(concluded from first page.) final disposition of the conquered country belonged to Congress alone, according to every principle of the law of nations. Neither the Executive nor the judiciary had any right to interfere-with it, oxcept Bo-iaras-i-t was necessary to control it by military rule, until tho sovereign power of the nation had provided for its civil administration. No power but Congress has any right to say whether ever or vrhon they should* be admitted to the Union as States, and entitled the privi legss of the Constitution of the United States. And yet Andrew Johnson, with j unblushing hardihood, undertook to rule them by his own power alone; to lead them into full communion with the Union; direct them what governments to erect, and what conclusions to adopt, and send Senators and Representatives to Con? gress according to Iiis instructions. " When admonished by express act of Congress, more than once repeated, he disregarded the. warning, and continued his lawjess usurpation. He is since known to have obstructed the re-establishment of those governments by the authority of Congress, and has advised the inhabitants to resist the legislation ot Congress. In my judg? ment, his conduct was a high handed usurpation ot power, which ought long ago to have brought him to impeachment and trial, and to have removed him from his position of great mischief. He has been lucky in thus escaping through false logic and false law. But his then acts, which will, on trial, be shown to be atro? cious, are open evidence of his wicked de? termination to subvert the laws of his country. I trust that when we come to vote upon this question, we shall remem? ber that, although it is the duty of the President to see that the laws be executed, the sovereign power of the nation rests in Congress, who have been placed around the Executive as muniments to defend his rights, and as watchmen to enforce his obedience to the laws and the Constitu? tion. His oath to obey the Constitution, and our duty to compel hirn to do it, are . a tremendous obligation, heavier than was ever assumed by mortal rulers. We are to protect or to destroy the liberty and happiness of a mighty people, and to take care that they progress in civilization, and defend themselves against every kind of tyranny. As we deal with the first great political malefactor, so will be the result of our efforts to perpetuate the happiness and good government of the human race. The God of our fathers, who inspired them ?with the thought of universal freedom, will hold us responsible for the noble insti? tutions which they projectecLand expected ?s to carry out. This is not to be the temporary triumph of a political party, but is to endure in its conseqence until this wholt"j_ continent shall be fillec with a free, imtr&mmeled people, or shall be a nest of shrinking, cowardly slaves. Before Mr, Stevens commenced his speech, which he did at half-past four, Mr. Bihgbam asked that his time be extended from the half hour, to which all speeches So-day were limited, to an hour; but strong opposition was manifest on the Republican side of the House, members wishing to have the matter brought to a vote at five o'clock. Mr. Bingham moved to suspend the rules to enable him to make the motion*,, but he only got twenty-two votes to sustain him. Mr. Stevens, who had a seat at the Clerk's desk, commenced to read his speech; but, after gottiug through the first sentence, he asked, on account of the weakness of his voice, that his speech might be read by the Clerk. That privi? lege was granted, and the speech was read in clear, distinct, well-emphasized tones, by Mr. McPherson. It was completed at two minutes before five. The House then proceeded, amid great but suppressed excitement, to vote on the lesolution, as follows: Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, Presi? dent of the United States, be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors. The vote resulted?yeas, 126; naye, 47, a strict party vote, only two Republicans voting with the Democrats -against the resolution. Washington, February 25. lathe Honse a bill was introduced for a ship canal around the Falls of Niagara, Stevens and Bingham reported that they had performed the duty of informing the Senate of the impeachment resolu . -tions. $15,000 was appropriated to the Wash? ington poor, disbursable by the Freedracn's Bureau. The new Constitution of Alabama was presented and referred to the Reconstruc- j tion Committee. A resolution was adopted, that report of' impeachment articles be debated one day and voted on without debate or dilatory motions. The Impeachment and Recon? struction Committees are allowed to sit during the sessions. Adjourned. In the Senate, Sumner read the Harvey despatches and explained how they came confidentially into his possession. At noon, the Clerk of the House appeared and announced the passage of the impeach? ment resolutions. The Harvey despatches were loosely discussed, and several parti zan papers sustaining impeachment sent to the Clerk to be read. Hen jected, and ou a vote, the Senate refused to-, hear them. Several members of the House entered and took seats, and after? wards Stevens and Bingham, the Commit? tee, entered. Stevens said: "Mr. President: In obedience to the order of the House of Representatives, we appear before you, and in the name of the House of Representatives, and of all the people of the United States, do im. peach the President of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors in office; and we further iniorm the Senate, that the House of Representatives will, in due time, exhibit particular articles of impeach? ment against him and make good the same; and in their name, we demand that the Senate take order for the appeara of the said Andrew Johnson to anawei said impeachment-." Wade said that the Senate will tate der in the premises, A speeial. cotnmitl consistingof Howard, Trumbull, Wort Koukling, Edmunds, Pomeroy and Jo son, were appointed to examine impea ment and report proceedings.

Below will be found a letter writt some two years ago, to the Rich moi Examiner, by a reporter named Pidd Jt is believed that Piddle was really the condition described in his letter, whi will be found sufficiently diverting. . responso to many inquiries, we reprodu this "very tight paper," a copy of whi< we were fortunato enough to secure d ring our recent visit to the eity so drun enly depicted. /* We knew Piddle. Ile was, in son respects, the most remarkable man on tl brilliant staff of the Examiner. Ho rn; not have had the towering genius of Ha na, tho pure Attic wit of Pollard, or tl fruity humor of Elam, but ho certain had a, capacity for-drinking greater th: all three combined. Poor fellow! U has never been heard from since this, h BigXick*'(m more senses than one) efTor We give, first, the Editor's in trod u tion to tho lotter, and then the letter i self: "Our readers can hardly have forgotle the confused notes ot the reporter of tl Examiner newspaper who was sent I Lynchburg a few days before Christina Th.o tenor of tlios?" notes was., such as t prepare us for a hiatus in his correspoi dence, but we confess we were not pr pared to hear tho melancholy effects < the excessive hospitality which he recen ed at the hands of the good people of th Hill City. From the evidence before ui it appears, that.he remained'in Lynch bur about ten days, during which time he ne< leeted to draw a single sober breath. Bi ho did draw on us for funds, which, in at ticipation of his correspondence, we in mediately forwarded. The result, w foar, was fatal. Ho bought two kegs c lager beer from Shaner, and shipped Ilia self and freight for Bristol. Proceedin as far as Big Lick, he got off, opened hi kegs of beer, and, on the strength of ou money, ordered a ball, which was kept u for three days, after which time he disaj poared, and has never been seen sinet The landlord of tho -hotel at Big Lie sends- a.bill against the Examiner io S56.08, and the following letter, which h says was found, together with, a broke gin bottle and the stump of a lead pencil in the bed last occupied by the unhapp; reporter. We have forwarded thoamoun of the bill by Adam's Express to the land lord, but-we lake occasion hero to sa; that wo shall in luture be responsible fo no more bills contracted in this mannet The name of the deceased was Frederic! A. Piddle. Ho was a native pf Wate: ford, but lived for many years in thi State as a jobber in dry goods. Boco m ing addicted to drink, he took naturally to newspaper lile, and was in tho emploj of the Examiner from the limo of its re establishment in December last. Ho wai about the medium height, his nostril: were of unequal size, and ho wore a. sui of darkish clothes. Should he bc alive we will bo thankful for any informatior which may lead to his arrest, for we art determined to punish the swindler. Hero is his letter as nearly as wo lin vc been able to mako it out, for it is written in an atrociously intoxicated band: , Lynciibuiig, \ Dec. or Jan. the something. \ There are?Lynchburg is?confound this pencil, how it wabbles !

I'm out. Ah ! this pitcher is better than t'other. With to gracious this table would keep still. Lynchburg is pleasantly situated at tho confluence of Tom and Jerry with the toll bridge leading into Amherst, which is on the top of several hills. The. Vir? ginia and Tennessee .Railroad depot is hard by, and is a noble structure, remind? ing the European traveller of the Rialto at Venice, or the Egyptian pyramids. A ereek called the Blackwater flows at tho foot of thc city, (got a mind to call it a village and make ibo people mad,) and from the color of the creek I judge it to bo egg-nogg made of bad eggs. The James river runs under the bridge, and is very water}'. Thc town, from these splendid streams, rises higher than a kite, until it is lost in tho cupola of a Courthouse, which is so elevated that it can hardly be seen with the naked eye, and has an eight day clock in its imposing facade, which enables the people to tell the time of day by tho aid of a twentyfoot telescope. The effect is sublime, and tho Bccnery viewed from tho Piedmont House is the grandest in America. It is like looking np from the bottom of a well, and it is thed-?dest steepest town outside of h?, the high? lands of Scotland and Abyssinia. The chief attractions of the place are Lawson's, Baily's, Hendenrich's and Pe? ter Wren's, grandson of Christopher Wren, the great architect?a multitude of tobacco factories, where the glorious Highlander and the immortal Lone Jack are made. Also, the water-works dam, built in imitation of the Horseshoe Fall at Niagara, by some infernal fool or other. Also, there are some churches, built in the highest style of art, and two newspapers, edited with marked ability, dignity, vigor of research and trenchnncy of etymologi? cal, philological and etcetrological power by Glass, and Button, and Alick McDon? ald, besides a job office of duo propor? tions, power, style and pathos by Schaff? tet", (deuced good fellow,) and another newspaper in the early uterus of coming events by Ned Christian, Old Waddill and Colonel Kobert Withers, which is destined to be a powerful organ of popu? lar sentiment, taste, virtue, faith, hope and charity, if the typo ever comes to hand. Now, if these Lynchburg editors ain't pleased with that, thej1- inay just go to? bed, and dye their toes with bed-bug poi? son, and die there, for I'm beuten having their good will, the}' being the fightenest editors in this country. Boy, tell Peter Wren to send me two more-pitchers-of punch,for it is very fine. Mako it stiff. Now I can go it. The geology of this portion of the Stato is very remarkable. J observed in my rambles (I haven't been outside the town since I came here) some admirable diluvian remains, the principal .of which is a market house", fonnd hero by the first settlers a few centuries ago. The timbers in this edifice, its-elevation above tide water, and the incrustations on the batch? ers' blocks, attest its honry antiquity. The best biblical students are agreed that it is a distinct and lineal relic of Noah's Ark, and it is within easy reach of some of the best drinlcing-houses in town. The hill on which this very interesting and in? structive ruin stands, is called, for some doctrinal or historical reason, J;.ke Knoll. Think I'll step ont now, and see if I can't get a drink somewhere. No; I'll finish this. By Jove! it is raining,snow? ing, and sleeting, at the same time. Here, more punch, quick !

It was suggested the other day by some one that the agricultural interests this year in the Southern States would suffer largely?that the farms were being neglected?and that suffering mnst neces? sarily follow. This was replied to as not at all singular since the Conventions were paying from eight to twelve dollars per day for field hands. ? Beautiful was the reply of a vener? able man to the question whether he was still in the land of living: "No, but I am almost there." Butler and Spoons. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com? mercial writes: An incident worth mentioning occurred in Washington on the second night ot the Dickens readings. Ben. Butler entered after the performance had commenced, and walked down the centre aisle while Dick? ens was describing one of the most inter? esting scenes in his selections from David Copperfield. Perhaps Benjamin was un? avoidably detained, or perhaps he wished to make his appearance at a time when he could attract, that amount of attention which he thinks is due to his eminent abilities and great public services. There arc those who adopt this as one of the ways ol keeping before the people ; some of them never enter the church till the congregation is well seated, and then walk straight to the front pew. If General Butler hadn't his mind's eye on this idea on the occasion referred to, his motives were misunderstood by many, that's all. Well, the hero of Bermuda walked down the aisle the observed of all observers, and took his seat in a very select and ad? vantageous part of the hall. The first se? lection was soon concluded,and Mr. Dick? ens retired at is his wont for ten minutes of rest and refreshment. The rustle and bustle consequent upon a relaxation of at? tention followed. There were whisper? ings among the older folks, and flirtings among the younger, in the midst ot which up rose Butler from his seal, either to ob? serve or to be observed, hard to tell which, though I iucline to the latter belief. There was no mistaking that bald head, or that strabismic eye. It was Benjamin F. But? ler, and nobody else. The intermission, like all things on this earth, had its end, Dickens reappeared and the readings were resumed. This time it was a selection from Pickwick?the famous Bob Sawyer party scene. It was very funny, as we all know, and the laughing was, at times, immoderate. There was a point, howev? er, at which the laugh became very much like a vulgar roar, and it wasn't the fun? niest part of the reading by any moans.? Mr. Dickens felt a little confused, I thought, for a man of his nice perceptions knows there is such a thing possible as a laugh at the expense "of an actor, which is always more vivid than that provoked by the play. Dickens evidently thought he had blundered. But he hadn't. He had simply read the lollowing colloquy be? tween Hopkins and Noddy?and the au? dience had just seen Butler, and every one knew he was present: "I request that you will favor me with your card, sir.'' "I'll do nothing of the kind, sir." "Why not, sir?" "Because you will stick it up over your chimney-piece, and denude your visitors into the talsc belief that a gentleman has been to see you, sir." "Sir, a friend of mine shall wait on you in the morning." "Si?", I am very much obliged to you for the caution, and will leave particular directions with the servant to lock up the sponns." The laugh, Mr. Diekens, winch so ex reeded all bounds as to perplex you, was due solely to a connection in the popular mind between General Butler and spoons! ?- -.-? ? Josh Billings snys he believes in the final salvation of men ; but he wants the privilege of picking the men. ALBION PREMIUMS FOR 1868. Charles Dickens' Works Complete.
