Very truly yours, ?tc, (Signed) B. M. BUTLER; To Bev. E. J. MEZNA?DLE. . - , Messrs. Editor?: Tho foregoing communication speaks for itself. I desire, through the medium of your journal, to acknowledge ths receipt of the amount which it enclosed ; and In behalf of those who have suffered during the recent rigorous weather, to thank the gentlemen for their timely contrgratiori: Under, ordinary circumstances, blazoning the charities of th oso who are mmcUul of their solemn obligation to God and His poor, would be highly objectionable. Bat at this time; amid unparal? leled want and distress--affecting more or less every order of society-such free-will offerings in? dicate that tho selfishness to which the wreck of fortune and gloomy forebodings havo driven many, has not entirely destroyed that noble sensibility to the demands of charity which once distinguished our people ;. and, inasmuch as the example might induce others who have'not yet done their duty in thia direction, io "do BO without further delayyl hope to be parioned for tb.? publicity which is hereby given to the matter. . Permit me to beg that v^seiwho .aro .blessed with comfortable homes, cheerful firesides, and the necessaries-in many instances the luxuries of life; would remember tho poor, whom we always have with us. And even those who have bat little to spare, yet much to be thankful for, may place their thank-offering upon the altar-a reasonable service -to. Him who has promised to accept in such language as this : "Inasmuch as ya have done it unto one of the-least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto mc" ,.' Very respectfully, v~ " - - -E. J.

Captain Kandy, of the brig Che buctoo, and that -his first reato had been badly, beaten on East Bay, but that alt'were-aboard now, and there should-'be no mora difficulty. Whilst talking with th? Captain, I hearathe cry dF "Man overboard 1" - Both of us ran to the xjrig and found the-mate and another rt an in the water, both .ot'. whom we succeeded in rescuing. After taking them-on board . and" caring for them,.the Captain sent for a botUe- of brandy and poured oat same in a cup, which ho drank ; he then poured more and offered me, about one-fourth of which I drank.' I then bade bim good night, and started out : of his cabin. .At the head or the ladder leading to the deck I-saw a man standing with, as ? supposed, a knife in one hand ana' a steel for sharpening knives in the other. Aa I advanced he said : "Damn and bugger v our eyes. You tried to. drown two of our men*.a&dnow want to take the rest ot us away, do you?"

[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.] WASHINGTON, January G_"Well, Congress has "returned to its mutton," since the dato of my last, and already begins to indicate that something ls upon tho tapis, out-heroding all their former radi? cal l?gislation, and destined iii some nay to star? tle the country. The idea is evidently io forestall the rising of a new and embarrassing issue, and by extreme measures to put it away altogether. I The issue that threatens is based upon the Con? stitutional Amendment, and it involves the dis? agreeable necessity of Congress declaring definite? ly whether the adoption of that amendment shall be tho nltfahatium to be rewarded in the South by admission to representation, or that there orb more and undetermined penances to be inflicted. It is to deliberate upon this very question that the Republicans have called a caucas in the Represen? tative Chamber to-night. One of tho policies then tb be urged is, that the Reconstruction Committee be privately instructed to report that in the sense of this- Congress no exclu ie" State shall have a color of right to admission tin .as not undorgone a thorough revision of the r> iromental system established by President Joh! a. Before this letter reaches you I suppose the project or impeaching the Executive will be initi ited. At all events, Monday is the day named for iho introduction of tho resolution; and, unleBS tho souncits of to-night's caucus prevail against it, it s certain to transpiro. The primo mover in the premises is a hair-brained Radical from an Ohio lia trie t, named Ashley. He is utterly without ; ;oncep?on of tho shock and nervousness he is tbout to impose upon the people and commerce of ho whole country, and his 2*^1 in the matter is lolely actuated by a d ?ire for notoriety.. He : roasts continually that, on a careful canvass, he inds be ?*<"? pass the resolution in question, but it s barely possible that he^masU^^^- -- , ^^?^^SSs^e into the caucus : ?-night 'deteimtnua to fight the impeachment ; lown, as a project ruinous to their party, and in? expedient under the present nnsettiement of trade. io then, if the telegraph apprises you, bofore the .ecoption of this, that the proposition for impeach nent has carried, you wUT know that that inquisi? tion, destined to be so bootless, was not instituted vi th out a division and demurrer in the Radical ?anks. "Thad. Stevens, it will bo observed, seized the first ivoilablo moment in the resumption of Congress o obtain the floor, and deliver a phillipio against he late decision of the Supreme Court, denying be constitutionality of military commissions in listricts where tho civil tribunals oro in full opera ion. As the decision ..was unanimous, it will ? icarooly be very pleasant for that violent Radical, dr. Chief Justice Chase, to hear from the great ixpounder of his party that be concurred in "a iecision not less infamous than tho Drcd Scott de? rision, and nearly as dangerous to the liberties of be people."- Since the delivery of this speech Ste? vens bas thought better of it^ and he still withholds t from the official publication for revis'.-n, fear ng that its extreme violence may hurt his chances 'or tba Penziojlvnnla Senatorship. For the latter lis Unction he" hos very little show. Cameron, his principal competitor, is spending money like water brough botnhouses of the1 Legislature, and will mdoubtedly carry tho day. Old Thad-Tstarta for harrisburg on Monday, to personally supervise his >wn forces in the approaching election. The President, during these times, is in a very 1 ?mplacent condition, despite the proximity of tho inemy who assail him "at the other end of tho brenne," and the menace of Impeachment, of . rtiich he is fully apprised. An impression that it ' 'squires a two-thirds vote of the House to prefer . articles of imi-eachment, - is very generally- pro va- - ent, but I find, looking afc the Constitution, that , inch is not the case. If tho resolution be offered ' Lt a time when it must take precedence pf the ' ?guiar order of business, it then requires'a two- 1 hirds vote to suspend the rules and admit of its 1 ntroduction ; but a majority of one is sufficient to : ts .passage. Those Radical Congressmen who, in ? itumplng thoir districts last fall, proclaimed with - io much thunder from the stump that Andrew 1 Fohnson would yet be brought as a culprit before ! be bar of the Senate, to answer and defend the ; ncHctment of the lower House, reckoned strangely n ignorance of the law. The Constitution is wholly lilent on this point, about compelling tho presence >f the partyagainst whom trial byimpeaobment is rending. There have never bean but two such liais' in tho history' of tho Government-one in be time bf Jackson's Administration, and the last n the, case of Uni ted States Judge-Humphries, of Tennessee, impeached during theta te war. Nei? ther of these individuals appeared, nor could their todies have been brought into Court. The S?rgeant-at-Arms that summons Andrew Johnson to present himself before the impending Congressional Inquisition, wQl learn of these pre? cedents and privileges with a promptitude that Eannot fail to suggest an immediate withdrawal Crom beneath the Executive roof. With Congress resolved into a Court of Impeachment, the House becomes the Grand Jury, fisiTing the indictment ind conducting the prosecution, tho Senate-acting as the Jury in tho case. In all instances save tho trial of the Executive, the Ylce-Prasident presides over the tribunal, but the latter exception pre? scribes that the. Chief Justice shall occupy that position. Generally, tho House will elect throe members of their own' Judiciary Committee to con? duct the prosecution, and the defence may appear by counsel and witness almost without limit. The trial closed, it tokes two-thirds of the Senators to find a verdict of guilty, each Senator, in responso to tho call of his name,' having to stop forward to tho bar of the Chamber and exclaim, '''guilty" or "not guilty," as the case may be. Witn the party impeached, tho Constitution only prescribes removal' from office and a disability to ever hold place, of trust.or confidence under-"the Government ?gain. And this proceeding, tho Con? stitution ivers, shall not prevent the arraignment of the same party in any court of justice having jurisdiction of the . case on the same charge or series of charges preferred in the indictment upon which he was impeached. The snow and the sleighing with which Washing? ton was gifted on New Year's held on amazingly, until within the last forty-eight hours, when a thaw proved too much for it. There is beginning' to be a faint fucker among the Capital's uppor-ton dom, betokening the initiation of the "gaieties of the season." The regular winter receptions at the: White House will begin within a fortnight, and following in tho same train will come the enter? tainments of his Cabinet Munsters.- It ia probable that to General and Mrs. Grant will belong the fe? licity of opening the season. They have announced a series of three receptions for the winter; the first to be given on the 9th nf the present month. ? Though Geno?al Butler is in town, it is probable that he. wilt escape the receipt of an invitation. About this time last year, and just after the pro? mulgation bf 'General Grant's famous report, in which be characterized Butler as -being "hermeti? cally sealed" with his command at Bermuda- Hun? dred, during some portion -of the last eighteen months of the war, an invitation was sent Butler to attend one of Grant's receptions. The irascible "Beast"* immediately returned a note that he would tolerate no further intercourse with either Grant or his family. ' The latter, in this.year's fes? tivities, trill no doubt concede that favor. - ; .' .- , .-':,..: y ? VIDEX. - Oar New York /Letter, . --.

From a lengthy article in the World, of Satur? day, we make the following synopsis : In 1843, a number of young Jewish mechanics from Bavaria, "educated, who possessed a clear perception in religious matters," felt dissatisfied with the care- I less and mechanical performances of Divine Ber? rico then in vogue, and they resolved to effect a reform. Dr. LUDWIG MEHZBACHEE, of Furth, came to New York about that time, and built np the first congregation, corner of Grand and Clinton streets, organized in 1845. In 1847, the congregation built a synagogue in Christie street: an organ was pro? cured. Tho biennial cycle of the reading ot the Law, the memorial service of departed souls on the day of atonement, and the confirmation of boys and girls, were gradually introduced. In 1848 an elementary school was established. In 1854 a re- | ligious scho..l was. opened, the days of attend? ance being the Sabbath and Sunday. The accom? modations soon becoming inadequate, the syno- I gogue in Christie street was sold, and a commodi? ous church in Twelfth streetxurchosed and chang? ed to a synagogue. The ladies' gallery was now removed ; in its place family pews were con? structed. In 1864. a committee was appointed to revise the old Liturgy, and on Passover, in March, 1865, Divine Berrico was held for the first time ac? cording to the form of the new prayer book. In June, 1865. tho ase of the "scarf," and in Sep? tember following, the celebration of the second days of all Jewish festivals were abolished. Dr. MEBZBACKEB died October 1,1865, and Dr. ADLEE, the present rector, was appointed bis successor. In May. 1865, a law was passed. ordaining the At? ter dance of Divine servie 3 with uncovered beads. The marriage ceremony and funeral service were put into a form suited to the spirit of the age. In December, 1855, they protested against tho dp-! cisi?n of un aasambly of rabbis, who declared that ' the Talmud was the lawful and' binding interpre? tation of the Bible. In I860 they leaned a protest against the endeavors of a number of orthodox congregations, who wished to establish a head or central authority for all America, to give decisions Upon all'mattera concerning Jewish Divine service and religious observances, ' ' ~ ' During the post year this congregation contrib? uted to the assistance of-fche needy Jews in Jeru? salem 31,326, and to the Jewish Orphan Asylum in New York, $17,000. It founded the Emanu-El The? ological Seminary. At Passover, it presented to itd Rabbi $10,000, and six months later $3000 to its Reader. The new Temple, now in course of erec? tion corner of 5th avenue and 43d street,'will cost somo $600,000. - The Bite alone cost $106,750. This synagogue is to be in the Moorish style-, ana pw(bc ably will bo the handsomest house of worship in America. There ara now five congregations that moke nae. of the new liturgy, viz : the reformed Jews in Al- I bony, San Francisco, Buffalo, Jackson, Michigan, 1 and the Portuguese-Reformers in Curacoa, Dutch West Indies. Thero is a great want felt by both orthodox and reformed congregations in this country for English preachers-that is, learned and efficient men who must be able to express themselves with facility and elegance in the En? glish language; and, as these are very difficult to procure, Hebrew colleges are now being establish? ed by both parties in America, for the express par? p?se of educating young men for the ministry. Both branches of Judaism support the Hebrew. institutions of New York. The Jewish" Orphan ." Asvlnm derives annually $40,000, and the Jewish Hospital $10,000 from tne several congregations. - ?.Movements is the direction of reform ore not of recent date. There have been orthodox and hete? rodox in the Jewish fold for centuries, just as these divisions are formed in the adherents of every other creed; but there never has been any broad concert of action in this field. . Every individual congregation has had to work out the problem, for itself. Dr. STUN, in Frankfort, , twenty-five years ago, was quite np to.where the New York Reform? ers are to-day, but. there being no national Jewish ecclesiastical organization anywhere now, these j individual efforts never extend beyond the circle of the nnmediate vicinage" of the actor. . To the I New York congregation, we think, belongs the credit, of haring inaugurated tho reform-move? ment on a larger scale, and on a more thorough and I, systematic basis than was ever; done before,else? where. - ' 1 Immigration lit 188b, . i j; i Tho folio wing article, which presents 'copi?os information on this subject, we abridge from' the New. York-Staate Zeilu?g, the leading German or--i gan in the United States. '-' The number of emigrants who landed in. the [ several ports of the United States during the year of 1866 was about three .hundred thousand. Far' the greater number of these landed in New York. New Orleans and Galveston bad more than their usual proportion. Immigration during tho past year has been greater than at any: period since 1851, "oa wad >S8.. At that tune it.was so large, owing to the famine bx rooland and ito conse? quences, just as the events following tu? <.c,ow. tiona of 1848 and '49 in Germany had led to a large tide-'of emigration from that quarter. Usually the number of Irish emigrants ,to the United States is greater than that of theXJormans. j This year, however, the latter fully equalled the number.-of the former, if they did not transcend it. For the' principal reason of this result we must look to the tata war in Germany, althonghlth?-efforts of the. Southern States to obtain- Gorman labor doubtless had its influence. In all probability the German immigration will be ?till greater in 1867, because there will probably be greater exertions made by many bf these said States, ani.there will be, more? over, a largo number of the people of Saxony, Hanover. Hesse, Nassau, and South Germany, who will resolve' on emigration, because they tike not the new order of things, or because"- they have no expectation of a better future, or of a lasting peace. That this tide Of immigration should bo directed to tba proper channels^-in other words', to provide the most advantageous places for : th? ajriving immigrants-is a task, the successful execution of which is not only for the benefit of the immigrant, but hos ? much greater significance, in so far as it influences Jh o equable development of our na? tional resources. :?. A western paper has seme very sensible remarks, addressed to the laboring classes, in regard to the groat-aad constantly in creasing d?position to live . m large cities. It exhortar tte laborers to avoid this, and to seek employment in the conn try. It has been demonstrated that not lees 'than twenty-five per1 cont, of the immigrants lan/lfng fa New York, endeavor to ifmke that city their home, and only, choose or seek another piaco-oj abode whop compelled by circumstances. Thier would give yew York an . annual increase,; from this source alone, of seventy-five thousand, which, with the natural growth of poptdttfoa, and tho constant additions marta to it from every part of tho Union, is a much greater rate of increase than at all -warranted by the yearly increase and development j -.of the business of the city ; and the necessary .consequence most be that a certain part of -Uns population most be without employment, suffer, want, and not unfrequently fall into vice, and -become guilty of crime. '?' Thia is the case, to* a greater or lesa extent: with all the large cities of the Union. The best means of preventing an undue accumulation of labor ia the largo cities, is for each State or Territory, itt need of such labor, to have a reliable agent in -New York, who should always be kept: Informed of the special -wanto of every town and county he representa, and whose dury it shall be to endeavor to proenre the desired force.
