Obey tlie Law.
General Orders No. 10, issuing irom the
Adjutant General's Office at Washington
city, recites the Congressional Reconstruc
tion Bill, and, in pursuance of the act of
Congress entitled “An act to provide for
the more efficient government of the rebel
States, the President direct* the assignment
of Generals to be made. By virtue and d.reo
tion of these General Orders Major General
Thomas takes command of the Third Bis- :
trict, which comprises Georgia, Florida and
A’abama, with headquarters at Montgomo- ]
ry, Ala. These orders, issuing from the •
War Office, are conclusive as to the course
‘the President will pursue. In his veto j
message the President clearly sets forth, J
■almost, with the solemn form of protest, ;
his views respecting the expediency, good j
faith and constitutionality of this Recon- j
struction Bill a.- a legislative measure, and j
refused “voluntarily ’ to become a party t

Tim tone and spirit of these orders is a

theia w will be executed. General Schofield
has wisely preferred forepose confidence in
the people and to rely more upon their
go id cum: and desire for the preservation
of good order, than upon a stern adminis

peal., to the people' to render this exercise
of military power as slight as possible,
and gives this evidence that the disposi

people will bo tho measure of interference.
We a -sumo that similar orders will be

at Montgomery, liis headquarters. Their
publication will be the official announcement
of the cstubli-dimcnt of military government
over us. The rigor with which that gov

upon the observance of law and tho eon
s' rvation of good order, and thus call for
the exercise of a spirit of concession and
ilirb riranee upon allquestions of difference

I from lA< New Tori- TrU-m-.
Isipcacha’.enls In History,
i Under the Constitution of the United
t States the subject * of impeachment are the
| President, the V ice-President, and all
• civil officers, and the offences for which
; they may bo impeaohed arc treason,
| bribery, and oth .r high crimes and misde
meanors. The articles of accusation must
I be lodged by the House of Representatives
! an( | tried by the Senate. Thousualcorj-.se
'j is for a member of the House to introduce
1 a resolution either preferring charges or
j calling for a committee of inquiry. After
the resolution of impeachment has pa: sod
the House, a committee is. appointed to
(•.induct the prosecution at the bar of the
Senate. A vote of two-thirds of. the
i Senators present 1- nece.-arv for con vie
j tion. When the Prc.-i lent is tried the
i Chief Justice must preside. The judg
ment cannot extend beyond removal from
office and disqualification to hold any office
of honor, trust, or profit under the Untied
j States.
j Our rules of the impeachment are bor
| rowed from those of the British Constitu
tion, under which the accusations must al
ways originate with tho Commons, and tie
prosecution is conducted by man • .vrs
chosen from the Lower House, the Lords
sitting as; judge ;. Ai .. .eh tho j, i:. -o. e
of impeachment ia chiefly the prosecution
and puni diluent ol official and political
i crimes which are bevond tho reach of the
law, all persons, whether peers or eotti-
I moners, may, in Great Britain, be im-
I peached for any crimes or offences what
ever. The earliest instance of parliame.it
! ary impeachment occurred in 1370, during
j the reign of Edward 111., when the
: Chamberlain, Lord Latimer, together with
, several other officials, were accu.v 1 by the
i Commons of extortion and malversation of
1 the public money, and was deposed from
i his place. When Ilicha rd 11. was eom
| polled to resign his throne to Henry of
Lancaster, the form of an impeachment
, was gone through bv Parliament before
i ptonannei and their . overeij n deposed.
1 Under the Tudor princes the'right of im
: peachment fell into disuse ; but the shame
i less corruption which characterized tlie
reign of James I. caused its revival, and it
was used with great energy by the Com
i mons, Loth as an instrument of popular |
,«/• r and as a means for tlie furtherance 1
jof public justice. The impeachment .
: of i . and Chancellor Bacon during this •
i reign l»r receiving bribes from suitors in
; hi* coo is one of the saddest incidents in
the history of literature. The great phi- I
losophcr and statesman was charged by the
j Commons with bribery and corruption in j
! twenty-two instances himself, and with !
allowing acts of bribery and corruption in
j his officers. Utterly unmanned bytheae-j
! cusation, he took to his bed, confessed his |
guilt, and begged for mercy. Guilty he |
, was, if judged by tho purer standard of a !
| Liter age ; yet guilty only of conforming to j
' the judicial customs of Ids own time. He
; was sentenced to pay a fine of £40,000, to
| he jmprisoned during the royal pleasure,
and to be incapacitated for life from coming
within the verge of tier court, sitting in
Parliament, or holding office. Though the ]
fine and imprisonment were remitted, the
disgrace was more than the Chancellor
could bear, and,, after five years, ho died
broken-hearted.
The case ol Bacon was only one of seve
ral which the same Parliament pursued i
and punished. Sir Giles Mompesson, Sir I
Francis Mitchell, Bonnet, Judge of the j
Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Field,
Bishop of Landaff, and Yelverton, the
Attorney General, were all prosecuted i
within a few months, aiid a barrister named J
Floyd, for no more serious offence than re
joicing at the expulsion of the Palatine |
from Prague, was sentenced to be degraded j
from tho estate of a gentleman and declared j
infamous, to stand in the pillory, to bo fined i
£5,000, to be imprisoned for life, and to bo
whipped at the cart’s tail. The whipping, 1
however, was afterward remitted. Three j
years later, in 1624, the Lord Treasurer, !
Middlesex, having been impeached, I
through tho influence of Buckingham', of
bribery, oppression, and neglect of duty, !
was condemned to pay a line of £sojooo,
and to be imprisoned during pleasure, and
forever excluded from Parliament and the I
verge of the Court. But when the memo- i
ruble conflict between the King and Parlia.- !
ment, ending in the Revolution and Pro- j
tcetorate, broke out in tho next reign, the i
impeachment of Buckingham himself was i
a subject of long and angry controversy, j
The protection of Charles 1., who went to I
the length of dissolving Parliament in
order to save his favorite, could not have
shielded Hie Duke long from the vengeance
of the Commons; but his career was cut
short bv the knife of an. assassin.
The power of impeachment now became, !
in the hands of the popular party led by
Pym and Hampden, a weapon of tremen- !
dous power, and they used it without !
mercy. On tho 11 tlr of November, 1640,
tho House of Commons debated with j
closed dobvs, and when these were open
ed, a majority of the members, with Pym
at their head, proceeded to the bar of the
Lords and impeached Stafford, the most j
obnoxious of the royal ministers, of high :
treason. The trial took place in West- i
mini-ter Hall the following March. Next!
to the trial of Warren Hastings, it was j
probably the most remarkable impeach- |
ment ease in English history. The Com- j
mons sat on elevated benches on each side |
of the Lords. The King and Queen occu- |
pied private boxes behind tho throne, hop
ing vainly that their presence would act as !
a cheek upon the forwardness of the wit- ;
nesses aud the violence of tho managers.
A gallery was erected for ladies, wlio paid
high prices for admission. Tho trial lasted j
thirteecn days. The spectators used to'
come as early as five in tlie morning. By
aeveg the hall was full. The procodings
began at nine, and were often prolonged j
tili two, three, or four o'clock in the morn- !
ing without intermission. When the pris
oner was brought in, he made three ofeoi- !
sauces to the Lord High Stewart, and then j
knelt at the bar. Tho managers', thirteen
in number, opened the proceedings with a j
speech relative to some particular charge. |
Their witnesses were examined and cross- j
examined, and the Ceutt then adjourned
lor halt an hour,‘to allow Strafford an op
portunity of. conferring with his pounscl.
Afterward the Karl spoke and produe and
witnesses on hhylefencc, and the mana
gers spoke to omooec. The prisoner was
then remanded to the Tower. As the
trial went on if became evident that the i
number of Strafford’s friends increased, j
Though modern research has shown that
ho was guilty- of the offences with which he j
was charged, that fact was certainly not j
made out at the trial. The Commons \
abandoned the impeachment and int.ro-.;
duued in their own body a bill of attainder, 1
charging Strafford with an attempt to !
subvert the liberties of the country. Con- i
vieted and sentenced to death, he met his !
"fate with magnificent calmness and dignity, j
and has, doubtless, received a more lenient |
judgment from posterity than if his late j
had been less cruel and his prosecutors 1
more merciful.
When Strafford was led out to execution,
he knelt before the window of a cell which
he had to pass, and begged the blessing of .
Archbishop Laud, who was there im- !
prisoned on charges similar to those for 1
•which the Ear! himself was to suffer. \
Laud was impeached, and, aider a year and
a quarter, was brought to trial. The cause
was prolonged six months, and then was
terminated just as Strafford's had been.
The Commons, despairing of a conviction 1
before the Upper House, brought in a bill
ofattainder, and the Archbishop was be- ;
headed. .
Impeachments, indeed, from this time !
forth, seem to have been, with a very few 1
: exceptions, tedious, irritating, and ex
-1 pensive failures. Charles I. impeached
! the leaders of the Parliamentary party; \
, but liis action was clearly unconstitutional,
; and nothing came of it. While-tho civil
1 war was raging, the Commons impeached
: the Queen because she ha l joined Charles
j with a body of troops. This matter was
i never prosecuted. The trial of Charles I.
: was not by process of impeachment—the
Lords, indeed, refused to have anything to
! do with it—but the Commons erected
• themselves tor the occasion into a high !
! court of justice. Lord Clarendon was ipi
] poached of high treason in the reign of
Oil trie: i i..*aud went into voluntary exile,
l.erd - A '11 1 ) g. nn 3: i-. 1 Da •1 1 -y were impeached
; in the same reign, tend the prof caution
failed. But during the ir.saue period or
Date's “ Popish Plot, " the venerable
• Viscount- Stafford was placed at the bar of
the j louse of Lords, charged with coin
- plicity in that, imaginary scheme, and after
a seven days trial was convicted aud exe
cuted. liis death had an effect very
different from what his prosecutors de
sired. and probably did more than any
| other thing to arouse the nation from its
• bloody dream of plots and conspiracy. In
; deed tho tendency of impeachment
in modern times has almost always
been to raise the prisoner, to the
dignity of martyrdom, and benefit
the cause for which lie suffers. The
famous trial of Dr. Sacheverell, in the
reign of Queen Anne, is a striking instance
in point. This man, a preacher who “pos
sessed little of religion, virtue, learning, or
good sense,” was impeached in 1710 on
. account of two sermons, in which he do
nounced the act of toleration, and incul
cated high and dry Tpiy principles of pas
sive obedience, thus condemning by impli
cation the Revolution of 1659. During
the trial public passion became inflamed to
an almost ludicrous extent: the sermons
were printed and sold iu incredible num-
I bers. and the populace made the accused
the hero of the hour. He was suspended
from preaching for three years ; but the
1 mob celebrated this mild sentence as a popu
lar victory, and received Sacheverel lwith
ovations and 1 >onlires. On a change of minis
try he got a rich living. Lord Lovat, who
was impeached and beheaded in the reign
of George 1., for conspiracy to restore the
Stuarts, would have been
only for his rascalities, had not the dig
i nity of his trial raised him out of the mire
jiu which lie belonged. In the early years
i of tho reign of the House of Hanover im
■l peachmcnts were numerous, and the two
1 Houses of Parliament did not even deem
,it beneath their dignity to put forth all
| their power and magnificence for the pun
! i?h ment of such petty crimes as smuggling.
In several cases the only result of tiie pro
ceo line was that the Lords and the Com
mons got at loggerheads on technical ques
tions. and the prisoners escaped scot free.
The circumstances of the trial of Warren
Hastings arc to well known that wc need
j only briefly refer to them. Impeached for
| tyrannical and corrupt practices during
! his administration as Governor-General of
: British India, he was tried before one of
i the most distinguished assemblages that
1 ever gathered in Westminister'* Hah—
Barkc, Fox and Sheridan making some of
their most celebrated speeches as managers
jon behalf of the Commons. 'The articles
; of impeachment were brought forward in
April, 17,36. Two sessions were consumed
i iu preliminary measures. The trial began
• in February. 1783, and lasted until April,
1795, otic hundred aud forty-eight days
having been actually consumed in the
| process. Hastings was acquitted by large
majorities on all the charge?, and public
! opinion, which was savagely hostile to him
i at the beginning, was strongly in bis favor
i before the end; aud in neither case was
! precisely just.
Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville, the
celebrated e./iL-agha and frigid of Pitt, was
, impeached ia ISJS for misapplication af the ;
• public money and complicity with a swind- |
ling paymaster, while Treasurer of the
‘Navy. His trial b-gan in Westminister
Hail, May 29, 1506. and on the 12th of
June he was acquitted by a large majority
1 —a result which satisfied nobody of the in
; nocence of the accused, and tended to
bring into contempt both tho House of
: Lords and the practice of trial byimpeach
, ment. That was the last notable trial of
. the kind which has taken place in Eng
; land. A Mr. Paul made frequent at
: tempts in the House of Commons, in 1860,
; to bring forward articles of impeachment
against Marquis Well j-ley for misconduct
| in the government of India ; but the abor
; tive proceedings against Hastings and
Melville bad disgusted both Parliament
and people with a form of' trial which
seemed to have become little better than an
expensive system of whitewashing, and
Mr. Paul’s charges were never entertained.
There have been few cases of impeach
ment in the United States Congress. Wil
liam Blount, a .Senator from Tennessee,
was impeached ia 1797, for having in
trigued to transfer New Orleans and the
neighboring districts to Great- Britain, by
means of a joint expedition of English and
Indians. A long time was spent in dis
cu-sing tho affair, andit was finally dropped
by the. House, the Senate having passed
a resolution of expulsion. The proceed
ings resulted in a great increase of Mr.
Blount’s popularity, and ho was immedi
ately afterward elected to the St ate Senate,
and chosen its President. The case of
John Pickering, Judge of the District
.Court of the District of New Hampshire,
who was impeached in March. 1803, is a
peculiar one. There were four charges.
Tlie first three referred to certain illegal
proceedings taken in the Judge’s court in
reference to a ship seizdd' lor violation of
the revenue laws. The fourth alleged that
he was a man of loose morals- and intem
perate habits, and that on certain specified
occasions he had appeared on tho bench in
a state of total intoxication, and had been
tlien and there guilty of profanity and
other disgraceful, misdemeanors. The
trial began March 8, and closed on the
12th, a verdict of guilty being rendered on
all the charges, and Judge Pickering was
removed from office. But it was clearly
shown on the trial that the .accused had
be n for several years totally deranged.
The impeachment of .Samuel Chage, an
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
tho United States, for official misconduct,
was tho cause of' great public excitement
and party commotion in 1804-5. Judge
Chase was one'of the-.signers of the Dec
laration of Independence, a zealous and
industrious patriot during the Revolutiona
ry War, and an able and upright judge
though sometimes irascible and overbear
ing. The prosecution was instigated and
managed by John Randolph. The articles
embraced eight charges, and related chiefly
to alleged arbitrary,, unjust, and tyranni
cal conduct on certain political trials—
—those of John Fries for treason, and of
Taylor and Callender for seditious libel..
The Senate Chamber was fitted up for the
trial with appropriate elegance. Benches
covered with crimson, ‘on each side aud in
a line with the President, were assigned to
the members of the Senate. On the right
and in front of the Chair was a box for the
managers, and on the left a similar box for
the accused and-bis counsel. The rest of
the floor was filled with chairs For. tlie
members of the House of Representa
tives, arid boxes for Foreign Min
isters and the civil and military officers of
the United States. Spectators were ad
mitted to .the permanent gallery, and a
second gallery was erected for ladies.; but
it was found impossible to keep the sexes
separate. The trial began February 4,
i 805. Judge Chase appeared in person,
together with, his counsel, Messrs. Harper,
Martin, and Ilopkinson, and read a long
reply to the charges. The managers,
Messrs. Randolph, llodney, Nicholson,
Boyle, Campbell, Early, and Clark, put in
a replication. John Randolph opened the
impeachment in a powerful speech, and
the witnesses (or tho prosecution were then
called. Mr. Harper next spoke, for the
defence. After the examination of Mr.
Chase’s witnesses, seven days were occu
pied in arguments on both sides, and on
the Ist of March the vote was taken on
each of the charges separately. There
was a majority in favor of the accused on
five of tho eight charges, and a majority
against him bn the others, but not the two
thirds required by tbe Constitution to
convict, lie was accordingly discharged,
and retained his seat on the bench Until his
death.
James 11. Peck, Judge of tbe United
States District Court for the District of
Missouri, was impeached of high misde
meanors in office in 1830. The ground of
accusation against him was that*he had
imprisoned and suspended from practicing
in his court an attorney named Lawless,
for an alleged contempt in commenting in
a newspaper communication upon one of
the Judge’s decisions. The articles of ini
ji a :hm if w< re pre ■- nted by. Mr. Buch
anan, May 4, 1830. The trial began on
the 20th of December, and lasted until the
31st of January, when the accused - was
pronounced acquitted, twenty-one Senators
having voted him guilty, and twenty-two
not guilty.
An attempt was made in IS-J3 to im
peach President Tyler, and this movement
derives especial interest from tbe close re
semblances between the circumstances of
Mr. Tyler’s case and that of Mr. Andrew
Johnson. On the 10th of January, John
.Minor Bolts presented charges in the
House of Representatives and moved for
tho appointmept of a committee of inquiry.
The eharges accused the President of gross
usurpation of power and violation of law in
ordering tho payment of rejected claims
upon the Treasury ; of wickedly and cor
ruptly abusing the power of appointment
and removal ; of retaining men in office
for months after they had been rejected by
tii- Semite; of abusing the veto power*
and of other high crimes and mis
demeanors. The House refused, by a
vote of 127 to 83, to appoint a committee
of inquiry, and so the matter was allowed
to drop. '
Judge Watrous, of the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Texas, was accused of official misconduct
and corruption, aud a Committee of the
House of Representatives reported in
February, 1857, in favor of his impeach
ment : but, after a t n months’ discussion,
the affair was dismissed, the House re
solving that there was no occasion for
further proceedings.
The last case of impeachment before the
United States Senate was that,of West 11.
Humphreys. Judge of the District Court of
the United States in the District of Ten
nessee, for complicity in the rebellion. The
charges, seven in number, were presented
in April, 15'i2, and the trial took place on
the 26th of June of the same year, lasting
only one day. The accused failed to
appear, and there was, of course, no de
fence. He was found guilty, by a nearly
unanimous vote, on all the charges and a
sentence of removal and disqualification
was passed without a dissenting voice.
Mr. Peabody to the Publh;. — Boston, j
* . March T. —Mr. George Pea
limb', intending soon to leave for England,
deems it a duty due to himself to inform
ai! those' who, during his visit of tea
months in his native country, have written
to hint asking loans of money, donations to
literary institutions, _ subscriptions to
churches, public charities, &e., or assist
ance for themselves or others, that the
great number of these communications has
rendered it impossible for him to read or
answer, or even to open thorn in person.
The latter duty has, therefore, beea as
signed confidentially to others. And as
:• any of the writers have requested that
t: eir applications should be kept secret,
Mr. Peabody would state that he has this
day caused these letters, amounting to
nearly four thousand, to be burned in his
presence, thus relieving their apprehen
sions aud his own responsibility.

promise is that Convention will be
largely attended. —Coiambus Sun.

J The talhoiic (iergj on Fenianism.
We take the following extract from a
i Dublin letter:
I There have been various reports of sus
i picious meetings having been held in other
j parts of'ireland, and numerous arrests have
l been made, but there has not been any
I demonstration or responsive rising. The
I heads of the Roman Catholic Church have
j united with the government in denouncing
(’the Fenian conspiracy. On Sunday last
! the Rev. Dr. Moriarty, Bishop of Kerry.
; in his sermon, thus referred to it:
“Since we met here on last Sunday some
: people in Kerry have been betrayed into
! an act of madness which we may safeftqsay is
■ without aparalielin the annals of lunacy. I
. should have thought that, considering the
! spacious accommodation afforded by our
I lunatic asylum, and the facility afforded by
; our board of governor.-, there were few
i dangerous lunatics yet at large in this
j country. But lam s try to say I wa> mis
! taxon. It would seem that some dozens
! of that ci't -■ left the town of Cahirciveen on
j Wednesday evening with, the avowed
! intention of making war on the Queen of
i England, ad of upsetting the British em
! pirc. I think there is not one inmate of
! the asylum who would not hold his sides
with laughter if he hoard it. Now. if this
were only folly, We might bo satisfied to de
plore it, but these people were answerable
to God for their conduct, for they had, I
regret to say, sense enough to know what
they were doing was a grievous crime.
“It is justr twelve, months ago since I
explained at considerable length in ruy
Lenten pastoral the deep guiltiness of
rebellion against lawful authority, so they
cannot plead that they were not instructed
and forewarned. They resisted the ordi
nance of God, and by so doing they pur
chased for themselves damnation—■* * *
—the execrable swindlers who care not to
endanger the necks of the men who trust
them—who care not how mam-are mur
dered by the rebel or hanged off the strong
arm of the law, provided they can get a
supply of dollars either for their pleasures 1
.or for their wants. O God’s heaviest
curse—His withering, blasting, blighting
cur: :: is on them. I preached to you last
Sunday on the eternity of hell’s torment.
Human reason was inclined to say, ‘lt is a
hard word, and who can bear it ?’ But
when we look down into the fathomless
depth of this- infamy of the heads of the
Fenian conspiracy, we must acknowledge
that eternity is not long enough nor hell
hot enough to punish such miscreants.”
During the delivery of this discourse
numbers of young men left tbe cbapel.
Cardinal Cullen, at the Lord Mayor's
inauguration dinner last evening, “hoped j
the clay .would soon arrive When those j
thing.? which degrade the country and \
lead her people into false positions might •
be swept away. False patriotism was deg
radation, and might be perverted to ruin.
Within tbe last few days it was plain that
the patriotism to which he alluded ought
to be prohibited by every one who loved
his country. ’ ’
_ A most distressing scene took place in
the Commission Court on tlie occasion of
sentencing the prisoners who pleaded guil
ty to the charge of treason felony.
Baron Fitzgerald, in passing sentence,
said : “Power, you have been at the head
of this conspiracy in Dublin. You assumed
to yourseifthe power of appointing centres,
and Was actively engaged iu the distribu
tion of arms. You, Devoy, was centre for !
the military, and engaged in seducing them !
from their allegiance. The sentence, penal
servitude for fifteen years. Sinclair,
Baines, Stack, Stanley, and Brown for ten j
years each. Cashman, and Walsh, seven
years.” The prisoners seemed to be hor
ror struck with the severity of the sen
tences. Power’s face assumed • a deadly
line; Baines burst into tears. The galleries
were filled with their wives and children,
and other relatives. Their screams and
sobs were violent. Some became hysteri
cal, others fainted and had to be carried
away insensible. Stowell, Joyner and
Williams were sentenced to twelvemonths’
imprisonment each for possession of arms
without a license. Stephen J. Meaney
was brought before Baron Hughes. The
Attorney-General prosecuted. John Do
vany and Thomas Doyle proved tlie con
nection of Meany with the Brotherhood in
New York, having heard him speak at
Clinton Hall, and seen him offer Fenian
bonds for sale.
After hearing all tbs evidence tendered
by the Crown, . tho Judge requested tp
know what act had been proved that
brought the prisoner within the jurisdic
tion of the court. The Attorney General
contended that, although no act was
proved in this country, yet, as he had
proved the - existence of a conspiracy to
depose the Queen, acts tending to the
same outside the United Kingdom should
convict.
His lordship was of a different opinion,
and refused to pass sentence. He, how
ever, accepted a verdict of guilty, and put
back the prisoner'until he should further
examine into the case.
The action brought by Captain Murphy
against Colonel Fielding and Major Bacon
'for illegal imprisonment has, by mutual
agreement, been arranged by defendants
paying the sum of £IOO damages.

Hydrophobia.— The Detroit Union
furnishes the details of a most heart-rend
ing case of hydrophobia in that vicinty.
A short time since a daughter of Alfred
Woodruff, who resides in the town of
Greenfield, about seven miles from the
city,-was slightly bitten by a dog, and for
a day or two complained of the pain caused
simply by the bite. The sore partially
healed over, however, and no more atten
tion was paid to the matter. In a short
time, Lpwever, the virus which had been
communicated by the dog to her system,
commenced its deadly work, and the poor
suffering child soon became raving mad.
Her cries were heart-rending, and her ap
peals for death, for anything to end her
torture, frightful.
Everything that science and skill couK
do, was done for the little one, but theic
she lay upon her bed of anguish, bound
with cords, suffering.what no human pen
can describe, .vet evincing in her madness
a desire to injure even those who loved her
best. Her sufferings were too much for
human forbearance, her agony too great to
allow even her fond parents to witness it,
and the question arose, how shall this be
ended ? After a long and painful consul
tation, the conclusion was arrived at that
the best and most humane course to pur
sue was to put an end to the poor suffer
er’s life. Who can picture the feelings of
the dear little one's friends as the an
nouncement was made that she n/int die?
Who can imagine the rejoicing of the soul
of the poor one, as it was released from a
worn and tortured body ? The only
effectual and -easiest means of ending Lor
trials was decided tp be suffocation, and
while she was in one" of her worst parox
ysms, she was seized and smothered to
death. Though to some this way seem
harsh and cruel, yet in our estimation it
was a far better course than' to allow the
little one to live in pain, anguish, and
agony for a few short hours, suffering even
the pains and anguish of untold licit, and
at last die in misery.
A certai farmer (a pillar of the church)
had a fine field of wheat, which, being a
little late, was threatened with aii early
frost. In the emergency he went into his
closet and wrestled in prayer with the
Lord for its .preservation. In hi> prayer
he stated the facts fully, and how the
trhi'it would be affected by the frost, and
wound up his petition in these words:
‘'Not. Lord, that I would dictate, but
merely recommend and advise.”

While St. Marie was in Rome, after Sur

whether they desired a Convention, should

It was opposed principally.cn account of
opening a door to delay and irregularity in

Important from Mexico.— Brazos
Santiago, March B.—The mail steamer
leaves for New Orleans to-day, with news
from Brownsville, Matamoras, the Mexican
border, and .the far interior of Mexico.
We arc in possession of very important
news from tlie armies in the interior. It
came to hand through the most authorita
tive sources, and is entirely reliable.
The Emperor Maximilian arrived at
Querctaro on the 17th ult., and. at once
placed himself at the head of the imperial
army.
lie immediately issued a stirring procla
mation to the army and people.
In substance, Maximilian says that he
will defend the integrity and involubility
or Mexico, and that, being released from
French complications and embarrassments,
be will be able to devote his entire energies
totliewoik.
The Imperial forces at Querctaro num
ber about 10,000 men, and comprise the
commands of Gens. Miramon, Mejia,
Mendez, and Castilio. These forces Maxi
milian says he lias organized within the
last two months.
By special order of the Emperor Maxi
milian, Gen.. Marquez, who accompanied
him from the city of Mexico, has been
placed in chief command of the Imperial
armies.
General Miramon will command the
army of the South ; General Mejia that of
the North, and General Castillo that of
the centre. All these generals, together
with that of General Mendez and Governor
Vidaurri, were at Querctaro on the IStli
ult.
It is stated that all the foreign Embas
sies at the Mexican capital have protested
against the rule of Gen. Marquez. •
Juarez arrived at San Luis Potosi on
the 25th, and the Liberal accounts say lie
was received with great eclat.
General Escobedo, with the main force
of the Liberals, was at San Miguel de
Ailende.
There _ are reports of a Liberal defeat,
but nothing of the least reliability is known
of any collision bot.wcen the contending
forces.
The Liberals do not appear at all san
guine of success, and, indeed, need not,
for they could not stand against an or
ganized army.
The evacuation of San Luis Potosi,
Zacatecas, Durango and Monterey is not
improbable.
In addition to the 10,000 Imperial troops
at Querctaro, there is a strong garrison at
the Capitol.— N. O. Picayune , IDA.
Western & Atlantic Railway.— The
water has been gradually subsiding Within
the last twenty-four hours, and has gener
ally gotten within the banks of the streams
•beyond Tunuell Hill. The force sent up to
make the repairs were at work at C’nicka
mauga yesterday and expect to go forward,
with reasonable expectations of getting
into Chattanooga to-day. Everything ap
peared to bo going on well, all the force
working devotedly and with a will, fear
less alike of cold, wind, rain and river.
A man who left the car shed at Chatta
nooga on Thursday reported the water as
falling, and that he made bis way on the
cross-ties. He stated that the road was
but little damaged until within two miles of
Chattanooga—thence, onward, the breaks
were pretty bad.
But little, further is known of affairs at
Chattanooga, so far as damage or loss of
life is concerned. The suffering continues
to be intense.
A day or two ago an infant—a fine boy—
floated into the city in a small crib in'
which he was put to rest, alive and well.
Whether he lioated out of some home in
the city or came down the river was not
known.
There is but one break now between At- j
knia and New York, and that is at Straw
berry Plains.
It is believed that connection between j
this city and Chattanooga will be establish- j
ed by Sunday evening, :and that the train 1
leaving here then will run into that city I
Monday morning.
The damage dorto the Nashville and j
Chattanooga Kailway is very great, involv- j
ins-, among other serious disasters, the
carrying away of ail excepting live spans of'
the bridge at Bridgeport. This will very 1
mach delay freights during the time re- j
quired to repair it, to the material injury j
and embarrassment of trade, and incon
venience oftravellers. We hope, however, i
it will not be so to the extent many appre
hend. —Atlanta XcW Era, 16 th.

In the Senate, 3 Republicans and 4
Democracts probably elected. In the
1 House there is a Republican majority of
i 80. The Republicans have a majority in
six counties, and the Democrats in lour
; counties. The vote in the State will ex
ceed the vote of last year in the aggregate
by-1,500 to 2,000. The whole of the State
will exceed 67,000. The majority for
Harriman for Governor will probably ex
ceed 3,000.
A smart remark attributed to Count
Bismarck is said to have greatly irritated
the French Emperor. The results of the
late war ware being talked about before the
Prime Minister. ‘‘Prussia,” someone
remarked, “has had the line of the Maine;
Italy has had Yenetia; Russia has had the
East at her disposal: but France?”
“France,” the Prime Minister of King
William replied, “Well, she has her—

j EEYIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET,
j FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH loTH, 1567.
[lt should be borne in mind that
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rate*'.]
COTTON.—For some weeks the cotton
market has been sinking rapidly, prices I
declining in Liverpool and New York, j
This, of course, had a corresponding effect
upon the local market, which is governed
entirely by fluctuations abroad. Saturday,
the first of the week, the market closed flat
and continued without much' change for
the better until Thursday, when an ad
vance of tally a half cent was gained.
Friday the market was still further im
proved. But the scarcity of money and
the advance demandedby holders checked
business, and, in consequence, very little
is being done. It is believed that better
prices will prevail during the present
week, which will account for the stiffness
exhibited by the market. Want of funds
will, however, prevent large transactions,
j The following is the' week's operations:
! Saturday. —There has been no change
in the market for the better since yester
day, but there is still ,a declining ten
dency. Some few sales ol Strict Middling
were made at 271, and some at 28 cents-
The sales amounted to 75 bales, as follows:
IS at 27, 55 at 28, and 2 bales at 284 cents.
The receipts wero 161 bales.
Monday. —During the fore part of the
day tho*condition of the market was about
the same as on Saturday—very dull—but
late in the afternoon a better feeling was
produced by favorable New York advices,
though too late to have any effect on trans
actions of the (lay. We are unable to give
quotations, in consequence of the limited
sales made, which wero mostly lower
grades, amounting to 165 bales, as follows:
2at 20, 7at 25, 16 at 26, 11 at 264,74 at 27, 12
at 27.}, at 28, ayd 7 bales at 2SI cts. The
receipts were 204 bales.
Tuesday. —There has not been much
improvement since yesterday in the mar
ket. Prices remain about the same —say
about 27 cents, for Middling—and sales
rather less. Sales of higher grades of cotton
have been very limited—nearly ail sold
being stained or repacked cotton. 'KSie
sales were 158 bales,as follows:—s at 23, 11
at 24, 13 at 25, 10 at-26, 12 at 261, 21 at 27,
52 at 271, and 34 bales*pt 2S cents. The
receipts amounted to 97 bales.
Wednesday.— The market remained dull,
with no improvement whatever. Prices
remain about the sauso as yesterday—Very
few buyers in (ho market• in consequence
of the scarcity of money. Sales wore too
limited to warrant quotations. The sales
amounted to 173 bales, as follows: —1 at 20, j
5 at 22, 12 at 23, 8 at 24, 40 at 241, <> at 26, 25
at 261, 67 at 27, 4at 271, and 5 bales at 271
cents. The receipts were 71 hales.
Thursday.—A bettor feeling prevailed in
the market to-day than on yesterday, and
prices advanced half a cent on yesterday’s
figures, but sales were still limited. We
give, as a basis, 271 cents for Middling,
28 for Strict Middling and 20@25 cents for
stained cottons. The sales wero 127 bales,
as follows i-C at 25, 8 at 20V, 31 at. 27, 13 at
273, 7 at 274, 43 at 28, 7 at 281, and 12 bales
at 281 cents. The receipts amounted to 135
bales.
Friday. —A still better feeling prevailed
in the market to-day, with a fair deiliand,
and the sales indicate an advance of fully 2
cts. within the last two days. The offering
Stock was very light. *We quote the range
of the market at 23@29 cents—from the
sales made, more particularly, 27@29 cents.
The Sales amounted to'97 bales, as follows:
2 at 20, 2at 25, 3at 26, 25 at 28, 1 at 281, 60
at 281, and 5 bales Zippora cotton at 32 cts.
The receipts were 58 bales.
Note.—The following sales were made
late yesterday, and not reported:—l at 23,
2at 27,11 at A"!, and 11 bales at 271 cents.
Total 25 bales.

GENERAL MARKET.—Political CX
j citemeyt and impeeuniosity play sad havoc
j with mercantile and other interests. Mer
chants are disgusted and tho planters are
| blue; and hence business drags slowly in
> this burg. There is a plentiful supply
more, in fact, than the requirements of tire
! present dull times demand. Prices are
i about the same, but some articles are a
little stiffer and others a shade easier.
Breadstuff’s are firmer. In consequence of
, the heavy freshet in the Tennessee River
and the.interruption of railroad commu
nication with the West, corn is advancing.
Our “Prices’Current” denotes the state of
the market.
Augusta, March 16.
COTTON.—Wo have to report a still bet
ter feeling in the market to-day, with an
J advance of a half to one cent on yesterday’s
i figures, but holders are reluctant to accede
j to the views of buyers, which were rather
| below 30 cents. Sales were more numer
j ous than for some days past. W e quote
' Middling at 20, Strict Middling at 20 1, and
j Good Middling at 30 cents; stained cottons
i range from 22 to 26 cents. The sales were
260 bales, as follows: —2 at 27, 15 at 271, 2at
; 2S ; 22 at 28|, 47 at 2D, 50 at 29i, 15 at 201,101
