Impeachment-
The whirl of events at Washington
toward the vortex of anarchy, or the
terrific despotism ot an infuriated popu
lar majority, appears to be unmistakable.
The recent discussion in the House on
the motion of Mr. Ashley to instruct the
Judiciary Committee to proceed with
the investigation authorized by the
resolution ot Jan. 7, reveals a disregard
not only of the respect due to the
Executive officer ot the Government,
but a deplorable want of dignity and
good breeding. The following extract
from Mr. Ashley's opening tirade, is a
fair sample of the animus of the so'
called “investigation
Sir, inch a man as Mr. Johnson. coming
into tbe Fresiaenvv as he cause into it, a
man at his mental and moral culture—l say
nothing of the dark suspicion that crept
over the minds of men as to his complicity
is tha assassination of Mr. Lincoln, nor of
the faot, which I cannot banish from my
saind, of the mysterious connection between
hi* death and the treachery of his successor
—1 say that such a man, in view of all that
has happened, coming into the Presidency
as he came into it, should hare walked with
unco re red bead, and vary humbly, in the
presence of the loyal men of the umt-on, and
of their Representatives in the American
Congress. JLf this nation does not brand
with the broad Seal of its condemnation the
usurpations, and crimes, and misdemeanors
of Ibis man, it will be but an invitation in
the iuture tor a repetition ot his usurpations
and of his demeanor. Celt protection, and
a desire to preserve the honor of the nation,
demand that the Representatives of the
people shall declare, iu a manner not to be
misunderstood, that no man hereafter sleeted
President or Vice President, shall present
himself at his inauguration, drunk, or shall
he turn the White House into a deu of
thieves and pardon brokers, nor shall he be
permitted with impunity to usurp the pre
rogatives of Congress, and to assail this
body with indeeeul language all over the
country.
Mr. Ashley was interrupted by the
Speak?r, as exceeding the license ot de
bate, and, as he sat down, a member
from Pennsylvania pertinently inquired
if there was a lunatic asylum near! He
was denounced by his colleague, Mr.
Spaulding, as guilty of consummate
folly in arraigning the President as he
had done, and declared that the whole
movement was an unmistakable purpose
to get rid of the Presideut, because he
was in the way of what his enemies call
“progress.'' lien. Butler accepted the
purpose nsrigned by Mr. Spaulding,
and. af:er contending that a majority of
Congress, as at present organized, had
the clear right to act, he insisted that it
was of very little consequence whether
or no: secret crimes were charged against
the President, “for.” said he “if any
man stands in the wav of the great
march o! this couutrv to honor, to glory,
to peace, to unity, to happiness, to lib
erty, and to law, he must be taken out
of toe way by a constitutional method.”
Messrs. Brooks. Fernando Wood,
Chandler, and Pram, all from New
York, denounced the proposed im.
peaehmer.t in the severest terms,
and asked why members had not
made these discoveries of immoralitv
and usurpation on the pin of the Presi
dent before. Mr. Chandler declared
tha: the stock jobbers of Wall street
would not give Mr. Ashley ; > nmch i!
a leather medal for his proceedings. The
rescMttioa toairtrctiog the Judiciarr
Committee to continue the investigation
was adopted without a division.
The tending Xew York pipers con
demn the renewal of the impeachment
agitation. The Tunes says that im- i
peathmect was intended to be the rem- ‘
edy for great evils—the penalty for
great crimes—and if it mvy be used as
a weapon of party warfare, it will be
long to as! parties alike, and vkih we
may use it today, another may use it
to-morrow, and thus force will be sal
atitatod iar the constitutional mode of
administering the government. Bat
what cares Congress for constitutional
sentries or the usages of Use lathers of
the goven-.ateut, when such nntMjaated
eonsidenuisas stand in the wav o! the
•access of their party police ?
Public Meeting at Dalton.
The Cherokee Georgian contains the ,
proceeding* of a meeting iu Dalton,
called to take action on the restoration ‘
ot the State to represcauthm ia Ota.
gross. Col. 11 m. K. Moore was called '
to the Chair, and F. M. Langley. Esq,
acted as Secretary. Judge L>. A. ;
Walker, of the Supreme Court, addressed
the moriaag, advocating aa immediate 1
reaqeaios lo all the requirements of
the bill knowa as the Sherman Amend, j
mem. that has just passed Congress for
the m-onatrncoon of the Southern
Slates, and moved the appointment of \
a comuiui.ee of seven to draw ap tastier .
lor the aguoa of the meeting. This
mouou mas carried, and the chairman
appointed the following committee :
Uoa. D. A. Walker, Chairman; .Col.i
J. A. W. Johnson, Samuel H. Baker,,
Esq, N. V. Cooled ga, T ANARUS( U. Pitner,!
Joseph Guthrie, and CoL C. E. Broyles, j
The committee repotted ixmoitiuvna I
expressive of a desire for past* and
harmony; a determination to discharge
every duty of loyal ciiixcns, and ac
cepting the Sherman bill ae a condition
of restoration. The Governor was re
quested to convene the Legislature
without delay.
Col. J. W. Aeeryoffeiedns asebstitute,
resolutions which expressed no opinion
on the Sherman hill, but simply request
«and the Governor to call a convention,
or if he did not foe) authorised to do
that, that he call the Legislature together,
to consult fur the beet ißtereets of the
State in the present crisis. This sub
stitute was voted dowu, and the report
of the committee was adopted. The
meeting, owing to the rain, was not
large, but embraced a respectable num
ber of the best citizens of the vicinity.
[eoXMtmCATSD.]
Got. Brown and His Opponents.
Mr. Editor: I am glsd to see that in
the controversy which has ariseu in re
gard to Gov. Brown’s proposition to ac
quiesce in the requirements of the
Sherman bill, you appear williug that
both sides of the question shall be dis
cussed iu your columns, I, therefore, ask
the insertion of what follows, desiring
to premise that its publication by you
shall not be considered as committing
you, pro or eon, on tho question in
volved, though, to be candid with you,
Mr. Editor, the time for non-committal
has passed for every man who loves his
country.
Gov. Brown’s letter has aroused a
storm ot indiguaticti otvthe part of the
press, and a portion ol the people, which
appears uncalled for. His proposition
is, simply, that we submit ourselves to a
fate that we cannot avoid, and obey the
law making power of the country. No
arguments have been advanced, so far
as 1 have seen, why we should not ac
cede to this proposition ; on the contrary,
the course adopted by his opponents
indicates that they have no arguments.
He is assailed with personal abuse, and
his motives arc impeached. Now, I
have never been ail admirer of Gov.
Brown, and never voted for him, but 1
do not think him incapable of eivinj
sound advice, especially on this subject,
upon which be is, perhaps, better posti-d
than any man in the State. As to his
motives, I care nothing for them. The
question is. is his advice good? It may
be dictated by self interest; he may
wish to save bis property from confisca
tion, it so, so much the better for us.
he is the more likely to be sincere in
his anticipations of the dangers ahead.
It may do for those who have nothing to
lose to shut their eyes to the danger,
and deride the voice of warning, but
those who are in the same boat with
Got, Brown, and have property at stake,
had better heed his counsels—self in
terest. in this case, only makes him the
safer adviser.
It is useless to disguise the dangers
with which we are threateued. The
masses ot the North are daily becoming
more and more radical, and the most
extreme men are but little in advance
of the masses. They offered us the
Ameudtr.ent, which our Legislature fool
ishly rejected for weak and unsound
reasons assigned, though for a powerful
reason in reaiitv, to-wit, that it forbade
them from holding office. We might
have avoided negro suffrage by nccept-
I ing it—noue but the ultra Radicals in
j Congress desired to force negro suffrage
! U]>on us, now the whole party in Cou
! gross have aligned themselves with the
ultras, since we have rejected the
Amendment, and we have not ouiy to
accept that, but negro suffrage and mil
itary rule besides. If we reject the
terms now offered, what next? Nothing
but confiscation and total disfranchise
ment of the whites. If one turn of the
rack will not make the sufferer succumb,
another or another will. There are
thousands upon thousands of peop e at the
i North hungering for the fair fields ot the
) Sooth to be parcelled out among them.
| They have been taught by Democratic
precept that “to the victors belong the
i spoils," and if we persist much longer
J in our contumacy, sooner or later they
i will force their representatives up to the
I point ot bestowing oa them the coafisca
! ied property of Southern rebels.
And why *re we compelled to encoun
ter these accumulated evils, «ud on
; whose account shall we risk utter ruin?
. We are told that we are called upon to
i sacrifice our best and most eminent
■ men, and by sO erifice is meant that
they are to be precluded from office
I for a time ! Well, do we owe them so
; much gratitude? Have they done such
mt ritorious service th-.t we* should sac
-1 rsfice ourselves and the heritage of our
! children and the prosperity of ©nr
* cc-natry. that thev should "eniov the
. sweets of office? The gratitude and the
j sacrifice is due from theta to us, who
made them eminent—not from us to
j them. Do we owe them gratitude for
! plunging us into an unneeessarv and
: disastrous war ignorantly or knowi -gir
—if iguoraut'r. they have too Kttle fore
sight arid sagacity to advise and guide
a people—if knowingly, and if they
knew tfcevwere deceiving us when thev
told us that secession would net resit?!
in war. ought they to be trusted as a::-. ?
Do we owe them gratitude tor project:
ting that war after they kr.ew the cause
was desperate—for refusing to make
peace, when it corf 1 have been done
wiih honor, when by doing so thousands
of lives would have been saved, our
slave property would have fceeu kept or
paid lor, nrs-i ocr State spared from de
vastation ? Do we owe them gratitude
lor prompting the rejection of ife late
, terms of .-ettlement and thus bringing
upon negro suffrage and tuiutarr
ru’e? But we are told by the flunkies
and £ .Hirers ot these “eminent mew”
that doaor forbade the acceptance of
th.-se terms. Truly their ideas of honor ;
are something like Faisus*s—“honor:
prt.is them on” when they are required I
to consent to the emanc:patios of other
people** slave*, ©c the repudiation of
the public debt, but “ honor pricks them i
•>3" again " when the spoils of office are !
in danger. “ Cparta has manv worthier
sess than they.” and the people are get
ting fired ©f making sacrifices, and of
this siaag abort eminent men. The pop- 1
a .ar current is rising aud emmeui men ,
must go with it. bland aside, or be over
whelmed.
A vagae hope is held out that j
from some quarter, or some how. rescue j
wilt come from the ruts uuavotdahie it
the terms now offered are rejected, and
we are advised to lie still, do nothing.
»:i4 wait for the tnauifeslaiious of Prov- (
tder.ee. Like Esop's wagoner, it is ex- j
peeled that merely callin' oa Hercules '
to get our wagon Out Ot' the mud, wi<] |
do it without putting out own shoulders
to tile wheel. S .ire look wits confidence ;
u> the bupteme Court, some to the Pres- j
iJcut, s.-iuc to the Democratic party at ;
She North, some to a change in the sen- ;
Luteal of the Northern people. As to’
the >ui reare Court, iu decisions are as j
uncertain under present circumstances, J
as ohog* Dooly aaid was the verdict of
a petty jury, since Congress has the
power to remodel it, aud wiil not permit |
it to stand in the way. The President
ia powerlesa, honest as his intention*
may he, against the Radical majority of
Congress. The Democratic party was
afflicted with-the “dry rot” many tears
ago, according to Mr. Stephens, aud has
dwindled away under the influence of
the malady, until it ha* become con
temptible "for want of talent, powerless
for good or evil, and so insignificant in
members, that to call it not a partv, but
a faction would be conferring dignity
opon it. What can be expected of a
party whose only victories are in some
petty State, and whose only evidence of
vitality is some such telegram as this,
heralded all over tha country us some
thing tremendous, and for which you
hare to pay, Mr. Editor:
“ FROM TKOT.
“ Troy, N. V., March 6.
“The Democrats hnvo carried the
charter election here.”
As to the hopes of any abatement of
the hostility of the Northern masse* and
safety from that source, let the elections
for the present Congress answer, and
let it be remembered that added to that,
hostility, is the hope of sharing in the
confiscation of Southern property.
There is no Hercules to render us
effective aid, we must get our own
wagon out of the mud, and we had best
set about it without delay, having first
unloaded it of the crowd ot “eminent
tneu’’ which makes the task more diffi
cult, and who ought to be foremost to
pul their shoulder to the wheel.

Episcopal Methodist Church
Messrs. Ed Hors: As it is a matter ot
interest to Methodists generally, permit
us to say that the action of the Balti
more Conference on the question of laT
representation and change of the name
of the M. E. Church, South, has been
received, and we are gratified to learn
that the name of the Church has been
changed from Methodist Episcopal
Church South to Episcopal Methodist
Church, and, also, lav representation
adopted by a unanimous vote —lO4 yeas,
nays none. Thus the Church no longer
bears a sectional name, and lay repre
sentation will ensure the unity of
Methodism South.

Voting.
Mr. Editor :—Permit me to suggest
that you cannot in any way better
subserve the public good than by urging
upon every citizen the importance of
voting at our approaching municipal
election. The law requires that all who
vote shall be registered ; but up to the
present time very few have complied
with that necessary condition. Let
everyone feel that it is his duly to vote,
and secure a registry certificate at once.
It is not only important that all should
vote, but a ticket should be selected on
which all w ho have the City's interests at
stake can harmonize. Will you not
urge this important subject on your
readers? Citizen.

V. Richards & Rros.,
T> ESPECTFULLY ANNOUNCE TO THEIR FRIENDS THAT THEIR BUYER IS
A-w now in New York, selecting their Stock of Spring Goods, a portion of which is now
being received, and in a short time the assortment will be complete. They will guarantee
that in extent, variety, beauty, and cheapness, it shall not be surpassed bv anv house in
the City.
In thus calling attention to their Spring Stock, they take occasion to return their
sincere thanks for the exceedingly liberal patronage bestowed upon them during the last
season, and to secure to their house the confidence of the Southern people ard a constantlv
increasing trade, they promise that no pa-ns shall be spared in selecting goods sailed to
their wants and selling them at prices that will defy competition. They will also state
that their New Store has now been completed in every particular, and in its internal
arrangements every advantage that could be secured to the customer has beeu studied
and carried out.
The office which, during last season, was in the centre of the store, has been
moved to the rear, aud in its place a convenient department for Cloaks and Shawls has
boen arranged.
Under the skylight, aco'her counter has been placed, for Silks and other fire goods.
The original design in the front has been carried out, by adding, at ac ost of one thousand
dollars, immense show windows of the best French plate glass, making it one of the
mo4t attractive front? to be foutfd North or South.
And now that the house is completed, they have decided to call it the “ FREDE
RICKSBURG STORE.” by which name it w U be known in the future, and to which they
cordially invite all who like fair dealing, polite clerks, good goods, and low prices.

The present sample shows a very alvantage.'.os mixture. I? has enough of Peruvian
Guano (say 25 per cent, for any soil or crop : while the great bulk of tbe preparation
is obviously an unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with consi*3erable
already formed Amtr.ouia (and tbe material for iis continued production as required by j
the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of j
which is in a soluble state. If kepi up to tbe standard of this sample, there is no hazard in j
predicting that lauds treated wi-.a 250 or ;00 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in
an effective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD.
Knowing the composition, as well a* judging frvm tbe analysis and report of Prof, i
Shepard, we are confident it will prove to be an excellent MANURE, and pay any}
Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend ;he use of 175 to 260 j
pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn : 259 to SfnJ pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied ;
the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in ;he hill for Corn, and broadcast
ter Wheat. This Guano is ready for use, all the letups haring been thoroughly ground. J
and the whole passed through a serve before packing, and it is a very hands, me article
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels of about pounds, and bags of
209 pounds, and the price will be uci&rm, as foik-ws : $65 per Ton of 2,00*0 pounds, !
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at tbe same price, with necessary expenses added.
We are now prepared to deliver this Gaanc in quantities to suit, and solicit orders
for the same, which wiil be promptly ailed.
We will also keep, both here and in Savannah, a good supply of Pure No. I
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at the market price : also. Pure No. 1
PH (EX IX GUANO, at $55 per lot of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or $W here—Cash.
All orders should be addressed to us at AUGUSTA, GA.
