[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.] A SESn-CEXTENNIAL JOLLIFICATION. WASHINGTON, January SO.-In opening this letter to tho record of current cvonts about the capital, I am charmed to boar witness of a matrimonial episode not two hours old, that attracted to itsolf tho presenco and best wishes of half the upper tendom of Washington. The affair in question was the "Golden Wedding" of Colonel C. K. GARD? NER and lady, who have a scion in General GARO NER, of Confederate fame, and who commanded under the fearful ?torming of Port Hudson. The celebration this evening of tho anniversary of half a century's married life was attended by nearly all tho elite of native Washingtonians, and many of tho bride and groom's friends, who aro but the dwellers of a day. Among the latter were Admi? ral Lee, General Emery, Judgo Wayne of tho Su? preme Court, and the wealthy banter, W. W. Cor? coran. One of the most interesting of the events incident was the presentation of a bouquet to Madame Gardner by tne venerable Frank Blair. The ceremony and compliment of the latter were so peculiarly of the old school-to which Mr. B. must have been one of the earliest pupils-that it imparted n decided piquancy and zest to the en? tertainment. GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL. I have had a long, candid talk with a Radical im Scacher, who enjoined mo to bo discreet as to his isclo.sures; but as this letter goes to a'section of country not at this time holding legislative inter? course with the Congress of which tho gentleman is a component I deem it wiso and discreet to Bay to you what my conscience would reprove me for making public in the immaculately loval districts of the States. Among the earliest things the Ju? diciary Committeo of the House did after the presentation of tbe impeachment project was to summon Ashley, the author of tho resolutions de? manding action in the matter, and put him upon examination as to tho charges and proofs he would and could present and substantiate. That initial st p betrayed tho weakness of the whole plot, and almost discouraged the Committee from further movement. Ashley was without a document or a witness, and, upon keen examination, had no rele? vant charges to offer against tho President, in any way cogent to tho case to be made up. Under this reversal of their hopes and zeal in the promises the Committee have since given their undivided at? tention to hatching up the complicity of Jefferson Davis in the assassination plot, and thc last nail is to be driven into that coffin of judicial trickery and hes so soon as the Committee can nab John Surratt, now hourly expected by the Government to arrive oft* Fortress Monroe Strange that tho very first landing of this fugitive from native soil, should bo upon tho rope of sand to which tho United States Government has provided lodgmont for the very man whom Surratt is to be literally plead with to secure che former's sacrifice upon tho latter's perjured utterances. "THE GREAT COMMONER" COMES TO GRIEF. You have seen by the telegraphic announcement of the recommitment of Thad. Stevana' Bill of Re? construction, that when it comes to the nerve of action upon measures going definitely and specific olly beyond tho pale of average radicalism, tho House, ft natic and bass as it is, falters and re? fuses. There has been no better and fairer test vote of the relative strength of minimum and max im nm radicalism than shown by Friday's contest over and defeat of Stevens' Enabling*Act. Tho recommittal crushed it to earth beyond resurrec? tion. For instance, the House jointure of the Be construction Committee stand evenly divided in the premisos, pro being Messrs. Stevens, Morrill, Boutweli and Blow, and au contraire Bogers, Bingham, Conkhn and Hise. Mr, Blow, however, has been absent ail the session, and will probably not put in an appearance from this timo on to the fourth of March, thus leaving tho opposition in command of tljo field by one majority. Stevens accepts, and is so eompj|tcly resigned to the situ? ation that he privately affirms that he will call no further session of tho Coinmitto?, but patiently await the inauguration of the 40th Congress to en? able him to demand, a reconstruction of the Com? mittee of more pliant stuff. $ need not Bay that, under this late dispensation, "Tho Great Com monor" is neither a lamb in demeanor nor silvery tongued in speech. His party at largo ho de nounces as a pack of knaves, and to the individu? alities of Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, his great rival for the leadership of the Republican side of tho House, together with Mr. Conklin, Senator elect from New York, he beans an invective and intensity of bate that is shuddering to hear, A SPECK OF MUTINY. IN TBE RADICAL CAMP. The "??ou?iern loyai?ts" had a meeting last night-om of their weekly pow-wows over the con? dition of the country iu general, and their own needy, profligate selves in part'>"'j*t/ack Hamil? ton, bf Texas, presided. r^^ppn that en? sued indicates clearly -gBr^ \oyalists ure thoroughly curried away indignation at the Meat of Stevens'Enabling Aut, and like tho author sf that infamous measure, they propose to mako :heir sentiments known among tho recreants of ?he Radical ranks. Tho council concluded before ts adjournment that it would be wiso to bold a invention of loyalists in Washington about tho burth of March next, in order to impress the in :oming Congress to assure that body that here aro a few mon left who aro without their .eward, and standing grievously in need theroof. in conjunction with this provision for exciting tho )enevolence of the 40th Congress, tho meeting ex? cessed itself as quito disgusted with th? inaction md want of nerve of the present body legislative, md declared that outside of Thad. 'Stevens and JontwelL tho House was fuiut-heorted and weak meed. Benj. F. Butler was extolled to tho skies, iud it was moro than hinted that when that rc loubtable pilferer of plate and purloiner of spoons, ?ame to his seat in the Capital next month, some hing would be done that thc nation could regard is decisive and fearless. In fact, the loyalists don't think thoy bavo been veli trent .d. Beyond being sun moued, nuder an Bowance of three dollars per diem, to appear be bre somo Congressional Investigating Committee, ooking into matters throughout tho South, they tuve beon obliged t- put up with a beggarly sub istence the whole season through, while they re? nnin in patient waiting upon unappreciative ?rot hr en in Congress. This deplorable situation s no exaggeration, and has actually come o bo tho by-word cf tho hab?ues of tho :apitaL Not a man of notably s^cdy exterior, and dr of anxious expectancy, is to be aeon iii daily oitering through the corridors or fas teaing upon number B as they poss from one House to the other, hat he ia not immediately designated a "Soutliern Loyalist? and held up for tho facetia of newspaper ?orrespondonfcs and reportera. VIDEX. Our New York Letter. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ] NEW YORE, January 31.-The drawing and dis ribuuon of prizes in the Grand Presentation Fos ival, afc Cooper Instituto, came to a closo yestcr lay, yet the excitement has not entirely subsided, br the great mass of persons who did not draw my thing aro anxious to try their luck (?) again in jome other scheme, in hopes that they may be nore fortunato next time. Each man who held a ;icket which drew a blank has, nevertheless, read ivor a hundred times the list of names of those who hold tho lucky numbers, and can seo no rea? son why, noxt time, h?8 name may not bo found on the roll of honor, suggestivo of a roll of green? backs, or a handmoruc residence in some choice locality. Wherefore the fevor rages high, hun? dreds of new schemes are on tho tapis, and ci; ere is a dolorous-ora dollar-ous-mania for investing in tickets. Old Winter is already on the wane; to-morrow is tho first of February-ono month moro of ice and snow; then comes March, with its disagree? able winds, followed hard upon by balmy April, with its refreshing showers, and soon after tho Summer will be upon us. Those of your readers who contemplate visiting this city in tho approach? ing spring and summer will be pleased to loam that there is a good prospect of their enjoying themselves hero during tho season in muon bet? ter Btyle than herotoforo, for tho improvements that are being made ia the Central Park will ren? der it so much more beautiful and attractive than it was last year, that thousands of persons will ro? main here instead of crowding tho fashionable watering places. Tho city will, therefore, be par? ticularly guy, and tho hotels crowded, as they were wont to be, during tho summer months, in tho days before the wai*. As regards the improvements in Ute Contrai Park, tho work of enclosing it by a cet a? ono wall is well under weigh, ana will bo pithed to as spoedv a completion as possible. Th?' Grund Ter? race is to bo furnished in magnifie cn;; s ty.'? with tho most beautiful Kind of ornaments! hon work, expressly imported from Stockton, Er.giand, whilst the floor will be covered with tiles of different colors. Niches and water fountains will adorn tho interior, and lend to thc whcie a ploasing charm, bringing to mind fairy legends aud storied of en? chanted castles. Tho play-ground to bc erected for the benefit of the little ones will be a pretty lit? tle structure, one hundred and twenty feet in cir? cumference, tastefully separated into'alcoves, and shaded by overhanging vines. Bosidos titi?, a great addition will be made to the Zoological Gar? dens, which will in time contain specimens taken from all parts of the globe. Those and huudrods of othor plans of improvement aro now in pro? gress, ana tho Control Purk, which already sur ?lassos m beauty tho Ilois de Doulognc of tho irench Capital, will pre long eclipso ita former self, and stand a living monument of American enterprise and taste. The public have not been disappointed in the ?tyle hi which Booth has brought out tho "re rived" Merchant of Venice, albeit their expecta? tions had been raised to the highest pitch. Thc scenery and appointments arc magnificent, and Booth's impersonation of the character of Shylock proves to be one of his grandest efforts. The piece will have a long run, and draws crowded houses nightly. A man named Calvert, who broke tho eighth commandmeno several months ago by walking off with forty thousand dollars worth of gold and gold checks belonging to his eniplovcr, has just ..eu caught by the detectives, and will bo compelled to hand ovor whatever small chango ho has left. Verily murder will out, and robbory too. The "social evil" has increased in this city in the past twelve months so alarmingly that it is i proposed, as it ?B impossible to check it entirely, that it would be expedient to regulato it by legis? lativo en ictmont, in a manner similar to the Paris Bystem, wherefore a Bill is now before the General Assembly in tho form of a license law. The pro? prietors of the "social evil" establish mont s held a meo ting last night, and indulged in a warm debate, some of tho speakers favoring the law and others expressing a determination to omploy coun? sel to protest against the legality ot its passage. The ousiness season has been so extraordinarily dull hero, and such a large number of merchants are compelled to live on what they expect to make when trade revives, that it is thought that rents will go down materially next May. Beal estate, however, is hold at high figures, although a great mirabel- of houses are offered for sile. There are, a; icast; twenty-five of the best Fifth Avenue man? sions now offered at pricer ranging from Bixty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars, whilst in the other avenues, and in less aristocratic loca? tione, good houses can bo bought at from twonty to fifty thousand. It seems most surprising how the receipts o.p tho city railroad companies, ovon here m this city of a million inhabitants, can reach such enor? mous figures. The roceipts of the Third avenuo Railroad amount to throe thousand dollars per day, but it is probable that the expenses aro not inconsiderable, as they have seventeen hundred horses. It is said that the wealthy Israelites own i,he largest portion of the stock. * MOULTRIE, State Items. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-A most distressing acci? dent happened in this village on Tuesday last, by which Harvey, a littlo son of our fellow-townsman, P. D. Elliott, will, in all probablity, loso his life. It seems that several little boys were playing with a pistol in the possession of one of them, when it accidentally went off, sending a ball into the head of Mr. Elliott's little son. The boll, though small, entered tho middle of the forehead and penetrated deooly, as tho wound waa probed two inches, or deeper, by Br. McSwain. The little sufferer still lingeringly liveB. The accident has caused much suffering in two families at least, and shows how reprehensible it is to allow little boys the use of firearms and deadly weapons as p]ay things. This practice of carrying pistols, we regret to know, is much too common with the little boys. No good can result from it, and much harm may-much agony and suffering-as iu the above case. We in? dulge the hope that this serious calamity may be sufficient warning of the folly of allowing boys to play with firearms.-Laurengv?e Herald. KILLED.-Wo have learned that a freedman was killed, a few days since, in the neighborhood of Boyd's Mills. We havo not heard the particulars. A jury cf inquest was held upon the dead body, by which all the facts will bo brought ont. Such is our peculiar political situation, that a dozon white men may be killed during the year, and tho pain given soon passes away, except with the kindred, but when a negro happens to lose his life, horrors of garrisons, military courts and ty? rannies, instinctively rush through the mind of the country. Our people have voluntarily given the nogro civil rights-of person and property-the same as a white man, and tho courts are anxious, with tho citizens, to soo tirat he gets the enjoyment of those rights.-Ibid. FIRE.-Oar quiet little village was the scene of bustle and confusion on Tuesday night last, A fire broke out in tho blacksmith shop on the prem? ises of Mr. L. W. Williams, and the building was entirely consumed. It should be mentioned on this occasion, that tho the freedmen worked man? fully, and rendered very material aid in saving other property from destruction. . * [Barnwell Sentinel. Georgia items. ARREST OF BRADLEY.-This inosndiary negro, who has been creating all the trouble among the freedmen lately, and who is said to have given ad? vice to tho mon on the Delta plantation to shoot any ono who attempted to eiect them, was yester? day morning arrested at the corner of Congress and Bull streets by a corporal of tho 16th U. 8. In? fantry and ponveyed to the barracks, where he is at present confined. He is in military custody, where he will await farther proceedings, it is to be hoped such steps will be taken as will'prevent a repetition of his mischievous intermeddling with the freedmen, by which ho has given much trouble both to the military authorities, the Freedmen's Bureau, and tho negroes themselves.

LARGE CARGOES.-Tho Savannah Advertiser Bays tho ship "Ne Plus Ultra" cleared for Liverpool, on Monday, with 42 9 8 bales of cotton, value a at $655,903.14-the largest cargo cleared from that port this season.

GAYLE.-This old citizen of Montgomery, says tho Advertiser of the 26th, died on Sunday hightl A correspondent of the Albany News writes from Newton, Ga., that at least one-third of tho negroes who wero employed in Baker and tho adjoining counties last year have loft, and that many of the planters arc entirely without laborers. Tho Thomasvillo Enterprise statos that large numbers of the freedmen of tho lower part of Thomas county have been persuaded to go tu Eaet Florida and other points, and many farms hereto? fore well cultivated must now bo neglectod or only cultivated in part. THE ATLANTA MEETING.-The mooting of tho citizens on Wednesday, to consider the financial condition of the city, was one of tho largest ever held in Atlanta. The sontimont seemed very gene? ral that tho present Mayor is incompetent and must 1 resign. A number of speeches werf made, all i temperate and finn, and all urging the resignation of the present Board of City Officers. A Commit? tee of ton was appointed to wait on tho Mayor and requost him to resign. The committee was os follows-tho five first having voted for Mayor Wil? liams-the five jost against him; B. J. Cowarfc, Wm. H. Taylor, C. Pitts, John Flynn, John Thomas, J. A. Haydon, J. M. cal? houn, W. W, Clayton, James Ormaud, William Ez zard. Resolutions wero adopted assuring tho public that all indebtedness of tho city will bo promptly paid when duo, and oxprcssivo of tho determina? tion to maintain the credit of the city at every hazard. SAVANNAH FIRE DEPARTMENT.-At an election for Chiof Engineer and Assistant Engineers of tho Savannah Fire Department, held yesterday at tho Exchange long room, between the hours of ll A. M. and 1 o'clock P. M., J. F. Waring, of the Metro? politan Firo Company, was < lectcd Chief Engineer; James A. Barron, of tho Washington, First As? sistant Engineer; Wi D. Dixon, of tho Mechanics, Second Assistant Engineer, subject to approval by the City Council. Wo understand thal tho offi? cers of tho Savannah Fire Company refused to participate in tho election.-Republican. Florida Items, "A TOUCHING SCENE."-A Mr. Watkins, who re? cently came to Tallahassee rrom Jefferson Connty, in this State (and from South Carolina there), died of pneumonia, on Monday, and was buried on Tuesday. It ?B said that his destitution was so great that it extorted tho following passionate ex? clamation from one of three interesting daughters. Just before the coffin lid was fastened on-the lid that would soon curtain forever from earthly view tho belovod lace of a fond and worthy father-one of the daughters, with a tonder emphasis of affec? tion that would have moved a heart of stone, ex? claimed: "My father ! you aro gone now, and so cold ! Didn't we try to kocp you warm, father, when you wore hero ?" Oh I Is there destitution like this so near our doors? Verily, "the poor yo havo always with von." But wo learn that though poor, Mr. Wat? kins was a very worthy man and a church mem? ber. The surviving members of tho church to which ho belongod will surely look after the now, moro than ever, dependont onoa whom sudden death has thus bequeathed to thom. [lallahassee Sentinel. DEATH or MAJOR RICHARD HAYWAHD.-This sad event occurred nt 9 o'clock on Tuesday uight last at his residence in thia city. Major Hayward was identified with the earliest history of Tallahassee. Excepting an absence of five years in Louisiana, ho has resided boro continuously for the last thirty years.

VIRGINIA OFFICE-SEEKING LOYALISTS_A numer? ous delegation of Virginia "loyalists," not ono of whom would, of courso, bo willing to accept an office of any kind, wore in attendance upon Con? gress yesterday, to press tho presentation, through Mr. Maynard, cf Tonnessce, of petitions for the abrogation of tho State Government of the Old Dominion. They aro williug to accopt, instead, cither a military dynasty or a territorial govern? ment, any sort of a government Congress will give them, no that only they, and none others, shall bo recognized as tho people of the Stato. If the Radi? cals m New York or Pennsylvania, or Connecticut or Indiana, should happen to bo defeated in any State election, similar petitions may be expected to be presented by similar delegations from thoso btates, asking to have tho State Governments nul? lified and transferred to their control. [National Intelligencer. PROSPECTS IN ARKANSAS.-Tho Camden, Ark., Eagle, of tho 12th says that town is overrun with negroes. The fact baa drawn tho attention of tho Red and Arkansas River planters, and under a brisk competition the rate of wages has materially advanced. In '"ct it is now so high that many four tuat the upends cannot bo piofltably cultivat? ed. The planters of tho river bottoms may make :i small margin of profit.

Accustomed during the great portion cf my invalid Ufa . to use the different waters of the severe"' fountains which boil up along that remarkaole valley, dependant, indeed, upon them lor much of the comfort I enjoy, I am satis fled that the Excelsior Water ia as well adapted sa any other among them, if not more EO, to the purposes for which they are generally employed. It is very agreeable, strongly impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and" sparkling. * * * I can heartily and conscientiously recommend it to all who need a gentle cathartic and diuretic.
