Of the life of the late Captain-General some ac count may prove interesting. JOaqumManzano y Manzano was born March 10, 1805', in Albuquer que. Province of Estremadura. In 1827, he be came a cadet of the First Company of the Second Battalion of the grenadiers of the Royal Guard. From 1833 to 1811, he was engaged in many mili tary actions, including - those of' Olazagoitm, Ar faz% ' Lecumberry, Sorlada, Mendaza, Arcos, Castillo .de Guevara. Chavarri, and he assisted in the taking of Forts Ramales and Guardmuilo, of the heights of Villa Real tie Alva ;• surprise of Wanda, Tenon de Manealla, Canada, Fort Segura, Cerollera, Morella and Meras. Ili 1848. being al Brigadier-General, he was made Commander-General of Verga. • June 16th, 1819, he was made Field-Marshal and ,appointed Com-• mander-General of Tarragona. He was Military and Political . Governor of the. Department of Santiago de Cuba (this island) in 1852, and was second incommand of the•lsland of Cuba from 1851 to 18rt9. Returning to Spain, `he was made Captain , General of the Vaseen gadas Provinces, and during the Morocco war bevecupied the same rank in that part of Aragon. In the latter part of the Year 1863 he was made Lieutenant-General, and In 18115 appointed Cap tain-General of Porto Rico, as also 01; the Province of Barges, neither ofmhich he.aceepted: In 1866 ho became Captain-General of Valencia, and a few months after was appointed Captain-General of the Island of Cuba. He was the second Captain- General of this island who died in office; the other having been Don Nicolas Mahy, who '.died July 19, 1822. Death from Foul'Air.

OUR WHOLE,COITNTRY. "CongreSs has the constitutional right to im peach the President for treason. high crimes, and misdemeanor. President Johnson is afraid of no such indictment. well knowing that it cannot be sustained. Indeed, he courts the investigation such accusation must nroduce into his private and nubile conduct. So far. there is. and need be no apprehension of liok'niu. The point of danger is licre—Will the recommenda tion Of Wendell Phillips and General Ben. limier, to suspend Mr. .Tohnson from oltiee until the Senate shall have given its decision on the impeachment be atwmpted to be carried out?" 6 ' "If an attempt shall be matte to oust Mr. Johnson from °thee in case of impeachment. before the. Senate eball have given its verdict. he will resist the attempt with all the power he can command. That is the lone and the short of all e attempted sensation about the President e'oino to i;eize and imprison Congress. He will resist usurpation of his prerogatives by force, if neces sary. He has as much right to do that as he lets to caereise the -functions of• the Presidency, which right cannot be disputed by sane persons." S ,I'TI I BEND, Ind., September - 27.—Your tele graphic correspondent at Wooster, 0., Condenses My long speech there last Tuesday into the fol lowing half-dozen lines: "In regard to impeachment, Mr. C. said he longingly counted the days till Congress would again Meet, when Andrew Johnson would be brought before the Senate for impeachment, and in regard to the threat attributed to the Presi dent that he would prorogue Congress;' he said that Mr. Johnson dare not attempt it, - for well he knew the end would be that his feet would dance upon air, while the law-making power ,Avould coritintmto perform. its functions,,,, These sentiments were received with great applause." That was pretty near what I said; but as, at a time like this, men who are in bublic life desire to be judged on their exact positions,mtiy I ask a brief space in your columns to say that I counted the days till'Congress would again meet, because in twenty days after that time Edwin M. Stanton would go back again to the War Department in spite of the malignant President who sought to expel him from the position in which he had served the country so faithfully; that when Congress resumed its legislative authority, the House, in accordance with the de mands of the loyal masses throughout the land, would be required to place the Presi dent before the tribunal provided by the Consti tution, to defend himself there from the charges of persistent usurpations, and persistent viola tions of the oath which requires him to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed: and that, while I did not believe Mr. Johnson dared to fulfil the threats against Congress now being Ml* by his Washington organs, apparently in his name, yet whoever did dare to destroy the Legislative Department of the Government s by revolutionary lone, whettker President, Cabinet Minister, or citizen, would be tried for his treason, and punished as traitor, with his feet, not like the traitors of the recent rebellion, on the earth, but iu the air.

If the object is to erect foundries, the spongy nature of the boil would make it impossible to get a proper foundation for the buildings except at a great cost, nor could a well of sufficient depth be dug for large castings.

'From the IlarriAairg PatrioL A gentleman who traveled over the Pennsyl vania Railroad on Saturday furnishes the follow ing account Of a singular scene in one qf the cars, and narrow escape from death. While the train from Pittsburgh for Harrisburg was nearing• a bridge at some point on the road, on Saturday afternoon. a Frenchman, respectably clad, whose name was discovered to be Joseph Fournier, a bootmaker by trade, entered the ladies' car, and quietly sat down, remarking - that parties in the other 7ear were trying to get his watch from him. When the news agent passed_ through' the car 'with a box of candy, Fournier wished to buy a package, hut had only five cents, and this being he offered his watch :old pocket book far the box. The news agent made a jocu lar cc mark and passed on. when Fournier laid the above firticks on his seat.-placed his hands on the Lacks of two seats, and breaking the win dow lane with his shoulders.anmediately inniped through the aperture, feet foremost. A member of an; Philadelphia har. Mr. J. H. Wheeler, sit tine. in a scat next behind Fournier, Made an short to cateh him and draw him back, but, from the suddenness of jump, was unable to hold him. Fournier, through the momen- tars chuck, ft ll on his feet and rolled over to the side track. The engine, although running at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, stopped. end Fournier was, s,;en to rise and run a short distance and then &top. As soon as the passengers neared him, he fill on hi.; knees, and erosing his hands over his breast. cried out in tones of the most abject fear. -Kill me, kill me, here I am!" and soon thereafter, "Oh, gentlemen, please don't kill me!" acting as if he were in mor tal dread of some one. His taco and hands were lacerattd from the glass of the window pane and the sharp stones between the sleepers upon winch he fell. The man was evidently insane, and but very little information. besides his name and trade, and that he was on his way to Philadelphia, could be elicited from him. His pocket-book contained a few mine tickets anti Several cards, apparently but a day-in his possession, marked A. 'Pitch schmidt, Amerielm House, Cincinnati." The conductor, after placing him in the cars, clid all in his power : to alleviate his suffering, OW, owing, rifles, 'FM tinier Sankrap idly into unconsciousness, and upon reaching Mifflin station was placed in charge of- the gen eral railroad agent at that place. Altogether, It is an event not likely to be obliterated from the minds of those who witnessed the whole pro ceeding. The 660penings” To-d y and To morrow.

With us, these semi-annual openings have Obtained something of the art and permanency of an institntion. That they exert it palpable influence upon the taste of the times is undoubted, and upon their success the complexion of the season's trade, in . any department, may generally be predicated. The present week signalizes the chief of these autumnal openings. All the le4- lug houses which cater to ladies' wear of any description, have made their announcements. Cloaks, furs, dress-goods, laces, white goods, etc., are thus courting the admiration of the ladies, though the fact can never be ignored that of all theopeniugs of the season Millbury open ings have an acknowledged precedence. The new Bonnet mpt.vt be selected before any other field can be intelligently entered upon either fur explora tion or purchase. "In this deparintontthe magnificent 'opening' of :Messrs.
