The White Sulphur Springs.— This water ing place, which was re-open ed last season for the reception of invalids and other visitors, has during the past winter undergone thorough repairs. The proprietors have largely added to their accommodation, and are now prepared to entertain fifteen hundred guests. The White Sulphur Springs are situated on Howard’s Creek, in Greenbrier Cos., W. Vir ginia, and upon the Western Blope of the great Apalachian chain of mountains which separate the waters that flow into Chesapeake Bay from those that run into the Gulf of Mexico. The situation of the Spring is elevated, and beautifully picturesque, surrounded by moun tains on every side. Kates Mountain is iu full view, anil about two miles to the south ; to the west, ami distant about two miles, are the Greenbrier Mountains , while the towering Alle ghany, iu its magnificent proportions, is found live miles to the north and east. The Spring is surrounded by mountain scenery of great beauty, and blessed with a most delightful summer and fall climate. Independently of the benefit to be derived from the waters, a better situation for the resi dence of Invalids and delicate ptfrsons, during the &uranter and fall months, can scarcely he Imagined, Tiny have here the advantage of a roost salubrious and invigotating air, and the most agreeable temperature—cool at morning and evening, and at no time oppressively warm. The thermometer ranges here, during the summer, between 55 deg. and 05 deg., and rarely attains a greater height than SO deg. at any time of the day, while the atmosphere is so clastic and invigorating as to enable invalids to take exercise in the open air with out inconvenience or fatigue. Warm aud hot bathing , especially in highly medicated waters, is a remedy of leading im portance, fit a large number of the cases that resort to mineral waters for relief. The water used for bathing at. the White Sul phur flows from the Sulphur p,. i,.g of which the visitors drink. When we look at. the analysis of this water and find it to contain about one hundred arid fifty grains of active medicinal salt to the gallon, we ennuot fail to m-e itint, £o tor as (lie medication of waters can favorably «fleet the hath for which they are used, tlmt the White Sulphur baths have the strongest claim t<> confidence, iuaspiueli as no other wati rs in America that are used for bath' jug, except the Washita Springs, in Arkansas, are so highly impregnated with mineral salts. Behzei.ia —This pleasant summer place gnu renowned eating house on the Georgia Uail roud is now under the control of Mr. Nelihut, whose reputation for successful!? catering to the wants of ids guests is too well known to need commendation. In the past week seve ral of our (Sunday Schools have had their pic nics there, and ali Ot them speak in terms of highest praise as to the Mildness and hospitali ty of the landlord aud landlady. The St. John’s Sunday School passed the following resolution : Resolved, That, the thanks of I tic pupils, offi cers, parents and guests of St. John’s Sunday School is hereby tendered to Mr. Nelihut and lady for their hospitality and Mildness to ns during our picnic of this day' we shall ever feel grateful for the use of the beautiful grounds of Berzelia and also the narlors of the hotel.

Telegraph says that “ the extraordinary increase of Democratic newspapers in Pennsylvania during the past six months is certainly indicative of aud in con sonance with the graud political re action everywhere exhibited at the elections.” It fur ther says that “ new dailies and weeklies, large, neat, bright, sprightly and ably conducted, are springing up everywhere, even in regions hith erto regarded as Democratically barreD, and they not only ‘stick’ with the tenacity of a Stanton to the War Office, but they talk hope fully, and prosperity looks benignantly yet boldly out of every line of their print.” Important Information. —The amendment to the bankrupt act, extending the time to January Ist, 1869, has not become a law, as is generally supposed, the Senate not having as yet acted upon it.

Office of Secretary of a. M. U., ) Augusta, Ga., May 8,1808. $ Two months since a communication, setting forth the necessity of & more perfect union among the Methodists of this city, was ad dressed to the Pastor and Board of Stewards of St. John’s and Asbury Church, respectively by the Pastor and Board of Stewards of St James. The objects of this Union, briefly stated, are as follows : Ist. The religious advancement of the whole Methodist community. 2d. The establishment of benevolent and charitable Societies for the immediate benefit of our own poor, and the poor of the community at large. J od. The systematic dissemination of our church literature, and the performance of sun dry other disciplinary duties. To the communication above mentioned the Pastors and Official Boards of St. John’s and Asbury returned an affirmative response. The first conference under the proposition took place at St. John’s Church on the evening of March -3d lilt., at which time a Constitution was perfected and ordered to be submitted to the several churches for ratification or rejection. It was unanimously adopted, and under its provisions the following named brethren were elected officers-and managers : President.—l)r. 1. P. Garvin. Vice-Presidents.—Dr. Wm. 11. Doughty, Isaac T. ILeard, D. T. Castleberry. Recording Secretary.—Martin V. Calvin. Statistical Secretary. —Dr. Joseph 11. Spears. Treasurer. —Charies G. Goodrich. Board of Managers.—\l. W. Hilliard, John H. Jones, Wm. H. Goodrich, Thomas 11. Rol leymau, J. W. Horton, W. J. Pollard, W. C Derry, E. E. Scofield, J. 'l'. Patterson. On Sunday, May 3d, at 10 o’clock, a. m., the first anniversary meeting of the Union was held at St. John’s Church, ou which occasion the Statistical Secretary presented an interest ing report, extracts from which appear else where. Rev. Arminius Wright preached an aide, eloquent and instructive sermon from this text: “The Lord hath done great things- for us ; whereof we are glad”-126th Psalm, 3 v. The Sacremeut of the Lord s Supper was ad ministered to upwards of, if not more than, five hundred communicants. Rev. Bro. Geo. H. Patillo consecrated the elemeuts, assisted by Rev. Bros. Wright and Calhoun. It may he proper to say, that Rev. Bro. Caleb W. Key, Pastor of Asbury Chapel, was deter red, by sickness, from participating in the im pressive ceremonies of the occasion. In the afternoon, the several Methodist Sab bath Schools assembled at St. John’s, when the children alternately engaged in Singing hymns and listening to well-timed addresses, delivered by lion. 11. W. Hilliard, Rev. George H. Patillo, and Rev. Arminius Wright. The report of the Statistical Secretary shows the total number of Methodists in Augusta to be eight hundred and forty-lour (841;) ol this number three hundred and twenty two (322) belong to St. John’s ; two hundred and ninety one (291) to St. James’; and two hundred and thirty-one (231) to Asbuiy.

The first regular meeting of the Guinn, in its happy develop ments, established the belief that, if zealous efforts arc made to accomplish the objects which have given rise to the organization, it will redound to the glory of God and the ad vancement of the cause of pure and hu defiled religion in our midst.

English. —New Haven, Conn., Wednesday , iMay The Legislature organ ized to-day by electing the officers nominated at the Republican caucus last evening. The message of Gov. English was sent in this afternoon. It announced the financial affairs of the State to be in an encouraging and satis factory condition. It also denounced impeach ment ic stfSfig f8 r R} s j anil defended Andrew Johnson. The Governor devotes much attention to na tional politics, especially the condition of the Southern States anil the impeachment of the President. He says f “If Congress is supreme, a revolution lias been accomplished, and we no longer live un der tbe Government we have sworn to support. This is the ordeal through which the country is passing, it is not lhe part of wisdom to hide its difficulties or ifs dangers. ThfV de mand the solemn consideration ot every Araerf "au eltiw D, for "with them at last the decision wilt rest. If this matchless Constitution of ours, based upon the right of the people to govern themselves in their own way, through their State organizations, and secured from abuse of centralized power by the separate and independent action of its great eo ordinate de partments, is to lie abandoned, it can only be because the people f|Cr wfipm it was provided, and upon whom its benefits fiaye beprj show ered, so desire.” Loss py Fire.—On Thursday morning about daylight, the mill apt! cabinet work shop of our townsmen, L’apt.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIBPATCHES. W ashington. Washington, May 9—Noon. Absolute uncertainty exists regarding the impeachment result. Senators keep their own counsels. Judicious people applaud Senators for their conduct in this respect. Washington, May 9—P. M. Meade telegraphs Grant that both branches of the Georgia Legislature are Radical; also that the Florida election was quiet, resulting in the adoption of the constitution. Both branches of the Legislature are Radical. Fifty thousand dollars in fractioual currency was shipped to New Orleaus during the week. Securities held for national bank circulation and deposited, *380,250,000 ; national bank cir culation, *299,750,000. Neither Bouse in session. General Rousseau and several members of Congress visited the President. Ex-President Buchanan is dangerously sick. The Star says : “ The bears in impeachment stock made a tremendous rally last evening and for a time had it aU their own way at the lead ing hotels and other points where transactions are carried on. Friends of the President, who were supposed to know a thing or two were betting wild on acquittal two to one, ten to one, a hundred to one. Later at night the bulls rallied and swept everything, and professed to be particularly anxious to find any party anxious to bet on acquittal. To-day it has been a see-saw operation, the bears being up permost one hour and the bulls uext. Should the excitement increase in the ratio it has iu the last forty-eight hours, by Tuesday it will be up to fever he.it and something over. Un doubtedly Tuesday will be the most exciting day in Washington siuce the surrender of Lee’s army.” The Express says : “There is a good deal of talk about town to-day upon the probable result of the impeachment trial. The public pulse is somewhat excited, hut the pre ponderance of opinion seems to be upon the side of acquittal. A gentleman usually well informed upon current topics, and who has opportunity of knowing whereof he speaks, stated this afternoon that Senators had dis posed of the question of Stanton’s removal, and will make no question abont the Presi dent’s right to make the removal- The point about which they are now concerned, is iq rela tion to the ad interim appointment, and the letter of authority to General Thomas.— The Senators, who nre satisfied that, there is no cause of conviction by reason of Mr. Stanton’s removal, are also welfsatisfied that the Execu tive hud a right to make the ad interim appoint ment. It is not believed, however, that this point will be considered a high crime or misdemeanor.” The above paragraphs are telegraphed to illustrate the utter uncertainty regarding the result. In a well authenticated conversation the President is represented to have said in answer to a question regarding Bingham’s sug gestion that he would not obey the Senate’s mandate: “Why should I obey if the forms of government are complied with. If Senators do not act justly they are responsible not to me, but the people. No, the people who hold the sovereign power have placed me over one department, with all its duties and responsi bilities, and have placed monitors also with grave responsibilities and witli a constitutional power to try impeachment and render judg ment thereon. If they misuse or abuse this or any other power the people alone can hold them to account. The people having em powered them to try impeachment, it is not for the party tried to set aside their judgment ; the people alone can settle with their agents for any abuse of their great trusts.” Maryland. Baltimore, May 9. A duel occurred between Col. P. F. Green, of Missouri, and Daniel G. Wright, of Balti more. At the first shot, both were wounded— Green in the shoulder and Wright in the leg. The second shot was demanded, but the seconds refused. The affair ended, hut the difficulty is unadjusted. "V irginia. Richmond, May 9.

It is needless to say that the Doctor met with every encouragement, and returned a favorable reply. Dr. Faber, originally of this city, for many years resided in lleidolbtirg, and will prove a valuable intermediary between onr peo ple who need labor, our land owners who want settlers, and the German immigrants who de sire to cast their lots with us. In addition we would say that all in Ger many there is no finer country, and no better, more honest or more industrious population than is fouud In llml same vicinity of Heidel berg, and we sincerely hope that our State will receive many recruits from among their num ber.—Charleston Mercury. Voting in Greece is somewhat different from voting in America. The polling places are churches. Thirty ballot-boxes are placed on the floor of the church, each of them bearing the name of a candidate. Upon one-half oi the hot;, painted white, is written “Yes," and on the other half, painted black, is written “No.” A clerk attends the voter, with thirty l-Ullets, and when opposite a box pronounces the name of the candidate and hands the voter a bullet. Passing ids arm up a funnel about a foot, in length, the voter’s hand arrives unseen at a division in tiie box, and lie drops the bail to the right or left, “Yos' ! ’ or “ No,” as the ease inay be, and so on throughout the whole thirty. The system is said to insure seeresjand perfect order. A Brigiit Idea.—A meeting of freedmen held last week, in one of the churches in Rich mond, has forwarded a petition to Gen. Scho field, requesting him to slop the further natu ralization of foreigners. Their petition sets forth tout tue colored people want no more white men in Virginia, and invokes the aid of the commandant of tbe district to keep them out of the State. The petition is said to be drawn np in a style that indicates white author ship—probably one of the carpel-bag geutry, who desires to shut out any additional competi tion of outsiders for the loaves and fishes.
