A 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, jSaulsbury, Sprague, Wilson, Yates. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

' <—,—. 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, which will more than pay the expense of hauling the seed cotton to a station ary gin and press located in Dalton.— In that case it would be well to have connected with the gin and press a mill to extract the oil from the seed. The cake will be valuable for fatten ing stock. The amount of capital required will be small and the profits large, and the product of the country greatly increas ed. Daltonite. 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.
