account of the late transactions in Washington, in
reference to the IMPEACHMENT Of the President, is
not so intense as perhaps ID many other localities,
as our people have for months been waiting and
expecting just such state Of public demonstra-
ton. The feeling IS deep, however, and the issue
having been made, future developments are closely
watched 80 :@'e'!..i- 2it"stE .''sA
Saturday, the 22d, being the h-day Of Wash
ton, was duly observed BY closing the Banks and
public Offices, displaying flags, and the parade Of
several military companies. The 5th Regiment Of
the Maryland National Guard was out in full force,
and made beautiful display Their commander,
Col j. R. Herbert is noble veteran of the late
war, having seen active service in the Confederate
cause, and was severely wounded at the battle Of
Gettysburg. His regiment, numbering $50 men,
are mostly Of the same persuasion, and with their
steady step and firm unyielding front, they marched
to the beat of the drum as in former times, when
the countless thousands Of foreign hirelings met
their little band in the bloody contest The grey
uniform sat well, and proudly they bore the insig-
mia Of their long cherished hopes The ladies Of
Baltimore, who ever delight to honor the brave,
appointed this day to consummate the presentation
to them of the flag which was 80 richly merited,
and they were proud to. bestow. The ceremonies
of presentation were very interesting. The balco-
MES of the Eutaw House were crowded to witness
the display, and the gentlemanly proprietor threw
open parlors and sitting rooms to accommodate the
eager gazing throng of beautiful ladies, that crowd
ed for sight Of the Confederate boys" Having
stepped in to take view of the scene, the host
clinched us for dinner. Ridgeley, the Commissa-
~ General, gave US prominent part, and by his
polite and generous attentions, soon compelled our
forces to retire, while the great heaps Of fish, beef
turkeys and wild fowls, as well as pies, cakes and
ice-cream and goodet still arose in grand proper
tions, defying our further attacks Well the Gil
mans know how to get up good dinners and keep
an immense house. '.', ia - '''' 1'''.''@
As to the spring trade, business men now ex-
press the undivided sentiment of financial ruin,
and the most powerful as well as effective influence
which can be e1erted against the Radical impeach-
ment party, viii be felt in this direction. All the
channels Of trade are blocked up, and commercial
men are at loss how to move. Many, very many,
are already bankrupt and we look for general e.
nancial crash. The defom the South has rath-
er been shunnedthan solicited but within the past
few days. inquiries are being made which induces
to conclude that there is an opinion sprung up,
that the South may offer field for a safer trade,
than in the more prosperous North and West,
which has been 80 persistently sought during the
past winter In our poverty and dependence, the
South has often been shamefnlly imposed upon,
even in purchasing scanty supplies. Inferior quail
tiles of goods have found market South, because
her credit was questioned; damaged corn, -four,
bacon, &C., have frequently been shipped there,
hoping to realize something, even at future day,
for articles which, if kept here or sent to other
markets, would prove an entire loss. Hence, we
find among our planters general distrust of the
value Of the various fertilizers I have no doubt
that many, Of the manures used by South Carolina
farmers, last year, were compounded before the
war. Others were purchased from irresponsible
parties sometimes because they were cheap and
frequently because they could be had on credit
which were utterly valueless. Thenewspapers are
crowded with advertisements of PaciGo, Miro

manufacturers of these preparations send out their
