Q.—Have you at any time had any con versation or correspondence with the Presi dent of the United States in regard to mil itary affairs' ' or movements, or operations? A.—l had a brief conversation with him on Sunday morning last. Q. —Had you the conversation at his re-. quest?

Q.—Had you any furthor conversation ? A.—No, Sir. That was all that occurred in reference to military operations. o.—He made no reply to your statement as to the change in the affairs of your com mand ? A.—No, Sir. Nothing occdrred be yond that. By Mr. Wilson—Did anything further occur with regard to military matters of any character? A..—No, Sir. That was the only conversation that I bad with him with re gard to military matters. Indeed, I may say, it was all that transpired with regard to any matter except a mere passing re mark. By the Chairman—Had Col. Moore any previous knowledge or expectation that you were to call about thattlme? A.—Col. Moore expected to see me Monday morn ing. g.—What led him to expect you? A.- 11(3 addressed me a note the day previous, saying he desired to see me; that he would call:upon me in person, but that h•was very much occupied. His object in sending for me, however, wns upon an entirely differ ent matter. By Mr. Bingham—Did the President say anything to you whatever about the War Department matter, or the Secretary of War, this morning? A.—No, Sir; Col. Moore sent for me in regard to a personal matter concerning myself. Surely comment on the above is unneces sary. No one can read the tenth article of impeachment and then read the testimony on which it is based, without being con vinced that this whole impeachment busi ness would be the broadest farce of history were there not danger that a set of Radical Revolutionists may make a tragedy out of it for the purpose of subserving their am bitious:designs.

THE EINE LETOWN UNION SA !MATH Smoot..—On the evening of the 22d of Feb ruary a meeting was held by previous no tice, inviting the citizens of Hirkletown and its vicinity, independent of sectarianism, to Inert at the lliukletown Union Church, for the purpose of reorganizing thellinkletown Union Sunday School. The meeting was respectfully attended. One of the Trustees of the House acted as Chairman. A motion was made and adopt ed that a committee of five be appointed for the purpose of selecting the officers and teachers to govern said school. The follow ing persons were appointed, said committee to report on Wednesday evening, the 26th, viz: Samuel Brindle, Wellington Yundt, Jos. Ramage, John Hacker, John Boyer. The Committee reported on the 2i3th of February, and named the following ollicers, who were duly elected : Dr. Isaac Winters, President, David Miller, Superintendent. Mrs. L. J.

The school now being organized, it was announced that it will go into operation on Sabbath, the Sth of March, 1858.

WIDOWS AND WIDOWELS, OLD MAIDS AND OLD 13Acniu.oas.—A patron of the fittelligcnrcr, who has a taste for the collet: lion of statistics, has made certain inquiries which resulted as follows: In East Earl township, this county, there are now living 01 widows and 30 widowers, 20 old maids and 10 old bachelors. In Cier narvon township there are 36 widows, 20 widowers, 33 old maids and 12 old bachelors. Our correspondent fixes the ages of those he styles old maids at 30 years, and of old bachelors at 35. How he arrived at the ages of the old maids we cannot guess or imagine, as that is information which not even the census man 'has heretofore been able to arrive at.

DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.—III view of the limited appropriation of Congress, and the immense demand for seeds, the Commis sioner of Agriculture Suds it impossible to supply any but practical agriculturists, and such persons as are recommended by the agricultural societies throughout the coun try. It Is therefore useless for any other persons than those above mentioned to ap ply to the Department for seeds. SALES OP PERSONAL PROPERTY IN CHES TER COUNTY.-At the sale of German Dick inson, in West Vincent, on the 11th inst., 16 cows were sold, the highest price being $102. ' the lot averaged $BO per head.

Comw'th vs. Emanuel B. Longenecker. Indictment larceny, as bailee of certain ninnies, the property of the prosecutor, .Tesse McCoinsey. Mr. McComsey testified that on the 22d of July, 1. 5 07, he gave the defendant $1,750, with which to go West and buy a car load of horses; witness was to send defendant more money when required, be telegraph ing to witness for it. The money was Gov ernment money, and was in $lOO, $5O, $5O, $lO and $5 bills. Defendant went West and purchased horses, but when they were brought to this city he delivered them to Samuel Groff instead of to witness. Wit- ness asked defendant on several occasions for the money, but was always put off by sonic excuse or evasion. On one occasion, defendant told witness he was willing to settle the way he was charged ; witness said he did not like that way of doing business, and did not keep books after any one. Wit ness gave Longenecker the Money in the evening, about 7 o'clock, in the side room at Mr. Horting's hotel, in this city, and has neither received the money nor horses from defendant since thattime. Witness did not take any receipt from Longenecker, and was not in the habit of doing so. Mr. L. acted as agent, and not as partner, of witness, and received for Lis trouble one half the net profits arising from the sale of the horses, Fry ay Morn i)I 0 urt met at lo o'clock. Judges Hayes and Li bhart present. The jury in the ease of Coin' th vs. Alex ander Hannah, .jr., indicted for mayhem, and also indicted for assault and battery, returned a verdict of not guilty to both in dictments, and ordered that defendant pay three-fourths the cost, and the prosecutor pay the other fourth. The trial of the case of Com'th vs. Em'l 13. Longenecker, indicted for larceny, as bailee s etc., resumed from yesterday after noon. Five witnesses were called for the prosecution, whose testimony was mainly corroborative of that of the prosecutor, Mr. McComsey, reported heretofore. None of these witnesses however were present, when the alleged $1,750 was given to defendant, excepting one who saw some money pass ing between the parties, but did not know what amount passed. Two of the witnesses testified, that Mr. McComsey owned the horses according to Mr. Longenecker's own statement, and that he, Mr. L., was only acting as salesmen for one-half the profits. The prosecution here rested. The defense opened by stating that as the alleged money was given to defendant, as bailee for himself and McComsey, the profits being joint, that therefore defendant was not legally speaking a bailee and could not be charged criminally for larceny. That as the business was that of a joint concern, de fendant Wes as much bailee for himself, as for the prosecutor. A large number of wit nesses, sonic ten or twelve, were examined' for defense, several of whom testified that McComsey and Longenecker bought and sold, as if they were partners; one witness testified that McComsey told him that de fendant was his partner. It also appeared from the evidence that defendant bad ac knowledged, that he owed Mr. McComsey $l,lOO, but not 31,750. And that on the oc casion of the parties trying to make a set tlement, it was stated that defendant had put $Ol5 into theconcem—this word concern indicating that a partnership existed be tween the prosecutor and defendant. Court adjourned until 3 o'clock P. M. Friday d f ternoon.-- Court met at 3 o'clock. The remaining cases which were put down for trial at this adjourned term of Quarter Sessions having been settled by the parties interested, all jurors who were not impanneled, in the case now before the Court, were discharged. The arguments of counsel, in the case of Com'th vs. Emanuel B. Longenecker, in dicted for larceny, as bailee etc., occupied the whole of the afternoon session. The Court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morn ing. Saturday Mo ?Min .-- Court met at 9 o'clock. The jury in the case of Com' th vs. Emanuel B. Longenecker, indicted for larceny, as bailee, etc., were charged by the Court. The jury after being out fb - r about an hour, re turned a verdict that the defendantis guilty of larceny, as bailee of certain monies, the property of Jesse McComsey. The counsel for defendant immediately made a motion for a new trial. District Attorney Atlee and S. H. Rey nolds for prosecution ; Hiester and Dickey for defense.

At the sale of Caleb Mercer, in New Gar den township, on the 19th inst., cloverseed sold at $ll per Inishel ; Buckeye potatoes at $1.75, and oats at 80 cts.; hay sold at $10.50 per ton, and feeding steers at $79.50 each. The coldest weather of the precut winter in this latitude was experienced on Sunday morning the 23d inst. Thermometers in Oxford ranged from zero to three degrees below, at sunrise, which was three degrees lower than at any previous time. OFFICERS ELECTED.—The following:gen tlemen were recently elected officers or the Northern Central Railway: • Directors—J. D. Cameron and William Colder, of Harrisburg; Amos E. Kapp, of Northumberland; Henry Welsh, of York; John A. Wright. of Lewistown; George Small, Benjamin F. Newcomer and Sam'i M. Shoemaker, of Baltimore; Edward C. Biddle, John M. Kennedy, Jacob P. Jones and Wistar Morris, of Pruladelphia. Sub sequently the newly elected directors met and unanimously re-elected John D. Cam eron,lPEsq., as President, and Robert N. Hollins, Esq., as Secretary and Treasurer. Thomas A. Scott, Esq., of Philadelphia was chosen as director, in the place of Mr. Cam eron, elected President. RAILROAD MRRTIIIO.—A. railroad meet log was bold at Fawn Grove, in •'York county, on the 14th inst., the meeting was attendod by the most influential and enter• prizing men of the oonuty, The Ibllowing resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we deem it of the utmost importance that a railroad bo constructed to give the citizens of the lower end of York county, Pa , and the Northern parts ofßal timore and Hartford counties, hid., access to Philadelphia and to the Northern Cen ,tral Railway. Resolved, That wo believe such a road can be built with but little grading and ' bridging. Resolved, That we pledge our energies and means to the completion of such a road A resolution was also adopted appointing a committee to ascertain what amount of stock could be obtained, and to procure a charter. The proposed railroad is to be constructed from the Northern Central Railroad to Peach Bottom Ferry, and from thence through the southern part of Lancaster county to some railroad leading to Phila delphia. It was stated, at the meeting, that the increase in the price of land and the ad ditional outlet to the great slate quarries at Peach Bottom would more than compen sate for the building of the road. The resi dents of the section of York county through which the road passes are displaying corn mendable energy in the matter. Before the meeting adjourned $125,000 was subscribed toward making the road. It is to be hoped that the citizens of the southern townships of this county will manifest a like zeal and energy, and by holding similar meetings aid in the completion of this great enter prise, which will benefit them quite as ,I much as the citizens of the neighboring county of York. RESIONED.—Surgeon Samuel J. Jones, of the United States Navy, it is announced, has resigned his position in the service. Dr. Jones has been a resident of Bainbridge, in this county, but has lately sold his residence and other property there, purposing to set tle next autumn In Chicago, where he has made arrangements for the practice of his profession. Prior thereto, however, he leaves in a few days for Europe, for the purpose of recreation, and also with the de sign of perfecting himself in certain branches of surgical practice by visiting the European hospitals. The medical corps of our navy is being rapidly depleted of its best material, owing to the fact that the high order of talent demanded for the ser vice Is so much more highly compensated ! in private practice. AFFAIRS IN LITIZ.—A correspondent ill Litiz writes as follows: _ . This place is being considerably improved. The Reading and Columbia Railroad Com ,' puny intend erecting a large passenger de ! pot on the lot they have purchased, next Spring. Some new houses are now going up slowly, on account of the inclemency of the weather, and more will be commenced when Spring opens. Mr. Heubener of the firm of Tshudy Heubener, has retired front the firm, and Major Bricker, of Warwick, takes his place, the new firm intend to erect a large and extensive store house along side of the present building, which when finished will compare favora bly in point of beauty toany building of the kind outside of Lancaster in the county. Mr. Bicking, who for many years was pro prietor of the stage line between Lancaster and Litlz, has sold out and removes to Phila delphia In the spring. Linden Hall, under the administration of the new principal is in a flourishing condition. Mr. Freautl, by his urbanity and kindness, has endeared himself to his pupils. Sunnyside College for young ladles, is now completed, anti and makes a line appearance in the centre of the village. Mr. Beckler deserves a great deal of credit for his energy and enterprise and is deserving of success. Mr. Abraham Beck is now having plans furnished by an architect for a new school building, which he intends to erect on the Pike. ANOTHER NEW P.m:Yr.—Edmund 11.

FISHERIES ON THE SUSQUEHANNA.—The subject of the fisheries along the Susque hanna and its tributaries has been of late years attracting considerable attention. They were at one time, a source of great profit to the people dwelling on or near the banks of that river, and supplied delicious and wholesome food to the inhabitants of the country round. Since the construction of the canals however, with the dams that were necessary to create a proper level of water, these fisheries have been almost en tirely destroyed. The Legislature of 18611 passed an act for the building of wiers in the various dams, so as to allow the pas sage of the fish up the river, and Governor Curtin appointed Col. James Worrell, C. E., to superintend and direct the work. He has made a report to the Legislature in which he states that the wier at the dam at Columbia, in this county, has answered its purpose. The companies owning the other dams are interposing difficulties in the way of constructing the necessary wiers, and legislation will have to be resorted to to ef fect the object. What the result of this will be it is impossible to foretell, but the goon effect of the dam at Columbia was made apparent last spring when quanties of fine shad were caught in the Susquehanna, and in the Juniata as high up as Newport, in Perry county.—lnquirer.
