THE PROPOSED IMPEACHMENT


The Newburyport Herald thus comments
upon the proposed impeachment of Presi-
dent JOHNSON:
"Now to our minds the proposition Of i'm
parchment is one so full of danger that he
who fathers it must be shortsighted or terri
bly, depraved. There is not a rational man
in the country that doee not see that it car
ries upon its very face the commencement Of a
eiUa ,udr BIZ the side Of luhieh the late rebellion
Dould appear as child's play. Before any one
accustoms his mind to wander too far in that
direction, let him inquire if he is prepared
for a state Of anarchy that would destroy TIE
value of property, that would repudiate ma
tienal and private debts together, that would
darken the sun of Republican liberty, that
this century would not see its face again, and
sooald make human blood run IN The streets till
teuery dogs oould tap It up like gGter. If any
man of fighting age favors the deposing of
the President in the present state of the
country, let him join a military company at
once, and drill as often as he eats; and if he
is not of that age, but has boys that are, let
him call them to him on the first oppOrtuni-
ty, and looking them fairly in the face de-
eide which of them, or how many he is
lGdNll " BET QlC AdLAiCA tAAttiA A4NO -ANAAeBh
Johnson President of the United States till
the 4th of March, 1869?
1t is time this insanity ceased. FIVE are
not all crazy, or drunk or mad, we shall tell
all men of all parties, who propose such
schemes, away devils, well none you. We
want no more war-nO more Staying of the
first born--no more MANNED men, or discon-
solate widows or orphan children upon our
pension list. We want no more public debt
and no higher taxes than we now have. We
want no President who would put State
against State and man against man in dead
ly array, by ignoring the representatives Of
the people; and we want no representatives
so lost to reason, right, and public duty, as
to propose the deposition of the President.
The times are full enough Of danger without
any such madness. Every good and true
man-every man who loves his race or his
Con, will seek peace, not war; restoration,
not destruction prosperity, not anarchy
and love to all men everywhere. and hate to
none, and malice to none.

From tho Memphis Avalanche of Friday.

FROM the meInplls Avalanche OF EEluAy.I
Considerable excitement existed upon our
streets yesterday afternoon, occasioned by a
dispatch received from huntsville, saying
that fearful accident had occurred near
that place TO the train coming west on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad. As
many OF our prominent and well known
citizens, together with their families, who
had been visiting the tournament at Tus-
cumbiA, also were expected home on this
train, their many friends in this city were
suffering the utmost anxiety Of mind until
the following dispatch was received from
General n. b. FORREST, who was on the
train
"Colonel j. 4. Forrest: My wife and
friends safe. Two passenger cars and
one baggage car completely destroyed.
Forty persons injured; only two dangerously.
n. B. FORREST"
From Mr.. NJ. J. TIGHE, conductor on the
train when the accident occurred, we learn
the following: While running on time,
some five miles east Of huntsville, at about
9 O'Clock in the morning, and travelling
about twenty miles an hour, the rear trucks
Of the express car broke while crossing 4
trestle work. The broken trucks caught in
the bridge and carried away all the trucks
from under three of the cars in rear of the
express car. The first car was that contain
ing baggage, which was precipitated into
the abyss below, distance of about twenty
FIVE feet. Thisca was badly damaged-turned
over. the bottom torn out, and the baggage
scattered all around. The next was an ele-
CANT ladies' car, containing about fifty pas
sengers. This car was also carried into the
creek and turned over. Nearly all the pas
-. - hrrrf ktrf
none seriously, except Mrs. MooRFIELD,
who lives near Union Depot. This lady
was left in house near the wreck, and
special car was sent back for her from
huntsville.
General FORREST and family were in this
car, but escaped all injury. The next car
was smoking car, which went over the en-
bankment on the opposite side Of the track
from the ladies' car. This car went down
end foremost, but no one was hurt in il.
The next two cars were sleeping cars They
we're left upon the track, and uninjured, ex-
cept the platforms, which were smashed to
atoms The baggage master, TIN. ENRIeHT,
was injured by the sp6ntors end baggage
falling on him, but NOS very seriously. rhe
brakeman, MARTIN MCMELoN, was serious
ly hurt, one leg being crushed and his head
bruised TON. RoDGElas, an employee on
the road, was also seriously hurt. The
wreck presented a fearful sight, and the cars
were badly smashed and broken. Generals
FORREST and BEAUREGARD, who we're on
the train, were very prominent in getting the
wounded from the trains, and worked with
freat energy. Capt. HARVEY MATHIS, Of
the Argus, was on the train, and was bruised
slightly. 1t was a miraculous escape for
many on board, and wonderful that many
were no. killed, We could not learn the
names Of any others that were seriously in
jured. A gold watch valued at $500, and
several other articles of jewelry belonging 10
Mrs. FORREST, which were in her truck was
lost, and her baggage scattered in all d.
| reetions.

FROM LOUISIANA.

Sheriff. 10 he Removed for Refusing to
obey the GOvernOr-Gen. sheridan
Applied tO-Estfmated Cotton Crop,
etc.
New York, Oct. 20.-The Tribune's New
Orleans special says it is stated that as soon
as Governor Wells returns from his home in
the country, the sherifis of the different
parishes will be removed, for refusing to
| comply with the Governors convention pre-
/ clamation.
A messenger was sent to Washington some
| time since, to confer with the Attorney Gen.
eral who is represented as having stated
| in the presence of President johnson
| that the Governor had perfect right to act.
Gen. Sheridan was applied to for military
assistance to carry out this fragrant act and
/ it is said that several parties having COM
mitted murder on the 30th of July, and
| against whom the civil authorities failing to
proceed, action has been delayed until troops
which have since arrived, can be consolida-
ted in this city. Threats are made that il
the military attempt TO make the arrests,
the various rebel associations, which are
known to be well armed, will resist, over
power the military, and massacre all Unian
men.
| An attempt was recently mace 10 aSasaSsl-
nate Col. Frisbe, at his hotel in Alexandra.
The Colonel is extensively engaged in cot
ton planting, and employs 500 negroes who
formerly served in his regiment. He was
recently publicly notified by committee OF
prominent citizens, headed by Judge Ryan,
that he must leave the parish, as they wanted
no Yankees there, and hereafter they would
not be allowed to cultivate plantations.
| There are nineteen cases Of murder on the
docket of the A laxand-;- ------J - =, E-~
sidfng Judge represents the parish to be in
such state of anarchy that there is no
prospect of bringing any of them to trial.
From returns received from trustworthy
persons in the different parishes to whom
| application was made for correct cotton and
sugar statistics we estimate the cotton crop
for the year at twenty-five thousand bales,
| and the sugar crop at sixty thousand bales.
