Is THE HOUSE, thia morning-, the managers introduced and secured the adoption of a reso? lution authorizing the appointment of a com? mittee to make ? thorough investigation in re? gard to the sources of the information concern? ing the intended votes of senators, published in the newspapers. As long as the predictions of the press indicated the conviction of the ^ President, no umbrage was taken ; but in the well founded statements, published on Tues? day and Wednesday, foreshadowing an acquit? tal, the managers professed to discover a hein? ous breach of the privileges of the High Court. It is now admitted on all bands that the chan coe are against the vote being taken on Saturday next. It is almost certain that no re? sult will then be reached, unless conviction ahall seem practicable. Both sides still pro? fess to be equally confident.

THE IMPEACHMENT SCHEME. LATEST GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON. WHAT THE CORRESPONDENTS SAT. The data from Washington, received by last night's mail, indicate the following nine Re? publican senators as freely spoken of for ac? quittal, viz : Fessenden, of Maine; Anthony, of Rhode Island; Frelinghnysen, of New Jersey; Trumbull, of Illinois; Grimes, of Iowa; Hen? derson,- of Missouri; Ross, of Kansas; Van Winkle, of West Virginia; Fowler, of Tennes? see. The above, with the eight Democrats, positive for acquittal, viz : Buckalow, of Penn? sylvania, Bayard and Saulsbury, pf Delaware; Johnson and Vickers, of Maryland; Daria and McCnery, of Kentucky; Hendricks, of Indi? ana; and the four Conservatives, viz : Dixon, of Connecticut; Doolittle, of Wisconsin; Nor? ton, of Minnesota, and Patterson, of Termes- j see-comprise twenty-one votes. With all the fifty-four senators voting, only nineteen votes are necessary for acquittal, and these will still be inquired for that result ii either Mr. Wade (ou account of being an interested party) or Mr. Howard, on the other side, should ot vote. If, however, only seven of the nine Re? publicana named vote for acquittal, the result will be the same. The New York Tribune concedes that Messrs. Fessenden, Grimes, Trumbull and Henderson will go against conviction, and says that the three more who are required to make up the seven Republican senators necessary for acquittal must come from seven gentlemen considered doubtful, viz: Fowler, Van Winkle, Anthony, Frelinghuysen, Roes, Wilby and Spragus. Of these Messrs. Fowler and Van Winkle are conceded by the Tribune for ac? quittal, so that one of the other five holds the decision of the case in hie hands. But it has a Washington dispatch wai ch says that Freling? huysen is sure to vote for conviction on tho first three articles, and this, he thinks, will carry Willey also. This leaves three from which, according to the Tribune's estimate, to get the one other vote which ia requisite, according to its estimates, and on which it pronounces that "conviction looks very, very doubtful" POSTPONEMENT OF TSE VOTE OK IMPEACHMENT THE RADICAL PRETEXT-THE ULTRA-RADICALS DEMORALIZED, BOTH AB SENATORS AND AB JUDGES-PRESSURE TO BE BROUGHT ON RE? FRACTORY SENATORS-HENDERSON, OF MISSOU? RI-WA8HBURNE TALKING OF H-LL AND BUT? LER OF DJBS'ATION. The WashirrS|pn correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette, writing on Tuesday night, says: Great was the disappointment of the im? mense assemblage at the capitol to-day at the postponement of the vote on impeachment, al cuough it wat pretty well understood early in the morning that an effort to postpone would be made. The Radical senators had met In sauous and fixed the adjournment, but when required to assign some reason for the extra? ordinary movement, Senator Chandler arose with a long face and spoke of the serious illness of his colleague (Mr. Howard), who was confined to his room and who had been delirious most of the day yesterday. This may be all true, but a current report is that Senator Howard had eaten too heartily of green peas, which resulted in an attack of the cholera morbus, hut which did not necessarily un it him for the discharge of his duties as a mem? ber of the high court of impeachment. It ia j behoved he could have attended the session of | the court with entire convenience, and would have dune so, had if not been the policy of the Jacobins to delay the voting, finning, as they believed, that the President would be acquit ted *f they allowed the vote to be taken to-day In order to cover up their tracks and al? lay suspicion, they expressed many regrets at not being able to proceed, and even expressed a willingness to come to a vote if some friend of the President would agree to pair off with Mr. Howard and not vote. This by-play did not dec3ive any one.. Demoralization was plainly written on their faces, as plainly as it was subsequently spoken by Mr. Drake, who urged that the Senate should adjourn over as well as the Court, senators not bein g in a prop? er frame of mind to undertake their legislative duties. In the meantime every possible pressure is to be brought to bear upon the refractory sen? ators. Telegrams have been sent to every Con? gressional district, urging that all the appli? ances possible shall oe used to coerce these senators to vote for conviction. It is rumored this evening that already has Senator Hender? son sought relief from the pressure by promis? ing not to vote at all-but those who report this know little of tbe man. For thirty years Missouri was represented in the United States Senate by Benton, whose mantle has never fallen upon the, shoulders of another, for none have proven worthy, unless it be John B. Hen? derson, who has marked out for himself a broad national policy similar to that which made 'Old Bullion's' name a household word through? out the land. The impeachers are blustering and betting largely this eveing. and now declare they are certain of thirty-eight votes on the eleventh article, which by caucus agreement will be made the first one when the vote comes to be taken. It is thought exceedingly strange here that the article regarded equally by the mana? gers and the counsel for the President as being positively frivolous, should now be made the peg on which to hang a vote of conviction. Before the House of Repr?sentatives was called to order this morning the excitement in the hall was very great, and the recreant sena? tors, as the impeachers called them, were free? ly anathematized, and Butler said they "had demoralized themselves to political damna? tion." Washburne, the special guardian of General Grant, remarked that ''everything had gone to heu." It wu! be easily seen that the real motive of the postponement is (as stated) a thorough conviction on the part of the impeachers that they are powerless to convict, and desire "to be let down easily." They of course feel that their discomfiture w?l fall upon their parti? sans throughout the country like a wet blan? ket, and they dare not yet let loose their hounds upon such as Fessenden, Trumbull, Grimes and Henderson I This must be the work of time, and if possible deferred until af? ter the Chicago Convention shall have sur? rounded Grant with a halo of Radical glory, and these gentlemen aha" have been commit? ted to his support. They wiU then be un? ceremoniously given up to the assassins of character connected with their infamous jour? nals 1 Bnt I sm aware that other motives and hopes wm be alleged to have inspired thia cowardly "dodge-" It is urged by Radicals at the capi? tol that "time onlv and proper appliances are wanted to bring back certain senators to the control of the leading impeachers." To the eternal credit of the four senators to whom I have just alluded, their names aro in nowise :mi>ed up with this disgraceful suggestion. They, at least, are fairly admitted to be far be? yond the threats or blandishments or corrup? tions of tho unscrupulous men who yet rule the Senate, and I beg your readers to believe that there is not the slightest foundation for the insinuations in respect to others who are un? derstood to agree with them, and who, if they have not committed themselves in public seeches, have fully expressed themselves in private as to the utter failure of this onslaught upon the President. It is proper, also, that I should mention that certain desperate political gamblers openly ad? vocate the admission of a sufficient number of bogus senators from the South to ensure con? viction. And this monstrous proposition does not create surprise, much less indignation 1 I heard it to-day gravely argued that inasmuch as the whole of the testimony and argument, pro and con., waa available in print to the new senators, and that as the President had not appeared in person at the trial, ?feo., that they were as competent to judge of the merits of the controversy as if they had attended the court during the whole progress of the cause. I need not say that I place no reliance in the report that such a course will-even be attempted. I mention it to show the frenzy and despair of the Radical mind at this time in Washington. SENATOR OBQTJSS OK MPE ACHSTE NT. Mr. Grimes (Rep.), of Iowa, made along speech in the Senate, in secret session, on' Monday evening, in opposition to the impeach? ment of the President. After reviewing the several articles, he concluded as follows: I have expressed no views upon any of the questions upon which the President has been arraigned at the bar of public opinion outside of the charges. I have no right to travel out of the record. Mr. Johnson 'a character as a statesman, his relation to political parties, his conductas a citizen, his efforts at reconstruc? tion, the exercise of his pardoning power, the character of bis appointments and the influ? ences under which they were made, are not be? fore us on any charges. Nor can I Buffer my judgment of the law governing this case to be influenced by political considerations. I can? not agree to destroy the harmonious working of the constitution for the sake of getting rid of an unacceptable President. Whatever my opinion of the incumbent, I cannot consent to trifle with the high office he holds. 1 differ widely with the President respecting bia poli? tical views and measures, and deeply regret the differences between birg and Congress; nut I cannot, in my judicial capacity, record my vote that he is guilty of high crimes and mis? demeanors. TEE C0KSIDEEA.no KS WHICH 00VEEN TTfP! RE? SULT OF THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL-THE E? TBAOnPINAB? POSITION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY-THE RADICAL HOSTILITY TO WADE. The Washington correspondent of the New York World writes under date of the 10th in? stant : Should Mr. Fessenden, who, as an irate Rad? ical said yesterday, "has carried this thing in his breeches' pocket from the beginning," vote not guilty, his shining example may and doubt? less will be pretty safely followed by leeser lights in the Chamber. For if, in Mr. Fessen den's case, an act so consistent could be as? cribed to any other motive than that of justice, it would be to motives of political decency and caution, which inspire more Repubiicans*thon he to denounce the proposed surrender at this time of the fate of the Radical party m to hands like Mr. Wade's. All sorts of soothing assur? ances, to be sure, are murmured in the ears of Mr. Wade's enemies in the Senate, to the effect that he will, if elevated to the Presidential chair, ruopt discreetly administer the affairs of state with regard to the interests of whoever shall be nominated at Chicago for the next election. Yet Mr. Wade is too lustily despised, and bis word is held at too slight avalu?, for the prosperity of these advances. If swallowed at ali, it will be swallowed os a bitter pill; and it is still hoped that his repugnance to the tastes and reason of more than a third of the Chamber may assist to neutralize the tremen? dous pressure for conviction. The extreme Rad'cals of the Senate and House alike are struggling for conviction, not because they all continue to bo agreed that tho impeachment was a wise political measure, but because it has become a measure of despera? tion to the extreme wing of the pirty and to their individual selves. The blunder being committed, they see nothing but political dis? grace and personal obloquy m a failure to sup? port it. The rntm?ticTiTiftb^petrsohomes ra - the South, and of their pet aspirations for the next four years, is, as they contend, certain to follow the acquittal of Mr. Johnson. Here is exactly where a split, favorable to the Presi? dents cause, bas been impending between the moderate Republicans and th* fanatics. The men who believe that General Grant is the only man that could be elected as a Republican Pres? ident next November, are beginning to recog? nize the oolitical necessity of modifying the ex? cesses of the party and lessening the opprobri? um which attaches to it in the minds of the Conservative masses. Having learned the les? son tangnt by the elections of the last six months in widely separated sections of the country, these discreet counsellors forebode a stronger reaction against thedespotic success of the impeachment and the Radical measures which would be inaugurated upon it. The Republican party is, in fact, placed in a gratifying quandary. One of the rumors con? cerning Mr. Fessenden, whioh, whether it had a respectable origin or not. helps to illustrate tile fitful fearsomeness of Radical Congress? men and others who are circulating it, is that he said in conversation wita a gentleman from his own State, that if the President should be convicted the Democratic party would carry Maine next fall. Three Radical members of the House, with whom I happened to converse the other evening, spoke of the Republican party as "pretty well disorganized, con? viction or no conviction," and anybody who takes the unpleasant pains to min? gle with the garrulous throngs of Rad? icals who swell the nightly crowd at Willard's, cannot fail to be.edified with their reckless candor. The better class of Re? publican leaders have some reason to be alarm? ed bv the suggestion that Mr. Wade and his friends will, after his accession, and especially if Wade should not receive the nomination for Vioe-Preaident, cut loose from the Conserva? tive wing of the party altogether, give up the ship, and "go it bund" for their mutual bene? fit until a Democratic President is inaugura? ted in March. There are a plenty of Radicals in the Senate and in the country capable, in default of the certainty of success next fall, in turning the whole fabric o? government topsy turvey while Mr. Wade is in poBseasiou, and gorging themselves with spoil. Reputation, Eresent or posthumous, is doubtless a very ne thing to honorable gentlemen. Repu? tation with a party is commonly preferabi to most politicians". But in the cases of poli? ticians so lost to every sense of right, duty and propriety as to vote to substitute Ben. Wade aa President of tho United States, in the place of Mr. Johnson, reputation, either patri? otic or political, baa but a flimsy part. ^Str" corrupt, indeed, have become our poll tics, that sel-aggrandizement, even pecuniary self-ag? grandizement, ?B a oonsi deration that the low? est office-Beeker in Washington regrets he has not the means to apply. And, while the Radi? cal jugglers in Congress who manipulate the people's affairs are glad enough to be thought well of by deluded constituents, a glittering bribe, or a few months' lease of power and op? portunity of "piokings," are temptations for which how many of them would hesitate to risk their "sacred honors T That was a very brazen arrowy suggestion in The World that the whiskey-ring should purchase votes for ac? quittal at a million apiece : but that it aimed at the weak 3pc t in the mail of Borne of the Radical senaters is proven by the terror ex Ereseed by those who know them lest it should e seized upon and shot home. Other tokens, which I omitted to mention in my last letter, are tho reactionary sentiment manifesed by Conservative Republican sena? tors against the bullying course of the mana? gers, and the Btill more angry resentment aroused by the outside system of secret es? pionage and partisan intermeddling with the af? fairs of members of the court. No less than three senators on the Radical side of the chamber have declared since Friaay last, in terms more or less emphatic, that if the im? peachment of President Johnson should prove a failure, the managers and the officious poli? ticians here who arc employing the basest means to force conviction, will be themselves responsible for the issue.

The committee recommended the adoption of the first two obtuses of the resolution, and that the proposition to send bodies of convert? ed freedmen to Africa be referred to the foreign mission board for careful consideration. Rev. Messrs. Allen and Cnlpeper gave short accounts of their labors among the freedmen in the South. The latter stated the blacks were so governed by the Loyal Leagues that if | another minister belonging to that organiza? tion were to demand it of the League, tho blacks must attend his preaching, and none other. Rev. Messrs. Bacon, Sumner: Howard, Broaddus, S. H. Ford. Lan drum and Capeiton made addresses on the subject. The report was adopted. Rev. Mr. Howard offered a resolution in? structing the domestic mission board to enter into correspondence with the American Home Mission Society, to ascertain whether aid will not be furnished the appointees of the board in preaching the Gospel to the freedmen of the West and Southwest. . Rev. Mr. Thomas, of South Carolina, opposed the adoption of the resolution on the ground that they had already expressed their readi? ness to receive this aid, and no response had been received. Ho was against maxing any further petition in that quarter. After ad? dresses on the resolution by Rev. Messrs. Poindexter, Broaddus, Fuller, Winklar, Sum? ner and Helm, it was withdrawn. Bey. Dr. Hume presented a report from the committee to ascertain the best plan of socur ing means for missionary purpose!. It is strongly recommended to continue 'tie agency system in this connection.

The news of theso novel arrivals soon spread throughout Camden, and the phosphate ships were besieged by a crowd eager to Bee what South Carolina hod to send to Sew Jersey, Visitors were permitted to examine the cargoes, and a number ot sharks' teeth and pertrified vertebra) of marina monsters were found in the phosphat?e. These cu? riosities were highly prized by their lucky finders. But there is bidden m this South Carolina phosphates something fat more val? uable than the remains of the fiiny inhabi? tants of the great deep. A careful and thor? ough analysis by competent chemists have revealed toe important fact that this phos? phate contains properties snperioi to those of all Him dar agents known, and fully equal to the best guano. This important discovery is veri? fied beyond peradventure, and arrangements have been made to bring lull supplies of the phosphate wherever it may be needed. A re? volution m agriculture is at hand. The phos? phate fields of the Ashley River are very ex? tensive, indeed, almost inexhaustible. They are in the hands of a uamber ol prominent Philadelphiaus, who have invested largely and judiciously in good and appropriate machinery, manufactured in this State tor the purpose to whioh it is now applied. With the aid of these appliances, from three to five hundred tons of the phosphate can be excavated each day. The vast beds of this material are contiguous to navigable water, and the precious cartu can be readily and economically shipped. There is but one other deposit of phosphate similar to this of the Ashley River known to exist in the world, and this is in the north of j England, where it is found in what is techni? cally known to miners as a "pocket." This imi ortant dissovery and its practical develop? ment will work untold good to tbs South, as well as benefit to the agricultural ingres' of the North, East and West.

If the digestion is Imperfect, every member, every gland, every muscle, every nerve and fibre ls more or less out of order. All the fluids are depraved. The brain is clouded. The spirits are depressed. AU dyspep? tics know this to be the truth. It is r ot, however, half the truth. Columns would be required to enu? merate tho pams and penalties of dyspepsia, nor could any pen do thom justice. Tens of thousands feel them; no man can describe them. Can they be prevented ? Can they be relieved ? Can they be banished at onco and forever? UN? QUESTIONABLY TEE! CAN. No dyspeptic has ever taken HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS in vain Relievo no one who fays the complaint is incurable. This great vegetable stomachic will eradica'e it-is eradicating it in thousands of cases over which med? ical practitioners have shaken their heads ominious- " ly, paying, "Nothing con be done." The faculty has Its fallacies. One or them is that indigestion is the most difficult of all 'he ordinary ailments of mankind to combat and r-ibdue. This is a mistake. Nothing can be east' e than to con? quer it if tho true specific be administered. This vegetable combination, which has become famous throughout the civilized world as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH Bl TIERS, is an t ntidote to the disease which has never been known to fail, and fortunately lt ls everywhere procurable. If you wish to fool with the dyspepsia, try the pharmacopoeia prescrip? tions. If you want to root it out and prevent its recurrence, take the Bitters daily. There is no dis? count on the testimony In its favor. If there is s man or woman who has ever tried it for indigestion without being benefitted, the fact has not transpired. Universal, ^contradicted praise avouches its won? derful tonic virtues. 6 May 9 ?O- WHEATON'S OINTMENT WILL CURE thc Itch. WHEATON'S OINTMENT will cure Salt Rheum. WHEATON'S OINTMENT cures OM Sores.

In place ot a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had a sort roby con pie xi on of almost marble smooth? ness, and instead twenty-three she really appeared but eighteen.
