Imp rnclimvnt Commenrod. la tbe House on the Bth., Mr. Ashley took the floor and charging tbe Presi dent with high crimes and misdemean or*, introduced a resolution calling up en the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the same, with power to send for peraons and paper*. Yeas and Nays demanded. Under the operation of fLe prerions question, the resolution passed by a large majority. Mr. Sioan of Wisconsin, introduced a resolution setting forth that it was the duty of Congress to impeach tbe Preti d*nt, abridge Executive powsr, effect a perfect reorganization of ths Confeder ate State*. Tbo resolution wont over Mr. Ashlejr introduced a paper and resolutiou impeaching Andrew Johnson Vice President and acting Preiident of the United S’ates, of high erimes and misdemeanors, in that he usurped pow er and violated law* ; that be had made corrupt use of the appointing power • the pardoniog power and the veto pow er ; that be had oonuptly disposed of the public property, of the United States; that he had corruptly interfer ed in elections, and was guilty of other high Crimea and miaiemeanors The resolution instructs the eomjnit ike discharge of bis power and duties Andrew Johnson, Vice President and acting President of the United States, waa guilty of seta designed to subvert the Government of the United States or any department thereof, or whether be had been guilty of seta a* in law would b* denominated high erimes and misde meanor* and wbicb required the inter position of the House, and the Com mittee have power to lend for persona aad paperi.

The resolution waa then ngraed to by a vote of 106 jeas, to 36 nay a. Among the Radicals who voted in tha negative, were Davis, Dodge and Raymond, of New York; Whaley and Latham, of Weet Virginia, and Spald ing es Ohio. 106 to 36, This gives ns ths senti ■sot of the lower House of CoDgress is tha great revolutionary sahetne. Th# esmmittee charged by the reas lation with tho important work of sub stantiating the charges against ths President, will enter at onee upon their task, with what success, remains to be assn. They are unscrupulous enough to make any charge, and to eonsidar it es tablished by any asrt ot testimony, wd we shall be greatly mistaken if their proceedings do not put to shame even tha outrages that characterized the trial nnfortunate Wirz. However, it is said to be an ominona sign, tbit so inconsiderable a person as Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, has been put for ward as leader in the war. No mtn af established reputation and influence would venture upon the experiment though there are many wbo are willing te lend a lelping hand in *he dirty work. Thia, is no doubt the final culmina tion of Radical ba'e, and we are in duced to hope that the result will be as it generally is in such cases— a recoil ing of the angry serpent, to spend its poison in its own destruction. If truth and right pravail, we are satisfied that the measure will cot only prove abortive, btrt add another and a blacker coat cf infamy to tbs names of iu advocates in all futurity. Hon. W«.

Ckood tor Clit‘al!i:»iii. The Nashville correspondent of the ; M Ksouri Republican, who sat near , Den Wndo and (Jen Cheatham at the | recent Congressional banquet at Nash-1 ville, gives the sub-tnricc of "'but the gallant son of Tennes-ce said to that rough old bear, Wade, ol Ohio. He assured the Senator he was a law-abid ing citizen, in whom he thought the Government might repo t confidence. Yet ho wished it understood distinct ly he came to his duty with no sobs atd tears of pretended contrition. lie was quite twenly-ono when he enl’sted as a fighting rebel ond wn« not n sedue ed innocent. But he was defended and surrendered, and now the Government for which he had once fought with a foreign foe, could not have from hint a flood of sniveling pn testations, like those of a cuddgoled urchin, bat sim ply a soldier's woi and of honor. nr. Johnson's S|*eccli iu the Scuutc. In Congress ou the 4th, Mr. Johnson proceeded to make a speech on the bil] before the Senate. He said he bad ad vised the Executive to issue age neral proclamation of amnesty, and had en deavored, so fares he was able, to bring it about, bet the Executive had not seen proper to do so. Some of the first ju r’u‘s of the country, of their members of the Republican party, and some of the best jurists of Englaud had express ed the opinion that the moment bellig erm' r'ghls were granted tbo commis sion of treason was impossible, if this point alone was brought before the Su preme Court. Wiiat this decision would be he could not say, but on the other point the right of a State to re cede h3 did n'Udcubtfor an instant, but would decido that there was no right. If a proclamation of amnesty had been issued, and no trills for trea son had taken place—the first was due to the President, the latter was not his fault—a man of delict to frame would r.ot have been hell immured in prison who bad been called to preside over their destinies by six millions of people. If this thing bad happened in any other country, it would have been described as an act of extreme cruelty. Howard said the opinion of the two offers of Mr. Johnson bad prevented tbe trial of Mr. Davis from taking place. Johnson said that Mr. Davie was ready to be deliver ed up to the marshal of the court wbicb is authorized to try him. Tbe prisoner p titioned f r trial, but the court io whose circuit bo was in refused to rc ce vo him, on the ground that bo could B9tJ"lnhft 1 4ffirt tne pilfer Justice 'couTJ not preside becauso Congress Lad chang ed tbe circuit, Johnson said no matter wbose f iult it was, it was a bl t on American civilization that the prisoner waa retained, and if, in Li.t delicate state, he should die, (ho country would be responsible for his death. Johnson said had he been President he should have pardoned him long since. The upright sc ion of tho S iprome Court bas inspired the country with new hope of a speedy trarqullizat; >n. Tbe revolutionary proceedings of Congress, are promised a check which bas been littc coun'cd on. Tbe territorializing scheme cannot be so contrived a; to pass tbe judicial test of constitutionality, and the various laws which may essay to de prive States of their rrghts will be pro nounced null. We think tbe people ol the South ought to arrange for tbo qui et assertion of their rights before tLe oourts, and call upon the judges to say whether it is lawful to tax without rep resentation, or whether a congress which excludes the represetatives of ten States is a lawful authority. “Brick” Pomeroy has returnod to his sanctum after an abscence of some weeks at New York, which city he has been serving up in palatable slices to his readers. Within a short time he will set out on his Southern tour, du ring which he says ‘he will visit all the outraged States; will write regu larly to the Democrat descriptive, sta tistical and othur letters which the pub lic will pronounce more than readable. His letters will most likely create tome little disturbance in the Noith, m he intends to write freely of the vanda lism of Northern troops, with names, dates &c, that people may see why the people of the South are not moro deep ly in love with some people North ” Tiie Great Mission of tub South. —An influential Northern contempora ry says : “The refusal of the South ern people to concur in amendments to the Constitution will preserve that iu strument as a rallying point for tho friends of republican liberty.” It is even so. The last hopo of re publican liberty on the American conti cont now rests with the South, crush ed and tyrannized over as she is, and she should not forget her high and holy mission To accomplish it ihe has only to ttand still, and say no. Colfux for President and Gen How erd, (Frrcdmen’s Bureau) for Vice- President, have been hitchod together lor tha next Presidential race, by some of tb* New York political jockey*. Till: VIiTOE.

After n uminouN s tint o f unanswer able Const tut'onnl and Judic ul argu ments the President winds up the doc ument as follows : “Alter full deliberation upon this | measure, 1 cannot bring myself tv ap prove it even upon local coosidera dons, nor yet as the beginning of an experiment upon a large r si ale 1 yield ono one in »ittacbmen f to that rule of general suffrage which dislis- j guisbes our po icy as a nation. But j there is a iirmt, wisely observed liith j erto, which makes the ballot a privil edge and a trust, and which requires of some classes a t ! me suitable for pro- ( button and preparation. To give it indiscriminately ro anew class, wholly unprepared by previous habits and op portunities to perform the trust which it ilti’m tn is, ,is to degrade it, and finally to de-troy its power; forit may be safely established, that such indis c.iminati n and all-embracing exten sion of popular suffrage must end, at last, in its destruction.” ANDREW JOHNSON. TiIE falling market for gild has bceD attributed by some, to rumors that tbe Treasury was selling gold, and that tbo Committee ou Ways and Means would rejort a bill providing for regular go] 1 sales. The jayment of ten millions of interert in g“!d ou the Ist January, and sabs by individual) who anticipate a further fall, will serve to weaken the market. But the chief cause of tu'' decliue may be Lund io the light im portations, the amount of sdiieli will not be inert ajed for some time. Tbe customs demand for the week past was one miliion and Cfty-cigh' thousand dollars, and the California steamers brought nearly a million and a half. New Year’s hay at Augusta The Chronicle & Sedtinel of tho 3d says: New Year’s Day was neoessarily observed in a remarkably quiet way.— cd and accoutred freedmen were out the greater part of tbe day, trying to cele brate what they term, ‘‘Emancipation Anniversary.” After the parade was over, the crowd joined in a large “smig gen,” whbh had the effect of making them belligerently inclined, whereupon a number cf them were arrested an 1 marched to tbe City Ilail, as violators of the invincible eighteenth secticn. The Atlanta Intelligencer says that not a day passes but large numbers of freedmen take their departure westwtrd over the State road—that not less than a thousand per week arc thus trjasport cd on their way rejoicing, to the rich Mifwissippi bottoms. They a?e collect* cd up in various sections by agents, and it is saiif that all Sorts es inducements are offered to them. A group may be seen at the car shed every day awaiting shipment. Massachusetts. —Gov Bullock’s an nual messago eulogises ‘.he constitution al amendment, and recommends its adoption by the Legislature. lie ex f re-ses an earnest hope that Congress, having conceded the princip’e in the case of the District of Columbia, will complete the work so auspiciously be gun by establishing univer al suffrage as the irreversible law of tho laud. John 11. Surratt, one of the Lincoln conspiratcr>, who was captured iD South America, will probably reach this Country in a few days, when we may expect more excitement about the Lincoln demise. It is said by Northern Correspond ents, vhat the whole affair is likely to be cleared of all mystery by Lis ex pected revelations. Sumpter County. —The Republican gives the following as the vote in Sum ter for Judge and Solicitor: For Julge; J J. Scarborough, 287; D. A. Vason, 45 ; P; J. Strczier, 34 ; R Simms, 3. Scarborough's major'ty over all, 205. For Solicitor: N. A. Smith,3l9 ; J C. Rutherford, 14. There is a point in what follows, from the New York ’World, which blustering Yankees would do well if they would only put it in their pij cs and smoke it: “We of the North discredit our own valor when we disparage or bebttle that of the South. Our endless mus ter-rolls, our colossal debt, our sum moning the negroes to our aid, area satire upon our manhood, un'esa the enemy who so long withstood us enemy so inferior in numbers and every milituiy resourco—was endowed with great qualities." Tiiad. Stevens’ Disßnionisji Thad is becoming dinned *t the reported prospect of sunn of the Bullh orn 6‘atcs adopting tho Cons i'ulional amendment—lcs.t a majority of C ingress should favor the admission c( their rep—j rec-eutatives after its adaption, and leave him no bone t> grivl over. In the llouae, on tbe stb, the following discus sion to >k place between Stevens aud Mr. Spalding: Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, entered into an argument to *h iw that the Southern State*, by adopting the i io'.is'i'utional amendment, coul I resume their Congressional repirsentation with 1 out further action : i/i < ther words, res- It: r tion wguH bo complete. On a re cent visit to Petersburg, Virginia ger tlcnicn with whom be comets and said i ihe adoption of tbo amecdmiiH by th> | 8 lutherners would be a condemnation i sis their leaders, but if thice-founhs ot j the States should ra ify it, no opposi ! lion would be found iu Virgiuia. Mr. Spa’ding warned his pilitieal 1 friends not to ins : s: on ultra measures, such as the iirpaachmcct of tbe Pie : dent, while Congress haves two-thiriL power over the action of the Execut ve . v *’uch measuics would teict on the Re— I pubiiean paitv. If, ho added, we find Iby tbo fortieth Congriss that, tho South does no* ratify the amendment, then let the gentleman fr m Pennsylvania I call up his bill lor the r;coi.Btruction of j tho States. Mr. Sic-vens replied, combatting Mr. Spaldirgs’ arguments, that Ihe ratifica tion of the am nlmcnt was to be the fi nal act. This would leave the country open to an influx of recoastuoted rebels. The House and public ought to the gentleman had uttered the most per nicious doctrine of rebel sympathisers.

Hill, ferryman OwLyhec, Oregon, to the Owhyhee Avalanche, and published io that paper of the 1 Till ulr, gives an in teresting account of a fight bit ween a party ot Indians and an overland st'g uua.i-d, which 'oik place on the B’h of November, between Humb lit, Utah and tbo i Try : “On the cf h inst., about 10 o’clock A. M., the llumholdt Mage, on ita way to Virginia, when within iV'ur miles o f ;he Owhyhee Firry, was ait'ckod by Indiars. There wire six persi.'os on board—Waltermire,driver; James Mc- Rhea, cuard; sn l four passcoL'ds, named J. Holland, P. Casey, D. II r rington and W. Wilcix. They did not suspect danger near, when they were fired into by a party of Indians, who bma a fjrfiflcjlToii wbicb they bad erected so as to coropiletely screen ihem stlve from the tight of those in the stage % ‘ Wash, put his favorite mustang down (o their greatest speed, and would have succeeded in reaching the ferry without more injury than what wif causrd by she first volley, but there was another party of Indiana on horseback, further along, who kept shooting a> them and striving to head tbem efi and surround them, while the party that first fired on them were coming up be hind. With steady nerve, W»rh run hir horses, while Mcßae fought tht red devils, aud keepiug them at bay for a distance cf two miles, until one of the wheel h(Tjfß was shot dead, and two others 1 aJIy wounded. This, cf course stopped the stage. When the first vol Icy was fired, \V iloox, who was setting ou the iroat seat, received Lis death wound by a bullet which entered his right Lrea-t near tbo nipple, and pars ing out at his back, also slnkfng Wash iu the side, infl cieda slight, though ruthet painful wound. Wile x ex claimed ‘-Oh, my God, I’m killed," ari i his bead sank ovrr on Iliriington’o knee, where he breathed his last. ‘•Harrington was shot in the left hip, the bullet ranging up and pcs,ing out at bis side, going through some six inches of rnnrti", and producing a bad fl sb wound, but it is not coesid, red dangerous. When ihe horse fill dead, the boys unhitched the other three, one cf them getting away from them. They then started for tbe ferry, about two! miles distant; leaving Wilcox dead in | the stage, together with the baggage,! mail cto. 'i he Indians seemod de:e.- rnined to prevent their escape, and con tinued shooting at them ; but Barring- j ton with great difficulty hobbled ah ng, and they reached tho ferry about 12 o’clock completely tired cut. Four of us from the station, with Seargent j Brown and eleven men who are sta tioned here, immediately hastened to the scene of action, but the red and vils had already completed their work and escaped. Ttiey dragged Wilcox from j the stage, stripped, scalped him, aud cut his tii art out; also taking with them ail the blankets etc. belonging to the passengers, and cutting the mail, and seattei ing tbe letters etc among the sage brush. Wc took the body of Wilerx down to the ferry, where it wts dceeutly interred by tbo side if tha riv er.

The stage is running all light, and the indefatiga ble Charley Barns, Boacbey’s division ag-:nt is here to night with anew lot ol horse* and plenty of barley, lie has men armed to the teeth running with ev ery stage, no that notwithstanding tbe recent trouble, passengers can consider themselves as safe at any time during the season. TVork for t!ic Month. The ruinouv drought of last year, tbe great scarcity ond high price of food, in all pVcB not directly upon the line 6 of rvilroad, tho tax upon C'tton, all should b‘ taken into consideration, id pi'chicg tho crop tho current year. Let us con tract tbe area planted in cotton to these soils naturtlly rich, or which it is in nur powir lo make 60 ; and in preparing for all, we must plow deeper, and ma nure more heavily than hitherto.
