THE IMPEACHMENT.-A telegram appears in the Northern papers, from this city, stating that a few days sub? sequent to the adjournment of Con? gress, one of the strongest Republi? can members of tho Houso, who is also one of the leading opponents of the impeachment ino renient, took j occasion to visit Attorney-General j , Stanbery and Secreta; y McCulloch, and during the conversation which j ensued, expressed the opinion of his j associates regarding impeachment. He charged Mr. Stanbery with having done everything in his power to place obstacles iu the way of the ! enforcement of the laws of Congress, and particularly to break down the ! reconstruction acts. "Now, sir," he ! continued, "you must fully and ' clearly understand, that if the Presi- j dent does not faithfully execute the j law we have just passed, the first j thing Congress will do on re-assem hiing will be to impeach him, and I ? for one will exert myself to secure ! that cud." He further expressed the opinion that impeachment would be easily nc I complished under such oircum ? stances. Mr. Stanbery replied, that he felt sure that thc President would execute the laws so as to avoid trou- ; ble, as he was iu great and constant fear of impeachment, aud the more ? so of late, because he has made up his mind, at the expiration of his Presidential term, to return to Ten- : nessee, for the purpose of presenting himself nguiu as a candidate for the United States Senate. Gen. Banks I is said to bo tho member of Congress j alluded to above.-WasJiington Star, j j A convict in tho New Jersey State ; I Prison has recently fallen heir to j j $30,000. He thinks he could enjoy ? ! it better outside. The Rogerville, Ten?e??ee, Fight, . Tho Chattanooga American Union is permitted to take from a private letter, received in that city, tho par? ticulars of the riot at Bogersville, Tennessee, (a brief report of which we had by telegraph,) from which we subjoiu the following: After the speaking was over, the conservatives accompanied Mr. Eth ridge to the old Edmon's Hotel, and in about half an hour, the radical league, numberiug about 300, came marching along. Thoy suddenly fired a vollev-, and commenced firing right and left. The conservatives, though thrown into great confusion by this unprovoked attack, soon rallied aud gave them battle, and put the leaguers, most of whom were ne? groes, to flight. The fight lasted above five minutes, during which time there was one killed, one mor? tally wounded nud eight severely and slightly wounded. The mau who ? was killed was a conservative named j York. The one mortally wounded I was also a conservative. There wore ? five negroes and three Avhitc men | ! wounded. One negro had his leg amputated the same evening, i After their repulse, the radicals ral ! lied on the hill ut Bradley's, but Wm. I Thurman and John Wolf, (both of { whom hail been officers in the United States Eighth Tennessee Cavalry, and j are now conservatives,) excited by ? the death of their friend, gathered up a squad of conservatives, charged np thc hill and routed the leaguers, again wounding one of thom, and ' capturing the league Hag and about a i dozen guns and pistols. The writer says that the times are j now worse than they were dnriug the war, or in 1801, but the dissensions are chiefly among the Union men, us radicals und conservatives. He thinks there will be a terrible time on thc day of election, unless some steps are taken by the authorities to prevent it. He says that the fight was com? menced by the negro league of Bo? gersville, who fired the first shot, and were doubtless instructed to do so by some white man of that County or town. Most of the negroes were armed with new pistols, which looks very suspicious. They fired a whole volley at Thurman, Wolf and Thos. Cain, (who were officers of tho Union army during the war,) but luckily did not touch either of them. It is vory strange that no more were hurt, as there were at least 500 men in the fight or on the ground. THE LATH CONVENTION.-A corres? pondent of the New York Tim's, writing to that paper conceruiug the iate Union Republican Convention, says : After a three days bitting, the Union Republican Convention has to-night completed its work. It has embodied its principles in a platform; it has organized its committees, and tho party may now be said to be on its legs* before the State and the country. Tho members are almost unanimously well satisfied with their work, and they express the utmost confidence in their ability, on the basis here laid down, to carry the State of South Carolina. But whe? ther they have planted things like to last I know not; whether what they have raised is destined to provo really a platform, or only n scaffolding for a platform, or mere waste lumber, remains to be seen. It is clean and cleai: and out and out radical. But it is quite certain that outside of those who Lave taken part in this movement is a large body of Repub? licans, including many of the moet respectable and intelligent and influ? ential men of the party, who have not united with those who have come to Columbia, but have stood aloof to await the upshot of tho thing. It may be that they will now take tho opportunity to form a distinct oigani zatiou, in which case the Columbia Convention will have played into their hands by the adoption of a platform that is censorious in it? cha? racter, that contemplates indirect confiscation, and that is likely to di? vide the State sharply on the line of race. It may be, on tho other hand -and it is so claimed by the radical leaders here-that the Columbia or? ganization will show such strength as to draw all these moderate Republi? cans to it. Quien sah'-. Things are altogether too chaotic yet to tell. Ristori is studying her new role of Mario Autoiuette, in which she will appear in New York in September. The costumes aro copied from the originals found at Versailles. . MEETING AT MARION.-Gen. B. K. Scott, Commissioner of the Freed? men's Bureau for this State, ad? dressed a meeting of the freedmen, at Marion, on Saturday ' last. The Crescent says: He spoke of the poverty of the ! country, scarcity of provisions, the causes which produced it, und show? ing them the only remedy by which to extricate themselves from theso difficulties. Poor land and poor labor, he said, would keep them in a I state of poverty. He poiuted them to the rich plantations of the West, where the laborer is richly remune? rated for his services, and where tho tiller of the soil reaps a rich reward for his labor, and is thereby enabled to pay his employees good wages. It is there they must seek to *nise themselves from poverty and want, and consequently from ignorance. Here they can hope to make only a scanty support for themselves and families; there thej' can accumn'ate wealth and independence. Ho alluded to tue vagary of social equality entertained by sumo, and in lew remarks showed the impracti? cability of suoli a thing, not enly be? tween tL'? different races, but also be? tween thole of the same race and color. This is a matter outside o? the law. which, in every ago and country, must regulate itself. It evei has been, and ever will be, left foi each person to choose his own com? panion. Ho also told them that they must no longer look to the Government 01 to thc charity of the Northern people for support, but must learn to be ? self-sustaining institution. A WIDE PLATFORM.-The Char lottesville (Va.) Chronicle says tlu following are the planks of its plat form : "We are in favor of railroads, fret trade, a gold and silver currency low taxes, ships, canals, steam ma chinery, patent wringers, rifled can non, photography, solidified milk newspapers, gas and eongre.ssiona singing. "We are opposed t?test oaths, t< Poland, Ireland and all forms o oppression; to standing armies, pass ports, juries, tax on paper, pol?tica disfranchisement, sectional tyranny military government, kerosene, sta; laws, hoops, usury laws, free tickets and chewing tobacco." THE PRESIDENT AND GEN. SHERI DAN.-Tho National Intelligencer, re ferring to the contingency heretofor expressed by that journal of tho re moval of Gen. Sheridan, says tba such an act would violate no prov slons of any of the reconstruct io nets, but, on the contrary, a prov: sion having the object of preventin the President from replacing th military commanders by others, wa incorporated in the House bill, br failed to receive the approval of Coi gress. The object of that body bein alleged to be the pacification of th Union, if the conduct of any Genen in the South tends to discord and hi tred, is it not, the Intelligencer ask the imperative duty of the Presider to sec that all tho laws are faithfull executed, and that the true intei tion of Congress, in this behulf, sha not be disregarded or prevented? .-??-> Yorn IDCTY.-Pointed and trul the New Orleans Picayune nay Have yon registered?

The World has a humorous article ou the facts recently set forth in the auuual report of the Registrar-Gene? ral of Scotland, showing the superior longevity of married men over bach? elors. The World wants to know if bigamists cannot make a better show of vital statistics than the husbands of one wife per mau, and thinks Brig? ham Young's chances of terrestrial immortality are exceedingly promis? ing. Escobedo's Gospel of Vengeance has been published in full, and is even more horrible than it was first represented. He is iu favor of "maki-f cleau work of the detested 'Gringos,' " seizing all the property of foreiguers, shooting aud hanging traitors, and other obnoxious people, ad libitum, and making tho country generally so insufferable that nobody but a Mexican will live in it. Co-OPEB.vnox.-We entirely agree with the Charlottesville Chronicle iu exonerating many gentlemen whom we know of from any but patriotic motives iu "co-operating" with the dominant party in the national Con? gress.

FRENCHY.-The French papers have various terms to define th J death of Maximilian. The Moniteur calls it an assassination: the Epoque, a crime; the Journal, a lamentable denoue? ment; the Opinion, a catastrophe; the Union, au outrage; the Avenir, an execution; the Liberte, n blunder. The last is considered the worst. A fire occurred in Charleston, yes? terday morning, in the brick building corner Broad and King streets, occu? pied as a grocery store by D. Midler. The building was only slightly da? maged, but the stock of goods was materially injured; the entire loss was ci vered by insurance. New Orleans has determiued to issue city bonds, bearing interest and maturing in twenty-five years, for the purpose of redeeming its depre? ciated city currency.
