The InlpencIlmenf.

BY reference to the impeachment news
published in this issue cur readers viii
be furnished as correct an opinion of the
result as We could offer. Contrary to
our expectations, several radical Sena-
tors Fesendcn, Trumbull, Grimes and
Henderson, have broke party shaekles,
aud declared in favor of the Presidents
acqnittal, while sufficient number of
other wavering members is claimed by
the Presidents friends to insure his ac-
auittal. However, we have seen no au-
thoritative count by which the requisite
number can be safely calculated upon.
The Senate which was to have taken the
vote on Tuesday last adjourned until
Ssssrday, alledging as an excuse the i'll
ness of Senator Howard. The postpone
ment is a mere subtetfuge-the Radical
leaders seeing that if the vote upon the
question of the Presidents conviction
had been taken, the result would have
been disastrous to their wishes, their
hopes and their political fortunes, and
therefore they have taken until Satur-
day, to try what political engineering can
accomplish.
The bold position of the four Senators
mentioned changes, greatly, the aspect
e impeachment. We have never had
doubt but that the President would bt
convicted and deposed, and notwlth-
standing the excitement at Washington
iavoring his acquittal, yet hold TO th'
view, fearing that the party lash vii
whip two-tlIirds vote into harness, oi
at least into an indefinite postponement
Of the decision, holding the result as
standing menace to the Presidents fu-
ture notion.

What could be more pleasant than to
have place Of general resort, where
everybody could meet everybody, ex-
change friendly greetings, take an ice or
glass of soda, with your friends-prom-
enade with your sweetheart; and we
should make DO objection to having the
whole thing enliyened by choice music.
The chalybeate springs near town would
be an admirable spot-a pretty walk and
IS situated delightfully."-. At very trifling
cost some enterprising citizen could
make the idea pay. The great draw
back is that Objectionable persons toe
often are admitted to such places and
nnavoidably nlingle with our sons and
daughters The managers would Ger
tatuly have such police advantages as to
insure protection from obuoxious char
acters and make our resort a perfect

Town TaIk.

Turn we now from the dull monotony
of town and seek recreation amid the
picturesque scenery of the country, its
woods bowed in shadowy greatness and
the deep foliage waving to US gladstone
wellcome. The morning dawns Light
footed and serene, and with spirit buoy
ant and free, We give but little thought
to the wintry like winds which whistle
threateningiy at the door Of Summer j;
but, hail the faintest breath of perfume
in the air, whispering of sweet scented
wild roses on tse sunny slopes of the
distant hills, those hills far away from
our pent up, prison like little town. At
the risk, too, of being accused of a
:. flower" effort, we hearken to the soft,
sweet MARBLES of the forest chandeliers,
and watch their joyous moysEas they
shoot through the air to meet the caresses
of the down streaming sunshine. What
relief to the taxed aud wearied mind
A better feeling for his fellow man, and
stronger hope for his own future,
blesses him. The misanthrope who
broods over ills, whether real or fancied,
aud refuses to enjoy the pleasure and
happiness that nature spreads out before
her children, is unconsciously taking
rapid strides towards that vortex that
l...- ..7seady received countless victims.
We need to go forth into the open fields,
and let Gods sunshine fall upon our
SCARED and shattered lives, feel the di-
vine influences of the countless flowers
that are blossoming around every path
way, and open our hearts to the glad
music of the summer birds; there shall
we learn how
. Sweet are the uses of adversely,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears vet a precious jewel in his head

From the Lexington Statesman.
The fuii monotony of our city was
broken on Wednesday by little episode
which threw impeachment talk aud ex-
citement completely in the shade, and
clearly demonstrated that truth is often
times stranger than fiction. The facts
in the case are these, and certainly proves.
that there is g many a slip twixt the
cup and the lip" a young gentleman
of prepossessing appearance, hailing from
the wealthy county of Madison, wooed
and won the heart of most estimable
and handsome young lady of Fayetse
After several months courtship, and The.
disappointments appertaining thereto,
the ceremony was duly performed at the
First Presbyterian church in this CITY,
on Tuesday last, and the happy pair,
with buoyant hopes, took the afternoon
train for Cincinnati, to spend the happy
honey MOON The hours, on rosy wings,

SUMNER AMUsEMENTs.-Now that
the summer mor->hs. with their accompa
nying dull times and bodily mental iner

consider what we can do to make the sea
son pass more pleasantly. Our young
men instead of lounging their evenings
in idleness, could at very trihing cost,
get up games of ball, cricket matches,
rcgattas, moonlight excursions, fishing
excursions, with eulivening music, any OF
all of which, would add to the health
and well being of our people. We have
in our town a number of young men and
ladies. of acknowledged musical ability.
Gould some of them not be induced to
give concert say one night in every
week-issuing tickets Of admissions at a
nominal price-just enough to cover ex-
penses and leave them margin for con
/ tiugencies; or, if they prefer, charge
regular prices and let the funds be APP
propriated to charitable purposes. OuI
most learned men are agreed that one
great need Of the American people is
relaxation and amusement. life. as VI

recreation that is essential to the health
Of the body and the happiness Of the
