Mr James’ Pen day School Pic-Nic. ! The I'icNio of this School took place at 11 rzriia’on Thursday last. Owing to a heavy iain which fell at the time of the ‘ train starting, a great many were left be- j hind. IJuite a number cf them went up on the afternoon train, and returned with the Others at 0 o’c'oek P. M. The weather cleared up, and the sun shone out brightly soon after the party j arrived at Berzeiia, and so tho day was j spent pleasantly after all. There was an i abuu lance of good things to cat, and, under j the superintcnrli noe of the good-hearted and popular .Mr. \Y. C. Derry, all enjoyed j them jeli’ca greatly. Wo r grit to Darn that one little lad fell from a swing and injured bis wrist. This was the only accident that occurred to in terfere r idi the general festivities. We wi re unable to avail ourselves of the kind invitation to bo present ; but our young friends have our thanks and our , good wishes for many returns of pleasant parties and occasions cl happiness. A Handsome Carriage.— At the Car riage Repository of W'ymau A May, ad joining our office, there was, ou Friday, one of the handsomest carriages ever brought to this community. It was built at New Haven, Conn , to the order of Wyman A May, under the supervision of these ior partner of that firm, for Mr B. 8. Dunbar, of this city, it is a beauti ful pieco of work, highly finished throughout, and in the latest stylo of work manship. The mountings aro of anew racial, gold plated, And the painting ! spli ididly executed. The top can be let ' back, and tho vehicle can then be used us j un open carriage. The harness is also finely finished, the ! stitching having been done by Lari t, and. j the mountings in the ramo metal and I pi iting as those on the carriage. Tho carpet has tho narao of the owner wrought on it, and so lias the* handle ol one of the whips. Altogether, the affair is a very grand turn-out, and must have cost more than a poor local's salary*; but Mr. May has promised us a duplicate when we get mar ried (that is if we pay for it—generous man I) 8o now is your chance, girls, for a carriage and a driver ! I.Finrnr nv Rev. Mr. Kramer. —The Eaicnton (La.) J'ress and Messenger thus alludes to a lecture delivered by the former respected pastor of Bt. James Fpiscopal Mothodiot Church in this city: Lecture of Rev. Mr. Kramer —ln compliance with the request of our citi 20ns, 1 his gentleman delivered a 1,-cture u 1 ou the subject of the “Artistic Power,” to a Ur.-t stnl attentive audience, at the Cjiurt House, on Wednesday evening last. To say that this effort of tho Reverend geutleman was in keeping with his estab lished repu'ation for chaste and impressive figure, beautifully rounded periods, and lotty sentiment, is as high an cnconiutn a* could bo bestowed. It was all this, and we trust at an eatly day to present it to the readers of ihe First ft. Messenger, as the best page for thwir literary scrap-book*. The Virginia Spring*—The Green brier Wiutb Sulphur.— Mr. J. B Tins ley, of the Spotswood Hotel, Richmond, Va., during the good old days of the C. 8.

The climate experienced at the White i Suit bur is the most delightful to be found in the mouutaius. The thermometer ranees dur.ng the summer between 55 and 65 degrees,' and rarely attains more than SO degrees at any time of the day. while the atmosphere is so elastic and invigorat ing as to enable invalids to enjoy exorcise in the opeu air without inconvenience or fatigue. The virtues of the sulphur water, of which there are two springs, yielding thirty or forty gallons per minute, are too weli known, through medical aud other reports, to require mention here. In 1 SAT the White Sulphur Springs property was \ urehased by a number of Virginia gentlemen, whoassoeiated them selves in a joint stock company, under the i ante of the “TV hite Sulphur Springs Company.” In 1867 the Messrs, l’cyton A Cos., well known throughout the State, became the lessees of the springs, and eu jo- ed a most lucrative season, giving satis faction unbounded to thousands of guests. The stream of visitors commenced in J uly and continued far into September. Mo cn courfgcd were the Messrs. Peyton that they have renewed tlieir lease for this s, a »on, and for a cumber of seasons to come. In the mean time, skilled workmen have been era: h y and ac i are 1 u -y Mill in putting new improvements upon the building-, and adding to the attractiveness of the springs in every way. The cottages have b on re-touched,a now and elegant bowling ality and billiard quarters have been built, and upon all the buildings and about the | grounds new ornamentations have been maced with no unskillful or unlavi-h band. New furniture Las also been introduced in the cottages and chambers. The hotel proper is the largest building in the South j —four hundred fret is length, covering j more than an acre of ground. The grand ! parlor is one of the most magnificent in the United States —half as large again as the , ‘Ear t Hoorn 1 ’ of the Wire House at j Washington. The grand dining room is i three hundred feet Jong ty fiit.v feet w: !e, i and will seat comfortably twelve hundred 1 persons. This season the Me* -t* Peyt >n are pre pared to accommodate and entertain fifteen hundred guests, or even a greater number. 1 hen, the grounds are -o cirgc and the buildings «o immense that even thi- cum ber would fail to crowd the place un pleasantly. Draft.- iorßoreuberger’sftdl brans band— the same that delighted tho habitue* of the White Sulphur last summer—have been engag' 1 for this season, and the mu sics! part of the programme wit! be made to g> “ nr cry as a marriage bell.” The fab room is not, as at most of the spring., the dining room made to lervc both purpo-cs, but i» a ncMc, commodious hall jo i'-c i dty, airy and wui«, ligired, as a . toe buildings are, !>y paa raacrofac tured on the grounds. A word as to the society to he expected, and usually food at the White Sulphur, a-well as t brother V irginia springs. East season, which was the first re-nnion of I Northern and Southern society since the , clo-: of the war, it was an admixture of the !•■ -t \ irglnian and Southern families, 1 and il.tt. clement from Maryland and the • Northern States in which good sense, ex- j cohent culture and polished manners sup- ; j ly thy place of excessive display in fiish iotikhle dress, jewelry and stunning equip- 1 age. Ihe society is solid, rather than . -tiowy; and guests dress according to the i dictates of taste and comfort, which is supreme and above ti.e arbitrary rules of fashion. We add, in conclusion, that one of the i finn of Me.-sr.s. Peyton ACo., i> already at j the Spring 4, an ,j letters of inquiry ad-j dressed to that point will receive attention. ; I he Central I tail road finds its terminus this year, p, la-t, at Covington, twenty , odd miles from the White Sulphur, but ; the springs arc reached eerily and speedily j by coaches, traversing a mountain country j that is rendered delightful by its superb j scenery and excellent roads. i The Anneal Convention of the Poo- TEMTANT Lflst Ol'At. CIIL’BCU lll th© second day's proceedings of this b'idy, now sitting in Savannah, Georgia, and which wo find in the Savannah Itepitblican of May Oth, is the follow ing address and report of Bishop Beckwith : The Bishop aUted that h:s annual ad-; dress was l.ext in order. Up to Wednes day last ho had not had lirno to prepare the address, and then ire was suffering so ! from neuralgia that he was un i bin to un i it. He had prepared a stutistical report of 1 [ liis labors hi the Diocese, which the Secro- I tary would reud, and lie would prepare an address in timo for publication in tire <’/nirch. Journal. Ho returned thanks for j the reception lie had met with, and sai i that ho was convinced thatthe Church in Georgia was ready for a great work, and that the Cl>rgy and Unity would support the Bishop in liis labors. Amid the politi cal troubles and upheavingsof the past few years, the Church has maintained her position as tho true brunch of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. One great reason for this was the Catholic, spirit and tho warm heart of the great man who hnd gone before him. ll* had felt his in- Uuence wherever he had gone ; his hand hud so cemented tho Clergy ami Laity t hot all that ho (the speaker) had to do was to corno in and work where ho had opened tho way. lie prayed God that one peculiar feature of the ('hiireh might never bo removed. Xho r liui eh iejds herself fn facts and acts upon the>ub!inretrnth that God lias permitted her members to ho members of the Holy Catholic Church, and ■ elm lias never been disturbed bypolitical in fluence, or given any attontion in her legis lative halls to political questions. God grant that the day may never come when politi cal questions will have one leather’s weight in our legislative bodies of tho ( bun h ; but may she remain God's Chuieb, and her ministers teachers of the < Icspel of Christ and Him crucified—only this and nothing more. The Church may Iravo been misjudged in the past, but tho day will cotno when her true Catholic spirit will be recogniised. Kven now this suti.ji . t. is attracting attention, and the minds of men and women, of true Chiis tiens everywhere are turning to us as the! < 'hurch where they can c une and worship Got as tho children of God, and not as the representatives of party. This feature of the Church acts us a tremendous lever, and is Hire tdv bringing into tho folds of the ('hutch ihoi#ntids and tens of thousands of members of other sects, whose places of worship have been invaded by politics and they gatbtraround the altars whore they can never hear tho echoes of political . opinion. G,d grant that it may bo our \ duty and pleasure to elevate and maintain the Church as God's Church—tho Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. Again 1 thank you for the reception ihat I have met with, 1 shall go forth from ibis Convention strengthened, and with honesty and humility try to'carry the Gos- J pel wherever God will enable me to go in • the Diocese, and I count upon the firm arid united support of the Clergy and Laitv so \ ho long as I, as Bishop of the Catti-die • Church, am true to that faith which was 1 once delivered to the saints.

Mr Johnson, of Savannah, moved to amend and make it Wednesday, ins ead of Thursday, and Dr Henderson accepted tho amendment. The resolution was then adopted.

Nebbut, Esq., mine excellent hostef the hotel a> Berzella—the Printers’ friend, everybody’s friend — called at our office Saturday to say that be had seen a notice in our paper of an in tended Printers’ Fic Nte on the coming Fourth of July. and if they should do him the honor of selecting Berzelia as the place to LoM it, that it will afford him the most unaffected pleasure to welcome them once more to that beautiful spot, and will pay them all the attention tbatageuial, whole souled ho.-, can afford. There is no man in these parts that has a higher apprem tion of Ft inters than he has, and we are ! quite sure none will go farther to serve them than he. In addition to this the place itself is an admirable spot for the occasion—surrounded, as it is, by wild, romantic scenery—blessed with excellent water, spicy breezes, balmy air, and far removed from the smoke, the dust, the hum, hubbub and bustle of the city—a spot where geniality and good cheer pre vat’s, and where a wholesale Georgia wel I come awaits the craft. i A State Democratic UonrcnDon. The fkiinre o* the Deutccratie jarsy to carry the State in the recent election may be fairly attributed so the want of organi zation. We do not.propose now to go into an examination of the reasons why the party adventured upon the most impor tant, and we may say uncertain, contest which has ever occurred ja the history of the State without that degree of unity, com pact n-s and thorough organization which the magnitude of the questions involved seemed to demand. The truth is, that a large portion of the Stale was almost en tirely nc-giected during the late canvass— speakers or document having been -.ent to inform the people and arouse them to action. This could not have occurred under a proper and full organi- 1 za:i-m of the party. Such may be the | result during the President- ! ial election, unless being warned by the j recent past we begin iu time to make 1 preparations for the coming canvass. Looking outside of our own S-'ate we Scd many reasons why speedy steps should be taken to effect a full, s'rong and effeet , ;ve organization of the Democratic element ' in our Stale. We are not unmindful thatthe CoTitervalive convention which suet in : Macon last fall, through the Presidentof i that body, selected and appointed a Central Executive Committee clothed with very full and am pie power to carry out the objectsof ; the Convention so far as they were de velo- cdby that body. That Convention convened under a call for the Cens/nativc.* |of the State—it organized as such and, closing its labors, appointed a Commit tee just named) to continue its organiza tion. Subsequently that Committee is sued an address to the people of the State recon'.mcnding their party to drop the name of Conservative and adopt that of the party which had shown itself to be the only national orgaaizatiou which opposed the revolutionary action of the Radieo! Congress. This, we think, was, in itself, expedient and right, but we very much doubt the power of the Committee to thus auramariiy hand over the Conservative party of the State to the National De mocracy. But ha this as it may, the Con servatives throughout the State, with great unanimity, fully endorsed and ap proved this action and recommendation of the Central Executive Committee. Having thus determined to align our- 1 selves with the National Democracy in the great contest which they aro waging against the enemies of the South and of constitutional liberty, we suggest the pro priety of calling together, at as early a day as may be practicable, a Convention of the party, to meet at the capital of the State and there complete and compact the organization Os the Democratic party of the State of Georgia. A declaration of prin ciples—or perhaps that which would be better still—a strong, terse and manly ap peal to the Conservative element of the North and West might bo prepared by some of our leading statesmen, in which the Northern people could be informed as to the true status and feeling of their Southern white brethren on the great ques tions which agitato the Union and threat ens the overthrow of constitutional liberty. A Slate Convention, to be composed of delegates selected from each county in the j State, and speaking, as such Convention | would, for the intelligence, virtue and re- | spectability of the South, wouid, doubtless, ! greatly influence the Northern mind upon ] those subjects which are considered to be j more particularly Southern in their aspects and consequences. We think, too, that the convocation of such a-body now would enable us to enlist in the behalf of Democ racy very many of the gentlemen who arc elected to the Legislature as “independ ents” or “Conservatives.” In order to secure a full [representation, tho Conven tion might be called to assemble at or about the time of the meeting of the Legis lature, and in those counties whore they have elected Democratic Senators and Representatives the latter might be authorized to represent these counties iu the Convention. We could, also, have the advice and counsels of the leading Demo crats in the different sections of the State, and a campaign might bo arranged and ! prepared which would render success in the I approaching canvass almost, absolutely i certain. There are many questions, of in- j terest which ought to be considered and agreed Upon before the canvass opens. ! Many details of the campaign might be ar ranged which, if left to the independent i action of the different counties, might re sult in division, want of harmony, and . finally iu defeat. To avoid the possibility of distracted counsels or antagonistic action on the part of our friends, and to harmonize, mobilize and strengthen oar own party, we are clearly of'the opinion that a Convention of the party should be called at once. We have taken tho liberty to make this sug gestion after consultation wit h some of our more distinguished and leading statesmen, and who fully and cordially concur in the recommendation. We believe that the Central Executive Committee has the right to call such a Convention, and wc invite tho attention of the Democratic press to the subject, and ask for an expres sion of opinion from them on (lie expe diency of such a call. Augusta Methodist Union.—We are , indebted to the Secretary,for tbe following , report cf the proceedings in reference to | the Augusta Methedist Union : Two months since a communication, ! setting forth tfie necessity of a more per- ' feet union among the Methodists ol' this city, was addressed to ttie Pastor and : Board of Stewards of St. John’s and As ! bury’s Chinch, respectively, by the Pastor i and Board of Stewards of St. James, j The objects of this Union, briefly stated, are as follows : Ist. The religious advancement of tho i whole Methodist community. 2d. The establishment of benevolent and chaaitable Societies lor the immediate 1 benefit of our own poor, and the poor of ihe community at large. fid. The systematic dissemination of our Church literature, and the performance of | sundry other disciplinary duties. Toth? communication abeve mention ed, tbe Pastors and Official Boards of St. ; John's and Asbnry returned an affirma tive response. The first conference under the projHlsilion look place at Ml. John's Church on the evening of March 23d ult., at which time a Constitution was perfect ed and ordered to be submitted to the sev eral Churches for ratification or rejection. It w as.unauimously adopted,and under its 1 provisions the following named brethren were elected officers at and managers : d'l esU’ent— Dr. J P Garvin.

On Sunday, May 3rd, at 10 o'clock ». m., the first anniversary meetingof the Union was held at St. John’s Church, on which occasion the Statiscal Secretary presented an interesting report, extracts from which | appear elsewhere. Rev. Arminius Wright preached an able, j eloquent, and instructive sermon from tins 1 text : ••i'he Lord hath done great things for us, I whereof we are gaid."—l2ti:h Psalm, 3 v. 1 The Sacrament of the Lord’s.Snpper was | administered to upward pf, if not more , than, five hundred communicants. Rev. Cro. George H Putillo consecrated the ele- \ raents, ; sßsted by Rev. Bros. Wright and ■ Calhoun. It may b proper to say, that Rev. Br \ Caleb W. Key, Pastor of Asbnry Chapel, was deterred l>y sickness from participa ting in the impressive ceremonies of the occasion. In the afternoon, the several Methodist Sabbath Schools assembled at St. John’s, when tho children alternately engaged in sinning hymns and listening to well-timed ■ and irt ‘ scs, delivered by Hon. 11. W, jLl iiar.i. Rev. Geo. 11. Patllio, and Rev. Ar ltttnius Wright.

The Recorder's Court—A Hard Shell : | The Becoriier sat iu his easy chair, He wore a graceful and dignified ~ir, The officer cried “Silence in Gourf,” And so we begin our legal report. “Stand up, Simon Buchardt,” said, His Honor, imperatively. “Ah right.

From the Jf. Y. Herald. A Hubbub Among the Carpet-Baggers and the Radicals—Close of the -Argu ment on Both Sidfis— Ihe'Reported De fection of Fessenden. Washington, May 6, 1868.— The be ginning of the end is at hand. The evi dence and the mile after mile of speeches are a’! in at last, and the immortal Man agers have filed or finished their finest efforts for posterity. Mr. Bingham con tinued his address and perpetrated some remarkably floral and highly polished sen tences, not exactly original, but just as good in being the fathered wisdom of a thousand years. His peroration was in tended exclusively for the Senators, with the object of banishing from the minds of the doubtful all maudlin sentiments about a conscientious verdict by a vigorous ap plication of denunciatory rhetoric. This Chinese method of inspiring terror availed very little with any of those Senators who are classed among the famous doubtful seven, for as a genet'll thing they listened to the Manager’s declamation with looks expressive of a desire to see him resume bis seat as soon as possible. The galleries were very full, more so, in fact, than ever they were before. A good many were awkward looking country cousins who had made a sudden rush to Washington to see the show before it closed forever. When Bingham ceased a sudden burst of applause came from the men’s gallery, originating in one corner where a number of carpet-baggers from the South were congregated and spreading across to the opposite corner til! it became somewhat general over one-half of the chamber. It consisted in a clapping of hands, lasting for about a period of two minutes. It was by no means the senseof the whole audience, though it might easily have been, considering the fact that, hardly any but Republicans get. the necessary tickets of admission. Chief Justice Chase, when the applause was over, ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to clear the galleries, whereupon Senator Grimes at once rose up and said he hoped the order would be immediately enforced. Then the carpet baggers in the corner, a seedy and hungry looking set, started a partial effort at renewed applause as bidding defiance to the Chief Justice, and mingling hisses with their other demonstrations. Senators Trumbull and Fessenden,evidently irritated at this flagrantpartisan ebullition of feeling in a tribunal of such serious and solemn im port, took up and urged the enforcement of ; the order of the Chief Justice for the ini- [ mediate clearing of the galleries. Mr Cameron wanted the order revoked and the galleries left undisturbed, but the j Chief Justice, with the firmness that has i marked him since he first came to preside j over the trial, directed the execution of j the order without any modification ; and ; then followed a scene of confusion in the j galleries which tho Senate seldom before ! witnessed. One ha!! the audience failed j to comprehend the order and kept their ) places, while the other half were either j standing up or going out, easting longing, ! lingering looks behind. Henator Sherman 1 suggested the propriety of the order being j addressed to tbe multitude of spectators, i so that they might properly understand it. The Chief Justice accepted the sugges- ! ticn and told the audience to leave, where- 1 upon every one except the occupants of’ the diplomatic and reporters’ galleries stood up and moved toward the doors. But still here and there several ladies lin gered, impelled by natural curiosity to witness the next scene in tho proceedings The police, however, soon disposed of the i loiterers, and in a very brief time the vast j assemblage had disappeared. Then arose : the question as to what was to be done 1 with the diplomats and the newspaper scribes? “Clear them all out,” rudely ; proposed Mr. Cameron, who was 1 determined, as the order had been put in force, that it should be made I to apply to all. It was put to a vote and . carried, and both diplomacy and journalism ! were left without a representative in the j Senate Chamber. The carpet-baggers • who came here from the South yelling for impeachment, and who were the imme- I diate cause of this unusual proceeding, [ went home to their cheap-boarding houses, [ congratulating themselves no doubt on hav- j ing at last insulted the dignity of the ! Chief Just ice. Many persons lingered in I the corridors while the Senate remained 1 in secret session, and when tho doors were I again declared open a -perfect rush was \ made to secure seats, as though something ! of tremendous moment was expected to i transpire. The Senate, however, had just I declared a recess, and when that expired, j on motion of Mr. Hendricks, the Senate resolved to close its doors again for the’ consideration of business. The audience, ! of course, departed, and the Senate shut | itself up for over an hour discussing the 1 resolutions offered last week by Senator Edmunds, and also the resolutions ot : Senator Sumner. Mr. Edmunds’—to ad- ! rr.it the official reporter to the private dc- 1 liberations cf the court —was tabled, and j no action was taken on any other. The ; Senatethen adjourned till to-taorrow. The statements in relation to the written -opinion, prepared bv Senator Fessenden in opposition to the first three of the im peachment articles, the consideration of all of which has been terminated, still occa sions a diversity of views as to the effect which such action will have upon the con viction or acquittal of the President. It is quite evident that the action of tho Senator from Maine has fallen like a hot shot amid a mass of highly combustible material.— Yesterday-morning i: is known that several Senators called upon Fessenden, and again attempted by every art of logic and rhetoric to dissuade him from the pe-ition.it is un de! stood he has assumed. All the persua sive ability these Senators e-.v.id command, it L stated, was of no avail. One of the number in conversation, when it was sug gested that he should endeavor to bring Fessenden within bounds, remarked, ’ Have I not tried to do that thing, and all to no purpose? It is no use trying to con vince him; he is as stubborn as a mule." This sc-ems to be the prevailing opinion ■ with a number of Senators, that no out ride influence will hive any efieot against ; Mr. Fessenden's convictions of justice, j These facts have had a perceptibly de ! pressing effect upon the expectations of the Radicals, and has created a wide di ; vision of sentiment. It is openly declared I by some of the friends of conviction that ! Mr. Fessenden’s action will settle the | question one way or the other. It is as ! sorted tfiat goes against ccn- I viction the Radical game is broken up | bevond doubt, as he will be able to take ; with him enough Senators to insure .he | acquittal of the'President. Though some | c ,f the Radicals take this view, another : class, when they come to fingering oyer ; those whom they have set down as doubt ful, declare that not mare than five, in I eluding Mr. Fessenden, can be counted i upon. Considerable satisfaction is de j rived from this species ot reasoning, and , not without reviving some signs of en -1 eourage-ment in the breasts of theden.of | alized of the party.

Washington, May 8, p. m.— A de ficiency of $87,000 for the administration ; of the Reconstruction Acts was considered Reported a joint r, solution ordering the ! President to send war vessels to the Guli ; of St. Lawrence to protect fishing interests and to demand reparation for certain in i juries. in the course of debate Mr. Pike said, “who is afraid cf war.” The resolution | a>ks nothing but that your laws shall be 1 enforced. The amendment proposed to | send vessels to tha coast of Ireland to take 1 care of American interests there was re jected. During the debate Pike thought some one called him a coward, and made some inaudible remark, for which he was called to ordor. The Tariff question was introduced. Pike wanted free trade flu* shipbuilding JTd 2 {Bilals. E'dt idge asked if free trade was good for New .England shipbuilders, why it was not for Western laborers ? After a long dis cussion, Somewhat jocular in character but showing considerable sectional acrimony, the resolution was passed bya vote 0f92 to 30. _ Robinson offered a resolution expunging the Impeachment Resolutions from the journal. The Speaker declared it not a privileged question. Robinson said he would bring it up again; it was a mere question of time, and it would ultimately be expunged. _ btevens introduced a bill for the admis sion of Arkansas. It was ordered to be printed. The House adjourned. SENATE. The Court, after a prolonged secret ses sion, resulted in the adoption of the follow ing : 'That the Court adjourn to Monday at 11 o’clock, when it will consider votes and the vote on the several articles shall be taken at noon Tuesday without debate. Speeches shall be limited to fifteen minutes on the entire subject and not on each arti cle. Members may file written opinions witbfu two days after the vote on the arti cles to be published with the proceedings. A motion regarding the form in which the Chief Justice shall put the question to Senators was tabled. HOUSE. Washington, May 8, p. m.— Private bills considered. Stevens reported a bill admitting Arkan sas. He considered the Constitution un exceptional and did not desire to debate the bill. Several members complained they had never seen the Constitution. Baker, though favoring the provision, doubted the Constitutional power to en force the stipulation regarding suffrage. Business of this kind should not be done hurriedly ; nor should the bill pass until the Constitution was examined. Stevens said there was not a clause in the Constitu tion objectionable to a man who favored freedom. Stevens demanded the previous question. The previous question was seconded and ihe main question ordered. Stevens having the floor yielded fifteen minutes so Woodward, who, never having seen the Constitution, declined speaking. Beck claimed that if time was allowed him he could demonstrate that the Consti tution novel-received the voto cfa majority of tbe people of Arkansas, Few days would show this. Therefore they rushed the bill through, Beck said the franchise and educational claims are particularly obnoxious. The bill finally passed 110 to 32 —Baker, Loan, Spaulding and Williams, of Pennsylvania, voting nay. Shanks introduced a resolution declar ing the officers recently elected in South Carolina to be the provisional government of the State—referred to the Reconstruc tion Committee. Paine reported a bill admitting South Carolina—ordered printed and adjourned to Monday. SENATE. No session to-day. Washington, May 9, p. m— Neither House in session. From Europe.

When tho English approached, the eno my was in grand array. The tight opened with mortars. Soon four thousand Abys sinians, with loud shouts and triumphal songs, charged the British batteries but were repulsed, leaving seven hundred men killed, Including two chiefs. The Abys sinian tactics and courage was very good. Theodorus now sent a flag of truce de- j manding peace. Napier demanded an un conditional surrender. Theodorus replied j that he would never accept such arbitrary j terms, that ho would rather fight; but asked Napier to take the English pria- j oners and then go away. All the prisoners were released, but tho King refused to surrender himself—the storming of Nagdala followed.

Washington, May 8,, noon.— The South Carolina Committee will protest against the Constitution before the Re construction Committee. Stevens received them with a chilling remark, that what the protest claimed as grievances they regarded as virtues. Col. Thomas addressed the Committee, making the points that the wliita people would not patiently submit to negro supremacy ; and that while they would be compelled to submit to the yoke there could be no real peace until it was removed. The question of taxation seemed to impress the Committee socially. Steven* suggested the plan of allowing the prop erty-holders to fix taxation. Many Southerners were present in the Commit tee room, and the Committee are hopeful of some modification ol the most objec tionable f atures of the Cos stitution. The Committee are favorably received, and their views 1 allv endorsed by representa tive men here of the Northern Democracy. Washington, May 8, noon.—The American Medical Association meet* next year at New Orleans. Dr. Wm. 0. Bald win, of Montgomery, Alabama, is elected President. Receiving him on behalf of the Association, JJr. Gross said : “I wel come you as the representative of our long lost brethren. May God bless you ! God bless your people ' God bless all of us!” Dr. Baldwin replied at length and was frequently avplanded. Judge Chase's connection with adjourn ruenc was misstated last night. The ad journment had been fixed for 11 o’clock : Monday. Chase said it would place him in an embarrassing position to frame the questions and therefore he should like to 1 have the advice of the Senate on the sub i ject, and would be o’ 'iged to them if they would adjourn until 10 o’clock on Monday ftstead of 11 o’clock, which was adopted. Washington, May 8, p. m.—There was a fail Cabinet meeting to-day. The Radicals nominated Sayles J. Bowen, city Postmaster, far Mayor.

Genera! Rosseau and several members of Congress visited the President. Ex-President Buchanan is dangerously sick. The Stars ays “the bears in impeach ment stock made a tremendous rally last evening, and for a time Lad it all their own way at the leading hotels and other points where transactions in the market are carried on. Friends of the President who were supposed to know a thing or two were petting wild on acquittal two to cne, ten to one, and a hundred to one. Later at night the balls rallied, 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 uppermost one hour and the bulls the next. Should the excitement increase in the ratio it has for the last forty eight hours, by Tuesday it will be up to fever heat and something over. Undoubtedly Tuesday will be the most exciting day iu Washington since the surrender of Lee's army. The Express says “there is agood deal of talk about town to day upon the probable result of the impeachment trial; the public pulse is somewhat excited, but the pre ponderance of opinion sccras to be upon the side of acquittal. “A gentleman usually well informed upon current topics, and who has oppor tunities of knowing whereof he speaks, states this p. rn. that Senators had dis ; posed of the question of Stanton’s re • moval, and will make no question of the i President’s right .to make the removal. ■ The point about which they are now con j eerned is in relation to the ad interim ap- I poiutment and the letter of authority to General Thomas. The Senators who are satisfied that there is no cause of conviction by reason of Mr. Stanton’s removal, are also well satisfied that the Executive had the right to make the ad interim appoint ment. It is not believed, however, that this point will be considered a high crime or misdemeanor ’’ ggjgj! The above paragraphs are telegraphed to illustrate the utter uncertainty regarding the result. In a well authenticated con versation the President is represented to have said, in answer to a question regard ing Bingham’s suggestion, that he would not obey the Senate’s mandate, “Why should I not obey if the forms of the Con stitution are complied with ? If Senators do not act justly they are responsible, hot to me, but to the people. • The people who hold the sovereign power have placed me over one department,- with all its duties and responsibilities, and have placed monitors also with grave responsibilities and with a constitutional power to try impeachment and render judgment there on. If they misuse or abuse this or any other power the people alone can hold them to account. The people having empowered them to try impeachment it is not for the party tried to set aside thi.- judgment; the people alone can settle with their agents for any abuse of their great trusts. ’ ’ Earthquakes, San Francisco, May 9, p. m.—Various terrible phenomena occurred at Maunaloa between the 28th of March and the 13th of April: Two.lhousand earthquake,shocks have.occurred; the shock on April 2d lasted for three minutes. No one couid stand; even churches and houses in Ililvays China were involved in the fall Following the shock came the tidal wave sixty feet high, sweeping everything before it. The earth opened with bottomless fissures, and thirty persons were swallowed up. The earth opened under the sea, making the water perfectly red. Vast land-slides have, in the meantime, occurred, destroying life and property. The summit and side of a hill, fifteen hundred feet high, were thrown a thousand feet over tho..topß of the trees into a valley below. Gas issued afterward, destroying animals and veg etable life. An island four hundred teet high was thrown up three miles from VVais China, and is joined to the land by a stream of lava a mile wide. Volcanic displays illuminated the sea for fifty miles. Une hundred lives and half a million of property were destroyed. From the West. St. Louts, May 9, p. m.—The Indians burnt three car loads of freight and tore up the telegraph West of Cayote.

Withers, of Lynchburg, was nominated by the Conservative Convention for Governor. Richmond, May 8, p. m.—The Con servative Convention to-day nominated Robert E. Withers, of Lynchburg, for Governor; General James Walker, of Pulaski, Lt. Governor ; J. L. Marye, Jr., of Spotsylvania, Attorney General, and Marmaduke Johnson, of Richmond, Con-j gressnian at. large. The vote for Govern-] or was: Withers 52, J. B. Baldwin j 49. Withers and Walker are eligible to j office under the Reconstruction Acts of Congress, but not under the test oath of the new constitution. L. S. Bocock, John B. Baldwin, Fayette McMullen, George Blow and Thomas S. Flournoy were appointed delegates at large to the Democratic National Convention. A resolution was adopted thanking nat uralized citizens for their heretofore unanimous co-operation with the Conserva tive parly. The Convention adjourned si/'./? die. No platform adopted. Genera! Schofield appointed- Francis DoCordy Mayor of Norfolk vice list ap pointee, who could not take the oath. Some of the dissatisfied members of the Republican Convention have gotten up a ticket: H. M. Bowden, of Norfolk, for Governor; Dr. Bayne (negro), of Norfolk, Lt. Governor ; T. 11. Bowden, present At torney General for that position. The movement is not likely to amount to any thing. Two hundredand eighty-threc municipal officers have bean appointed by General Schofield since January first. Richmond, May 9, p. m.—The Supreme ' Court to day decided that in debts con- i tracted in Confederate money, the amount j shall be commuted at the value of money ' when the debt matured, and not when it ! was contracted.

The sales have been small, owing to the fact that holders have been unwilling to submit to the decline, while buyers showed no disposition to buy. This has been the feeling in all the leading markets, and the same lias characterized the Augusta mar ket. The sales have been very small and prices merely nominal. We append the transactions of the week : Friday. —We can perceive no material change in the market during the past few days; sellers are asking moro than buyers are willing to give. Some.few,sales were made at 30 ets for Middling, amounting to 05 bales, market closing weak at that price. Receipts 54 bales. Saturday. —The markot remains in the same condition that it lias been during tho week. There is little or no demand, and sellers are asking 30(0.31 cts. for Middling. Sales 97 bales. Receipts 47 bales. Monday.— Our market continues un changed. Buyers offer 30c for Middlings and sellers demand 31c, in consequence of which very few sales are made, amount - ing to only 33 baies to-day. Receipts 36 bales. Tuesday. -The demand to-day has been somewhat better than for several days past, resulting in 317 bales being sold on a basis of 30c for Middlings, but the market closed weak.
