PROCEEDINGS IN THE HIGH COURT OF rUPEACH JEENT-BO UT WELL CONCLUDES HTS ARGUMENT AND NELSON SPEAKS IN REPLY. * WASHINGTON, April 23.-The High Court reassembled at eleven A. M., and Mr. Boutwell concluded his speech. Thomas A. B. Nelson, of counsel for the President, then made an ex? tempore argument. He alluded to the magni? tude of the occasion, and feared a lack of ability on his part properly to treat it. The managers charged Johnson with an evil nature and wickedness, and have characterized him as everything, from a political criminal to a common scold. Nelson ^ave the Presi? dent's biography in refutation of these aspersions. He felt that he was not ad? dressing senators as politicians, but as judges who would rise above prejudice or party, and was confident that outside pressure would be indignantly repelled. If he believed conviction a foregone conclusion, humble as he was, he would scorn to address them. Nelson . cited the resolutions offered by the President and adopted by Congress immediately after the Bull Bun disaster, declaring the purposes of the war, which ordinance was still unrepeat? ed. To these resolutions Johnson was faith? ful. Lincoln's policy after Lee's surrender was based upon those resolutions, which Johnson had faithfully carried out. Congress claimed power in the reconstruction acts by implication. The President had a right to his own opinion, and honesty and integrity of mo? tive must be presumed in such a case. Nelson claimed that Congress had justified the Presi? dent's policy in the primary recognition of Tir ginia. He aleo argued the judicial character A of the Senate, and denounced the cla-.ms of the managers that the Senate was a law unto itself, and could convict on common fame, as danger? ous to the country. In closing, he denounced, as crossly improper, the managers' cry that the people demanded conviction, and that the public pulse beat fitfully while it was delayed. The court then adjourned. The Southern Elections. NORTH CAROLINA.. RALEIGH, April 23.-The polls were closed at six o'clock. About 2250 ballots were cast, ap? proximating very nearly to the whole number registered. There has been no count, and it will require over twenty-four hours, there be ins over 100,000 names. Wake County is sup? posed to have gone for the constitution by 500 majority. The majority against the constitu? tion in Mecklenburg is 500; in Cleveland, 1000; Gaston, no figures; Roane, large, and Mash, 300. Both parties claim the majority, but the Conservatives are very confident of defeating the constitution and Holden. The Radicals claim Forsythe, Randolph and Chatham by large majorities. GEORGIA. SAVANNAH, April 23.-The Conservatives are gaining to-day, and are buoyant and enthusi? astic. The election passed off quietly. Every species of fraud has been practiced by the Radicals to exclude Conservative votes. The polls were closed at 6 P. M. precisely. The city vote is considered Conservative; the coun? try vote Radical. Result doubtful. MACON, April 23.-4199 votes were cast in this county-result doubtful. The Democrats claim 200 majority. Houston county is claimed De? mocratic by a Bmall majority. Sumter is esti? mated to have gone Radical by 500 majority. Twiggs has gone Radical. Monroe Democratic by 100 majority. Pike Democratic by 300 ma? jority. The Democrats have carried Lee by a small majority; Baker by 250; Mitchell by 300, and Wilcox by 300. Wilkinson has gone Radi? cal. AUGUSTA, April 23.-The vote to-day amounted to 817; total for four days days 5257. Bullock's majority is fully 1000. The election closed in a row between the blacks and whites, several were wounded, but none seriously. The excitement is intense-subsequently a ne? gro knocked a white lady down in the public streets, injuring her severely. This added to the excitement, and fears were entertained of a general riot. Several shots were fired at the freedman, but he escaped with a slight flesh wound. After the negro's arrest, the military charged through the streets, dispers? ing the crowd. Alter quiet was restored it was ascertained that the negro who assaulted the lady was suffsiicgunder a temporary fit of insanity. When this became known quiet was restored, and at this hour, ten o'clock, the city is perfectly quiet and order reigns. LOUISIANA. NEW OB-LEANS, April 23.-Complete returns show that the majority in this parish against the consti tution is but 208. One Democratic .'and one Republican Congressman have been elected in this district. Conway, Democratic, has been elected Mayor, and there is a Demo? cratic majority in both Boards. Returns from the country parishes place the constitution ahead nearly 3000 in twenty-two parishes.

It was a great success. At the close of the read ing, Mr. Dickens addressed the audience as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen ? The shadow of one word has impended over me all this evening, and the time has come at last when the shadow roust fall. It is but a very short one, bat the weight oi such things is not measured by their length; and two much shorter words express the whole realm of our human existence. When I was reading "David Copperfield" here last Thursday night, I felt tl at there was more thau usual significance for me in Mr. Pecgot ty's declaration : "My future fife lies over the sea." And when I closed this book just now, I fett keenly that I was shortly to establish such an alibi as would have satisfied even the elder Mr. Weller himself. [Laughter.] The rela? tions that have been set up between us in this place-relations sustained on my side, at least, by the most earnest devotion of myself to my task; 8U8tained by yourselves, on your side, by the readiest sympathy and kindliest acknowl? edgment-must now bo broken forever. But I entreat you to beliovo that in passing from my sight you will not pass lrom my memory. I shall often, often recall you as I see you now, equally by my winter fire, and in the green, English summer weather. I shall never recall you is a mero public audience, but rather as a host of personal Irieuds, and ever with the greatest gratitude, tenderness and considera? tion. Ladies and gentlemen, I beg to bid von farewell. And I pray God bless you, and God bless the land in which I have met you. [Great applause, the audience rising, and with waving hankerchiefs and loud voices cheering the dis? tinguished reader till he had passed from the room.] THE STEAMSHIP MARYLAND. THE NEW STEAMER OF THE BALTIMORE AND CHARLESTON LINE-HER ORIGIN AND HISTORY ? DETAILED ACCOUNT OF HER BUILD AND QUALI? TIES-HEB COMMANDER AND OFFICERS-THE TRIAL TBE?-SHE SHOWS HEB HEELS-INTER? ESTING INCIDENTS-HO ! FOB CHARLESTON. [FROM OUB OWN COBBE6POKDENT.] BALTTMOBE, MD., April 20. There are few of your Charleston readers who are not familiar with that spectre-like squadron of steamers, which, silently aa shadows, and swift as the wind, were wont to steal into and ont of the harbor, frequently under the very muzzles of hostile guns, daring all the perils of battle and 6torm to supply the wants of a blockaded people. Maoy there are who will recall to memory the comely shape of one of these "phantoms of tho deep," the Coquette. 1 'She still liv<-s," and to-day I have had the pleasure of feeling her engines throb with the pulses of a now life, preparato? ry to her departure for Charleston, between which city and Baltimore she will henceforth ply, like an ocean 8buttle, weaving the fabric of a common prosperity and trade. When bought by her present owners, six weeks ago, the Coquette would scarcely have been recognized ; she was in appearance little more than a mere battered hulk. With true Baltimore energy, however, she has since been overhauled and refitted in every part, and to? day there is not a more graceful, tidy and taut looking ship that rests upon the bosom of the waters. Her name has likewise been changed, and hereafter the "Maryland," with the Sea Gull and Falcon, will constitute the trio of swift winged messengers whose design is to bring the Monumental City almost within hail ins: distance of our own. Under .'the circumstances, a description of the vessel may not be devoid of interest. She was built in Renfrew, Scotland, in 1864, bought by the Confederate Government, and before the end of the war, was sold to private parties. Her length is two hundred and twenty feet; breadth of beam twenty-six feet ; clear depth of hold thirteen feet; and mean draught,.when loaded, nine feet. The hull of the Maryland ie of iron, well strengthened by lateral and diagonal bracing, and built in six compartments, either or all of which can be filled with water or emptied by pumps. Danger from fire or leakage is thus averted. Tho rig is that of a "barkentine," that is, square rigged on the foremast, and schooner rigged on the main and mizzen masts. The ordinary capacity of the ship is 1200 bales of cotton, but she has carried 1800 balee, of which 460 were on deck. Her speed is likewise very great She has made fourteen knots, and with a small outlay of fuel, can easily make eleven. Her speed under canvas alone is nine knots. The ship is furnished with a double propeller and powerful English engines, that have no ?uperior in the United Statoe. The cylinders ire forty-four inches in diameter, and have a four-foot stroke. There are two anchors, ono jf which is a Trotman's patent, a host in itself. Pew American ships are supplied with it, but ill English steamers are 'required to carry at east one. There is a double independent steering apparatus. In tho pilot-house' is a Datent indicator, showing what directions have seen given by the engineer-whother to "go lheadi" to "slow," orto "stop." In the engine room is a corresponding dial, and warning of a ?tange is given by the ringing of a bell. The quarters of the officers and crew are ad? mirably arranged, there being abundant deck icconunodation, but the gem of the ship-that ?vbich. in addition to her sea-going qualities, ?viii make her popular, especially among the ladies-is the cabin. The floor consists of alternate strips of walnut and ash, which, lighly polished and oiled, produce a rery handsome effect. The ceiling and sides Df the apartment are painted white, ornament id with-a delicate blue beading and an edging )f gold. Lounges and seats of mahogany on ?very side invite one to attitudinize lazily; ind the staterooms are as luxurious as the boudoir of an ambitious bride. In brief, the Maryland is like a great yacht fitted up for a labob and his pic-nic friends. The following are the officers of the Miry and: Captain, E. C. Recd, (late of the Falcon), md one of the jolliest, bravest and best of fel ows, who allowed his ship to be sunk, while running the blockade, rather than surrender; Dhief Officer, R. E. N. Bosrgs; Second Officer, ft. Reid, (both well known in Charleston;) Shief Engineer, S. Chapman; Second Engineer, Hark Barclay; Third Engineer, George A. Dean; and Steward, Wm. Spiers. THE TRIAL TRIP. After being thoroughly renovated and put in Drder, it was of course necessary to teat tho machinery. A trial trip was accordingly made to-day, and the presence on the occasion of nany of the representative merchants, brok? ers, shippers and members of the press of Bal? timore evinced the great interest felt by these noble people in all that pertains to the welfare of Charleston, as well as to their own prosperi? ty as the great commercial city of the South. Leaving the dock at twelve o'clock, the Mar\ land ran down about twenty miles, Capt. Reed handling his ship superbly, and testing ber capacity, under the circumstances, with the most satisfactory result. During a portion of the distance he permitted her to display somewhat of her ancient heels, and although not at full speed, eight miles glided away from our keel in a little leas than thirty minutes. Sit in a railway car on any South Carolina railroad, and watch the mile posts going by so fast that they look like monuments in a graveyard, and you will havo some idea of the lively time made by the Maryland. During the trip a very handsome collation, embracing the delicacies of the season, and the usual liquid concomitants, was served up, much to the credit of Captain Reed and Chief Steward Spiers. A number of prominent gen? tlemen made speeches appropriate to the time and place, and for an hour or two, "all went merry as a marriage bell." Mr. David Mordecai responded to a toas t to his firm; Captain Reed spoke for his s hip; an? other Mr. Reed for tho Baltimore Press, and Mr. Robinson, of the finn of Lord & Robinson, Colonel Smoot and others, in general terms of the commercial interests involved in the effort to restore the prosperity of tho South. Take it all in all, ihe ?trip was a great suc? cess-creditable to Messrs. Mordecai & Co., the managing agents of the lin.; (who are associ? ated at the Chf^-leston end with Messrs. Courtenay & Trenholm) ; creditable to thc ship, and its officers; and creditable to the generous Baltimoreans who never do anything by halves. You may look for tho Maryland in two or three days, and you will say when you seo her that a handsomer specimen of a locomotivo hotel has not been in Charleston harbor for lo ! these many years. PHACT. POLITICS I.V THE STATE. ELECTION BET?BNS-ANDERSON AND SPAB BURG DEMOCBATIO- APATHY IN SCltTEB-I CAD SCCCESS TN NEWBERRY. ANDERSON. The Anderson Intelligencer says of the i tion returns that the highett vote cast wa the ratification- of tue constitution, 1313 and 1375 against, making a total of 2G88 v< with a majority of sixty-two against the stitution. Hon. W. D. Porter, for Governor, rece 1400 vo??s, and Gen. R.E. Scott received 1 making a majority for Porter of 115. The following delegation is elected to General Assembly: State Senate.-Dr. J. H. Ried, 1401. McAlister, 1273. Majority for Reid, 128. House of Representatives.-John B. Mo< ?399; Dr. Jobn Wilson, 1398; B. Frank Sl< 1381. Average majority for tho Democr candidates, 100. The registration returns up to the Slsi March show that there were 2046 white ro? tered voters, against 1418 blacks-giving a : jority of 628 for the whites. This does not elude the last revision, which will add more tl 100 to the white majority. From the best formation we can obtain, the white vote this election does not exceed 1500, while colored vote must have reached 1200-show that at least 600 whites did not'go to the po and scarcely 200 blackB retrained from ea cieing the right of eufiiage. NEWBERRY. The Newberry Herald says : The total number of votes cast in this c trict is 2804, of which 819 voted the Democra ticket, and 2045 the double-bated blue Radie About 15 whites, it is said, gave in their alie ance to the Rads., at the town box, but tba much larger number of respectable coloi people voted on the Democratic side.

Forney's paper, the Washington Chronich which is the special mouthpiece of the extrem Radical faction, and is supposed to reflect, in measure, the views of the impeachment mam gera, thus expresses itself concerning th final result of impeachment : "The article will be voted on separately in open court, an the general resuit will be in nowise affected b; a failure to sustain any single article, the sus faining of any single article being equally a effective as though all were sustained, lt i believed that the question uf conviction or ac quittai will bc finally decided by the middle o next week." The Baltimore Sun, having editorially ex pressed a grave doubt as to whether two-thirdi ol the Senate could BO ignore reason and jus tice as to declare for a verdict of guilty, quail fies its opinion by the following remarks: It must bo admitted, however, that the votes of the majority on Saturday overruling the de? cisions of tho Chief Justice in regard to the admission of testimony, showing that the President had acted on the judgment of his Cabiuet in connection with the Tenure-of-o?ice bill, were in fiat contradiction to the rulings oi Friday, and looked as if the majority feared that by those rulings they had let in too much, and that some secret influence had been at work to narrow the question to ono of a mere technical infraction of tho law, and ex? clude altogether the vital element of intent. The constant current of the rulings of the Senate for some days had indicated a willing? ness to let in all the facts showing the motives and objects of the President in his re? moval of Mr. Stanton, but when the majority, on Saturdav last, refused to admit testi? mony that the President had acted under the counsel of his constitutional advisers, and that at the meeting of the Cabinet, Mr. Stanton being present, when tho Tenure-of-offico bill came up for consideration, tho question was asked and the opinion expressed that Mr. Stanton and other Cabinet officers appointed by Mr. Lincoln did not come under its restric? tions, the inconsistency of ruling out such facts, with the previous equitable rulings, was abrupt and unaccountable, and tended to dis? courage the hopes which their liberal course before had awakened. The facts, however, which have been suppressed in Senate are before the country, and will exercise their le? gitimate influence at tho bar of public opinion. It will be found that the popular heart is con? cerned only with the great principles of justice, and has no sympathy with the attempt at con? viction of the President upon a mere techni? cality. The Senate consists of fifty-four members two-thirds of whom are necessary for convic? tion. Twelve members of the Senate being known to have considered there was no ground for ever entering upon the work of impeach? ment at all-including tho Democrats, and Messrs. Doolittle, Dixon and Norton-it may be assumed will vote against impeachment. This leaves forty-two Bepubbcans, or forty-one if Mr. Wade does not vote, as the New York Tribune says he is expected not to, because of the fact that he will succeed to the Presidency if Mr. Johnson is deposed. If seven of these forty-one Republicans vote with the opposition, Mr. Johnson will be acquitted, it only requir? ing nineteen votes for that purpose. The Tri? bune mentions the names of Messrs. Fessen den, of Maine, Anthony and Sprague, of Rhode Island, Sherman, of Ohio, Van Winkle and Wil? ley, or West Virginia, Fowler, of Tennessee, Trumbull, ol' Illinois, Grimes of Iowa, and Ross of Kansas, who, it says, have been counted on with more or less confidence to vote for acquit? tal, though it believes of the ten barely three will vote that way, if so many. It ought to be very diflicult to believe, however, that two thirds of the Senate can be fonnd to say, on their oaths, that the President is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors in connection with anything that has been charged. Economy in Feeding Horses. The great drawback on the farmer's profits is the consumption of fodder by the all-devour? ing draft horse, and too little attention is given to the economy of fodder, and to the prepara? tion of it in such a manner that while there is as little waste as possible, the food is given in a shape in which it can be easily masticated and reduced lo that pulpy mass, which eau be taken up by the blood vessels and distributed throughout the tissues, which extend all over the frame. The expense of feeding horses is generally so great as to have a very injurious effect on the pecuniary circumstauces of the tillage farmer, and it is a question whether he should be better off without any tillage land. At all events, farmers who keep nearly all their land in grass tor thc purpose of raising cattle or sheep, ai^c generally much better off than those who keep a large portion of their farms tilled and aro compelled to have & large number of horses to do the work. Om thing is certain, that if horses aro kept, they must bc fed. ..nd the manuer of feeding with the least p. .,. expense, and the greatest benefit to thu ani? mals, is a matter of very great importance tu the farmer. There is a vaiicly rf articles available for feeding farm horses in a very substantial man? ner at a reasonable expense. Steamed potatoes nr.- strongly recommended as a chea;) and use? ful provender. In feeding with any kind ol' grain, it should always bc bruised, or what is better, coarsely ground. The hay should be cut into chaff, that is int< small lengths of from a quarter to half an inch, mixed with a propor? tion of straw, cut in a similar manner. In the stables of Hanourg and Trueman, in Spitalsfields, eighty-two horses are kept. The animale receive all their food in the manger; no hay is ever put in the rack. The whole are in excellent condition, evincing the correctness of the management. En ch horse consumes in the twenty-four h ours, eighteen pounds of cut hay and straw, of which tho latter constitutes one-eighth, fourteen pounds of bruised oats, one pound of bruised heans-making in all thirty-three pounds of IV od. In summer beans are not given, being found too heating; but in? stead of the beana a sm:ill addition is made to the quantity of oats. E alf a pound of salt is given to each horse, divided into t so portions; one given on Saturday, and the other on Sun? day, which so given, purgeB moderately. Dr. Sully, of Somer jetville, England, has been very successful in feeding horses. He nae adopted the follow Jig mode of treatment, and has persevered in it for thirty years. Hie horses work hard, and ire always in good con? dition: In 1rs B tables there are no racks to bold hay, as he considers it a wasteful method of feeding; and that :he horses, when they have the command of t aeir beads, pull the hay out of the racks and tarow considerable por? tions of it under thei1.' feet, and tbat twenty pounds of hay and upward are often consumed ' in this way, and spoLed in the twenty-four hours; whereas, when it ia cut and mixed with a due proportion of sot straw and bruised grain, ten pounds will oe sufficient. In the loft above ;he stable proportional quantities of food, eur? cien t for the daily con? sumption of each ho.:ee, is prepared; a pipe passes from the loft to each manger, and close hy the top of tb e pipe is placed a tube capable of containing sufficient food for a horse for twenty-four hours. To prevent the horse from tossing the mixed food out of the man? ger, cross bars are na.lcd on the top of it, at twelve inches apart The cut bay and straw, and also the grain, are regularly weighed ont, and when the ingredients are prepared, the portions for each norse are allotted. For the sake of variety the ingredients of the food are divided into four clas ses, consisting of farina? ceous substances, such as bruised beans, peas, wheat, barley or oat j; bran, fine or coarse; potatoes, boiled or steamed; boiled barley, hay cut into chaff, straw cat into chaff, meal dust or ground oil cake, w it h two ounces of salt in each thirty pounds of feed. The ingredients of the doily ration (thirty pounds) in class 1, c rasiat of five pounds of I bruised oats, or bet ns, etc. ; five pounds of | boiled potatoes; six pounds of boiled barley; seven pounds of cho pped hay. The ingredi? ents oz class 2, consist of five pounds of bruised grain; five pounds of boiled or steamed pota toes; eight pounds of chopped bay; ten pounds of chopped straw- tro pounds of meal dust. Class 3; ten pounds bruised grain; ten pounds chopped hay; ten pounds chopped straw. Class 4, five ponnds of bruised grain; seven pounds of beans; eight pounds of chopped straw, and two pourn LS of malt dust.

WOODWORTH.-Bied on the night of tbe 27th of March, after a severe illness of eight days, Mrs. ELIZA WOODWORTH, in the 76th year of her age. Simple and unassuming in manner, kind and pleas? ant in disposition, she has passed away leaving us to mourn that we shall behold her no more upon earth, but we ore comforted by the blcFsed hope that she has found rest in the Vosom of Him who hath said, "Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy la? den and I will give you rest." 1* ?** DEVEAUX-Died, ta Walterboro', S.

Tho soul of one of the purest ta our com? munity-the soul of the pious and the just-hath left earth and ascended to its home ta glory and bliss. SAMUEL VALENTINE departed this lite on the evening ol the 20th instant. Sudden and unex? pected was tie blow-deep and distressing ia the loss -heavy and beyond description is toe breach. Truly indeed ("the righteous, even after their death, oro called living"), and, therefore, will the memory of Ibis good man Uve and be cherished by all whose favored lot made them acquainted with his generous acts, uni vet sal charity and noble career. Few men sought ao little after worldly populan ty, and few, indeed, so greatly merited it in aa uncommon degree. To do good. Uve righteously, and walk hum? bly with his God, were the sims of his well-spent life, and which formed the golden link between this earthly existence and the heavenly home now reached. Averse to pomp and outward show, his path was as a shining light, ? 'shining more and more to the perfect of day." May its rays illumine our way amidst the deep affliction and gloom of so great a be? reavement, and may God comfort and guide us ta our endeavors to soar to the celestial regions, where the soul ot the departed now dwells m comfort with its Maker. "So mote it be." Amen I In full integrity, from childhood's day, Upright he walked and never went astray; Spotless his Ufe, ta virtue's sacred shrine Forever would his pious thoughts indin?; He loved truth and peace, and ever sped Where rectitude's unerring dictates led; To youth, to age, alike, he gladness brought, Grace was ta his language, purity ta each thought; To friends a precious corner-otone and guide, The congregation's best ornament and pride. His heart, obedient to God's holy law, Within its pages divine salvation saw, Until his sun had set. At Heaven's behest He flew on eager pinions to his rest 1 What need of perishable, useless stone To boast of virtues which so weU were known ? j What need of marble, cold as the heart it covers ? Think of the spirit that around us hovers. Ask not so vainly-who this place shall fill ? But act that he may be seen among us still : Father the orphan, age its ease secure, Support the widow, educate the poor, Do what he would have done; assist in aU When charity our people's welfare call. Thus shall ye raise a worthy monument. Which rime's destroying hand may well defy ; Thus shoU his name, with ail that's useful blent, Honor'd descend to aU posterity. * M.

We propose holding A FLORAL FESTIVAL OR FAIR, during the latter part of the coming month of May, hoping we may thereby realize a sufficient amount to enable us to continue during the present year the various religious and charitable works which we have commenced, and thus far carried on with great success, but which we must necessarily but reluc? tantly abandon, unless we derive aid from some source. The plan ot a Festival or Fair, during the season of flowers, has suggested itself to our minds, and we feel assured that it ouly requires your assis? tance to make lt a complete success. We propose that the ladles of each church prepare one table or booth, supplying the same with such ar? ticles for sale as their own good judgment may sug? gest, beUevtag that a generous emulation thus en? gendered, as to which ehaU best succeed, will when all are combined in one collection, present a most elegant and complete display; and, furthermore, that each table remain under the control of the ladies who prepared it, ta order that at the close of the Fair it may be seen which has succeeded best ta the enter? prise, and thereby contributed the largest amount towards the causo ta which we are aU so interested. We, therefore, respectfully call upon the ladies cona posing the various congregations of aU evangeli? cal denominations in this city, to combine among themselves, and commence at once the preparation of such articles as their own fancy and judgment may dictate. Let aU assist, the humblest as weU aa the wealthiest, and with united energies carry out this work. The mdbbers of the Association will, one and all, cheerfully perform ?U and every labor that may be required cf them, and will hold themselves always ta readiness to obey every reqnea . Those ladies who ore willing to assist us are re? quested to meet every Friday AJUrnoon at Five o'clock, ta the rooms of the Association (ta King street, over.Messrs. FOOABTTE k STILLMAN'S Store), to confer with each other and tho officers of the As? sociation, and perfect such arrangements as slay be? come necessary ta carrying out the plan suggested to a successful termination.
