But just at that moment, another negro secreted near by, cried out to him, "don't shoot, there are several wagons coming," when they both made oft-Atlanta Opin? ion. The new machine for dredging the river is pro? gressing satisfactorily and rapidly with its impor? tant and necessary work. Under ordinary circum? stances, this f~cu would scarcely . deserve more than a casus' allusion, but in view of the immense responsibility attached to tho successful accom? plishment or ita undertaking, we certainly have reason to congratulate oar mercantile community and citizens generally upon the initiation of this most vital labor of deepening the channel.'

WASHTNOTON, March 27. STANTON AND THE PRSSEDENT Are st loggerheads, and the former n-ill certainly ho removed if Congross retires from the field un? til noxt December, so as to do away with the neces? sity of looking to an immediate confirmation of the War Minister's successor. Yesterday, when the adjournment question was running high ir- tb?? Senate, who should stalk into that Chamber but the burley form of STANTON. The latter has como to understand tho imminence of his removal, and relies solely upon obtaining from Congress tho passago of a resolution of con? ditional adjournment, to save him from such ig-., nommons retirement. It was easy to note, even from the Senate gallery yesterday, how zealously he had entered upon the work of circumventing the Administration in the determination to remove him. While the debate upon the adjournment was warmest, the wily old Minister moved froiritlic car of one Senator to that of. another, until the whole Radical round was completed, begging that he might not be left alone to face the Presidential wrath. A subsequent vote upon the proposition in- ? dicates that the councils of STANTON had hut little effect upon the desire of the Senate to go home without looking to a reconvocation before tho al? lotted time in December next. But in the House he fared better, and that body are -likely to hold stubbornly out against any proposition that does net look to reassembling upon proclamation of the presiding officer in each House, at least, twice between now and next fall. STANTON discovers that notwithstanding the potency of the Tenure of Office Bill, that act docs not prevent the Executive from removing a mem? ber of the Cabinet, not appointed by him, and heneo his alarm. While "the rump" stands by to veto the nomination of his successor, the Secretary feels tolerably secure, hut with that stay gone, ivray goes the incumbent, and "none so poor as to io him reverence." THE RADICAL CRTJ8ADE IN TEE SOUTH. You will have noted that a republican caucus bas lately decided to assess the radical treasury, the sum of ten thousand dollars for furnishing campaign documents, to the benighted heathen of the un eons troctcd States. It may bo equally cheer? ing for your readers to learn that WILSON, the im? maculate Senator from tho upper country of Mas? sachusetts, is firm in the faith, that tho South, with proper missionary service, upon tho part of zealous rads, may be oonvcrted to the Congressional creed, and become henceforth a field of swelling harvests in the interest of "the great idea." To bo consis? tent with this understanding of the situation, WrsSQN.proposes 'to' organizo -upon the' adjeurc roenfrurS3Sr>gtcsV^? ? caa oratora for the i^rB?alo?s work above indica? ted.

TjABTTiANP TO BS REOONSTBDOTEDT . j ' The Radicals are detcrramol that Maryland shall he stirred to erich wrathful commotions of the populace as will necessitate the intervention of Uni ted States troops to preservo public order, ano so give Congress the excuse-long coveted-of de-' daring the commonwealth under martial rule, and susceptible of .civil restoration only upon euch terms as are indicated to your disloyal selves. To do this, a few hundred Radical adventurers in the State, mainly in Baltimore, propose to seize upon the call for a pending Constitutional Convention as a pretext for precipitating riot and general hub? bub at every available point, until the interposi? tion of the General Government carries the object they desire, viz : The reduction of the State gov? ernment, and transfer of its control to the military district which it adjoins. Prominent in this move is JNO. A. J. CREMWKI,T., Ex-Senator from the State. But the sohome will fail signally in con-- : suraationT^?iough it is probable that 'the Radic?is may provoke the spilling of blood, and consider? able popular commotion between now and the next succeeding sixty days. Gov. BOND, however, bas the conspiracy well is hand, and instead of aftrightingly calling upon Washington for bayonets to quell the tumult, will' promtly call out a posse comUalus strong enough to sweep the insurgents from the field, J t is in this that the Bidicals have falsely reckoned, by reason of too long a trust in forces foreign to the State. Gov. BOND has weighed andU-?fted the conspiracy from its inception, and will deal with it unsparing? ly. It will be remembered that despite the extra? ordinary endeavors used last fall to quash bis mu? nicipal appointments of Police Commissioners of Baltimore, and tho subsidization of certain officers of the local courts to adverse and unwarrantable ruling in the premises, the Governor came out of the embroglio with flying oolors. The fight is to be upon a larger scale this tune, but the result will be the same beyond a peradventure. VIDEX. CONGRESS, WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE.-Mr. Howard presented and asked for the reference to the Committee on the Judie arv of a statement of the Bank of Commerce of New York to the effect that in December, I860, Mr. Thomas, Senator elect from Maryland, had, as Secietary of the Treasury, withdrawn ihe funds which were to be applied to the payment of the in? terest on United States bonds, ?or the purpose of dishonoring the national credit.' A joint resolution was passed transferring fifty thousand dollars from the Freedmen's Bureau to be used by the Commissioners of Agriculture to purchase seeds for distribution in the Southern States. A bill was passed providing for the removal and re-location of certain Indian tribes. A Bill was passed authorizing the settlement of the accounts of line officers who were unable to make their regular monthly reports on account of being held as prisoners of war. The Bill supply? ing deficiencies in the appropriation for the con? tingent expenses of the Senate for the current fis? cal year, as amended by the House, was taken up and a number of amendments were adopted. Among them was one appropriating fifty-one thou? sand dollars for the expenses of indian tribes visit? ing Washington. The bill was then passed. The Committee on the Judiciary made a report in relation to the testimony in relation to alleged frauds in the New York Custom House, trans? mitted by the House, as implicating Senators Doo? little and Patterson. The report of the Commit? tee fully exonerates those Senators. A minority report was submitted, which also exonerates the above named gentlemen, but gives a statement to prove intentional fraud on tie part of Collector Smythe. The report of the Committee was adopt? ed. A' motion was then made to print the testi? mony taken before the Judiciary: Committee. Pending its consideration the Senate went into executive session, and at its close adjourned. HOUSE OF REPR?SENTATIVES.-The Senate bib to charter the lincoln Monument Associa.ion of the City of Washington was taken from the 8poakor'o table and passed. The Speaker was authorized to reappoint the select committee on Southern rail? roads, with power to sit during the recess. The Committee on the Judiciary reported back the House bill relative to the claims of oortain North? ern creditors of Southern banks and firms, and recommended concurrence in the Senate amend? ments. After considerable discussion the bul and amendments were laid on the table. Tho resolution of tho Senate in relation to ad? journment was then taken np. An amendment was offered by Mr. Sch on ck, of Ohio, providing for an adjournment to-day until the first Wednesday in June, and the first wednesday in September of the present year, unless thu President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House shall, by feint proclamation, declaro that, ther? ia no occa? sion for the meeting of Congress at the times specified, He then nxado a long speech in favor of impeaching the President and in relation to affairs in Maryland. He said that - Congress should sot adjourn until something was done in regard io Maryland. If sot, he believed the scenes of blood? shed in New Orleans would be repeated before the noxt meeting of Congress. A letter from Judge Bond to Col Forney, setting forth the "difficulties surrounding Union mon in Maryland," and asking the interference of Con? gress, was read. After some additional discussion the resolution was adopted-yeas 74, nays 61. The House passed a joint resolution declaring the pro? posed consolidation of the British North American provinces to be contrary to the declared principles of this Government, and also a resolution express? ing the sympathies of this Government with the people of Ireland and Candia in all the jost efforts they are making to secure the independence of their countries. , A resolution was adopted declaring it to bo the sense of the House that Henry A. Smythe . should be removed from the office pf Collecter of the Port of New York, and that a copy of this resolu? tion and of the testimony in the caso should be sent to the President. A joint resolution was passed ordering that the words 'Unmixed with silk" be e.ricken oat tho paragraph of the Internal Revenue law in relation to threadinga, The Presi? dent was requested to furnish to the House a list of all officers and mon dismissed from the United States army fer desertion, and of all who were sub? sequently reinstated. The Bill providing for the contingent expenses of the Senate was referred to a committee of conference. Tae House soon after adjourned. At a ladies' soiree in Gotham, they had nothing for refreshment but tongue sandwiches, and noth? ing to sip but gos-s?p. Our New York Letter. [FROM OTJB BEOTJLAR CORRESPONDENT. J NEW YORK, March 27.- Temperance is a good thing, and politics mar be a good thing, too, at times, and when it is of a proper brand; but it were perhaps better not to mix them np together in the same dish. It is related of a gentleman in uneasy circumstances, who lived, or rather voge- | tated, in a third-class boarding-hortso, that on taking his scat at breakfast table, one morning, and finding tho sugar dish half full of sugar and j half full of flies, he remarked to the landlady that ho was found of sugar, and had a greet respect, not to say affection for flies, but that he preferred having them served up in separate dishes, if con? venient. Politicians and temperance men are be? ginning to servo up the political sugar and tem? perate flies in the same dish, as for example: At a meeting at Plymouth Church, last night, where HORACE GREELEY, using his eloquent tongue as on all-potent spoon, stirred the two things together, contending that the sale of alcohol should be regu? lated i>nd restricted by legislative enactment, and ? that the traffic in all intoxicating liquors should be i likewise regulated by law. Now it may'be all very well to endeavor by legitimate means to keep up trmjempeianoe movement, but if dealers are to be crohtbHed from selling whiskey because men who purchase may BO use it, or rather so abuse it, as to injure themselves, the Legislature may just as well pass a law placing restrictions upon the sale of cheese, because buyers may make it up into Welsh-rarebits, and by eating too much thereof might injure their digestive organs. What with" universal suffrage, temperance, women's rights, Fcnianism, and all sorts of isms, everything is I getting to be mixed up in such a fly-and-sugar | fashion that we, the independent boarders in Uncle Sam's large hotel, will soon have to eschew each and every dish, or chew thom altogether. The committee appointed to examine into the nffairs of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the directors of which have been charged with having purposely flooded the market with stock, bringing it down from two hundred and thirty to- one hun? dred and twenty (par value one hundred), and mining LEONASD W. JEROME and others, has been hard at work, but has found out nothing so far. JEROME himself is one of the directors, and it ia theroforo hardly probable that there could have I been anything wrong behind the curtain. The criminal record in the courts here of late shows au alarming increase in the number of per sons arrested, charged with the horrible crime ot infanticide and murder, by means of the attempted production of abortion. Within the post week I there have boen two instances in which the unfor- ? t?nate victims of the last-named crime have gone to their dread account. Tho horrible profession j seems to pay largely here, (br many of its malo and j femalD practitioners livo iu marble palaces that j rent for. at least five or SA, Thousand .dollars p?rv annum.

The extraordinary movement hero among all j classes, and in all circles of society, in favor of giving entertainments for the benefit of the des ti- : tute people of the South, is daily gabling in popu? larity. Theatrical people, operatio people, circus peon?a, ..concert singers, and amateurs, are all working bravely in the good cause, rani night after night are concerts, theatrical entertainments and tableaos given at Jerome's theatre by the first ladies of the Fifth Avenue. In consideration of this last mentioned circumstance, it becomes me to explain how it is that the performance of the Charleston amateurs for the benefit of the South? ern Mutual Aid Association of your city has not come off as I had announced that it would. The ladies had consented to perform provided they would not be compelled to appear in a public theatre or hall-wherefore JEROME waa applied to and promised the use of his theatre. It appears, however, that ho has been compelled ti withdraw his offer on thc ground that the Ladies' Southern j Belief Association here, to whom he hod tendered the uso of the building, will keep it for an inde? finite period, during which time it can only be used for entertainments given under their patronage and for the benefit of their o vn Society. Whether | or not the amateurs will moke arrangements to 1 to play there under such conditions I have not yet | been able to learn. A night or two ago a concert, lu aid of the cause referred to above, was given in tho immense par- I lors of the magnificent residence of M. STOUOHTON, on Filth Avenue, and a large amount was realized. The ladies who shone most conspicuously were the 1 Misses PARKER and BOCDBETMSK, of this city, Mrs. WILSON, also of New York, and Miss BROOKS, of Detroit. Critics say that Miss BROOKS Bings quite as well and artistically aa the best professionals of the Italian Opera. The merchants of New York may deserve the re? putation, they have acquired for shrewdness, yet they are not so wise but that they can be taken in now and then. A man who calls himself MARTES (that which we call a roso by any other name would ' smell as sweet) has been carrying on,since Sep- i te mb er 1858, the neatest kind of a swindling game, and has come ont ahead to the tune of ten thou? sand dollars. MARTIN'S stock in trade consisted in ] a quantity of "cheek" and a subscription list pur? porting to be for the benefit of the indigent mem tots of the Insurance patrol. He called regularly | once a year on the firm of H. B. CLAPETS & CO., and walked ofl as regularly with a ten dollar bill, and so with other houses, and verily his business 1 did flourish and prosper. Yesterday, however, he j was arrested, and now is MARTIN'S occupation gone. Gold quiet at 184}; business dull, and-only this and nothing more. MOtJLTRTF.. DEATH OT Cox,. D. S. TATXOB.-We have to re? cord this morning tb" ieath of another old citizen of Pendleton. On I ...day last, CoL David 8. Tay? lor departed this life, in the sixtieth year of his age, after a brief illness, of apoplexy. His summons was short, although premonitory symptoms of the disease had been apparent for several years. CoL Taylor had accumulated a large fortdne before the war, and was regarded one of our wealthiest citi? zens.

The weather continaos cold, cloudy and unfa- j vorable to planting interests. Winter seems to withdraw his icy mantle with reluctance.. This state of weather cannot last tauohlohgor-it- would bo contrary to the long established rules of nature; so we may re* onably expect, before many days, that spring will, in truth, burst upon ns, and that vegetation ' will spring forth vigorously to the de? light of all. We aro informed by some of our ex? perienced planters thai the fruit crop was not se? riously injured by the late freeze.-Marion Ular. It has been found that the recent cold and heavy sleet did not entirely destroy the peach crop in this section of the country. The damage, too, to the early plan: s ot the garden was not so serious as was apprehended at the time. . After days of cold and cheerless weather, the genial sunshine again gladdens nature, and it rejoices as it springs again into new lifo.

The Nestor of German philologians and anti? quarians, Prof. AUGUST RCLKH, in Berlin, has re? signed his ornoo, which bo has hold for fifty-six consecrative years, ever since the institution of the University of Berlin. Ho was eighty-one years old oh the 24th of November last, and has just I celebrated the 60th anniversary since his acces? sion to the title of Doctor of Philosophy. Tho Now York Times' London letter has the fol- | lowing about Walt.. Whitman: "The Sunday , Times, an able conservative weokly, this week de votes a column of genial and appreciative criticism to Walt. Whitman. His 'Leaves of Grass' aro des? tined, it thinks, to hold a prominent, position in American literature, though its contents are such tis can not possibly be a .?nut ted into family read- I inf?.' Individually, people are strongly invited to read it; but not in families. It is said to be na? tional and oharscteristio in the fullest sens'-. Ninoty-nine hundredths of American poetry might havo been written bv Englishmen-not this. Ko? roro the 'Leavos of Grass,' no serious American work was wholly or in any wide sense national. It is not only American, hut. Manhattaneso. O iv a s tizen of New York couldjbavo produced it. Walt. Whitman combines tho freedom and coarseness of I Rabelais, the poetry of Osaian, and the philosophic Savor of Emerson.' His writings aro full of ch ir icter, and well worthy of contemplation. .This re- j dew, and the extracts given, will probably, in the Absence of international copyright, induce some publisher to bring out a cheap edition v* COMPREHENSIVE Dirmo&inx or TUT BIBLE. Messrs. D. Appleton & Co. ara about to publish a Comprehensive Dictionary of tho Bible, mainly ibridged from Dr. Wm.

These two dictionaries were the immediate precursors of that Ainsworth, which is evidently uased upon them, although much improved. The l'axis correspondent of tho Boston Tran? script writes: "It is repotted that when thu sub? ject of Tennyson's 'Elaina' was recommended to Liustav Dore, as a new and rich field for bis re? markable powers of illustration, he inquired, 'Wu. is this Tennyson ?' How a man who has hitherto been unconscious of tho' existence of the Poel Laureate could take np alrose French t, anslation af the tenderest and subtlest of the master's po? oina, catch the poetry evep under the baldness of the prose, and produce kaoh faithful illustrations ia he haj just published, ia truly wonderful- Dore .s revealed tu us in a new light.

THE IBTOPBESSIBLX: CONFLICT-On Sun lay after? noon last our tillage was the scene of a fierce and irrepressible conflict. The holy day makes the deed epnoar more unholy ! Four or five soldiers of tho'Federal garrison became "bifurcated with hot shots from a bluo-ruin decanter," and very wantonly disturbed the peace of a colored family. These soldiers, we understand, are of Coltish ori? gin. Their feet were at one time on their native Bog. They have a national antipathy to reptiles, and swear by St. Patrick. They are devotedly attached to potatoes, and have an abiding faith in good whiBkey. By some means, as we have already insinuated, tho "said Coltish gentlemen and a quantity of the said good whiskey got inside of each other ; and straightway the Celts were upon the war-path. As they wondod their devious way along our Hain s reet, they chanced to approach the residence of an American citizen of African descent-Phil. Hill -a good, honest, well-meaning fellow. Phil, was not at home ; ho was "up town ;" perhaps ponder? ing, in pensive mood, the long standing but now thoroughly avenged wrongs of his nation. The Celts entered his domicile forcibly, and spread terror and dismay among tho females of his fami lv. Mrs, Phil, crept forth and surreptitiously dis? patched a messengor for Phil. The untutored Af r can rushed to tho rescue, and, excited to frenzy by tho baso aggressions of the Celts, pitched m upon the latter wiih most valorous vim. It being Sunday, Phil's friends were lying round IOOBO. They flew to arms. More Celts arriv<d upon the field of glory. 'Tis impossible to describe the scene 1 A combat ensued that promised a very sarious termination. The result had like to have been tho same as in the fight of tho Kilkenny cats. It seemed probable for some time that noth ng would be left hut a fow mangled romains for the coroner to hold an inquest upon. But the Africans triumphed gloriously. One Celt was cut; another was shot, though not killed; whilo another was brought to the ground by an unerring brick from the vengeful hands of Airs. Phil. The commandant of tho post arrived up on tho scene, and speedily dispersed the combatants. Phil was arrested and carried to headquarters, but upon representations of his good character being made to tho commandant, and sufficient surety given of his appearance when the matter was in? vestigated^ he was released. As for the foemon whom Phd thought worthy (?) of his steel, we imagine they have had timo in the guardhouse to get thoroughly sobor, and to reflect maturely upon the nature and results of "irrepressible conflicts" in general.-Edgefield Advertiser. Tho Edgefield Advertiser records the death of John S. Sn. y ly, Esq., an honorable, amiable and generous citizen of that District, well known to an extensivo circle of acquaintances. Few men leave behind them so many warmly attached friends. MOKE CORN.-We neglected to notice in our last issue, tho arrival of 305 bushels of corn at the Bock Hill depot, consigned to Mr. Jones Crockett, for tho relief of the poor of this District. Mr. C. deserves the thanks of the suffering poor for his earnest efforts in their behalf. Wo understand this is a donation from tho good people of Ken? tucky.
