Cd that impeachment is o party measure, but It
Is also something higher than that-ths welfare
of the country, the salvation Of our government,
II may be, depend upon It. And the Republic
cans who vote against will not only act In oppo-
sition to their party, and subject themselves to
the censure to which all men who violate party
usages are liable, but they will put themselves
in opposition to the interests Of the country, AMI
place themselves side by side in history with the
men who have turned traitors to the govern
ment In other important eras In our history.
That Democratic Senators should sustain the
President Is not surprising, and this act will not
add to the infamy Of those who have opposed the
government during the war, but that Rcpubli-
can Senators would thus net was / ct anticipated.
and those who provo traitors at this crisis will
be remembered by mn indignant people as men
who sinnod with the full knowledge that they
were doing wrong, and were willing to brave
the CONSEQUENCES.

dent who is much disposed to circulate good
books with other good things, calls attention,
in a recent letter, to matter worthy OF the
notice of all our publishers. He remarks
ALLOW me to make suggestion. 1t would
accommodate many Of your readers if, when
you notice new works, you would give the
price. The number of pages is frequently
given, but seldom the price, and one cannot
order, if the book should be wanted. "
Our answer is, that we have again and again
called the attention of those sending books for
editorial notice, to this matter. They all, at
once admitted the advantage to themselves Of
giving the price Of the book, but only one
publisher has done so, except where we
took the trouble of sending and obtaining
the information by special request If they
will not regard their own interest enough to
mark the price of their books, it l. their own
loss. 1t is plain enough to others that many
an order, with the money, would come to their
stores, could they be induced to move just a
little out of the old ruts.

CHURCH IN WASHINGTON CITY.

A new Presbyterian church has been or
ganized in Washington City, under the care
of the Rev. A. W. Pitzer, of the Synod of
Virginia, who has for some months past been
laboring very sssiduously and acceptably in
preparing the way for this result. On last
Sabbath week, after sermon by the Rev. L.
V. Moore, ID. D., of Richmond, who had been
invited to conduct the worship of the congre-
CATION on this occasion, about fifty names were
announced by Mr.. Pitzer as members OF this
newly formed organization. Two ruling elders
we're elected. One of these was DIR. Muncas
ter, and the other the venerable General Nc
Gala, the oldest elder in Washington City
A letter expressed in terms of much kindness,
was given him BY the Session of DR.. Gurley'
church, and the same is true, we understand
in regard to others who join in this covenant
This little flock has from the first been
steadily increasing, and their prospects grow
ing brighter. They have secured for the pre-
sent one of the most commodiouS halls in the
city. Their Sabbath School which had ten
scholars at the start, has now about one hun
uItu, anu III all lGS ulOSJ uldt6rlal aspects tue
organization is meeting with unlocked for ia,
vor, such as greatly to encourage the hearts of
those engaged in it.
1t will be connected, we understand, with
the Presbytery of Patapsco, and of course will
be regarded as Southern Presbyterian church.
And here it is proper to commend the good
Judgment as well as the Christian spirit shown
by DR.. Gurley towards this movement. So
far from becoming vexed with such of his
members as applied for letters of dismission
with view to join it, he treated them with
marked kindneSS-Said that with their senti.
ments in regard to questions which had agi-
tated the Church, their comfort would be pro-
moted-that by a Southern Presbyterian
Church being organized many might be saved
to Presbyterianism who would otherwise be
lost-and that he therefore babe them god
speed. This manifests right spirit Of chart
ty, which rises above the narrow bounds Of
mere party interest. There are other places,
it may be South as we'll as North of Washing
ton City, where the application of such consid
eratiOns might have happy effect upon the
cause of Presbyterianism.
