Speaker Colfax on Impeachment. ‘The following letter appears in the Chicago Tribune of Monday last: Sout BEND, LyD., September To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune: Your telegraphic correspondent at Wooster, Obio, condenses my long speech there last Tuesday into the following half-dozen lines: “In regard to impeachment, Mr. O. said he longingly counted the days till Congress would again meet, when Andrew Johnson would be brought before the Senate for impeachment; and in regard to the threat attributed to the President that he would prorogue Congress, be said that Mr. Johnsen dare not attempt it, for well he knew the end would be that his fest would dance upon air; while the law-makiug power would continue to perform its func- tions. These sentiments were received with great applause ” That was pretty near what I said; but as, at time like this, men who are in public life cesire to be judged on their ezact positions, may I ask brief space in your columns to say that 1 counted ths days till Uongress would @gain meet, bacause in twenty days after that ume Edwin M. Stanton would go back again to the War Department, in spite of the malig- nant President who sought t> expel him trom the position in which he had served tbe coun- try so faithfully; that when Congress resumed its legislative authority, the Howse in accord. ance with the demande of the loyal masses throughout the land. would be required to place the President before the tribunal pro- vided by the Constitution to defend himself there from the charges of persistent usurpa- tions, and persistent violations of the oath which requires Dim to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed: and that. while L did not believe Mr. Johnson dared to faifil the threats against Congress now being made by Washington organs,apparently in hisname, yet whoever did dare to destroy the legislative department of the Government by revolution- ary force, whether President, Cabinet mints- ter, er citizen, would be tried fer nis treason, and punished asa traitor, with his feet, not like the traitors ofgthe recent rebellion, on the earth, but in the Sonvyiee Corrax. THR Sanpwick IsLanp TRBATY.—The reciprocity treaty between this Government and the Hawaiian Government of the Sand- wich Islands bas been ratified by the au- thorities at Honoluln, and will becent to the Senate at the next session for its action there- on. it was prepared in the interest of the monarchists of Hawaii as a flank movement to head off the republicans, who are extremely desirous of annexing the Islands to the United States. The argument used by the monarch- ists 1s that, with San Francisco as @ free port to which the planters can send their sugar, the sum of $600,000 will besaved annually to the residents. and they plausibly argue that our Pacific coast ili be equally benefitted by reciprocal free trade in their ports. It séems that the annexation movement became 0 strong that the King and his friends were obliged to resort to the pending treaty as the only measure which could allay its progress. The Government native journal opposed the treaty, and warned the nobles and ropresenta- Uves otthe Government against the malicious designs of traitors, and advise the Legislature to lay the treaty on the table. ‘The writer “said the chiefs and representa- tives ofthe people in the Legislature may think they are called together to consider and pass, for the general benefit, the convention between the two Government; but in view of the threats to seize the Goyernments,and the desire for the death of his majesty, Kamakmaha. who isso greatly beloved, and who has the hearts of all the Hawatiane, there is good reason to look upon the treaty with distrust, and refuse to pags it.” Fully organized Congregationalism is pirate ‘peareola in Ohio, yet there are now ninety-four churches with acting pastors, thirty-three with pastors, sixteen vacant, and twelve unconnected.

Dry Goods. There has been rather less activity in the Dry Goods trade daring the past week than xt any time since the Fall season commenced; but this duilmess has not been owing to any permanent derangement of business, and we jook for @ revival In October, which will probably prove the busiest month in the year. The purchases so far made must, in most cases, be duplicated before winter; the near trade has not yet set in, and the far South, on Account of the pestilence in the Guif States, has been delayed a full month,and may be delayed come weks longer. The little panic in the Money Market, the advance of interes:. and the anticipated decline in the price of cotton, have ail had their effect in creating a temporery dullness; but, asthe country is in want of @ large quantity of dry goods and as the matured crops have furnished abundant means of payment, thez2 c1m be no obstacle to & realization of the reasonabie expectations of our merchants, ‘The decline in the price of cotton has had a very fensible effect upon nearly all kinds of domvstics; in some styles there has been a yielding of baif acent a yard, and the prices Of the previous week have been barely main- tained in anything. In brown goods the sup- ly ts still large and the demand quiet. The tter qualities for bleaching are not in so good. demand a8 they were last week. Bleached goods have maintained their prices: but the demand has been moderate, and another week of compara'tvye dullness would probably wit- ness a reduction of prices. New York Mills sell at 35 cents, and 4-4 Wamsuttas at 30 cents. Drills of all makes are dull; cotton flanne's have been in better demand; jeans are dull at our quotations; denims and cottonades are without material change, but there is more de- mand for the heavier qualities. The demand tor seasonable prints continucs active, and the stock of desirable patterns in first hands has been largely diminished. (ood styles of ging- hame are in demand, and sell treeiy. Silesias, rolled yaconets, and colored cambrics are in better demand, at firm prices. Linseys are not lively; but the market is not overstocked, and agents manifest no anxiety tosell. Mus- lin de jaines, and all goods of a similar descrip- tion—as merinos, coburgs, and reps—of styles adapted to the season, sell freely and maintain firm prices. Yet it is in just there styles of goods that the American manufacturer finds the most formidable competition in the Ger- man and the French manvfacturer. Several bew styles of goods have revently been put upon the market of dom™‘tic manufacture, owing to the high tariff. A large importer of worsted yarns has found it to his advantage to commence the manufacture of such article: in Patterso1 nd finds he can cella better article, ata less price and a larger profit, than he can import. italian cloths, shawls, and woolens are not so firm in price as they have been; and the market is so abundantly supplied that any increase of price is not tobe anticipated. In cassimeres and satinets the demand ts better, and good patterns are readily disposed of to the city trade. In blankets there has been an improved demand, and the stock in first hands is not in excess of the market. The importations of foreign goods and the withdrawals from bonded warehouse during the week have been very large. as the receipts of the custom-house show. The offerings at auction of seasonable geods have been very large and tempting, but the sales have been moderate. The stock of merinos, alpacas, and drese-goods, though not so full as last year, is very large, and prices show a tendéncy to decine.—N. ¥. Independent, 3d AFFAIRS IN PRINCE GzoRGE JOUNTY, Mp —The Marlboro’ Gazette of y>terday erys: ‘The large and substantially built brick s bie of Wm. B. Hill. Esq., near this village, was destroyed by fire on Saturday atternoon. There had been no fire near the premisrs that day, and it is supposed that the fire may have originated from friction matches leftin the hay loft and ignited by ratsand mice. Some few agricultural implements and a quanuty of hay were destroyed. Capt. Magrnder’s cavalry company of Na- tional Guards drilled on Saturday last in Bla- densburg.

There was quite a stiff frost in this section on Monday night—the first, we believe, of the season. THE TRIAL oF Jerr. DAVI8.—A dispatch from Richmond says: The statement made by correspondents at Washington in relation to the conviction of Davis,as expressed by Judge Underwood and Mr. Chandler, at Dis trial in November, are untrue. The District Attorney bas received no instructions from the Govern. ment to proceed with the trial; Le will, how- ever, insist upon the appearance of Davison the Ist of November, mm accordance with his recognizance. There is no doubt that Davis will be present and urge immediate tri through his counsel. If this is not granted an effort will be made to obtain his discharge upon & nolle prosequi. and this may possibly be effected. Ohtef Justice Ohase may be prerent, butas he will be required in Wasbington to n the Supreme Uourt five days afterward, the matter remains in doubt.

Hardly six months have passed since Russian Ameri- ca was acquired, yet enterprise of every character are springing up in that country, which promises to develope a vast and most valuable Pacific trade for the United States. Building lots have advanced several hundred dollars in price at New Archangel and Sitka, in anticipation of a large flow of immigration thitber. Numerons parties are organizing in California to proceed to Russian America to reap the wealth afforded in her gold, copper, ana coal mines, fur trade and fisheries.

In reply to the usual question whether he’had aught to say «+ why sentence of di 1th should not t3 pronounced,” the prisoner stated that, although he made no denial of shooting Firman, it was not willfal murder. He also stated that Hannah Firman and Geo. Brown, two witnesses in the case, had perjured them- selves, and that doubts had arisen as to whether be had pulled the trigger of the gun. Those doubts Quiller said he was entitled to, and for those reasons sentence should not b3 pronounced. (uiller was deeply affected, but did net make gay violent demonstrations.

[From the Boston Post, Sept. 30.) About half past 9 o’elock iast evening, an af- fair occurred in a house ef ill-fame, kept by a woman known as Frank Howard, in Alden street, Which was rather singular in its cir- cumstances and nearly tragic in its results. It Appears that a young man of means, about 30 years of age, named Frederick A. Babcock, and hailing from the city of Uincinnsti, came to ihis city about ‘bree weeks ago A lite more than & week since he fell in with a young woman named Florence A. Blake, otherwise Florence A. George, who for seme time past bas been an inmate of Mrs. Howard’s, and be- came so enamored with ber that, forsaking Dusiness, and regardiess of the disgrace his course would bring upon bis connections in the West, he left the hotel in which he had been stopping and took up his abode entirely with her. During their short 'erm of intimacy Babcock had repeatediy urged the girl to break off her shameful iofe and marry bim. promis- ing totale her with him to Cincinnati, where she wouli find all the comforts and Inxanes ‘which wealth could confer, besides living with nim in a life of outward biameiessness ana purity. The girl, however, was deaf to his entreaties, and used every endeavor to dis- suade the infatuated man from so foolish a course, She told him that not only her posi- tion in life, when found ont. would bring last- ing disgrace upon himself and family, should he marry her, but huving a husband already living it would be impossible for her to com- ply. Notwithstanding all this the young man persisted as much as ever, and finally tnreat- ened her with death if =he did no: comply with bis wishes. In spite of his threats Florence continued to keep bis company as much as be- fore, little thinking he would attempt to car- Ty into effect his rash design. Babcock, at last ‘Worked up to a pitch of frenzy, procured a pistol. and meeting the girl alone in the draw- ing room of the house last evening, told ber once for all, that she musteither consent to marry bim or die. Florence even then did not think that Babcock meant to kill her, and re- fueed, as she had done the former solicitations. Babcock thereupon drew bis weapon, which during the conversation he had concealed from her sight, and presented it at the girl’s head and fired. The latier dodged in time to avoid the ball, whicb lodged in one of the walls of the room. The shot proving unsuccessful, Babcock fired again; but this time the girl Godged behind @ sofa in season to escape the contents of the barrel, which pass 1 into the furniture. Unsuccessful rzain, the young man sprang towards ‘he girl, or be- tween her and the door, to prevent her getting ont of the room, and prepared to shoot a third time. There being a pair of folding doors in the apartment, separating it from an adjoin- ingroom, the Blake girl ran for them, and succeeaed most providentially, fora third time in escaping from her infariated lover. After these unsucceseful attempts at homicide, Bab- cock next attempted to kill himself. He pre- sented the pistol, which had one charge leit. to his temple and fired, the ball passing into the right side of his face near the cheek bone, and lodging near the came spot on theleft side. The wound was too low to injure the brain or to | Not content with this, | cause the loss of sight. Babcock took @ penknife from his pocket and stabbed himself a number of times in the region of the heart, and once the blade pene- trated a short way into one of his jungs. By the time this scene bad been enacted the inmates of the Bouse had reached the apurtment and found the young man sinking, nearly insenet- ble, to the floor. During the frightful at- tempt at self-murder the walle, furniture and carpets of the room were considerably bespat- tered with blood. A physician was summoned immediately after the occurrence, who examin- ed the wounded man, and pronounced his in- juries ofa very dangerous, ifnot fatal,character. Officers Leavitt™nd Sieeper, of the Tuird police, were also called, who, at the sugges- tion of the doctor, procured @ hack, in which | ingmen baye nominated cand the man was taken to the Massachusetts Gen- | eral Hospital. A singular part of this affair was, that after the occurrence the girl, not- withstanding the attempts made upon her life, volunteered to discharge all bills of hack fare. board at the hospital, &c., and even went so far as to call at the latter place, after Babcock had been taken there, to obtain permission to visit and nurse him. Babcock retained his senses through the | whole, and ata late hour last night wasgetting slong ‘as comfortably as possible under tne circumstances. During his stay in this city be has been known as Fred. Bennett, though Babcock is his correct name. Florence A. Blake to whom he appears to bave become co ardently attachea, is a woman of about his own age and of remarkable beauty. of the full, rich brunette type, with well moulded features and very fascinating man- ners. At the time of the affray she was dressed in a costly suit of black velvet. On one of her fingers she wore a diamond ring valued at $200, 8 present from Babcock. A HoTRy Keeper ImPALeD.—Coroner Ulaw- son was summoned yesterday afternoon to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Robert Wallace, of the firm of Wallace & Ewing, proprietors of the New York Hotel, situated on Penn street, near O'Hara, in the Fifth Ward, who was killed by ialling from the third story of the hotel building. The deceased, it appéars, had been in the habit of occasionally going to the upper stories, In the rear part of the hotel, te watch the rats in the yard. Yesterday, about poon, he was seen to go into the back room of the third story and look down intothe yard. Itis supposed that while looking out of the window he lost his balance, and fell down into the yard. In the descent his right leg struck the point of a sharp panel of tne fence with such ferce as te cut a large gash in it, trom which the blood tlowed profusely ‘The injured man was picked. into the hotel. The physicians discovered that the femoral artery of the leg had been severed, but by the time they arrived all efforts to saveghim were unavailing. ana the injured man died in about fifteen minutes after the accident. The physicians state that the only injury sustained was the severing of the artery mentioned, and that if the artery had been closed as soon as the injured man was picfed up, the great loss of biood, which caused his death, would have been prevented, and his life ‘would probably have been saved. The coro- ner’s jury returned @ verdict that the deceased came te Ria death by accidentally falling out of athird story window. The deceased was about forty-three years of age, and leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss.—Pitts)urg Commercial, Monday. A CURE ror CHILLs.—About two years since, says the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, we 8 ated that a citizen of this vicinity had told us that he had broken and cured a spell of chills and fever by the use of pure apple vin- egar—drinking about a winegiass full at a time at intervals before the time for the return of the chill. The Reme {Se ) Courier reports cures by the same course in its neighborhood. 1t ssys that @ lady friend has known this recipe to be used im many cases, and has never known it to fail in curing chills and fever:—- Take a wine- glass tull of the best apple vinegar for nine mornings in this way: Take it three succes- sive days, then omit it three days, and soon until the vinegar has been taken nine morn- ings in all. The vinegar must bea first-rate article of apple vinegar.” GRowTH oF PRUSSIA.—The following figures show the rapid growth ot Prussia within a pe- riod of two centuries:—Under the Elector Frederick I. Prussia consisted of 424 square miles of territory, inhabited by a population of 188,300; under King Frederick I., of 1,961 square miles of territory and a population of 1,731,000; under Frederick II, of 4.476 square miles of on wu 5,659,000 inhabitants; un- der Frederick William 1V., of 5,103 square miles of territory and 16,550,000 inhabitants; and it now has 6,392 square miles of territory and 24,000,000 inhabitants.

Emperor Tue WorkING PRorte—Of the London tailors’ strike itis reported that on September 15th, out of the 1500 men who had strack about one-half had obtained work in other shops from the ones in which ther bad previously labored. Some had deserted the Tailors’ Union and gone back to work at the old rates: others had obtained work in tne country, And about 2) bad emigrated to America. There were a few lett who were ont of work. In Pittsburg, as is well know: the work- tes for the Legisiature and local offices. The labor newspaper in that city, reterring to the usual anxiety of the politicians, about election ime to do ali sorts of things for the classes, in return for their votes, spet manner that will be appreciated by the workingmen, whom the politicians are so anxious to cenciliate im this neighborhood. The Advocate, the labor organ at Pittsburg, says: “The politic'ans talk a great deal now, as they have often done before. about what they propose to do for the laboring classes. Their present talk 1s no better than their old talk, and their old tsik never amounted to anything but words, words, word: a very cheap words at tBat. Now, it these politi- ey profess to common sense, don’t they join the working- men’s party, and thus contribute to the | success of the only organization upon which the laboring classes can rely for the protection of their rights and interests?” New RAILROAD CaR.—A novel style of rai? car, carrying its own track, and designed for use on common roads or the streets of a city, was shown st Philadelphia on Monday. in this vebicle. the car moves the wheels instead of the wheels moving the car, and the wheels do not touch the ground at ail. There are six pairs of wheels, and each pair has a broad fiat toot attached. ‘These «‘feet” rest on tue ground and bear up the wheels, while two rails under the body of the car are made to roll along the upper surface of the tire as if {t were passing over so many pallies or triction rollers. Phe feet and wheels are all connected by an end- less chain, and ss fast as the body of the car passes beyond one of these feet it is litted from the ground and made to travel along to the front of the car, where it drops on the road again, and the whole is thus kept in contin- uouswmotion. The wheel track in fact “walks” along the road while the car itself rolls along over the wheels. The body of the car is in form very much the same asan irish «jaunt- Ing car.” where two rows of passengers sit back to back, but is much longer, and is in- tended to carry about as many prssengers as can be seated in one of our ordinary street cars. 87" A very ingenious piece of mechanism for the detection and extraction of bullets in wounds has been devised by Mr. Sylvan de Wilde. The probe, consisting of two steel Wires insulated from each other, is connected with an electric horseshoe magnet and a bell, and when introduced into a wound, it touches the bullet, the circle is completed, and une bell rings. The forceps act on the same principle, and are intended. ttrst to detect, then to seize the builet. They have curved points. and not pallets or spoovs. The points of the probe | are kept sheathed on introduction to a wound, and not uncovered until the supposed ballet is felt. This is effected by means of a sliding tube. Mir. De Wilde's probe is @ sensitive ar- Uficial finger, which enters deeply into the tis- sues, and gives the signal at ouee when it de- fects the hidden source of mischief below. PosTaAL MacHiNeRY.—The machine ex- hibited at the Paris Exposition for obliterating the postage stamp, and xt the same time mark- ing the place where posted, the date and the number of the mail despatch d, is extremely elegant. Ateach pressure of the dies a pair ofrollers supplies them with ink. Thereyolv- ing lift for raising the heavy mail boxes trom beyond seas to the upper floors of the post office, shows how every Iate invention bas been applied to this department. No model attracts greater crowds than the very perfect one of the traveling railway post office, with all its contrivances for the accommodation of | the sorters. The apparatus by which mail | ‘Tyey are both living, and a doctor's Thomas's Hospital, London, actually dined off act recently. The case was investigated, tind the camnibel aiemioped in dlegrace, bags are delivered and received without stop- ping the train,are seen in perfect working order. THE PARIS ExPosttion.—The Paris corres- pondent of the London Star says that during the firet four months no less than 6,(\00.000 were admitted through the one franc wicket to the palace; the average number of holders of weekly tickets has been 1,(0 per day; number of agents, walters, workmen, &¢, &c., employed in the interior of the building—and ‘who, of course, are admitted gratia—is, 60,000 aday. It is reckoned that 700 solders yisits the Exhibition daily without tickets. RUSSIAN FERBLING AGAINST FRANCE.—A letter from Warsaw reveals the sentiments of distrust with which the Russian authorities in Poland regard the French. Since the trial of Bereowski, the Russian Government is very severe, not only on everything Polish, but everything French. Inthe new programme of the colleges, instruction in the French lan- guage has been suppressed: the day of the opening of the classes, the professors of that language received their dismissal. 7 The convicts of the penitentiary at Mion. igan City, Indiana, appeared to be leaking out of its hospitable walls in some mysterious manner last week, when a thorough overhaul- ing of the concern disclosed a sixty-feet tunnel under the wails. It was stopped up; but seven of the convicts were gone, never, never to re- turn—if they can help it. SZ A sailing carriage, designed for crossing the plains, bas been made at St. Louis. Its wheels are ten feet high; it has two upright jib sails, and a sail on each spoke of the two wheels on one side of the wagon. The steering gear acts on the forward wheels. The body is shaped like a boat, and hung low, and will be used as a boat in crossing streams. CHOLERA IN ST. LOUIS.—We have authentie intelligence that the Asiatic cholera is prevail- ing to a fearfal extent in St. Louis. On ‘Wednesday there were twenty-seven deaths, and the disease is raging in all parts of the city. The press is obligated by some strange terms not to make public the condition of affairs.—Louisviile Democrat. S77" lt is curious to note the distinctions of color as applied to disease. There are the yel- low fever, the black vomit, the green sickness, the white swelling, the scarlet fever, the yel- low jaundice, and,as Mrs. Partington says, the “brown creeters."”" And now we have, as a climax, tle «blue death,” on board the hos- pital ship at quarantine.—New Fork Post.
