REPLY OF Mr.. D. H. CRAIG.
New YoRK, Nov. s, 1866.-To all Editors and
Agents Of the Annotated Press: I have read the
notice sent over the wires this evening, signed by
Messrs Prime and Beach, and pronounce its as.
sertions utterly and infamously false.
have not been discharged unanimously nor at

My resignation has been in the hands of the Ex.
ecutive Committee for several weeks, and whether
accepted not should have retired at the end Of
this week, at which time, asI have reason to be.
lisve, every agent or reporter Of the Association
will earnestly cooperate In the new movement,
which, assure you, Is started with the most ample
hackers and its results will largely promote the In
terest Of all the papers outside Of this city, and
shall confidently hope for your earnest approval.

IMPEACHMENT.

The hastily-declared proposition to i'm
peach President johnson at the next session
Of Congress meets with but little favor at
the hands of both the radical and conserva-
tive press of the Republicans in this vicinity
and we must therefore take it for granted
that the public sentiment of New England
will never indorse measure so dangerous
to the peace Of the country. The Boston
Transcript, the most radical paper Of this
State, takes decided grounds against such q
step, and declares that those persons who
urge impeachment are not thewisest Repub-
lcans nor the safest guides of public senti-
ment. The Boston Daily Advertiser, Bos-
ton Traveller, Springfield Republican, and
Newburyport Herald, as well as many Of the
Republican journals Of Maine and Vermont,
have also expressed themselves as opposed
to the measure, so that the opponents Of the
President in this section of the country at
least, would seem to be very far from being
unanimous on the subject; and if we take
into consideration the fact that those who
first broached the matter say little or moth
ing about it Just now, and the additional fact
that the central and western States are more
conservative than New England, we think it
may be safely predicted that the project will
fall through, and that its friends in the next
Congress will only represent very small
minority, if, in fact, it finds any one possessed
Of sufficient courage, in opposition to public
sentiment, to draw the bill.
This being the case, and quite apparent 10
the great mass of thinking minds, we think
the sooner the matter is dropped altogether
in public discussions the better it will be fol
the peace and prosperity Of the country, es
pecially as its further discussion can now
only serve as matter for irritation between
the parties represented by the President and
Congress- Charlestotpn lIuass.) advertiser,
