ACTION.


 Progress and development are Gods universal law.' But the fool in his heart hath said, there is no God; then we would accommodate our proposi- tion to him and say, progress and de- velopment are the universal law of nature. Absolute inertia is nowhere to be found matter, ill all it's varied forms, is constantly changing its rela- tive positions and relations. The sturdy oak of the forest is but the acorn developed, and that oak itself must yield to the corroding tooth of time, fade, wither and decay and it's constituent elements .commingle with the dust of another earth" and enter into, new forms and combinations in the vegetable and animal kingdoms. The towering mountain that bathes its denuded crest in the clouds, is the re- suit of internal heat and volcanic ac- tion; the mighty Mississippi is the result of vapors and showers distilled through earth's pores, and sent forth bubbling and laughing from thousands of natural syphons and springs, and claiming as they move, the hand that marks our courseis divine. The broad alluvial valley, stretching from the Rocky mountains east to the Atlantic, and south to the Gulf, is but the debris of animal and vegetable dispositions, the product of ages past, held in solu. tion, brought down and deposited by the action of water. The great ocean itself is the result of the aggregation of the moving particles on a more extend eds ca1c; in short, mutation and change are indelibly stamped upon earth and ailits forms. Life and death in the vegetable and animal kingdoms are the consequents or results of cause and ef- feet, or, progress and development in the economy of nature, subservient to the primal law of material existence. From this imperfect sketch is deduced .many important lessons or suggestions, one of which is, that it behooyes us to be up and doing, as our day for action is short, and what we do must be com mcnced now for progress and devel- opment in the physical, moral and so- eial world, are constantly producing changes that may materially effect our plans and purposes; and, above all, action is the appropriate element for man. We read it everywhere ill the great book of nature--on earth--in the atmosphere--in the worlds above that roll on in matchless grandeur and sub iimity through space. Action is the talismanic word we seeit in the light ning's blaze, in the meteor's track we hear it in the thunder's peal, in the vol canic shock and oceans roar we feel it in the earthquakes jar and tornado's tread, and its echo is the music of the spheres as onward they move. "Pro- gress and development are Gods uni yersal law"

 BUTLER ON IMPEACHMENT.-Gen But Ter is still harping on the impeacnment of the President, and in Chicago, on Wednesday evening declared that the Presidents conduct in regard to the New Orleans riot and in appointing men to office who could not take the oath, were impeachable offences. But as Butler cannot take his place in Con- gress for over a year, even if elected he will not be able to take any actual part in the punishment of the President until that time. In the meantime, if he will give his attention to the law appli- cable to people guilty of robbing bank vaults and stealing silver spoons, he will have clearer comprehension o1 the facts of the inquiry than of tho Presidents case, and will not need the information given to Nathan to be able to apply it in the right quarter.

Coop ADvIcE-In alluding to the re- suit of the late elections, the Richmond Examiner says: Some wiseacres will argue from this result that Southern representations should be cut down one-third, and that men like Lee, Forrest and Hampton disfranchised. The conclusion we draw is that we should go on quietly about our daily pursuits. each doing his duty in his ap- pointed sphere, working hard and yielding nothing whatever to clamor or panic"
