I said one bright June marning as he sat at the break fast tabl "Ride Milo?" "Ye-! it is such a beautiful day." "But he wiii throw you. " "Throw me!" And I laughed merrily and inconsiderately. "Say yes. dear Un -1 elf." I continued ceaxingly. "there is no | fear, and I'm dying for a canter." "Yoa will die of a canter then.' he re torted with his grim wit, "for he'll break I your neck. The bor.-e has been only ridden three times, twice by myself and once by Jo-." "But you have often said I was a better i rider than Joe." Joe was the stable bov. "That's a go ,d uncle—now do." And I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him. I knew by experience, that when I did this I g'-n rsi 1 : y carried the day. .My I ne'e tried to h-ok stern; but I saw he was relent ing. He made a la.-t effort, however, to deny me. "Why no: take Dobin? ' he -aid. "I) ,bin!" I cried, Old. -mil paced Dob in, on such a morning as this. One might as well take a rocking horse at onee." "Well, well," he said, "if 1 must. 1 must. You'll tease the life out of n>eif I don't let you heve yout own way. I wi-b yoa would get a hu-band. you are growing beyond my control." "llnmph! a hu-band. Well since you -3y -o, I wiil fo-pin to look out for one to day. "He will soon repent of his bargain."— .-aid my uncle, hut his i-miles belied his words. "You are as short as piecrust, if you cannot have your own way. There," seeing I was about to speak; "go and get ready, while I tell Joe to saddle Milo. You'll set the h;.-u-e a fire if I don't see you off." Milo was -oou at the door—a gay mettle some - lit. who laid his ears back as I mount ed and cave me a vicious look I did not quite like. "Take care," said uiy uncle, "it is not A. LOCAL AND QENERAJ, NEWSPAPER, DEVOTKD TO I'OI.ITICS, EDUCATION. LITERATURE AND MORALS. itoo late to up yet." "I was piqued." I will never give up anything," said I. "never. "Not even the finding of a husband, eh? "No, 1 will ride down to the poor house i and ask cid Tony, the octogenarian pauper, ; to have me, and you wilt be forced to hire Poll Wilkes to cook your dinner." And as I said this there was a mischievous twinkle j in my eyes, for uncle was an old bachelor, who detested all strange women, and held an aversion to Polly M tikes, a sour crtd maid ef forty-seven, because, years ago, she had dto entrap hita iut- matrimony IV fore be could reply 1 gave Miio his bead. John Gilpin, we are told, went fast; but j I went faster. It was not long before the cok had it all his own way, at first I tried to eheck his speed, but he got the bit in his mouth, and ait l could do was to hold on :an i trust to tiring him cut. Trees, fences; I and houses went by us like wild pigeons on j the wing. As long as the road was dear we i did well enough, but suddenly coming to a blasted oak, that started out spectre like ; from the edge of a wood. Miio shied, twisted half around, and planted his forefeet : stubbornly in the ground. I did not know that I was falling, till I felt myself in a mud hole which lay at one side of the road. Here was a fine end to my boasted horse- j manship! But as the mud was soft, I was not hurt, and the ludicrous spectacle I pre sented soon got the upper hand ot my vexa tion. "A fine chance 1 have of finding a | hu-band. in this condition. I said to my self. recalling my jest with uncle. If I could find some mud dried now, and pass; myself off for a mud nvrnpb, I might have some chance." And I began to pick my j self up." 1 help you, Miss?" suddenly said a deep, rich, mauiy voice. I i-oked up and saw a young man, the suppressed merriment of whose black eyes : brought the blood to my cheek, and made me for a time ashamed and angry. But on j glancing again to my dress, I could not help . laughing in spite of myself. I stood in the mud at least six inches above the top of my shoes. My riding skirt was plastered all over, so that it was impossible to tell ol j what it was made. My hands and arm were j mud to the elbows, for I bad instinctively : extended them in order to protect myself. The young man as he spoke, turned to j the neighboring fence, and taking ofi the top rail, he placed it act o>s the puddle,' then puttiDg his arm around my wait, he liked me out, though net without leaving j my shoes behind. While he was fishing these out, which he began immediately to do, I stole behind an enormous oak, to hide i i my blushing face and scrape the mud from ■ j my stocking* and riding skirt. I had managed to get the first a little cleaner, but the last was as thick as ever when my companion made his appearance with the mining shoes, which he had scrap I ed till they were quire presentable, and leading Miio by the bridle. "I'ray, let me see you home, he said." "Ifyou will mount again, I'll lead the colt; and there wiil be no chance of his repeating the trick. I conld not answer for shame; but when in the saddle, murmured something about j not troubling him. "It's no trouble, not the least. ' here-; plied, standing, bat in bad, like a night cav- { aiier and still retaining his hold on the bri ' die; "and I can't reaiiy let you go alone, for i the colt is as vicious as he can be to day. | Look at his ears and the rc-d eyes. 1 saw j i you coming down the road, and expected j i you to be thrown every minute, till I saw j how well you rode. Nor would it have hap-1 pened hadn't he wheeled and stopped like j a trick horse in a ciren.-. I caDnot tell how soothing was this grace- , ful way of exeu-ing my mishap. I stole a j glance under my eyelids at the speaker, and | saw that he was very handsome and ; gentlemanly, and apparently about six and j twenty, or seven years younger than myself. ; I had hoped that uncle might be out in I the fields, overlooking the men; 1 ut as we entered the gates I saw him setting provok ingly. at the window; and by the time I had | sprung to the ground, he came out, his eyes brimful of mischief. I did not dare to stop, but turning to my escort, said : My uncle [ sir—won't you walk in?" and then rushed up stairs. In about half an hour, just as I had dre-.-ed there was a knock at my door, I : could not but open it. There stood my un cle. laughing a low, silent laugh, his portly ' body shaking ail over with suppressed i laughter. "Ah I ready at last," he said. "I began to despair of you, you were so long, and j came to hasten you. He's waiting in the ;ar!or still," he said in a maiieious whisper. You've my comment, for 1 like him hugely, only who would have thought of finding a i husband in a mud puddle?' 1 I slipped past my tormentor, prefering to face even my escort than to run the gauntlet of uncle's wit. and was soon stam mering my thanks to Mr. Templeton, for as such tny uneie. who followed mcdown, had 1 introduced me. To make short of what else would be a long story, what was said in a jest turned out to be in earnest, for in less than six months, in that very room. I stood up to become Mrs. Templeton. How it all came about I hardly know, but certainly did find a husband on that day. Harry—that is the name by which 1 call Mr. Templeton— says I entered the parlor transformed, my light blue tissue floating about me so much like a cloud wreath, my cheeks so rosy, mv eyes so bright, my curls playing such hide and seek about my face, that not expecting such an apparition, he lost his heart at once. He adds —for he still knows how to compliment a- well as ever—that my gay, intelligent talk, so different from the demure Mis.- he had expected, completed the business. Harry wa- the son of an old n ighbor. who had been abroad for three years, and before that had been to college, so that I had nev er seen him; but uncle remembered him at cnce, and had insisted on his staying till I catne down, though Harry from delicacy would have left after an inquiry about my health. My uncle iscne of those who wiil not he put off, and so Harry remained; the luckiest thing, he says he ever did. Miio is my favorite steed, for Harry broke 1 him for me; and we arc as happy as the day is long, for uncle insisted on our living with him, and I told him. at last, I would con sent if onlv to keep Foil Wilkes from eook ing his dinner. To which he answered, looking at Harry; "You see what a spitfire she i-. and you may bless your stars you don't rue the day she went out to find a husband."

BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. APHID 3. 1868. WOMEN AS PHYSICIANS. It is only a few years since women have be gun to look to she practice of medicine as a profession; but tbere are already consid erable numbers of educated capable female physicians. It is believed that there aro now more than three hundred female physi cians in t'uis country, and there is reason to Liieve that in time a considerable propor tion of the physicians in this country will be women. It is difficult to ascertain how many regularly educated female physicians there are in New York, as many women have taken up theprofessioowithotfl having had a regular medical education. Opposition ha- been made, both in this i country and in England, to women practis ing or studying medicine. When Miss Nightingale undertook to prepare herself j for the education of nurses, there was noiu ; stitutioß in England suited for her wants, I and she bad to go to Germany to study. In ] 1856, Miss Mere ton White applied at four : teen of the London medical institutions for j admittance to the benefits of their instruc j tion, but her request was refused by every j one of them, though several were legally ; bound by their charter to receive her. Miss Garret, another English lady, obtain ed admittance to the Apothecaries Hall by legal compulsion, having influence, and means sufficient to secure her rights, but was forced to pay ten times the ordinary fees in order to pass through the course of study. A number of institutions for the education of nurses have been established in EnglanJ, one of the largest of which is in Liverpool; it contains sixty women. No objection has ever been made to women becoming nurses; and it would seem that they should be equally fit to become physicians. In medi cine. as in nearly every other profession, women have had to contend against many obstacles, yet are succeeding in spite of them. Their means of education have been inferior to those afFordc-d to men. and have been made still worse by poor accommodations inefficient instructors, and limited facilities for dissection. Another great impediment in their way is the want of opportunities for associating with other students and dis cu--ing difficult points in their studies, which men can always enjov. Women, having a personal knowledge of their own organization, and thoroughly un derstanding its working and disorders ought, if thoroughly educated, to be even better fitted to prescribe for and cure diseases peculiar to their >ex, than men. who must gather all their evidence from hearsay, or from externa' symptoms. It is sometime.- urged as an argument against women becoming physicians that they have not enough nerve, and would fail in performing dissections and surgical op erations. or in treating serious cases. But it is probable that women well trained have •as much nerve as men. The female nurses | in the English hospitals assist during sur gical treatment as efficiently as men. and women in this country have performed operations of the s< verest kind with perfect success. I luring a very moving demonstra tion by Dr. Wood, at Bellevue Hospital, at which thirty-fire women ard over eightv youne men were present, nearly a dozen of the latter bad to leave the room, but not one of the former cave way. Even- person who has had any medical experience can fecal 1 cases where women in the sick room have ! shown remarkable ability and coolness. In England, Miss White, afterwards an ad mit able phv.-ician. first attracted attention by her skill in setting a broken limb, and vra- advised by her family physician to study medicine. Medicine is perhaps the only profe--ion in which women have assumed a perfect equality with men. Thr-ir charges are the same, and they have in genera! demanded all the privileges and rights of male prac titioners. TIIK PACK A KECOBD. The record of a man's moral and intellectu al life is written in hi? face in such indelible aod -triking lines that anybody tolerbly well skilled in the science of physiognomy can quickly and aeurately mea-ure subtle, unseen character. There is an old maxim that "blood tells," and it does reveal its gentle or boori-h, its virtuous or vicious nature in physical movements of the body, and modes of expression, and also in prevailing aud re lated ideas. So likewise character is perpe tually struggling against the bonds of res traint and pushing out into the broad day : light of actual recognition. By a careful re ticence at the right time, and a sort of negative habit of life, combined with a ,-hrewd management, a man may pass cur. rent for altogether more than his actual value- But sooner or later the muscles of the face and the speaking eye let out the secret of interior life. It is a great study, these human faces looking up from the audience room, the •ocial circle, the slreet, the ear, beaming out an effulgence of sympathy and wornness, or frowing under the rigor of disappoint ment. or flashing our contempt and defiance for the source of their discomfort. The young man who a.-pires to nothing higher than the character of a universal bruiser, may forget that his coarse passions are photographed upon his faoe in such a man ner as that all discerning people can read him through at almost the first glance. We "cannot see ourselves as others see us," and that explains away very much of the im pudence and swager of the multitude, which passes for genuine energy and life. If von would know more of an acquaintance than age, occupation, capacity and temper; if you would inspect the_ secret sources whence he draw? support of impulse and comfort along life's toilsome and dusty highway, look into his face and read the whole ela borate story of his strivings, his loves and aversions, his triumphsand failures. It is all there locked up in fleshy charac ters in the folds and furrows made by the plowshare of time and toil, or the exhaust ing stimulants of license and prodigality. We literally (urn our .-elves inside out through the face. The love, composure, the passion, the unrest, the hav-ed and revenge, the strength and the weakness, the angel and best of our natures, all collect and come to a focus in the face, and make disclosures which no cunning magical arts can conceal. And it seems to us that when the great Apostle said "some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment," be must have been looking into the hypocritical faces of the old scribes and Pharisees. Throughout all her wonderful array of diversity and magnificence. Nature abhors concealment, and this accounts for and magnifies the rev elations of character shining through the human face divine. Mother. —Young man! Thy mother is the best tarthly friend. The world may for get the— thy mother never; the world may persecute thee while living, and when dead, plant ivy and the night shade of slander upon they grassiest grave, but thy mother will love and cherish the while living, and if she survive s thee, will weep for thee when dead, such tear as none but a mother knows how t weep. Love tby mother! THE FEMINISE ELEMENT IN LIT ERATVSB. No penins that deals, with human life ia complete without including both the mascu- i line and the feminine elements. One, away from the other, issues into no living product hut is doomed to die. Xor merely this; one away from the other docs not unfold its own fullest nature; each, by itself, is not only i barren but stunted. The genius which in cludes them both, and develops both, is ; like those plants that have the two sexes in the same flower, in which the blossom that gives delight by iu beauty, gives, at the same time, the promise of coming fruit and of deathless seed. It may Le said that this will hold as well fur genius in woman as in man, and that if genius tn man must include the feminine element, genius in woman must include the masculine element. We grant the position, but we grant it with a certain modification; 1 l 1!I ij that, as the masculine element should predominate in the genius of man, the teminine element should predomidate in the genius of woman; a contrary order is not excellent, hut unnatural—is not delight ful, but disagreeable. Mere emotion and sympathy in woman separate from sound thinking, leaves her a simpleton or a sentimentalist; mere intellect in man, separate from sensibility and intui tion. leaves him a surly cynic or a reasoning machine: but we can hardly tel! which istbe more intolerable, a lachrymose man or a logical woman. The feminine element is not only important in literature for the com pleteness of eenius; it is also important be cause it is by that element that genins ob tains the sympathy of woman; and without the sympathy of woman, no literature that deals with humanity can be said to live. The literature that can last must have common interest for man and woman; but if it lean to either side, it should be to that of the woman; for the life of woman is always nearer to nature than that of man; her in stincts and sentiments arc more primitive; her sense of sex is more vigilant and tena cious; her thoughts are more spontaneous, rapid, and direct; and the whole constitutes an inward character that maintains a won derful unity amidst the numberless varieties of her sex, and a continued identity, which is neither tost nor obscured throughout the manifold changes of history or the world. The literature, therefore, which not only has no feminine element, but still worse, which has no feminine interest, wants the most vital element of humanity. If so it be with simple exclusion, what must it be with the literature which depreciates woman, scorns her, mocks her, ridicules her, and satirizes her? The one she will neglect, the other she will detest. What woman reads Rabelais? What woman reads Montaigne or Bayle? What woman reads Alexander Pope or Jonathan Swift? And, withall the genius of these writers, they can hardly be said to have any living interest in the world. "RETOLI TIONARY SCHEMES." The Newark Courier, under the above caption, gives the anti-war and anti-recon struction party, a series of sharp thrusts, in the shape of historical facts, which all loyal men should make a note of. and try to keep in memory. Ever since the rebellion broke out, the "revolutionary schemes" of the Republicans have been harped on by the Democratic presses and orators. Here arc some of the specifications : When Mr. Lincoln called for 75,000 men it was denounced as a "revolutionary saheme." When Congress passed the conscription act it was called a "revolutionary scheme." When the confiscation bill was enacted it was claimed to be a "'revolutionary scheme." When Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation, louder still rose the din against ' revolutionary schemes." When West Virginia was made a State, we heard about "revolutionary schemes." When slavery was abolished in the Dis trict of Columbia, the Democracy lifted up their hands in holy horror against "revolu tionary schemes. When the abolition amendment was pro pose!. it was a "revolution scheme." When the Freedmen's Bureau bill was under consideration it was a "revolutionary scheme." When the Civil Rights bill was proposed, behold what a "revolutionary scheme" it was. When the second Constitutional Amend ment came up, certainly the revolution was being consummated. When the Reconstruction Acts were passed, each in its order, was a "revolu tionary scheme." When the tenure of office bill was pro posed, there was another "revolutionary scheme." And now the Judiciary act. the supple mental bill, &c., Ac., are "revolutionary schemes," and they are telling us what the next "revolutionary scheme" will be. What is very extraordinary in all this, is, that these Democrats never spoke of nor thought of a single movement of the rebels, from the time the first act of secession was passed, as, a "revolutionary scheme " Their career was constitutional, honorable and gloriou®, while everything on the Union side was "revolutionary. PRIVATE SMOKING. The Round Talk has the following; "The street is not a private smoking room. One man has no more right to void his to bacco smoke into the face of another than he has to void his saliva. If he has; why, in the name of sense? Because the smoke is less disagreeable? That is a matter for individual preserence; and beside, a man has no right to do the least disagreeable thiDg. Why may not a man appear on Broadway with a long stick strapped hori zontally across his backj or with on open package of asafoetida in his pocket, or car rying a pole-cat in his arms, or with his clothes dripping with kerosene oil, or with a rattlesnake coiled arouDd his neck, with as much right as he may smoke there? Be cause it is not customary to carry asafnetida in the pocket—nobody thinks about it; if it only were the custom we should hear a fear ful cry from the smokers themselves. If a man treads upon anothers's foot, he apolo gizes, but he will carelessly void offensive smoke into his very throat, and never think he has done anything reprehensible. If a man dislike smoking he can keep out of the street. But the right of the tobacco hater in the street is equal to that of the tobacco lover; to refrain from smoking in public places is not granting a concession, but not to refrain is violating a right. Upon actual right, without reference to the sanction of custom, a man would be perfectly justifia ble in resenting the smoking of tobacco near hnu as a persona! affront." NEVER hesitate to open an account with a pugilist. Vou can rely on it that it will not be long before he "squaresoff." YOLI'MK (1; NO. 11. I>KINK THE CLE Alt STREAM ? There is the liquor which God. the Eter nal. brews for llis children ! Not in the summering still, over smoky fires choked with poisonous gases. and surrounded with the stench of sickening odors, and rank cor ruption, does your Father in Heaven pre pare the precious essence of life, the pure cold water t But in the green glade aird grassy dell, where the red deer wander-: and the child loves to play, there God brev/ it: and down, low down in the deepest val leys where the fountains murmur and the rills sing and high up in the tall mountain tops, where the packed granite glitter- like gold in the sun—where the storm clouds broods and the thunder storms crash; and away far out on the wild, wild sea, where the hurricane howls music, and the great waves roar the chorus, sweeping the march of God— tJur< fie brews it, that beverage ot life, health giving water. And everywhere it is a thing of heautv —gleaming in the dew drops; singing in the dew-drops: singing in the summer rain; shining in the ice gem, till the_ trees all seem turned to living jewels spreading a golden veil over the setting sun or a white gauze around the midnight moon: sporting in the cataract: sleeping in the gla cier dancing in the hailshower; folding its bright- snow curtains softly about the wintry world, and weaving the many colored iris, that seraph's zone of the sky, whose woof is the sunbeam of heaven, all cheeked over with celestial flowers, by the mystic hand of retraction—still always it is beautiful—that blessed life-water. No poison bubbles on its brink; its foam brings not to madness and murder : no blood stains its liquid glass; pale widows and starving orphans weep not burning tears in it's depths; no drun kard s shrieking ghost from the grave cur ses it in word-of eternal despair; Speak out my friend-, would you exchange it for the demon's drink, alcohol ? AFFLICTION. —A merchant was one day returning from market. He was on horse back, and behind hiui was a valise filled with money. The rain fell with violence, and the good old man was wet to his skin. At this he was vexed, and murmured because God had given him such bad weather for his journey, He soon reached the borders of a thick forest. What was his terror on be holding on one side of the road a robber with levelled gun, aiming at him, and at tempting to fire? But the powder being wet by the rain the gun did not gooff, and the meiehant, giving spurs toiiis horse, for tunately had time to escape. As soon as he found himself safe, he said to himself: "How wrong was I not to endure the rain patient ly as sent by Providence! If the weather had been dry and fair: I should not probab. ly, have been alive at this hour, and my lit tle children would have expected my return in vain. The rain which caused me to mur mur came at a fortunate moment, to save my life and preserve my property." It is thus with a multitude of our afflictions, they preserve us from others far greater, and of longer duration. A WORD FOR NEWSPAPER.—Nothing is more common than to hear people talk of what they pay newspapers for advertising, etc., as so much given in charity. Newspa pers, by enhancing the value of property in their neighborhoods, and giving the locali ties in which they are published a repu tation abroad, benefit all such, par ticularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the meagre sum which they pay for their sup port. Besides, every public spirited citizen has a laudable pride in having a paper which he is not ashamed of, though ho should pick it up in New York or Wash ington. A goodlcoking, thriving sheet help-to sell property; gives character to the locality: in all respects is a desirable public convenience. If, from any cause, the mat ter in the local or editorial columns should not be quite up to your standard, do not ca-t it aside and pronounce it of no account, until you are satisfied that there has not been any more labor bestowed upon it than is paid for. II you want a good, readable sheet it must be supported. And it must not be supported in a spirit ofcharity either but because you fee! a necessity to support it HON. DAVID WILMOT died at his resi dence in Towanda, Bradford county, Pa., on Monday last, 16th instant. He was elected to Congress from the Bradford district in 1h64, and was the author of the famous Proviso that went by his name, which stipulated that no portion of the ter ritory acquired by the Mexican war should be given over to slavery, or organized as slave States. Mr. Wilmot was elected Presi dent Judge of the Bradford Judicial district in 1 >Ol. In 1861 he was chosen to tho Unit ed States Senate to fill tho unexpired term of Simon Cameron who was called to the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln. At the end of two years' service in the Senate he was appoint ed by Mr. Lincoln a Judge of tho Court of Claims, which position he held at the time of hi- death. Mr. Wilmot was the pioneer and leader of the llcpublican party in Penn sylvania, and Slavery's strongest opponent before the war. lie continued steadfast in his faith to the end, and will be remembered as one of Freedom's boldest champions and one of Slavery's bitterest foes. BEAETIFTTL TUOFGIIT.—'The sea is the largest of all cemeteries, ani its slumberers sleep without monuments. All other grave yards, in all other lands, show some distinc tion between the great and small, the rich and the poor; but in the ocean cemetery the king and the clown, the prince and the pea-ant. are alike di-tingui-hed. The same waves roll over all—the same minstrels of the ocean is sung to their honor. Over their remains the same storm beats and the same sun shines, and there unmarked, the weak and powerful, the plumed and the un honored, will sleep on until awakened by the same trump. DOCTOR'S CANES. —It was formerly the practice among physicians to carry a cane having a hollow head, the top of which was gold, pierced with holealike a pepper box. The top contained a small quautity of aromatic powder, or of snuff; and on entering a house or room where a disease supposed to be intections, prevailed, the doctor would strike his cane on the floor to agitate the powder, and then apply it to his nose. Hence all tho old prints of physicians represent them with canes to their noses. GOD has written on the flower that sweet ens the air—on the breeze that rocks the flower on the stem—upon the rain drop that refreshes the spring of moss that lifts its head in the desert—upon its deep chain bcrs —upon every penciled shell that sleeps in the cavern of the deep, no less than upon the mighty sun that warm.s and cheers mil lions of creatures which live in its light— upon all His work.- lie has written, '"None liveth for himself."

TUESDAY, Mar. 24,1868.! Impeachment is the ai! absorbing question in Congress. President Johnson's counsel filed his answer to the articles of impeachment. The docu ment is remarkable tor what it denies, its length, and the misrepresentations it con tains. It is followed up by a demand for thirty daya' additional time in which to prepare themselves for the trial. After listening to elaborate arguments from both sides, the innate refused the request by a vote of twelve in its favor to forty-one against. The Managers of the Impeach ment on the part of the House of Repre sentatives submit their replication to Mr. Johnson's answer. The Managers say that "the House ofßepresentatives of the I nited States having considered the answer in plea of Andrew Johnson, President of the I'nited States, to the articles of impeach ment against him by them exhibited in ihe name of themselves, and of all the people of the United States, reply that the said Au drcw Johnson is guilty in such manner as ho -tands impeached, and that tho House of Representatives will te ready to prove their charges against him at such convenient time and place as shall be appointed by the Senate for that purpose." General Hancock was yesterday summon ed to appear before the Managers of Im peachment and was promptly on hand. He has undergone a lengthy examination, and rumor has it that the testimony elicited was important. Tho General has had a private interview with the Prcsidont since his arrival which lasted some two hours. Rumor posi tively declares that after stating to the President his reason for desiring to be re lieved from New Orleans, that the subject of assigning him to a new post of duty was then dismissed, and it seems highly probable now that General Hancock will receive the com mand of the new military division of the At lantic, comprising the _ Departments of tho East, the Lakes and Washington. It is not yet settled, however, that Hancock will be assigned to this important command, aa it is understood, that he is rather disinclined to accept the condition imposed by the order creating the new division that its headquar ters shall be in Washington, by which the President expects to bring him in conflict with General Grant. WEDNESDAY. March 25, 1868, — The Impeachment Trial occupied both Houses of Congress almost exclusively. The House, which had taken a recess on the_ previous evening, reasembled at 11 A. M. Aery short ly thereafter Mr. Boutwell, on behalf of the Managers, reported the Replication of the House to the President's answer to the charges brought against him. It denies each and every averment made by the President, which traverses the charges brought against him, reserves all advantages of exception to the insufficiency of his answer, and declares that he is guilty of the high crimes and mis demeanors mentioned in the articles of impeachment, and that the House ofßep resentatives is ready to prove the same.— After a brief but animated debate the Re plication was adopted by the House by a vote of yeas 115, nays 36. At one o'clock the Chief Justice took the chair in the Senate, the members of the House attended in Committee of the whole, and the Managers and the counsel of the President were in their places. The Repli cation of the House was read by Mr. Bout well. The presiding officer then stated that the motion of Mr. lleverdy Johnson, grant ing the President ten days further time to prepare for trial, was still pending. Mr. Sumner moved an amendment that the Senate proceed with the trial, and continue it from day to day. The Senate at the mo tion of Mr. Edmunds retired for consulation and remained absent for two hoars. On returning the Chief Justice announced that and order had been passed directing that the trial be commenced at one o'clock on Mon day next, the 30th inst., and which time the counsel were directed to be prepared to proceed. The vote by which this order was adopted was ayes 28, nays 24. THURSDAY. March 26, IS6B, —The Presi dent sent to the Senate his veto of the bill to amend an act to amend the judiciary act passed September 24, 1798, ana for other purposes. This will be remembered as the bill containing the section taking away the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States in certain cases. The veto is very short. The President approves of the first section, which gives collectors of internal revenue the power to appeal any civil action against them as a Government official from the Circuit Courts of the Uni ted States to the Supreme Court. The sec ond section, he says, is incongruous, and not in any sense germane to the other portion of the bill. The right of appeal in all cases to the Court of last resort he considers as of supreme importance. He makes the im portant admission "that the bill not only prohibits the adjucation by the Supreme Court of cases in which appeals may here after be taken, but interdicts its jurisdiction on appeals which have already been made to that high judicial body," thus endorsing the views of Messrs. Trumbull and ilson, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committees of the Senate and House. An effort was made in the Senate to immediately pass the hill over the veto, but at the request of sev eral Democratic members, who expressed a desire to debated the measure, the subject was postponed. A Chicago dispatch says that several of tho State delegations to the Republican National Convention, soon to assemble in that city, have already secured quarters at the principal hotels. The Convention prom ises to calf forth the largest political gather ing ever assembled in this country. General Butler will open the debate on Monday on behalf of the Managers, and he is preparing himself for the occasion. It is believed that no futher time will be granted the President even under the plea of absent witnesses. In the United States Senate yesterday Mr. Stewart introduced a bill to provide a Provisional Government for Alabama, which was referred to the Committee on the Jud iciary. _ To CUBE FITS. —For a fit of passion, walk in the open air. For a fit of idleness, count the ticking of & clock. For a fit of extravagance or folly, go to the work-house. For a fit of ambition, go into a church yard and read the grave-stones. For a fit of repining, look about for the halt and the blind, and visit the bed-ridden and afflicted. AN ABSURD IDEA.— -IIOW exquisitely ab surd to tell a girl that beauty is no value— dress of no value. Beauty is of value; her whole prospect in life niay often depend upon a new gown, or a becoming bonnet, and if she has five grains of common sense, she will find this out. The great thing is to teach her their just value, and that there must be something better under the bonnet than a pretty face, for real happiness, But never sacrifice truth.
