About 11.30 General Lorenzo Thomas, just having been released on bail by Judge Cartter, presented himself at the door and told Mr. Stan ton he wonld like to see him. Mr.) Stanton requested him to proceed with anything he had to say. General Thomas remarked that ' be had come to discharge the duties of Secretary of War, ad in fenm.'ihavlng been ordered to do so by tho Presi dent of the United States.

Washington, Feb. 22.—Mr. Brooks spoke one hour ? and on concluding, he was followed by Judge Spaulding, of Ohio, who commenced by saying that when the Democrats endeavored to scare the Republican members, they were mis taken as to their men. He said that he had from the beginning of the agitation of impeachment opposed the question, but now the President had openly placed himself in direct opposition to the laws of Congress, and now he, for one, did not propose to hesitate to perform his duty and vote for impeach ment. So long as ‘ we submit to these assaults upon Congress there can be no peace, and it behooves every Republican to come up and vote for this resolution. On concluding several Democrats asked when it was proposed to take a vote on this question, and Thaddeus Stevens replied by saying that they wanted a vote before adjourning co-day. Judge Bingham then took the floor in support of the articles reported by the Committee. --- CITY BULbET IN, WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY* Its Celebration in tbe City. The 136th anniversary of thebtrth of Washing ton is being duly Observed in this city to-day. Upon all the public buildings, and, in fact, wherever there is a flag-staff, the stars and stripes are displayed. The banks, public offices and some business houses are closed, in honor of the day, which : has been declared a holiday by Act of Assembly, and this afternoon there will probably be a general closing up. The weather is bright and clear, and al though the wind is sharp and cutting, prome nadingls very pleasant, and Chestnut street will doubtless be thronged this afternoon. The day was ushered in by the firing of cannon and a general ringing of the church bells. • • SOLDIERS OPDIK W.IK OP 1812. ; ijj A meeting of the Soldiers cf the War of 181j| 1 was held this morning in the Supreme Couifc Room. The attendance was large. Alderman Peter Hay. President, wasiin the chair, and John Jr H. Frick, Esq., Secretary, was at his post, Mr. Frick, from the Committee on Memorial; reported the following, to be signed and sent to Congress: The undersigned,citizens of , respectfully . .represent. That the founders of onr government intended its defence mainly to rest on the Volunteers and Militlk, and not upon largo Standing Armies, which are at all times expensive to the people. We therefore respectfully and earnestly ask r that in order to encourage the Volunteers and Jlilltia to prompt and energetic action, and as an act of justice to the survivors of the War of 1812, that nil who served in said war, whether as Soldiers or Sailors, or were actually engaged in action, and the surviving Widows ’ot any who have died, or who may hereafter die, maybe placed on tho Pension Roll of the United States. It now being FIFTY-THREE, YEARS since the termina tion'of said war: while the soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War with Great I/n7aiM,were placed on the Pension Roll in 1818, being only THIRTY-FIVE YEARB after peace was de clared. Besides, ALL the Revolutionary Pen sioners under that Act have since died, and only live in the memory of a grateful country. The soldiers of the late war have been rewarded with a munificence unexampled in the history of nations. . They received, in most instances, bounties hitherto unheard of; liberal pay and sufficient clothing from the government. Cities, Counties and States.vied with each other in con tributing to their comforts—and the nation did immortal honor to itself in thus rewardings its gallant defenders. But how was it with the Sol (tiers oj 1812 ? They did not receive one cent of Bounty. The Volunteers provided their uniforms, the Officers their side-arms, and the Militiamen their clothing, at their mm .expense. They were not paid till four or five months, or even a longer period, after the government alleged they were discharged; whereas the soldiers of the late war were paid when discharged, in par mosey, while those who served in the war of 1812 received de jirm'utetf tiofca for their servicesj’and the ■ privates only EllillT DOLLARS per month. An examination of the list ot members of li The Pennsylvania Association of Soldiers of 1812,” shows* that ntjenst live-sixths of the nnmber are al»v(: eevcutyf-five.:yp.ars ol' age, ;many -above : eighty, aDd very few indeed below seventy. This wul, no doubt, hold good as to the ages of all the old veterans throughout the UnionT From the above data Congress can very readily judge how soon these old veterans will disappear; many of whom have been living for years dependant on the clay-cold charity of their relatives or friends, and some of them have.been and are now inmates of our Almshouses. Witli this statement of facts, Congress cannot consistently refuse placing on the Pension Koll the gallant old veterans of the War of 1812, now on the verge of the grave, anil the Widows of snch as.are deceased.

Atlantic City The few days of spring-like weather which have been experienced have aroused the vital energies of the people In Atlan tic City, and called ont a spirit of improvement which, by the time the season opens, will make many additions to the handsome residences there. Nor are the citizens any less active in their Eatriotism and political labors. The Union eague is the central attraction of the city, for it is composed of the trne and loyal' elements there. On Thursday evening last this organization gave its second annual grand supper, and it was truly an attractive ail'air. The ladies exerted themselves to the most praiseworthy extent in preparing the choice viands, and the gentlemen also did their duty. At nine o clock about three hundred per sons sat down to the table of the Alhambra, and did justice to everything before them. On the removal of the cloth the President of the League, Lewis Evans, Esq., colled the meeting to order, and- after the singing of a patriotic song by the choir, under the able lead of Slri Jonah Wootton, Hon. George W. NVCus tis, of Camden, took the floor, and held the au dience enchained with an eloquent and powerful emcch. Ho was: followed by Messrs. James Buchanan, of Trenton; D. B. Snow of Ham mouton; J; Somers Risley, Surrogate of Atlantic county; Lewis Evans.D. VV. Bellsle, Jonas Hlgbee, Jos. ReedlEdward 8. Reed, Rev. A. J. Gregory, Dr. Thomas K. Reed, and several others, in thrilling addresses, all of which were received with un bounded applause. At intervals soul-stirring Union eoDgs vvero given, which added g reatly to the patriotism of the occasion, arid at a late hour the party dispersed, feeling that they had • eDjoyed a true and profitable ‘‘feast of reason and flow of souL’;'.Tho.Unlon,League of Atlan- tic City is intensely alive to the interests involved in the coining campaign, and will do their duty.

[From the i'ittibursh Gazette'of Feb. atet.l , , Myeterlous disappearances are occurring so frequently of late as 10 demand some measure on the part of the authorities to investigate the mat ter, ahd if, as there is every reason to . believe,. “ foul play ” has been resorted to in any of the recent cases reported, to bring tbo offenders to punishment. Several weeks. have elapsed .since the disappearance of Mr, Freyvdgle,. yet not the slightest clue to his whereabouts has been obtained. -’A week or two later a Mr., Merritt lefthls home in this city, since when nothing has been hcOrd of him, and Saturday evening last a citizen of the Second ward, Allegheny, lefthls home in perfect health, expecting to bo absent but afew ! ’hours, but has not yet returned, nor can his family learn aught of hfe whereabouts. The last case referred to la that of Mr. Robert Kincaid, a' blacksmith, formerly, employed at Mr. Hunter’s black smith! shop, at the corner of Beaver ..street and Gay alley, Allegheny.

There is a great gathering of ithe Democratic leaders front all partßof the country In Washington at, this, time, dancing attendance upon Mr. Belmont and, bis National Executive Committee,, la reference “ to the appointment Of the time ana place for the ; National Democratic Convention. Hsve these gentlemen been pointing out the way to Mr. Johnson, and hro they with, him in these move ments of yesterday? Are these proceedings part of an: arranged Presidential programme Involv ing the nomination ■of Mr,. Johnson? It he difficult to believe that, single-handed, he haa undertaken to challenge directly in Congress the force of alaw of Congress -on the impeachlnenfc Suestion. The Teuureof Office law- ihay be agranfly unconstitutional; but if. the two homes conenr in adjudging a defiance of this law “a high crime arid misdemeanor,” andthat thia re moval of Stantori’, so soon after his reinstate- ’ mentrinder this law, is an act of culpable defiance , of the law, where is the compensation of Air. Johnson? Does he propose to nead off -the im- - peochment penally by an appeal to the Snprems Court? ■ ■. ; *. . * The case a).

While as an official act it Is, inexpli-. cably : stupid, as a political dodge it is easy to etc Mr. Johnson’s motive. The magnates of the Democratic party are now assembled in Washington to fix the time and place—and to a great degree the candidate—of the nCxt Demo- . cratic National Convention. It is qnlte in ac cordance with Andrew Johnson's grade of politi cal cunning to desire at snch a time to makean impression on these gentlemen. They are' buz zing around the White House, ■ and would aor light in any coup d’etat that would either make A. J. available as a Ctesar, or got; him Off their ■: hands altogether. But Mr. John son will achieve no cotip d'etat. Nature, in de nying him the courago proportioned'to c hiA-' vanity,hits made him proof against great crimes. His forte lies entirely in peccadilloes. .

' Wedo notsuppose the President willtralto vet exert his full authority in this form. , .He will probably first apply to the Supreme 1 Court, .who . will summon Mr. Stanton to show by- what au ; thprity he assumes to retain the office from which he has- been removed. There is every reason to believe that the. Court will adjudge the Tenurp-of-Office bill unconstitutional. ... With what face will Stanton go before the Cpurt’ and contend that -the Tenuro-of- Offleo bill iSnotrepugnam to the Constitu tion, vriienlt Is notorious that beheld the con trary opinlop- at ;the time of its passage ?
