RALEIGH, March 81, 1871
Dear Journal Another day Of interest
a1d excitement. Another Impeachment
commenced, and another offender to be
brought to justice. The House of Repre-
sentatives to day adopted the Articles of
impeachment against "Jay-bird" Jones'
The Articles are five in number, and charge
the accused with publicly exposing himself
in u state of beastly intoxication. The
first Article locates the offence as commit
ted in the city of Raleigh the second in
the town of Goldsboro'; the third in Tar
boro'; the fourth in Williamson, while
holding Court on the Goth inst, and the
fifth, in the same place, on the next day,
the Dist inst.
The Managers of Impeachment are. Hon.
8. E. Phillips, Chairman. Capt. S. A. Ashe,
of New Hanover. COL E. B. Withers, of
Caswell, Col. Lee M. McAfee, of Ruther-
ford, and Capt. David Settle. of Rocking
ham. This is quite an able Board, and the
pro eoution will be well sustained by these
gentlemen. There will not be any associ-
ate counsel, as there was in the late I'm
parchment. The fact of the Chairman of
the Board of Managers being a Republi-
can, is sufficient indication that this is
no party or political movement, bat an
honest effort to remove this disgrace from
the once honored Judiciary of the State.
There can be no doubt as to the guilt of
the Respondent, and every allegation made
in the articles will be fully proven. In or
der to save as much time as possible, the
Managers proceeded to the Senate at 8
O'Clock to night. and there formally pre-
sented the Articles, which were read, and
the Senate Immediately organized itself
into High Court of impeachment. Efforts
were made, and much fllibustering done,
by several Senators, to postpone further
action until next November, but the Senate
very properly resolved that the accused was
entitled to a speedy trial according to law
The oath was duly administered to each
Senator present by Judge Warren, the
presiding officer, and the Court duly and
formally organized. The rules adopted in
the late trial were retained as the rules of
the Court i'm this. An order was made, that
o summons be issued against the accused,

TO lie Editoy IF Daily Journal:
On the Dist of January, 1871, and about
sunrise, Jordan Shaw, negro, went down
to the spring to get bucket Of water.
Just as he was stoo2ipg down man
Jumped up out of the bushes aud said :
''Halloo, DO you trade?' Shaw said, 'No,
but Captain Piummer will be here in
minute aud you can get what you want. !"
A few minutes after [ came flOm the house
aud when [ got TO the store Shaw hal the
door closed and was standing in the door,
aud was very much frightened. [ asked
him what was the matter, and he said Hen
ry Berry was down TO the spring. [ said
no, that could not be-and did not think
any thing more about it. About O'Clock
the same evening they all came TO my
store and walked in, and Gsked if / had
any powder and shot / said yes. and I
let them have it, They then took some
boots and shoes, and told Ire they would
pay for them some time; and furthermore,
told me to keep my mouth shut. aud if
brought tronble on my own head, l must
look out. They then asked me if Charley
Gilbert was here. l told them no, he
went TO Wilmington the day before.
They said, dam lucky thing
for him; that if they could
ever get their eyes on him. it would be
all four o'clock with him. They further
more said they would have been hero be-
foro for him, only they were detained at
some other place. Mr.. ID. j. Gilbert will
explain why his son left and how he came
to leave. / Immediately wrote to Mr..
Gilbert asking him what [ should do if
| they ever came to my store again. and
this was his reply; ''Get them to come at
some appointed time. and l will have a
posse up from WilmingtoG and capture the
| internal tiends of hell" | also informed
! two of my neighbors of the fact and asked
their advice i'll the mattor.
This is IL true statement, aud l cannot
think apy honest man will blame me,
paced i'll the position that [ WAS, also
| knowing the character of the men. shall
say nothing more will leave it fer the
people to judge for themselves.

CoroR B1,rNpNEss j. Clerk Maxwell writes
in Nature Experiments on color indicate
very considerable differences between the
vision of different persons, all of whom are
of the ordinary type. A color, for instance,
which one person on comparing it with white
will pronounce pinkish, another will pro-
nounce greeenish. This difference, however,
does not arise from any diversity in the ma
ture of the color sensations in different per-
sons. 1t is exactly of the same kind as
would be observed if one of the persons
wore yellow spectacles. In fact, most OF
Us have, near the middle of the retina,
yellow spot through which the rays must pass
before they reach the sensitive organ; this
spot appears yellow because it absorbs the
rays, which are of greenish blue color. Some
of us have this spot strongly developed.
am indebted to Professor Stokes for the
knowledge of method by which any one
may see whether he has this yellow spot 1t
consists in looking at a white object through
a solution of chromium, or at a screen
on which light which has passed through
this solution is thrown. This light is a mix
ture of red light with the light which is so
strongly absorbed by the yellow spot. When
it falls on the ordinary surface of the retina
it is of a neutral tint, but when it falls on the
yellow spot only the red light reaches the
optic nerve, and we see a red spot floating like
IOHy ClOuu over Uu0 luItuludIeu uoAu.
''There are several interesting facts about
the color sensation which 1 can only mention
briefly. One is that the extreme parts of the
retina are nearly insensible to red. If you
hold a red flower and blue flower in your
hand as far back as you can see your hand,
you will lose sight of the red flower, while
you still see the blue yne. Another is, that
when the light is diminished red objects
become darkened more in proportion
than blue ones The third is,
that kind of color blindness in which blue
is the absent sensation can be produced arti-
fcially by taking doses of santonine. This
kind of color blindness is described by DIR.
Edmund Rose, of Berlin. 1t is only tempo
rary, and does not appear to be followed by
any more serious consequences than head
aches I must ask your pardon for not hav-
ing undergone course of this medicine, even
for the sake of becoming able to give you in
formation at first hand about color blind
ness"

Turkey will have as much to do as her
neiehbors when the general disarmament
commences, and will not only have to lay
down her arms, but also to fish a certain
number up. The torpedo department at Zei-
toun-Bournou, attached to Tophaneh, under
the direction of the Grand Master of Artil-
lery, is, according to the Le0dnt Herald,
making rapid progress but the proceedings
are being accomplished SO quietly by the able
American officer who has organized the works
that little is known on the subject to the out
side public, and the extent and power of these
defenses of the sea approaches to CONSTANT
nople will, when they come to be known,
probably cause some surprise. The factories
at Zeitoun- Bournou have completed large
number of massive hemispherical iron tanks,
each of which will contain from 6000 to 1000
pounds of powder and it is intended to build
200 of these tanks and sink them in suitable
parts of the Dardanelles and the Sea of Mar
mora, at the Black Sea mouth, and in the
Bosphorus. They are double riveted, andare
made stronger than the strongest steam
boilers, as they will, when sunk, have to sup
port q pressure of about 20 pounds to the
square inch. These tanks are, in short,
submarine mines, containing the most terri
bly, destructive charges of powder, lying on
the bed of the sea, and explosible at will
from the shore by electricity. They will be
fitted with an apparatus very durable, but at
the same time most delicate and unerring,
which indicates at once to the operator at the
battery on land the passage of any ship over
the spots at which they are sunk. The ex-
plosion of one of them in the deep waters of
the Bosphorus would utterly annihilate,
within radius of about 200 yards, the lar
gest iron-c clad ever built. These submarine
mines are destined, of course, only for de-
fensive purposes; but they will also be sup
plemented by system of torpedo-rams for
offensive attacks. These torpedo-rams are,
it is stated, marked improvement
upon those which were used with
great effect during the American civil war
against the Federal fleet. Within a week or
so two vessels will be destroyed as an expert
ment, at Buyuk-Liman, near the Black Sea
entrance of the Bosphorus-one by the ex-
plosion of a submarine tank, and the other
by ram torpedo attached to steam launch.
Turkish waters are peculiarly adapted for
torpedoes, and with the arrangements now in
progress at Zeitoun-Bournou Turkey will
soon be in possession of the most extensive
and complete system of torpedo defenses
now in existence.

LAKE YELLowsToNE.-Lake Yellowstone is
lonely but lovely inland sea, everywhere
surrounded by forests primeval, and nestled
in the bosom of the Rocky Mountains. Some
trappers have insisted that its waters ran both
to the Atlantic and Pacific, but such is not the
case. The summit of the main chain, how
ever, approaches within half mile of its
south shore, and in places the divide is very
little above the lake. Its shape resembles
the broad hand of an honest German who has
had his forefnger and the two adjoining shot
off at the second joint, while fighting for glory
and Emperor William. The palm of the hand
represents the main body, or north part of
the lake. The fingers and thumb, spread to
their utmost extent-the thumb and little
finger being much the ongest-represent in
let's indeDting the south shore, and stretch
ing inland, as if to wash away the Rocky
Mountains. Between these inlets project
high, rocky promontories, covered with dense
timber. The largest stream flows into the
lake at its upper end, or the extreme south
east corner. This stream is really the Yellow
stone river, which, for distance of thirty
miles, has an average width of over fifteen
miles. This enlargement constitutes the
lake, which, after being augmented by several
smaller streams narrows down to the width
of an eighth of mile, and flows northward
toward the great falls.-Ihe 'OoerLGRd

The LANGUAGE OF THE GIPsIEs.-The vul-
gar notion has long been that the gipsies
were nothing more than the gatherings-up of
the nomsdic rogues and tramps of the coun-
tries wherein they were t o be found, and that
their language was little more than a mere
thieves slang But the more learned in mat
ters chronological maintain that their physical
features and peculiarities alone sufficiently
answer the first taunt; and that, as regards
the second, the folk-speech of the gipsies is
really a language. One enthusiastic Ger
man doctor says:-"This national language
does not originate either in the Egyptian
or any other tongue, but solely in the
idioms of Northern Hindustan; and thus,
though ever SO much adulterated,
it stands in affinity with-of all
tongues, the most perfect in combination and
structure-the proud Sanscrit, aud, however
modestly, may glory in the parentage." 1t
has been often asserted that Indian officers
have been able to understand the gypsy lan-
guage, simply from their knowledge of Hin
dustani, and it is a curious fact that if some
of the gypsy words in George Borrow's inte-
resting story of ''Lavengro' are taken and
compared with the Hindustanf, they are found
TO correspond almost exactly-as, for instance,
the words signifying snake, man, knife,
woman. Once Week.

ONE OF THE YELLOWSTONE GEYsERs.--One
of the most remarkable geysers was 'The
Giantess." For yards around the ground
rose gradually to its crater, but Immediately
about it was no formation rising above the
surface, as was the case with all the other
geysers which we saw in active operation.
When quiet, it was clear, beautiful pool,
caught in a subsilica urn or vase, with a
hollow, bottomless stem, through which the
steam came bubbling, just like the efferves-
cence of champagne from the bottom of a
long, hollow-necked glass. The mouth of
the vase, represented by the surface, was
twenty feet by thirty; and the neck, fifty feet
below, was fifteen feet by ten. The water, at
times, retired to the level of the neck, or vent,
and at other times rose nearly to the surface.
When in action ''The Giantess" became a
fountain with five jets, shooting the spray TO
height of two hundred feet. AT the surface
the largest jet was about two feet in dame
ter. and is kept in solid column for more than
one hundred and fifty feet before breaking
into drops and spray. 1t burst forth Just be-
fore sunset, and the last rays of light gave
prismatic tints to the glistening drops, when,
having reached their utmost altitude, they
trembled at their coming fall. The clouds of
steam which in this, as in all other instances,
accompanied the boiling water, became q
golden fleece lit up by wreaths of rainbows
Though inferior to 'The Giantess" in immen.
sity of volume, and perhaps in grandeur,
''The Giantess' was by far the most beautiful
sight we saw in the gayest basin.--1he O0er.
