General S.eedmsn made a speech at Toledo, Giro, on Monday night last, from which we make the subjoined ex tracts. After showing that the Presi dent was carrying out the policy of Mr Lincoln, and of true restoration of peace nnd the Union, ho proceeded. For doing that, they propose to im peach Andrew Johnson, and remove him irnm office, and put one of their own men in bis place. Well, now, I don’t want to tight with anybody. 1 have had fighting enough mysell, and 1 suppose you have. tStill 1 have no objection to a little fighting, if the men who did not fight in the last war, ch ose to have a little shindy among themselves. We wi l hold their hats; I but it they suppose tlio American peo-1 pie will quietly look on while a faction ■ deposes the President of the United i States, and takes posession of the Gov ernment w ith an armed mob, I say to! | them here that they are mistaken, j [Cheers.J And they had better not attempt it. [Applause ] For, while we do not want any trouble, while wo 1 prefer peace - not a painted peace, but a real bona Jvlc peace—while we do ; not want to discuss war with anybody, |if Mr. Ashley supposes that by oom ; irig'bcre ond throw ing Lis head back, 1 as he died in 1861, and talking about w ar, ho is going to frighten anybody, I sny to him he is very much mistaken, j [Applr U U ] V\ hile we uo not want to fi. at, wu vviH naver permit tin uj tn orptnir.i* ‘ ni nrod mohs, star! to \\ ujAhingtnn, ittuj take (rose ,-ion of the GiiVi rniimnt, tlrut 1 they may telegraph nil over the conn-, try that a loyal and patriot c Govciu-, ineirt has disjrosed Andrew Johnson.! I They won’t he permitfod to do it ft'heers.J The President is the trib rine of die whole people, lie repro-r sents the a hole people, and he is dkiingj liis duty faithfully and eoiistitut onally. lie i« laboring to restnr i peace and I harmony to the country, and to main tain di" Government, as .ve ourselves ecu'ended we had left it when the war end. 1. We hold that ti e Govern ment has preserved it—that it needed no political doctrine to be r.pp'iod to it—that when the army was dischnrg- J pd the Union was preserved, [Ap-! plaUse,! and 0,1 that was necessary was j for loyal men to put the machinery of! government in motion. These tStato governments in tiro South, that were, obstructed by the presenco <>f the rm;- itary, were they, ready for the people! to resume their work under them, and ! to put the machinery in mo ion, just as it was before the war; or else, it that were not so, then indeed ’.tie war was a failure—then, indeed, the rebellion was a success. If the rebels succeed ed in destroying the Government, of the Suites, the rebellion was a success, and the war was a failure, and every man here ought to have voted for the Chicagi platform. Now, I do not believe it is the in tention of the people of th’s country— ‘.he masses who are follow ing the lead of these fiery men—to engage in any such unholy work as attempting to take possession of the Government. 1 know that distinguished Aiassnchu set's General Benjamin F. Butler, [laughter,] says he is going to march from Massachusetts to Washington with lib militia. Well, now, he didn’t hurt anybody during Iho war, and l have no idea that he will hurt anybody now. [Laughter ] I have searched ' that gentleman's military record in vain tc find a place where he led a col umn lie never did load it anywhere. Perhaps he thinks, as he didn’t make any reputation in the last war, it is! rc es-ary for him to get up another! in order to redeem himself. [Laugh-' ter.] No d'.ubt General Butler had a 1 good many fierce people to deal with during the war; no doubt ho was pro voked a go'al deal during hie admin istration at New Orica.’ s, and goaded to say a great many things that do not look well on paper. 1 do not like to comment on any thing done by a Union General, but I am bound to say how that, throughout the war, General Butler was remar k aiile only for his severity to women ami children. [Cries of “Spoons!”] lie was very fierce to defenceless peop'e. That required no courage. People who were within our iin s, and whose protectors were gone—he was very harsh to them It is true, tl eir pro tectors had no right to go, and they deserved, perhaps, all they got—but no brave man would take an advan t'lgo of that kind against women and childre.—and G neral Butler is the only man that ecr did it. I under stand that ho complimented me in his speech to day, lie says ho approves some things I slid. lie approves of my proposition to give the negroes the ballot, who had fought, as well as I had. AYell I can’t return the compli ment about the fighting, for every ne gro that I saw in the army fought bet ter than Butler did. [Cheers.J I was willing to aid negroes then, but l have never seen the lime that l would nave voted to give the negro three hundr and dollars bounty, anil the white in in on ly one hundred dollars. New Regulations for Weigino and Marking Cotton. —“ The Commission er of Internal Revenue, with the approv al of the Secretary of the Treasury, (says the Mootgomry Advertiser,) has just issu 'd additional regulations con cerning the weighing and marking of eutt m, in which he states that since the publication of former regulations on that subject it has been determined to pro vide a metalic fog to be us< and by the As sessors, or uncPr his over igV, at the time the eoth n isfrM weighed, in place of the ‘tax paid’ tag heretofore used and also to appoint weighers of cotton in certain Idealities. Consequently the aforesaid regulations have been modified in s vcral mjutn t jcrticulars, to vtlieh the attention of assessors and collectors, directed. The appoint inert? of weighers ( f cotton will bo made under the authority col for, usd by section 8 of the act of July 13, 18G6, upon the Secretary, who will appoint, on the re commendation of the assessors of the respective districts, suitable persons to Weigh and mark cotton, at those du.-ig uatel places for weighing where the quantity of cotton and amount of labor may be at great that the as i *ant asses sors, located at such places, eauriot read ily and promptly perform the work re quired. ‘‘The fee for weighing anl marking cotton, including the labor of inserting the metalic lag, will be fifteen cents per bale until otherwise ordered ” The Macon and Brunswick Rail- J road —Tne Brunswick Courier in-' forms us that the muni ipa! authoritiis' of that place, with the expressed con sent of the people, have increased their 1 subscriptions to the capital stick of the R oad to three hundred thousand debars. The President, Mr. Hnalehurst aisured the citizens that with that large additional amount of stock, he thought 1 there oouid be no difficulty in making arrangements for tho purchase of tbe I iron and the layingof the track—the grading being almost completed, and a , matter of minor importance. The Cou-, 1 rier says five hundred thousand would 1 have been subscribed quite as readily if that amount had boea called for. i i:v-i»Bis.Mi>i:.v»’ «>Avis. 1 COGtiK-priMLIN'CE BETWEEN T 1; Id I’IIKSH.'ISNT and the AriOKNEY GENERAL.

Mr. iStanbury encloses a letter of the United States District Attorney for Vir ginia, who states, iu answer totheques tion why no demand had been made up iu the military auHiorities for the surrender of Mr. Davis, iu order that ho might be tried upon the indictment, found against him in tho Uuited States Circuit Court at the term heid at Nor— t.

The wiiter is ta'Li.ig ab utawar which is to follow cert; i,i coming-noils, and ssys : It will be a war in which there will be a fugitive President, followed by the ex ecrations of a betrayed and outraged people. There will be a war iu which this second trcusau will be made as oilius as i ver he wished the first to be made. There will be a war iu which the apostate traitor, styling himself Dictator, will become an object of na tFinal scorn duiiog the last hours of his miserable existence, and finally, in his exeeut on, furnish an example for nil coming time, ol the fate which trai tors and usurpers may expect at toe hands of a free people, devoted to their liberties. A Scene on the Prairies. —A cor respondent crossing the Western plains sends tho following from his diary : “To-day wo pasied a lame ox, turned adr ft to shift for its .If by some passing train. A floating bit of wood in mid ocean could baldly have b-'oa more bople-ly lost. Not far from the poor beast, I discovered a large white wolf tirigbtened at our appr ach, sneaking off through the grass. The rascal will be back soon, with a comrade or two, and then, we betide the poor ox. Thoy’il follow aud hurrass him for a time to as cirUin his speed and strength, and then gradually getting bolder with his heav iness, some will rush upon him in front while others ham string him from be hind, aud then there is a tearing of flesh, a snapping ol wolfish jaws, a licking of bloody lips.
