THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT
DEPRECATED.-By the mass of the peo-
pie, irrespective of party, the wish is
that the revolutionary attempt
of impeaching the President will not be
but some Of the Republican
journals do not feel exactly satisfied that
the malignants have made up their minds
not to engage in that undertaking. The
GAINESVILLE Courier, which is certainly in
tenseIy Radical enough, feels constrained
to say, in referring to a vigorous article
in the Chicago Republican, demanding
the Impeachment and removal of the
President, that q Congress would make
great mistake iritshould perform so gross
an act except for reasons not only tangt-
bic to the popular apprehension, but
impress Of sufieiency. = Ohio

Loud

A MAN lately went to the postofice, and
putting his nose close to tie delyery-bOx,
cried out
"Louderp
The clerk, supposing the man TO be deaf,
and that he was requesting him to speak loud
er, so that he could hear, asked him in loud
tone the name Of the party for whom he
wanted the letter.
"Louderl' cried the man.
"What name?" yelled the clerk
"Louderl" again bawled the man, who
now supposed the clerk 10 be deaf.
The clerk took long breath, and with all
his might again beloved out in the mans
face the same question
What name 2"
This was done in so loud a tone that the
echo seemed to return from the far-ofT hills
The man started back in alarm, and shouted
at the very top Of. his big lungs
Louder, sir-Louderl I told you Loud
er-my name is nothing else!"

The Tos1Plant.

A VALUABLE but lengthy article on the cul-
tvntion of this plant recently appeared in
the Southern CulriVator, published at Athens,
Ga, from which we make the following ex-
tract:
In March, 1850, I received City plants
from the Patent Office. kept them in pots
until February, 1851. They were then plant-
ed out FIVE feet each way, in loose, sandy
sod. They grew off very finely. In April,
1862 I made small quantity of tea and
from that time to the present. 1856, Ihave
supplied my family with five or six ponds
Of tea yearly from Fifty plants. The largest
amount of tea produced in China is raised in
the lands lying between twenty-eight and
thirty-fve miles north latitude.
That the plant viii grow and flourish as
we'll, or even better (although exotic,
through the whole of the States bordering
the Atlantic and GULF, from North Carolina
to Texas, have not the least doubt. All
the lands of Middle Georgia and the Caro-
lnas, which arc now considered of little val
ue tor corn or cotton, can be made available,
and grow tea to great advantage. In Middle
Georgia, and other regions the culture of cot
truth of this fact is patent to all observers.
It is an evergreen shrub leaves from three
to iour inches long, one in width flowers
white; one inch or more in diameter; center
filed with large number Of stamens. with
yellow anthems; capsule usually three seed
ed seeds the size OF q chinquapin it seeds
the next September grows from cuttings or
layers. As before stated, I planted out tea
plants in 1851. At the present time (l866l
they are from six to seven feet high, each
plant covering a space of seven or eight feet
in dianeter-so interl cking that it is with
difficulty you can get between them.
To estimate the quantity which one acre
Of land planted in tea would make, l selected
a medium sized plant and collected the leave
from it. The yield was one-iourth Of
pound of tea. The number of plants to an
acre, standing five feet each way, is l,764
which will make four hundred and forty-one
pounds to the acre Can we cultivate any
plant that will compare with this? At fifty
cents per pound it will make two hundred
and twenty dollars per acre. Another very
great advantage it has over all other crops is.
that neither cold nor heat, dry or wet, hail or
winds, or insects injure it. It Is as certain
to be made as earth turns on its axis. Who
ever heard of a failure Of the tea crop of Chi
ma or Japan?
Of the quality of the tea have made I
can only say that connnisseurs have assured
me that they prefer it to the imported. Age
gives flavor to cOgee-so with tea. Some
that is two years old 1 find higher flavor
ed than that recently made.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says Mem
bers of Congress are beginning to arrive
already, and active caucussing will COM
mence next week. Many members are
in favor of doing away with the income
tax, or of making wholesale changes in
the law, and the system of stamp tax isto
be thoroughly overhauled.
APHIIADELPHIA dispateh5ays: ''Our
business men are looking for a panic
soon. Several large dry goods houses
are reported just hanging by the eyelids.
The decline in the prices of imported
goods and provisions continues, and
threatens disastrous effects to the specu-

A FASHIONABLE REVIVAL.

The inexorable law of fashion has carried our
ladies one step back towards the past. To the
goodly days of Queen Anne, when powdered
hair prevailed, aud the female head resemble6
meal bag, it was eminently la mode to be-
deck the face with small black patches which
were hrst intended to subserve the purposes of
female vanity, and which alterward was adopted
as the universal fashion. The origin of that
custom was due to the possession on the part of
the vain fair one, of dimple in the cheek;
which, perhaps, not receiving its due need of
attention, was recalled to the wandering eyes of
the beholder by small black patch defty stuck
on 10 Its neighborhood. The eye, .alighung on
the unusual spot, immediately took iu the &C.
cessory dimpe; and so the purpose of the wear
er vas achieved.
But ia course of time, the. impetus given to
this custom of dis6guring the face with these
patches led to other and more progressive i'm
provements. Thus, stars and flowers followed
the plain and unpretending circular spot
Thereto, after while, were added figures of
men and women; and finally chariot and four,
driven at full speed, was the most prominent
ornament of the beautiful faces of that time
The elegantes of our day, We must confess,
seem to be following closely in the footsteps of
their sisters of that earlier age, We have al
ready had, and we still have the hoop. The
trains to dresses, yard or more in length, to
be carried by negrillon, are quoted in the
latest fashionable intelligence from France
And now comes the black patch upon the face
to assert its position in the unity of modiste
toilette. With the combination of all these
(and with fashion combination is mpossible)
the outward make up in this practical-age, of
our monde elegant, will be spectacle of won-
derfui interest. Whilst the uuinterested public
the wary bachelors who ponder over the fan
tastes of the sex and congratulate themselves
that they are we'll out of it-nay laugh at the
sight that such a revolution in the wheel of
Fashion would precpitate upon US, no such
laughter would wrinkle the cheek of the fond
husband and the doting father who would find
himself compelled to foot the bills. There
would be ''deadly lively" feeling about him
when the day would come for the financial set
tiement. He would understand, in more re-
spects than one, how dear the wife of bis bosom,
Or the daughter of bis affection was to him; and
he would possibly linger with more regretful
interest upon the memory Of those days when
the question of new dress, or the suggestion
of new bonnet, never entered into bis daily
existence to disturb with their persstency the
current of peaceful life.
