Look-at the volumes of-all thb philosophers, with all their pomp, how contemptible do they appear in comparison with this! Is it possible that a book at once, so simple and sublime, can be the work of man?" No respectable critic, indeed, from Sthe dayß of Longinus to our own, has been willing to blast his reputation by the denial thatittowers far above all other productions in the high and attractive attributes of thought !• ’ «id style Even the most enthusiastic ad- I mirers of the heathen elassics have conceded F their inferiority to it in the subUme and f beauiful, in the descriptive and pathetic, in i! aignity and simplicity of narrative, in power E aiid comprehensiveness, in depth and variety, of thought, and in purity and elevation of I :IBe these concessions gratuitous, or only mainly complimentary, but such as -..i. truth and justice demand. None of the - boasted monuments of human wisdom can be' compared with this; which has- been reared by the “Father of lights.” Look at its history. Where can any other be found of so great antiquity, and in which events bo .remarkable, either for their greatness or Sf variety, ‘ are recorded with equal plainness, ¥ faithfulness, and majesty—such as the crea tion, the introduction of evil, moral and physical, the origin of the different languages * the beginning of the most anoient nations, and the deluge, with which the present m mineralogies! and geological structures of 5 * onr earth are connected?

AS to the incidents of travel, What reader of taste and feeling, who has followed the much enduring hero of the Odyssey, with growing delight and increasing sympathy, though in a work, of fiction, through all his wanderings, can peruse with inferior interest the genuine voyages of the Apostle of the Gentiles over fiearly the same seas? Iu re gard to the sublime, both in sentiment and style, what could exceed those single strokes of the sacred writers by which the mightiest events are painted, such as “Let there be light, and there was light;” “Come down, O ' Babylon, and sit in the dust;” or those repre sentations by which the perfections and ope rations of the Deity are brought to view. “Great is Jehovah, and of great power; his greatness is unsearchable, his understanding & infinite, marvelous things doth he which yve cannot comprehend!” And as for .poetry, where are tragic strains so mournful ‘"'and tender as the lamentations of Jeremiah, or of David over Saul and Jonathan? Whit could exceed the music of the song of i'mz, f sweeping the chords to the glory of the Holy City? And what, amidßt all 'the effusions of Homer himself, can be compared with Ezkiel’s prediction of the destruction of -'''■Egypt, dr the Psalmist’s representation of V God’s übiauity : “Whither shall Igo from **' thy Spirit ?* or, whither shall I flee from thy presence ?

Shakespeare, ■Br Byron and Southey, are not a little indebted ■rs'-.* to it for some of their best scenes and inspira tions. And had it not been for the sacrod *"■ . associations which it has thrown around Zion and Olivet, Siloam and Calvary, Tasso’s “Jerusalem Delivered” would not have appeared. Neither without ijjß influences would “Paradise Lost,” have seen the Light, or “The Night Thoughts,” “The Task,” and “The Seasons,” have oeen, what Montgomery has declared they 1 are, the only universally and perma nently popular long poems in the English language; for the first three of these, as will lid recollected, are decidedly religious in their character, and the last owes its principal charm to the pure and elevated spirit of devo tion which it occasionally breathes. . It was at this sacred fountain, mainly, that the authors of these celebrated productions wiThoir fancy enriched with its brilliant treasures. - Here Milton received the light which has rendered him superior in majesty of thought and splendor of expression to dafth’s brightest luminaries; -hero Young lit up the fires of his immortal muse; here Oow ner learned to anticipate the millennial bles sedness; here Thomson derived much of his excellence, .especially in the -preparation of ISSSB'* m a, is m :KD Idllfcbeladded, ’ ifffa nwmer .'ffMchTechpsea: ajfflhiß brigjhal pioductKrtiß, in combines ele vation di thongtit, affluence: ; ofimagery, beauty of diction tod ftiyency.bf spintf+i Well haait been eaid that ail the lovere or truth and of ancient song tod ancient I lore, would admire the Bible, and publish its I praises trumpet-tongued to earths end, were it not for the religious doctrine and the moral duties which it inculcates.

States unimpaired, and that eo soon as the objects could be accom pllehed, the war. on the Dartof the Government should cease; and whereas, the President of the United Btates has heretofore, in the Bpint of that declaration, and with the view of seeunng for it ultimate and complete effect, set forth several proclamations offering amnesty and pardon to persons who had been or were concerned in the aforenamed rebellion, which proclamations, how ever, were attended with prudential reservations and exceptions then deemed necessary and pro per,-..rand which proclamations were re spectively issued on the eighth day ef December, 1863; on the twenty-sixth day of March, 1864; on tho twenty-ninth day of May, 186f>, and on tho seventh day of September, 1867; and whereas, the said lamentable civil war has lone since altogether ceased, with an acknowl edgment by oil the States oi the supremacy of the Federal Constitution, and of the government thereunder,and there no longer exists any reason able ground to apprehend a renewal of tho sala civil war or any foreign interference, or any un lawful resistance by any portion of the people of any of the States to the Constitution and laws of the United States; and whereas, it is desirable to reduce the stand ing army, ond to bring to a speedy termination military occupation, martial law, military tribu nals, abridgment of the freedom of speech and ol the press, and suspension of tho privilege of habeas corpus, and of the right of trial by jury, such encroachments upon our free institutions in time of peace being dangerous to public liberty. Incompatible with tho individual righto of the citizen, contrary to the genius and spirit ol our republican form of government, and ex haustive of the . national resources; ana whereas, it Is believed that amnesty and pardon will tend to secure a complete and universal establishment and prevalence of municipal law and order, In conformity with the Constitution of the United States, and to remove all appearances or presumptions of a retaliatory or vindictive policy on the part of the Govern ment, attended by unnecessary qualifications, pains, penalties, confiscation, and disfranchise ments; and on the contrary, to promote and pro cure complete fraternal reconciliation among the whole people, with due submission to the Con stitution and laws— „ . T , Now, therefore be it known that I, Andrew Jobnßon, President of the United States, do by virtue of the Constitution, and in the name of the people of the United States hereby proclaim and declare, unconditionally and without reservation, to all and to every person who directly or indi rectly participated in the late insurrection or re bellion, excepting such person or persons ns may be under presentment or indictment in any court of the United States having competent jurisdic tion upon a charge of treason or other felony, a fell paidon and amnesty for the offenco of trea ■on against the United States, or of adhering to their enemies during the late civil war, with tho restoialion of aU righto of property, except as to slaves, and except also as to any proporty ot which any person may have been legally di vesled under the laws of the United States.

Andrew Johnson. By tbe President: , _ , Wm. H. Skward, Secretary of State. Ihc Impeachment investigation. Tbo report of theCommitteo of the Impeachment Managers was presented to the House on Friday, b\ Mr. Butler. It says: , , . As most of the facts or circumstances to.be in vestigated by the order of the House must ot ne cessity lie in the possession solely of those who ore bound by every motive, personal and politieal, to withhold them, your committee were not unaware of the difficulties opposing themselves to the elucidation of the truth. The vory suppo sition of corruption, upon which the inquiry was based, necessarily presupposed such wielied nc6S in the parties involved, either as aetors or recipients, as substantial to take away all eflicacy in an appeal to their consciences through the sanctity of an oath. Indeed, a glance at the testimony will show so great a recklessness of statement, prevarication and evasion, and attempts on the part of many of the witnesses most nearly concerned in the transactions under examination, and such an evi i aent desire, in answer to the questions put to them, to disclose such facts only as the fear oi being involved in a criminal prosecution for per jury forced upon them, as to render the taking of evidence necessarily a close and oftentimes tediouß cross-examination. , In spite of all these hindrances to the discharge of their duties, your committee believe that they have been able to elicit tacts and circumstances which, carefully examined and maturely con sidered, will develop the fact that there wa3 sub stantial ground for the inquiry ordered by the House, it is only by carefully collecting such isolated facts and acts as could not be covered or concealed, that a satisfactory conclusion can be reached. Learning that many telegraphic messages re lating to Impeachment had been sent and re ceived by the parties supposed to be implicated in fraudulent practices, your committee issued a ehbpama duceß tecum, in the usual form, to the managers of the several telegraphic companies in this city and Baltimore, to produce telegraphic despatches during a certain period, and then di rected the witnesses, officers of the tclcgihph companies, to select such telegrams as were sup posed would throw light upon the investigation. This exercise of an ordinary power, conferred on every justice of the peace in the country who has a case pending before him, was the only seizure of telegrams made by your committee, which has been the subject of much senseless and use less vituperation. ' _ .. Perhaps no better method of presenting the material facts can be adopted than following the chronology of eventß shown by the testimony. It will oe recollected that, when the July ses sion of 1807 adjourned to the' 21st of November, it was understood that among the first topics to I be presented on the reassembling of Congress was tbo report of the Committee on the Judiciary in relation to impeachment. To meet that report it seems to have occurred to the friends of the Pres ident that funds would be necessary. Thereupon, we find from the testimony of George T. Ham mond, of Brooklyn, New York, at that lime chief clerk of the warehouse superintendent, that on the day alter the Novejnhsrdectlon a subscrip tion was takin amonjfibeetnplPJ es of the cus tom house upon thefollowing paper: ‘•YVe, the undersigned, gratultouMy-appropri ale the sum Bet opposite onr names for tne cause of the country, and opposed to the impeachment of Preeidim Johnson.'’ THE PAILY.

The report states that Gen. T. W. Eagan. for merly collector of internal revenue or the Ninth district, New York, was at Willards Hotel, on a day between the 30th of _ March.apd .the 3d of April, having left the President within an hour, ana then ant there wroto down the names of seven Republican Senators, to ,wit: E’essenden, TrumbulL Grimes, Henderson,^ Fowler,- Ross, Van Winkle, and no others,, each of whom ho declared would vote for acquittal, and bet a hat bat every one of them would so vote. He won ho hat on the 16th of May, those Senators so V °luregard to the Chase movement, . the. report B °ioon after the commencement of the trial, Jas- F. Legato, special agent of the Post Office De partment in Kansas and New MoxlQO.camcto Washington on business connected with his po sition. He wassent for, as he testifies, by JN. «• Tavlor, Commißeioner of Indian Affairs, ana uy him desired to aid in procuring votes for the ac quittal of the President, and lor the details of the plan of operations was referred to General Thos. Ewing, who was largely engaged as attorney to contractors in the Indian Bureau, who thereupon referred Legate to Perry FuUerfora furffier ex nlauation of the modus operaudi —Mr. Legato oe ii,,; aesured that he should bo enabled in some lorm to realize a large sum of money either in purchasing goods for the Indian Department or 0l U C poif being referred to Mr. Fuller, with whom ho bad before familiar acquaintance, Mr. Legate called on Mr. Fuller for directions as to the best method of proceeding to procure the acquittal ot the President. Mr. Fuller Informed him, in sub stance, that the best way to accomplish that re sult was to inaugurate a movement to nominate Mr. Chief Justice Chase for tho Presidency, and to interest Senators In such a movement; that it was very desirable that Mr. Pomeroy should be induced to toko part in such movement, and vote for the acquittal of tho President,because Sonator Pomeroy’s vote would be a justification of Sena tor Robb’s In the same direction, whose vote, Fuller assured Legate, could be obtained it ne- C °Legate was further informed that large sums of money could be procured to sustain tnis move ment. Legate being willing, as he says, to make boibo money, consented to enter into the scheme, and agreed to aid it by promising to secure Mr. Pomeroy’s vote, which would excuse Ross. Le gate early learned that the “Chase movement was synonymous with procuring the votes, of Senators by purchase, by money or Executive patronage, or both; and it wub agreed between him and Fuller that lor 900,000, of which $25,000 should be paid down, he would undertake to procure the vote ot Mr. some difficulty as to who should be stakeholder, and whether any assurances could be made that Mr. Pomeroy would take partln the Chase movement. It waß thereupon agreed that Mr. Gaylord, a relation of Mr. Pomeroy by a former marriage, should be brought in as stake holder, It being understobd by the parties that Mr. Gaylord’s taking a part in the business should be taken as a guarantee of the assent of Mr. Pomeroy, whereupon Ful ler Introduced Legate to Mr. Edmund Cooner late private secretory ot the President, and later still then, Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury ad interim. Upon being so introduced, Mr. Cooper entered into a series of negotiations with Mr. Legate to procure Mr. Pomeroy’s vote, and to enable Legate to act nu derstanaingly. uniolded te him the state of the yoto as understood by tho friends of the Presi dent, and the means by which funds might be raised to carry out that enterprise. Mr. Cooper assured Mr. Legate that in addition to the Democratic vote the President was sure ot the votes of Senators Fessenden, Grimes and Trumbull; that he had secured the votes of Hen derson aßd Fowler, and although the latter was embarrassed by some declarations that he bad made “that the President ought to bo im peached,” yet he was sure jof holding Wm ultimately; that the President depended upon tho vote of Senator Spragne “through the influence of the Chief Justice, who was eo violently opposed to impeachment that he could not speak pleasantly on the subject, and that Cooper believed the vote of Senator An thony would follow that of Mr. Sprague. It Is to be remarked here, however, in justice to these gentlemen, that there is no evidence that Cooper pretended that any one else bat the Chtel Justice had approached either gentlemen (Bprague or Anthony), or that ihey had given to anybody any Intimation or assurance on the subject. Cooper also informed Legate, us Fuller had done, that they could have Ross’s vote if 11 was Decessory, through Fuller, but that owing to Ross’s situation in Kansas, it was not desirable that he should vote tor acquittal unless Senator Pomeroy did, except asm last resort. Mr. Cooper luri her said to Legate that money Bhould be raised-for this enterprise, and also to pay Legato and Gaylord for their services, through settling with the whisky men of New York the cases of seizures there and at Brooklyn and Jersov City; that as Assistant-Secretary he bad ordered lists of all tho seizures in thoso dis ticts to be made out, and would send an agent to New York to arrange and settle the cases, an d bavrng procured the list of soizures,which he ox hibited to Legate, he (Legate) was to go over and act ns a friend of tho parties to be settled with, either by himself or Mr. Gaylord, and receire commissions therefrom as a payment for his ser vices in the above explained “Chase movement.

The latest candidate for Ihe favor of the profession is the protoxide of nitrogen.|An American physician named Col ton is now among us exhibiting a scroll which hears the autographs of 27,'000 persons who have inhaled with , benefit and : something more than satisfaction, protoxide of nitrogen, being the so-called laughing gas.. , The JBritUh Midicctl ’Journal; in ’6aymg ;very good word for the new agent, States lhat more persons are dying under the effect of chloroform than the public has an oppor- Junity of knowing. Fatal nuahajis take plaice and are not recorded; inquests sire hot held because in the coroner’s opinion the cose is not very clear, the drug has been properly administered, with due care and judgment, and death has risen from pure misadventure. Two such deaths, it is stated,havo occurred 5n London quite recently, and nothing has been publicly said of them. This is not right; Ihe public are entitled to know the risks they, run by submitting to chloroform, and to bave the means of comparing the mortality attending r the use of the several- antes- Xhetics. The America patients who have signed the scroll before mentioned, speak rapturously of the'effects of the gas; but then it is to be remembered that only those who were likely to do so were asked to sign. On the other hand, according to our scientific contemporary, the pallor and blueness of skin attending its administration show it to be an agent of terrible power. The dentists in this country are beginning to use it, one being named who has administered it a hundred ■Ernes with success. The Medical Times pays that the insensibility produced depends on temporary asphyxia, and that “it is mar vellous how soon the com* tion is recovered itom. A. patient who has looked livid and ghastly,with blue lipß, a minute or two after wards is rosy and laughing.” We have no doubt of it; but it is evident that nitrous oxide 5s a very dangerous agent except in the most skillful hands. —London News.
