Gold was quoted in New York yesterday at 1S6.J, and cotton at 33@33.i. General SLOCUM is to be Naval Officer at New York. * Prince ALFRED, Duke of Edinburg, is in his 23d year, and has a pension cf $75,000. A man has offered Opera HOUB? Lee $500 for the "long-tailed night shirt" he wore when he got the news. We doubt the truth of this nightshirt tale. AsTEiruj WARD is under the professioual caro of Mrs. Dr. MABV WALKER, in London. A very nice brace of hnmbugs. We wonder what Betsey Jane will say? A compositor in Kokoino, Indiana, is said to have had a sore finger from which, after suffering great pain, he squeezed two brevier types. A co temporary advises bim to squeeze again and get the rest of the font, and a double-cylinder press. The San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press bas just come out in new type from the first font ever cast on the Pacific coast. The Press is ably conducted and of great value to all interested in mining operations in that section. The United States Government appropriated, in 1856, a tract of land in Washington Territory, for wax purposes, which one GEOBQE W. JOHNSON claims as his, and wanta Uncle Sam to pay $2,000, 000 for. BEN. BUTLEB is helping GEOBGE in his efforts to get it. The celebrated article in the London Saturday Review, on the impeachment of President JOHN? SON, which appeared in that paper on January 19th, was written by Hon. J. P. BENJAMIN, late Confederate Secretary of State. A picture in a late number of Punch represents ' a fashionable and affectionate couple, the husband ? searching vigorously in his waistcoat pockets. The young wife mqmres, "Have you lost your, watch, love ?" and he replies, "No, darling, 'twas a' new bonnet I had for you somewhere," Gen. ROBERT E. LEE, the Baltimore Gazette says, is not engaged in writing a history of the Army of Northern Virginia, or of any work connected with the late war. A rather cruel bairne h%?i taken place near Victo? ria, Australia, by which the enormous number of 8000 kangaroos were slaughtered in one day. This looks like a disposition towards the extermination of this singular animal. Another proof of tho pro? gress of what is called civilization.. Ber. W. J. BUTLEB, formerly of Trinity College, Cambridge, has been elected Bishop of Natal, in place of COLENSO, who is on the ground, and pre? pared to make - it extremely lively for hi-u in case he goes out. He has agreed to take the advice of the Archbishop of Canterbury and che Bishop of Oxford about accepting. The Loni ?ville Journal says : "Mr. JEROME, the New York Journals announce, has founded.at Princeton College a prize for the first gentleman. The foundation is five thousand dollars. Every public-spirited citizen, who has read the proceed? ings in Congress on Thursday last, and has five thousand dollars to. spare, must feel strongly tempted by Mr. JEROME'S example.' Reliable statistical authority says that tho Epis? copal Church in tho United States have 2306 par? ishes, over which and in which 2580 clergymen of various rank preside and -work. The total mem? bership of the church, young and old, is 161,225, from which the liberal sum of $3,911,667 was drawn by divers charitable enterprises during the past year. The case of the State of Louisiana vs. the Lou? isiana State Bink, was commenced in New Orleans on'the 6th. The suit is for the recovery of nearly $1,000,000 claim?d as remaining to the credit of the State on bond of the bank, which was a fiscal agent during the Confederacy. The State alleges that, by permission of Generals BUTLEB and 'SHEPLEY, 11,000 bales of cotton were purchased and brought to the city, and sold for the benefit of the bank and State. ? ' GEOBGE PEABODY has been in Washington for some days past. His object is said to be to organ? ize and perfect a plan for disbnioing a larger en . dowment than any he has yet bestowed, and he is in consultation with the leading men of the coun? try as to the means to be employed in furtherance of his plans. His purpose is to effect, as far as in his power, education in the Southern States by es? tablishing schools, endowing colleges, &c. No definite course of action bas yet been decided upon. Efforts are being made by the authorities to put a stop ts the semi-sla>e trade which has for some time been carried on in Hes^e-Darmstadt and Nas? sau. Children of both sexes are purchased or hired from their parants and guardians. The boys are exported to the principal European cities, where they are employed in begging, playing tho hurdy-gurdy, and- selling common objects. The grown-up girls are brought to this country, and dance at the low saloons. '' "\ ~ The Albany Argus of tho 1st has the following : "The Managers of. tho National Telegraph Com? pany, incorporated under the act of Congress, have opened a subscription in this city. Syracuse .-? has contributed about $200,000. The Managers allot to the Pacific States one. .million, to Ohio the same amount, to Missouri, Indiana, AV., $700,000 each.' They expect to establish their lines for $3,500,000, though their capital is $10,000,000. The enterprise is in tho bands of vigoro ns men. A London paper says: "Newest among what Mr. ' TENNYSON calls the- fuiry gifts of science/ we no? tice an invention of Mr. HTETT-CO make trees im? bibe color while growing* The results exhibited lately at a cmvetiasione of the. Cireucester Royal Agricultural College, in tho form of beautiful sec? tions and panchettes of wood, stained with various hues. Metallic eal ta aro introduced into tho sub? stance of the growing substance of the tree, appar? ently carried up" by the- sap, and forced into the fibre and coils of the stem." It is stated that Dr. BURLEIGH, delegate from Dakota, has organized a party to take a trip out through Dakota, to start on Juno 1st. The party is to consist of Senators WADE, PATTERSON, of New Hampshire, CHANDLER, HOWARD, YATES, MOR itTT.Tj of Mainersnd POLAND; Representatives WIL? LIAMS, COY ODE and BLNGHAM; Hon. E. MCPHERSON and Chief Justice. CAETTER. They will set out from Yankbnand go down Bed river to the British pos? sessions, then along the line of the projected Paci? fic railroad to'Yellowstone river, and then return down the river. They are to have a military escort, i.ad Indians to supply them with subsistence, and will be gone about three months. The London Tones of January 22 says that twenty thousand dock laborers in England have not earneda shilling for* two: month?< ??d adds: "A gentleman residing nj the West India road states that he had visited many of the working people at their houses in that neighborhood, and that the distress ?.among: the mechanics and laborers is appalling. Many of them, he says, are quite dis? heartened, sitting within bare walls, with neither bed nordothing, and with their children almost naked rjcA famishing. Strong young men had burst into tears on seeing him enter, and pointed to their starving wives and children in silent despair." In Detroit, a new motive power for starting street carshas been invented. It is thus described: A wheel is firmly attached to the centre of an axle. On this a "dog" impinges the moment an attach? ment intended to draw the car is acted upon. This so rapidly assists in moving the wheels, that the moment they are started the leverage is re? moved, bu.. " mediately on stopping it'returns to ita original position, and is ready for tho next start. This attachment and fulcrum aro insepar? ably connected, and must act conjointly, its sim? plicity is a principal featuro, and cannot fail in one respect to commend itself. At the anti-slavery subscription anniversary in Boston the other night, WENDELL PHILLIPS came npon the platform with a curious looking weapon in his hand, which, he said, in commencing, WUB a veritable relic of the battle of Port Wagner. It ?was a pike of the JOHN BROWN pattern, with which the Confederates in that redoubt were partially armed, or had on hand for a close emergency, ?when it was stormed by the Fifty-fifth Massachu? setts Regiment. Ho carno upon the platform, he said, in the character of an auctioneer. He had twonty-fivo of these weapons to sell to the highest bidder. The result was that several were sold at $10. ?o any of our readers know anything about these JOHN: BBOWN pikes that are alleged to have Ireen used by the Confederates at Battery Wagner? Or is this a mere pious fraud?] I LARGEST CIRCULATION - The DAILY NEWS publishes thc Official List of Let? ters remaining in the Postoffice at the end of each week, agreeably to the following section of thc Kew Postofficc Laic, as the ncecsjmper having thc largest circulation in thc City of Charleston : SECTIONS.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Recon? struction, at the close of last session, brought in a report, recommending the passage of an amend? ment to tho Constitution of the United States. This amendment has since beon submitted to the several Legislatures of the Southern Statos, and was almost unanimosly rejected by every one of them. To punish these States for their obduracy, the samo Conunittoo in Congress, witliin the last few days, havo reported favorably upon a Bill in? troduced by Senator WILLIAMS, of Oregon, tho main outlines of which wo published about two weeks ago in om- telegraphic columns, and the full text of which we gave in our issue of yester? day. H this Bill bocomos a law, and is not vetoed by tho Executive, or set aside by the Judiciary,, wo shall bo brought to tasto the bitterness of a despotism equal to tho worst f jims of Asiatic rule recorded in liistory. State Unes aro to bo abro? gated, our municipal and State Governments over? thrown, our Stato Constitution and laws will be powerless to afford us any protection, even the Constitu+ion of the United Statos will be no bar? rier to the exercise of this tyranny. It is distinct ly and professedly set aside. Tho privilege of habeas corpus is to bo suspended; civil rights, which arc claimed for the meanest, the most ab? ject dwellers of the land, are to bo deliberately and studiously denied to rallions of intelligent, peace? able men, who, themselves and their ancestors,' have for ages been in the full and f.oo exercise of all the privileges of enlightened citizenship, All this is done to subserve tho wicked selfishness of party purposes. Tho old adage, "The voice of the people is tho supreme law," will-have to be changed. Vox salrapea suprema lex will be tho futuro reading. j Events are rapidly culminating to a crisis. Con? gress,-certainly the moro Radical part of it, seems bent on ono or unothcr of these destructive plans of Reconstruction; yet theso projects, they know, can never bo executed as long as ANDREW JOHNSON remains President. Indeed, Mr. JOHN? SON, at the White House acts as a check on all kindred meaaures; for although Congress over? rides his vetoes, and bas restricted his power, and hampered the exorcise of his prerogative in every conceivable form and shape; still it is found that his mere presence "at tho other ond of the Ave? nue," locks the wheels of Radical legislation. Overruling the Presidential veto is not a finality, it still loaves room for objections on constitutional grounds from the Supreme Court. This tribunal cannot bo abolished. It is found necessary to re? organize it, and thus change its political com? plexion. ThiB, however, cannot be done aa long as JOHNSON is President. . Tho one great .task then before tho extreme fac tionista is the impeachment and removal of the President. This, it is folt, must bo compassed at any cost. .No stono is left untnrcod to dragoon the party up to a state of pohtical frenzy, reckless of all consequences. A whole army pf scribblers and stump agitators are retained to familiarize tho masse8with theso revolutionary tactics. An or? ganization is said to exist under the name of the Grand Army - of the Union, 500,000 strong, the special purpose-of which it is to be at hand in case they shall be needed to carry the impeachment. FORNEX'S papers aro recognized as the official organs that set the tuno, and from them thc smaller fry take up the cry. The respectable Re? publican journals, thoso which have heretofore been considered as tho organs of tho party, with singular unanimity condemn the whole plan and proceeding. But on the other hand, to compen? sate for this defection on the part of tho faithful, a comp?tent corps of mercenaries has been enlisted, at the head of which stands the New York Herald. For nearly two months past this sheet almost daily has had ono or two editorial articles, demanding, with earnest solicitude, the impoachment and re? moval of tho President. Coupled with thia de? mand, says the Boston Posl, in a very thoughtful leader on this subject, andas if to covortho tracks of the (inspirators, it sweepingly proceeds to show how CongrosB can declare three-fourths of the States; represented to be competent to adopt an amendment to tho Constitution; how it may pass a law deposing tho Executive while his trial is pro? ceeding; how Gou. GRANT, or some moro ductile General, may be set in his chair until a new elec? tion Bhall be ordered, or Congress shall choose to make a President of its own; how tho Supreme Court may be abolished by legislation and some? thing-created in its place to register the od?ete' of Congress instead of reviewing and deciding upon its laws; and how everything will procoed without a ruffle or a jar; tho deposition of the President and the arbitrary appointment of another bo effect? ed without shaking popular coiifidenco or under? mining tho foundations of public credit; the Su? preme Court be abobshed by a co-ordinate branch of tho Governmont with no danger whatever to the steady working of our syBlem; and the majority in Congrosa usurp all the functions of Government in the name of tho people, though undeniably to the popular wrong and the downfall of tho wise and equitable government set up by tho Fathers. There is more "method'" in tliis madness of the Herald L".?n instantly suggests itself. It is in the strict line bf its dnty, which has always boon that of its interest. The singlo principle which has in? spired the conduct of that paper from tho begin? ning of its existence has been, apparently, eome thing very like black-mail. It alternately aided with tho Democrats and ,tho Whigs, employing abuso when Artery failed, and always holding ont its right luv id and its left that so it might at least catch-soJitelhing. Its editor made a good part of his hying off actors and actresses, singera and mu? sicians, by making them fear the effects of his journalistic frown. Thoso who p lid then* dollars into its gaping treasury, did so rather to silence its denunciations than because they believed ita iiigh est terms of praise and nattery wore of any real service to them. Tho Herald has tho most bf. its days been considered a black mail sheet, and at tho unmistakable closo of its ca? reer is proving itself truo to the rule which has been its reputed_puide from tho begin? ning. Just beforo the war, no paper in tho coun? try so roundly abused Abolitionists and Repub? licans; now the war is ended, it out-radicals Radicalism itsolf in its bold assault on two of the departments of the Government, and in its base? less declarations that tho majority of a fraction of Congress compose tho pormancnt and responsible authority of the nation. When thc proposition for impeachment was first presented in Congross, no paper was moro violent in its denunciations of tho proceeding, or drew more vivid pictures of tho dis? astrous consequoncos of such a measure to tho business of the country and its political welfare; now, none so vehement in advocating thc Ashley Boutwell-Butler crusade. It would bo travelling wido of thc rulo to sup? pose that tho motives of this sheet wero not, as usual, mercenary in tho present case. The reck? less perseverance manifested, where common pru? dence requires of tho public journalist an exem? plary degree of discretion in discussing a matter of such moment, leaves little to be suspected in the cuso of a paper of such notorious antecedente. Whero cvorything liko principio is become abhor? rent / vouai, fanaticism ia sure of finding an ally by simply complying with its terms. These are its favorite instruments, too, because, when tho obligations are mutually cancelled, each side is free to treat thc other as if thero had existed no temporary relationship. Such a prostitution of the responsible office of a public journal is, ata critical juncture like this, au unpardonable affront to the patriotism ol" all in? telligent men, and a disgrace to the party guilty of it. There can bc but few who approve a course so fraught with public peril. Tho deliberate impeach? ment of tho President of thc United States seems to call for different treatment by the whole press of the country from that which parry passion and a paid advocacy suggest. It is a mo.it serious ex? periment to try, whatever such a journal as thc New York Herald professes to tuhtk about it. Pur? sued for selfish ends aloue, as is mm- proposed, it threatens to culminate in disaster not less wide than a convulsion of all the elements of our repub? lican system; involving the final overthrow of con? stitutional freedom. A writer in the New York Times, a Black Repub? lican, signing himself "A Veteran Observer," gives some Yory cogent reasons, why tho President should not bo impeached. These, though con? ceived from different points of view, aro, many of them, almost identical with the objections pointed out to such a course in a recant number of the London Sa.vrday Review. Thc writer in the Times holds, 1. That an impeachment of the President is per se a disgrace upon tho country. 2. Tue im? peachment must morally fail, not upon the tech? nical or Constitutional grounds, but bocause tho in? tent is the offence of every crime; and tho utmost that can with truth bo charged upon President JOHNSON is that he actod upon a mistaken policy. 3. An impeachment will be disastrous to American influence over tho European mind. 4. Tho "Vete? ran Observer" thinks that an impeachment will re? sult in putting thc Democratic party into power, while he believes that the success of tho Govern? ment in thc future depends on tho present s access of tho Union party. "Wc can afford," he says, "to let Mr. JOHNSON-now practically . powerless linger ont tho short period of his official power; but c cannot afford to do doubtful actB which con con i ino national character at homo and abroad. "We cannot afford to let even rebels indict us before rlie woi-ld for factious act3 and malignant mo? tives." WANTS, ~ WANTED, A SITUATION AS WET NURSE, by a respectable white woman.
