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

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.

. 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?
