NEW YORK.
Excitement over News from Wash
ingtOn-S6,OO0 In Gold Found By a
LabOrer York Specials.

NEW YORK, May 16.-There was
much excitement over the news from
Washington to-day. The President 5
friends were jubilant.
The Tribune, as a measure of pru-
dence, took down a bulletin which
had been posted, containing a list Of
Republicans who voted for acquittal
under the caption of traitors" No
public demonstration has yet been
made.
Sixty thousand dollars in gold was
found yesterday by a laborer in an
old building in Hoboken formerly
used as a bank.
A large pile OF grass, saturated with
oil. was found On fire in the cellar of
a tenement house last night. The
discovery was made just in season to
prevent horrible consequences.
New YoRK, May 16.-The Tribune,
editorially, says:
Our midnight dispatches leave no
doubt that the Court viii vote to-day
upon the case Of The People Us. An
drew johnson. His Excellency' :
bosom friends, who have access to his
state and know precisely what means
he has taken to convince men that
black is white, and that he is not
guilty Of the offense charged IN the
Articles of impeachment, say that
the Court will acquit him; but Re-
publicans, who do not speak Tashly,
and who have made exhaustive in
quiry and a careful count, are sure
that the country is not to be surren-
dered to the rebellion.
Mr.. Wiley is believed to be the
pivotal vote, and he Is held to be safe
on two articles, possibly on three.
Our friends In Washington are not
over confident, but they have by no
means lost hope.
The WOrld's Washington special
says: a caucus was held Friday night,
at Senator Pomeroy's residence, at
which the Radicals decided upon a
vote to-day. The decision of this
caucus had made the friends Of the
impeachment very confident.
Theodore Tilton, who appears to
hold confidential relations with the
Radical wing of the Senate, declares
that conviction Is sure; and George
Wilkes is putting up more money on
the strength of the same opinion.
Senator Wiley, hitherto reckoned
on the side of acquittal, is still doubt
ful; per contra, Senator Ross, hith-
erto reckoned on the side of the Con-
stitution, is also thought to be doubt
ful. Senator Fowler will surely
according to every report, vote not
guilty on al, the articles.
am still confident that the Presi-
dent will get clear, but the vote will
be very close.

STAY AT HOME, BOYS.

A Southern friend of ours, who is tenn
porarily sojourning in New York, writes us
as follows "Tell our people, especially the
young men who contemplate a search for
fortune in this metropolis, to stay at home.
OF the thirty thousand Southerners in and
around the city, probably not one-third are
earning their salt. As light porters, SUBJ
ordinate clerks on microscopal salaries, or
as 'sbashful drummers," among their home
acquaintances, a portion of these unfortu-
mates are worrying out all the ambition
which constituted their stock in trade, and
cursing the hour in which they left friends
and hearthstone. New York is no Eldora-
do for any one without capital"
"Let South Carolina boys treasure this
up, and bear in mind that the same energy
displayed at home that is required in New
York to keep soul and body together,
would net them respectable competency"
We addict them also bear in mind that
this respectable competency" can be read
lily acquired by patient industry in cultiva-
ting the face of the earth. Let our young
men and boys learn that manual labor is
honorable, and that the earth will never
place her riches in the dilatory hands of
freedmen; but will yield an ample reward
to those who diligently cultivate and enrich
her worn out soils, bestowing upon them
such labors as are meet to convert them in
to fruitful fields and gardens.

WHAT RAILROADS Do FOR FARMERS
To- haul forty bushels of corn fifty miles on
q wagon would cost at least $12 for team,
driver and expenses. A railroad would
transport it for "a, at most. Allowing on
an average of forty bushels per acre, the
crop would be worth So more per acre, or
eight per cent. on 800. As the relative
advantage is about the same for other crops
it is clear, that railroad passing through
a town would add 500 per acre to the val
ue of the farms. A town ten miles square
contains $4,000 acres. An increase Of
$100 per acre is equal to $1,000, 900, or
enough to build two hundred miles of rail-
road, even at cost of $4,000 per mile.
But two hundred miles of road would ex-
tend through twenty towns ten miles square
and cost but $40 per acre if taxed upon
the land These figures are given merely
as an.ilIustration. If the farmers had tax u.
ed themselves to build all the railroads in
this country, and given them away to any
companies that would stock and run them,
the present increased value of their lands
would have well repaid all the outlay.

THE WORKING MAN.

He is the noblest man of whom our free
country can boast; whether in the work.
shop or at the plow, you find the same no.
Bile hearted, free and independent being.
And if there is man in society upon whom
we look with esteem and admiration, it is
the independent, sober workingman. We
care not whether he be farmer, mechanic
or common laborer-whether his tolls are
endured in the workshop, or the coal mine !:
whether his home is in the backwoods or in
the neat cottage-our admiration is the
same. What a happy picture he presents; |;
what a reward for his labor, who by his
own unaided exertions, establishes for him
self a respectable position in society; who,
commencing in poverty; by his skill and
assiduty, surmounts every obstacle, over
comes every prejudice, and finally succeeds
in forming character whose value is en-
hanced by those who come after him.
Such man we prize as the noblest work
of which human nature is capable-the
highest production she can boast. And
let it be borne in mind by the young work.
ing man just entering upon the stage of ac-
tive life-let it ever lie at the foundation
and be the moving spring of his Efforts
that this situation he must strain every
nerve to attain. 1t can be attained by all.
Untiring industry and virtuous ambition
never will fail while honesty and justice find
home in the human breast. 1t was remark
ed by an eloquent writer, that the working
man who had no inheritance but virtue, is
the sole king among men, and the only
man among kings.
He envies not the son of ease,
Nor lord in princely hall; t...
But bows before the wise decree,
In kindness meant for all"

ORIGIN OF FooLscAp.-Every scho,

ORIGIN OF FooLscAp.-Every schoolboy
knows what foolscap paper is, but we doubt
whether one in hundred that daily use it
can tell why it was so called. When OH;
YER Cromwell became Protector, after the
execution of Charles l., he caused the stamp
of the cap of liberty to be placed upon the
paper used by the government. Soon after
the restoration of Charles H., he had oc.
casion to use some paper for dispatches, and
some of the government paper was brought
to him. On looking at it and discovering
this stamp, he inquired the meaning of it,
and on being told, he said, 'Tske i away;
I'll have nothing to do with . FOOLS cap"
Thus originated the term ''foolscsp," which
has been applied to size of writing paper
usually about sixteen by thirteen inches.
