RISING SLewLY.-The river, which was
nearly seven or eight feet above its usual
height, commenced rising slowly again last
night, and has overfowed its banks in many
places. The rapid melting of the snow in

flood, and we fear will damage the canal

color which at this season is regarded as a
sure indication of vigorous growth in the
future.

BUTLER VS.. BINGHAM.-1n the Radical
caucus at Washington the other evening,
Mr.. Bingham, Of Ohio, spoke earnestly
in favor of leaving the matter of impeach-
mentl the Judiciary Committee. In eight
cases of impeachment in this Government,
all but one had been referred to the Judi
ciary Committee, and that one had been
badly managed in the hands of select
committee.
General Butler inquired if Mr.. Bingham
was in any event in favor Of impeach-
mentH
Mr.. Bingham replied that he was not
like certain gentlemen, in favor of pre-
ferring articles Of impeachment and hear
ing the testimony afterwards.
On the question Of adjournment in the
same caucus,
General Butler and Mr.. Boutwell, urged
the shortest recess, and the General very
plainly told Mr.. Wilson that the question
of impeachment should not be referred to
committee of which he (WilSon) was
chairman. A postponement until October
was virtually an abandonment.
Mr.. Bingham replied sharply to General
Butler, intimating that it was arrogant and
prcsumptive to thus attempt to dictate to
his peers.

IMPEACHMENT AT DIsCoUNT.-The Radi-
Gals have no confidence in Ashley's i'm
parchment dodge. The House caucus did
not consider it Of sufficient Importance to
risk a special committee on the subject,
and the Senate seems determined to adj
iourn over to the first Monday in October
to get rid of impeachment. This is an
open acknowledgment of the falsehoods
presented to the people last fall by which
the popular verdict" SO called, was OBJ
tanned. about which we have heard so
much. Go on gentlemen, and hang your
selves.-National Republican.

CrrELEY's ADvICE.-Let the rebel
States remember that this is the second
timc the loyal States have offered them
fer terms Of representation; strict but not
unllind. They rejected the constitutional
amendment as an insult, and threaten to
defeat the intent of this law by refusing to
take any part in its execution. But they
are in error if they suppose that by the
injury the North endures from their indif-
ference and inaction it will be diverted
from purpose which it knows to be just
and generous, because Mercy and Justice,
in the highest sense, are one.-Iribane, It'll.
