Charleston and Cincinnati.

Since the end Of the wal, "says the Or

communication by Railroad from Charleston
to Memphis and Cincinnati, the lines having
been brokcn,and the rolling stock destroyed.
Such a connection is ef great commercial i'm

to the Atlantic Coast for it's surplus Of cereals
and live stock, and important to us, as we need
such supplies, and as it would furnish the ma

Communication will soon be opened from
the great West to Norfolk Virginia, as it was
before the war, but the route from Cincinnati
through Knoxville or Chattanooga, and
through Georgia to Charleston is shorter and
more available, and we arc glad to sec that the
City Council of Charleston have moved in the
matter and the Committee Of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce have " adopted reso-

The Internal Revenue.

An intelligent correspondent Of the Go.
aumbia Phoenix, writing from Washington,
says
The internal revenue, for the upper part
of the State of South Carolina, is to be as
sesscd and collected as soon as the organiza-
tion Of the Offices cah be completed. Notaxes
will be assessed or collected on any subjects of
aaxatiou prior to S0th May, 1865, which is
the date Of the establishment of the collection
districts in South Carolina, except the taxes
on incomes, which will be collected for the
incomes of 1861, and since. All manufac
lures, distilled liquors, and other subjects Of
taxation, produced or accruing sincc' 30th
Mays will be assessed and taxed 1t is thought
iii the departments and elsewhere here, that
the oath Of Office will be so modified, at least
in regard to postmasters and revenue officers
that there will be no difficulty in obtaining
Southern men who can take it. A decision
has already been made, allowing payment for
stationery, Office rent, postage &C., to the
officers Of the internal revenue in the South,
who, as yet, cannot draw their salary by rca-
aon of tho oath"

In the New York Times, of the LIST inst,
we End the following round and plump as
severation:
1.-The decision of the people is, that the
right to settle the relations Of the Southern
States and to fix the conditions under
which they shall resume their places in the
Union, pertains to Congress; and no amount
of abstract augmentation on fine questions
of constitutional law will avail either the
South or the opponents of Congress. The
fact may alarm rigid constructionists, and
may shake more than one mans faith in
the perfectibility of written constitutions;
but it is fact nevertheless"
Yet the editor Of the Times, in August
last, wrote the address Of the Philadelphia
Convention, stood up in its presence, and
twice read the following passage from it,
amid the applause of that body of North
ern and Southern representative men:
"And the ten millions of Americans who
live in the South would be unworthy citi-
zens of free country, degenerate sons of a
heroic ancestry, unfit ever to become the
guardians of the rights and liberties be-
queathed to us by the fathers and founders
of the republic if they could accept with
accomplishing submissiveness, the humili-
ations thus sought to be imposed upon
them"
Will the Times be good enough to reprint
these, and give us leader by way of COM
ment?

one of the maxims of Machiavelli
reads thus:
Either make man your friend, or put
it out of his power to be your enemy. He
may revenge slight injury, but great
one deprives him of his power to avenge;
hence the injury should be of such mag
nitude that the Prince shall have nothing
to dread from his vengeance"
The Radical majority in Congress seem
disposed to practice this precept They
could not secure the President as friend
to their schemes, and they have deter,
mined to strike him down, and strip him
of all power to hold them accountable for
the rascality they contemplate Their
leaders are as full of infamous and sub
tie statecraft as any Of the detestable
characters in history, who figure as the
corruptors of public liberty and the
builders of despotisms If the American
people do not soon arrest them they will
prove as successful

RRAECH OF PROMISE CASE.

Some months, since a Miss Cornelia
Virgins, of New York city, sued Mr.. w.
A. Russell of Washington county, State
Prison Inspector, on a breach Of promise
contract, for $4,000 damages. The case
has lust been tried in New York city be-
fore Judge Mullen and a jury, and a YER
dict of 5000 given in behalf of the plain
tiff, which Mr. Russell and his friends,
considering the damages claimed, may re-
gard as a substantial judgment in his be-
half The defendant did not deny the al
legation contained in the complaint Of a
promise of marriage, and Of its breach by
a subsequent marriage; but sought to JUS
tify his desertiOn of the plaintiff by estab-
fishing the fact that the woman had pre-
viously been seduced and had sued her Sc
ducer, IA prominent New York merchant)
and settled the case upon the payment of
$500. As soon as Mr.. Russell became ac-
quainted with this chapter in the life Of his
fance he broke off the match, and the
present suit resulted therefrom. We I'M
derstand that seven of the jury were in ia
yor Of a verdict for the defendant, four
were undecided, and one in giving the
plalntIfithe full amount of damages claimed.
The verdict was the result Of a compromise
among the jurors-the seven in favor of
Mr.. Russell very properly concluded that
whilst such a verdict was only a nominal
recognition Of the claims of the female, it
would be far better for Mr.. Russell to con-
sent to the payment of $500 than to have
the suit continued in the courts, with its
consequent annoyance and increasing cost.

THE question of who should be Presi-
dent in case of the impeachment and re-
moval of Mr.. JOHNSON, and for how long
period, etc, etc, is engaging the atten-
ton of a number of our exchanges and
filling their columns with quotations from
the Constitution and laws upon the sub
ject The Philadelphia Age thus shows
what may be expected:
"If m impeachment and removal is
agreed upon, no obstacle of legal charac-
ter will be allowed to impede the progress
of the movement. If the loyal or adj
herring States can amend the Constitution,
IS is maintained by the Radicals, they can
do any other act, either through the agen-
cy Of the people of the represented States,
or their delegates in Congress. 1t is
clear that the present Congress is not
such a body as has power under
The Constitution TO prefer charges
against the President, nor is the
Senate Of the United States competent to
try him, according to the requirements Of
the fundamental and supreme law of the
land. But the Radicals having already
usurped power to deprive ten States of the
Union of all voice or vote in affairs Of the
nation, they will not hesitate to consum-
mate their wicked programme by attempt
ing to depose the President in the manner
not warranted or sanctioned by the Consti-
tuition. Should such an infamy be inaugu-
rated, it viii not be difficult to predict the
result, and the frightful consequences which
must ensue to the country"

If the present Congress persists in the
course which it seems TO have set out
upon, no one can tell to what dire evils
it will lead Lord ERsKNE, in the Bri-
fish House of Commons, once described
crew animated by similar motives He
said:
"There are wretches, also, without
virtue, labor, or hazard, who are growing
rich as their country is impoverished
They rejoice when obstinacy, ambition,
or folly adds another year to slaughter
and devastation, and laugh from behind
their desks at bravery and science, while
they are adding figure to figure and cy-
pher to CIPHER, hoping for new contract
from a newarmament, and computing the
profits Of a siege or a tempest

The Radical organ of this city says,
that no jurist or statesman will affirm
that the ratification of the constitutional
amendment by the Southern States abol
ishing slavery, has any validity whatever
1t also says that their Legislatures were
illegal assemblies, and had no power to
ratify.
If this be so, slavery is not abolished
by law. Without the notifications Of
the Southern States the proposition failed
of three-fourths assent. This theory
also, presumes the Legislature of Tennes
see-the organs supplier of pap-an
Illegal assembly" for it was formed pre-
cisely as the Legislatures of the other
Southern States were. 1t is an i'll bird
that fouls its own nest, and very foolish
one, if, like the organ in question: it has
no other place to 90 to.
