Thc Cincinnati Commercial jg (Re? publican) has tho following from Washington: Ordinary capacity to judge of men and measures, and to reason from what appears on thc surfaco what there is underneath, is tpiite enough to load to the conclusion that the proceedings of thc caucus on Wednes? day night, are intended as the initial stops in tho impeachment of thc Pre? sident. They are so understood sub rosa by a few who initiated them, if not by the vast majority who ratified them. A committee to investigate tho New Orleans riot seems like a very simple matter on its face; but taken in connection with the asser? tions of those who moved it, it means something more than an effort to give ollieial publicity to the facts of that disgraceful ebullition of Southern chivalry. So, too, of other investigating com? mittees appointed and to be appoint? ed. They all point in una direction a determination to get hold of some? thing that will justify the arraign? ment of the President for some crime or misdemeanor. Tho only part of the radical programme to which ex? ceptions can be taken, (for the right to investigate the conduct of Mr. Johnson eau certainly not be called into question even, if, all things con? sidered, its propriety be doubted,) is the proposition which it is commonly \ understood will be offered before j long, to enact a law making the I arraignment of the President the sig- j nal for his removal from office. This must and will be looked upon I as a revolutionary proceeding, and cannot meet the endorsement of any mau not prevented by party passions and prejudices from seeing that it is possible to carry the persecution even of such a mau as Johnson too far. Itis unjust in what it proposes, and dangerous in the example it sets for future imitation by political ma? jorities. It contemplates punishment j before trial or conviction, and es-j tablishes a precedent under which the President of the United States may, at any time, be removed, when a mere majority in tho House of Rep? resentatives shad be dissatisfied with his conduct. It requires only a majority of the House to pass articles of impeachment; but the framers of tho Government, anticipating just such a state of things as Stevens and Kelley a"d their associates now wish to bring about, provided that it should require two-thirds of the Se? nate sitting as a high court of im? peachment to convict. A Washington correspondent writes as follows to the Cincinnati Gazette: The Congressional trumpet rings clear. There is no mistaking its notes. They call to a conflict which ! will be made final, to a victory which will cause the loyal to rejoice. There seems to be a general disposition to pay little attention to Andrew John? son personally, to waste no words upon him, but to proceed quietly to a thorough investigation of his acts. Beyond question, he will be stripped of all power to injure his country, and left as helpless to harm as a ser? pent without fangs. While it seems almost certain that the investigations already ordered, will bring to light acts which will demand impeachment, at the same time legislation is already planned to set him aside almost as effectually as if placed on trial and couvicted. The chango in tho time of tho meeting of Congress, the re? vision of the modes of appointment, and the proposal to limit the dura? tion of Presidential terms to four years, all look in that direction. Suit has been brought, in tho Fourth District Court of New Orleans, against Colonel Oscar Burbridge, of Kentucky, to recover 8100,01)0 as damages for the wrongful seizure and forcible capture of 758 bales of cot? ton, at Shreveport, La., on tho 1st of November, 1805, by said Burbridge, who was Special Supervising Agent of tho Treasury Department of tho United States. Robert G. Carter, Jerome Bradley and William S. Chap? man aro parties to the suit. I MIKtxirj- Commis-tiou? Illegal-Deci? sion of tile S II ?neme Court . In our telegraphic reports, yester? day, wa* given fin abstract of the de? cision of the United States Supreme Court, declaring military commis? sions foi.' tuc; IM;I1 of civilians ine? gal. The importance of the decision to our people, especially in view of the present action and attitude of the military authorities in this State, induces us to publish in full the fol? lowing official report of the decision of the Court: Ex porte Lanbdin P. Milligan.-The question certified up in this (and two other cases heard with it) were as fol? lows: 1. On the facts stated in said peti? tion and exhibits, ought a writ of habeas corpus to bo issued, according to the prayer of the said petition? 2. On tho facts stated in said peti? tion and exhibits, ought thc said Lambdin P. Milligan to be discharged from custody as in said petition prayed? ?>. Whether, upon the facts slated in said petition and exhibits, the mili? tary commission mentioned therein had jurisdiction legally to tr%- and sentence said Milligan in manner and form as in said petition and exhibits stated? As to thc first two questions, it is answered affirmatively, and as to thc third question, IL is answered in the negative. Mr. Justice Davis read the opinion of the court, in which, as to the ob? jection to the jurisdiction of the court in the mutter, on the ground that there was no "snit" pending and before it, it is held that a cause is a suit, and wherever there is a pro? ceeding before a court, brought to assert any right by any person, that proceeding is a suit. In this case, there was an appearance by the Dis? trict Attorney on the part of the Go? vernment; but that is immaterial as to tho question of jurisdiction, as the appearance was not necessary to sus? tain lt. The language of tho statute providing for a certificate of division in any case where the .judges are di? vided-upon the application of either party"-is intended rather to enlarge the statute than to restrict it in a manner to exclude the right of appeal in cases of this character, where onb the name of ono party appears. On tho merits, it is held that Con? gress provided against such commis sious, rather than in favor of them. ! by the Act of lt?(>3, and that Congress has not the constitutional power tc authorize such commissions; that the Constitution is express against them and it is the supreme law of the land ! in times of war as in times of peace j Mr. Chief Justice Chase read ai opinion, (in which Justices Wayne I Swayne aud Miller concur,) dissent ? ing from so much of tho opinion o the court as held that Congress die not have the constitutional power t< authorize military commissions, bu concurring as to the answer given t< tho questions certified up. The dis senting"opinion held that, in time o war, Congress may authorize militar commissions to try offences such a charged in the case before the court -< -o<^ ? Mn. DAVIS-SURBAIT.-Our Fort ress Monroe correspondent says tba Jeff. Davis is highly gratified at th arrest of John H. Surratt. He see his way to a full proof of his inno cenco, it is asserted, through Surratt' testimony, and, even if the capture? fugitive should make the charge against Davis that it is rumored li will, the latter expresses himself full; able to disprove them. Unless som unexpected turn of events occurs growing, possibly, out of the Surra, trial, Davis does not expect that ?ii case will come up before next spring [New York Herald. And Bennett has the grace to adi that it is simply impossible that Mi Davis should have had any hand i the assassination of'Mr: Lincoln. Philadelphia is" said to be built o a gold mine. A letter-writer, wh makes the assertion, explains : Under that city there is a depos of clay, measuring ten square mile This stratum of clay has a thicknei of about fifteen feet. The chemis in applying his tests, has discovert that gold exists in that clay bed i the value of three cents to each cub foot. In that vast clay deposit the: are 180,000,000 cubic feet, in whic is diffused $120,000,000. There gold enough in every brick ma? from it to cover it with two squa inches of gold leaf, and within tl corporate limits of that city there more gold diffused than bas yet be? brought from Australia and Califo nia. -. A despatch from Cork, Irelan dated the 12th inst., says a lar number of Fenians have embarked this and other Irish ports for Arnerh FKKN'CU CHOLERA STOBY.-A Paris- j ian correspondent says: "By-the-way, tho word cholera re? minds mo that ono of our provincial judges, recently delivered a judgment, which would not have discredited Solomon. A sugar refiner at Lille generously titted up the room adjoin? ing his engine-room as a steam bath, and allowed all persous in the town seized with cholera to be brought thither. Not oue of the persons ex? posed in this steam bath died of that disease. One woman-a factory girl iu a colton manufactory cf Lille-was so scalded during a bath as to be unable to work for two days, and, with singular ingratitude, she brought suit against her benefactor to recover the two days' wages she lost. Tho judge, summoniug all his gravity to his countenance, thus addressed her, after hearing her and her witnesses' testimony: 'Madame, I should not hesitate to sentence tho defendant to pay you the wages of the two days you have lost, could I, at the same time, force him to restore the cholera which you yourself confess you lost in his house; unable to strain my power so far, I must dismiss your case.' The audience approved, by great laughter, the judge's decision, and the woman, covered with confu? sion and pursued by jeers, quitted ! the court house. " Referring to an experiment wit- ' uessed near Memphis, with a newly- j invented cotton-picking machine, the Bulletin says: "Thc machine is of simple cou- ! struction, and designed to operate on j two rows at a time. A mule is the ; motive power, walking between the j rows, the driver perched on the top j of the machine, at whose right hand is a lever by which the machinery is thrown in and out ut" gear. The front of the machine presents *two rows of revolving brushes, by which it is cast into a receptacle behind, holding, j perhaps, three hundred pounds. There are two faults with the ma- j chine, which tho inventor, however, | says he can speedily remedy. One is too great a degree of velocity, and ! the other, that too much trash is i taken in with the cotton. It wascon ceded by gentlemen of experience in i these matters, that Mr. Trensch's in- ; vention is the nearest to perfection, I and that it can be readily developed i by one or two alterations." A NEW ISLAND.-The St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald chronicles oue of tho peculiar results of the action of the current of the Missouri River on its banks and on its sandy bottom. An island has been formed in tho river opposite St. Joseph, the channel run? ning between the island and the Mis? souri shore. Although a vast bed of sand over two miles iu length, should it withstand the flood next spring, it may soon be covered with a growth of trees. An immense drift has formed at the upper end, which it is believed will protect it from the rush of waters and make it permanent. The c?her day, two citizens of St. Joseph passed over to the island, Look possession of it and erected a cabin thereon, which they hold will give them the first claim to entry when the Government places it in market. AIR-LINE RAILJXOAD TO NEW YOKE. On Monday, the President of the Senate laid before that body an Act to authorize the building of a mili? tary and postal railroad from Wash? ington to New York, under the name of "The National Railroad Compa? ny," aud authorizes the construction of a railway upon as nearly as possi? ble an air-line, from Washington city to New York, through Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The bill expressly forbids contracts with any existing railroad company, and requires also that first class passenger trains shall go through in seven hours; second-class pas? senger trains in fourteen hours. A royal decree has recently been is? sued in Spain, winch repeals an en? actment equivalent to our old fugi? tive slave law. Hereafter, slavery is to bo treated as a local institution peculiar to Porto Rico or Cuba, and the moment a person held as a slave in those islands reaches, from any cause, any other portion of tho Spa? nish dominions, or the territory of any State where slavery does not ex? ist, he regains his freedom. This is another evidence of the power of en? lightened public opinion, and of the approaching overthrow of "the sum of all villainies" in every civilized country. A Memphis despatch of tho 12th inst., to tho Cincinnati Gazette, says: "The soldiers at Corinth killed a notorious horse-thief who was at? tempting to steal a good horse. Some little excitement ensued but no colli? sion. The Vicksburg Grand Jury sent a complimentary address to Gen. Wood." SPECIAL NOTICES SWEET OPOPONAX FUOM MEXICO!

Dec ll ly THIRTY lal S KS OK COMMON SE\'SE.-Reader, having glanced over the editorials ami thc news in this journal, you turn to the advertisements, saying to your? self, "These an; published by the writers to serve their own interests.*' Perhaps so. But it is no less truo that il concerns your interests to read these thirty Hm s. If you are health}-, it is presumed you wish to continue so. If sick, of course, you desire to be relieved.

This is a period of the year when thc strongest need an invigorant, for tho oppressive heat drains the system of si-rength faster thau thc most potent and vigorous organization can recruit it. There? fore, as a preservative of health- as a pro? tection against the devitalizing action of j heat and tho malaria it produces-you should sustain the good constitution and sound stamina with which nature has blessed you with this peerless Vegetable Tonie.

Before they have taken the elixir threo days, in conformity with j the directions, they will acknowledgo with gratitude its genial operation. They will lind that it imparts mental as well as nerv? ous energy, and regulates all the internal functions admirably.
