His EXcellen,
President elect.

I'm pc c hment.
Now that the House has resolved upon
impeachment, the mode Of proceeding in
such cases becomes matter Of interest
The House must appoint commtte to
draw up the articles. with the power to
send for persons and papers. When the
articles have been reported to the House
and adopted, five managers will be ap,
pointed by the House to conduct the i'm
parchment before the Senate. On an
appointed day, the Senate will convene as
Il High Court Of impeachment. Chief
Justice Chase presiding. Each Senator
will take an oath as juror in the case.
inform the House Of the readiness Of the
Court. The managers appointed by the
House will appear and seat themselves
within the bar. The Chairman will read
the articles of impeachment. The Chief
Justice will advise the managers that the
Senate will take proper action. A sum-
mons will be served on the President, and
the trial will commence. AT the conclu-
sion of the evidence the Chief Justice will
direct the Secretary to read the charge,
and each Senator will be asked in turn.
by the Chief Justice, whether he believes
the President TO be guilty, and will answer.
An affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
Senators present is necessary to conviction.
The next question asked of every Senator
will be whether the President shall be
disqualified to hold any Office of emolu
ment or trust under the government of
the United States.
What are the chances Of conviction
The present Senate is composed Of ~
Republicans and 10 Democrats, with one
vacancy in Kentucky and one in Mary
land-the latter created by the election of
the rightful Senator. The former will be
filed by McCreery, now chosen. The
latter will remain vacant. Only 80 Sana-
tors voted in condemnation Of the Presi-
dent upon Mr.. Wilson'S resolution but it
is believed that the remainder may DO
brought up to the mark.
The President may challenge the array,
and deny the power Of such Senate to
try him. 1t is not a fair jury when ten
States are excluded, and Senator after
Senator has been expelled.
If deposed before the 4th of March 4.
the President Of the Senate will occupy
the Executive chair. Ben. Wade, one Of
the most reckless and beastly Of the Rad
ieal crew, is to take the leap forward
to be transferred to the White House,
there to remain till March 4, lS60.-Ltica

Female Clerks.

Female Clerks. -s
The editor of the Albany Knickerbockey
is in Europe and sends the following ac-
count of the general employment Of fe-
males
The women, by the way, do nearly all
the trading in Ireland. At our hotel a
woman shows us to our room, you pay
your bill to woman, and you are politely
bowed out of the hotel by the hsusekeep.
cr. 1t is rare to find retail store in
Cork where female is not seen behind
the counter. We are told the same thing
prevails throughout the British provinces.
The reason given fer employing them is
that their follies are less enormous, but
much lower priced. Females may sport ff-
ty dollar mantles, but they never go on
fifty dollar 'busts.' Females never spend
whole weeks wages on billiard tables
Girls never ''put the party through;"
kick up a row, and get dragged to the
''station house." Fast horses they also
avoid, and roulette tables and same cocks.
Who ever saw female hanging around =
gambling table, or betting her last five
dollars that she can tell where the ''littlc
joker is ~ Who ever saw female clerk,
after the store was shut, ram bling up
Broadway, "tracing thunder" and break
ing thinks? Who ever saw a respectable
girl knocking over dry good boxes and
standing "M. P.'s' on their heads No
one; and yet respectable young men do
these things nightly. When wasa female
clerk ever arrested for having ''suspi
cious character" locked up in a store with
her after midnight? In view Of all these
facts, is it any wonder that the merchants
on this side run to female clerks!

Interesting Letter.

The following copy Of letter, alluded
to by Senator Dixon in his speech in cx-
ccutive session. written by Secretary Stan.
ton to President johnson when the latter
resigned his position as Military Governor
of Tennessee, will be interesting at this
particular moment as contrast between
the way in which the defender Of the
constitution in 1865 and the same defender
in 1868 were regarded:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WAsnISGToS, March 3, 1865.
SIR This Department has accepted
your resignation as Brigadicr General and
Military Governor of Tennessee. Permit
me on this occasion to render to you the
thanks of this Department for your patri-
otic and able services during the eyentful
period through which you have exercised
the high trusts committed to your charge.
In one of the darkest hours Of the great
struggle for national existence against re-
bellious foes, the government called you
from the Senate and from the comparative
ly safe and easy duties of civil life to place
yos in front of the enemy, and in position
OF personal toll and danger, perhaps, more
hazardous than was encountered by any
other citizen or military officer Of the
United States. With patriotic promptness
you assumed the past, and maintained it
under circumstances of unparalleled trials,
until recent events have brought safety and
deliverance to your State and to the intcg-
rity Of that constitutional Union for which
you so long and SO galantly perilej all that
is dear to man on earth. That you may be
spared to enjoy the new honors and per-
form the high duties to which you have
been called by the people of the United
States, is the sincere wish of one who, in
every official and personal relation, has
found you worthy of the coniden Of the
government, and the honor and esteem of
your fellow citizens.
Your obedient servant,
EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
His Excellency Andrew johnson, Vice
President elect

Addison was an elegant writer, but the following
to an $ Ili-favored Lady" was decidedly moro m
handsome in him than the lady could have been:
While in the dark ON thy soft hand hung,
Aud heard the tempting syren of thy tongae,
What flnies, what darts, what anguish l endured!
But when the candle entered was cured!
But We will give decidedly sharp reply to this
sort Of thing, aud then mako friends:
As Harry, one day. abusing the sex,
As things that in courtship but studied to vex,
All in marriage but sought to enthrall;
"Never mind him." says Kate, "'Tis family whim;
His father agreed so exactly with him
That he never would marry at ALL"

Young Ladies.

Young Ladies.
If you are married man, your course
is clear enough; they regard you with in
difference; allow you to take seat at their
fathers table without troubling themselves
to crticise either your demcanor or your
dress. 10 them you are a dummy
monk--a monopolizcd individual; you are
safe in this Indifference except when you
oitciously offer your arm to them, and SO
stand in the way of younger or single
man. A married man, therefore, derives
at least one advantage from his double
state-the advantage of being regarded by
the book muslin and bare shoulders that
crowd metropolitan drawing rooms with
indifference, or may be contempt. Let a
married man presume to poster young
lady to dance with him twice in one even
ing, and he would be sorry to overheal
her comments on him ut the Tomorrow
breakfast. A Benedict must submit to be
snubbed by virgins. The truth must &c
forth: In the estimation of young ladies
family man is IL nuisance in company.
The above is from the pen of II homely
cross, old, ill-grained cuss who knows
nothing of the temperament of young
lady. Or experience is exactly the re
verse. IEe-that is to say, is, were, are
or an, a married man and we can't hely
it. "Aint sorry fur it nuther'' and we
never got scared at the conduct Of ladies,
old or young, in parlor, balls or excur.
Sions. The truth about it is that a married
man is supposed to be graduate in life
and young ladies are much less fearful o
Il word from him than they are of gree,
chap who is seeking for information. Nc

And they matched with your golden hair, my pet.

The TeTnlOHf Brigdde.

Have the boys of the Brigade ever
heard of Three Years in the Sixth
Corps" by Surgeon Stevens of the 18th
y. y. Volunteers 1t Is glorious book
for the VT, Brigade. from Lees Mills to
Lees surrender-a history of the Sixth
Corps, by very intelligent member of
it. Here is 4 specimen brick-of both
the book and the brigade ;
'.In marching from BoonSboro' to-
wars FunkStOwn, the Vermont brigade
in advance OF the corps, the little stream,
Beaver Greek, was passed, and General
Howe found Butord> cavalry in his adj
vance holding a strong position against
the skirmishcrs of the rebel infantry.
At General Buford's request, General
Howe sought and obtained permission to
send the Vermont Brigade to relieve the
cavalry. Col. Lewis with his Fifth Ncr
mont and part OF the Second, and Col
Barney with the Sixth regiment, at once
lepoved as skirmiShcrS, forming their
line two miles long. The Third and
Fourth regiments were supporting Il bat
terv, and the balance OF the Second was
held in reserve. They saw the rebel in
iantry approach strip of woods in front
and at unce advanced and occupied it
themselves Against this long thin line
of skirmisherS, the rebels opcEcd 4 Sc
we're lire of artillery and musketry, and
advanced to drive the skirmishcrs from
| their position but the brave mountain
GERS never dreaming that 4 Sixth corps
| skirmish line could not hold a rebel line
of battle, resolutely refused to leave and
sent the presumptuous rebel line of bat
tie to the rear in confusion not, how
ever, until Col. Stoughton with the
Fourth and Col. Seaver with the Third,
came forward to the support of the Fifth
and Sixth. Again, the rebels, disgustcl
at being repulScd by 4 skirmish line,
came up in several lines of battle and
charged upon the Nermonters and they
again went to the rear in confusion. =
third charge was made against the obsti-
nate skirmish line, and third time the
attack was broken. Meanwhile a strong
force attempted to cross the Anlietan
and come in on the flank, but was repellec
by the Second Vermont.
The gallant brigade had repelled An.
derson's brigade, of seven large regiment:
from It's front, and another from its
flank
An instance of skirmish line, a mile
and a half from any support, resisting
repeated attacks of troops in line o'
battle, is rarely found in the history oi
armies.
The men used from sixty to eighty
rounds of cartridge, and when the first
,upplv was exhausted 4 fresh one wa.
brought to the front on stretchers.
The victory cost the brigade loss o
