A Mr. Waldro of the Northern Metho dist Church, a resident of Chicago, has lately written a letter that the New York 7 hues very curiously calls “curious.” Linleu, and judge for yourselves: He takes the ground that all Government is based on the religious ideas of those who carry it on, and that the Northern Metho dists have acquired by conquest the right to control the religion of the Bouth. He holds that it is just as wrong to allow the Southern Methodists to meet and worship at all, as it would be to allow Lee and Johnson to call together and drill their armies again. He thinks they will soon be prohibited from doing so. The religion of the North is bound to rule this conti nent, and it proposes to “ make a proper application of our Bible to all the Southern States and people.” A subjugated people, lie says, “have no more right to apply their own peculiar moral iilww Hhs. w tn*v their physical implements of war.” The Official Organ— YViiolesalr I’LUNDKKINO JUDGE EIt.SK INK. — The enormous frauds sought to be practiced by the mongrel crew of adventurers in Au gusta, has at last been brought before the court.

Our readers may form some idea from this expose, how their pockets are picked to keep the life in the tilings called Radi cal papers in Georgia. If it were not for such downright robbery, they would have perished of inaction, and in their own tilth and falsehood, lon}' ago. If Ruliook and his gang get control of the oflices of the State, the tix-payers of Georgia who have any legal advertising to pay for, may expect to enrich, by legal compulsion, just such enemies of their race and country as this Jacobin sheet at Augusta.

BUTI.KK’S JSXIIIUITIONS. Tile accounts given by different Wash ington correspondents of the episode in the impeachment proceedings on Monday, in which General Roller undertook to in timate that Senator Johnson, in asking a question of the witness (General Sher man i was acting as counsel for the Pres ident, dill'er somewhat in tone and color ing, and i.i an excusatory vein in some of them, hut they all bear out what every one knows to be characteristic of Rutler, and it is easy to recognize his peculiar features in each and all. The native im pudence of this Old Hailey practitioner was too thinly disguised on this occasion to admit of a doubt that Senator Johnson 1 nil 11 nftnl ilgntiy tut? intraiitng «»« me words, "Os course he (the Senator) was not acting as counsel for the President. That cannot lie supposed.” What did lie mean, if not au imputation upon the Sen ator? Whut call was there upon Butler to disclaim for Senator Johnson, what no one hut Mr. Rutler was capable of suspect ing him of? It is evident from the subse quent remarks of Mr. Bingham that lie, too, saw through the thin disguise the real i Rent of his colleague, when lie recog nized the perfect right and entire propri ety of a Senator asking any question of a witness lie saw fit. The indignant man ner in which Senator Johnson repelled the imputation was richly deserved, and Mr. Butler’s apologetic tone afterwards showed that he felt it. He saw by the evident sympathy of the Senate, and what he knew would be the feeling and judgment of the outside world, that lie could not go as far with Senator Johnson as with Gen eral Thomas, whom lie had worried and badgered without resistance, that old sol dier knowing as little of the law as Butler does of soldiership. In regard to the cross-examination of General Thomas by Butler, it may be doubted whether, ex cept in the lowest criminal courts of the onntry, such browbeating and abuse of a witness was ever permitted as the Senate -tillered to he indicted by Mr. Butler upon i man whoso honor and truthfulness, as reflected in the very manner of his testi mony, will not lie questioned by anyone who possesses those qualities himself.— Nothing material, after ail, was brought it by it, nothing certainly to the dam age of the character of the witness, noth 11.u shown by it in anyway except the unctuous self-sulliciency of llie inquisitor. (>ii the subject of this cross-examination, the New York Times says: "If anybody thinks that Mr. Butler’s altering of the old soldier, Gen. Thomas, while giving his testimony before the Senate on Saturday, was a line tiling, it would be foolish for us to quarrel with his taste, if the Senate considers it proper to permit such vulgar, insulting proceedings to be carried on in its presence, it would lie of little avail for us to find fault with it. If it be supposed that such a style of management will forward tiie cause of istice, will aid in eliciting the truth, will enable the court or the public to form a idgmeut on the merits of the ease, then "e must revise our ideas of the human reason. If it be supposed that it Will be 1 uiseof admiration to the world at large, rof pride to the generations of Ameri > ans who will read of this trial when the actors in it have all passed away, we think bis a dreadful error. And let us say, iu p iS'ing, that it must not be forgotten by the Senate or the country that the im peachment trial will be teconsidered and ami reviewed iu the court of historical ap peal, and a judgment rendeted upon it without passion or prejudice, or party feeling or persoual hate.” lint we proposed to give the different exhibits of the scene between General Butler and Senator Johnson, as made by coriY-p. ndents looking at it from differ etit party standpoints : From the New York World. Her, again a sharp debate between the opposing counsel was inaugurated liy the "t'jectio;i ot Butler, whose smartness was only exceeded by the brazen insolence wan which he seemed at one time to ac cuse Reverdy Johnson of a motive un ''ol [. 1 ' “t fjeeofthe purest Senators on ?. ! lH y\r 1 , , smeer of the Massachusetts . 1 141 • Ir - Johnson was iu substance as follows: the judges, he said, ‘‘desired : a question to the witness to satisfy (, wn mind. Os course he was not act -1!lb' a ' counsel for the President. That cannot l»e supposed.” Instantly Senator Johnson arose, and a P-tm: i! sensation disturbed the court and uie au ‘lenee in the galleries.

I know the law as well as he does.” Butler set himself to work iu good ear nest to make an apologetic explanation of the words that had offended tlie Senator, until Mr. Johnson announced lie was sat islied, but it was out of the power of loth Butler and Bingham, which last-named gentleman seconded his colleague, to en tirely obliterate the impression produced upon the minds and sympathies of tiie court by the reflection which had slipped from Butler’s vulgar lips. From the New York Herald. Branching off to his favorite and char acteristic style of argument, Butler, cov ertly addressing himself to Iteverdy John son, accused that Senator of coming down from his position as a judge and acting as counsel for the President—of, in fact, pros tituting iiis character as a man and a Sen ator. This was too much for human na ture to stand, but especially unbearable when coming from one of Butler’s antece dents. The Senator from Maryland rose promptly to his feet, his face more than usually Hushed, and his very hair bristling on his head. “If the honorable manager meant to impute to me that I have been acting as counsel for the President, lie does not know the man of whom lie speaks.” These words were uttered with a deptli of earnestness and a peculiar and unusual emotion of voice that touched the feelings of the entire uuditory. He proceeded to say ho was just as well acquainted with law as the manager himself, and after ad ministering .i wetl-d<sey - 1 - 1 u •-*. *—~ assailant sat i'-"' 1 au ll ' l the sympathy of i,iw n—.c'rs. It is provoking, indeed, fora learned, venerable and high-toned gentle man like Iteverdy Johnson, of Maryland, to whom his very opponents accord admi ration and respect, to be dragged forward by Butler, and accused before the Senate aiid the world of compromising his honor and dignity, and tampering with the case he lias been sworn to try. From the New York Tribune. Gen. Butler rose and denied the right of the counsel to examine a witness recalled by a judge of the Court. In the course of his remarks lie said something which Iteverdy Johnson construed into an inti mation that he (Johnson) was acting as counsel for the President. Mr. Johnson fired up and took the floor iu an impas sioned and tearful disclaimer. He spoke as though boiling over with rage, and hurled forth his denunciations at General Butler for several minutes. The scene was full ofsolemn excitement, and from (Senator Johnson’s manner, one who did not hear General Butler’s remarks would have supposed that lie had grossly insulted the court. When Senator Johnson had finished, Gen. Butler quietly reiterated iris remark, with all the emphasis that lie could place on it. Every one saw iu an instant that Senator Johnson had misun derstood Gen. Butler’s words, and, when the latter bad finished, Mr. Johnson lose and promptly apologized for his miscon ception and hasty speech. This last remark of the Tribune corres pondent is rather strong, considering that, after Mr. Butler closed iris cork-screw ex planation, the only response Mr. Johnson made was, “I am satisfied.” I ,Tt PEACH ill ENT. THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON UPON THE SUBJECT. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows in his last letter, conceriug a subject which is now uppermost in the public mind : Reviewing the popular sentiment, in view of its fluctuations from tlie com mencement of tlie impeachment trial to the present time, it is astonishing to what an extent the opinion has become preva lent that the President will be acquitted. This idea is not based upon any new reve lations, nor upon any declarations of those wiio have exclusive control of the final issue. It is solely attributable to the fact that the managers have utterly failed to produce a case that carries conviction to the minds of any, save such as are com mitted from motives of interest, or are matter upon which so much interest cen tres, it is natural that the intelligent spec tators, who have watched the progress of the triid, should express themselves freely as to tiie merits of the case and the weight and value of the testimony and arguments. These expressions are tempered somewhat, of course, by the political prejudices of those who utter them; nevertheless they are entitled to some weight, and will com mand more or less attention. To say, then, that no candid man, of whatever political party, lias tiie courage to affirm that the impeachers have shown that the President, by a single act, has done any thing worthy of impeachment, is not ex aggerating or giving undue piominence to the predominating feeling. In demand.ng a verdict of guilty the Radicals are recklessly consistent. While strangers here, who come from a distance to witness the trial, admit the insufficiency of the cl.dm for conviction, they readily adopt the popular argument that the arbi trary law of necessity must and shall pre vail*. The Radical members of the House openly proclaim this, the fanatical portion of the “High Court” reiterate it, and every night it is sent over the wires, and occa sionally under the "by authority” stamp of the General of the armies. The strait to which Hip party is reduced is readily admitted. There is no attempt to conceal the terrible extremity to which it is re duced. To acquit the President is to de eliue to rule, to accept the ruin and to convict Grant. To avert these is the daily and nightly office of those who sit at the feet of ancient Thaddeus and gather that peculiar quality of wisdom which lias late ly distinguished his utterances. It is true conceal it as they may, they labor with that fear and trembling which doubt im poses. They sutler the torture of suspense and insecurity because, with all their as surance and bravado, they cannot assume with perfect confidence that impeachment is un fait accompli, as we shall presently show. Notwithstanding the extraordinary ef forts that have been used to discover the status of the Senate upon the momentous question now under investigation, there have not thus far been any results that are iu the least satisfactory or conclusive.— The reticent members remain persistently dumb. Opinions are prevalent as to how they will record their votes in deciding the verdict, and if tiie popular bias favors the idea that they will be for acquittal, it is only because they have judiciously re frained from any utterances that would give a clue to their privatescutimeuts ; or rather because they have resisted the importuni ties of those who have already decided the contest in favor of Mr. Wade, it is natur ally inferred that they have strength and integrity to judge the case upon its merits, ‘‘fairly and impartially,” in accordance with their oath-bound pledge. Itiscertain, at all events, that these men are bullet proof against the efforts of partisan jurors, who do not restrain their zeal for convic tion as a party necessity. If resistance lias anv significance, it favors tiie President only in this—that his acts may, to some extent, bejudged by the law and the evi dence. The anxiety of the leading Radicals of the Senate and the House to induce a com mittal on the part of a sufficient number to insure a verdict of guilty, has latterly been so apparent as not only to provoke comment and ceusue, but it has also ex posed the most glaring acts of indiscretion. It lias exhibited the weakness of the pros ecution, the failure of the Managers to present a strong case, and the necessity for demanding conviction to save the party from the odium of acquittal. It is impos sible to eouceal these effects or to avoid tiie fatal consequences they entail. t -*• Strange Case with a Fatal Ending. —The Jackson, Michigan, correspondent of the Detroit Tribune relates the follow ing; A most remarkable case of insanity, fol lowed by death, came to our knowledge Saturday. Mi. Elbert Wilbur, a well-to do farmer, residing for many years in Les lie Township, I ngliam county, aboutthir ty five years of age, in full health, was in company with his wife at a prayer meet ing on Saturday, March 28. He was on his knees, when suddenly he spraug to his feet exclaiming, ‘‘l’ve lied, I’ve lied!” and endeavored to climb up the side of the room. He soou, however, seemed himself again, and went home. On Sunday, the 29th, he became a raving maniac, leaped out ttirough the window, aud was with difficulty retaken. From that time it re quired five strong men to manage him. On the Ist of April he was taken to the asylum at Kalamazoo, and became calm on arriving there, saying it was Bay City, where his sister lives. On Friday, the oil, he died, and was brought back to his home and buried. AN INCIDENT OF NORTHERN CIV -11.17. ATION.| We are very proud to know that no such occurrences as are hereinafter related, and which we copy from the Part Jervis (X. Y.) correspondence of the New York Times, have ever stained the annals of similar accidents at tiie Bouth. “ Rebel barbarity” hath never gone thus far. The writer is referring to scenes witnessed af ter the appalling railroad disaster at that place: It would be about as harrowing as to tell the story of this ma-sacre over again, to narrate the stories current of the robberies done by sacriligious iiands upon tiie bodies of tiie dead and helpless wounded during tiie dark hours of that fearful night.— Money iu large sums lias been taken, and gold watches from the pockets of tiie dead, and rings torn from the fingers of women. In one instance a file was used to release a diamond ring from the finger of a lady, who was at the time conscious enough only to be able afterward to (ell the story. The people about here who were at the scene say they could not protect tiie sufferers ejL Tir-fi. I,m rant tTiey know the rot. Lories were committed by the pas sengers who were saved by being in the forward cars. By whomsoever tiie outra ges were committed, they are sufficiently numerous to ask for more space than you can spare me at tins time to relate them. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. A naughty correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial is responsible for tiie following items: IS STANTON A COWARD. General Bherman testified that Mr Johnson premised to him that Btanton was cowardly. Mr. Stanton’s cowardice lias been tested here very often. One of his reasons for keeping “General” Detective Baker in his employment was to watch it is house and keep assassins, imagined or supposed, away. During much of tlte war lie lived a haunted existence, relieved by spas modic blustering. Indeed, the “advance” characters in the impeachment trial are a good deal like Falstaff’s hand. Btanton is Nyui, Wade is Pistol, Howard, with his red nose, is Bardolph, Butler is Fal stafl’, with his eye in mourning, Bingham is old Mistress Quickly, and Forney is the convenient young woman of tHe play, a camp-follower, who will sleep anywhere. .TERRY BLACK If Andrew Johnson is convicted, it will lie chiefly because lie lost tiie aid of Jerry Black, who would have met Butler point by point in the cross-examination, and laid him out early in tiie stage of iris au dacity. Black is a very curious character, full of idiosyucracies. He prepares most of his arguments at home, walking up and down the floor at night, where he would walk the whole night long if his wife did not appear along toward one o’clock and lead trim to bed. THE CROTCHETS OF STANBEItY. It is reluctantly admitted that Mr. Btan bery, conductor of Mr. Johnson's case, is a failure, lie has been too much of a stu dent, and his experience too contracted in ready debate. His temper is irritable and liis face almost transparent; so that all Butler has to do is to watch Btaubery’s countenance to know where to hit next. This the “gluttonous old libber,” as the prize fighters say, does with a kind of a Marat grin, which poist ns while he wounds. Beyond this, Stanbery’s judg ment is bad. Fvarts and Curtis do all they can to keep him in his seat, but Butler, by a demoniacal grin and pricking can get him up at any time, so hot and out of pa tience that his words fail Him ; lie floun ders about ami finally effects nothing. One day he compelled Fvarts to sit down while he, himself, replied to Rutler. which lie cal talker—his voice is musical, but Iris el ocution is not thorough, and the latter part of every sentence is drowned. He is evi dently a thorn and an embarrassment to Iris two colleagues; for the other two, Groesbeck and Nelson, are lay figures merely. Btanbery is too much of a gen tleman to cope with Butler. In a cursing match your gentleman does not shine. Yourgravhound in a dog-pit shows his line blood only to shed it. Fine, delicate, straight, high principled Btanbery is in Butler’s hands like a white captive at a Bioux roasting. INTIMIDATIONS TO SENATORS. You have very little idea at your dis tance from tiie capital of the pressure brought to bear upon the Senate to make them convict Mr. Johnson. Not only arc the mails full of admonitory letters, en treaties, appeals to ambition and fear, and laments for the party if Johnson be not convicted, but the Republican newspapers, in the majority of cases, flourish the whip and imprecate upon the personal heads of their Senators. Northern men, who live in the South, have been imported here to add their beseechings. It is almost need less to say that till those present tire aspi rants for office ill the Southern States. At the head of the whippers-in are such men as Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who receives most of these refugees and consigns them to Forney, who, in turn, blows upon his Chronicle nose, and asks Heaven to inter fere. Heaven and the opposite place left Forney alone, as unworthy the virtues of either. A Panther Hunt In thr Heart of the < ilj of Tin bile.; From the Mobile Register, 17th. Great excitement was created in the up per part of the city ti.is morning, caused by the appearance of a wild and ferocious panther in the streets. Itseems that early in the morning a negro employed at the house of Mr. C. Bright, on Conti street above Broad, discovered a panther coming from under the house. Mr Bright was immediately called, and coming out with 1 1 is gun discharged a load of buckshot into the animal’s head, inflicting only a few trilling wounds. Upon being shot the panther gave a ter rible roar, and springing over a fence at least fifteen feet high, rushed into Mrs. Roberts’ yard, on Government street. He was here tired upon several times. After clearing about half a dozen fences, the en laced beast next turned up in Major l’hil- Jan’s yard, trom which lie soon emerged. By this time a large number of men and boys, together with several dogs, had joined in the pursuit After leaving Major Phil lan’s yard, the panther crossed hack to Conti, and entered a lot about a hundred and fifty yards from the place where lie was first discovered. As he sprang over the fence, several la dies who liappened to be in the yard screamed lustily, and fled for the house and barricaded the doors. Two pistol shots were fired at him, but without etleet. Passing through the yard, he entered the premises of Mr. Shepherd. The panther here turned at bay and showed signs of fight, giving time for the large and ex cited crowd in pursuit to come up, who, upon getting within range, saluted him with n rattling volley, only eight shots, however, taking effect. He immediately lied from the yard to Dauplnn street, aud thence to Leßaron’s lane, where he was brought down by two pistol shots discharged by Mr. J. \V. Bright. Two negroes, armed with axes, then rushed up, and, by several well di rected blows, dispatched the terrible mon- panther was measured, and found to be six feet ten inches long. This is the first time within the memory of the oldest inhabitant that a wild pan ther has been seen iu the streets, and many supposed that he had escaped from some menagerie. The geueral belief, how ever, is that he was driven from the swamps by the heavy storm. A few days before the lamented pa triot, Colonel A9hburn, was assassinated, he received the usual anonymous commu nication from the K. K. K.'s.—Montgome ry Sentinel. We have no doubt of the fact that Ash burn received warning of the fate in store for him. We have positive information to the effect that the day before his death, one of his colleagues in the Convention, in a political speech in Cherokee Georgia, predicted that he would be killed by his political friends, and for party purposes. [Columbus Sun, 18 lb. >1 aeon, Gra., Tuesday, April 28, 1868. BI'KIAI. OF GEN. TIOItGAN. Large Crowd in Attendance—lmposing Ceremonies. The mortal remains of Gen. John H. Morgan were interred iu their final resting place at Lexington, Ky., on the 17th iust. Large numbers of citizens, among whom were many of the General’s old comrade* in arms, joined the train from Louisville bearing his remains at the various sft- j tions, and they evinced their regard for j the memory of their old commander ina very striking manner. Bays the Louii- j ville Courier : j At an early hour in the day eager aid enthusiastic crowds of old and tried vet»- raus collected around the Phoenix anl Southern Hotels, anxiously awaiting tie arrival of tiie train tiiat was to bring tit body of their departed chief. At last tin train arrived, hearing all that was left o j the dashing cavalier. A general rush war j then made by the gathering hundreds tc I testify, by their presence, tiie respect duel to a gallant commander. Immediately or the arrival of the train at tiie station, tli< necessary steps were taken, and the body removed to Christ Church, where the Rev. Mr. Bhippman officiated, going through the usual burial service of the Episcopal | Church. When the body was brought into the I church, the minister reading the solemn chant, wiu m nrc iviruw riiTnc end. and the choir responding, a number of! young ladies advanced to the place where | the remains were lying, and deposited! their offerings, consisting of crosses and wreaths. It was one of the most sublime sights we ever witnessed. After singing the 177th hymn, ‘iGuide me, oh thou great Jehovah,” and closing prayers, the remains were taken up, aud while the funeral cortege was leaving tlie church, the ehoir chanted the beautiful hymn—- “Peace, troubled soul.” The procession, after forming at Christ Church, proceeded to the cemetery. Every window and doorstep on the route had been occupied at an early hour by myriads' of ladies and others, eager to catch a glimpse of the boys iu gray, who had fol lowed a leader that had carved a name high up in the annals of fame. About two weeks ago the remains of Lt. Thomas Morgan were brought from Lehr anon to Lexington, and placed in the vault at the cemetery, and to-day were re moved to their final resting place, by the side of his brother. After the .Masonic ritual was over, and the brothers resting side by side, the ladies decked tlie graves with wreaths, bouquets and flowers, and the crowd gradually dispersed from tHo burial ground, with a solemn benediction from each heart that had loved them. From the Eufaula News, lsth. GREAT HURRICANE. Loss of Life —Cattle Killed—Houses and Bams Blown Down, <tc. Never before, perhaps, has Southeastern Alabama been visited by such a iiurrieaue and storm as swept over it on Wednesday night last. YY’e have not heard of its length or breadth, and only from one sec tion of our county, near Fort Browder, have we received any definite informa tion. This account is rather meagre, too, owing to the impossibility of getting full details in tiie present general wreck. If it extended any considerable distance, tiie damage done will no doubt lie extremely great, involving not only the loss of prop erty, but the loss of life.* We give below a list of the sufferers, as far as we have heard: Mrs. Mary A. Russell had her negro cabins and barns blown down, killing one negro who was in a cabin, and seven head of cattle tiiat were in the barns. On Mr. John McNab's plantation all his outhouses were blown down, and only the dwelling saved. Mr. Hilliard Glover lost all his houses and part of his dwelling. He had a horse killed, and his carriage, carriage-house, smokehouse, meat , corn and fodder were Mr. O. Dale lost the top of Iris house and all his outbuildings. Short and indefinite as the account is, it is full of distress. There are few who have either the time or the money te re build this spring, aud hands cannot well lie spared from tiie crop in its present con dition. If, when we hear from other portions of the county, any assistance is requisite, we trust that our citizens will come forward promptly and aid in relieving (lie want and distress of the sufferers. THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1868. A GLORIOUS SIGHT. YY’e are prouder than ever of our coun trymen. YY’e glory more and more in the name of Georgian. YY’e have witnessed many scenes that made our heart thrill with pride, but never one grander and more inspiring than this election has pre sented. Such unanimity, such harmony, such enthusiasm for the Right, was never before seen. Not a white man has gone back on his race and color. Not a true son of Georgia lias wallowed in the mire of Radicalism. Not a white man has fal tered, or turned aside from the straight path of duty. Bullock and his infamous gang of plunderers have beeu unanimous ly repudiated by tiie sons of tiie soil, the owners of Georgia, tiie legal corporators of all that is wise, and brave, aud true among our people. Y\ hat a glorious record! It would take the sting from defeat, and will gild victory with a still brighter radiance. The few miserable creatures with white skins that have dared to degrade them selves, are known, and will be looked after. From the Chat field (Minn.) Democrat.

McKeiinev, Esq., a mem ber of the National Democratic Executive Committee, from August Belmont, its Chairman: New York, March 2, IS6S. J. H. McKenney, Esq.— Dear Sir: I have forwarded to you the call ot the Dem ocratic National Committee for the bold ing of the next National Convention ill the city of New York, on tiie 4th ot July next. You will please confer with tiie Htate Central Committee of your State, to the end that she be fully represented in the Convention by the number of delegates to which she is entitled. The National Committee is very desirous that an earnest appeal should he made to the Conservative element throughout the Union which has not heretofore acted with the Democratic party. We call upon every Democratic voter to unite with us in our efforts to save our free institutions from the lawless des potism which now threatens the very foundation of our government. It is only by the united action of all who love the Union and the Constitution that we can hope to drive from power, in the next Presidential election, the Radical party, which, by its representatives in Congress, lias attempted to usurp the | functions of the judicial and executive branches of the Government, and which, I by profligacy and corruption in the man agement of our national finances, con thiues to burden our people with a system of taxation which must end in public and private disaster, unless arrests and by a wise, sound, aud economical policy, such as a Democratic administration is sure to give us. I hope you will lose no time in order to cause such measures to betaken in your State as will bring to our aid in the con test before us the combined strength of all those who are opposed to Congressional usurpation anti negro supremacy, and who wish the restoration of peace and unity between all the sections of our common country, under the blessings of the laws am: the Constitution, for which our brave soldiers and sailors shed their blood, aud the nation poured out its treasure.

Will ihe President be Fouvicted » !■ Everybody is inquiring as to the proba i hie upshot of the impeachment trial. YY’e i append a few extracts from recent letters and dispatches to prominent journals, which may help the reader to arrive at aome conclusion iu the premises. A YY’ash -1 ington dispatch of the 17th iust., to the | Cincinnati Qmett <■, says : Unless all the usual signs fail, parties in the interest of the President are here, with large sums of money, to be used iu the most lavish maimer in any way promising to help Mr. Johnson. Gamblers around the city are offering to bet large sums on the acquital, and are using the names of several Republican senators freely as sure to vote for clearing the President. In the same circle there is the grea’.est possible exultation, either pretended or real, over the votes of Sumuer, Morton, Davis, Fes senden and Trumbull; not because, as is a.-sert.ed, their course affords effectual cov er for some whom they claim as doing everything they dare to do to demoralize the Senate in all preliminary votes, The following is an extract from a YVash ington letter published in the Cincinnati Commercial of the 19th instant: After talking with a considerable num ber of persons, well informed from the llilg best sources of intelligence, and look ing upon one day’s proceedings of the Court of Impeachment, I am not quite ore tiiat tiie President win ■— - .(nisi a jttesiionabiy l>e convicted. All violent partisans assert it without qualification. Toe Copperheads desire tiiat we should understand that tiie Radicals will commit any outrage, and that all Republicans are Radicals.

He is supposed to be capable of anything but a timely act j of discretion, and if lie is turned out of of fice lie will owe it to Iris reputation as an mcertuin quantity and a quarelsome per- 1 ion. If it were believed that tlie President vould quit iris foolery with Lorenzo Thomas, and withdraw* his appointment if Thomas Ewing, Br., as Secretary of j War, and appoint General Banks or Gov- | fcrnor Uox, or some other competent and •eliable man to that position, I am as sure is one can be without the proof, tiiat lie ; ,vould be ucquitted. As the case stands lie lias a chance of tic- j juital. 'i hat the impeachment business las been overdone here is the opinion of he judicious. 'Tiiat the evidence present ed by the Managers was the reverse of strong and conclusive, ail beside tiie im oeaehore themselves admit. That tiie country is not enamored of tiie impeach ment business, aud not excited about it, s not only known here but felt. That the mpeachment of Johnson will prove a winning card for the Republinans, in tiie approaching Presidential campaign, is not believed by those best able to calculate the influences and the chances. A Philadelphia dispatch of the 17th iust., to the Cincinnati Times, says: People here are getting out of all pa tience v ith tHe impeachment trial, and the general impression seems to lie that it will end in a failure to convict Johnson. A Washington dispatch of the 19th inst., to the Louisville Courier, takes a more gloomy view of the President’s pro spects than is indicated by the extracts given above. It says: The vote mi YY’elles’ testimony is thought by some to he a test, hove an Johnson can not receive over five Radical votes. House Radicals, who have been work ing assiduously, say the House of Repre sentatives and the Radical party are on trial, and the question is whether the Senate will convict them or Andrew Johnson. These men insist he will l>e convicted, hut the verdict will not extend to disqualification, and, in fact, a question was propounded to-day by a senator, which seems to anticipate that view. A prominent Radical said to-night, no greater outrage had ever been perpetrated in a court than the exclusion of tiie testi mony regarding what occurred in the Cabinet meeting, and this, lie said, every respectable lawyer in the land would in dorse. Nevertheless, lie added, Mr. John son has but ten days to remain in the YY'lrite House. Impeachment—Wiiat the “Sun” Thinks.—The Baltimore Sun of Monday says: In view not only of the utter failure of j all proof to sustain the prosecution but < f the defence having gone beyond vvhat the safety of their case and the maxims of the law required ami actually proved the in nocence of the President, we find it diffi cult to believe that two-thirds of the Sen ate can so ignore reason and justice as to declare for a verdict of guilty. We say this, notwithstanding the votes of the Senate on Saturday overruling decisions of Chief Justice Chase in regard to the ad mission of testimony showing that the President had acted on the judgment of his Cabinet in connection with the tenure of office bill. It is noticeable that these overrulings of the Chief Justh e were by a majority only, and not by two-thirds. At the recent Erie disaster the body of one of the victims has been recog nized by tiie following singular circum stance: The body, all charred anti black ened. was discovered among tiie other un known persons burned to death, with the face downward. Every vestigeof clothing had been burned off, with the exception of a circular portion covering the loins, where tiie pantaloons pocket was situated, and in this was found a life insurance pol icy for $5,000, in tiie name of M. Nelvin, Buffalo, New York. This fragment was enough to prove his identity. Two of the bodies which had been so fearfully burned were known as those of women only from the fact that the steel bands of the hoops worn diiring life were found encircling tiie remains, every particle of clothing having been burned off. Jail Burned. —Tiie Jail litre was burned down last Saturday night. There were two persons confined in it, it white inun and a negro, botli for horse-stealing. They cut a bole near one of the windows, large enough and fastened their blankcs together by which they reached the ground unhurt. They set the room they occupied on fire, which soon spread over the entire roof and rendered it impossible to save the bouse from burning. From the signs on the wall of the jail, the prisoners were furnished the means of escape—a hatchet and hand saw. Since writing the above we learn that Mr. P. Ward shot oneof the jail-birds (the negro) while attempting to break open his smoke house. The negro was shot in the thigh and slightly wounded. —Monroe Ad vertiser, 22nd. —♦ ♦ ♦ A spectator iu tiie Senate gallery thus sketches Butler during one of his har angues: ‘‘Ho execrable a shape during this delivery surely never contorted itself be fore a respectable assemblage. Cushioned in the dreadful hollow of his bald head, and making a foot-stool of his protruding eve-ball, the imp of insolence could fairly be seen to sit. Ugly elves appeared to perch ar-tiide his nose and dangle from his flabby ears. His hair was populous with phantoms of hideous creeping things. A bad odor must have exhaled from him the odor of loathsome hate3, meannesses, and spites.” TiteOther Hide. —The Atlanta Opinion understands that some of Mr. Asliburn’s family are under the impression that his assassins were in the interest of a well known Radical in Columbus, whowauted the nomination to the Legislature, but whom Mr. Ashburn defeated, giving as a reason therefor that the aspirant “had not brains enough to fill the position he sought.” FRIDAY, APRIL 24, IS6S. A GOOD FIGHT. Tbe last gun has beeu fired and the last charge made. YY’e must now wait for the smoke to roll away to see exactly the posi tion of the eonteding forces. YY’e are con fident that tHe Rullock banditti have been thrashed most gloriously. If the official count shall decide otherwise, we know whom to charge with snatching the fruits of victory from us, and the brand of infamy shall he burned deep and black ujion those who have used their positions to defeat the wishes of ttie people.

No matter, though, how lie decides, we have tiie grand consciousness of having a splendid fight. YY'e have struck one honest blow for Georgia, and have won imperishable laurels. That fact cannot he denied, nor those laurels withered. YY’e have taught the plunderers what men will do, and what they can do in defence of their rights, and the honor and salvation of theircountry. If they shall be adjudged tiie victory, it will be the last one they will ever win. It will he the costliest one, too. If they 9hall occupy the field, we know it is strewed with the dead and wounded, and that with Phyrnis they must exclaim, “Another such and we are ruined.” They have been taught caution if not submission. YV’e have struck them a mortal blow. YY’e have “illustrated Georgia” once more, and most nobly too. YY’e have proven ourselves worthy of free dom-worthy the loins from which we sprung—worthy the traditions ami teach ings of our race—worthy the applause of good men everywhere, and worthy the execrations of the wicked and base, wher ever found. For this much, let us be thankful. KCn lIEIIED t YY’e see no reason to doubt the verdict tiiat will soon be rendered by the Senato rial jury at YVasliington. It is, in our opinion, already made up. To record it will be a mere matter of form. The ne cessities of tiie Radical party are too great to allow the President to escape. He must be deposed, or that party dies. His days are numbered. A party that disgraces itself and shames the country by putting forward as its representative, in a such a grave and momentous proceeding, Butler tiie Beast, will have no hesitancy in fin ishing the work of outraging the Consti tution and trampling down tiie law. It will pass into History as part of tlie story of this Republic that one of its Presidents was expelled from office simply for en deavoring to test, in the courts of his country, the constitutionality of an act of Congress! This is all. His offence hath this extent —no more. YVe sigh and mourn that such tilings should be, but our faith in the final triumph of Right must not be shaken.

Mr. Forsyth, in a Jute letter to the Re gister, speaks very confidently of the cer tainty of a war at the North should Radi calism persist in its wicked crusade upon popular rights and the Constitution of the country. In the light of a prophecy, we put his views on record: I hold nothing to he more certain than this—that if Radicalism persists in its mad designs to the end, there will he civil war in the North, sooner or later. Some man, or some unforeseen spark, will be develop ed, to “tire the Northern lu-art and precip itate a revolution.” Somewhere or some how the coal of lire will Ire found to scorch to the quick through the popular turtle’s hack And when I think of the race and traditions of the people upon whom this Radical Congress is trying its experiments of despotism, l wonder at the hardihood, and daring of the experimenters.

YY’e find in the Memphis Avalanche of a recent date, the following card : Editors Avalanche.: For some mouths past 1 have been engaged getting up au arrangement to open an office in Cincin nati for the saleof Southern farming lands, and have on hand a large quantity of the finest lands in 'Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, for sale, at low rates. I have, however, in the meantime, after diligent inquiry, satisfied myself that it is useless to offer these lands for sale. The invari able answer to my invitation is, "I can’t live under a negro government.” I am assured of thousands of good and worthy meu who would be glad to come among us and share our fate as a people, and would do so but for the difficulty above stated.— My inquiries have satisfied me that in stead of capital and labor being brought into the country, they are leaving it by thousands. Many of the letters from citi zens offering me their lands for sale say, “I want to sell and leave tiie State.” I am satisfied that no sales eau be made, aud must therefore ask you to discontinue my card. Respectfully, P. T. Scruggs. Commenting upon this letter, the Nash ville Union and Dispatch says: Mr. Scruggs is a gentleman of high standing i _n Meny K ,“' iT.iiVKV’X great weight. The Northern people of every shade or arc very much averse to negro rule, aud claim that this is a white man’s government. This is borne out by the fact that in every Slate in which llie question of negro suffrage has been submitted to tiie people, it lias been defeated. Only the other day it was defeated iu Michigan by nearly forty thousand majority, and yet the Republi cans carried tiiat State. In Ohio the majority against negro suffrage was about fifty thousand, notwithstanding the Rad icals elected their Governor by nearly three thousand. In lowa IHo majority against negro suffrage was hut about twelve hundred, hut tlie Radicals carried tHe State by a very largo majority. Is it a matter to excite wonder that a peo ple whose prejudices against negro suf frage are thus strong, should refuse to invest their means in a State where not only the right of suffrage is conferred upon negroes, hut where they are made office-holders and jurors and where they hold tHe balance of power in important elections? The crafty men who sought in the enfranchisement of the negro the advancement of their own political aims, never thought—perhaps if they thought, did not care—how cruelly they were stabbing the material interests of ttieir State. Here we have tiie testimony of a gentleman of acknowledged standing and probity, who sought to sell lands in 'Ten nessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi to formers in the Northwest, tiiat lie was almost invariably met witli a refusal to purchase on the ground that tiie parties would “ not live under a negro govern ment.” I ROD WASHINGTON.

Butler's Schemes for Securing a Place in the Cabinet —General Grant and the Mili tary Dictatorship. YY’asjii ngton, April 19, 18GS. TIIE CONSPIRACY OF THE RADICAL LEAD ERS AND THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. 'That the present impeachment trial is but the i suit or ix cmipuuacv formed fully in ret!years ago i>y certain ivimnrui o-auors, headed tiv the illustrious Ben. Butler him self. has for a long time been the opinion of President Johnson and many conserva tive Republicans, as well as Democrats. Immediately after tho removal of Presi dent Lincoln by the assassin’s bullet tiie conspiracy commenced, the object being either to control Mr. Johnson by inducing trim to reorganize Iris Cabinet on a more Radical basis, or, failing in that, to often a regular war of tHe fiercest character upon the unyielding President. Ben. Butler at that time was a power in himself. He had a strong party at iris buck, and bo and Iris party desired not only to shape the policy of Hie government, but likwise to enjoy the spoils of office. Butler especially yearned to administer tin* YVar Office or the Btale Department, and accordingly laid plains to accomplish Iris purpose. His friends hacked him up with all their influence, and Mr. Johnson was pestered with entreaties to remove either Mr. Btau lon or Mr. Seward for Benjamin's especial hem-fit. Seward, be it known, at this tirin' was stretched on iris tied from the terrible wounds inflicted by I lie assassin, and Lincoln was yet unbiiried. The ex tent of the patriotism of Butler and Iris friends will, therefore, tie comprehended. While Seward was every hour expected to expire, Butler was busily at work seeking to have the prostrate Secretary of State turned out of office in order that he (But ler) might promote Iris indecent and un eontrolahle ambition. 'That I am not merely fabricating a sensational story will be evidenced ' y the following letter, writ ten to Hon. Lewis I). Campbell, our late Minister to Mexico, by General J. K. Her bert, of Major-General Butler’s staff': Washington, April 19, 1805. My Dear Sir— The greatest crime of centuries has thrown the robes of Mr. Lincoln upon your good friend, Mr. John son, about whom we slightly differed when f was at your house. You will agree with me, I think, that some change iu the ('abinet ought to he made, and probably will he. You also agree, I suspect, that Butler for any place, especially War or .state, is about the best man in the coun try. Presuming these things, J write to ask tiiat you make the best demonstration you can to that effect. You can write Mr. Johnson a letter that would lie of great weight witti him. You can induce other good men to do the same; and, perhaps, after setting the hall in motion at home, you could come here iu person. I wish you would. lam certain you would do a public service, and greatly oblige Ihitler and Ids friends. I am confident I shall hear from you in a substantial effort. Be kind enough to present my kind regards to Mrs. (J. and her daughter. Let me hear from you, and believe me, faithfully yours, J. K. Herbert. Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, <fcc., &e. P. S. — Why not see Taft, Hoad ley, and the friends we met last year in Cincin nati? Wade, (.'handler, Carter, Julian, and such as they, are doing ali they can for Gen. B. Mr. Campbell lias been for twenty years the intimate social and fiolitical friend of Andrew Johnson, and was supposed to have powerful influence over the newly elevated President. Hence the favor of Campbell was solicited. It so happened that while Herbert was writing his letter Campbell was on his way to thiscity from Cincinnati, in compliance witli a request from Mr. Johnson. Campbell arrived hereon the day Lincoln's remains were being removed from the White House to the < apitol. On the same evening, or the next, Campbell met Herbert in the street, who informed him that he (Herbert; had just mailed an important letter to him (Campbell) directed to his residence in Ohio. On inquiring as to its purport, Campbell was informed by Herbert that i Butler and several prominent radicals had several consultations for the purpose of taking steps to urge President Johnson to make an immediate change in ids whole Cabinet, and particularly to have Secreta ries Stanton and Seward removed, and to have General Butler placed either in the Department of rotate or of War; that lie had written to Mr. Campbell for the pur pose of inducing him to use ids Influence, and obtain the influence of oilier promi nent men in Ohio, to accomplish the same end. Mr. Campbell said in reply, (hat as Mr. Seward was lying at the point of death, with Ids throat cut by an asaa.-i.-iu, and ids son, Frederick .Seward, Assistant Hecretary of.“ Rate, was supposed to he in a dying condition, tie thought probably j t,y a little delay Providence Himself would o l« ls\., I\o.

Brides unqualified opinion .hnUt woX rmln 1 ous to the reputation of President ii son, and perhaps disastrous to the co Ul ?tn * were lie to make any removals at that ,«r’ ticular time iu his Cabinet. conversation on the subject ensued a General Herbert urged Mr. Campbell to Hotel* 11 * <,elu ' ral at Willard’s Mr. Campbell remained in Washington having very frequent personal communi cat ions '' I tli the President in reference to public alliurs, the condition of thecoun trv, etc., and from day to day receiving additional information in reference to the combinations which had been formed to prevail upon the President to make a change in his Cabinet. On mature delib eration Mr. Campbell determined it was due from him to the President, who had been his personal and political friend for many years, and whom he bad been in strumental in bringing prominently before the public after the breaking out of the war, to warn him that these plans were on foot to have Uen. Butler in the State or War Department. He accordingly fur nished Mr. Johnson with the information relative to these combinations, and urged him to make no change whatever of Mr. Lincoln's fricuds until the shock occa sioned by the assassination would have subsided, and then, if lie found it neessarv to make a change, to do so, but not before he i,is informant that pectaiiy would not for a moment entertain the idea of removing a man who had suf fered as much as Mr. Howard had, and was then in a critical condition, lieu. Rut lei's stall' ollieer (Herbert) told Mr. Campbell several tiiuesduriug the sojourn of the latter in Washington, that Uen. Hutler was very desirous of seeing him, but no interview took place between tliom’ except for a few moments w ith Uen. Rose crans, who called upon matters relating to the military. Mr. Campbell’s aversion to holding any communication with Uen. Butler arose from the belief that the whole programme which the latter bad marked out would prove disastrous to the Presi dent and to the country. About the Ist of May, lsir>, Mr. Camp bell returned to his home in Ohio, and among the letters which had accumulated in his absence he found the one which Butler’s stall'oflieer hail mailed him. It was this failure of Hutler and his cliipie to accomplish their ambitious ends Unit caused the subsequent line and cry against Andrew Johnson and the bitterest anti-administration war since tlit* time of W ashington. Never before was a Presi dent so outrageously assailed, and by men who, it appears, were utterly destitute of decency and patriotic feeling. Part of their programme was to force negro suf frage upon the Mouth, willingor unwilling, which they hoped to accomplish through Butler as Secretary of War. Mr. Johnson not only declined the honor of Cutler's society in his Cabinet, but declined also to adopt tbe negro sull'rage policy, which was shown in liis North Carolina procla mation. Senator Sstnner also seems to have been in the plot, for some time after he had a protracted Interview with tbe President, during wliicn ho urged the President to adopt the negro sull'rage policy, and on being met with stubborn determination on tlie part of the Executive lie became somewhat insolent and threatening, con eluding with a solemn warning that lie and his friends intended to carrry out their plan and to light the Administration to tlie hitter end on that line, should it ruin the country. This interview of Humner and tlie President lasted for three hours, and resulted in leaving each in exactly the same position as when they started. From that time forward the conspiracy lias gradually developed itself, until now, when it seems the pur pose of the Itadicals to remove tlie Presi dent if they can, and, succeeding in that, then t<> establish a nominal military dicta torship witli the great power centred in a Senatorial oligarchy. The late acts of Congress, in tlie opinion of able men, point lo this end unmistakably. There V4>rv littlf* ijieuet ..-,'1.1 I.iit Ibe whole course ol ( ongress lias that ten deucy. Those who ridicule (he idea of a dictatorship do not know that some of General (/rant’s stall' have said lately that a condition of things might occur which he would feel to justify him in assuming the responsibility of a dictator. They forget that lie has not disclaimed the announcement in a leading Radical journal that lu; favored the removal of President Johnson ; nay, that In* has re fused to deny it when asked for an expla nation. They lose siglii of the fact that Congress has already made him dictator overall the unreconstructed South; that it has passed a law preventing his removal from otlice or from Washington by the constitutional < 'oiinnander-in-t ,’hief, and passed still another law declaring that ail orders to the army must be issued through him, so that a regiment, under existing circumstances, is not at the command of the President unless the (Seneral-in-Chicf consents.

A large mini tier of carpet baggers ar rived this morning, most of them from the North, for the purpose of lobbying the impeaohmet through the .Senate to a con viction and removal of the President. They propose to regularly heseige the Senators who are doubted, or, iu other words, who have very properly refused to commit themselves to the removal of Mr. Johnson whether lie he legally proved guilty or not. The carpetbag-lobbyists, amongst whom are two New York journalists, claim to have accomplished much to-day and tin evening in the matter of bringing over the doubtful Senators, and they assert that ol the eleven whom they feared were shaky, three have given satisfactory assurances that they will lie all right; which means that these Senators have to-day agreed to vote for the conviction of the President. Such are the givings out of these carpet baggers,and such the character of slander, for slander, no doubt it is, that is pro mulgated against some of the members of the august Senate of tin- ( nited States. Your correspondent does not deem it proper to mention the names of the eleven Republican Senators whom the Radicals doubt; sutlice for the present that they are of the most judicious anil able statesmen in the Senate, of whom to suspect corrup tion would he an outrage; hut the carpet baggers freely bandy these names about the steeets and in the hotel saloons, and unhesitatingly claim that they will get the entire eleven yet, whether by persua sion or threats ol political ostracism. A noticeable feature in this matter is, that the advocates of the removal of Mr. Johnson do not hesitate to admit that there is neither law nor fact proven upon the trial to make a case for impeaching the President upon strict legal proceedings, but they claim that their party will be ruined if the .senate shall fail to sustain the House in its impeachmei t.
