VIENNA, January 20.-The patent for the re-organization of the Austrian armies will not be carried out. THE HERALD'S OPINION.-The New York Herald, of .Thursday, saj-s: The European papers seem to be altogether iu the dark upon the ques? tion of President Johnson's impeach? ment. The London Times, in parti? cular, affects to be grievously dis? tressed lest the impeachment should demolish the Constitution and Go? vernment of the United States. Some newspapers at home, who ought to take a more intelligent view of the subject, talk pretty much in the same absurd way. Now, the fact of the matter is, that there will be very little trouble about it, and it will not turn the country from tho even tenor of its way. The President, wc may assume, will be impeached and re? moved; General Grant and Admiral Farragut will probably bo elected, after a short lapse of time, to thc offices <>f President and vice-Presi? dent; Mr. Johnson will soou be for? gotten, and the affairs of the country will go on in their accustomed chan? nels, prospering and to prosper. The English press foresaw in the J?te rebellion the downfall of our Go? vernment and institutions, because, perhaps, the wish was father to the thought; and they were greatly as? tonished to lind that wo put down the rebellion and preserved the Go? vernment. Put they v? ill be more astonished at the result of this im? peachment business; for it will not in the least affect or imperil our in? stitutions. It is a curious and entirely novel episode in our history, it is true, though not without precedent in France and England; butit will come, go and be forgotten without impeding the prosperity of thc Country. - ? COLLATERAL BRANCH.-At last ad? vices the negro convention, recently assembled at Washington, had not been dissolved into its original ele? ments. It is now said that its ses? sions will be prolonged, at thc request of the radical leaders, until after the impeachment trial, as thc presence of such a body, while that interesting drama is being gone through with, will, it is thought, strengthen the spinal column of the party, and give great moral weight to the movement. Indeed, it has been whispered in con? fidential circles that Mr. Stevens, who was recently a candidate for United States Senator from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has in serious contemplation the intro? duction into the House, at an early day, of a measure recognizing the colored convention as a collateral branch of thc legislative department of the National Government, and pro? viding that its existence shall bc co? equal with that of the Fortieth Con? gress, which will meet on the 1th ol March ensuing, and sit, sans inter? mission, for tlie period of two years. This, however, may be a "bioodv copperhead lie," and we tell it simp]} as 'twas told to us. [Atlanta Intelligence)'. PENNSYLVANIA NOT A REPUBLIC. - Mr. Thad. Stevens, in a speech in tin House, this week, made an appeal ii behalf of the State of Pennsylvania whose Legislature did not elect hin Senator. Mr. Stevens said: "I deni that the State of Pennsylvania ii a iepnblic. * Iwisl this Congress would take it in bane and make it a republic." Heretofon we would have been prepared to bea: that Mr. Stevens considered Pennsyl vania the greatest republic on earth and he cert.duly declared, before tin late Sonatorialolection,- that its Legis lature was composed of "pure men.' Why, then, is an appeal to Congres necessary to take thc State in hand It looks as if Mr. Stevens was in tin same category of politicians of a likt school with himself in this State who never discovered any absence o the republican element in tho Stat Government until they were out o office. There is as much sense ii calling on Congress in the one eas as the other, and equal probability o that body attempting sr> high-hande< and revolutionary a measure with th one State as the other. NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATIC CON? VENTION.-The Democratic Stat Convention met in Concord, N. li. on tho 16th. About 500 delegate were present. Hon. John G. Sin clair was renominated for Governo by acclamation. A series of r?solu tions were adopted. The first ap proves of holding a National Unio: Convention in New York city; th second says that the New Iiampshir Democrats adhere to their past priu ciples, and insist that thc powers c the Federal Government are limite by the Constitution, and that al other pow< rs aro reserved for th States; the third holds that the righ of extending suffrage belongs to th States alone; tlie fourth declares tba all thc States hove the right of reprc sensation in Congress; the* fifth say that the United States Suprem Court has manifested, by its dcci siens, a respect for the only authority that has legitimate powers; the sixti tenders thanks to President Johnso: for his support ol' constitutions rights. --*.,.->. The Mobile reporters have a quie way of recording tilings. Ono c them opened a local paragraph las. week as follows: "Night before las! Mr. Harrington shot at Mr. Wood son and killed Air. Farragut. Sue accidents as this are not uncommon. MISERY IN NORTH CAROLINA.-Thc following lotter, from Raleigh, is con? firmed by other sources of informa? tion: Those who were once rieh are re? duced to tho hist extremity of en? durance. Large-numbers are depend? ent for the necessaries of life upon tho Young Men's Christian Associa? tion, and the funds of that organiza? tion giving out a few days ago, tlu>so dependent upon it were without food for two days. Others have burned their furniture to keep wann, and. night before last, a woman and her infant were frozen to death. People here have now no thought of any? thing but how to live. Nine-tenths have no interest in what Congress does. But if Congress knew oar real state, they would attend less to schemes for settling our political sta? tus, and try honestly to give us a chanco to keep ourselves alive and get on our feet again. THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU IN MARY? LAND.-The report of Brevet Major Greneral Gregory, Assistant Commis? sioner for tho Freedmen's Bureau for the Slate of Maryland, for the quar? ter ending December 31, 18GG, has been received by Gen. Howard. Tho report states that the condition of the colored people in the State is gene? rally satisfactory, although difficulties arc still met with in securing justice for the freedmen through the civil courts, owing to tho exclusion by magistrates of the testimony of co? lored people. During the quarter, no abandoned property had been in possession of the Bureau, nor have any rations been issued to the freed? men. There has been a decided im? provement in thc interest taken in the education of the colored people, and the schools are in good condi? tion. - -? . Mu. DAVIS" CASK-SOM:: MOVE? MENT .?.<? FOOT.-The Washington letter of the Baltimore Gazelle says: ('harks O'Conor and J. G. Shea, Esqs., counsel for Jefferson Davis, are in the city. Mr. Horace Greeley is also here. It is further known that Mr. Greeley had au interview with the President yesterday, and had in? terviews with Mr. Davis'counsel this morning. From these facts, thequici nunc? have conjectured that the State prisoner at Fortress Monroe is about either to be released on parole or bail, or that his ease is on the eve of being disposed of in some way; audit must be confessed that the facts warrant ?1 fair inferer.ee that this long delayed act of sheer* justice is at last about to be performed. Tin; market for tobacco has been very much depressed ever since thc suspension of sales just prior to Christmas. There aro many reasons which have produced this result. In the first place, the stoppage of tho factories has lessened the demand for consumption in manufacturing, and then tho extreme stringency in the money market has checked specula? tion. To these causes may be added thc uncertainty attending the action of Congress in relation to the tax; all parties seem to be standing 'still, waiting' for some indication as to the course the market will take, aud in the meantime thc farmer has to go without the money which he hoped to realize from thc sale of his crop, or sell at a sacrifice. A CHANCE FOR A CONGRESSIONAL TRAVELING COMMITTEE.-James F. Campbell-whoever that may be writes to the New York Times that he was in Calcutta in July, 1S06, and saw a bet made, and tho money put up, for live hundred pounds sterling a side, that J. Wilkas Booth was alive, and would bc so proved in six months; and that the person who maintained thc affirmative was Lieut. William Marlin Tolbert, of thc Con? federate war steamer Shenandoah. Would it not be well to send a com? mittee of Congress out there to in? quire into the matter? [Richmond Enquirer. Tin: disbursements of the Govern? ment on account of the several named departments, during the wei l: ending the 17th, were as follows: War Department, $2,920,060: Navy, $3-14, 523;Intcrior, $155,843; total, $3,426, .112.

BACK AGAIN.-A citizen informs us that a colored woman, who was kid? napped near this place and carried oil' to Georgia fifteen years ago, reached Haleigh yesterday. It ap? pears that she was sold into slavery and continued in that condition until the close of tho war. Since that event, she has been engaged in ser? vice, saving her earnings until they amounted to a sum sufficient to pay her expenses to this city and leave her something in hand. Of course her old acquaintance received tho un? willing wanderer with many manifes? tations <>i* pleasure, and she is the centre of attraction to people of her own color. - Raleigh Progress.

It will bc remembered that the official returns of the aggregate receipts from ex? cises for each of the last three fiscal years were as follows: 1864, $117, 145,748.52; 1805, $211,129,529.17; 1866, $310,90?,984.17. [Neto York Tims. . . ^> . -r-- . The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, of the 18th inst., advocates tho for? mation of a land company, for thc purpose of furnishing means to the planters of Georgia, and for inducing laborers and farmers from Europe to remove to central Georgia. It fears that, in consequence of thc large migration of blacks from that portion of thc State, that much of it will be? come a temporary wilderness, unless sumo effective means are immediately used to draw a large amount, of white labor in that direction. CONSISTENCY.-Congressman Ray? mond made his first speech this ses? sion in the House of Representatives on Tuesday last, on thc bill for thc admission of Nebraska as a Stute in tho Union.

" The Emperor and Empress, says a Paris letter.- drove out on Christmas afternoon, in an open carriage and four.
