upon Mr.. Davis's correspondence have

are still sent to the commanding officer,
and as they reach Mr.. Davis consist of ap-
plications for autography and northern let

issues of the Confederate Government, but
generally, if not always, counterfeits of the

Christian Trussell in the woods, in Dale,
Gutagamie county, N. Y, by most SIN
gular and terrible accident, as follows:
at appears that party of men were IN
the woods cutting fallow, and where they
were chopping, two large trees had been
felled-one across the other-the one on
top balancing nearly. The man who was
killed was chopping near these trees, and
another party, having large tree about
ready to come down, hailed him to look
out. when he ran and stood on the top OF
the balancing tree to see the other come
down. The men then brought the tree
down, which struck the other end of the
tree on which Trussell was standing, and
the tremendous weight Of 1t coming upon
the spring lever, threw him like shot into
the air upwards Of eighty feet. In coming
down, one of his legs, from his knee to his
hip, was shattered to atoms, and the back
of his head was stove in. He was taken up
with some life in him, but soon expired

The RADICAL CAUCUs-IMPEACHNENT.-
The Republican House caucus last night
opposed the reference of the subject OF
impeachment to special committee, leav-
ing it to the regular Judiciary Committee
of the House.
The impeachment question, according to
caucus record, viii have eighty votes to
sustain it. 1t remains to be seen which
side will have the most strength with the
weak members in the final decision.
The caucus decided that the committee
should report on the 8th Of May next, and
that to give them time to do so Congress
should adjourn for sixty days.-Nationa

THE EMBASSY TO RoME.-The following
letter from William j. Albert, Esq, OF
Baltimore, to Hon. Columbus Delano, Of
Ohio, explains itself:
BALTIMORE, February 2s, 1867.
Hon. c. Delano, House of Representatives
Washington, ID. c.:
Dear Sir,-You will remember that
made the statement last night that
thought Congress had been precipitate in
abolishing the embassy at Rome, and this
morning / received confirmation Of the
same in a letter from the Rev. D. Lyman,
rector of the American chapel, dated
Rome, February IL, from which | beg leave
to make extracts, viz:
81 am sorry to see by your letter that a
wholly false report has got into circulation
| in reference to the Church here. Even
Congress, hear, has got hold of it. The
story was started in Florence, and freely
circulated here. Scotch services were
suppressed. They were held in the houses
of the two Scotch Presbyterian clergy
men, one of the Established Kirk and the
other the Free Church. They were, OF
course, entirely irregular, and. when they
were complained of, they were suppressed.
But in our case there was no attempt at
suppression. Strictly in accordance with
the law, we could only hold our services in
the residence of our ambassador; but as
he had no palace where the service could
be held, we took another room in central
position, and have ever since held our SER
vices without any molestation. When the
Scotch services were suppressed, General
King thought it most prudent to have the
arms of the country put up in the build
ing where we had our chapel, and the
Government seemed quite willing to take
liberal view of the law, and to regard il
as the chapel of the embassy, although not
in the house of the ambassador"
He then goes on to write of the personal
popularity of General King at the Vatican
and the high favor that Americans enjoy
in Rome, and that it would be esteemed a
great calamity if we could have no place
to worship in within the walls Of Rome il
the embassy should be suppressed.
At this late date in the session, | pre-.
sumo that it would be impossible to restore
1.-THE embassy, but l deem it due to the
cause of truth to make these facts known
You are at liberty to make use Of this
letter as you please.
Very truly and respectfully yours, &C.,
| W. j. ALBERT.

WASHINGTON, March THE Republican
caucus last night was stormy. The extreme
advocates Of impeachment were defeated, and
the investigation recommitted to the Judiciary
Committee. A resolution to meet in caucus,

Congress on Monday to re-assemble on the
sth OF May was adopted.
1t is authoritatively stated that Sherman.
Meade, Hancock, Mcdowell, and Scnoneld

THE DEATH PENALTY.-Mr. Walpole has
introduced two bills in the British Parlia-
ment relating to the death penalty. The
first bill confines hanging to cases where
there was deliberate intent to kill, or for
the purpose Of committing or aiding in the
commission of rape, arson, or other felony,
or in aiding in the escape of other MUIR
derers, or in numbering public officers in
the discharge of their duties. The other
bill renders all other murderers punishable
by penal servitude for period ranging
from life to seven years. Mr.. Henley re-
marked, while the bill was being discussed,
that the English laws were fast tending to
the abolition of capital punishment, and
that there was no doubt but the same
course will be adopted by other civilized
governments at no distant day.

WHEN SHALL WE Re RELIEVED ?-When
will the present law of Congress giving
suffrage to the negroes be repealed! Not
in two years, for the Republicans have
three-fourths Of the present House OF
Representatives, whose first session has
lust commenced. Not in six years proba.
Div, because it will take at least that time
to change the complexion of the United
States Senate. And after SIX years we &c
not know what will happen. Thepro6a6at'es
are that if the negroes vote for the next
six wears they will continue to vote after
that time. But we may safely assume that
thew will vote for six years to come and
if matters grow no aporSe, and the South
pursues a policy OF inaction, the military
Governments will also continue for six
years. This is the most .tauora6!e aspect
Of our prospects on the theory of inaction

SERMON OF HEBREW IN CHRISTIAN
CHURCH.-Rev. DR.. Max Lilienthal, the
Rabbi Of the Jewish synagogue in Cincin-
natl, occupied the pulpit of the Unitarian
church in that city on Sunday morning
last. He took for his text, "Fear ye not ;
stand still and see the salvation of the
Lord"; and the subject of his discourse
was, "a free Church in free State"
This was probably the first occasion of the
occupation of Christian pulpit on Sun
day by Jewish preacher.

THE SUPREME CoURT.-The Charlottes

in the following paragraph:
"But we are to lean on the Supreme

King of Hanover should appeal to the

and harsher and severer ones are imposed.
Thus has it been from the commencement
