SO The managers are said to be much at fault
what course to pursue in respect to impeach-
ment 1t is said! that Gen. Butler is of opinion
that the best course is to take the vote on Tues
day, as fixed BY the present order of the Sen,
ate, with view to separate the impeachment
sheep from the non-im parchment goats. Others
advocate postponement, SO as to hold the
sword over the Presidents head WITH view to
coerce his action; and others still propose a
new, or twelfth article, on which they will have
to votelthe carpet bag Senators from the South,
about to be brought in under Mr.. Trumbull' 8
auspices. Some of the Radicals affirm and
protest that Impeachment is not dead, but-oniy
sleepeth until Tuesday next, when the second
article, say they, is sure to be carried. But the
general opinion is that impeachment has utter
ly failed, and this opinion was more strongly
entertained yesterday than on any previous oc-
casion. The opinion of good judges is, that
the future policy of the impeachers will depend
largely on the development at Chicago, where
greatlefforts are being made to smother up the
differences in the Radical party:-Nat. Int

WATER TRANsPoRTATI0N.-T excessive
tax which Is levied upon the farming interests
of this end Of the Valley, by the B. & 0. Rail,
road, in its charges for transporting produce to
the eastern markets, has caused number Of
the farmers Of Clarke county, and the South
ern section OF this county, to consult as to the
Feasibility of procuring water transportation
forssthelr grain by means OF the Shenandoah
river, so as to secure an outlet to the =. Il ..
Canal and through it, access to the District
and Alexandria markets The only drawback
is the destruction of the locks in the canal now
under the control of the Shenandoah Naviga
Company-an organization which had IN cxis-
tencc before the war; but which has since, re-
NAMED unorganized and inefficient. If this
company can be induced to reinquish its fran
chises, it is believed that sufficient amount
can readily be raised for the repair Of these
locks, so that by the time the growing crop is
ready for market, the means for its prompt
and secure transportation to the markets OF
the District of Columbia and Alexandria, will
be at hand
On Tuesday last a meeting was held in Der
ryvile, where the subject was informally dis
cussed, and the preliminary arrangements made
to effect the object in view.
It was shown in this meeting that the cost of
transporting bushel of wheat from Harper's
Ferry to Georgetown via the g. & o. Canal,
was six cts. on the bushel, whilst the cost by
railroad from the same point to Baltimore, is
thirteen cts or a difference Of seven cts on
every bushcl sent over these respective lines.
The same disparity of cost of course exists with
regard to every other article OF production
which has to find a market from these two
counties. AS to the markets of the District
and Baltimore, there can be little or no pref
erence, wheat and corn usually ruling as high
in Alexandra and Georgetown, as in the marts
ofBaltimore. = Charzestoa0n Spirit Of jefferson.

TIE IMPEACHMENT PRAYER BUSINESS
When this subject was before the Methodist
Episcopal Genera! Conference, at Chicago Rev
Henry Sliccr. of Baltimore, made some re-
marks from which We extract the following:
II believe in the efficacy OF prayer. and Tor
over fifty years | have been taught by the Bl.
BILE to believe that it is prudent and cxpedient
Ter men to unite fasting with prayer and WhcE
that resolution is taken up, [ shall move as a
substitute that this General Conference set
apart Friday ncxt as a day Of solemn fasting
and prayer in view ct the troubles in which
the country is how lnvolved.' And you can
pray in your seats aud coSe is, either kneeilng
or sitting, as you may tec inclined to do; but
[ trust we will not make ourselves parll5ans IN
the great troubles Of the country by producing
prayers, calculated to promote strife and con.
tcntion, instead Of pouring oil on the troubled
waters.
We arc not here as court Of Impeachment;
we are not here to regulate the affairs Of this
great nation we arc here as the ministers OF
the gospel of peace, and VIC have promised in
our ordination vows, to promote peace and
good will among all people; and L trust that
this ecclesiastical body, while Europe is break
ing loose from The shackcs that bind church
and State, will not set the example Of alIylng
ourselves with any political parry on this con-
lncut. | trust we shall keep ourselves clear
Of that
We hold different political Opinions, and be,
long to different political classes and it is not
the province of this ecclesiastical body to give
shape or direction to public cvcntsi in this great
government We have charge of the religious
interests of the Methodist Episcopal Church !;
and it is not our duty to decide either for the
President or againss the President, or for the
Senate or against the Senate. We are 70 pro-
mote peace and harmony, and pray to God for
his blessing upon the whole American people.
LCres of Amen. y + May God send His bless
ing down on the whole American pcopel |
trust we shall have fasting and prayer instead
of an exhibition Of politics in this conference.
