Thospecial correspondent Of the Chicago Times,

the hands Of men, whose character for decision
and frmness as weR as for courage is sufficient
guarantee that they will carry it through.
The Executive it says has furnished ample
grounds for impeachment, and every true patri-
ct will rejoice, it says, to learn that no is TO be
brought to punishment. The first draft Of the
articles of impeachment are already drawn.

A6- Rev. John Douglas has sent us
another communication in regard TO his
domestic troubles. If Uncle John really
desires us to publish any more OF his pro-
ductions. he must procure some one OF
his neighbors to copy them before send
ing to the office. We write rather an in
different hand ourself, and what we can't
decipher no one else can. Uncle John
took the initiative by adve .sing his wife,
the dear partner of his bosom, whom he
mad sworn to cherish and protect through
good and through evil; and her father, in
turn, advertised Uncle John. So far, hon.
ors are easy. We prefer not to publish
any thing more on the subject. 1t is
certainly silly for old men, stumbling
along the brink of grave, to be taking
to their palsied arms maidens in the first
flush and bloom of youth, as though the
sere and yellow Of autumn could mingle
and mix tremendously with the buds and
blossoms of spring, the sad and chilling
notes of December with the gushing, joy
Gus songso of May. Such unnatural unions
are seldom productive Of healthy results.
A widow, now, will do--a widow is diff
fferent sort of an nstituton-she's done
been there and knows the ropes-knows
how to humor the frailties and make the
most of "a poor old man, whose trembling
limbs have borne him to her door,"
1t is proper to state that Uncle John
denies that there were any pistols about
the bed, as charged in the advertisement
Of his father.in-law. hut, if we interpret
his hieroglyphics aright, he is not so posi-.
tive as to the spear or dagger. We do
not think, however. the old gentleman
would have used it in manner to inaict
serious damage, Ard with this we take
our leave of the parties, advising them to
seek some other medium than the public
press through which to redress and
straighten out their domestic difficulties.

A Significant Movement,

The very extraordinary course OF conduct
adopted by the Frencs residents of New Orleans
will not escape public observation. They have
in body petitoned the French Emperor for the
presence ct several armed vessels At the mouth
OF the Mississippi river, ostenslblv for their pro
lection against negro Instructions but really for
very different purpose. The reasons ASST gnei
for this request as follows:
That the anttgonism which exists among the
different classes OF the population of this coun.
try seem. 10 them, TO have assumed formidable
proportions.
THAT meetings are held. speeches made. and
publications spread abroad. the tendency of all
which is TO bring about a conflict between the
black and white races.
That in the event Of these reiterated aopeals
to the negroes TO rise being listened to BY them.
the persons and properties of the undersigned
would be placed in serious peril.
That tisisdsnger is increased by the condition
in which the undersigned are placed by the orders
Of the commandment chief of this department.
who has taken away all the arms with hich they
could defend themselves.
That circumstances may at any moment
arise either owing TO the departure of the United
States troops 10 encounter the enemy, or the
evacuation OF this place alter some engagement.
in which the National Governm ent might be
found perfectly unable to afford the prot ection
which the undersigned have right 10 demand -
To attribute to the signers OF the petition any
such motives AS are embodied ia il l. simply veal
and childish. while the pre,en.e that the petition
Is really the work of the French residents il no,
less improbable. MEXICO was introduced tn the
tender mercies Of Louis Napoleon ia the same
manner. and IN the same manner that diyntary
went through the fare OF asking the CD opera
ton or England and Spain to redress grievances
The petition. it can hardly be doubted. is the
