To-day (Tuesday) the Radicals in
Congress have set apart for taking the
vote on impeaching the President. We
doubt, very much whether the vote is
not now exist. The ordinance passed
by the Convention for that purpose
took the people of the State by sur
prise and shocked their notions both
of justice and expediency. The argu
ments that Milledgeville is not of easy
access lias heen silenced by building
the Warrenton & Milledgeville Rail
road to Milledgeville, by which, to
gether with her other Railroad facili
ties, Milledgeville is as easy of access
as any town or city in the State. The
public buildings have lately been re
paired and beautified at great expense,
so that they will now compare favor
ably with those of almost any State
in the Union. Milledgeville also con
tains ample Hotel and boarding bouse
accommodations, is proverbially heal
thy, quiet, peaceable and* well adap
ted to legislation. Here theifis a quiet,
healthy town in the geographical cen
tre of the State, ‘with every public
building and convenience necessary
for legislation, where, on the faith of
the State that it should be the perma
nent capital of the State, people have 1
from Milledgeville. those reasons do j taken to-day. The Radicals are divi
ded on the subject, some want to hur
ry through the business, and others
want to put it off until after the Chi
cago Convention. We have never be
lieved that two-thirds of the Senate
were so debased as to vote for im
peaching the President merely for try
ing to sustain the Constitution, but a
few days will tell the story.

New York, May 5, 1868.
Beautiful May has come at last, and
brought with her tardy Spring. The
air here is still keen and even cold,
but in the grass-plat before my door
I see tiny feathery sprays of bright
green rising almost perceptibly above
the dead leaves of last year, which
teach us the beautiful lesson of na
ture’s love even in death; for those
same dead leaves protected the tender
roots all tbrough the long cold winter,
and now as spring comes, and new
buds burst forth, they loose themselves
from the mother root,sink in the earth
at her feet, and pass away even as our
dead, tu he resurrected through the
bought lots and built hotels and board- j newly born leaves of Spring. Most of
ing houses and made every prepara-! the trees are still bare of leaves.
seen now, but most beautiful are the
Believ- j delicate pearl leaves on gilt stems,
I which are worn on bonnets of frosted
crape. I am indebted to Madame
j Demorest for the beautiful bonnets I
have so imperfectly described. Balmo-
! ral skirts are still worn, and are made
■ of lighter material than those for win-
I ter. Gaiters in all colors are in fash
ion, but nothing is so pretty as the
simple black gaiter. Linen collars
are worn by all and at all times, even
to public receptions by handsomely
dressed ladies. Lace gloves are not
worn here at all. and the kid must be
the color of the suit worn. The styles
of hair dressing are peculiar but pretty.
I will describe some of these in my
next.

A Scandalous Falsehood.—A sto-
host said, “that will do iom; you can
go.” But Tom did not go. Observ
ing that his orders were not obeyed
the contractor retorted, “I toid you
to go, Tom. If I want you, I’ll ring.”
Still Tom hung about the door aud did
not retire. At last very much wor
ried at his contumacy, New York
turned upon Ethiopia, and said stern

And so, without a single yawn from

oceans of lemonade, drew them to the
dinner spread for them by the commit

Odities of Literacy Men.—Mr.
Thackeray never begun upon less than
a quire of letter paper. Half of this he
would cover with comic drawings; a
fourth he tore up into minute pieces;
and on two or three slips of the remain
der he would do his work, walking
about with his hands in his pockets,
and with a perturbed and woe-begone
expression of countenance. Some men
bite their nails; and others stab the
sides of their chairs with pen knives;
others tear the fronts of theirsliirts;

contest to win. Baker will always be
reiied upon hereafter as one of the
most gallant and patriotic counties in
the State of Georgia, worthy to occu

wealth. Scalawags cannot exist in so
healthy an atmosphere, or among so
incorruptible a people.

A Washington special to the Bos

conviction, the white settlements were
expected to go Democratic. We are
astonished at-the reversal of this natur
al order of things, and feel so keenly
the deep disgrace and stinging humil
iation, that we dare not indulge our
inclination to write. At one time we
entertained a purpose to change our
base, in the event of Radical success,
and seek repose among the white peo
ple in a different portion of the State;
but the developments of the election
have fastened upon our min 1 the con
viction that the negro is a better man
than the white scalawag, and that we
should suffer by the change. There
seems to be as much political virtue
and integrity among the colored peo
ple of Southwestern Georgia, as ex
ists among a large portion of whites in
Middle and Upper Georgia, and we
proudly assert that they are safer cus
todians of the franchise. We see no
reason longer to oppose negro suffrage.
We are disposed to make him a voter
in order to rescue the State from car-
bet-baggers and scalawags.

The Washington correspondent of the

The strongest’kind of pressure is
still being brought to bear in order to
assure the success of impeachment, as
the Radicals see in its defeat nothing
but an almost hopeless cause. John
Covode, of Pennsylvania, received a
private letter from Gov. Brownlow, ol
Tennessee to-day, in which the expect
