The Destruction Of Landmarks.

The Nation, one Of the ablest weekly
journals now in course Of publication, is
thoroughly radical on the slavery question
and the question Of "races," but its feet are
still planted on the earth-it has not been
lifted by the swelling stream Of party feeling
entirely from the foundation, SO as to be
swept along at the mercy of the current on
which the majority" party are now riding.
In an article upon the suspension Of the ha.
beaS corpus it makes these remarks, viz:
The Supreme Court reasserts solemnly the
jurisdiction Of Congress over personal liberty
and denies the right Of the Executive tc
touch il arbitrarily, and forthwith some Of
the very men who were most frantic last
summer in exalting the legislature and de
nouncing the Presidents usurpation begin
to talk Of "impeaching" the judges for doing
what they were bound to do, before God and
man, come what might. We have com
mented elsewhere on the conduct Of the
court in embarking in discussion On points
which came in no way before it. But We
hope this whole matter, grave and important
as it is. will open the eyes Of the public 10
the great danger there is that the breaches Of
law and Of propriety into which over-zeal on
behalfof the right now carries us may be one
day used against US in defence OF the wrong.
1t is not very long since there was majority
in the United States on the side Of wicked.
ness and we may all live to see it again; II
we should, we may have sore need for our
own protection Of all the forms and tradi.
tions OF the law and the Constitution.

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The bill to encourage the extension Of di'
rect railroad communication with the city Of
Washington, was passed by the Board ol
Common Council last night. 1t authorizes
the extension, construction, and use, by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company Of
a railroad from between Knoxville and Mo-
nocacy Junction into and within the District
OF Columbia, to extend the said last-men-
toned railroad into and within the city OF
Washington, entering the said city at the
intersection Of its northern boundary and
New York avenue, crossing said avenue, and
passing through the northwest corner Of
square No. 7l0 to First street east, thence
along the centre Of that street to the present
track of the Washington Branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and along the
route of that track, east OF New Jersey avenue,
to the present station in square No. 632, with
the privilege Of constructing and maintain
ing two tracks within the city along the above
described line, and Of using steam engines
thereon.
The bill having now passed both Boards o
the City Council, only awaits the approval OIL

Terrible Destitution.

The Louisville (Ky.) Courier Of the llth
instant has the following story Of suffering:
We have not, for several years past, heard
Of q case that showed as plainly the amount
OF destitution now existing among the poor
OF our city and the South in general, as that
which came 70 our cars yesterday. A philan-
thropic gentleman, who resides in the lower
part Of the city, was on his way out in the
country yesterday afternoon, on the old Salt
river road, during the driving snow storm,
when he discovered woman crossing the
fence into q wood pasture just outside the
city limits. She was thinly clad, shiyerinR
in the cruel blast, and gave evidence of Sc.
we're destitution and hard living. Not seeing
any house near, he wondered to himself
where the woman was going; and calling her,
questioned her as to the cause Of her being
out in the storm. She replied by eyasive
answers, but on his questioning her more
closely, she told him that she lived with an.
other woman in an old hollow tree in the
pasture, and had been staying there for over
four months past ..
The gentleman hitched his horse and pro-
ceeded to where the woman designated her
miserable retreat to be, and there, wrapped
up in some old army blankets, he discovered
the other woman, sleeping in the hollow OF
board and bark. He wakened the unfortu-
nate woman up and asked her her name; she
gave II as Jane Hutton. The woman he
FIRST met gave her name as Eliza Harris.
They said they were from Cross Keys, near
Atlanta, Georgia, and had come up to this
city some months ago seeking honorable
employment, but had failed in their efforts,
and had been since that time earning live
lihood by gathering shucks, doing washing,
&c., meeting misfortune with a heroism
worthy Of the noblest Of women. The gen.
tleman who found them soon made their
and In q few hours the poor women were
taken from their uncomfortable refuge and
well provided for,

IMPEACHMENT.

The action Of the House on Mr.. Ashley
motion looking to the impeachment Of the
President will create q feeling Of surprise
throughout the country. The haste ex-
hibited by the advocate Of the movement, II
not indecent is at least unwise, and we trust
the sober second thought Of the representa-
tives Of the people will lead them to adopt
more prudent counsels. The country, we
are persuaded, is not prepared to sustain a
measure so fraught with serious conse-
quences as this. 1t would be well il our
Solons in Congress would heed the ancient
maxim "FeStina lente" and hasten slowly in
the prosecution Of an affair Of so great mag
nitude.- Worcester (Mass.) Eve. Gazette.

Whereas, in virtue Of the power conferred
by the act Of Congress approved June 22d,
1860, sections Is and "a Of which act were
designed by proper provisions to secure the
strict neutrality Of citizens Of the United
States residing in or visiting the empires Of
China and Japan, notification was issued
on the 4th Of August last by the Legation
Of the United States in Japan, through the
Consulates Of the open ports Of that empire,
requesting American shipmAsters not to ap-
proach the coasts Of Lucoa and Nagato
pending the then contemplated hostilities

merchant vessels from stopping or anchoring
at any port or roadstead in that country
except the three opened ports, viz; Kama

unless in distress or forced by stress Of
weather, as provided by Treaty, and giving
notice that masters Of vessels committing O
breach Of the regulation would thereby
render themselves liable to prosecution and
punishment and also to forfeiture Of the
protection Of the United States IL the visit
to such non.opened port or roadstead should
either involve breach Of treaty or be con-
strued as an act in aid Of insurrection or

The Chicago Republican announces sol,
emnly that there is number Of military
officers in the House who are ready to take
the strongest ground against judicial usurp
ation," that is, who are ready to impeach
the Supreme Court judges for deciding that
an act Of Congress is law but adds that "in
the Senate there are no soldiers, and any
movement towards impeachment would be
hopeless in the present Senate" It is, ol
course, impossible to say where this folly
will end, but the public, we feel satisfied
will have had enough Of it before the winter
is over.-The Nation.

the Red Room, which presented brilliant
appearance when filed with the beauty and
fashion gathered at the capital at the pres.

Prize Fight Between ColIyer and

Prizc Fight Between Coliyer and
McGlnde.
The prize fight betweenSAN. CoLLYER, Of
Baltimore, and JOHNNY MoGLAps, Of New
York, is to come off this morning, wind,
weather and SO forth permitting. The arena
Of the conflict Is to be pitched within ten
miles Of the spot where THAD STEVENS re-
Gently went into the ring against CAMERON
and was knocked out Of time on the first
round. THAD had been trained by an ex-
perienced bruiser, who also took the trouble
to 90 down TO Harrisburg and act as bottle
holder when the mill" actually occurred.
The bottle-holder shared in the modification
Of the defeat, for well he knew that when the
sponge was thrown up he, too, had gone
up"
As near rs we can guess, the mill between
CoLLrER and McGLADE is to be fought within
ten miles Of Harrisburg. Here will be q fine
opportunity for those whose tastes incline
them thereunto, to stand upon the snow q
couple of hours while the ring Is pitched, and
witness the pleasant operation Of converting
q couple Of human visages into the likeness
Of juicy, raw beef steaks. The process is
gradual and extremely interesting, and we
presume that some hundreds Of enthusiastic
men will stand around the ring, withstanding
the rigors Of the weather, while the scientific
pummelists belabor each other to their
hearts content. The ladder by which the
pugilist climbs to fame has thirty seconds
only between the rounds, and therefore, as
soLoS smsoLE says, they are kept putty
bizzy" while tlasts. II anything interesting
occurs at this brutal" exhibition we shall
have the earliest intelligence.
