LOVED TOO LATE
Far off In the dim and desolate Past—
That shoreless and sorrowful sea
Where wrecks are driven by wave and blast,
tittattered, sunken, and lost at last.
Lles the heart that was broken for me
Poor heart! ,
Long go broken for me!
My loves were Glory and Pride and Art—
Ab, dangerous rivals three!
Sweet lips might quiver and,warm tears start
Should an artist pulsator a woman's heart—
Even that which was broken for me!
Poor heart!
Too rare to be broken for me!
oh, she was more mild than the summer wind
More fair than the lillies be;
Moro true than the star with twilight twinned
Was the spirit against whose love I sinned—
Tile heart that was broken for me—
Poor heart!
Cruelly broken for me!
I told her an artist should wed his art—
That only his love should be;
No other should lure me from mine apart,
I said; and my cold words chilled her heart
The heart that was broken for me—
Poor heart!
Hoplessly broken for me.
I spoke of the beautiful years to come,
In the lauds beyond the sea—
Those years which must be wearisome
To her; but her patient lips were dumb
In silence it broke for me!
Poor heart!
Broke, yet complained not for me
I pressed her hand and rebuked her tears
Lightly and carelessly;
I said my triumphs should reach her ears,
And left here alone with dismal years,
And the heart that was breaking for me
; Poor heart!
Silently breaking for me!
My days were a dream of summer-time,
My life was a victory
Fame wove bright garlands to crown myprime,
And I half forgot in that radiant clime
Tile heart that was breaking for inc—
Poor heart!
Patiently breaking for me!
But my whole liferseemed, as the swift years
• rolled,
More hollow and vain to be;
Fame's bosom at best is hard and cold—
Oh ! I would have given all praises and gold
For the heart that was broken for me—
Poor heart!
Thanklessly broken for me !
Sick with longing, hope, and dread,
• I hurried across the sea;
She had wasted as though with grief, they said;
Your child, poor child—and was long since dead;
Ah I dead for the love of me—
Poor heart !
Broken, and vainly, for me!
Weighed down by a load too heavy to hold,
She died murmuringly I
And I, remorseful and, unconsoled,
I dream of the wasted days of old,
Atli) the heart that was broken for me—
Poor heart I
Broken so vainly for me!
And my soul cries out In bitter pain
For the bliss that cannot be-
For the love that never can come again,
For the sweet young lire I,lmt was lived in vain,
And the heart that was broken for me—
Poor heart!
Broken end burled for me!

Mountain of the Lovers
We forget what book it was, many
years ago, that we read the story of the
lover who was to win his mistress by
carrying her to the top of a mountain,,
and how he did win her.
We think the scene was in Switzer
land; but the mountain, though high
enough to tax his stout heart to the ut
most, must have been among the lowest.
Let us fancy it a good lofty hill, in the
summer time. It was, at any rate, so
high that the father of this lady, a
proud noble, thought it impossible for a
young man so burdened to scale it. For
this reason alone, in scorn he bade him
to do it, and his daughter should be his.
The peasantry assembled in the valley
to witness so extraordinary a sight.
They measured the mountain with their
eyes; they communed with one another,
and shook their heads; but all admired
theyoung man ; and some of his fellows,
looking at their mistress, thought they
could do as much. The father was on
horseback, apart sullen, repenting that
he had subjected his daughter even to
the show of such a hazard; but he
thought it would teach his inferior a
lesson. The young man (the son of a
small land proprietor, who had some
pretensions to wealth, through none to
nobility) stood respectfully looking con
fidently rejoicing in his heart that he
should win his mistress though at the
cost of noble pain, which he could hard
ly think of as pain, considering who it
was that he was to carry. If he died
for it he should at least have had her in
his arms, and have looked her in the
face. To clasp her person in that man
ner was a pleasu re he contemplated with
such transport as is known only to
lovers; for none others know how res
pect heightens the joy of dispensing
with formality, and how dispensing
with formalities ennobles and makes
grateful the respect.
The lady stood by the side of her
father pale, desirous and dreading.—
She thought her lover would succeed,
but only because she thought him in
every respect the noblest of his sex, and
that nothing was too much for his
strength and Valor. Great fears came
over her, nevertheless, she knew not
what might happen in the chances com
mon to all. She felt the bitterness of
being herself the burden to him and the
task, and dared neither to look at her
father nor the mountain. She fixed her
eyes now ou the crowd, (which never•
theless she beheld not,) and now on her
hand and her finger ends, which she
doubled up towards her with a pretense
—the only deception she had everused.
Once or twice a daughter or mother
slipped out of the crowd, and coming
up to her, notwithstanding their fears
of the Lord Baron, kissed that hand
which she knew not what to do with.
The father said : " Now, sir, to put an
end to this murmery," and the lover,
turning pale for the first time, took up
the lady.
The spectators rejoicod to see the man
lier in which he moves off, slow but se
cure and as if encouraging his mistress.
They mount the hill they proceed well;
he halts an instant before he gets mid
way, and seems refusing something ;
then ascends ataquicker rate; and now
being at the midway point, shifts the
lady from one side to the other. The
pectators give a great shout. The
baron, with an air of indifference, bites
the tip of his gauntlet, and then casts
on them an eye of rebuke. At the shout
the lover resumes his way. Slow but
not feeble in his steps, yet it gets slower.
He stops again, and they think they see
the lady kiss him on the forehead.
The women begin to tremble, but the
men say he will be victorious. He re
sumes again ; he is half way between
the middle and the top; he rushes, he
tops, he staggers, he stops but does not
fall. Another shout from the men, and
he resumes once more, two-thirds of the
remaining part of the way arc conquer
ed. They are certain the lady kisses
him on the forehead and on the eyes.
The women buret into tears and the
stoutest men look pale. He ascends
slower than ever, but seems to be more
sure. He halts, but it is only to plant
his foot to go on again, and thus he
picks his way, planting his foot at every
step, and then gaining ground with an
effort. The lady lifts up her arms as if
to lighten them. See, he is almost at
the top ; he stops, he struggles, he moves
sideways, taking very little steps, and
bringing one foot every time close to
the other. Now—he is all but on the
top; he halts again, he is fixed; he
staggers. A groan goes through the
multitude. Suddenly he turns full
front towards the top, It is forward. Yes,
every limb in the multitude makes a
movement as if it would assist him ;
see, at last he is on the top, and down
he falls flat with his burden. An enor
mous shout. He him . won ! he has won !
Now he has a right to caress his mis
tress, and she is caressing him, for
neither of them gets up. If he has
fainted, it is with joy, and it is in her
arms.
• The baron puts spurs to his horse, the
crow' followed him. Tialf way he is
obliged to dismount; they ascend the
rest of the hill together, the crowd
silent and happy, the baron ready to
burst with shame and impatience. They
reaohed the top. The lovers are face to
face on the ground, the lady clasping
him with both arms, his lying on each
side.
" Traitor !" exclaimed the baron,
" thou hest practiced this feat before on
purpose to deceive me. Arise I"
"You cannot expect it, sir." said a
worthy man who was rich enough to
speak his mind, "Sampson himself
might take a rest after such a deeC"
. "Part them!" said the baron. C, "
Several persons went up, not tiled
them, but to congratulate and keeio them
together. These people looked close;
they kneel.4lown they beftd an ear;
they bury . thtildildmiriipor(them: "God

Latest Ghost Ta lk.
The persuasion that the spirits of the
departed occasionally revisit the scene
of their earthly existence is too general
to render necessary any excuse, for an
occasional return to the subject, when
ever the occurrence of some incident of
novel feature,—or the starting of new
theories of explanation,—give promise
of any profitable result. The .olbject, of
this paper is not to advocate the doe
trine that the revisitings just alluded to
are permitted, but simply to narrate
two or three additions to Ghostly Liter
ature.
Very few years have passed since the
occurrence, in a busy thoroughfare of
busy London, of an incident which It I
will be better to give in the words of
the narrator.
" It was on a wild stormy night in the
spring of 1857, that I was sitting before
the fire at my lodgings in Street,
with an open book on my knee. The
fire had burned very low; and I had
not replenished it; for the weather,
stormy as it was, was warm, and one of
the windows had remained, since din
ner,
partially unclosed.
My sitting-room on the third
floor,—one of those q ueerq old rooms
that seem expressly adapted to the oc
cupancy of sprites and bogies. The walls
were panelled to a height of six feet
from the floor, and the cornices covered
with fantastic mouldings. Heavy arti
cles of furniture including a mighty
high-backed chair, disposed indifferent
parts of the room, were lighted up oc
casionally by the flickering gaseous
flame in the grate, which soon aban
doned them to deeper and deeper dark
ness as its aliment grew less.
" In the centre of the apartment there
stood a large round table. Between this
and the fire I sat, as I have mentioned,
with a volume on my knee. It was
upon the subject of the law of evidence,
and to say truth showed small tokens
of frequent consultation. I had lapsed
into meditation, and thence into a state
of dreamy semi-consciousness, when
my attention was attracted by a move
ment of the door, of which, from my
position, I commanded a view. I saw
it, through my half-closed eyes, open
slowly and noiselessly, and the next
moment a female figure entered the
room.
' "It was not a very alarming appari
tion, being nothing more than an ex
tremely pretty woman of about twenty
, five, with light brown hair, gracefully
arranged under a bonnet of the ordinary
fashion of the day. Her features were
perfectly strange to me. They were
regular, and she would have been alto
gether a very attractive person but for
the circumstances that her eyes had a
strange unearthly expression—a look as
of one who had gazed on things immor
tal—perhaps, to speak more familiarly,
a look such as medical science has de
scribed as appearing in the eyes of
criminals who have been, by some
strange accident, torn from the jaws of
death after the hangman had, to all ap
pearance, faithfully performed his
ghastly office. I myself have seen some
similar expression in the faces of men
who have endured awful peril, and have
been, by some unforeseen circumstance,
rescued from destruction when the real
bitterness of death had passed.
"So much was I fascinated by that
peculiar glance, that I sat, like one en
tranced, without power of movement,
my heart alone reminding me, by its
accelerated beat, that I lived, and was
cognizant of what was presented to my
eyes.
"My mysterious visitor advanced to
the table, without taking the least no
tice of me, and removing her bonnet
with the easy natural manner of one
coming home from a walk, laid it on
the table. She then took from her
pocket a little book bound in crimson
velvet, and, drawing a chair to the tire,
seemed to become absorbed in its pe
rusal. In sitting down, she turned her
side to me; and a gleam from the dy
ing fire suddenly revealed to me a
ghastly gaping wound in the right
temple, such as might have been caused
by a fall against some sharp and hard
substance.
"It was now that the conviction
rushed upon me that my silent visitor
was not of this world; yet I do not re
member that I experienced any feeling
akin to cdhsternation. Curiosity and
interest, at all events, were predomi
nant; and I watched her every move
ment with almost breathless attention.
"After I know not what time—pro•
bably some ten minutes—passed in this
manner, the girl seemed to become rest
less and uneasy. She glanced from her
book to the door,—to the window,—to
the mantle-shelf (as though a clock
stood there),—tried to resettle to her
book, but apparently failed; and, at
length, laying it down,' murmured to
herself: " What in the worldcan detain
him ? It is long past his time.'
"She remained, as it were, burled in
thought for a few moments ; then, with
an audible sigh, resumed her reading.
It did not answer, however. It was
manifest that she could not control some
anxious thought; and now, as if taking
a sudden resolution, she replaced the
volume in her pocket, rose, put on
her bonnet, and moved towards the
door. Suddenly she paused, turned,
approached the window, and, seeming
to raise it, gazed steadfastly out.
" The next moment she gave a vio
lent start, and appeared to gasp for
breath, her clasped hands and straining
eyeballs indicating that some terrible
object was presented to her view. Then,
with one loud, heart-broken cry, ahe
threw her arms wildly above her head,
and cast herself from the window !
" That cry seemed to arouse me from
my trance-like condition. I was on my
feet in a second, and rushed to the win
dow. Had my senses deceived me? No
doubt; for it was barely open—as I had
left it. I flung up the sash, and leaned
forth. In the street all was as usual.—
The stream of human life passed unin
terruptedly on. A collected policeman
glanced stolidly up at my opening win
dow, and sauntered by. Two men were
calmly smoking at a window fronting
rope. It was plain they had heard or
seen nothing amiss. Much marvelling,
I returned to my chair and buok • but
little enough of the law of evidence
found its way, that evening, into my
disturbed brain.
" The next day I took an opportunity
of speaking confidentially to my land
lady. Had anything of an unusual na
ture been seen in that house before?
The worthy woman hesitated. Why
did I ask that? I told her all ; and,
moved by a sudden impulse, inquired if
any calamity had occurred in those
apartments which might, to some minds I
account for the strange appearance
had witnessed.
" With a little pressing, the womau
informed me that, -just a year before, a
tragical incident had occurred there. A
young couple had occupied the rooms
on the third floor. The lady was very
pretty, with light brown hair, and was
tenderly attached to her young mate,
who was a clerk in some one of the large
city offices.
" One day she returned from her walk
as usual, and, fearing she was late, ran
hastily up, half expecting to find her
husband awaiting her. He had not ar
rived, however; and, having thrown
aside her bonnet, and set the room in
order, she sat down beside the lire, and
strove to forget her impatience in the
perusal of a book which George had that
day presented to her. Dinner-time
came, and tea-time, but no George.'
Dreading she knew not what, the-poor
girl at last ran to the window, deter
mined to peep watch until he arrived.
For some time she had .been noticed
leaning motionless over :the window
sill. But a new object attracted the at
tention of those whcOvatched her. A
stretcher was borne up the street, upon
which lay a crushed distorted corpse.
It was the young husband. He had
fallen froara steamer's deck, and been
crushed and drowned between the boat
and plet. As they halted at the door
which he had quitted in health and
mirth that morning, a piercing shriek
aittrined the whole. street. The young
widow had flung herself from the win
dew. Her head struck the curb-stone.
She was killed on the spot."
. IA ghostly appearance, under similar
,conditions, was witnessed by the aunt
of a lady now resident:ln London, who
Was at the time on a visit to Canada.
She was about fifteen, healthy in body
a d in was
.;
a4and gifted with a remark
11y;clear intelligence. While sitting,
.‘broad ' day, beneath a cherry-tree
hose • branches overhung a paling at
right angles to her seat, she saw a young
girl come tripping along the paling. In
Wondering how she was . enabled
te - 'keep her footing, the lady
"noticed 'thather tiny' feet were (incased
iii higkeieled — red. morocco slip.
Her dresa Was-of old frurhion,
consisting. partly of the . then obsolete
"negllge!' and a long blue scarf. Ar
rived beneath the tree, the visionary
figure unwound the scarf, secured one
end to an overhanging bough, made a
loop at the other, and, slipping it over
her head, leaped from the paling! On
Witnessing this, the young seer fainted
away.
Subsequent inquiry proved that, at a
period not less than sixty years before,
a girl named Caroline Waidstein, daugh
ter of a former proprietor of the estate,
having been jilted by her lover, put an
end to her life at the spot and in the
manner depicted in the vision.
Instances of the warning dream, In
volving minute particulars, possess a
certain interest. Here is a recent ex
ample :
The father of a friend of the writer, an
old Peninsular officer—he commanded
his regiment at Waterloo—was residing,
not long since, about twelve miles from
London, in a direction where, strange
to say, no railway passed sufficiently
near to materially accelerate the journey
to town. One morning the Colonel
found, among the letters awaiting him
on the breakfast table, an application
from a friend of his, who was engaged
In some business of a fluctuating and
speculative character, earnestly request
ing the loan of a hundred pounds. The
writer resided in Wimpole street, where
the Colonel had often partaken of his
friend's hospitality. Unwilling to re
fuse such au appeal, he instantly trans
mitted by post, a check for the required
amount.
On the succeeding night, his eldest
daughter dreamed that the applicanthad
sustained a reverse of so crippling a na
ture, that insolvency was inevitable,
and her father's money was consequent
ly lost. Bo deep was the impression thus
unexpectedly suggested to her mind,
that the young lady left her bed, and,
going straight to her mother's room,
communicated her dream. Her sleepy
parent merely remonstrated, and sent
her away. But a second time came
back the disturbing dream, and with an
angry force that sent her a second time
to her mother's bedside. Once more—but
with soothing and gentleness—Miss
Margaret was distnissed to bet repose.
However, about four in the morning the
dream recurred for the third time, and
now the young lady fairly got up, dress
ed herself, and appealed to her father,
declaring that she would not attempt to
sleep again, until the truth of what she
now believed to be a warning should
be investigated. The Colonel's interest
and curiosity were aroused. He order
ed his carriage at half past six, and,
taking his daughter with him, started
for Wimpole street.
The travellers knew the habits of their
friend. He never quitted his bedroom
till nine o'clock - , and when, a little be
fore that hour, they were ushered into
his breakfast-parlor, the morning's let
ters lay beside his plate. Among them,
the Colonel recognized his own, which,
under the peculiar circumstances, and
the pressing instances of his daughter,
the gallant officer felt justified in ab
stracting, and placing in his pocket.
Upon the appearance of the master of
the house, the visitor explained, and
with perfect truth, that he had come
thus early to town purposely to express
his very sincere regret that circumstan •
ces equally uncontrollable and unfore
seen, rendered it impossible for him to
comply with his request for a loan.
How these excuses were received, his
tory does not state. One thing, however,
is beyond all question, that the gentle
man's name appeared in the next
I Gazette, and that owing -to liabilities in
regard to which the poor Colonel's loan
would have been as a drop in a well!
Who will deny that here was a dream
fairly worth a hundred pounds?
It may be satisfactory to the lovers
of unexplained marvels to learn that
the number of houses wanting flesh
and-blood tenants, because they are
supposed to be preoccupied by be
ings of a different mould, by
no means diminishes. There is a spot
—a very pretty spot, too—and high
ly accessible to travellers, in which there
is a very colony of such dwellings (to
use the language of an inhabitant of the
district, a "perfect nest of ghosts"), al
beit its name, to satisfy editorial scru
ples, must be suppressed, It might else
have been discovered. with consum
mate ease, in the page of Bradshaw. A
brief residence in that favored precinct
would satisfy the most incredulous that
there are mysteries that baffle his
philosophy. There is another spot—let
us hope that we aresuccessfully working
to windward of the law of defamation, in
mentioning that it is not far from the
city of Bath—which boasts of two hand
some country-seats, each possessed of a
traditionary ghost. The following, re
laticig to one of these houses, which we
shall designate Barton Hall, is perfect
ly true, and occurred but a short time
since, on the occasion of the visitof two
young ladles, sisters, from whom the
narrative is derived. They had retired
to the chamber occupied by both, and
the elder sister was already in bed. The
younger was kneeling before the fire.
The door opened softly, and a woman,
entering, crossed the apartment, and
bent down before a chest of drawers, as
if intending to open the lower one. ,
Thinking it was one of the maids, the 1
young lady who was in bed accosted
her: "Is that you, Mary? What are
you looking for there?"
Her sister, who was beside the fire,
had risen to her feet, and turned to
wards the woman. In the act, she ut
tered a loud shriek, and, staggering
back, fell half fainting on the bed. The
other sprang up, and followed the in
truder, who seemed to retreat quickly
into an adjoining dressing-room. The
young lady entered. It was empty.
Returning to her sister, the latter,
who had recovered from her consterna
tion, explained the cause of her outcry.
The woman, in turning to meet her,
displayed a human countenance, but
devoid of eyes.
The neighboring residence, Jervis
House, is a building some two cen
turies old, and stands in rather extensive
grounds, having, moreover, a large
ornamental lake, in the centre of which
is a small island, without trees. A gen=
tleman who was on a visit for the first
time at Jervis House, a year or two ago,
observed to his host at breakfast: " I
see there is no bridge -communication
with your little island."
"None."
" I thought, too, you told me you had
at present no boat on the lake?"
"Nor have I," replied his friend
"Why ?"
"How then do ladies effect the pas
sage ?"
The host hesitated.
"Ladies !"
mean—"
he repeated "Do you
"I mean, my good friend, that I no
ticed a lady walking on the island, this
morning, so early, that I wondered at
her fancy. She passed entirely round,
and crossed it twice, so that I could not
possibly be mistaken."
" You have seen the Jervis ghost,"
said his friend, curtly. And the subject
was dismissed.
The following has been authenticated
Mr. L. L., one of the best and boldest
members of the famous Midlandshire
hunt, was killed by his horse falling with
him at a leap. 'Helen a widow and one
daughter, a vex& loVely girl. Mr. L.'s
estate, however, passed to a male heir—
a distant cousin—and Mrs. L. and her
dadihter determined to take up their
abode on the Continent.
After a short sojourn to Paris, they
proceeded to Tours, travelling, from
preference, by the posting-road, until,
one evening the picturesque aspect of a
little hamlet, overlooked by a fine chat
eau, induced them to halt there for the
night. They were informed by, the
landlord of the rustic inn, that the gray
walled mansion to the south was the
property of Monsieur Gaspard, a wid
ower, who desired to dispose of it, and,
meanwhile, resided about a league from
the house. Next morning Mrs. L. and
her'daughter passed some hours explor
ing the venerable mansion, and roaming
in its noble but neglected gardens, until
they arrived at the conclusion that noth
ing could possibly please them better.
A proposal was forthwith addressed to
the proprietor. No diffibulties ensued;
and the ladles were quickly installed in
their new possession, as well as, it
would seem, in the good graces of Mon
sieur Gaspard himself, for he paid their'
frequent visits, and speedily established
himself on the footing of an intimate
friend.
He was a man of more than ordinary
talents, having, moreover the art to turn
them to advantage, and it was not very
long before Monsieur Gaspard became
the declared suitor of Ada L.
One peculiarity he possessed, which

had'attraoted lktre. L.'s notice ;
to sudden the of gloom and ablaut&
Dion, against which he manifestly strove
in. vain.. These; however, it as true,'
were , not of-frequent occurrence; and.
with this ' single , exception, all went
merrilythat marriage ball, which, in
about a fortnight, was;to celebrate the
union of the affianced pair. For Mon
bleu Oaspard was an ardent lover, and
gave his mistress no peace until he had
securedAn early day. One night Ada,
fatigued with a walk somewhat, longer
than common, withdre* early to her
chamber, a lofty, spacious apartment,
with furniture of oak and ebony, and
having a large old wardrobe directly
f ani ng the bed. She was awakened by
sounds like the rustling of a silk dress;
and, to her- amazement, saw a young
lady, richly attired in the fashion of a
past period, cross the room, and disap
pear, as it seemed, into the closed ward
robe.
The vision had passed so suddenly,that
the young lady had no difficulty in per
suading herself that Wives nothing more
than a dream, or one of those impres
sions, so real in appearance, that fre
quently visit us on the confines of actual
sleep. When, however, on the next
night, a precisely similar incident re
curred, and still more, when the third
night presented the same image, Miss
L.'s alarm and dismay were fully
aroused. On the last occasion she had
taken her maid to sleep with her, and it
was the loud scream of the latter that
awakened her, in time to notice the re
treating figure.
Cautioning Ur., servant to besilent on
the matter, Miss L. communicated the
circumstance to her mother. Work
men were sent for to examine and re
move the wardrobe, when, at the back,
was found a small door. This, being
forced open, revealed a narrow flight of
stairs, which conducted the searchers
to a ttle vault-like chamber. In one
corner lay a heap of moth-eaten
clothes, and other objects, which
nearer scrutiny proved to be the
remains of a human being, of
which little more than the skeleton
was left. A ring and a locket were also
found, and these, at the police inquiry
which succeeded, tended to the identi•
fication of the remains as those of a
beautiful girl of the village, who, five
years before, had, as it was supposed,
quitted her home with a young soldier
who had been seen in the neighbor
hood.
Monsieur Gaspard was placed under
surveillance; but even this cautious
step sufficed. His conscience had long
tormented him. He acknowledged that
he had seduced and murdered the girl ;
but under what precise circumstances
was never revealed, except to his con
fessor. He was found guilty, but not
executed,—passing the remainder of
his miserable life in the condition,
worse than death, of a prisoner In the
galleys, without hope of pardon.
The Secona Act In the Denims of Im-
peachment.
The second act in the drama of impeach
ment was enacted on Tuesday, when the
following proceedings took mace in the
United States Senate:
While Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, was speak
ing on a bill regulating the presentation of
bills to the Senate, and his return of the
same, the doorkeeper announced a commit
tee of the House of Representatives and
Messrs. Stevens and Bingham entered, and
stood facing the President pro tern., while a
large number of members of the itonse
ranged themselves in a semi-circle be
hind.
When order was restored, Mr. Stevens
read, in a firm voice, as follows:
Mr. PRESIDENT : In obedience to the
order of the House of Representatives, we
have appeared before you in the name of
the House of Representatives and of all the
people of the United States, we do impeach
Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, of high crimes and misdemeanors in
office, and we farther inform the Senate
that the House of Representatives will in
due time exhibit particular articles of im
peachment against him, to make good the
same, and in their name we demand that the
Senate take due order for the appearance of
the said Andrew Johnson, to answer to the I
said impeachment.
The President pro tem.—The Senate will
take order in the premises.
Mr. Stevens was then furnished with a
chair, and sat in the same spot whence he
had addressed the chair.
Mr. Howard addressed the chair, but Mr.
Davis insisted that he had the floor,
having
given way only for the reception of a mes
sage from the House.
The Chair said the Senator certainly had
the door and Mr. Davis said,
Mr. President, I was about to renew my
remarks when Mr. Howard asked whether
this was not a question of privilege.
The Chair did not know that there was
any rule about it.
Mr. Davis—Mr. Piesident, no question of
privilege.
Mr. Howard—l call the Senator to order
and claim that this is a privileged question.
The President pro tem.—There is a ques
tion of order raised. The Chair will submit
it to the Senate for decision.
Mr. Davis—l will Just ask
The President pro tem.—The question of
order must be settled before the Senator
can proceed.
Mr. Johnson—Mr. President, I should
like to know what the question of order is ?
The President pro tem.—The question is,
whether the Senator must give way to a
privileged question.
Mr. Howard said the House of Represen
tatives having sent a Committee, announc
ing that in duo time they will present arti
cles of impeachment against Andrew John
son, President of the United States and
asking that the Senate take order in refer
ence thereto, the message of the House had
been received, and . the subject matter was
now before the Senate. His contemplated
motion was the appointment of a select
committee to whom it should be referred,
and ho thought that was a vest:ion of priv
ilege.
Mr. Davis replied that he had given way
in deference to the universal usage estab
lished by courtesy between the two Houses,
for the reception of a message from the
House. When that message was delivered
he had a right to resume the floor, and the
Senator would not take it from him to make
a privileged motion or any other motion.
Mr. Edmunds thought the Senator from
Kentucky was entitled to the floor, while
he did not admit the propriety, as a matter
of taste, or the delicacy of his insisting upon
it., [Laughter.]
Mr. Davis preferred to settle such ques
tions for himself without regard to that
Senator's opinion or judgment. Had he
been asked to yield the floor, he would not
have hesitated for an instant; but when it
was attempted to take the floor from him,
he denied the right to do it, and the Chair
having decided in his favor, he would now
complete his remarks. They would not be
long. [Laughter.]
Mr. Conness hoped the Senator from Ken
tucky, always courteous, would yield his
undoubted right on this occasion.
Mr. Davis said it must be first decided
by the Senate whether he bad the right or
not, then he would waive it or not as seem
ed proper.
The Chair put the motion, and the Senate
voted to allow Mr. Davis to continue.
Mr. Davis—With much cheerfulness, I
now yield the floor for the purpose Indi
cated by the Senator from Michigan.—
Mr. Howard offered the following reso
lution:
Resolved, That the message of the House
of Representatives, relating tothe impeach
ment of Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, be referred to a Select Com
mittee of seven, to consider the same and
report thereon.
Mr. Bayard had no objection to the reso
lution, but would call attention to the fact
that this was a mere notice that the Souse
•of Representailits intend to impeach the
President. Impeachment could notbe acted
upon until articles of impeachment were
presented, and the Senate had no authority
as a legislative body to act in relation to a
question of impeachment, the Constitution
requiring them to be organized into a court
with the Chief Justice presiding, when the
question of impeachment came before them.
Until that time they could entertain no
motion in regard to it. That court wonl_ci
then be called upon to make its own ord.
under the Constitution and laws. '
Mr. Howard said the oonme pointed out
by the Senator was not according to the
'precedent furnished by the case of Judge
Peck, in the year 1830. In that case, ac
cording to the Journals of the Senate, a
message was received from the House of
Representatives by Mr. Buchanan and Mr.
Henry R. Storrs, two of their members,
and was in the following words:
" Ma. PRESIDENT: We have been direct
ed, in the name of the House of Represent
atives, and of all the people of the United
States, to impeach James H. Peck, Judge
of the District Court of the United States
for the District of Missouri, of high misde
meanors in office, and to acquaint the
Senate that the House of Representatives
will, in due time, exhibit particular im
peachment against him, and make good the
same. We have also been directed to de
mand that the Senate take order forth ap,
pearance of the said James H. Peck,tb ad-
ewer to said impeachment."
And they, without the Senate, proceeded
to consider the last mentioned message, and
on the motion of Mr. Tazewell It was re
solved that it be referred to a' select com
mittee, to consist of three members, to con
sider and report thereon.' Ordered, that
Mr. Tazewell, Mr. Webster audMr. Bell be
the committee. That was a prelipoboary

This, however,' was only the presentation
of the notice always given to the Senate.
Mr. Johnson bad no doubt the pro

Howard) was ;holier: He believed that in
all preceding cases a committee had been.
appointed to tiike Into consideration the
message as were deemed advisable, and
knew no reason why that should not be
done here. Perhaps, however, it would be
more advisable to delay the resolution for
a day, and let the matter be disposed of by
the Senate.
Mr. Conkling, referring to the case of the
impeachment, by the Senate, of Judge,
Humphrey, of Tennessee, suggested that
the words "To be appointed by the Chair"
be included in the resolution.
Mr. Howard accepted the amendment,
and the resolution was unanimously
adopted.

General Great it Farkpeskeigion:
The NeW 'York World, havltig been pre-
Naked thereto, baa instituted a historleal ex
amination Into slime of the military ex
ploits of . General Grant. It shows up his
doings at Fort Donelson as follows, back
ing up Its report by extracts from the most
' approved official and Radical authorities:
Yerliiips ate time has not yet come when
that achievement can - be estimated with the
cool impartiality of history ; bat th e friends
of General Grant, by inviting public atten
tion tolt anew, will cause its merits to be
discussed, anti discussion, in the present
ripe state of Information, will contribute to
a just and enlightened judgment. Oces-
Worts will arise for estimating the other
parts of General Grant's military career;
and as this Is his first great success in the
order of time, as well as the moat brilliant
of them all in the opinion of his admirers,
It fitly enough introdeces the general dis
cussion.
What the public recollection fastens upon
in that really important achievement, is
not any brilliant stroke of strategy, but the
spirited sentence in General Grant's reply
to the rebel General Buckner, which is re
peated by Senator Morgan, and was held up
as comprising the essence of all true stra
tegy, or rather as the all-sufficing substitute
for strategy, by Secretary Stanton, "Ipro
pose to move immediately upon your works."
As the penning of this vigorous reply is
the most memorable thing done by Gen.
Grant iu the Beige of Fort Donelson, we
are obliged to estimate its merits; which,
so far as it has any, must consist in its
soldier-like intrepidity and vigor. This
is a. merit which, depends on circum
stances ; rising with the difficulty and
danger of carrying such a menace into
execution, and sinking to nothing If there
neither is, nor is supposed to be, any dif
ficulty to be confronted or considerable
obstacle to be overcome. Now, in point of
fact, General Grant knew all that had
taken place in the rebel camp the preeeed-
Jug night. A circumstance stated by Mr.
Greeley in his "American Conflict" con- -
elusively shows, not that this was not a fit
reply to be made (for It was eminently fit),
bat that it Is no evidence of greatness of
spirit or superior military vigor. Mr.
Greeley shall state this disenchanting cir
cumstance in his own language: " During
the night, a negro had escaped from the rebel
tines, and given our leaders their first clear
information of the straits of the enemy. Gen-
eral Grant was therefore not surprised at re
ceiving, about daylight the following over
ture." General Grant knew that General
Floyd, the rebel commander, and General
Pillow, the next in command under him,
had given up all hope and had made their
escape; that they had devolved the com
mandwf the fort upon General Buckner for
for the purpose of putting upon him the
mortification of the inevitable surrender,
which was to be uttered the next morning;
that Floyd had taken away with him his Vir
ginia brigade in beats during the night ; that I
.Forrest had escaped with his cavalry ; that
therebelsoldiersremaining were completely
exhausted by prolonged exposure, without
sleep, with scanty clothing, in biting winter
weather; and that Buckner was no longer
able to resist an assault. With this knowl
edge, there was perfect propriety, indeed, in
Gen. Grant's answer, but certainly no
heroism. Considering that he knew that
there was no danger to brave, nor even any
resistance to encounter, that reply has ac
quired a wholly undeserved celebrity. It
is a laurel which must fade and wither from
the moment the fact recorded by Mr. Gree
ley, in his history of the war, becomes gen
erally known.
As nobody remembers anything of Gen
eral Grant's strategy in the Fort Donelson
seige, and as all pretence of any was for
borne by his eulogist at the lime, and its
absence admitted by clear implication in
crying up immediate movement upon the
enemy's works as a substitute which put
strategy to the blush, there is no popular
illusion to correct on this head, like the ex
travagant estimate of the reply to Buckner.
Whatever military merit was displayed in
the operations before Fort Donelson was
due to General C. F. Smith, an able soldier
who had been General Grant's instructor
in the Military Academy, and who, by
some inexplicable jumble, was acting as his
subordinate. That General Grant's mili
tary superiors thought the chief merit of
that siege due to General Smith's an award
of which we have( conclusive proof in the
fact that Grant wasimmediately afterwards
reduced to the position of General Smith's
subordinate. To sustain this statement it
suffices to recite another passage from Mr.
Greeley's " American Conflict": "General
Grant's victorious army, after a brief rest at
Fort Donelson, recrossed, considerably
strengthened, to the Tennessee, just above
Fort Henry, where several gunboats and a
large number of transports, passing down
the Cumberland into the Ohlo, and thence
into the Tennessee, took up our soldiers by
regiments and started them on a new move
ment up the Tennessee. General Charles
F. Smith had been designated by General
Halleck to direct this movement, but was soon
disabled by the sickness of which he died not
long after reaching Savannah, Tenn., and
General Grant was thus restored to chief
command."
Let this fact of the immediate subordina
,l lion of General Grant to one of his own
subordinates after the capture of Fort Don
t elson, be duly weighed. It proves that those
who bad the best opportunities of estimat
ing his merits, and who were most concern
ed to estimate them justly, (their own rep
utation being staked on the success of subse
quent movements,) ascribed the success at
Fort Donelson to the subordinate they
placed over him. General Smith unfortu
nately fell sick and died; and the dis
graceful first day at Pittsburg Landing
showed how great a loss the country sus
tained in his death, and vindicated the
judgment which had been formed of Gen.
Grant. Although Gen. Grant was attacked
by an inferior force, nothing but the timely
arrival of Gen. Buell saved his army from
; total destruction. Forrest, who had escaped
I from Fort Donelson with his cavalry the
I night previous to the surrender, had gone
I to join Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, who
thus bad the means of learning from a very
alert observer the opinion which had been
formed of the military ability of Gen. Grant
by those who fought against him at Fort
Donelson. It is of some interest to know
what estimate had been made of Grant by
capable judges on the other side. We quote
again from Greeley's history of the war:
"Having a spy in nearly every dwelling in
Southern Tennessee,he [Gen. Johnston] was
doubtless aware that the command of that
army had just been turned over by
General C. F. Smith, an experienced
and capable soldier, to General Grant.
so recently - from civil life ; and
he had no doubt of his ability to ac
complish its destruction." Which he was
in a fair way of doing when he fell in battle,
and General Beanregard would have fin
ished the job, if Buell had not arrived just
in time to retrieve a shameful disaster.
We do not propose, at present, to review
that disgraceful Sunday. Our object in re
ferring to it is merely to show that the esti
mate of General Grant by those who fought
against him, and who had the strongest
motives to guage his capacity correctly was
identical with that formed by his military
superiors who did not think it safe to put
him in command of the new movement.
The judgment formed on both sides was
fully vindicated by what immediately took
place at Pittsburg Landing.
It is proper to'say a few words more about
Fort Donelson. Its capture was (Ilke all of
Gen.Grant'sauccesses)achleved by the sheer
force of vastly preponderating numbers.—
The number of prisoners received in sur
render by General Grant at Fort Donelson,
aside lion' the wounded, was only eight
thousand, as estimated by Mr. Greeley,
(although reported by General Grant at
nearly double that number); and Grant's
own force at the time was something like
forty thousand. That the capture was
due to mere numbers is proved by
General Halleck's letter al thanks to
General Hunter, in which he says: "To
you, more than to any other man out of this
department, are we indebted for our success
at Fort Donelson. In my strait for troops
to reinforce General Grant, I applied to you.
You responded nobly placing your forces
at my disposition. This enabled us to win
the victory. The rebel numbers were so
few that they could not relieve their men
on duty, who at last succumbed to physical
exhaustion and not to the strategy of
General Grant. Mr. Greeley says, speak
ing of the time of surrender: " Their
outnumbered, 'roughly-handled force, had
endured eighty-four hours of alternate
fighting and. watching, while suffering all
the hardships of a winter campaign, and
were so outworn as to fall asleep standing
.in line of battle when actually under fire.
Gen. Grant's great achievement consisted
in the. capture. of 'eight thousand of such
wornout, 'unresisting soldiers, with an army
of forty theturand.

successes (of which' his ranks as one of the
most brilliant) wheri.his friends invite at

The lines I Have italicized bind the voter
to one political theory for the •rent of his
life. Such a pledge no intelligent and con
scientious man can give, and there is no rea
son why he should give it unless to perpet
uate in power the party to which he may
now belong. Many men in Alabama are
willing to give near° suffrage a trial. Some
favor it nakedly; some would agree to it
with educational limits. But not one of
these is ready to commit himself to uphold
it now and forevermore. When the Consti
tutional Convention assembled in Ala
bama, a liberal party was growing up in the
State. Though a decided minority, it con
trolled nearly half the newspapers, and
promised to be the aggressive column.
Before the Convention adjourned, it
had driven off all the journals ex
cept two, and all the white voters,•eave the
few who have voted this. week. Of the
25,000 progressive white men who voted to
hold the Convention, not .6,000 have ap
proved its work with 11 - ballet. -its fanati
cism fell on the -infant Republican party
In Alabama like a blight. The white men
in the State who Oppose negro equality in
each and every shape (and three-fourths of
the whole number of whites do so oppose it),
have been encouraged to strain every nerve
to defeat a constitution that, by its own
weakness, invited a complete alienation of
all intelligent and disinterested Republi
cans, and a compact opposition from all
men in the State, except, the negroes and
their candidates.
A second obnoxious article is that regu
lating free schools. The power of making
laws for such schools Is vested in•aßoard of
eleven, one Superintendent of Instruction
and ten members, two from 'each Congres
sional district. One-fifth of the entire State
revenue is to be devoted to such acheols,be•
sides moneys accruing from a poll:tax and
other sources. The educational board is
elected by the people, and it can conduct the
schools entirely after its own ideas. Under
existing circumstances the board would be
elected by the negroes, and it is highly prob
able that separate schools for white children
and black children would.not be maintain
ed. The former must inevitably be, with
draWn from such schools, so the heavy.ap
propriation for education would all be dis
bursed for the tuition of the blacks. This is
the practical view of the subject. If t any
of your readers think that the ineracifhable
prejudice against such schools is peculiar
to Alabama, let him ask the opinion of a
few of his neighbors.
A Hine Submerged While One Hundred
Men Were at Work.
From the Scranton (Pa.) 13egister,l3th inst.
The majority of our citizens were startled
yesterday afternoon with areport that went
flying from mouth to month that the bed of
the Lackawanna river had broken through,
and the Oxford mines, owned by James S.
Scranton, Esq.,
were suddenly filled with
water, and all of those in the mines met
with a sudden death. This report caused
intense excitement, and our citizens flock
ed to the scene of disaster by hundreds. As
soon as possible, we visited the mines, and
from the gentlemanly owner learned full
and accurate particulars.
These mines are situated on the side hill,
in the Fifth Ward, and have been worked
I about six years. The shaft of the mine is
situate about midway of the hill, and when
first opened, the miners worked in a west
wardly direction, and the coal was excava
ted for some distance from the shaft. The
water interfering with the process of taking
out the coal, it was found to be a losing
matter, and twenty chambers were for the
time being abandoned, on account of the ex
pense of keeping them dry. A lower vein
of coal was opened, some thirty feet below
the one abandoned, which was reached by
a five-foot tunnel. The work was recom
menced nearly to the river, and the vein
followed in a westwardly direction, to tap
the chambers that had been abandone
it Miners
ta &l te w s ay st
their work
wor d k at up th w e ar s d a , m as e
time keeps the ground dry. The lower vein
I was opened about two years ago, and while I
the workmen were aware they were in the I
neighborhood of the upper chambers, they
did not know they were in such close proz
' imity to them. We are thus particular in
our description of a map of the mines in
order that the reader may have an intelli
gent idea of the situation and the imminent
danger of death in which the one hundred
men and boys, who were hundreds of feet
below, were placed, when the water came
pouring down upon them.
The accident occurred about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. W. Thomas, who was work
ing at the point where the openin g was made
had prepared a blast, let it off, when, with
out a moment's warning, the water poured
down through the' unnel a 'volume of full
five feet, spreading through the chambers
and dips, and filling them up, as well as
carrying everything before the rushing
torrent. To show its force, a mule was
struck, and turtLed and roiled over as if he
had been a leaf floating on, the surface of
the stream.
Mr. J. S. Lewis foreman of the mines, on
the first intimation of danger, gave the
alarm to the men in the dips, and they made
their way out as fast as possible, many of
them wading in water waist deep, while
others swam to places where they could
gain a standing place. After seeing his
men taken care of he next turned his atten
tion to the mules, and fastened a part of the
twenty in the mines in an upper chamber,
after which be waded to the opening and
was conveyed to the upper world In safety.
Another act of coolness on the part of it
boy is worthy of mention. Daniel Conner,
a lad of some fifteen years, took his mnleto
a place of safety and then escaped to the
tunnel, but remembered there were ten
mules in the stable, and that they would
drown, returned, unfastened and drove the
lot into an upper chamber, and then swam
back again.
After it was supposed all were out of the
mines it was remembered that Con. Carroll
had lost his lamp. and at thetimeof the ac
cident was in one of the extreme lower
dips. He was called, and answering, Mr.
Lewis again went down intothe mine, and
after much difficulty and some narrow es
capes, succeeded in finding the man and
rescuing him. As the two emerged from
the lower depths they were greeted with re
peated cheers from the assembled thou
sands. The mules were afterwards all
safely taken out of the mines.
There was bur one accident, and that not
a fatal one. 'atrlck Hoffman jumped on
the carriage, and as it passed into the
"sump," a kind of reservoir for catching
the water dripping down the side of the
shaft, be had the misfortune to catch his
right QM between the carriage and the
timbers, and the flesh was stripped off
nearly to the shoulder.
About three acres of ground were covered
with water to the depth of five or six feet.
Those present at the mines when the acci
dent first occurred assure us it was a terri
ble scene. Thousands ofpeople' were as
sembled, men, women and - children, and a
large number of them had husbands,
fathers, brothers and sons in danger.
Women screamed and wrung their hands;
little children added their voices to the gen
eral lamentation, while men stood silent
and wept. A. hundred dear odes were many
feet below, powerless, and helpless, and for
aught__ they knew, were already drowned.
When it was ascertained to a certainty
that all were rescued, the scene of rejoicing
was equally as intense. Men laughed, and
wept, and danced; wives embraced their
husbands, and mothers hugged their chil
dren with more than a mother's love.
A lTite loss to the mines is not large, VAX)
probably covering the damage. Mr.Scran
tom infordis us that it will take about two
days to pump out the water, repair tracks,
etc.
Herann Legislation for Ireland.
A new reform bill for Ireland is announc
ed by the English government, and it is
thought that some conciliatory measures,
though not in the most conciliatory spirit,
will , be adopted by Parliament. Conces
sions which are made upon compulsion are
not likely to have a very soothing effect.
-Meese emollient applications to a disease as
chronic and deep-seated as that of Ireland
may produce temporary repose, but nothing
more, For seven centuries Ireland has
bean hernesised as an unwilling captive et

Some idea may ne termed of the extraor

hands in England, at the race-course, from
the fact that by an actual estimate it is found
that between three and four hundred thou
sand pounds sterling are given away every
year as prize money at the race meetings
in the United Kingdom. Of course this
beaks only a very small proportion to the
bets, which at the great races reach incredi
ble stuns. Certainly the Improvement of

he became so mad that he had to shoot him.
The horse was bitten by a mad dog some
eight months ago, and all apprehension of
the horrid disease was entirely bathed,

A new sect has arisen in England,ling

and then leave the matter in the Lord's
hands. Louis Wagstaffe, "a Peculiar
baby," aged fourteen months, was seized a

Several months ago paragraphs went the
rounds of the papers regarding the fracas
at Homburg, between an English member
of Parliament, Mr. Labonchere, and a bo
gus Count Farlnia. Mr. Labouchere's of
fense consisted in his having warned a
young American lady against the Count
as an adventurer. Recently, It was given
out that the Count intended to chastise the
Englishman on the public promenade at
Nice. A large crowd collected to witness
the castigation, and the Count appeared
with a heavy cane. Shortly after Mr. La
bouchore made his appearance without any
weapon, but in the provoking and protect
ing company of the young American lady.
Much walking and counter-walking fol
lowed, but no fight took place.
A Legal Harrlar
A singular case of burglary, involving
the death of the robber, has just come to
light in Platte City, Missouri. It seems
that a merchant, named Boyd, had missed
goods from his store at diffbrent times, and
was unable to account for it, lie discharged
two clerks on suspicion, yet this did not
seem to stop the leak. Circumstances led
him to suspect a lawyer named Charles M.
Boyd—not a relative, by the way, although
a namesake—who occupied a room above
the store. On Saturday the merchant in
formed the lawyer that he would be absent
in St. Joseph that night. Instead of leaving
town the merchant hid in his store with a
double-barreled shot gun, and waited for
the thief. After waiting an hour or so, he
fell asleep, but was awakened by some per
son unlocking the door. As soon as the
person entered the store, the merchant fired ;
and a moment after a second shot was sent
for the intruder. The latter then passed
out of the store, and, as he reached the street,
fell dead. This occurred about ten o'clock.
A crowd speedily gathered, and the dead
man was found to be the lawyer Boyd:—
Soma of the goods formerly stolen from the
store, it le said, were found in the lawyer's
trunk, He was; worth , 5,0011. and the
