Past history completely demon
SHates the fact, that lblic jour

prosperity to all commercial enter
prsos. Our fourishing towns are
indebted to the press for their rap
id growth, and success. Insignif-
cant villages have been, Gas if by.
magic transformed into cities
The cultivator of a few acres, en-.
larges his liliputian farm, and dis

industrial and scientific pursuit is,
in a graeat measure, indebted for
success to public journals. for they

Especial Despatch to the Baltimore SUM
WAsHINGToN, March Sat seven o.
clock last evening the sorgent at arms Of
the Senate called at the White House to
sorye upon the President the writ Of sum-
mons on the impeachment. The proceed
ings were very brief Upon the announce
mcnt of the usher that the officer of the
Senate had arrived to see Mr. Johnson, the
latter directed Mr. Brown, the sergent-at-
arms, to be admitted.
After the usual civil salutations Mr..
Brown said, "Mr. President, Ihavo here q
package which am ordered by the Senate
of the United States to deliver to yo,l," t
the same time handing sealed envelope
or package containing the writ, etc. Mr..
johnson replied. every well, sir, it shall
have my attention." 2Ir. Brown--"Uood
evening, Mr.. President" Mr.. Johnson
GOOD evening, M. Brown" And here
Mr.. Brown withdrew Shortly aftcrward
the President opened the package, and
found therein the writ, including a copy of
the articles of impeachment, etc, substan-
TALLY as anticipated in these dispatches in
Saturdays paper. 49,, .r,.,-
i, is given out tonight that one other
article Of impeachment willbc proposed in
the House Tomorrow, through General
Butlcr, based upon charge made by one
Bclknap, formerly purser at the Brooklyn
hayward, who alleges that the President
has neglected to restore him to his official
position, from whichh was suspended
some two or three years ago. a's..
Belknap's statement is that the govern
ment funds at the Brooklyn navy-yard
were sotlcn; that he caused to be arrested
several parties whom he believed to be the
thieves, and had them delivered into the
custody of the Navy Department; that
afterwards the accused were liberated
that Belknap was charged with defalcation
in 100000, the sum stolen that he Yves
suspended; that he demanded of the Sec
rotary of the Navy trial by naval court
martial; that, according to law, if no such
trial be ordered in twelve months after
demanded, the President must restore the
suspended officer to his former official
position; that no trialwas ordered; that
Belknap has asked to be restored, but
the President and the Secretary of the
Navy have failed to comply with. the
demand. Upon this. statement Belknar
urges another article Of impeachment, and

propose such article in the House t&mor.

Full returns from the Alabama
election have not yet been received
at headquarters, although there is
no doubt now that the constitution
is lost, 1t appears from the re-
cords that Gen. Pope originally
ordered the election to be but for
two days, and that the change to
four days was made by Gen. Meade
in accordance with the direct sug-
gestion of General Grant.
