The copperhead journals have started the “hue and cry” of another civil war in the event of the impeachment aid removal of President Johnson. One of these organs of the peace party of the warand the war party of the peace saye that “ the radicals are stronnously bent on impeachment, and the result can be nothing Jess than a hideous civil war, in which men will be eager to cut the, throats of their nearest neighbors.” And, as we are farther told, it will not be a civil war of sections, like that which has 90 happily ended, but {ft will bo-« civil war in the Northern Slates between tho peace party and the war party. of the late con- filct, But how is this new civil war to be inaugurated? Broad hinte have been thrown out from various quarters that the President himself wil! take the initiative, in the event of his removal or suspension by the high Court of the Senate, and upon the plea that noither house of Congress, with ten States excluded from any representation therein, is constitn- tionally qualified to impeach or to try him. Then, as we understand the counsels and pro- phecies of these Southern rebel. and Noribern copperhead Cassandras, the President is to try a coup d’éat like that of President Louis Na- poleon against the National Assembly of the last French republic; and he is to call the ftmy and the States to the rescue, when, it is expected, the rebel States will spring again to their arms, together, this time, with all the Northern peace party of the late war. Now, if any sane man believes that Andrew Yoboson entertains any such absurd notions of resistance to the authority of Congress we would osk him what chance is there of any snecess in the attempt at this suggested coup @éat? Gereral Grant and his army of o million Union soldiers woald unquestionably respond to a ¢all from Congress. The loyal States are in the hands of loyal men, and they are now actively co-operating with Congress. The rebel States have tnd endugW of civil war to last them at least to the end of the present generation; nnd, besides this, they have « popnlation of biacks amounting to some four millions, and they arc, as parties now stand, ® unit with the party which fought out their emancipation, And yet again, the people of the loyal States, to the of three thousand millions of favested in government securities, ate ented In sustaining Congress and {n majotalm® when tho timo comes, but submitssion to his impeachment and remével from office: What has he to stake against the threo thousand millions “of money ‘the million "of ve!

Nothing but his peet- Har notions of the constitution, which ubist give way to. the constitation iteelf and to the demands of the great revolution which is still fo fall blast and which must ran its course. - This copperhead bue and ory of another civil war fs, then, nothing but a raw head and bloody bones—a horrible Chinese dragon, & mere scarecrow, intended to frighten Con- gress from this impeachment.’ Tlie cepper- heads caré nothing for Andrew Johnson‘except as an instrument to be used for thelr purposes— acat’s-paw to rake the chestnuts from the, fire. They, with Mr. Johnzon’s continuance in office to the end of his term, think, like Micawber, that’ “som may tarn up,” that the dead- lock between Congress and the Executive on Southern reconstruction, in the interval to Maroh-4, 1869, may, perhaps, be broken by the Supreme Court in favor of the administration and the rebel States just as they stand, and the Northern democracy of the Chicago plat- form, thus compelling Congress to, readmit tho excluded States on their own terms into both houses and into ‘the Presk dential ‘election of 1868, Mr. Johnson is, to provide these roasted French cheat- nuis. and the Northern peace democracy in war and war democracy in peace are to eat them with their old Southern masters, The Union is to be as it wad under Buchanan; the doctrine of State rights is to be applied ip the repudiation of the war debt of the United States “as an. equivalent for the repudiation of the debt of the late so-called Confederate States; the war for the Union is to be consid@red a blunder, and things are to. be ds they were, slavery and all, as.each of the States fox itself may elect: ‘This, so far as we can comprehend it, ia the programme which the Northern copperheads expect from Mr. Jobnson, if ‘permitted to re- main undisturbed to tho.end.of his regular term. He will then bé at liberty to rétire and compare notes with ‘Millard Fillmore, poor Pierce and Buchanan. The demociacy will have no further use ‘for bin.” He may go. Meantime, as the conflict between Congress and the Exeentive has passed beyond the Inst hope of a compromise, the weaker belligerent must go down. The constitution gives to one branch of Congress the power to impeach the President for “bribery, corruptiom-and. other high crimes and misdemeanors,” and to the other branch the power, as judge aud jury, to try him, convict. him and remove him...Mr. Jobnson’s removal in this way, therefore, under ‘the oxpress authority of the constitution, will be ‘the end of thie conflict. With fhe verdict of the Senate against him, which im such cases stands above the Supreme Conrt, he becomes a private citizen again, and, so far from there being any disturbance: on -the subject, the vio- tim will gracefully submit, and, as an orange that has been eucked dry, his present copper- head. admirers will, cast him aside. Thore is only one man of al) the prominent Union leaders against the late rebellion who, bya “mistaken policy, lost an equal chance to that of Andrew Johnson for the Presidency in his own right, and that man is General McClellan. The soldier failed in attempting too little; the civilian has failed in attempting too much; and so the great revolution which brought him into power will move him out. Now Phases of the Taterminabdle Mexican IMuddle. Affairs 2 and with regard to Mexico sre constantly changing. It is difficult to know what is taking place or what is going to happen. At one time wo are informed that the Emperor Napoleon is going to withdraw all the French troops in good ¢aith a8 promised to our government; then we hear thata portion of them will be left as volunteers to suppért Maximilian. One day it is reported that Maxi- milinn Is about to abandon Mexico, and the next that he is determined to hold on and fight it out to the last ditch and last mau. One report represents the national liberal forces as making great headway, and another that they have been repulsed and driven hack. The complexion of these contradictory reports varies according to the medinm through which they come. ‘The last and most reliable newa, however, is that with regard to the trick which Napoleon ts about to play upon our government. It ap- pears now that the representative of the Em- peror in Mexico, General Castelnan, hos re- ceived a despatch instructing him not to make. any effort to foroe Maximilian to leave, aud telling him that those French soldiers who wish to stay os volunteers under the imperial Mex- ican banner are to be permitted to romain. It is. supposed that tempting inducements will be offered and that a large number of these soldiers will remain. Some coercion may be used even under this pretext of volunteering. Meanwhile there is no doubt the liberals are advancing to the principal cities and even to the city of Mexico, in every direction, as the French command is withdrawn. Maximilian, with all the Fronch voluntcors And nativé troops he oan muster, will hardly be able to check this swelling tide of the liberals around him. It is really surprising that so astute a man as Napoleon should not sec this. If he were wise and acting in good faith he would not only refuse to let any of the French soldiers remain as voianteers, but would insist upon the departure of the imperial puppet he set up with his own forces. The ostablishment of Maximilian {s a part of the intervention of Ne- poleon, and nottiing short of its removal will satisfy this country. If the French Emperor io going to play tho tricky game reported ‘he will hear such s voice of indignation from Con- gress and the people of this country 4s may’ disturb him. The decided and empbatic laa- guage of Mr. Howard, in the Senate last Tues- day, on the Mexican question is but the mat tering of the storm that must follow. For the sake of peace and to preserve good relations with the French, our ancient friends, we hope Napoleon may not pursue the equivocal and { : lean withdrawal from Mexico, troops, Impe- rial establishment and nll, is the enly wise anf NEW YORK HERALD, terpay, JANUARY 18, 1867. foie moan tele | os would figve +0'leave when should be vii ABS ap. early departure. evident, «. not going emp but it tae pSnege haul of spoils as Ke ean.

Sho may dave more pence .whon deploted of the temp- tation herriches afford. Opening of the River Amases. We referred briefly a few days ago to tho decree of the Emperor of Brasil declaring that the river Amazon was about to be opened to the freo navigation of all countries. We havo since published thet decree in full, by which it appears that from the 7th of September, 1867, the navigation of the river Amazon as far ag the fronticrs of Brazil, of the river Tocantins to Camets, of the river Tapajoz to Sanjerem, and of the river Madeira to Mandos, sha!l be open to the commerce of all nations.” The river St. Frageisco shall be opened atthe game date as far as the city of Ponedo. The navigation of the tributaries:of the Amazon, in places where only one bank. belongs to Brazil, shall @epend upon treaties'yetto be made with the Sta‘es holding title to the other bank, as'to the reapective limit of cagh State as. well.as to fiecalaend police regulations, This, is a most Important. concession in view of tho,vast and productive terrjtory which is thus,thrown open'to the commerce and enter- priso of this country, We bave the authority of Protessor Agassiz, who has just returned from @ tour of scientific-investigation in Brazil, that the valley of the Amazon is an immense extended plain, with: an-ocean front of one handsed and .fifly-miles, wide, through which thetiver and its’ tributaries discharge a fresh water occan into the Atlantic. ‘This grand stream is dotted with fertile’ islands, and for a, distance of over @ thousand miles the navi- gator cannot see both Bhores.

Under'tho thrifty hand of American en- terprise. it might be made,to support from fifty to @ hundred millions, Cattle innumerable swarm over all these South American coun- tries, affording a fine export market for hides and tallow ; and, if attention were directed to that purpose, for beet aiso, which is now con- sidered. of little account in eonsequonce jot the large supply..

All these causes combined suffice not only to account for the deficit, but to reveal the fact that Austria is illy enough prepared for a war with Hungary, wi might prove the sigoal for 9 general Eugopean war.

Local freight going within the State is charged out of all proportion bighor than through freight. This should no longer be suffered. The freight for places in the {aterior of the State is now, in consequence of these troubles, shipped by way of Bridgeport, and wo are informed that the rates by that indirect route are actually lower than those charged cver the Hudson River road, in consequence of the discrimina- tion made on our own roads against our own Citizens, The should look into this matter without delay. || Whe English Reform Movement.

The “fierce démocracie”’ of New Hampshire, met at the city of Concord: om Wednesday last and went through the form of a nomination for Governor of the State. They adopted a series of resolutions, in th they approved of the proposition to hold a national democratic con- vention in this: oity,at an early date and de- clared their detérmination to “adhere to their past principles.” Just so, The old copper- head léaders of the democracy are resolved that the machine shall not get ont of the old fat, So long as it rans in that they can retain their positions as drivers.
