Scene on the Floor of Congress.

The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle thus graphically des-
cribes the reading of President Johnson's
late message on the Constitutional Amend
ment, in the House of Representatives
| CHANGED to be present in the galleries
of the House of Representatives when the
message was received and read Words
can scarcely convey any adequate idea of
the rage and dismay of the leaders Of the
House as sentence after sentence of the
Executive rebuke came pealing upon them
IN the sonorous terms of the Reading
Clerk, piercing their sophistries as round
shot tears through the ranks of an ill-dis-
ciplined battalion. 1t was plain enough
to any observer that they felt the crush
ing weight of the Presidents objections so
tersely, and yet SO courteously presented.
They knew, as the last words, sESigned,
Andrew Johnson" rung in their ears, that
they sounded the death knell Of the amend
ment. 1t was exceedingly amusing to
hear the malignant utterances of the Bit
terest of the enemies of the President, in
commenting among themselye5 upon the
style in which, unasked, he had entered
into their game and delivered checkmate.
Says one, sit amounts to this, that Andy
johnson isn't willing TO recognize the va
lidity of any act we may pass until the
rebel traitors are admitted among US to
Iegislate for the loyal people of the coun-
try" Anothet opincd that ''the next
thing we shall see will be the rebel repre-
sentatives escorted to their vacant seats
by Presidential bayonets ~ These are
fair specimens of the familiar comments
of the Radicals upon the message. Bat
most provoking of all to their ears was
the cool, business like style in which the
President condescends to ''waive the ques-
ton as to the constitutional validity Of the
proceedings OF Congress. That, they
think was the unkindest cut of all.

BABY ON THE PORCH,

Out on the porch, by the open door,
Sweet with roses, and cool with shade,
Baby is creeping over the floor
Dear little winsome blue Eyed maid
All about her the shadows dance,
All about her the IS swing,
Suntcams il the lattice glance,
Robins up in the branches sing
Up at the blossoms her fingers reach.
IiSping her pleading in broken words,
Cooling away in her tender speech,
Songs like the twitter of nesting birds.
Creeping, creeping over the floor,
Soon my birdie will find her wings,
Fluttering out at the open door,
Into the wonderful world of things.
Bloom Of roses and balm Of dew,
Brooks that bubble and winds that call
All things lovely, and glad, and new,
And the Father watching us over it all.

A YOUNG gentleman, q member Of our
college, was expelled for the crime of
drawing young ladies up to his room by
means of basket from his window OF

WE meet but few people who DO not
claim to be Union men, but do they ever
reflect upon the question, What constitutes
a Union Nan ? Let every citizen ask
himself the question, Am l a Union man
if oppose the return of the seeded States
to the Union if strive to prolong the
dissolution which through the action of
Congress, now exists if | refuse to as
sist in reconciling the people of the es-
tranged sections if | vote for men who
hold that the Southern States are out of
the Union and thus acknowledge Secess-
ion an accomplished fact How can one
be a U5ion man, if he be opposed to the
return Of the seeded States, if he favor
the prolongation of dissolution, if he re-
fuse to assist in reconciling the people of
the North and South, if he vote for men
who declare that the South is out of the
Union by virtue of secession Yet such
is the man who endorses the present lead
ers and platforms of the so-caled Repub-
lican party.-Bedf0rd Gazette.

GENERAL SHERMAN In a recent
speech at New Haven talked very plainly.
He told the crowd gathered to receive him,
that the people of New England had been
too hard on the South and were too strong
in their predjudices, but perhaps they
were not responsible for it, as they have
been so educated. He was for lhe whole
country, North and South alike, and he
was willing to forget and forgive all past
differences. These sentiments are those
of nine-ten,hs of the gallant men who
did the fighting during the war. The
Radicals, who staid at home, are the men
in favor of determination.

THE New York Times, always a lead
ing Republican" paper, declares that its
party is divided and that unless something
be speedily done TO re-unite the factions,
it must inevitably be defeated. To use
its own language. ''The Union party is
divided-so divided and distracted that
its defeat will be inevitable, unless some
thing be meanwhile done to determine au-
thoritatively its course on the question of
restoration, its conditions and conscquen-
ces." The breach is open! Let Demo

THERE are So, 800 Chinese in Califor-
mia, one-fourth of whom are employed on
the Pacific Railroad. They are repre-
sented as industrious, skillful, law-abiding
and thriving but, being of too light col
or and too near the similitude of the white
race, they, like the Indians, (or Aborigin-
ais, do not come in for share in the ben
efits of civil rights and ''manhood suffrage, =

COUNTERFEIT Ten DOLLAR NoTEs. For
the benefit of the public we give the fol-
lowing description Of the new ten dollar
counterfeit note on The National Banks:
"Figure of Liberty on an eagle upon right
end, Franklin and boy on left. The sig
natur- are engraved in the counterfeit,
and in the genuine they are written The
lightning, grasped by the hand of Liberty,
is barely perceptable in the genuine, while
in the counterfeit it is broadly defined on
a dark, coarse back ground, which in the
genuine is light. The general appearance
fair, but is very coarse on examination
On the back Of the note the followers of
De Soto appear mixed up, while in the
foreground, that which is designated for
priest, bears the exact image Of monkey.
These notes May be altered to represent
any National Bank"

A GHosr SHoT-A man living at a
village near Mobile attempted to frighten
some girls by wrapping white cloth
around his body, and personating a ghost.
All ran but one, who pulled out revol-
yer and fired six balls into the head and
body. AT the first shot the ghost fell,
but she continued firing. She then went
home and related the circumstances, and
parties returning to the spot found life COM
pIetely extinct, two balls having penetra-
ted the forhead, and the other four the
region of the back.

''JOHN'' The NEXT SOCIAL PROBLEM
"A San Francisco correspondent, wri-
ting on the subject of emigration to the
State of California, thinks that the next
great social problem will be the status of
the Chinese. In a few months or years
he will cross the Rocky Mountains, and
begin to fill up the valley of the Mississ-
ippi AS soon as the Pacific Railroad is
completed, the path will be open to him.
Millions can still be accommodated in the
mines on the Pacific coast, but the South
with its fields of cotton, rice and sugar,
is the proper place for them, and as she
is now prostrated by the ravages Of war
and the effects of famine, they are needed
to recuperate her exhausted energies
Soon the "negro question will be lost in
the s'Chinese question:" and then will
come the perplexing problems of his sta
tus in the community, his contracts and
privileges. On the 1st of January, 1867, 3,
the Colorado; the pioneer of a new line
between San Francisco and China, will
commence her trips, and every arrival
will bring from 900 to 1900 to That
port. Capitalists are already discussing
the questions Of contracting with Chinese
companies for an immense number of them
to cultivate the cotton fields of the South
for term of years, at a much cheaper
rate than negro labor can be obtained.
Soon the rivalry between the Chinaman
and the negro will commence.

WAR has broke out in Europe.
sia and a number of the minor German
States have seeded from the Germanic
Confederation. The trouble seems to be
pretty much the same that was at the bot
tom of the late civil war in this country
Prussia complains that Austria has had
too much power in the Federal Diet and
she has undertaken TO set herself right
by the strong hand. The Prussian Gov
ernment commenced hostilities by march
ing their armies into Saxony and Hanover,
and afterwards occupying Bohemia Siles-
ia. They have the advantage of choosing
their own battle ground, and in striking
early have secured themselves good po-
sition, besides blotting out of the map of
Europe the principalities of Hanover and
Saxony. Several severe battles have been
fought between the Prussians and Aus
trians, in which both sides claim to be
victorious, the last one of which Cat Skal-
icz) was very bloody, though not decisive.
Italy, also, has declared war against Aus
tria. A battle has been fought at Gus
tozza, within the historical Quadrilateral,
between the forces of King Victor En-
manuel, of Italy, and the Anstrians, in
which the latter were victorious. The
Italians retreated across tie Mincio, sus-
tanning loss of nine thousand men,

EFFECrUAL PRAYER.-Do not say you
