, the stocks are light, as arrivals have been limited, aud the few sales that have transpired have been at irregular rates. CORN continues about in statu quo, with light arrivals, aud moderate stocks. The demand is fair, but sales are not heavy, at figures given in our prices current. WHEAT is scarce, and in great demand. Reds especially are sought after at $2.85a $2.90. FINANCIAL.—We quote as broker’s rates—Gold: buying, 1.39; selling, 1.40. Silver: buying, 1.30; selling, 1.33.

Cincinnati, March 20, 1868. The provision market during the early part of the week was rather dormant, owing in part to the panic in New Orleans, and dullness in New York, but holders feeling that this was but tem porary, and that they could afford to hold their stock, did not meet the views of buyers, and withdrew their stuff from market, believing that by the time the season of Lent expires (during which half of the whole community fast from meats, especially hog meats) the demand will improve, in fact, it is now improving in antici pation of this fact, Snd orders within a few days past have been larger than during the past two weeks, and at the close, a much better feeling prevailed in all articles. Tho market closing strong at my quotations below. MESS PORK has been quiet, until within a day or two, when it advanced to $34.50 for choice city, with buyers at 25c less. Country depends on its quality as to price. Old Mess sold at $24. RUMPB are in good demand, and sells at sl7 to sl9 according to quality. LARD has advanced about 1c since my last, closing with but few sellers under 16c for city kettled, and buyers at X less. Keg scarce and in but moderate demand at 16%c.

BACOS is in better request, with buyers at 11, 13J. 14, and 141, packed, for shoulders, sides, clear rib, and clear sides—holders, at the close, refusing to sell, except at i above these figures. S.

A bill re-organizing the Circuit Courts of the United States was referred to the Judiciary Committee. At 12} o'clock Mr. Wade announced the suspension of business for the impeachmen order, which was argued until one o’clock, when Mr. Chase proclaimed the Court open —the Journal was read, the managers were informed that the President's Counsel had appeared, etc. Davis submitted a motion that the Senate as constituted, did not constitute an impeach ment Court as was contemplated by the Constitution. Ten States,without their con sent, are being ignored. Only Davis and McCheery, both of Ken tucky, voted aye. Chase intimated that the Court was ready for the President’s answer. Stanberry said it was ready, but counsel had devoted every hour allowed—ignoring private business, aud encroaching on habit ual refreshment and recreation—to its pre paration. Curtis, Stanberry, and Evarts each read in turn. In answer to the first article, the Presi dent argues all the questions involved, and his duty under the circumstances, claiming his constitutional power of removal. He considers the organization of the War Department and the relations of the Secre tary of War to his administration, claiming him as his constitutional adviser, and show ing the President’s responsibility for the Secretary’s actions. He proceeds to show that Stanton had become hostile to the Administration, and could no longer occupy the position toward the Administration contemplated by the Fathers, and that the President could no longer assume responsibility for his actions, lie further claims that the action of the Senate did not restore Stanton to the War Office, but that the War Office was techni cally vacant when he appointed Thomas. Familiar laws and precedents were quoted at length to sustain this position. He deuies having violated, or intended violating the Constitution or laws. In answering the second article, the Presi' dent asserts at length that the War Office was vacant, and quotes laws to sustain Thomas’ appointment. His answer to the third is a genera} denial. In answering to tho fourth he denies any conspiracy whatever. His action was confined to the notes to Thomas and Stanton, appointing one and removing the other. And in answer to the fifth, sixth and seventh, the same allegations occur, all backed by the assertion that he had no object whatever but to maintain the pre rogatives of his office by legal means. In answering the eighth he disavows any intention to taking possession of the money or property of the War Office, and again insists by argument, illustration and prece dent, that he acted in a constitutional manner. In answering the ninth article he quotes the interview at length, and his protest against the rider to the army appropriation bill, in which he claimed, as he still claims, that it deprived him of his constitutional duty of commanding the army. In answer to the tenth article the Presi dent denies that the specification gives the truth in its verbiage, statement or argument, in quoting from his speeches, and in ease Senators entertain charges, he demands full investigation of what he said and moaned. In this answer, the President claims—in a spirit somewhat defiant—his freedom of speech. He claims that though President, he is an AraeriSan citizen. In answerihg to the eleventh article, he claims that ho can not answer it, because it designates no design, device, or attempt in volving action which could bo construed into a high misdemeanor. The President retains the right to add to this answer. The managers announced thai their repli cation would be ready to morrow at one o’clock. The President’s counsel asked for thirty days. Two hours’ argument ensued. Thirty days was refused by a strict party vote of 41 to 12. Motion to postpone fixing the time until after tho replication by the House failed. Johnson moved, allowing ten days as amendatory to the motion from the Presi dent's counsel, for a reasonable time, but the Court and Senate adjourned. House. —The House, under call, passed a bill subjecting the master’s and mate’s mer chant service to examination, and establish ing a marine school. Bill passed appropriating money for the improvement of the Mississippi river. The House proceeded in Committee of the Whole to the Senate. On their return Bingham informed the House that the President’s answer had been anticipated, and that the Managers were ready. On motion, the llouso meets at eleven to morrow to consider the replication. Adjourned. Arkansas Election, etc. Memphis, March 23.—A dispatch from Little Rock says the elections are completed in but few counties. Partial returns show a large falling off in the negro vote, aud the majority against the Constitution will be larger than was anticipated. Tho whites have voted almost unanimously against it. The Yallabusba aud Yazoo rivers are over their bauks. Sergeant Bates. Columbia, March 23.—Sergeant Bates left Columbia this morning for Charlotte, N. C. He expects to arrive in Richmond on the 9th of April and at the Capital on the 14th. Washington Items. Washington, March 23. —Commodore Biddle’s sword has been recovered. Thief at large. The telegraph is still deranged. Cable speciala to the Herald say that the Pope gave a very gracious reception to Far ragut and suite. The Admiral will remain in Rome a month. Garibaldi has written a letter to U. 8. Minister Marsh, declining to be an agent of the U. S. Government. The decision in the McArdle case goes over to the next term by a vote of 6 to 2. The defeat of the Arkansas Constitution is by actual votes cast against it. The Panama Railroad Company paid $1,000,000 to Colombia for anew contract. At one o’clock the Court is organizing its routine. Like the last session, it will con tinue during an hour. IMPEACHMENT SCENE. More fashion in the galleries to day. Con fusion regarding proceedure almost painfully evident. Chase had his hands full in restraining Howard, Drake, and others from amending the motions of managers on either side, and failing there, moving to table them. The effect of the President’s answer was somewhat overwhelming. Stanton par roting the President in saying, that in con* sideration of his high character induced him to retain the office—which excited quite a grin between Washburn, of Illinois, and Schenck, of Ohio, beyond which, the utmos| gravity prevailed. The countenances of the impeachers were evidently lengthening as the answers proceeded to its|close. The votes to day indicated nothing beyond a desire on the part of the Republicans to hurry the matter through. The Republicans, who are regarded as certain to vote finally from evidence aud law, voted against thirty day?, after reflection. The managers insist mainly on the ground of public interest, that the unfortunate disa* greement between the two branches may be removed, and that the trial be pushed so that peace may be restored to the country, Logan was spokesman of the managers to day. His house style contrasted strongly with the quiet eloquence of the President’s counsel. The President’s answer covers seven columns. During the session to day, Butler apolo gised for inadvertently calling the Senate Court, President's counsel habitually say Mr.Chief Justice, and Court. The Managers! Mr. President and Senate. Supreme Court. Washington, March 23.—There has been no official announcement regarding the intention of the Court in the McArdle case. In the original case of Georgia vs. Grant, et. al., the Court orders that notice the motion for a preliminary injunction be served on parties, returnable before Friday next.
