PROGRESS CT IMPEACHN ENT.

The impeachment matter has got into
business like shape, The majority of the
Senate sustained the point raised by the
Chief Justice that the rules for the gov
ernment of the court must be adopted af-
ter the Senate organized as a court and
not when acting in its legislative capacity.
When that point was settled, the rules
previously drawn up were Immediately
adopted by the High Court of Lmpeach-
ment Senator Hendricks made obiec-
ton to Senator Wade taking the oath,
as be would be the Presidents successor,
and therefore an interested party, but
having subsequently withdrawn his OBJ
lection the oath was administered to the
Ohio Senator. The organization of the
court was proceeded with, and the Chief
Justice declared the court ready for the
trial of Andrew Johnson by impeachment
formed. The Managers of the House
were formally notified that the Court was
ready for them. The Managers appeared,
and asked that summons be issued to
the President to appear and answer the
articles of impeachment, 1t was ordered
that the summons be issued and made re-
turnable on Friday next, at one o'clock in
the afternoon The Court of impeach-
ment then adjourned to meet again next
Friday. On Saturday the summons was
served upon the President by the Scar
geant-at-Arms of the Senate, and next
Friday he will appear before the High
Court in person or by Attorney, when he
will ask for some time to prepare for his
trial The case is now fairly started.
All the preliminary questions have been
determined; all the rules. of procedure
on the part of both House have been
adopted; the articles Of impeachment are
framed, adopted by the house and pres
ented to the High Court, and copy CT
them served on the accused; the Com
mittee of Managers to prosecute the case
are already hard at work preparing the
testimony to be offered in support of the
articles of impeachment. Thus every
thing moves steadily forward with the
regularly and precision of clockwork
and all the Copperhead anticipatons of
discord and division among the Republi-
can members, have dissipated and evapo-
rated like mist before the morning sun.
The traitors doom moves forward as In
exorably as fate itself.

THE PRESIDENTS FEELING.-With
regard to the feeling of President John
son and his friends on the subject of i'm
parchment, Washington special of Mon
day night says:
The most interesting and important
feature OF the situation are those wrich
concern the w hite House The change
there has been very marked At first
there was a defiant spirit that BODIED SER
lous trouble. This has not only passed
away, but great depression has taken its
place. The Presidents SUNDAY organ of
one week ago was filled vita threats of
resistance and appeals TO riot and revolu-
ton To-day the same paper contents
Itself with Indicating the weakness of the
charges, and contending that the move
ment is only partisan. Those nearest
the President say he has abandoned all
thoughts OF resistance, and feels that the
army Is wholly alienuted from him. He
keenly feels the denunciation of leading
Democrats, and the complaints of many
OF his political advisers that he either
Ignored their counsel, or acted without
consulting Them 1t is known that q
number Of these do not hesitate to tell
him that his case IS hopeless, and that
Democrats can do nothing for him.
Among these, it is understood in these
circles, that MIR. Seward gives the matter
up. Mr.. McCulloch's recognition of
Mr.. Stanton, in honoring his acquisitions,
has given no pleasure at the White
House, and the action of Robert j. Walk
er, IN advising strongly against forcing
Trouble, and in sustaining Gen. Emory,
have all combined to break down the
spirit Of Mr.. johnson amazingly. His
confidential friends say he has now absol-
utely no plan whatever for the future.

by the name of George w. Porter, whose
parents, brothers, sisters, and relatives
were all murdered at Redwood. Mimi, in
the great Indian massacre of 1861 He
is the sole survivor, and was the only one
left to communicate the mournful intelll-
gence to the nearest settlement. Bereft
in one brief hour Of all that he held dear
on earth, and with the victims of savage
ferocity extended in death before him, he
took solemn vow of vengeance. How
well he has performed that VOW, the read
er may judge when we state that in six
years, young Porter has, alone, and with
the assistance of nothing but his trusty
rifle, sent to the happy hunting grounds
the souls Of one hundred and eight In
dian braves!
He carries with him a piece of cane
brake, about twelve inches in length and
whenever he killed an Indian he would
make notch in this. One hundred and
eight notches are now to be counted on
the piece of cane alluded to, the last one
being cut on Christmas, 1866 Surely
young Porter has been an avenging
Nemesis on the footsteps of those who
slaughtered his kindred. The Indians
killed embrace representatives from near
ly every tribe on the pains. BY night
and by day he followed them; through
the trackless forests, over desert wastes,
by the mountain sides, aud in the lonely
l,or l. L.. 81
the crack of the rife and the death yell
proclaimed that another redskin had been
sent to his final account. and stated with
blood the vengeance of his pursuer.
Porter has not passed through all these
perllous scenes unscathed. His body has
been riddled by eleven bullets, and slash
ed in thirty-three places by the knife
But he has Withstood all, comet ont vic.
torlous and now exhibits with pride the
trophies of his power. Truly, his par
eats and relatives have been deeply, ter

HE GREAT SToRM.-The great snow
storm of Sunday the 1st inst extended
from beyond the Missouri, in belt rang
ing from the south half Of Dakotah to
Kansas, and eastwardly over the states Of
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, the Canadas, Western Pennsyl-
vania, New York and the New England
States South of the line of Il degrees,
this storm was accompanied by rain, and
ID some places by slight sprinkle of
snow. North of that line there was no
rain, but fall Of snow almost uuprecedent-
ed at any time, but never equalled as late
IN the season Of March. This depth of
snow, rendered more obstructive to travel
ing because Of its drifting and its close
massing, under the force of furious wind,
extended as far eastward, north of the
line of the Pittsburg g. Fort Wayne
Railway, as Sew England 1t was par
ticularly severe in Michigan and Western
New York.
