Cable Despauclies. * LONDON, Hay 23.-Sir, Stafford Northcote, Secrotary of State for T-> (fcfo received to-day an official de ^p?Tcu from Gen. Napier, dated Aahangi, May 5. The General had j ant arrived at that place with rear guard of the army. The advance reached Zonlo on the 5th. The native infantry had already embarked for Bombay, and the remainder of tho troops aud stores were being harried forward, and the evacuation of the country would soon bo effected. The wounded are doing well, and the gen? eral health of the army wis good. Hewa Kama. LCHARLESTON, May 27.-Sailed Steamer Manhattan, New York. . T->- --- %r_nm r-*m.- . ?

NEW ORLEANS, May 27.-The Pic? ayune is out in an editorial advocat? ing the issue of a general amnesty proclamation, by President Johnson, and says: "Now is the time, until the ban of political vassalage is re? moved from the thousands of her beat citizens, proscribed by the excep? tions in the amnesty proclamation. There can be no political reconstruc? tion, nor no restoration of the peace, good-will, or civic order, and mate? rial prosperity of society, to the suc? cess and perpetuation of the repub? lic." SAVANNAH, May 27.-The an? nouncement of the overthrow of impeachment, was celebrated in this city by illuminations, fire-works, sere? nados, &o. WASHINGTON, May 27.-Stanton vacated the War Office yesterday. Parties complying with the amnesty proclamation Of September were re? gistered yesterday. This concession adds considerably to the white vote. The keys of the War Office are still with Gen. Townsend. Half the guards have been removed. It is stated that Grant favors Schofield's nomination. In executive session, the Senate referred Schofield's nomi? nation to a committee. Internal revonuo receipts, to-duv, 8329,000. Rumors of Cabinet resignations are plentiful, but nothing reliable. WASHINGTON, May 27.-In the Sen? at?., th6 bill incorporating national insurance companies, passed. Thc resolution, accepting Forney's resig? nation, went ovor, under rules. Seward asked for documents and correspondence, regarding tho Ala? bama claims. Ross raado a personal explanation, regardiug bribory re? ports. Davis' resolution; amended by Rosa, to make tho committee five, instead of three, to investigate cor? ruption reports, passed. Arkansas' admission was discussed to adjourn? ment. Iii the discussion on minor details, no Republican opposes her admission under the Constitution. lu the House, no business of im? portance was transacted. The Hons? and Senato are engaged in unimportant routine. The efficacy of the habeas corpus in tho Wooley caso is doubted-the weight of opi? nion being tbat the House of Repre? sentatives is too high to bo disturbed lu us ueuDerations by this writ. George Prentiss pertinently asks: What Southern mau, not a coward yvp. fool, would give employment or encouragement to negroes voting and actiug in favor of his disfranchise? ment and degradation and the confis? cation of his property to their own uses? How is it to be expected that tho South can, in the present condition of things, be kept up by immigration? If, before the war, the people of the North and cf Europe disliked to set? tle iu the South because in that re? gion the blacks were tho slaves of the whites, will they settlo there now when the whites aro tho slaves of tho blacks?# MONEY FOR THE fRESIDENT.-Mr. Ralph Newton, the J. cw York broker, in his testimony bolero the Impeach? ment Managers, answered affirma? tively to the question wlv cher he was aware that money had been raised for the President. There had been subscribed in New York, ho said, 8100,000 for tho President in case of conviction, aud 850,000 to defray the expenses of his trial in case of ac? quittal. This money was in the hands of a highly respectable citizen I of New York, Mr. William G. Apple? ton, the book-seller. it. uiuboaUue ^j-uwii/ [jupei suives i that, after the recent tornado near that city, stalks of ground cherries wore found, with the leaves green, tho pods yellow and ?iuii perfectly j ripo. This stago of tho plant is at j least four months ahead of this Inti tilde, nor has it attained to that stage oven in our most Southern States, so that it is supposed that these ber? ne.-? must havo been brought from some of the West India Islands, where the storm probably oiiginated. The best way to show that "then* is iib; in the old land yet," is to put , a plenty of coru and other seed into ! it. I PIN AKCIAt. AND C Oil ME HC I Ali. COLUMBIA, S.

Under tho reconstruction laws of Congress, all the male uegroes at the South, whether they took part in tho robelliou or not, are invested with the right of suffrage. It appears now to be a settled fact, that the Southern States are all to be rehabil? itated under these laws, and, ns soon as they have resumed their position in tho Uniou, with their proper representation in Congress, negro votes will play their part in influenc? ing our national affairs, as well as iu shaping the local governments of tho South. We have had doubts of thc wisdom of incorporating into our body politic a largo array of ignorant and depraved Africans, but recently liberated from slavery, and wholly incapable of self-government. Wo have questioned both the justice and the expediency of giving one-third of the States of tho Union over to bar? barism, and setting back civilization half a century or move. But we must submit to the laws, and we aocept thc situation. At the sarao time, wo must insist that the exten? sion of the suffrage shall uot bo permitted to stop hore, but, that at this propitious moment, shall be commenced, in the American repub? lic, the grent movement of tho age tho enfranchisement of nil human beings, saving and excepting only Indians, not taxed. To this end, we call upon Ignatius Donnelly to bring in a bill to exteud the right of votiug to all American females, and to push it through Congress with tho vigor, valor and vim so signally displayed in his recent contest with Washburne. Wo have conferred tho right of suffrage upon negroes, and who will undertake to argue that our educated aud refined American women aro not better qualified to form an intelligent judgment upon political questions, ar.d more capable of wielding the power of electors, to the advantage of the country, than aro the negroes of Africa, who have just been liberated from bondage at tho South ? We select Ignatius Donnelly for this work, because ho has shown himself to be possessed of high principles of honor, great delicacy of feeling, aud laudable ambition. Let bim avail himself at onco of tho opportunity, and introduce the great measure, before Washburne, or any other envious rival, can forestall his action, and he will cast Phillips, Greeley, Pillsbury, Ben Wade, and tho whole set of timid, lime-serving reformer." into the shade, and win tor himself au everlasting and a world-wide fame.-New York Herald. A Troy paper publishes the latest rat st?r}, as follows: "The other morning, a gentleman found in a trap be had set a complete rut skin, and-nothing more! The snap had caught the animal by the nose, and in struggling to escape, ho walked entirely out of his skin. Attached to tho skin were portions of the hones' of tho head, the bind feet, ?nd the whojo tail. Leading from the trap to a hole near by, were tracks of blood." The D?mocratie Meeting on Satur cluy NlgUt. Thc following communication we take from the Charleston Daily News, and we commend it to our renders. It vindicates our own views : Since division of sentiment is espe? cially to be deprecated at the present time among the white men of this State, it is proper to inquire upon whom rests the blame of the incipi? ent discord which is more than threatening us. The complaint of those of the Democrats of this city, who approved tho proceed? ings at the Hibernian Hall, on Satur? day night, is, that they were not represented in the recent Convention held in Columbia. We ask-why were they not so represented ? The vant of t>mo, as alleged, is not a sufficient explanation, for it appears that delegates were present from many sections of the upper country, to which information was much less accessible, and from which there was by no means the same facility for traveling to Columbia. The tele? graph duly informed us of the call, and tho railroad, twice ia every period of twenty-four hours, trans? ports passengers from the one city to the other. We are not defending tho action of those who called the Convention on the score of sufficiency in the time, for we think the haste displayed was calculated to prevent the full amount of good that maj have resulted, and that it was no warranted by any urgency in th< circumstances. But we do content that the people in this city, 01 account of their superior facilities both of information and of travel are precluded, to a greater degrei than the inhabitants of any othe portion of tho State, from urginj this as tho reasou of their absenoe. Again, while we are prepared fe advocate, as strenuously os any one tho propriety of our taking the lea? in political movements, on account o thc greater antiquity of our co ra rou uity, and on account of the fact tba this city is the material and intellec tual centre of the State, we canne, acknowledge this to be n sufficiec reasou for our recusancy in a case i which others have merely boen moi active and zealous than we have bee in the beginniug and forwarding of good cause. Importance in the com cils oi tho State is not a right t which Charleston is entitled by pn scriptiou, but simply a privileg which she ought to uso of herself, L virtue of her inherent snperiorit; on the grounds stated above; auel we aro anticipated in any movomoi by some other portion of tho Stat justice aud common sense demur that, instead of peevishly objectii to their forwardness, wc should mer ly accuse our own dolay. We as why did not this movement origine hero? Aud since, to our shame least, as it appears from the resol lions of Saturday night-it had i beginning elsewhere, why should sense of our own short-coming elete mine us to a uon-complianco wi such action by our fellow-citizens ? iu itself considered, wo are prepar to endorse. Neither is pique a ger rous emotion; nor can any such m row feeling be tho ground of an ? lightened and comprehensive pub policy. And in behalf of those our citizens who, with calmer a more magnanimous considerutic are unwilling to be belittled in t estimation of the State and the coi try at large by such an un wort attitude, we declare that, in our o nion, the ideas which inspirited t proceedings of Saturday eveniug not command the approval of a ri jority of tho white people of tl place, and still less of the i nimbi ta of tho Districts along the con whom, without authority, the rei sa nts assume to represent. Moreover, if any individual, or dividuals-and it is merely possi that this article brings us nearest all to the bottom of thc matter-de that, on account of past services, on account of any fontl estimate themselves or by their perso friends, of the advantages that wo have resultod from their concern this movement, they wero entitlec bo consulted upon the subject-wi out discussing the question at all; eleed, even although we should gr this view to bo over so just, we c tend, nevertheless, that uuivcrsal i cord among the v?ntes of the S at this critical juncture, is too co a balm to apply to their woun spirits. Good and faithful men v the leaders of this movement, the expounders of the princi then avowed; men so good and patriotic that they would never 1: allowed themselves to be influe! by a petty question of precede when the interests of tho State \ concerned. Greater is ho that ru his spirit, than ho that taketh a c and while General Hampton certa possesses tho latter claim to dist lion, it is unquestionable, accon to thc popular est imate of his ch? ter, that, evon nuder temptation great as those which seem to havi fluenccd some of our recusant Dt orats, he would have displayed the former noble and more exe title to greatness. The assembly, nu Saturday ni uot only objected to the Deinoc Convention, on tho grounds al considered, bat by something str tl)nu implication, although not ex? plicitly, they also carped at declara? tions of polioy made by that body. We do not design to enter upon a discussion of the merits of the ques? tion in itself considered, especially since they hare not made an issue clearly upon any particular point; but even though we might think these declarations wrong, it is to be clearly pointed out that the Conven? tion, composed of delegates from many Districts, could speak the gen? eral sentiment of the State at large, more authoritatively than any collec? tion of men from Charleston alono. So that, eveu although they may be right on this point, it is as well that they may be modest in stigmatizing the action of the other body. Above all, we deprecate and lament i'?? dio??id lu?a surii o? captiousness is calculated to excito, and we renew the advice given at the time of the occurrences, by every paper in the city, tu?t Xi would be far better for us to waive miuor objections and petty disagreements, aud to aot to? gether harmoniously, even at tho expense of a little sacrifice of feeling. A CHARLESTON DEMOCRAT. Hlstorlc-ni lacaaon on Impeachment. Whatever be the result of impeach? ment, it lins by no means proved the rapid operation that was anticipated. It is now nearly threo months since the House (February 21) voted to impeach the President. Whilst tho trial may come to an end soon, it may be suffered to drag its slow length along till the close of the President's terni. We would suggest an adjournment of the court till the 5th of next March, when Mr. Johnson will have time to attend to his case in person. It is the peculiar glory of the impeachers, that our country hos produced, in tho President, the greatest criminal that was overseen in the world, and it is mortifying to our national vanity, to think that we should not also have the longest trial. The trial of Warren Hastings, whom Burke impeached, "in tho namo of human nature, of both sexes, of every age, and of every rank, as the commou onemy and oppressor of all," but who seems to have been very much of a gentleman, compared to our groat criminal, lasted nearly eight years. Of the hundred and sixty uoblos, robed in gold and ermine, who walked iu au imposing procession to tho court, on tho first day of tho trial, sixty wero lyiug in their graves when it closed. Another of the strange events wrought by time, was that, iu thc eight years which had olapsed, the managers of tho impeachment had become bit tor political enemies, aud at the close, when their case brought them together, met each other with frigid politeness. If the length of the President's trial could only be proportioned to tho alleged magni? tude of his crimes, the excitomont and agitation which have already broken down several of the members might present a parallel to tho Has? tings case in the proportion of Sena? tors finally "removed" from the scene of their labors. Hastings said of bis trial, that "the arraignment had taken place before one generation, and the judgment was pronounced by another," which, in ouo sense, is likely to prove true of tho impeach-' meat of tho President; for, whatever the judgment now, another genera? tion will revise it, and upon its ver? dict is to depend tho glory or the shame of those who aro engaged in this transaction.-Baltimore Sun. Doa-DAY WISDOM.-Those who aro afraid of mad dogs, may modify their teiTor by learning that Youatt, a well known veterinary surgeon, who has been bitten eight or ten times by rabid animals, says that crystals o[ tho nitrato of silver, rubbed into the wound, will positively pre? vent hydrophobia in the bitten per? son or unimal.
