POLLY W. HUNTER, k Administratrix. Sept JO 34 If From Wa*til?gtoii. rhc President's policy?lie will not yield to Congress in any event?Puller's pro eraniiuc?Congress to arrange lor the earlier meeting of the Fortieth Congress ?The Elections, etc., etc. Washington, October 10. It has been rumored that the President in a reply to an invitation to attend a dinner, given in compliment to (5en. Wind, lias indicated the future policy of his a<l ministration, llis letter will be regarded with interest. What the 1'resident Ins lone, so far, we well know, and we km w hat he has taken a linn position upon his )wn policy o! restoration. \\ hat he wi?l lo in the luture, in certain contingencies, is a subject of much speculation. Heretoore he has expected such a change of icntiiuont on the part of tl e people, as would lead to an adoption by Congress of lie nnliAir Unt i 1 !?.? m . j/ui, ii r.\ j'v umii 'ii ir* ur crly groundless, the question arises whetli :r he will change his practice. If Con (less will not go with hiui, will he go with Congress? Probably not. 'I he President now well knows what vill be the tactics of Congress. The time s close by for the openiii?_j of* the spssiou. n a few weeks the President is to be itn leached. At tjie la t session the Radical eaders took care to pledge the party to a toursc hostile to the President's policy, at i caucus on the Saturday night prior to he opening of the session, so as to antiei ate any thing which the President might iroposc in his message. The same thing vill be done next December. The caucus vill arrange the impeachment, and any ncuibcr not adhering to the eaueus decree vill be put under the ban of the party. (leneral lJutler's speech at Cincinnati, vas, in tact, intended to present the great taJical issue to wit : The impeachment md removal of Andrew Johnson, and the ubstitutioii for him of the President /?/ ?< )ii of the Senate, probably Senator Wade. ?f Ohio. I pon this issue. Ohio, Pcnusyl aiiia and other Slates have already dedared their position. They decide to auction Putter's programme, which lie ius stated with so much particularity. Ho s himself, probably, to be the leader of the 'ongress army against the President's a>i)y, in ease the President should resist the usurpation of Coogr. ss. lie proposes him elf fur that position. He also lays down lis own law fur the trial ol impeachments, ltd prescribes rules for the conduct of tin senate, as the high Court ol Iiupeachm lit. fhe Senate with twenty six States lepr etited, will, by a liaro in ijoritv ol vote wenty-seven?order lliat Pnsidciit John on, as soon as the artieles of iuipcacliim lit ire presented, be arrested and imprisoned it the old Capital or Fortress Monroe, ami lis functions are at end. But Johnson, mys Butler, m?y resist that course. In hat case Butler will be on hand with an iriny ol lludioals, collected from the mass if the people, by which the regular forces >1 the army and navy are to he routed and i lisj ersod. From this, by the way, Ben j llutler is to be the next President. The Senate may not proceed with the j rial inexact accordance with tlen. Butler's [ murrain inc. Chase, Peak and Pickering, n # ? r? . hey will merely summons the party im icached, and proceed to examine the ease, wiring council and evidence. Thcv do i mt, as (ien. Butler supposes, assume that he party is guilty, belbre evidence ol the act is affirmed. The idea is very prevalent that sonic i toin mot ion will arise here early in the approaching session, lor if Congress cannot i ntimidate the President, they will attempt ;o remove hi in. Jt is thought that Congress, at the coiling session, will provide by law, tor an rarlier meeting than usual oi the fortieth Congress. They will do this in anticipation of some trouble that may arise from their own high-handed measures. It was sufficiently well known at the President's house and at the club rooms last night, that the Radicals had tl eir own way in the elections yesterday in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa and Indiana. It is a forerunner of the result ol the November elections. The Radicals are perfectly intoxicated with success. The city election in Balti mum, which occuis lo uay, lias not, so lar, been attended with tlie violence which was apprehended.

They set out hy the usual route, and slept as is the custom, at a hut whiei. has been erected on the tiiaudc Mulcts, a , | stupendous ridge ol rock that shoots up ' 11,11". hi feet above the sea, about the imddh ol the ttnuicnsesnow field which forms tinside ol' Mont IMano towards Chamoutiv. Of course their progress in xt rooming was watched with the intensest anxiety, from the vilhuc. Kvcryho ly who had read Al hcrt Smith's uuiiiMiig '"Story ol Mont Hlane' knows what an cxciteiiictit an ascent produces in the whole community IIvery gh.ss is fixed, every guide watches ; even women and children run into the streets to gather the latest reports of the i adventure. The three Kiiglishmen set oil from the (irande Mulcts very early in the morning, as is usual, and at out lU o'clock the cry was heard. "They have gained (lie j summit." Certainly, there they went, on 1 the loftiest line, l.*?,7 41 feet high, seeming, | even through the be-t glasses, like mere j ants, crawling upon the louuded cone of a 1 most prodigious sugar loaf. After a while they began to descend, j and as dccending tee is often more dilli- I on t than ascending it, their movements w; re still followed by the siiue eager so? t iieitude. "llrave fellows," said an old guide, "how cautiously yet firmly they conic down." A genetal smile of appro- 1 val followed his words.
