WashiiWTOn, January 5V
"Duse.—Although to-day was de
tod to inert speech making, a (fis
sion between two of the ablest and
c--st prominent Rcpulicans which ex
cited the closest attention.,
Mr. Spaulding, of in
to an argument to show that the South
ern States adopting the Constitutional
Amendment could resume thair Con
ivs.tonal representation without fnr
v action ; in other Avoids, restoration
o i be complete.
a recent visit to Petersburg, Vir
ui, gentlemen with whom he eon
* j'l. skid the adoption of the A
r.dment by Southerners would be a
lomnatioii of their leaders; but if
• e -fourth's of the States should ratify
would be found in Yir
miu.
Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylania, obtained
(•mission to state the substance of
•iters he had received from North and
outh Carolina, in which the Avriters
* xpressed views similar to those refer
red to in Petersburg.
Mr. Spaulding, resuming, Avarned
liis poetical trends not to insist on ultra
measures; such as the impeachment
of the President, while Congress have
a two-third power over the action of
the Executive. Such measures world
re-act on the Republican party. “ If,”
he added,/ 1 avg find by the fortieth Con
gress that the South do not ratify the
Amendmsnt then let the gentleman
from Pennsylvanie call up his bill for
the reconstruction of the Southern
States.”
Mr. Stevens replied, combating Mr.
Spaulding’s argument that, the ratifi
cation of the Amendment was to be
the final act. This would leave the
country open to an influx of reconstruc
ted rebels. The House and public
ought to .know the gentleman had ut
tered the most pernicious doctrine of
rebel sympathisers. To ask rebels to
vote on the Amendment is to stultify
ourselves, for while avc in fact hold the
South as conquered provinces Ave re
cognize them as lojval States, but Ave
propose to regulate these States our
selves by law.
Mr. Niblaclc, of Indiana, „ asked
whether Mr. Stevens and his friends
did not admit Tennessee on the ground
that she adopted the Constitutional
Amendment, and whether the Radical
majority did not regard that as an ev
idence of her loyalty.
Mr. Stevens replied that the pream
ble to the bill admitting Tennessee,
recited the good things she had done,
but she was not admitted on the ground
alone. '
Mr. Maynard, ofTennessee, inquired
whether the gentleman would not A T ote
for the admission of other Southern
States, Avhich Avould secure freedmen
in their civil rights, and exhibit indis
,putable evidences of loyalty.
Mr. Stevens replied lie would ncA r er
vote for the admission of any State
which did not confer negro suffrage,
Mr. Maynard, said Tennessee had
done as much as Pennyslvania and
other Northern States had done. That
State did not permit negro suffrage.
Mr. Stevens replied, the remark was
just and right. Pennsylvania, and
other ought to blush for the in-
Mi’. Spuuldtng’s Radicalism, but as
with shrubs his roots might not go
down i'aore than half an inch or six
inches. This remark created much
laughter, which Spiulding turnedaside
by saving, the less they talked about
the roots the better.
Washington, Jan. 7. •
In the itouse to-day Mr. Ashley, of
Ohio, iiitrodneed a preamble and re
solution impeaching Andrew Johnson,
Vice President, acting President of
the United States, of high crimes and
misdemeanor pin that he usurped pow- j
or and violated laws ; that he had made
corrupt use of the appointing power
and the veto power; that lie had cor
ruptly disposed of the public property i
of the United Saates; that he had cor
'ruptly interfered in elections and was
guilty of other high crimes and mis- !■
'demeanors.
The rcsoultion instructs the Com
mittee on Judiciary to inquire whether
in the discharge of his power and du
ties, Andrew .Johnson, Vice President
and acting President of the United I
(States, was guilty of acts designed to
subvert the Government of the United
States or any department thereof, and ,
whether lie had_been guilty of such I
acts as in law would be denominated ;
high crimes and misdemeanors, which
required the interposition of the House,
and the Committee have power to send
of persons and papers.
Mr. Spalding moved to lay the res
olution on the table. Not ageed to—
yeas 39, nays 105.
Mr. Ashley demanded the previous !
question on the passage of the resolu- j
lion, and it was ordered.
The resolution was then agreed to bj r
a vote-of 160 yeas to 65 nays.
In the Senate, the President’s Veto
Message was received and read, and
the bill passed over the veto by a vote
of 29 to 10, Those voting in the neg
ative were : Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle,
Foster, Hendricks, Johnson, Nesmith,
Norton, Patterson, Van Winkle; ab
sent, Buckalew.jDavis,Guthrie, Harris,
MeDougall, Nye, Pomeroy, Riddle,

SENSIBLE ADVICE.
The Greensboro’ (Ala.) Beacon gives !
the following very sensible advice to
the land owners of that section. The |
advice is equally applicable to this lat-!
itude, and we trust it will not be total-;
ly lost on those to whom it is address
ed. The Beacon says :
“ Land owners, who wish to devolve ■
upon others the trouble, annoyance
and uncertainty of tilling the soil with
the labor of the freedmen, should also j
be moderate,.in fixing their rents, —
The prospects for the, agriculturist, as
well as for the merchant, and we may
add, all other avocations of business,
are decidedly bad throughout the
South. Men who, in the face of such
discouraging indications, agree to pay
high rents, are very likely to find them
selves.jit thejeiul of 1567, unable to
comply wMi their promises. Modcr

BREAD Vs. COTTON.
We suppose it .will be conceded on
all sides that food is more necessary
than either raiment or shelter. If this
proposition be denied we can point to
men who haA*c lived to a very old age
without any other shelter than the can
opy of Heaven. And we can also in
stance ay hole tribes of savages, to prove
that men can do witVout clothes. Rtft,
can it be. shown that any One has ever
long existed without food ? Hardly.
It is tire first great necessity of trial]
for food, Avhich is now driving the peo
ple of the South to. abandon the pre
carious effort to raise cotton by the
“free” labor of “freedmen,” and to
devote their lands to grain culture and
stock raising. Whenever bread be
comes a problem with a people, this
problem will be first solved to the ex
clusion of every other, and the people
of the South are but obeying an in
stinct of self-preservation Avhen they
neglect cotton for the cereals. When
the pine logs of a Southern forest ha-vo
furnished a cabin to the, man Avhom
Sherman's torches rendered homeless ;
Avhen a few slicep and a small cotton
patch have given him clothing; when
a cornfield has given hem bread and a
brace of has supplied him with
meat, he Is prepared to laugh to sebrn
the calamities of that storm which
sooner or later will sweep the financial
and commercial Avorld.
Rut hoAv is it with the laboring man
at the North, avlio formerly clothed
himself cheaply with Southern cotton ?
j. lie high price ox the staple lias noAV
almost forbid him the use of it, and
his wages, paid in a depreciated cur
rency, will scarce suffice to feed and
house him. Nor is the future of the
Northern capitalist any brighter than
that of the laborer ; for without cotton,
the baseless paper currency and bonds
of the United States Will rush to an
inevitable doom.
The high price of cotton, if the peo
ple of tne cotton States Avere secure
from famine, and had reliable labor,
would be a sufficient stimulus for its
cultivation. But until the people of
those Statesffeel safe on the bread ques
tion, they are not going to make cotton
beyond their domestic necessities ; and
they arc right. Let U*>se who brought
Avreck and ruin upon the country save
themselA’es if they can ; and if they
rely upon the South to help them out
of their troubles Avitli cotton, they “reck
cn without their host,” There is no
power on earth that can compel the
Southern people to raise cotton rather
than bread, and they Avould bo very
stupid indeed if they furnished the
world Avitli cheap clothing at the risk
of staiwation. x
Let us grin and cnflufc this matter
to its conclusion ; avc are in such a des
perate. condition that nothing can Avorst
us uoav.
EAR LI RISING.
“Early to bed and early to rise,” is
an axiom that lias stood undisputed
the test of ages, and Avho amongst our
readers has not seen the good effects
resulting from this system ? Yet, to
make early rising of any value to the
health, if is required that Ave should
also retire early, for, without tills ac
cluevous, Every person should be al
lowed to “ have his sleep out ,” other-
Avise the duties of the day cannot be
properly performed, and will be neces
sarily slighted, even by the most con
scientious.
To all young persons, to students,
to the sedentary, and to invalids, the
fullest sleiqi that the system will take,
without artificial means, it is the balm
of life—without it there can be no res
toration to health and activity again.
Never wake up the sick or inform, or
young children of a morning—it is bar
barity; let them wake of themselves;
let the care be rather to established
anHiour for retiring so early that their
fullest sleep may be out before sunrise.
Another item of very great impor
tance is, do not huriy up the young
and the weakly. It is no advantage
to pull them cut of bed as soon as their
eyes are open, nor is it best for the stu
dious or even for the well who have
passed an uimsally fatiguing day, to
jump out of bed the moment they wake
up ; let them remain without going to
sleep again until the sense of weari
ness passes from their limbs. Nature
abhors two things, violence and vacu
um. The sun docs not break out at
once into the glare of the meridian.—
The'diurnal flowers unfold themselves
by slow degrees ; nor the fleetest beast,
nor the sprightliest bird, leaps at once
from liis resting place. By all which
wejmean to say, that as no physiologi
cal truth is more demonstrable, than
that-as the brain, and with it the whole
nervous system, is recuperated by
sleep, it is of the first importance to
the well-being of the human system,
that it have its fullest measure of it;
and to that enfl, the habit of retiring
to bed early should lie made impera
tive upon all children. No ordinary
event should be allowed to interfere
with it.
We repeat it, there is neither wis
dom, nor safety, nor health, in early
rising, in itself; but there is all of them
in the persistence of retiring to bed at
an early hour, winter and summer.
Interesting to Railroad Travel
ers.—The following “ rules of the road”
are based upon legal decisions, and
ought to be universally known. The
courts have decided that applicants
for tickets on railroads can be ejected
from the cars if they do not offer the
exact amount of their fare. Conduc
tors are not bound to make change.
All railroad tickets are good until us
ed ; conditions “good for this clay on
ly,” or others admitting time of genu
ineness, are of no account. A Passen
gers who lose their tickets can be
ejected from the cars unless they pur
chase a second one. Passengers are
bonntl to observe decorum in the cars
and are obliged to comply with all
reasonable demands to show their tick-
Standing on the platform or oth
erwise violating the rules of the com
pany, renders a person liable to be
put out of the train. NcfpeTson has
a right to monopolize more seats than
he has paid for and any article left in

ly absent, entitles him to Iris seat on

During the Christmas Holidays
a number of the (we believe about 40)
members of Congress, principally of
the extreme Radical persuasion, made
an excursion from Washington to New
Orleans, and Avere feasted and toasted
in the Southern cities on their route.
Tire ostensible object of the excursion
ists Avas to see and judge for them
selves as to the true condition and
temper of the Southern mind. But
notwithstanding .the kindly spirit Avitli
which the}- Avere everywhere received,
we venture the prediction that they
Avill exhibit not a Avhit less of their
bloodthirsty hatred and revenge to-
Avards the people avlio have entertain
ed them. They belong.to a class avlio
are possessed with a natural and inhe
rent meanness, and ingratitude is one
of the least of their sins. We are glad
they have returned to Washington.
or the information of such
of our readers as may contemplate
moving to Texas, we copy from the
Gonzales (Tex.) Inquirer , the follow
ing communication, which contains
very liberal propositions to emigrants
seeking homes in the far West:
Conzai.es County, Oct. 24, ’66.
Editor Inquirer —ln the latter part
of the past summer, I addressed a enm
munication to the Houston Telegraph,
on the subject .of “Emigration to Tex
as;” the principal object of which was
to present some of the leading advan
tages offered by our State to persons
residing east of the Mississippi, who
might be desirous of casting their for
tunes among us; and I find that an in- j
terest and a desire to move to Texes
has been awahened in the older States
by that article for beyond my expecta-1
tions, and especially in the States of j
South Carolina and Alabama. By eve- j
ry mail I am in receipt of letters from j
parties in those States, some informing !
me that they were already on their way
to Texas, and others making further 1
inquiries in regard to our country, but j
all expressing a determination to come
if they can procure land and houses
among us. One letter informs me that
from the neighborhood of the little vil
lage of Greensville alone, three hun
dred familiys are making ready to
come to Taxes this fall; and from pro- I
sent appearances, I am satisfied there
will be a much greater demand for lands
and houses in this immediate section
of the State than we shall be able to j
supply, unless the planters and land
holders in the surrounding counties
come to our assistance in this patrotic
and benevolent movement. And, that
it is both patriotic and benevolent, no j
one will question, when we give you
assurance that we have no private or
pecuniary interest in the matter what- j
ever, except such as all good citizens j
should feel in seeing Texas settled up
j by the honest and indrustrious people
of the older Southern States, many,
i thousands of whom are holding out
| their hands to us,. and would accept j
Avita eaggpiess an invitation to cast
their. aiflong us. And shall
ve not bfijaheni come ? And, if need
be, shalTwnot help them, and when
they do erne, greet them Avith a gen
erous and ylial welcome?’
! In tUe*'miele alluded to, we made

NOT AMONG THE RELIABLE.
The Wilmington (Del.) Republican
of Monday says:
“Two of our most rcpectable citi
zens were terribly hoaxed by a contra
band a few days since. He formerly
lived near Memphis, Term., and stated
to several gentlemen, privately, that he
had been the .confidential slave of his
master, and that when the Union army
advanced on Memphis, his master,
with his assistance, had buried $45,000
in gold; that he escaped North, and
soon al’tenvarils his master was killed,
and none kneW/the place of the deposit
of the treasure but himself. He appli
ed in vain to seA r cral parties, but at iast
succeeded in getting tAvo of our citizens
to go with him to Memphis, promising
to remunerate them from the treasure.
They accordingly started to Memphis
with the negit), who ate and drank of
the best; in fact, lived like a lord by
the way,- and arriving there, went, in
the night, with the negro to dig for the
treasure in a graveyard. While they
were digging the negro made some ex
cuse to get away from them, and then
making a sudden bolt, left them, with
their spades and shovels, to get atvay
the best Avay they could. The opera
tion cost the parties about $300.”

From oar New York Kegatar I’orrcspondeat.
Southern Hotel, New York,)
December 15th,-18GG. )
I find in the Charleston Daily New.s
the following, which I hope you will
find room to re-publish in full; and
also that, in the interest of sheep hus
bandry, you will urge upon the next
Legislature the passage of an anti-dog
law, such as soule of us, who wished to
go into sheep raising in Whitfield,tried
to get passed some years since, but
failed from the superior influence of
the coon and fox hunters. The best
sheep raising country in the world is
Cherokee Georgia:
Cultivation of Wool in the South.
—The Baltimore Transcript , in refer
irng to the above subject, says the fol
lowing, which we commend to bur read
ers: 14 The increase in the wool of the
United State from 1850 to 1860, was
8,064,38-1 pounds; increase Southern
States 815,164. The Southern States
art: better adapted to sheep husbandry
than any portion of the world, and we
would specially commend this branch
of enterprise to the attention of their
people. The idea entertained by some
Southerners that the South is too warm
for sheep to flourish, is entirely with
out foundation. Sheep have been bred
on the eastern continent from the Equa
tor to the 65th degree north latitude.
The Merino has been bred in Europe,
as far south as between the 39th and
38th parallels of latitude, and as far
north as Sweden. Sheep have flour
ished among the rice swamps of Flor
ida and South Carolina, and are just
as healthy as in the mountainous re
gions. Any part of Maryland or Vir
ginia is admirably adapted for sheep
raising. The whole South has a most
decided advantage over other parts of
the United States for tsfee production
of wool, in soi , climate, and abundance
and variety of grasses. The winter
feeding of the most favored parts of
the North averages 150 days, and costs,
under the most favorable circumstan
ces, 27 cents per pound, whilst in the
Southern States it is not necessary to
feed in winter, except in the. most ex
traordinary circumstances. The South
ern States,'including those west of the
Mississippi river, embrace an area of
four hundred and fifty thousand square
miles, or two hundred and eighty-eight
million squarea eves. The attention to
sheep husbandry need not impair the
cultivation of the great Southern sta
ples. The time has come when the
South should make available every
species of enterprise, and there is none
stances, than*slieep liuiTlaridry.”'
I have italicised a part of the above,
and repeat it, as follows : “ The atten
tion to sheep h usbandry need not impair
the cult tea! ion of the great Southern
staples l wish to call the attention
of the farmers of Whitlield, Murray,
Catoosa, Gordon and the adjoiniijg
counties, first to the fact, that if we
can get rid of the sheep-killing dogs,
a few sheep will, without interfering
with their regular crops, give from 50
to 100 per cent profit, besides furnish
ing a healthier and more nutricioiis
food for their families, and a crop of
wool which, like cotton, is cash + while
wheat, rye, corn, &c-., may be a drug ,
barely paying transportation to mark
et ; 2d, and more important, the cot
ton which I saw sold in the streets of
Dalton, a few weeks since, at 2T cents
per lb., would be classed A No. 1 in
New Orleans, Mobile, or Liverpool. .
By ti.e use of 200 lbs. of guano, or
other concentrated manure, to the
acre, to bring the plant rapidly for
ward in the spring, and a proper rota
tion of crops, we can make in Chero
kee Georgia a bale of 400.1b5. ginned
cotton to the acre, worth from £SO to
SIOO a bale, and of fibre superior to,
and bringing a higher price than, the
cotton raised farther South.
Instead of 800 bales per annum,
Whitfield and Murray counties alone
ought, with the present population, to
send 5000 to GOOO bales of cotton to
market, without detriment to their
grain and other crops.
The practical difficulty in the waj T
of this consummation is, that our small
farmers, who could raise 5 or 10 bales
of cotton without prejudice to their
other crops,'are deterred from plant
ing cotton by the expense of putting
up a gin and press. The practical!
remedy for this difficulty is co-opera
tion, working together and in concert
to make money for and with each oth
er, instead of scheming to make money
ont of each other, ol‘ which in Chero
kee Georgia, as in all new countries,
there has been too much.
We all know in Cherokee Georgia
what a “ travelling thrasher” is. Why
should there not bq a travelling gin
and press ?
Let the farmers of Whitfield and
Murray come together and agree with
each other and whomsoever will agree
to furnish tire travelling gin and press,
that they will put so many acres in
cotton, and pay a reasonable toll for
ginning and pressing.
The farmers will make more money
to the acre than they ever did in any
other crop, and the travelling gin and
press will make five dollars when the
thrasher would make one.
Let the farmers of Whitfield, Mur
ray, Gordon and Catoosa, act upon
this matter at once. Let them come
together and agree what number of
acres each can put in cotton. If they
will do so there will be no difficulty in
finding the gin and press. Moreover
the cotton seed yields a valuable oil,

In that case it would be well to have
connected with the gin and press a

REfiAKIBLE (OYIUTt OF A DOS—HE SAVES
A IPJISE FROM BI'UM&Ci.
A few nights ago the servant of a
lady of this city, left her room in the
basement of'the house and went off* to
church. A coal fire was burning in
the grate, and the servant throwing on
a few lumps before she left, locked the
door and locked in the room a little
terrier dog. in a short time a lump
of burning coal fell from the grate, and
set tire to the floor of the room, burn
ing through the floor and smoldering
some time beneath it. The sagacious
little dog seeming to be aware of the
danger, barked for some time, but fail
ed to arouse the family in the room
above, and commenced making efforts
to £'et out. The windows and doors
being closed, he broke a pane of glass,
actually gnawed through the slats in a
Yenitian blind, and tints effected his
escape, lie ran immediately toward
the church in search of the servant,
found her at the head of the file on her
way home, and barking around her for
a short time, ran suddenly towards
the house, an if anxious to signify to
her that something* was going wrong
there. He returned in a lew minutes,
barked piteously again, and then dash
ed back again to the house. This he
repeated several times, until the girl
reached home, when he ran to the door
and continued to bark until she open
ed it. The girl found the flames burst
ing through the floor, and saw instant
ly the secret of the dog’s anxiety.—
His evident object was to apprise her
of the danger, and sire was brought
home in time to save the property from
destruction. A more remarkable in
stance of canine sagacity we ha#o nev
er known— [_Maysville Bulletin.
TIIE Hum OF A GOOD LUG If.
After all, what a capital, honest, jol
ly, glorious thing a good laugh is !
What a topic! What an exerciser of
evil spirits? What a digester ? What
a febrifuge? Better than a walk be
fore breakfast or nap before dinner.—
How it shuts the mouth of malice and
opens the brow of kindness. Wheth
er it discovers the gums of age or in
fancy, the grinders of folly or the
pearls of .beauty; whether it racks the
side or ‘jMcnns the eoujuAenanee of
* "« r 1111 f"f' 1 vr*
moistens (tTFe eye of refinement—in all
its phases, and all faces controlling,
relaxing, overwhelming, convulsing,
throwing the human countenance into
something approximate to 4 Billy But
ton’s’ transformation under every cir
cumstances and everywhere, a laugh is
a glorious thing. Like a a 4 thing of
beauty,’ it is a joy forever. There is
no remorse in it. It leaves no sting,
except in the sides, and that goes off.
Even a single unparticipated laugh is
a great affair to witness. But it is sel
dom single. It is more infectious than
the scarlet fever. You cannot gravely
contemplate a laugh. If there is one
laugher and one witness, there are
forthwith two laughers, and so on.—
What convulsion is propagated like
sound. What a thing it is when it be
comes an epidemic.
CfiA&ACTEBISTICS OF A TRUE GEXTLEKAX.
In an old manor house in Gloucester
shire, England, may be found the fol
lowing sketch or portrait of a true
gentleman, written, framed, and lmng
over the mantle-piece of a tapestried
sitting-room :
‘‘The true gentleman is God’s ser
vant, the world’s master, and his own
man; virtue is his business, study his
recreation, contentment his rest, and
happiness his reward ; God is his lath
er, the Church isJiis mother, the saints
his brethren, all that need him Lis
friends; devotion his chaplain, charity
his chamberlain, sobriety bis butler,
tem'perance his cook, hospitality his
housekeeper, provitb nee his steward,
charity his treasure, piety Ins mistress
of the house, and discretion his-porter,
to let him in and out most lit. Thus
his whole family is made up of- virtues,
and he is the true master of the house.
He is necessitated to take the world
on his way to heaven; but he walks
through it as fast as he can, and till
his business by the way is to make him
self and others happy. Take him in
two words—a man and a Christian.”
Items Worth Committing to Mem
ory.—A bit of glue dissolved in skim
milk and water will restore old crape.
Half a cranberry bound on a corn will
soon kill it. An ink stand was turned
over upon a white table clofh ; a ser
vant threw over it a mixture ol‘ salt
and pepper plentifully, and all traces
of it disappeared. Picture frame and
glasses are preserved from flics by
painting them with a brush dipped in
to a mixture made by boiling three of
four onions in a pint of water. Bed
bugs are kept away by washing the
crevices with strong salt water, put on
with a brush. Soft soap should be
kept in a dry place in the cellar, and
not be used until three months old.
